Seeing that, Gu Jiaru felt gloomy, as her own boss, she was basically just a living parent, why did she have to act like she could carry her, treating her to a meal like that was actually something he had to pay for?
Just as Gu Jiaru was thinking about where to go to have a meal that would be more cost-effective, a sentence from Han Yunshang interrupted her train of thought completely, "Tell me about your family's situation."
"Why do you ask?" Gu Jiaru became alert, and almost broke out in cold sweat.
Looking at her overly nervous expression, Han Yunshang secretly tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Firstly, I am your boss, understanding the basic family situation of the employees, is a part of my job. Second, I want to marry you, so I want to meet your family. "
After saying all that, Han Yunshang looked deeply into Gu Jiaru's eyes: "Is this reason considered sufficient?"
However, she remained silent, lowering her head and twisting her fingers back and forth.
"What is it? Is it inconvenient to say it? " Han Yunshang's eyes were deep and bottomless, concealing all of his thoughts.
Although Gu Jiaru put on a pitiful look, the thoughts in her mind were spinning very quickly. What did he mean by that? Did he know something? Did she deliberately say these words to test herself? Or was it just a casual question? Or did he want to marry herself? They wanted to merge the two families.
But how is this possible!?
After her train of thought stopped here, Gu Jiaru had already made up her mind on the inside. When she raised her head again, she only said dejectedly: "My parents are dead, and I have a brother who is not related to me by blood."
This answer was not unexpected to Han Yunshang. He had long investigated the situation and at the same time, he was expecting this. He even prepared to feel sorrowful and apologetic.
But when Gu Jiaru said these words in a low voice, Han Yunshang suddenly felt that all his preparations were unnecessary. The moment he saw her sad eyes, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle. Even after the needle had been removed, he still felt a dull ache.
"I'm sorry." His apology was natural, and he did not ask about the surveillance cameras in his mind, even though he had been thinking for a long time.
"It's fine," Gu Jiaru felt a kind of sad sadness on her body, "Those who don't know are innocent."
The ignorant are not guilty.
Her clear voice resonated in Han Yunshang's mind, giving him a "sin" feeling. He was actually somewhat sorry for his actions.
"Besides, I don't think we need to see my family." Gu Jiaru could not imagine what it would be like if he were to see Xia Fengnan.
"My brother doesn't care about me …" Gu Jiaru prepared to use this as an excuse.
And at this time, Han Yunshang actually slowly held onto Gu Jiaru's hand: "Since that's the case, I'll bring you to see my family."
"Are you kidding?!" Gu Jiaru said as she tried to pull her hand out.
After trying a few times to no avail, she sneered and said, "You and I are not from the same world, what can I say even if we meet your family? Hanxiuqing is the best daughter-in-law in their eyes, right? "I've already said that we're all adults, and it's just an accident. There's no need for you to take the blame …"
The word 'responsible' had yet to leave his mouth. Han Yunshang suddenly stepped on the brakes, quickly leaning over and firmly blocking her lips.
The long kiss lasted for about a minute, until Gu Jiaru was almost unable to breathe.
But in the next second, his warm lips landed next to her ear, and he said in a numb voice, "If you continue to speak nonsense, I'm not just saying that I'll take you on the spot."
"Then what do you want?" After being tormented like that, Gu Jiaru almost did not dare to look him in the eye.
"I've said it many times, this is the last time. Marry me." Han Yunshang's expression was extremely serious.
Gu Jiaru remained silent for around three minutes before replying seriously, "I feel that there are a lot of things that I have not finished dealing with. The time that I have known you for is also too short and I don't feel safe yet. So, I need some time to think about it. "
"How long?" Han Yunshang asked.
Gu Jiaru did not answer.
"You don't have to procrastinate in this way. Whatever you're worried about, I'll take care of it quickly. I can give you a sense of security. But as for the issue of knowing each other for too short a period of time, I am unable to control myself and am unable to make it longer. If possible, I would rather know you earlier. "
"I'm tired, I want to rest." Only she herself knew how conflicted Gu Jiaru was in his heart. She felt that she was no longer suitable to be together with Han Yunshang, and every word he said would cause Gu Jiaru's heart to involuntarily tremble.
Gu Jiaru added: "I don't want to eat dinner. You can go back to your own home. Since Meixi asked about you today, you can't stay so late. "
"Yes." Han Yunshang's mood was obviously low.
This made Gu Jiaru a little nervous, but she didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
One hour later.
Gu Jiaru carried the potato chips and looked at the various scenes that appeared on the television. She had turned her voice to a minimum so that she could think about it.
They had obviously approached Han Yunshang at the beginning with a clear goal in mind. If Han Yunshang wanted to marry his, he should also happily agree to it.
