Chapter 291： Falling in love before it even started

"Uh? Why are you here?" Gu Ruyun just turned his head and saw Xiao Zhan and Lao Zhuang.

At this time, both of them were wearing decent suits, which looked completely different from their usual casual and comfortable home outfits.

But what surprised Gu Ruyun was why Xiao Zhan suddenly appeared at Xu Rantong's birthday party? You know, on weekdays, Xiao Zhan just pushes his wheelchair to get some air in the villa area. Usually, he basically stays in his own home.

Even the old man and old lady who lived next door couldn't change Xiao Zhan's habits.

During the time that Gu Ruyun lived in the Xiao family, he saw that many people sent invitations, but he never saw Xiao Zhan answering these people's invitations to attend the banquet at their mansion.

"Why didn't you tell me about your coming two days ago?" Gu Ruyun was curious in his heart, and his face naturally showed it.

"We just wanted to give you a surprise... By the way, let me tell you today—Happy Birthday!" From the pocket of his suit, he took out a small box wrapped in black velvet and handed it to Gu Ruyun, Xiao Zhan ticked it. The corners of his lips, his usually cold and serious eyes were filled with a smile.

"Didn't you already give me gifts before? Isn't it too exaggerated to come here specially? You can say happy birthday at home, anyway, I'll go back tomorrow, so there's no need to rush it." Knowing the personalities of Xiao Zhan and the others, Gu Ruyun didn't make any excuses and took the small box that was the size of a palm in Xiao Zhan's hand with a smile.

"How can the meaning of what I say today and the meaning of what I say tomorrow be the same? This sentence has to be said today to be sincere." Lao Zhuang stood behind Xiao Zhan, leaning on his wheelchair and said with a smile, "Miss Gu helped us so much before. We are very busy, and we still have this sincerity.”

Gu Ruyun was amused by Lao Zhuang's half-joking, half-prudent words. She has grown so big, and no one has ever said such a thing to her.

In the last life in the empire, Gu Ruyun was the chief military doctor of the first army of the empire. Naturally, someone would remember her birthday every year. Her assistant and aide-de-camp would celebrate her birthday every year, but she was an orphan in her previous life and in this life, so she really didn't have one. Someone told her something similar to what Lao Zhuang said.

The assistants and adjutants would only respect her as if she were a senior officer. Even if they said the words "Happy Birthday", their faces were solemn as if they were on the battlefield. Gu Ruyun now thinks about their expressions at that time. Also full of aftertastes.

It's a pity that I will never be able to meet them again in my life.

What everyone has crossed is not only the torrent of time, but also the long river of space.

Gu Ruyun thought about the past before he spoke, but Sheng Menghui couldn't sit still next to him. Then he looked at Xiao Zhan, and then at Gu Ruyun, slowly holding back what he wanted to say, but in the end, he couldn't help but opened his mouth and said what he wanted to say.

"You guys, what were you talking about just now...? Are Miss Gu and this gentleman a couple? Or husband and wife? I see that Miss Gu is so young, she shouldn't be married yet."

Sheng Menghui is really tangled, he just fell in love with a woman, it has not been an hour, he feels as if he is about to lose his love!
