Gu Jingchen didn't say anything, so Su An had no choice but to boldly take another step forward and ask softly again, "Mr. Gu...?"
Gu Jingchen suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes finally focused on a face that was completely different from the one in his memory, and then he suddenly thought of running into Tang Ze and Qin Mengmeng when he went out.
"I heard that you fell into the swimming pool today and were injured?"
He asked suddenly.
Su An didn't expect that he would know this. She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I accidentally fell down."
She simply explained, neither complaining nor asking how Gu Jingchen knew.
Gu Jingchen nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at her waist.
Qin Mengmeng said...
Xia Xiaomo scratched her dress when she fell and borrowed Tang Ze's coat.
But...she still didn't see anything.
Was the small shadow he saw that night really just his illusion?
Or is Xia Xiaomo trying to cover it up?
Gu Jingchen was thinking——
"Mr. Gu, your stomach..."
Su An's voice suddenly came to mind, interrupting Gu Jingchen's thoughts, and then paused for another two seconds before continuing, "You haven't cultivated yourself well before, and you drank so much tonight..."
Her tone was full of concern.
Gu Jingchen subconsciously wanted to speak and let her go, but when the words came to his lips, his mind suddenly changed.
"I know my body well."
He replied lightly, and as he spoke, he actually picked up a glass next to him, then filled the half-full glass of wine and placed it opposite him!
Su An was startled and looked at her with some confusion.
Then he saw Gu Jingchen picking up his own wine glass, shaking it gently, and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to work today. If you can drink, you can have two drinks with me."
drink wine?
Su An was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Jingchen would extend an invitation to her.
Naturally, she couldn't miss such an opportunity!
"good."
Su An agreed without hesitation and walked over directly.
Then he sat across from Gu Jingchen, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Can't drink?"
Gu Jingchen saw her caution and asked.
"Well, my ability to drink is average."
Su An nodded.
There was nothing she could do about her drinking problem.
She was not good at drinking. She would feel dizzy if she drank too much. In the past two years, she had been in bad health, so she couldn't drink too much.
Gu Jingchen withdrew his gaze and said nothing, but he couldn't help but think of Su An again in his heart.
An An is not very good at drinking...
Realizing that he was comparing the two people again, Gu Jingchen suddenly woke up and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
This feeling of eagerness to find out a person's identity was almost driving him crazy.
Not only reality, but also his dreams became increasingly uncontrollable.
In the dream, Xia Xiaomo and An An's figures always overlap together, as if they are one person.
But in reality, Xia Xiaomo in front of her was confusing.
How he wished she was An An.
But what if she isn't?
At least this kind of thinking can give him a glimmer of hope, but once he is really sure that she has nothing to do with An An, where should he look for it?
He has been searching for almost a year and has not found any trace of An An...
Gu Jingchen's heart sank to the bottom with the wine in his mouth.
But when he was about to be submerged, he struggled out again.
What is he thinking?
You must have drunk too much...to have such ridiculous thoughts.
No matter where An An is, he will definitely find her!
Gu Jingchen thought about it, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then it was time to pour the second cup.
"Mr. Gu."
Seeing him drinking so desperately, Su An hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
However, Gu Jingchen directly helped his hand away and wanted to continue pouring wine.
The next second——
"Are you...have something on your mind?"
A cautious question fell into Gu Jingchen's ears.
The voice was soft and soft, which gave him the illusion that the person sitting opposite him was Su An.
He paused and raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, his sharp eyes mixed with inquiry.
For a long time——
"You can see it."
Gu Jingchen replied in a low voice.
He didn't know why he said that.
But at that moment, I suddenly felt like someone had uncovered a corner of my well-hidden thoughts.
Su An said nothing, stared at the wine glass in front of her, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She made a risky move.
After this period of contact, she has discovered that Gu Jingchen is not as easy to contact as she imagined.
There aren't even any women around him.
In the past, I had a nightmare watching how he doted on Ye Kexin, as if I was dreaming.
If she wants to achieve her goal, she must either use force or find opportunities.
The former is definitely not possible.
As for the latter...
Thinking of the last failure, Su An couldn't help but sigh.
But simply, Gu Jingchen's goodwill and trust in her were accumulating little by little.
She was the first to reject the method of "promoting love over time".
But... the current Gu Jingchen made her unable to help but have such thoughts.
She didn't know what aroused his suspicion.
However, what if it is the parts of her that are similar to her former self that he cannot see through, that are subtly attracting him bit by bit?
That's why she had the courage to talk to him and touch the bottom line in his heart little by little.
For the sake of her children, she is willing to take this risk!
After everything is done, the worst thing is to use the identity of "Xia Xiaomo" to escape from him again!
As long as you leave, this identity can be discarded!
Su An made up her mind and was silent for another two seconds before continuing, "You look like...sad, like..."
She stopped appropriately and did not continue.
But both of them knew very well that she was referring to the night when Gu Jingchen was drunk.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Gu Jingchen couldn't help but look at Su An again.
The familiar yet strange feeling in my heart never goes away.
Obviously the person in front of me is not An An...
But he didn't know why, just sitting here, her quiet temperament could make him feel at peace for a moment.
"I……"
He suddenly spoke, then stopped again. His mind went blank for a moment, not knowing what to say.
But he continued very fluently, "I've been dreaming about my wife a lot lately."
Su An's hand holding the wine glass tightened suddenly, and an unnatural look flashed across her face.
Why did Gu Jingchen suddenly say this to her?
Didn't his driver say that this was a topic that no one could touch?
Or is the identity of "Xia Xiaomo" enough for him to trust?
But he clearly tested her with mangoes that she was allergic to just today...
Su An was cautious and said nothing.
Gu Jingchen also stopped.
He didn't know why he blurted out Su An's matter so easily.