But why was she hesitating now …
Gu Jiaru felt that Han Yunshang was like a poison. She wanted to try and yet was unable to.
In any case, marrying him seemed like her choice. However, her heart was afraid of getting close to it.
A few weeks ago, she had made a series of plans, even considering that it would take her six months to get involved in his life.
However, his intimacy with her was something she'd never expected. Did he really already have feelings for me in such a short amount of time? Or could it be that he had already noticed something and he had exposed himself?
"Dong, dong, dong." Knocking on the door brought Gu Jiaru back to the real world.
That's it, could it be that Han Yunshang is here again?
Gu Jiaru would sometimes feel his intentions towards her, but her intentions always made her feel fear.
"Miss Gu, your takeout." Several formal chefs were lined up outside the door.
This scene made her panic.
Outlet? Did she hear wrong?
If it was take-out, why were there so many people serving the food?
"Sorry, I didn't order it." After what happened that day, Gu Jiaru was more vigilant, and just as she was speaking, she prepared to close the door.
"Wait." The leading man quickly said, "It was a French dinner that the Mr. Han had prepared for you. In order to ensure the experience of the meal, all the ingredients needed to be prepared and cooked on the spot."
You can order takeouts like that? Was there such a thing in take-out products?
Rich people really know how to play.
"If you are worried, you can give Mr. Han a call." As he spoke, he revealed his phone records with Han Yunshang.
Only now did Gu Jiaru realize that she had already memorized the numbers.
Since his words had come to this point, Gu Jiaru had nothing to doubt, so she stepped forward to let them pass.
Looking at the bustling scene in the room, she felt that everything was not real. Not to mention this life that she should not have enjoyed, Han Yunshang's meticulous patience was something she had never imagined.
All of his thoughts were wiped away by the fragrance of the food. Looking at the yellowish prawns, the crisp cilantro, and the soft noodles glowing with vitality in the hands of the chef, Gu Jiaru's heart was filled with warmth.
"Hey, are you preparing this big table to feed the pigs?" When he received the call from Han Yunshang, Gu Jiaru's face involuntarily lit up with a smile.
"You can't finish it?" Then I'll come over and help you eat? " Although Gu Jiaru's expression could not be seen, Gu Jiaru could still imagine his smiling face.
Gu Jiaru hurriedly rejected her, "Don't, don't, don't. I can enjoy it myself."
The negotiations he had with her these past few days had exhausted both Gu Jiaru's body and mind. Before she completely understood what was going on, it would be better for her to stay far away from him.
However …
She turned around and looked at the items on the table. She felt that this night would not be peaceful either.
After the several chefs finished preparing the dishes, they left, while Gu Jiaru ate the food on the table, "Really, I wanted to lose weight at first, it's too excessive."
The food was simply too delicious, Gu Jiaru really wanted to swallow the chopsticks down. At the same time, she couldn't help but regret that the chefs who were called to the house by Han Yunshang had this kind of taste. If they went to the restaurant that she liked, perhaps it would be more satisfying for their stomachs …
It was unknown whether it was because it was easier to fall asleep after she had eaten her fill, or because Gu Jiaru had not rested well these past few days, but not long after she finished eating, she fell asleep on the sofa.
He thought he would be able to sleep for a whole night without any dreams, but what he didn't expect was that after not sleeping for a while, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly struck him from his stomach.
At the same time Gu Jiaru opened her eyes, she felt a pain that nearly made her roll to the ground.
He had wanted to grit his teeth and insist on going to the bathroom, but he couldn't stop himself from groaning and couldn't move a single step.
"Save …" "Life." She was the only person in the large room. She didn't know who she was going to ask for help, but her voice was extremely weak.
Fine beads of sweat started to slide down her forehead. Gu Jiaru knew that if this were to continue, even if she died from the pain, no one would know.
Thinking of this, she held her stomach tightly as she frantically searched for her phone. However, she was in her most anxious moment, yet her cellphone was nowhere to be seen.
Alone in the room, a sense of helplessness enveloped her.
He had to get out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to call an ambulance.
This was the only thought on Gu Jiaru's mind that kept herself from fainting.
The moment she opened the door, she shouted with all her might, "It hurts … "Save me …"
But in the dead of night, no neighbor could hear such a weak cry. Gu Jiaru was a little worried about her new residence. She did not know what was happening to her body, but she felt a kind of panic that did not come from nowhere.
"Lil Ru." At this moment, a deep voice resounded in his ears.
As if finding a lifeline, Gu Jiaru tightly grabbed onto the person's clothes, her face pale and teeth clenched.
"Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital." Liu Yang said hurriedly as he carried Gu Jiaru in his arms.
"Acute appendicitis, requires immediate surgery." The doctor's capable voice sounded beside Gu Jiaru's ears, "Family members can pay the entrance fees."
