After getting in the car, he took out his mobile phone and opened the communication software habitually to call Nancy.
The moment I clicked it, my fingers paused.
Since the two broke up unhappy downstairs at her house, they haven't contacted or seen each other for another week.
With one hand clasped on the steering wheel, his eyes fell on Nancy's profile picture, and he tapped his finger to enlarge the portrait.
This photo is of him and Nancy drinking coffee on the second floor of Encounter on a weekend evening half a year ago.
At that time, the company had something to deal with temporarily, and he didn't want to go back to the company, so he took his mobile phone to deal with it.
After Nancy finished writing the manuscript, she saw that he was busy and did not say anything. She placed her chin with one hand and looked at the sunset outside the window.
After he finished his work, he looked up and watched the afterglow of the sunset shining on her face, softening her beautiful profile.
That look was so beautiful.
His fingers uncontrollably activated the camera function on his phone and pressed the camera button.
As if aware of his gaze, Nancy turned her head and looked back.
That scene was frozen in the photo album of his mobile phone.
She asked him, "What are you looking at?"
"nothing."
He subconsciously turned off his phone and put it aside to hide his guilty conscience.
That night, after the two of them had finished eating, he sent Nancy back to his residence and opened the photo again, thinking about his inexplicable behavior at that time, which he had no explanation for.
I didn't think any more and decided to delete it.
Apart from Nuan Nuan, he never kept photos of other women in his photo album.
Pause again before hitting the delete key.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he called up his address book and set the photo as Nancy's profile picture when calling.
After setting, delete.
After that, I didn't take care of it anymore.
Looking at this photo again today, Gu Yanzhi stared blankly at Nancy's eyes when she looked back.
After half a year, that scene became clear in my mind again.
At that moment, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
Is that a beating heart?
How is that possible!
The moment this thought flashed across his mind, Gu Yanzhi almost immediately rejected it.
The person he loves is Nuan Nuan, and it is impossible for him to be attracted to other women.
Press to turn off the phone screen.
Throwing it away as if it would be hot, the phone was thrown aside.
He started the car and drove back to Gu's house instead of looking for Nancy.
…
Forty minutes later, Gu Yanzhi's car parked on the parking lot in front of the Gu family villa.
The servant saw it from a distance and shouted with joy to Mother Gu who was tending flowers and plants in the garden: "Madam, madam, this is the young master's car. The young master is back."
As soon as she heard her son's return, Gu's mother immediately handed the scissors to the servant and went out to greet him.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the garden, he ran into Gu Yanzhi head-on, "Mom."
Gu's mother glanced behind him, but she didn't see the person she wanted to meet. She turned to Gu Yanzhi and hit her son directly with a straight ball, "Why are you the only one back? Where is Xixi?"
"Then shall I go?"
Gu Yanzhi said deliberately.
Obviously he is changing the topic and doesn't want to mention Nancy.
"You try to walk? Do you believe it will break your legs?!"
Gu's mother raised her eyes, and a sharp dagger glanced at Gu Yanzhi's face.
I can stand him.
I am busy with work all day long and don't know how to come back to spend time with them.
Every time Ke Yan comes to stay with them and calls them grandparents, they are happy in their hearts, but it becomes more and more heart-wrenching.
When will she hear her grandson/granddaughter call her grandma?
This and Wen Nuan have been divorced for so long, and there is such a good choice as Nancy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something in Xixi's heart, but he himself is as blind as if he can't see it.
She explicitly hinted several times that this brat would say that they were just friends and ask them not to mess around with each other. By then they wouldn't even be friends anymore, which would really piss her off.
With his progress, when will she be able to hold her own grandson/granddaughter!
"letter!"
Gu Yanzhi responded with a smile and put his arm around Gu's mother's still slender shoulders, "What are you having for dinner?"
“Stop changing the subject!”
Gu's mother didn't want to do this, "I'll tell the kitchen to make some more of Xixi's favorite dishes later. You call her now and pick her up for dinner."
Her son couldn't help himself, so she could only help him in this way.
As a parent, I don't dare to interfere in my children's marriage easily, but I am really anxious.
"Mom, she is busy recently and won't have time to come over."
Gu Yanzhi, who said the word "busy" sourly, didn't realize it, but all he could think about was Nancy admitting that she loved Song Yijun and that she had to do it with him.
However, Gu's mother heard some of the meaning, glanced at Gu Yanzhi, and felt happy in her heart.
Seeing the signs, Gu's mother became more active. She stopped and her eyes fell on his face, "You didn't ask how you knew Xixi didn't have time. Hurry up and call her."
"If you don't hit me, I will hit you!"
Seeing Gu Yanzhi grinding and moaning without moving, Gu's mother raised her hand to beat him.
Only then was "forced" by his mother, Gu Yanzhi "reluctantly" picked up the phone, opened the address book, found Nancy's number, and dialed it.
Unlike before, every time he called or texted Nancy, Nancy would reply instantly.
This time the call was automatically cut off and the other party answered, "Are you busy?"
This statement means something.
I want to find out if Nancy is with Song Yijun.
"Is something wrong?"
