《Facial Paralysis Husband, Good Morning》 Chapter 1 In a dark room, with mottled walls, and a cool concrete floor, sewage was piled up here and there, and the base of the walls were littered with garbage such as instant noodle boxes and mineral water bottles, exuding a sour smell. He was sitting in this kind of sewage, and the pants under his butt were all wet, and he couldn¡¯t tell whether it was sewage or excrement and urine. A man came with his back to the light, his face could not be seen clearly, his face only had a rough outline, and the rest was pitch black. He could just watch him untie his belt. Every time they came, they peed on his face. He closed his eyes and lips tightly, preparing to meet the familiar stench. Chu Zhaoyang suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily and rapidly. At four o¡¯clock in the morning, the faint light outside came in through the window which did not have the curtains drawn, and everything in the bedroom could be seen clearly. Another nightmare. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s breathing gradually slowed down. He lowered his head and buried his head in his palms, and his palms ruthlessly wiped the cold sweat off his face. He couldn¡¯t sleep anymore, so he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The water flowed all the way down his hair, over his strong chest and abdominal muscles, flowing all the way down, and gathering in the middle along the two mermaid lines. He wiped the water from his face with his palms, trying to shake off the nightmare just now. He was kidnapped when he was seven, and that dark memory became a nightmare that had been with him ever since. At first, he had nightmares all night, and other symptoms like insomnia and autism, and he did not even speak to the psychiatrist. It¡¯s better now, every nightmare was very short, within the range he could bear, only his sleep was still not very good, it seemed to be a habit, and there were still only a few words heard from him. At seven o¡¯clock, he dressed up and drove to the company. Hei Tim Yue was parked in the parking lot below the company. Chu Zhaoyang got out of the car and was walking towards the door of the company, when suddenly a girl in front ran towards him. ¡°Stop, don¡¯t run!¡± Chu Zhaoyang heard the girl shout, her voice was crisp, and sounded surprisingly pleasant. He froze for a moment, then stood still. Looking at the sun shining on the girl, the ponytail that was tied behind her head was glowing, and it was swaying with the movement of her running, making her look even more lively and beautiful. However, Chu Zhaoyang wondered if this girl was too unrestrained and enthusiastic. It¡¯s not wrong to look for someone good-looking and excellent, but is it good to just throw your arms around someone like this on the first meeting? Girls should be more reserved. He thought so in his heart, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and didn¡¯t move. The girl who was rushing towards him seemed to be bathed in sunlight, and her body was full of the breath of the sun. Like a¡­ little sun, it was very warm. Chu Zhaoyang raised his hand, his long fingers with distinct joints were like a piece of art, lean and powerful, as he pulled his tie down from his throat. He had just experienced a nightmare, and he was cold to the bone. At this time, he really wanted to be warmed by the sun, and he wanted to know what it felt like to hug the sun into his arms. Well, he would reluctantly allow the girl to get close to him and would then hug her just to satisfy her wish. Just after he had made up his mind, he saw the girl point at him and shout, ¡°Stop him!¡± Chu Zhaoyang kept his arms opened to welcome the girl into his arms. While the man in the grey jacket was running away in a panic. He also held a dark blue clutch in his hand. Seeing that he was blocking his way, he turned a corner and tried to stagger. Chu Zhaoyang narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his long legs and kicked him down. At the same time, Gu Nian also rushed over, grabbed the thief¡¯s wrist, and pulled the handcuffs from her waist with her other hand. The thief took the opportunity to slam her to the side, Gu Nian was unprepared, and she was about to be thrown to the ground when she suddenly bumped into Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s firm and hot embrace. Her slender waist was firmly held by a palm, and the hot palm penetrated the T-shirt and stuck directly to her slender and soft waist. Chapter 2 The sweet aroma, like the smell of morning dew, spread into his nose from the soft and delicate body in his arms. The soft and fragrant feeling in his arms made him reluctant to let go, his palms clenched on her waist unconsciously, as he felt the softness on his palms through the soft and thin fabric. Gu Nian panicked, her whole body was surrounded by the male breath with mint fragrance, and she immediately struggled to get out of the embrace. The softness in his arms kept rubbing, and Chu Zhaoyang, who was being rubbed against, caught fire early in the morning, and the soft strands of her hair inadvertently brushed the tip of his nose and thin hot lips. