me Zihuà, I'm the Chinese person here, and also the only one on this street who speaks Mandarin." 。"Zi Hua said, implying something." 。That is to say, if Cheng Ruor'er refuses him, then she would find...As he spoke, Gu Chi's wheelchair, truly under his control, slowly glided across the dance floor to the rhythm of the music.
And Su Keixin, nestled entirely in his arms, rode with him through the dazzling lights, past awestruck onlookers.
At this moment, Su Keixin was completely dumbfounded.
She looked at Gu Chi's handsome face before her, every line on his face was perfect, not a flaw could be picked out. The eyebrows and eyes that usually seemed too cold and aloof were now softened, tinged with a smile, making his face shine even more brilliantly, like a diamond.
Such a handsome man……
It was actually her husband...
Gu Chi's wheelchair slowly rolled, and the people around him were dumbfounded. Even Lin Xiaoru, who was originally in the middle of the dance floor enjoying everyone's attention, stopped at this moment.
"Dancing in a wheelchair" she exclaimed, but soon, a hint of envy and sarcasm flashed in her eyes. "Disabled people are disabled people. It's truly pathetic,"
Lin Xiaoru wanted to mock Gu Chi and Su Kexin, but looking at Gu Chi's peerless handsome face and the graceful arcs he drew in the dance floor, she suddenly felt that her mockery had lost its strength.
Not only her, but also the other onlookers around her, gradually changed from the initial shock to envy.
"My God, I just realized, sitting in a wheelchair can be so charming!"
"I'm so envious of Su Kexin. Her husband is so loving, romantic, and outstanding."
"He's truly the second son of the Gu family." Some of the older ones reminisced, their voices tinged with wistfulness, "Back then, he was such a dazzling young man. If it weren't for that kidnapping incident..."
On the other side, Su Kexin sat on Gu Chi's lap. She vaguely heard people discussing something around her, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. She couldn't help but raise her head to look over.
Unwillingly, Gu Zhi suddenly raised his hand, capturing her chin and stopping her movement.
"Do you care about what they say" Gu Chi seemed to have seen through Su Ke Xin's thoughts.
Su Ke Xin smiled sheepishly.
"Don't mind it." Gu Chi whispered, his hand on her chin loosened slightly, suddenly turning into a gentle caress. "You just need to, enjoy this moment well."
Gu Chi's voice was a few notes lower than usual, as if imbued with magic. Su Ke Xin felt as if she were being enchanted, nodding blankly and reaching out to embrace his neck, swaying gently with him on the dance floor.
Looking at Su Ke Xin's cooperation, Gu Chi's lips curled up slightly.
On the other side, at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
Mr. Gu stood straight, looking down at everything in the dance floor below.
Watching Su Ke Xin and Gu Chi glide across the dance floor, Su Ke Xin's bright smile and Gu Chi's faint, gentle smile moved him.
How long...has it been since I've seen this child smile like this
“Master,” an elderly butler with white hair walked over, “Time is almost up. Shouldn't we see our guests off and arrange for the young masters and ladies to be settled in”
"Well, it's almost done." Old Master Gu only then came to his senses and nodded, "By the way, you help me call that Su Kexin girl over to my study."
After speaking, Master Gu turned and walked towards the study.
The ball ended soon, and ultimately the most eye-catching person wasn't Lin Xiaoru, the titular protagonist, but Su Kexin who had been sitting on Gu Chi's leg all evening.
As the last song finished, Su Keixin stood up, her face still flushed, when suddenly she saw an old man resembling a butler walk up to her and respectfully said, "Second Mistress, Master asks you to go to his study."
Su Kexin was stunned.
Master Gu looking for her
Could it be because of the photo just now
Su Kexin, upon thinking of Master Gu's piercing gaze, couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness. Instinctively, she looked towards Gu Chi.
But Gu Chi only nodded slightly, "It's nothing. Although grandpa has a rather peculiar temper, he isn't unreasonable."
Hearing this from Gu Chi, Su Keqin felt a little relieved. Following the old butler, she walked towards the study on the second floor.
Mr. Gu's study was very old-fashioned, with sandalwood incense burning. As Su Keixin walked in, she suddenly had the feeling of traveling through time.
The old man had now changed into a long robe and was sitting behind his desk. Since she entered, his sharp gaze had been fixed on her.
Su Ke Xin tried her best to calm herself down, walked to the desk, and respectfully said, "Mr. Gu."
"What did you call me" Mr. Gu asked sternly.
Su Keixin was taken aback and didn't react.
"Now that you're married to Gu Chi, you should follow him and call me grandpa." Seeing Su Keixin didn't understand, Old Master Gu patiently explained for a moment, then couldn't help but sneer, adding, "You and your sister Lin Xiaoru are really different. One can't wait to call me grandpa, while the other one who should call me grandpa refuses to."
Su Ke Xin's face turned pale.
Mr. Gu, it turns out he knew that you and Lin Xiaoru were sisters.
But come to think of it, I've been married to Gu Chi for so long, it's impossible that Old Master Gu hasn't investigated me.
However, since Old Master Gu allowed her to call him grandfather, he didn't mean to disown her as his granddaughter-in-law. This gave her some relief. She sweetly called out, "Grandfather."
Then, Old Master Gu nodded in satisfaction and gestured with his chin, "Sit."
Su Ke Xin obediently sat down, only to hear Old Master Gu's imposing voice once again: "What do you think I called you here for"
"It's about the photos for the banquet, isn't it" Su Kexin gathered her courage and looked up. Since she had this opportunity, she naturally had to explain clearly, "Grandpa, these photos are actually—"
Before she could even begin to explain, Old Master Gu had already raised his hand directly, stopping her from saying another word.
"You don't need to explain yourself to me," Old Master Gu said with a hint of impatience. "Don't you think, after all these years you've been married to Gu Chi, I haven't figured out what's going on"
Mr. Gu was very clever with his words. By saying "find out clearly," he expressed his meaning perfectly.
He didn't just look into what happened two years ago, he uncovered the truth, so he knew Su Ke Xin was framed.
Now Su Ke Xin understood why Old Master Gu didn't seem surprised when he saw the photo, and hadn't blamed her either.
He already knew about the swallow's arrival.
Su Ke Xin breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"You don't need to thank me," Old Master Gu snorted. "You wouldn't think I let this one slide just because you're particularly innocent, would you"he could even feel happy, Cheng An over there couldn't keep his mouth shut."Later, Mrs. Eifert also gave me some prescriptions, but as a repayment to her, I had to help her with an experiment."Xu Zui'...
