Chapter 368: What a coincidence

Views:

24-hour chain Chinese restaurant. [. !//

There is porridge and soy milk here, and Gu Xuewu has a terrible stomachache. I used to work so hard that I often forgot to eat three meals a day. So I often have stomach pains.

After returning to Beidu, Wang Xiu'e would call to remind him to eat if he had nothing to do. It's been a while without pain. It was past dinner time and there were not many people. The waiter brought the porridge that Gu Xuewu asked for as quickly as possible.

He picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but his stomach throbbed. That kind of discomfort made his eyebrows wrinkle together again.

The physical discomfort made Gu Xuewu's movements a little slow.

"Gu Xuewu?" A voice sounded at this moment. He looked up at the person who came, it was Li Lan. There was a bit of concern between her brows.

"Are you all right? Are you feeling unwell?"

When I came in just now, I saw that his face was not very good. Taking a closer look at this time confirmed her guess even more. Seeing Gu Xuewu's movement of stroking his abdomen with one hand, she had a bit of clarity in her eyes.

"You have an upset stomach?"

"I'm fine." Gu Xuewu suppressed the pain, Gu Xuewu saw that Li Lan had no intention of leaving: "Come here for dinner?"

"Yes." Li Lan took the initiative to sit down opposite him, and glanced at his face: "I've been working overtime and I'm so hungry, I thought there would be porridge here, so I came here."

"Miss, what do you want?" The waiter came over at this moment and asked Li Lan what he wanted. She didn't even look at the menu, and said directly: "Have seafood porridge. Hurry up."

"Okay." The waiter left in response, Gu Xuewu glanced at the restaurant, and after the meal time, most of the seats in the restaurant were empty. His gaze returned to Li Lan's face.

"one person?".

"Yes. Alone." Li Lan was a little helpless, but she didn't miss Gu Xuewu's eyes just now: "What? Do you mind if I sit with you?"

It's not a question of whether you like it or not. It's because he hasn't found out Li Lan's true face, let alone her purpose.

That kind of uncertainty made him not want to get too close to this woman.

But he knew very well that this woman must know Zhou Ying's whereabouts.

"Gu Xuewu, do you want to be so heartless?" Li Lan sighed, with a sad look on her face: "How can you take off my clothes and take advantage of me, why do you have such an expression when you see me now?"

Her voice was not too low. A man and a woman at the next table were chatting. At this time, their eyes were all over, especially the woman, who had a look of contempt on her face.

Gu Xuewu's expression changed, he put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Li Lan: "Is this considered a dog biting Lu Dongbin?"

If it wasn't for him, how would Li Lan regret today? Maybe, he should let her try it.

I knew in my heart that it was absolutely impossible for me to leave Li Lan alone, just because she had the same face as Zhou Ying, or she might be sisters with Zhou Ying. He wouldn't do that, but it didn't mean he would let her say that about himself.

Call her a dog? There was no anger on Li Lan's face. He slightly raised his eyebrows, put his hands on the table, and said with a slightly playful expression, "It doesn't look like a leader to be so narrow-minded."

Gu Xuewu's expression remained unchanged. The discomfort in his stomach made his face a little serious. Lowering his head, he quietly settled the porridge in front of him.

Then stood up and was about to leave. But Li Lan took his hand: "Gu Xuewu, I really can't believe it, you are so unfeeling to me? How could we have been in love before?"

Gu Xuewu watched her pull his hand, leaned slightly closer, and said in a very soft voice, "The person I loved was Zhou Ying, not you. You can't be her. Don't play such tricks in front of me, it's nothing mean."

Li Lan hooked his hands around his neck, with a provocative and teasing expression, and his voice was very soft, and the breath of his lips was in his ear: "Are you so sure? That night, your admirer came after you School, in the dormitory, I gave you my first time. Do you remember?"

Gu Xuewu's body paused for a moment, and Li Lan continued: "Every time, you come to me after the school is gone. Because I don't want to involve you. You are the county magistrate. Even if you are unmarried, it will not affect you well. Our relationship has been maintained... "

"That's enough." Gu Xuewu pulled her hand away, with serious eyes. These things are very private and confidential. He believed that it was absolutely impossible for Zhou Ying to tell anyone.

So, how did Li Lan know about this? Unless, she is really Zhou Ying. Gu Xuewu sat down on the chair opposite her again, and the waiter brought seafood porridge for Li Lan at this time.

She didn't even look at Gu Xuewu, she finished the porridge slowly, gracefully and generously, finally put down the bowl, looked up at Gu Xuewu, with a smile in her eyes.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Where is Zhou Ying?" Gu Xuewu is now very sure of one thing: "What is her relationship with you? Why did you tell you such a private and secret thing?"

"I'm Zhou Ying." Li Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at her hands: "Why don't you believe me? On my birthday, you gave me a necklace. Later, you brought me to Beidu, You said you wanted to marry me."

