When Gu Lan saw her mother chasing her out, she replied, "Mom, I'm going to pick up the car. You wait at home. When I drive back, I'll take you and my dad for a ride."
Gu Lan got into a taxi.
Although Mrs. Gu was old, her eyesight and ears were bright. When Gu Lan opened the door, she seemed to see a man sitting in the back seat of the taxi. His profile looked a bit like her second son.
Before Mrs. Gu could take a closer look, the car door had already been closed.
The car drives away.
When the two arrived at the store, the staff received them warmly.
"Ms. Gu, your car purchase application has been approved. Come and take a look. The car is here. If there are no problems, you can go through the procedures."
"No problem, let's do it."
Gu Lan had already checked out the car last time and was here to go through the formalities today.
She took the bank coupon and went to the credit union with Gu Zhengan to withdraw money.
Then, the staff led her to go through the complicated procedures. After everything was completed, it was already afternoon.
Finally I can pick up the car.
Gu Zhengan knew that Gu Lan drove a car abroad, so he said, "Xiao Lan, just drive."
"Okay, second brother, help me keep an eye on it. I'm still not familiar with this section of the road."
Gu Lan got directly into the driver's seat.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Gu Zhengan sat in the passenger seat and began to act as a guide for Gu Lan.
"If you have driven before, don't be nervous. Slow down on unfamiliar road sections."
"Okay, I'll take you for a ride."
Gu Lan started the car skillfully and drove on the road happily.
Gu Zhengan was sitting in the passenger seat, staring at her focused profile unconsciously.
I was a little distracted for a moment.
When Gu Lan first learned to ride a bicycle when she was a child, he was also like this and stayed with her at ease.
She would sit in the back seat every time to prevent her from bumping into the bicycle alone.
The little girl wearing braids and riding a bicycle suddenly became middle-aged.
They are no longer young.
Fortunately, he still has the opportunity to stay with her like this.
Even as the second brother.
This is enough for him.
He didn't dare to ask for anything more.
Gu Zhengan's gaze was too hot. Gu Lan felt something and glanced sideways at him.
There were too many emotions in Gu Zhengan's eyes, and his gaze was too deep, as if it had the magic power to suck people in.
Gu Lan's eyes met his, and her heart skipped a beat. She was so greedy for this feeling that she forgot to look away for a moment.
Gu Zhengan did not dodge, their eyes met like this...
"careful."
Suddenly, Gu Zhengan saw a pedestrian crossing the road in the middle of the road. He was so frightened that he quickly reached out to hold the steering wheel and turned.
Fortunately there were few cars and people on the road, so there was no accident.
After giving way to the pedestrians, Gu Zhengan realized that his hand was directly in Gu Lan's.
The movement he made just now when he leaned over was a bit too big, and he almost held her in his arms.
His heart was beating fast and he hurriedly retracted his hand.
Perhaps he was afraid that his unbearable thoughts would be known to Gu Lan, so he apologized to her guiltily and explained the situation, "Sorry, I was a little anxious just now."
Gu Lan slowed down the car, glanced at him, and said, "Second brother, why are you trying to avoid getting along with me like this?"
Gu Zhengan's eyes averted, he didn't dare to look at her, and he didn't know how to answer her question.
To avoid suspicion?
If it were his biological sister, and something like this happened, he would probably just scold her for not paying attention while driving, and shake her hand, but he wouldn't think anything of it.
Because my heart is open and it’s all family love.
When he apologized, it just showed that he had something wrong in his heart.
Gu Lan's heart was very complicated at this time. She didn't know how she felt. She only felt that she was very unhappy with Gu Zhengan's behavior.
She simply parked the car on the side of the road.
Then, she looked at him seriously and asked, "How do you define my identity in your heart?"
"Aren't you my sister?" Gu Zhengan was afraid that she would see his emotions, so he looked out the window.
When he said this, he felt so bitter inside that his heart was bleeding.
Gu Lan smiled bitterly, "If you treat me as my sister, there is no need to avoid suspicion."
"Of course I treat you as my sister."
Gu Lan looked at him and asked in a serious tone, "Second brother, the reason why Sun Wanru targeted me back then was because she thought you liked me, so that's why she did that, right?"
When Gu Zhengan heard her words, his eyes trembled fiercely.
My heart skipped a beat.
He still didn't dare to look at her eyes, "Xiaolan, you are my sister."
Gu Lan didn't give him a chance to dodge at all. She turned sideways, looked straight at him, and asked again, "If you treat me as your sister, why would Sun Wanru say that? Why would she target me everywhere?"
Gu Zhengan lowered his eyes and said, "She misunderstood."
"Really?" Gu Lan mustered up her courage, looked at him, and finally asked what she had hidden in her heart for so many years.
"Gu Zheng'an, I'll give you a chance. Tell me what's going on in your heart? Have you been happy these years? Do you have any regrets?"
She waited for another answer.
He was married before, so she didn't dare to come back.
I don't want to break everyone's peaceful life.
But now that he was freed from the marriage that bound him, she wanted to fight for it once.
Fight for yourself once.
If he nodded and admitted, she would be willing to face it with him even if he was an enemy of the world.
Otherwise, she really feels that she has been too wronged in her life.
"Xiaolan, we are not young anymore. Don't ask questions like this again. I will always treat you as a relative."
Gu Zheng'an's words made Gu Lan's heart seem to fall into the abyss again.
More than 20 years ago, she had the same expectations she has today.
Finally, before she could confide her feelings to him, Sun Wanru's mother took Sun Wanru to her door and said that Gu Zhengan had sex after drinking and slept with her daughter. If he was not responsible, she would go to the police and report him.
From that day on, her life seemed to fall into an abyss.
After so many years, she finally worked hard to climb out of the abyss, but when she saw him, she fell uncontrollably.
Especially just now, he was so nervous about her, and she seemed to have returned to her middle school days.
I remember when my second brother helped her learn to ride a bicycle. After learning, he would not let her ride alone. He had to sit behind him every time.
So just now, with her heart throbbing, she mustered up the courage to say those words.
But Gu Zhengan's escape and rejection pushed her into the abyss again.
"Get out of the car." Gu Lan suddenly said calmly, her face turned ashen.
Gu Zhengan saw Gu Lan's pale face and looked anxious, wanting to explain something, "Xiao Lan..."
"Get off the car." Gu Lan yelled at him.
This happened because the car stopped, and there were a few people watching the luxury cars surrounding the car. The car window glass could clearly see inside.
"Get out of the car, I don't want to see you."
The people outside watching the luxury car saw the two people inside with unkind expressions and thought they were talking about them.
Gu Zhengan was finally driven out of the car. Gu Lan stepped on the accelerator and the car roared away.