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s breath was rough, and his hot palms clasped her waist, pressing her into his arms and securing her. He lowered his head, brushed his lips over her ears, and his low, smooth and hoarse voice slid into her sensitive ears: ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Gu Nian¡¯s ears went numb, and her body became red. She panicked even more, so she struggled even more: ¡°You let me go, I still have to¡­ ah!¡± Halfway through the sentence, Chu Zhaoyang suddenly pressed her tightly into his arms, and she was hugged and turned around. Then, a scream was heard. Before she could react, she was let go. Before he had time to sort out the slightly messy clothes he held, he saw the thief lying on the ground, holding his wrists tossing and turning, and there was a dagger lying on the ground in the distance. A crowd of onlookers said, ¡°Miss, you are really lucky. If it weren¡¯t for this young man, you would have been stabbed by this thief.¡± Gu Nian only just got to know that Chu Zhaoyang was holding onto her because he wanted to protect her. At this time, a uniformed police officer also rushed over and handcuffed the thief. Gu Nian returned the clutch to the middle-aged woman who had hurried over later. The woman bowed and thanked them again and again: ¡°Thank you, thank you so much girl!¡± The police officer caught the thief and came over and said to Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang, ¡°Thank you two for your help, I have to trouble you two to go back to the police station with me to give a statement.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also a police woman, this was my duty.¡± Gu Nian said. ¡°It turned out that we are colleagues!¡± The policeman was surprised and gave a thumbs up, ¡°You run really fast.¡± After that, he took the thief to the police car. Gu Nian looked at the expressionless Chu Zhaoyang, and smiled embarrassedly: ¡°Just now, thank you.¡± Chu Zhaoyang nodded slightly with a paralyzed face, and his movements were not obvious. Seeing him leave, Gu Nian didn¡¯t dare to stare after him too much. Seeing his indifferent look, he didn¡¯t seem to want to talk more, Gu Nian scratched her head, and could only follow up to find the police. Chu Zhaoyang followed behind her, lowered his eyes slightly, his long and thick eyelashes blocked the light in his eyes, he raised the right hand that had hugged Gu Nian just now, and the soft touch in his palm seemed to still be there. He leaned his hand over to the tip of his nose and sniffed, as if it might also carry the sweet scent of her body. He held his right hand, rubbing his thumb lightly on the knuckle of his index finger. Looking up at Gu Nian, who was walking in front, she walked lightly and flicked her ponytail, which reminded her of the feeling of her hair brushing the tip of his nose and lips just now. This girl seemed to be very active towards him, she seemed to like him a lot? Chu Zhaoyang straightened his tie, his back became straighter and straighter, and a little pride appeared at the corner of his mouth. The thief was placed in the back seat, and Gu Nian was also about to sit in, when her wrists suddenly felt hot as they were restrained forcefully. She turned around in astonishment, and saw Chu Zhaoyang standing behind her, his firm chest pressed against her arm. The palm of his wrist was so hot that Gu Nian shivered, and she was about to struggle after panicking, but Chu Zhaoyang held her even tighter, such that she couldn¡¯t break free. Chapter 3 Gu Nian was a little annoyed, this man, why was he so close to her! The smell of mint coming from him actually made her legs feel weak. Seeing that Gu Nian¡¯s stern thin lips seemed to struggle for a while, he said, ¡°Lean against me.¡± Anyway, this little girl liked him, so it was not good for the little girl who liked him to lean so close to a strange man. What should he do if she suffers? Pulling Gu Nian behind him, Chu Zhaoyang got into the car first. Gu Nian seemed to have guessed what he meant, and sat down beside him embarrassedly, thinking that she had misunderstood him again. But it was really because this man¡¯s face was always paralyzed, as if he was unhappy all the time, that it was hard not to misunderstand. Gu Nian felt uncomfortable and wanted to apologize, but she didn¡¯t know how to start, so she secretly looked at Chu Zhaoyang from the corner of her eye. This was the first time she had calmed down enough to observe, and she could see now that he was wearing a custom-made suit, looking fit and elegant. Because of the sitting position, the trousers were slightly stretched over his legs, and they were not stretched too much, but the outline of his thighs under the trousers could still be seen, slender, powerful and full of masculine tension. His hands rested on his knees naturally, and his long fingers like jade bamboo were slightly bent, revealing the distinct joints, white and elegant. A word suddenly popped up in Gu Nian¡¯s mind, abstinent. A neat suit with an expressionless face, it was as if he had cut off all his emotions and desires, it seemed that nothing could arouse his emotions, and his whole person had a kind of cleanliness which emanated from the bones. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s fingertips quietly exerted force, clasping his knees, until his fingertips turned white. Did she think that he was blind? Even if she liked him, she didn¡¯t have to look at him so bluntly, it was still his place, it¡¯s so unreserved! Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s lower abdomen tightened slightly, and his sitting became more and more arrogant, which made his pants even tighter, which also highlighted his pride. His black pupil slid to the corner of his eyes, peaking at Gu Nian¡¯s reaction. This little girl seemed to have seen it. The corners of Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s mouth were smugly drawn into an imperceptible arc. Suddenly, the car swerved sharply, Gu Nian was thrown against the car door, Chu Zhaoyang pressed down on Gu Nian again, he quickly supported the door with his hand, and protected Gu Nian in his arms to avoid pressing her again. Immediately afterwards, the police car braked suddenly, and the two fell forward again. Chu Zhaoyang immediately stretched out his hand to protect Gu Nian¡¯s head. When the car stopped, Gu Nian opened her eyes in shock, raised her head, and her gaze slammed into Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s eyes. She was still being protected by Chu Zhaoyang in his arms at this time. The surroundings were full of his body temperature and the refreshing scent of mint, but she felt extremely hot. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face was close at hand, and his breath swept across her face. Gu Nian¡¯s eyes landed on his thin hot and beautiful lips at first glance, but she quickly removed her eyes when she felt too hot, then her eyes bumped into his eyebrows. His brows were sharp, as sharp as knives. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s pursed lips loosened slightly, and he said solemnly, ¡°Are you alright?¡± The breath that came out seemed to have the scent of mint, it sprinkled on her face, and her skin turned from white to red. Gu Nian shook her head before she regained her senses, Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes, and his eyes slowly fell on her hands holding his suit. Gu Nian made a soft ¡°ah¡± sound and quickly let go. In this way, it was as if he was going to be stronger. ¡°Are you all right? I¡¯m sorry, but a cat suddenly jumped out just now, so just to avoid it, I had to slam the brakes.¡± The policeman said apologetically, and was stunned when he turned around. Chapter 4 The two were hugging each other intimately, and Gu Nian was tightly guarded by Chu Zhaoyang, only barely showing half of her face. At this time, Chu Zhaoyang was so close to her that the policeman felt that he would kiss her anytime. Gu Nian woke up and quickly pushed him. Chu Zhaoyang coughed dryly and sat upright again. Gu Nian glanced at the policeman embarrassedly, the policeman laughed dryly, turned back and continued driving. After only two or three minutes, the car stopped in front of the police station, Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang got out of the car, and the police came to bring the thief in. Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang made a statement and signed it. Gu Nian couldn¡¯t help but squint secretly, then she caught a glimpse of three strong words signed on the statement: Chu Zhaoyang. It turned out that his name was Chu Zhaoyang. His writing felt just like him, restrained and strong. Then, Gu Nian also signed her name on the record. Chu Zhaoyang straightened his tie with a long finger, and his face was completely unchanged. He just thought of two words in his heart, Gu Nian. Gu Nian, Gu Nian, Gu Nian. The policeman who had brought them there had already made himself familiar and had asked them to call him Xiaoxiao, as he said with a smile, ¡°Thank you two very much for today. I¡¯ll take you back.¡± The police station was very close to the Chutian Group, and it was only a ten-minute drive away. There were also contact information and work addresses provided by the two people on the statement. He had learned that Gu Nian was working at the police station in the next area, and both of them were working very close. Gu Nian was about to be late, so she did not refuse. Chu Zhaoyang glanced at Gu Nian and nodded silently. Xiaoxiao sent Gu Nian to the police station. Before getting out of the car, Gu Nian said goodbye to Xiaoxiao, and then looked at Chu Zhaoyang. Under Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s gaze, she raised a bright smile: ¡°Nice to meet you. Your skills are great. Also, in the car just now, thank you. I¡¯m leaving, bye.¡± Chu Zhaoyang gently moved the corner of his mouth, but it was not obvious, and nodded to Gu Nian again. After getting off the car, Gu Nian trotted all the way into the police station. The ponytail flicked behind her head, glowing brightly with sunlight, looking inexplicably dazzling. Chu Zhaoyang was reluctant to withdraw his gaze until he could not see her. When he lowered his head, the smile on his lips widened. He took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, created a new contact, entered Gu Nian¡¯s name, and then skilfully entered a string of numbers. When Gu Nian was filling in the contact information just now, he watched it and noted it down. When Xiaoxiao saw Chu Zhaoyang through the rear view mirror, he asked casually, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you work in Chutian?¡± ¡°En.