Chapter 690: 690 Midnight’s Gift (1)_1
When they’re alone, he doesn’t want to bring up anyone who would dampen the mood.
"Go late or early, it’s the same. It’s better to solve it earlier," Eleven said reluctantly, "If...from now on I need to accompany her to dinner every day, then I will accompany you at lunch, and we won’t meet in the evenings."
Gu Liancheng’s noodle-slurping movements hiccuped. He lifted his head to look at her. His hand reached out across the table, touching her face: "You don’t have to torment yourself, nor do you have to lower yourself this much. When I asked you to be my woman, it wasn’t so you could endure hardships."
He knew he should have waited, confessed his feelings to her after dealing with all that messy stuff. He’d considered this situation from the beginning, which was why he let her move away, not wanting to put her in a difficult position. But he hadn’t expected he’d be unable to wait even a moment longer.
And now that they were together, indulging in the sweet intricacies of shared space, he didn’t want to be apart even for a second.
"Sometimes I feel like I’m the scum that plays two sides. Sweet-talking one while deceiving the other." Gu Liancheng thought for a bit, then laughed helplessly.
It was just too true.
Had Qianxun not had utmost trust in him, she would have been in agony a while ago, questioning their relationship.
"Right?" Eleven said, laughter brightening her face, "Enjoying the best of both worlds, you scumbag!"
"Even though I’m terrible, you can’t be. When I’m not around, you can’t go on dates with other men," he said.
"For instance?"
"For instance, your ex-boyfriend, Second Master Jin, for instance, my child’s godfather, Young Master Ye, or maybe...that brother of yours with no blood relation."
"The first two don’t matter. Isn’t Shang Jingyang your friend? You’re even guarding against him." As Eleven said this, she wondered if he had noticed something between her and Shang Jingyang.
To prevent him from overthinking, Eleven didn’t bring up the promise Shang Jingyang had made to her, so as to avoid any fallout between the two men because of her.
"Don’t covet your friend’s wife. Even if it’s a friend, if they harbor ideas about my wife..."
"Enough, I don’t want to know how you treat your friends," Eleven cut him off.
Some things, even if Gu Liancheng doesn’t ask, he can sense.
Shang Jingyang has been searching for her for so long, for over a decade. He never gave up the idea of finding Qianxun. In his words, even if he couldn’t find her alive, he wanted to see her corpse. How could a person just vanish into thin air?
Therefore, Gu Liancheng’s intuition told him that what was driving him to keep searching was not just the simple fact of her being his "sister". Maybe he also had feelings for Qianxun...
As for Jin Xiangbei, although he’s concerned, he also understands her character. Jin Xiangbei betrayed her, so she will never forgive him, let alone go back with him. Jin Xiangbei is a lesson for him, and he will definitely remember this.
"By the way..." As Eleven recalled the previous matter, she asked, "Can you help An Hao with her situation?"
With the matter raised by her, Gu Liancheng was definitely keen to help, and asked: "How do you want me to help?"
Eleven thought for a moment and said, "It’s like this... If An Hao really did it, I won’t ask you to do anything about it. But I don’t think she would do such a thing. There’s definitely some hidden truth to this. Can you...find a way to prove her innocence?"