"I still remember, you..."

"That's enough." Gu Xuewu looked at the person in front of him, his brows were tightly frowned: "Tell me. If you were Zhou Ying, why did you leave four years ago?"

"I… "

"Tell me, why did you leave me?" If Li Lan was Zhou Ying, why did she leave back then? He had clearly decided to marry her. Then what reason is there to let her leave him

"I have reasons." Li Lan bit her lip and looked at Gu Xuewu: "Do you think I want to leave you? If it's not because of me..."

In the next paragraph, she suddenly stopped talking and covered her face and began to cry.

She cried very quietly, suppressed, with a painful voice. But he refused to say the second half.

"What's the reason? What's the difficulty?" Hit Gu Li.

"I can't say, I'm sorry, I can't say." Li Lan sniffed, her expression becoming more and more sad.

She just cries without telling the truth. Gu Xuewu didn't want to stay any longer, the hot porridge just cooked warmed his stomach, and he felt much more comfortable now. He stood up again and looked at Li Lan.

"When will you tell me your difficulties, and when will I believe that you are Zhou Ying?"

Putting this sentence aside, regardless of Li Lan's reaction, she just checked out and left. Li Lan watched his figure leave the Chinese restaurant. Wiping the tears off his face, he raised his head and looked out the window.

Gu Xuewu got into the car and left. Don't wait for her either. With a chuckle, she also stood up and left, not surprised at all when the waiter told her that the bill had been settled.

This is quite like Gu Xuewu's style.

Gu Xuewu, Gu Xuewu, I know exactly what you want to know. I just won't tell you. I'm going to make you feel uncomfortable in guessing, and in the future, I'll make you feel even more uncomfortable.

We'll see...

Zheng Qimei watched Tang Yanan open the shutter, then glanced at her, turned and left. My heart is full of bitterness, but I don't know what to say.

It has been a week since he promised himself to stay.

This week, he wasn't in the store every day. In the morning, he would accompany himself to open the store, and then leave. She asked him where he was going, but he refused to tell.

Before, she had reason to limit his behavior, saying that he was her bodyguard. Without her, he has no money and no way to survive.

But now, it doesn't work. Because he is not only rich, but very rich. He could have done better without himself. She suddenly felt that she had no confidence to ask him.

Fortunately, he would leave during the day, but would show up on time at night. Close the shop for her and go home with her.

However, their relationship has not improved. He didn't sleep in the same room with himself. As soon as he got home, after taking a bath, he went to the study to rest.

Obviously the study room only had a tiny sofa bed, which couldn't even fully accommodate his body. But he is still so stubborn.

Before, he was full of confidence, thinking that Tang Yanan would definitely think of Zheng Qimei, who came to him, but now he can no longer be so confident. Looking at the situation in front of her, she will give birth in less than a month. When she gives birth to the child, will it be the time when Tang Yanan leaves

With a tangled expression, she walked into the store with heavy steps. The clerk hadn't come yet. Finish the work with a heavy stomach, and then sit on the hair dye in the store in a daze.

What is she going to do

The wind chime rang, and the glass door was pushed open. She looked up and thought it was Tang Yanan who had left and returned, but it was Gu Xuewu who came in.

"Mayor Gu?" Zheng Qimei stood up, looking at him a little puzzled. Although she doesn't care much about time and events, she also knows that Gu Xuewu seems to have been transferred from City C some time ago, and the new mayor has been here for a while. Then why did he come to City C again

"Yeah." Gu Xuewu nodded, looked around the store, but didn't see Tang Yanan, his brows furrowed: "Where is Tang Yanan?"

"You..." Zheng Qimei froze for a moment, with a somewhat shocked expression: "Are you looking for Yanan?"

"He's not in now?"

"He went out." Zheng Qimei was very surprised that Gu Xuewu would know Tang Yanan

"Where did you go? Will you be back soon?"

"I don't know." Zheng Qimei shook her head, and she didn't know what Tang Yanan was busy with every day: "You, why don't you sit down for a while, and I'll call him?"

"Telephone?" Gu Xuewu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'm sorry."

"No trouble." It was too unexpected, it really surprised her. Zheng Qimei took out her mobile phone and dialed the number. From the first day when Tang Yanan disappeared, she bought him a mobile phone and asked him to take it with him at all times.

Although she didn't call often, at least she could reach him.

"Hello." The phone connected. On the other end of the phone was Tang Yanan's usual faint voice: "What's the matter?"

"Someone is looking for you." Zheng Qimei looked at Gu Xuewu, the surprise in her eyes never retreating: "Hurry up and come back to the store."

"Who is looking for me?" Tang Yanan wanted to ask, but then remembered that only Xuanyuan knew that he was in Zheng Qimei's shop. Nodding to the phone: "Okay, I'll be right back."
