Chapter 698 Gu Jingchen Mu Xue
Chapter 698 Gu Jingchen Mu Xue
In the cozy restaurant, the light is warm yellow and soft, giving the space a warm filter.
Gu Jingchen sat at the dining table, his slender fingers tightly wrapped around Mu Xue's hand, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
A happy smile bloomed on his face, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and his eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.
He turned his head and said to Gu Qianfan beside him: "Dad, you are absolutely right, Mingxue is back with me. I can't express in words the joy of regaining her.
But there is still a knot in my heart that I can't untie. What happened during the time when Mingxue was away? "
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of doubt and deep worry. His slightly furrowed brows showed that he was obviously still brooding over Mu Xue's previous departure and couldn't forget it.
Hearing Gu Jingchen's question, Zhen Meili's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand.
However, she reacted very quickly, and a kind smile instantly appeared on her face. She hurriedly explained to Gu Jingchen: "Son, actually, your girlfriend has been hiding from you in her heart because of some misunderstandings before, and she dared not face you directly.
But later you fell ill and your condition was critical. We really had no other options, so we brought your girlfriend back.
Now that everyone is back, stop having these random thoughts!"
While she was speaking, a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her composure, skillfully repelling Gu Jingchen's questions.
Zhen Meili's words undoubtedly gave Mu Xue a way out.
Mu Xue understood what he meant, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, as bright and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
She gently picked up a piece of tender beef and slowly put it into Gu Jingchen's bowl, her voice gentle and soft: "Jingchen, Mom is right, don't think too much, try this beef slice, I just tasted it, this beef is so delicious!"
The voice was gentle and pleasant, as if she was really the woman that Gu Jingchen loved deeply. Her every move was full of intimacy and care.
Gu Jingchen patted Mu Xue's hand gently, his face full of doting, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile: "My girlfriend must be right, I really shouldn't think about those unhappy things anymore, come, let me taste this meat."
As he spoke, he picked up the beef and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. A satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be telling of the deliciousness of the beef.
"That's right! Come on, everyone, stop sitting there and eat your food!"
Gu Qianfan greeted everyone with a smile, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere at the dinner table.
His voice was bright and enthusiastic, echoing in the restaurant.
Yun Jiu and Wei Xingyi sat aside, remaining silent the entire time, just picking up food and eating silently.
Their eyes occasionally lingered on Gu Jingchen and Mu Xue, then quickly looked away.
At the dinner table, the interaction between Gu Jingchen and Mu Xue was very harmonious.
Mu Xue seemed tireless and kept picking up food for Gu Jingchen. Every time she did so, she had a gentle smile on her face. Gu Jingchen would sometimes also pick up food for Mu Xue considerately. The two of them interacted with each other, and they really looked like a loving couple, sweet and warm.
Seeing Gu Jingchen so happy, Wei Xingyi gradually felt relieved.
At first, he did feel that this was not fair to Gong Mingxue. After all, impersonation always made people feel that something was wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, isn’t it a good thing that Gu Jingchen was able to get over the sadness of the past, regain his spirit and face life positively?
Although Wei Xingyi comforted himself in this way in his heart, he still felt a little heavy. After all, this secret was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making him feel a little breathless.
-
The night flows slowly like thick ink, covering the entire world.
After everyone left, Gu Jingchen seemed like a different person, and he became more energetic.
He walked into the bathroom and took a nice bath. The warm water washed over his body, washing away the day's fatigue.
Then, he picked up the razor and carefully shaved off the stubble on his face. His fresh and handsome face was reflected in the mirror, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead, adding a bit of casualness and unruliness.
At this moment, he seemed to have really emerged as a butterfly from his cocoon, completely getting rid of the haze of the past.
Mu Xue was slightly stunned when she saw Gu Jingchen's appearance.
Her eyes fell on Gu Jingchen's wet hair, then followed the smooth lines of his neck to look at the thin pajamas he was wearing. The skin that was faintly visible under the pajamas made her heart beat suddenly, and she couldn't help swallowing.
A blush appeared on her face, and she praised sincerely: "Jingchen, you are so handsome, how can someone be so good-looking, it's really too handsome!"
The tone was full of wonder and admiration.
Gu Jingchen looked at Mu Xue with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
He took the towel and wiped his head casually, then slowly sat down on the chair and suddenly asked: "Mingxue, I remember that I clearly saw you die at that time, but why did you come back to life?" His voice was low and calm, but in this quiet room, it was like a thunder, striking Mu Xue directly.
When Mu Xue heard Gu Jingchen's words, her heart skipped a beat, as if a little deer was running around in panic. She felt a little guilty, and her eyes dodged unconsciously.
But she still pretended to be calm, forced a smile and said: "Jingchen, why are you asking this question again? I am Mingxue. Maybe you really saw me die at that time, but now I really appear in front of you. There is nothing to be confused about.
Now that I'm back, don't worry too much about why I'm alive again, okay?" She said, trying to divert Gu Jingchen's attention with a coquettish tone.
Gu Jingchen lowered his head, still slowly wiping his hair with a towel, and said in a light tone: "I just want to know the reason. After all, the way you look now sometimes really makes me feel like a fake."
His voice was very soft, but it was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Mu Xue's heart.
"!!!"
Mu Xue's heart suddenly shook, as if someone had seen through her deepest secret.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.
But soon, she forced herself to calm down.
She thought that Gu Jingchen didn't recognize who she was, and secretly thought that Gu Jingchen was probably just testing her and he might not be able to tell the truth from the false.
