Later on, she thought, there was nothing going on between her and Lin Wencheng, it was just a meeting, why did she need to be so guilty? The reason why she avoided him was because she didn't want him to know her identity.
However, the more she prayed, the more his gaze swept over her. With her head lowered, she could even feel his gaze circling above her head, bringing with it a whizzing coldness.
Lin Wencheng naturally noticed her uneasiness. He turned around and saw the man's distant smile. A hint of stiffness flashed across his gentle face before it turned into a polite smile. Even though he was unwilling, he still stood up to greet the man out of etiquette.
"Second Young Master Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Gu Mo Cheng had an estranged smile on his face as he walked over. After greeting Lin Wen Cheng, he turned his gaze back to the person who had been bowing his head all this time.
"Eh? Wife, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home and not run around?! "
He sat down beside her and took her into his arms.
"Haha …"
Hearing his words, Mu Yurou felt even more embarrassed, so he could only raise his head and stare at him with a hollow laugh.
But why did it seem to her that he was following her?
"We were about to order some food. Since Second Young Master Gu is here, why don't we eat together!"
Lin Wen Cheng sat down and passed the menu to Zhang Xuan.
Just as Mu Ran was about to stop the man from receiving it, he narrowed his eyes and ordered a pile of food. He tilted his head and asked her,
"What did you talk about with Prosecutor Lin?"
Mu Wenwen looked at Lin Wen Cheng with a bit of disinterest, then he tried his best to stall the man.
"Brother Wen Cheng said he wants to help me find a job …"
"Oh? "What job?"
he continued to ask.
He continued to interrogate Mu Wenwen and did not know how to answer him. He could only look at Lin Wen Cheng for help as he could understand that she had yet to let Gu Mo City know her identity.
So he laughed and interrupted the chase of a man,
"I haven't decided on the specific job yet. Today, I've asked Xiao Yan out because I want to hear her opinion!"
"Oh? "Is that so?"
Gu Mo Cheng didn't even look at Lin Wen Cheng, but his gaze was still fixed on her face. Unhappiness began to surface in his eyes, as he didn't ignore the fact that she was flirting with Lin Wen Cheng.
His intuition told him that things weren't as simple as Lin Wen Cheng said. When he was at home, he deliberately said that the company had an excuse, but he didn't expect her to follow him out immediately.
Seeing that Lin Wen Cheng was helping her to resolve the situation, Mu Ran quickly followed and said,
"That's right, isn't he graduating soon …"
Gu Mo Cheng smiled but didn't say anything. He raised his hand to pull up her small chin, completely exposing the bruise on her chin to Lin Wen Cheng's eyes. Then, under Lin Wen Cheng's instantly pained gaze, he dotingly kissed the corner of her mouth.
"Do I not earn enough money for you to spend? "What's the point of working so hard!"
Mu Ran embarrassedly slapped his hand away and choked him in displeasure.
"Your money is yours. I want to go out to work and become self-reliant!"
She had never thought of having to rely on a man to support her. Although that kind of life seemed very comfortable and relaxing to some people, to her, it was just a waste of her youth.
Most importantly, although she was small and ordinary, she hoped to be able to use her own hands to help those who needed help. This was also the reason why she followed Uncle Heng to study medicine.
Gu Mo City's expression immediately darkened, and for her merciless refusal, the atmosphere became slightly awkward. At this moment, the waiter came over with the soup they had ordered, which eased the tension.
He picked up a spoon and scooped up a bowl of soup, then handed it to her. He was a woman after all, and he didn't want to get into an argument with her in front of outsiders, especially when it was in front of her first love.
Unexpectedly, the moment he placed the bowl of soup in front of her, Lin Wen Cheng indifferently opened his mouth.
"Xiao Yan doesn't like to eat things that are too hot. You should let her cool down first before giving it to her!"
He hadn't even retracted his hand when he heard Lin Wen Cheng's words and froze in place. A hint of awkwardness appeared on his handsome face, but it was soon replaced by a thin layer of anger.
He could bear to have her carry him out to meet Lin Wencheng, or to have them all lie to him in unison just now, but did his wife still need someone to tell him how to take care of her?
In this sort of situation, no matter how well-trained he was, it was impossible for him to endure any longer. Lin Wen City was simply a blatant provocation! Was he showing him how much he knew her?
