This was the first time Qin Lan met her at the banquet where the engagement was announced. She thought that her granddaughter who was taught by the Old Master Lin was, after all, a well-known genius who understood the general situation.
But this escape from marriage really made Qin Lan view the words "famous family's daughter" in a new light.
"What right do you have to say that to someone who did not appear in my past life?"
He scorned the cold curve of his lips, the mockery spreading in all directions.
Hearing this, Qin Lan's hand trembled slightly.
Gu Yanchen's eyes, which were as cold as ice, stared at Qin Lan and flashed with a hint of scarlet, as he said:
"From now on, if there's nothing else, don't appear in front of her."
He turned around and left without a trace of reluctance.
"Gu Yanchen, you …" Her eyes were red from anger and her face began to turn malevolent as she clenched her fists.
This was the good son she had!
On the day he returned to his room, Lin Huanyan heaved a sigh of relief as his father was not in the country. Actually, things like returning to the sect were very rare these days. It was just that Grandpa was being conservative and he also wanted to meet his granddaughter. A married granddaughter was not like the granddaughter he would see every day.
"Actually, you don't have to accompany me back to the Lin Family. "If you have anything else to do …"
In the carriage, Lin Huanyan spoke softly and quietly. The reason she kept her voice low was because she was currently lacking in confidence.
Last night's torment had caused her to still be sleeping this morning, but he had returned to the Gu family to see his mother.
Ethics said, she should have followed along to get Qin Lan some tea. But now, it was better. Her mother-in-law originally didn't like her, but now she hated her even more.
Gu Yanchen did not look at her. Fine, she admitted that she was asking for trouble again.
The entire way, he was speechless.
"Darling, are you enjoying your honeymoon?"
After meeting grandfather, Gu Yanchen stayed in the study room to chat with Old Master Lin, where he and his mother used to act coquettishly in their own room.
Fang Ruoqing asked, and after thinking for a bit, he replied hesitantly:
"Mm …" I think it's because he's happy. "
Mother Lin smiled. What do you mean yes?
"You're shy."
Seeing that his daughter was doing well, he felt at ease.
Lin Huanyan laughed, and then looked around the room, it was still the same as before he left.
"Oh yeah, I made you some soup." Fang Ruoqing said as he stood up to go to the kitchen.
"Mom, there's no need."
"You need to properly replenish your body. You won't be able to drink that much in the future either."
Lin Huanyan was the only one left in the room. She smiled lightly and quietly sat down to wait for her mother's specially brewed soup. Lowering his eyes, he thought of something and raised his head to look at the desk by the window.
He opened one of the cabinets and found a white box lying quietly inside.
Opening the brocade box, the four-leaf clover bracelet that represented luck shone with a white light. The scene of that person personally putting on the bracelet appeared in her mind. It was so beautiful.
Lin Huanyan, what are you still thinking about? He doesn't want you anymore.
"Who sent it?"
A voice suddenly interrupted his immersion in the past. Lin Huanyan immediately closed the embroidered box, hiding his expression and replied with a deep voice.
"I forgot who sent it."
Forgot? Gu Yanchen pursed her lips and smiled, but her cold gaze did not lessen in the slightest, she had actually forgotten all about it!
"Is that so …" He gently asked as he ran his slender fingers across her palm. He opened the box in her hand and took out the bracelet.
Lin Huanyan was a little perturbed. Looking at Gu Yanchen's expression, it was hard to tell what he was feeling right now. But in the next second, she immediately understood.
The silver bracelet flashed in front of her eyes, a perfect curve, before being thrown out of the window.
It happened so fast that the woman froze on the spot.
"The extra things should be thrown away."
When the man's cold voice was heard, Lin Huanyan finally reacted and looked towards the window …
"How can you …" He wanted to say something, but when he looked outside the window, he could not see the bright white light on the green lawn.
"Gu Yanchen, you did it on purpose!" He turned his head and glared fiercely at him. How could he just casually throw away her things without worrying about her!
"Didn't you say that you forgot? Why are you in such a hurry?" Reaching out, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace, bringing her close to him. His palm firmly gripped her back.
"Or should I say, you're lying to me …" The last three words, were uttered with his lips fiercely pressing against hers. In that instant, Lin Huanyan felt a chill crawl from the bottom of his feet to the tip of his heart.
Liar, she was never wise, especially in front of Gu Yanchen.
That dense aura spread to every single part of her body, and even the air around her felt extremely cold.
"I …" Should he explain or should he continue concealing himself? Gu Yanchen's flustered eyes had already betrayed her. She looked at the pair of beautiful eyes, and at this moment, they were trembling because of other men.
Heh, was it because he was too scary to her, or was that person too important to her?
"Joy!" Fang Ruoqing's footsteps approached, and just as he stepped into the house carrying the soup, he saw this scene and was startled, not knowing how to proceed or retreat.
"Let go!" Lin Huanyan panicked. He pushed the man away from his control and looked at his mother awkwardly.
"Yan Chen, you try my soup too." Fang Ruoqing only thought that the couple was bored and did not think much about it.
There was no response, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Lin Huanyan looked at the man's unchanging coldness, his gaze fixated on himself.