Nancy tried hard to calm down her heartbeat, which had lost its frequency due to Gu Yanzhi's phone call. Under the pressure, her voice sounded a bit colder than usual.
The unfamiliar and cold voice on the line made Gu Yanzhi's fingers on the phone tighten significantly, and his tone became colder, "My mother asked me to call you and ask if you have time to come over for dinner?"
Gu’s mother: “……!!!”
I was so angry that I couldn't help but raise my hand and pinch him hard on the arm.
Can this brat know how to speak?
Why are you so arrogant!
It was obvious to me that she would give him the steps, but if he couldn't get down, he would have to jump down himself.
I’m not afraid of falling to “death” either.
"Say sorry to my godmother for me, I have something to do and I can't leave."
Nancy stood outside the coffee shop, looking far away.
The boiling blood cooled down little by little.
When you fall in love with someone, you cannot completely control your emotions.
The only thing she can do is not to lose herself and keep her bottom line.
Gu Yanzhi's face turned completely cold on the other side of the line.
Something happened?
She usually has nothing else to do except work.
Something suddenly happened now, and it was nothing but related to Song Yijun!
Is that Song Yijun so important, so important that she wants to give him all her private time?
Don’t you have time to come home for a meal after a while?!
A nameless anger filled his heart.
Gu Yanzhi opened and closed his thin lips, and when the questioning words came to his lips, thinking of what she said that night about his lack of qualifications and the boundaries between friends, he silently swallowed them all and turned into a "hmm".
After saying that, fearing that he would lose control and say something that would make Nancy unhappy, he cut off the call without waiting for her to speak again.
"Du~du~" sounded in my ears.
Gu Yanzhi's cold voice echoed in her ears. Nancy's heart suddenly tightened, and her drooping eyelids could not hide the sadness and heartache in her eyes.
…
Gu family
After Gu Yanzhi cut off the phone call, his mood adjusted quickly.
He put the phone back in his pocket and looked up again. His eyes were calm. He shrugged and said to Gu's mother, "Mom, you still don't believe me when I say she's fine."
Gu's mother, who had witnessed the whole process, looked at her son who pretended not to care and was speechless.
The authorities are obsessed with it.
The eternal truth!
"Yanzhi..."
Gu's mother wanted to remind Gu Yanzhi.
But he was not in a good mood and interrupted Mother Gu directly this time. At this moment, he really didn't want to mention anything related to Nancy again.
Heart blocked.
"Is dad in the study? I'll go find him."
As he spoke, he stepped inside.
When Gu's mother saw this, she couldn't say anything more.
I can only sigh silently.
…
During dinner, Gu's mother mentioned Nancy twice, but Gu Yanzhi changed the subject.
Gu's father touched Gu's mother to prevent her from continuing, so Gu's mother stopped.
After dinner, the family of three sat in the living room and chatted for a while.
My son is no longer like my daughter when he is older.
Daughters can still talk about sex, and when their sons are older, they can still chat with their fathers about men-to-men topics, but they don’t have much to talk to their mothers except caring.
At eight o'clock, Gu Yanzhi stood up and left.
Gu's mother held his hand. She knew that saying too much would put pressure on her son, but she couldn't help it. "Yanzhi, I don't want to force you, but I only have a son like you."
"Mom has nothing else to wish for in this life. I just worry about you. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you will settle down quickly and be able to have grandchildren in your lifetime."
This has been her wish since her son came of age.
At that time, her son was unreliable and a playboy, so she was anxious.
Later, when she met Wen Nuan, she was relieved, but she didn't expect it to be Yanzhi's calamity. In the end, she ended up getting divorced, and she didn't give birth to a son or a half for the Gu family.
Regarding warmth, right and wrong were all over, and she didn't want to mention it again.
Nancy is a good girl, but she is afraid that if Yanzhi misses the village, she will lose her shop.
It doesn't matter if I can't hold my grandchildren, but my son will die alone.
She really can't die in peace.
Gu's mother did not say these too heavy words, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Yanzhi expressed them.
Gu Yanzhi held Gu's mother's hand and looked at Gu's mother.
Looking at her red eyes and well-maintained face, she cannot stand up to the passage of time and has carved a few more wrinkles on her face.
The hair that was once black now has white hair that cannot be hidden.
As he matures, he also pushes his mother to grow older.
As time passed by, his parents also began to age.
The tip of Gu Yanzhi's nose felt sore and the fundus of his eyes turned red.
She held Gu's mother's hand tightly, and after a while, she uttered a word from her throat in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I understand."
This sentence is said very carefully.
It was Gu Yanzhi's promise to his parents.
Mother Gu suppressed the joy in her heart, patted the back of his hand, sent her son out, watched him get into the car, and warned: "Drive slowly on the road."
Gu Yanzhi responded and the car slowly drove away.
Gu's mother stood there. As soon as Gu Yanzhi's car drove away, she happily turned to look at Gu's father behind her, "Our daughter-in-law's tea is not far away."
As long as the son is willing to take action and Xixi, who has him in his heart, will achieve success, it is not a sure thing.
Father Gu's eyebrows were deep.
Looking at his excited wife, I couldn't bear to pour cold water on her.
Why did he think that this cup of tea for his daughter-in-law might not be Nancy?