Therefore, he ruthlessly and unrestrainedly glared at Lin Wen Cheng. Then, he got up, grabbed her and walked out. He couldn't eat anymore, he might just die from anger after the meal!
He used his brute force to pull Mu Wenwen along behind him. Just as the two of them arrived at the door, a gust of cold wind hit them head-on, Mu Wenwen tightly hugged him as he whispered to him.
"Gu Mo City, my outer robes …"
He glared at her thin body and went back to get her coat. Mu Wenwen hugged his arms as he leaned against the carved wooden door of the restaurant. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She also knew that Lin Wencheng's words had just angered him, so she didn't refuse him pulling her away. If they didn't continue fighting, it would be bad.
Lin Wen Cheng's words were probably not intentional. He was not the kind of person who would intentionally harm others, perhaps it was just out of habit. After all, they had been together for so many years, so he clearly knew her every liking.
Furthermore, she had previously been scalded to the point that the skin on her mouth fell off due to drinking too hot soup, which left a deep impression on Lin Wencheng.
But now that she thought about it, things had changed. She could feel that Lin Wen Cheng couldn't let her go, but so many years had passed. They had separated for two years, and she had married for two years.
Actually, it wasn't that Lin Wen Cheng couldn't let her go, it was that she had changed.
Gu Mo Cheng walked with large strides to the table where the three of them had been sitting before and saw Lin Wen Cheng still maintaining the same posture as when they left. He was staring at the dishes on the table in a daze, his clear and handsome face filled with sadness and pain.
With a sneer, he strode forward and took her coat and hung it carelessly on her arm. Then he leaned against the table and looked down arrogantly at Lin Wen Cheng. His aura was so strong that Lin Wen Cheng had to raise his head to look at him.
The corner of his mouth raised into a polite smile. His eyes were filled with warning.
"Public Prosecutor Lin, I allowed her to contact you before because you were her second brother-in-law. Now that you have nothing to do with the Mu family, so …" I hope that you will treat her like a stranger in the future! "
He spoke coldly and mercilessly, not leaving any face behind. His words were overbearing and forceful, and hidden within his tone was the determination to win against her. After he finished speaking, he strode away without looking back, leaving Lin Wencheng alone to clench his fists in heartache.
Do you think she's a stranger in the future? So many years of protection, so many years of love, and just one word from him made him forget all about her as a stranger? Wasn't he too arrogant?
He clenched his fists and gasped for breath. Every bone in his hand was white with the force of his strength. After a while, he let go of his hands and slumped back in his chair.
That's right! Perhaps only such an arrogant, unrestrained and domineering man like Gu Mo Cheng was qualified to stay by her side. He had the ability to protect their relationship and was rich enough to allow her to live a carefree life.
A man like this is like a tree. A towering tree, a bird that was able to land on it, was truly blessed.
Unlike him, being in a family of officials and officials, although he appeared to be of limitless glory, he couldn't even decide his own marriage or happiness. Thus, at the very end, all of the heartache, unwillingness, sadness, and blessings turned into a long sigh …
The sound of steady footsteps came from behind him. Mu Wenwen knew that he had returned, so she took the coat from him and put it on before following him out of the restaurant. Since she knew that he was angry, she didn't know what to say, so she stayed silent.
As soon as he left the restaurant, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke, one after the other. He strode ahead of her with the cigarette in his mouth and one hand in the pocket of his coat, and the heavy smell of the smoke wafted into her nose with the wind, making her cough so hard she turned her head away.
He walked up to the car, tossed the half-smoked cigarette to the ground, and stamped it out with his foot. Then he turned to look at her, her wine-colored hair shining in a silver cloth.
Mu Wenwen took in a deep breath and slowly walked to the front of the car. Standing in front of him, he asked in a low voice.
"Are there any secrets between you and Lin Wen City?"
She lowered her head and stood there blankly for a moment. Then, she raised her pure white face to receive his penetrating gaze and muttered,
"None …"
However, the moment hesitation flashed through her eyes, it was unable to escape from his sharp falcon-like eyes. Gu Mo Cheng felt his chest being about to burst from anger.
"Don't think I didn't see the two of you winking at each other in the beginning! There are no secrets. Why can't you say something in front of me? "
