Chapter 70 It turns out that he regarded this marriage as a transaction
The next day, Gu Nian did not leave the company after get off work, but sat in his seat as if frustrated.
Yes, she regretted it.
Why can't you think about agreeing to meet Si Xue?
What did you say after meeting?
Apologize to Si Xue and say that she shouldn't marry Lu Shiqian? But Gu Nian doesn't think she is at fault. Lu Shiqian was the one who wanted to marry her in the first place.
So let Si Xue apologize and admit that she is now the third party intervening between him and Lu Shiqian? But Si Xue is the Bai Yueguang that Lu Shiqian longs for, isn't it?
Gu Nian sighed heavily, took her bag and left the company resignedly.
The restaurant where they arranged to meet was not far from her company. When she arrived, Si Xue and Lu Shiqian were already waiting for her.
The two of them were sitting side by side and seemed to be talking about something. They were handsome men and beautiful women, very eye-catching.
After Gu Nian sat down, Si Xue glanced at her lightly. That look...she couldn't tell, it wasn't resentment, nor was it as familiar as before, but it was a little more intriguing now?
Gu Nian squeezed out a smile and spoke out first: "...Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Her eyes quickly glanced at Lu Shiqian opposite, then lowered her head to arrange the tableware in front of her.
"It didn't take long."
Si Xue smiled easily and said, "Shi Qian went to pick me up. There was a traffic jam on the way here, so we took a detour."
"Oh...that's it."
It turned out that he went specifically to pick up Si Xue.
Gu Nian recalled it in his mind, and it seemed that Lu Shiqian had never taken a long way to pick him up because of something.
She thought that he would care to some extent if this marriage was about to end, but with such a comparison at this moment, she overestimated her position in his heart.
"We've ordered food, let's see if there's anything you want to eat."
Si Xue said and was about to ring the service bell. Gu Nian quickly shook her head and held out her hand to block her, "No, I'm not picky about food. Just order."
Si Xue just ate the food she ordered last time and relapsed. If something like that happens again today, she really can't explain it.
"Okay then." Si Xue retracted her hand and stopped beating around the bush now. She glanced lovingly at the man next to her, then turned to Gu Nian and said softly: "I know everything about you.
Qian also explained to me, Gu Nian, I don’t blame you... There is no affection between you. In fact, in my opinion, it is a fake marriage... In the past few years, Qian Qian has taken care of you, which can be regarded as reassuring the late Professor Gu.
."
Gu Nian was confused and looked across Lu Shiqian's face, only to see the man's thin lips pursed slightly.
She lifted the lemonade on the table and took a sip, then smiled and said, "Well, I'm very grateful to Dr. Lu for taking care of me. It's almost over now."
Lu Shiqian looked at the quiet eyebrows of the woman sitting across from him without saying a word.
Si Xue noticed that Gu Nian drank half of the water in her cup, so she took the initiative to fill it up for her, and then said, "Uncle Lu, I'm sorry to bother you now. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment. Lu Shiqian must have told Si Xue about Lu's father's situation.
"You and Shi Qian didn't complete the divorce procedures yesterday. Now you are temporarily living together, just to persuade your uncle to receive treatment... Don't worry, I won't think too much about it."
Si Xue looked like he understood her very well, and there was an inexplicable sense of gratitude in his words: "I'm just sorry to trouble you. The past few years are almost over, and now I have to wait for a while."
Hearing this, Gu Nian licked the corner of his mouth and wanted to laugh.
She never expected that Si Xue would say these words, with a royal tone between the lines, and completely describe this marriage as a deal.
But if it was really a deal, then why didn't she get any benefits at all?
I never thought that Si Xue's next words would really almost choke Gu Nian to death!
"Your senior boyfriend probably doesn't know about this yet. Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense... Your relationship is so good. After you divorce Shi Qian, you can be with him without any worries.
, right Nian Nian?”
Senior boyfriend? Together?
Gu Nian never knew that Si Xue thought so. She wanted to explain, but she noticed Lu Shiqian's darkened eyes. She didn't understand what was wrong with him. Was he unhappy?
Was it Si Xue's words that made him unhappy, or was it the behavior she wanted to explain that made him unhappy?
Finally, the words that were stuck in my throat to explain were swallowed back alive.
A smile appeared on Gu Nian's lips, "Well, yes..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter served the food. Gu Nian didn't look at the two of them anymore and ate seriously, but he didn't notice her perfunctory admission at the end, which successfully made Lu Shiqian lose his appetite and put him in an extremely bad mood!
Si Xue noticed something strange about the man. She clenched her hands hanging by her side. She didn't want Lu Shiqian's attention to be on Gu Nian. She thought of something, pretended to be helpless and shook her head, saying: "Shi Qian, actually I have something else.
I have something to tell you..."
"Um?"
"I probably won't go to work in the hospital tomorrow."
Lu Shiqian noticed Si Xue's slightly lonely expression and frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
"My stomach...has something wrong again. I think I need to re-examine it. The treatment period is not short. I'm afraid it will affect my work."
"Is it serious?" There was a trace of worry in Lu Shiqian's eyes, and the thoughts sitting across from him seemed unheard, but the hands holding the tableware continued to tighten.
She could feel it without raising her head. The atmosphere between the two of them was so warm at this moment. Gu Nian suddenly felt that the food on the plate was tasteless.
"We don't know what the situation is yet. We'll wait for the re-examination results for details." Si Xue gently held the man's arm and smiled: "It shouldn't be serious. Don't you think I'm fine now?"
Hearing this, Gu Nian took a deep breath and felt that the food seemed to be in her heart, unable to move up or down, which was extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, her cell phone rang. She was relieved to see the caller and answered the call immediately as if she had seen a savior.
"elder brother……"
On the phone, Huo Huaijin's deep and pleasant voice came——
"Nian Nian, where are you? I want to take you to a place."
The surrounding atmosphere was very quiet, and Lu Shiqian heard Huo Huaijin's words clearly.
He stared at Gu Nian's secretly happy expression, and his thin lips pursed unconsciously, condensing a bit of coldness...
