Gu Xiwan walked into the lobby on the first floor nervously.
Zhou Shutong, Mu Yunian and the two hearing and sighted servants were nowhere to be found. Apart from Chu Lingjue, there was only one deaf-mute servant who was busy.
"Come here." Chu Lingjue cast his eyes on Gu Xiwan,
Hearing his cold voice, Gu Xiwan, who was already nervous, couldn't help but tremble her fingertips.
She tried her best to stay calm,
"I heard from Butler Cheng that you have been waiting for me for a long time. What can I do for you?"
"I'll give you two things."
Chu Lingjue always seemed to be shrouded in a layer of ice, making it impossible to judge his emotions.
"what?"
Gu Xiwan's eyes were filled with defensiveness.
Perhaps it was because Chu Lingjue was too aloof. Although Chu Lingjue had never harmed Gu Xiwan and even saved Gu Xiwan several times, Gu Xiwan always felt that there would be nothing wrong with Chu Lingjue taking the initiative to find her. Good thing.
Seeing that Gu Xiwan refused to come to him, Chu Lingjue stretched out his long legs and took the initiative to come to Gu Xiwan.
"Hand out."
The extremely noble Chu Lingjue seemed to have a magical power that could not be violated. Although Gu Xiwan was rebellious at heart, at this moment, her right hand reached out to Chu Lingjue as if it was not controlled by her brain.
Then he realized it later and said awkwardly,
"What do you want me to reach for?"
"I just told you that I want to give you something."
With this seductive voice, Chu Lingjue had already placed a ring and a bank card in Gu Xiwan's hand.
Gu Xiwan recognized this ring.
Although she didn't have much research on jewelry, this ring was noble and bright, just like Chu Lingjue's person. Once she saw it, she would never forget it.
What's more, after Chu Lingjue gave the ring to Gu Xiwan, Gu Xiwan still took it and wanted to pawn it.
And this bank card also seems familiar.
"On the day you took your mother and fled to Yucheng, I gave you this bank card. Before you fled, you gave the bank card and the 'Dragon Control Ring' to the guard and asked the guard to return them to me.
Take it, I still say the same thing, since you are my wife, every penny you spend from now on will be borne by me. No matter what you want to buy from now on, don't care about the price, just buy it. "
Gu Xiwan's eyebrows twitched.
Chu Lingjue also said these words to her on the day she fled, but there was no disturbance in her heart that day.
At this moment, when she heard Chu Lingjue say these words again, her heart felt like a tsunami, and the waves were raging.
She even felt happy that Chu Lingjue doted on her!
Ah!
Gu Xiwan almost laughed at the sudden idea that came to her.
Chu Lingjue dotes on her?
Chu Lingjue had told her many times that he would do this to any woman who was his wife.
What's more, the relationship between her and Chu Lingjue lasted only a hundred days... Why would she have such a whimsical thought that Chu Lingjue would pamper her? !
"And this ring. Since I gave it to you, I have no intention of taking it back. Just remember, don't pawn it again. Even if a profiteer dares to buy it, the price offered to you will be far lower than its actual value. Value, if you are short of money, just ask me, but I hope you keep this ring forever."
Chu Lingjue's voice struck again.
Gu Xiwan knew Chu Lingjue's domineering temperament. Besides, this was the second time he had given her these two things. Even if she didn't intend to accept them sincerely, she didn't dare to refuse them too directly.
So, he nodded calmly,
"Well, don't worry."
As he said that, he put the ring and bank card into his pocket.
She will not use this bank card, nor will she wear this ring again. When her agreement with Chu Lingjue expires, she will return these two things intact to Chu Lingjue.
She should have been calm.
However, why is the heart disobedient and restless again?
Just because Chu Lingjue said "forever" to her.
She didn't know why Chu Lingjue, who knew she only had a hundred days to be husband and wife, said this "forever"?
But this "forever" seemed to drop a depth bomb in Gu Xiwan's heart, making her unable to calm down for a long time.
At this time, Chu Lingjue had already turned around and left.
Gu Xiwan couldn't help but be confused. She raised her eyes to look at his tall figure.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"No more." Chu Lingjue was as cold as water.
The confusion in Gu Xiwan's eyes became even stronger.
Butler Cheng told her solemnly that Chu Lingjue had something important to ask her. She thought something big had happened, but it turned out that Chu Lingjue just wanted to give her these two things...
Did Chu Lingjue wait for her for an hour just to return these two things to her?
Chu Lingjue, who cherishes time like gold, would go to such trouble for such a trivial matter!
What went wrong?
"Juejue, don't leave yet. Who do you think is coming to see you?"
Zhou Shutong's voice suddenly came from the yard.
Gu Xiwan came back to her senses instantly and looked into the yard. She saw Zhou Shutong and Mu Yunian walking towards the living room door arm in arm. Zhou Shutong not only held Mu Yunian in her right hand, she also held a young woman in her left hand.
Gu Xiwan didn't pay attention at first, but when she saw this woman's face clearly, her eyes were fixed on this face as if being sucked, and she couldn't move away for a moment——
Yes!
This woman is beautiful!
It's not an exaggeration to describe her as beautiful as a fairy and as shy as a flower.
But what shocked Gu Xiwan was not the beauty of this woman, but the woman's face, which Gu Xiwan was very familiar with——
This woman is none other than Sheng Xinyi, a popular female star who was named "Asia's Most Beautiful Girl" last month.
In the past, Gu Xiwan had only seen Sheng Xinyi on mobile phones, TV and other media. It had to be said that Sheng Xinyi was more beautiful in reality than on mobile phones and TV. Wearing a pearl white dress, she seemed to be a fairy. gas.
Chu Lingjue's face was expressionless, but his eyes, which had been filled with warmth just because of the face-to-face conversation with Gu Xiwan, suddenly turned cold.
"I thought you were very sick. I heard from our mother that you had been pretending to be sick, so I couldn't help coming over to see you. Now that I see you, I feel relieved. Ling Jue, you are still so healthy and so beautiful. Handsome, he hasn’t changed at all.”
Sheng Xinyi, with her sweet smile, looked like a noble princess.
Gu Xiwan couldn't help but look at Zhou Shutong.
Sheng Xinyi used the title "our mother" when she mentioned Zhou Shutong to Chu Lingjue, and Zhou Shutong didn't show any signs of strangeness... Could it be that Sheng Xinyi and Chu Lingjue are brother and sister?
However, Sheng Xinyi and Chu Lingjue have different surnames...
Just listen to Chu Lingjue say coldly,
"I don't need anyone's false concern. Since you can't help but come and see me, you can leave now that you have seen me."
"Ling Jue..."
Sheng Xinyi showed a hint of grievance in her beautiful eyes. The next second, she said elegantly and calmly,
"We have been engaged since childhood. I was supposed to marry you, but I failed you. You hate me, which is understandable. I also heard that after I got married, you were heartbroken, but you weren't. I wanted to marry Gu Baixue because of love but purely to repay Gu Baixue. Everything is my fault.
But Ling Jue, you know clearly that it was not my intention to let you down, and I have no choice. There is no need for you to treat me like this. "
"..."
Gu Xiwan suddenly froze in place as if frozen.
I felt indescribable surprise, panic, and even a little jealous...