"Mom, we still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first."
Afraid that his mother would sense something, Lin Huanyan could only put on a pretense.
"This …" Fang Ruoqing was unavoidably disappointed. It was a soup specially made for his daughter, and before he even had the chance to drink it, he saw that his daughter was about to leave. But he couldn't stay any longer, so he had to give up.
When she got back to the car, his ice-cold face made her heart break out in a cold sweat as she sat in the passenger seat.
The car was speeding at a high speed.
The night had fallen slightly, and the neon lights on the highway had already been lit. However, when Lin Huanyan looked at the lights outside the window that were about to connect together, his hands started to tremble. The speed of the car was too fast, so fast that it ignored everything else.
Lin Huanyan felt that the current Gu Yanchen was not driving a car, but was bringing her to the underworld.
Trembling, more than that.
"Squeak …!" The rapid brakes caught the onlookers off guard, causing their heart that was hanging halfway to their neck to sink.
He clearly saw that the place was not his villa, but the pier by the river.
The sound of the river lapped against the shore. The sound of the water was very hurried, and it sounded somewhat terrifying.
After trying to alleviate the fear just now, Lin Huanyan took a deep breath and looked at the man's cold face.
"Gu Yanchen, a bracelet cannot..." It didn't mean anything. He clearly wanted to say it, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. Even she herself began to question herself. Did it really mean nothing?
"You can't even convince yourself." Gu Yanchen laughed coldly. She wanted to explain, but she didn't even have a reason to convince herself.
He leaned close to her, his seat belt undone at some point. In the small, quiet space, he pressed against her body.
"Gu Yanchen, don't do that!"
"Every time I do this, the one who would like to do it with you is him!"
"No!" "I did not!" She struggled to speak, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't the kind of person he said she was, she'd never thought of it that way. His words were like a sharp sword, piercing her heart. Wasn't he clearly aware of this?
For some reason, Gu Yanchen's humiliation was unacceptable to her, making her feel extremely wronged.
"Yan Yan …" His hoarse voice, which sounded like gravel, was tainted with a tone that was bone-deep pain. His fingers moved so gently that they were covered with her tears. His originally vicious gaze was replaced with deep love.
"Woo woo …" Lin Huanyan cried even harder. She really couldn't take it anymore. The kind of feeling he gave her, the feeling of pain and nostalgia, she would really break down.
"Yan Yan, don't cry."
As he kissed away the tears, his eyes were full of self-blame.
He was always, unable to control himself. Damn it, I almost let her go back to that nightmare!
Nestled in his embrace, Lin Huanyan did not make a sound, and did not continue crying, quietly staring out of the window without saying a word.
When he didn't reply, Gu Yanchen gave a bitter laugh, carrying a bit of coldness.
"Yan Yan, I was wrong."
Nani? What did this man just say!
Lin Huanyan turned his head to look at him in shock. Are you sure you're not hallucinating...
Swallowing his saliva, he pretended not to hear anything and turned his head away, ignoring everything else.
Humph, isn't that what you say... If admitting your wrongs was of any use, why would the police even bother doing so?!
Pouting at the river side of the night, just cried out tired, now want to have a material comfort, for example, want to eat...
"Yan Yan, do you want some ice cream?"
The woman's eyes lit up, but she tried her best to hide it. Gu Yanchen seemed to understand her very well, and he always knew what she was thinking and what she wanted. Mr. Gu, are you sure that it's not me who reincarnated?
"Ugh …" Lin Huanyan curled his lips, rolled his eyes, looked at the man's flattering smile, and pretended to be magnanimous as he said:
"For the sake of ice cream... I won't be serious with you. "
Gu Yanchen laughed, this girl, was truly skilled in acting.
"However, I was just scared. You are not allowed to enter the room tonight! " Lin Huanyan said these words under the guise of being responsible for his wrongdoings with a straight face.
Last night, she had been tormented to the point that her entire body was about to fall apart. She needed time to recuperate. It was said that women were made of water, so they had to take good care of their own body, right?
"Mrs Gu, you openly chased your husband out of your room, and now you are letting your servants see this. What face do I have?"
When the man said that, Lin Huanyan also felt that it made sense. After all, he was still the CEO with outstanding Gu's, shouldn't she not be so willful?
Alright, I won't rush you. But you have to promise not to do anything bad! " The man liked it a lot when he saw the cautious look on Ye Zichen's face. "Uhh …" "Little women are always so innocent, so gullible.
The kind-hearted little sheep could never escape the clutches of the big black wolf.
Within the coffee shop, an elegant piano melody was playing.
"Sorry I'm late!" Lu Dier sat down and took a gulp of cold water.
This was the first time Lin Huanyan had heard a woman say the word "sorry". What was wrong with her? Since when did he begin to transform into a lady?
"It's fine. I just arrived too." As he said that, he took out a gift box and handed it over to Lu Dier.
Lu Dier looked at the carefully dressed gift box, it was obvious how expensive the things that she, Mrs Gu, had given him were.
"What? You even brought me a honeymoon present?" He accepted it with a smile and made fun of it.
"Hmm, didn't I say before that no matter where I go, I have to bring back gifts for them?"