Except for Ye Shaobai, he never mentioned the sadness and regret during this period to anyone.
but……
When he said it to Xia Xiaomo, he seemed to have no resistance in his heart.
Maybe it was because of her concern just now.
Or maybe it's because...
At least at this moment, he didn't want to worry about who she was anymore.
She has a calming temperament about her, just like when An An was by her side in the past, people can unknowingly let go of their guard.
If she were An An... then after hearing his regret and sadness, would she give him a chance to start over?
Gu Jingchen raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, his eyes becoming a little blurry again.
But his mind is clear.
"I...I did a lot of wrong things in the past, and I'm very sorry for her..."
He looked at the blurry figure sitting opposite, and his mind was full of Su An's appearance.
Su An pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
There are wrong things in this world that cannot be treated as if they didn’t happen just by saying sorry...
She no longer wanted to worry about that.
"Since it's a thing of the past, then... why don't you let it go?"
Su An took another sip of wine.
"lay down?"
Gu Jingchen frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of these two words.
Then he shook his head.
"I am the one who did the wrong thing... If I don't know whether she is doing well now, how can I let it go with peace of mind..."
His tone was heavy, and every word hit Su Anxin heavily.
Su An's eyes flickered for a moment, and her heart suddenly tightened.
OK?
These three words have no meaning to her.
She just wants her child to live in peace...
The air became quiet again.
Su An's rationality kept reminding her that she should say some words of comfort at this moment.
However, as one of the former parties, she could not speak out.
Those were the real hurts she had suffered.
The only thing that can be said is to advise Gu Jingchen to let go of the past and stop persistently looking for her...
Su An's silence made Gu Jingchen wake up from his moment of indulging emotions.
Along with it came the entanglement and annoyance in my heart.
Why did he say what he just said?
Obviously, those are all the emotions he has suppressed in his heart, and he will never reveal them to others easily...
Gu Jingchen couldn't help but frown, and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite.
Su An was extremely sensitive to his emotions. Almost as soon as he saw the sharpness in Gu Jingchen's eyes, he immediately said, "Mr. Gu, after tonight, I will forget everything about what I just said and won't tell anyone.
"
Gu Jingchen paused for a moment and said nothing. He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.
Don't worry, he already has a rough understanding of the character of the person in front of him and won't talk nonsense.
disappointment……
It's because she didn't show any strange reaction because of those two sentences just now.
This tangled emotion almost drove Gu Jingchen crazy.
He just wants to find An An!
Then do everything you can to make it up to her!
That's all...
For a long time——
Gu Jingchen poured himself another glass of wine silently, and then waved his hand to Su An.
"You go back and don't worry about me."
He dropped the eight words calmly, but his tone left no room for doubt.
After hearing this, Su An hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, put down the wine glass and stood up.
"Okay, then I won't disturb Mr. Gu. You... better drink less."
After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation, but her expression became complicated the moment she turned around.
tonight……
Did she get closer to Gu Jingchen again?
Even now, she still feels a little unsure about how close he is to her...
Su An did not look back and disappeared from Gu Jingchen's sight little by little.
Gu Jingchen finally withdrew his gaze and continued to drink wine alone, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but the bottle of wine was almost empty. He then got up and walked towards the hotel, intending to go back and rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hall, he heard the voices of several women in front of him.
"Nana, did you really see it?"
The voice of one of the women fell into Gu Jingchen's ears with some excitement.
Gu Jingchen stopped, not wanting them to greet each other, and planned to wait until they left before going over.
Then another voice was heard——
"Of course I saw it, although... I didn't see it too clearly, but I'm sure she must have a tattoo on her body!"
Tattoo?
When Gu Jingchen heard these two words, his face suddenly sank, and he immediately continued listening attentively.
Then I heard someone say again, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... I really can't tell. Assistant Xia is usually strict, but he is quite rebellious behind his back..."
"Who says it's not the case? What kind of girl from a good family would have something like that tattooed on her body?"
Gu Jingchen froze on the spot, no longer caring about what they were talking about, and there were only two words left in his mind.
Assistant Xia.
Tattoo.
These two keywords were directly imprinted on his mind, which made his brain, which was a little drunk, sober up in an instant.
Xia Xiaomo has a tattoo!
Someone saw it!
That means that he was not wrong at all that day!
And it’s in such a special position on the back...
She must be An An!
Just as Gu Jingchen was thinking about it, he heard a few people chattering that the elevator was coming and seemed to be going in.
His nerves suddenly tightened and he rushed out immediately!
"Wait a moment!"
Gu Jingchen frowned and strode towards the elevator.
Lin Na and others were stunned for a moment, and then they were startled when they saw his menacing appearance.
"Gu...Hello, Mr. Gu..."
Several people hurriedly said hello.
Gu Jingchen had no time to respond. His eyes swept over the people in front of him and then looked at Lin Na.
Then he asked straight to the point, "You just said that Xia Xiaomo has a tattoo on her body? Did you see it?"
Lin Na was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly felt a little confused.
Mr. Gu asked politely what he was doing...
Could it be that? He also felt that those with tattoos were not serious women, so he planned to fire Xia Xiaomo directly!
Thinking about it, Lin Na's eyes suddenly lit up and she said hurriedly, "Mr. Gu, Assistant Xia accidentally fell into the swimming pool today and scratched her clothes. At that time, I was next to her, and I vaguely seemed to see something on her lower back.
I have a tattoo..."
"What kind of tattoo!"
Gu Jingchen didn't wait for her to finish speaking before continuing to ask, looking even more nervous than before.
Lin Na was immediately overjoyed when she saw this.
Mr. Gu cares so much about this matter. It seems that Xia Xiaomo...has stepped on Mr. Gu's taboo!
