Chu Lingjue didn't show any signs of strangeness and said in his usual cool tone,
"The servant has prepared lunch. I originally planned to let the servant feed you after you wake up. Since your injury is not important, I went downstairs to eat by myself."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Gu Xiwan originally wanted to complain that she didn't want to eat.
As the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt that being in a temper with Chu Lingjue made him look like he was afraid of him, so he followed him downstairs without showing any signs of weakness.
When Gu Xiwan came to the restaurant, Chu Lingjue was already sitting at the dining table.
She sat across from Chu Lingjue without saying a word.
Only then did she realize that she had been married to this man for three days, but this was the first time she had dinner alone with him.
Gu Xiwan found her favorite sweet and sour chicken feet on the dining table, and she picked one up.
"Can't."
Chu Lingjue's voice came from the opposite side.
Gu Xiwan looked at him in surprise.
"Poultry food can cause liver fire and affect wound healing. As a doctor, you don't understand such a simple truth?" Chu Lingjue said as he filled the casserole with soup.
Gu Xiwan looked at him blankly.
She had never seen someone behave so elegantly and regally at the dinner table.
The shadows of hands shook in front of his eyes.
With a soft sound, Chu Lingjue put the bowl of red date and lotus seed soup in her hand.
"Drink this, it will be good for you."
Gu Xiwan suddenly realized that Chu Lingjue was serving porridge for her just now, and she was flattered.
However, thinking that he had reminded her more than once that no matter who was his wife, he would fulfill his duties, Gu Xiwan instantly calmed down...
He lowered his head and drank the bowl of soup.
Chu Lingjue brought three small steamed buns for her.
"I asked Butler Cheng to order the servants to use blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying fillings. Eat them all so that they will have the nutrients to heal the wounds."
Gu Xiwan unexpectedly discovered that a business emperor like Chu Lingjue was enough to make a fuss. She only suffered a minor skin injury...
She kept her head down.
Chu Lingjue stared at her for a moment,
"Besides, you are too skinny. I like my wife to have some flesh."
"cough!"
Gu Xiwan almost choked to death on a mouthful of soup.
In fact, Gu Xiwan has been losing weight recently. She is 166cm tall. When she was in college, she only weighed 90 kilograms. After working, she became more and more fat, and now she is close to 95 kilograms...
Chu Lingjue didn't seem hungry. He didn't eat. He was choosing and picking up dishes for Gu Xiwan from beginning to end.
Strangely enough, Gu Xiwan actually had a feeling that she had only had when she was having dinner with her mother before she was six years old——
It is a feeling of being pampered, loved and loved!
When Gu Xiwan was six years old, her mother lost her mind and was diagnosed with mental illness. Since then, Gu Xiwan could only live with Gu Shenhai and Zhang Yulian. That feeling was completely missing in her life.
Gu Xiwan could not have imagined that the person who gave her this feeling again after fourteen years was the ice-cold Chu Lingjue!
But she would never let herself have any feelings for Chu Lingjue because of this.
The person Chu Lingjue loves is Gu Baixue.
To Chu Lingjue, she was just a substitute to temporarily replace Gu Baixue's position as "Mrs."...
Thinking of Gu Baixue, Gu Xiwan's mood suddenly became very bad.
She quickly finished the food Chu Lingjue brought her, got up and left.
"You called your mother more than once when you were unconscious. What happened to her?" Chu Lingjue's voice sounded behind her.
The most sensitive area in her heart was poked, and Gu Xiwan's fingertips trembled.
"She's lost."
Chu Lingjue's eyes looked strange.
"We have been married for three days, but you have never told me such an important thing."
With her back to him, Gu Xiwan felt either disappointed or sarcastic, "Our relationship...is there any difference between talking about it and not talking about it?"
"How do you know if it will be different if you don't say anything?" Chu Lingjue's voice was obviously a little deeper. In his right hand, he was still holding the pair of chopsticks that he had just picked up for Gu Xiwan. He felt inexplicably empty in his heart. swing.
Gu Xiwan had deeply experienced Chu Lingjue's domineering attitude and could only say,
"My mother originally lived in a mental hospital. A month ago, she sneaked out of the mental hospital and never came back. Only Gu Shenhai and Zhang Yulian knew her whereabouts. In exchange for telling my mother's whereabouts, they forced me to replace Gu. Bai Xue will marry you..."
Thinking of her mother, Gu Xiwan, who had always been strong, burst into tears.
"But after I got married, they went back on their word. They said they would not tell me my mother's whereabouts until they signed a contract with you for a certain project. That's all."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and hurried upstairs.
She knew her position in Chu Lingjue's heart.
She never expected Chu Lingjue to help her.
Seeing the direction where Gu Xiwan's figure disappeared, Chu Lingjue suddenly felt lost.
At this time, Butler Cheng passed by the restaurant door.
Chu Lingjue said lightly,
"Butler, you have to do something."
The butler came in and said respectfully, "Young master, just give me your orders."
"Give him the project that Gu Shenhai has always wanted."
"this……"
Butler Cheng was extremely shocked.
"Master, in order to repay the favor of the Gu family for marrying a daughter, you wanted to hand over the project to Gu Shenhai on the first day the young lady got married. However, after our in-depth investigation, we found that Gu Shenhai was not qualified for that project at all. If Giving that project to him will cost you at least 200 million.”
Chu Lingjue,
"I know."
Butler Cheng was even more shocked.
"Master, since you know...why?!"
"Butler Cheng, please stop asking." Gu Xiwan's sad face seemed to appear in front of Chu Lingjue's eyes.
"Go and make arrangements now and sign a contract with Gu Shenhai tonight."
Butler Cheng could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, my subordinate, let's do it."
…
The next day.
Chu Lingjue got up at 5:30 in the morning as usual and was reading in the study.
In his hand he held a necklace.
The night the girl saved Chu Lingjue with her own body, Chu Lingjue pulled the necklace from the girl's neck in order to repay the girl in the future.
Later, Chu Lingjue also asked Gu Baixue personally, and Gu Baixue admitted that the necklace belonged to her.
But Chu Lingjue did not return the necklace to Gu Baixue.
For no apparent reason, every time he was with Gu Baixue, he couldn't get back the "scorching" feeling he had with her that night...
And every time Chu Lingjue picked up this necklace, the fragrance that was so faint that it was almost inaudible but could not be ignored came from every pearl in the necklace. He seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned to that night, to that girl. Unspeakable greed and reluctance...
At this time, Butler Cheng knocked on the door.
"Master, the two people who plotted against the young lady woke up in the early morning. After a night of torture, I found out who was the person who ordered them to harm the young lady."
Chu Lingjue's deep eyes were as cold as ice,
"who is it."
"Yes Yes……"
After struggling for a long time, Butler Cheng finally said,
"It's the person you want to spend the rest of your life repaying, the second young lady of the Gu family, Gu Baixue..."
Chu Lingjue's eyes instantly became as deadly as blades.