¡± Chu Zhaoyang didn¡¯t lift his head. Xiaoxiao was not a talkative person, but he was most afraid of being in the cold, so he still persevered in the face of Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s indifference: ¡°That¡¯s very powerful, I know that Chutian is very difficult to enter, and my neighbour¡¯s son in our courtyard passed the test to enter Chutian, their family is happy every day.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Chu Zhaoyang stared at Gu Nian¡¯s name in the address book, thinking that if he took the initiative to call her, would she fly with joy? Xiaoxiao continued his efforts: ¡°Then what did you do in Chutian?¡± Chu Zhaoyang still stared at Gu Nian¡¯s name, and said casually, ¡°President.¡± Xiaoxiao: ¡°¡­Haha, you are really joking.¡± Chu Zhaoyang finally raised his head, staring at the back of Xiaoxiao¡¯s head, causing Xiaoxiao to feel his burning gaze without turning back. Then, he heard Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s emotionless voice: ¡°No kidding.¡± Xiaoxiao: ¡°¡­¡± He was accidentally carrying a local tyrant, so nervous! Gu Nian entered the office of the police station and heard a colleague discussing a popular little fresh meat in this magazine: ¡°This Lin Youyuan is really handsome, Gu Nian, don¡¯t you think?¡± Gu Nian glanced at it and felt that the fresh meat was fresh, but he still lost a bit to the charm of a mature man. Suddenly, Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face full of abstinence appeared in her mind.. Chapter 5 ¡°I saw a man this morning. He was much more handsome than him. He was especially handsome. It¡¯s not an exaggeration. I think he is more mature and stable. There is no popular male star like him, or they are not as handsome, or they don¡¯t have the temperament. He is always serious, he doesn¡¯t talk much, even if he does, he only says a few words. How should I put it, he just looks very abstinent.¡± Gu Nian sat down on her seat, resting her chin on her hands. While saying that, she had a clear picture of Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face in her mind. ¡°It¡¯s not easy, Gu Nian, you can have such a high opinion of a man and have such a deep impression.¡± He Yishan put down the magazine, leaned over across the large desk, and asked with a wink, ¡°Are you excited?¡± ¡°What are you talking about, it¡¯s nothing like that.¡± Gu Nian got up and went to the closet, took out her uniform and put it on, ¡°Isn¡¯t that why you asked me whether that Lin Youyuan is handsome? I just saw someone more handsome than him.¡± ¡°However, where did you meet him? You are so lucky. As long as I can catch a glimpse of such a handsome guy. Why am I so unlucky that I don¡¯t meet a handsome guy?¡± He Yishan lamented. ¡°It was unintentional. The more you want to see it, the less God will show you. Gu Nian doesn¡¯t usually care much about handsome guys, but she can still meet them.¡± Colleague Liu Zhiyuan took the iron thermos cup, and said while walking back to his seat. ¡°I know where she met him.¡± The director came out and said with a smile, ¡°On the way to work this morning, Xiao Gu helped catch a thief, and the handsome guy Xiao Gu talked about caught the thief with her.¡± Seeing Gu Nian¡¯s surprise, Director Guan explained: ¡°I just received a call from the director of the police station in the neighbouring district. He was afraid that you would be delayed at work because of this matter and would be criticized by me, so he specifically called me to tell me about the situation.¡± Gu Nian stood up flattered, Director Guan smiled and patted her on the shoulder: ¡°Good job.¡± ¡°Reporting to the Director, this is what I should do.¡± Gu Nian stood upright and said energetically. The director laughed: ¡°Okay, young woman, keep working hard.¡± When the director left, He Yishan said, ¡°Hey, where did you catch the thief this morning? I¡¯ll also go to squat tomorrow.¡± Gu Nian shook her head and smiled: ¡°Wasn¡¯t it a coincidence? How can you rely on squatting for this matter?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, you and that handsome guy worked together to catch a thief, didn¡¯t you leave contact information for each other? So, that you can keep in touch in the future! Also, is he single?¡± He Yishan grabbed her and asked. ¡°No, I don¡¯t have his contact information. And he doesn¡¯t talk much, so how can I talk to him so much. But such a good person must have a girlfriend.¡± Gu Nian turned on the computer and didn¡¯t pay much attention to He Yishan¡¯s questions. Liu Zhiyuan blew at the tea leaves floating on the surface of the cup, took a sip, and said, ¡°You think everybody is like you, you have to ask for their contact information whenever you see a handsome guy.¡± He Yishan: ¡°Bang!¡± On the cover of the magazine on He Yishan¡¯s desk, she paused. After greeting He Yishan, Gu Nian brought the magazine. The man on the cover stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing two-thirds of his body and face, with a large desk in front of him. On the desk, a desktop computer, laptop, and various documents were neatly arranged, but they still couldn¡¯t see the man¡¯s long legs. He stood tall, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other in front of his abdomen. A regulated suit, tailored and straight, made his slender figure even more outstanding. ¡°Chu Zhaoyang.¡± Gu Nian whispered. Chapter 6 Looking at this clear face, wasn¡¯t it Chu Zhaoyang? Outside the window was the blue sky, and the white clouds looked like cotton candy, floating around in pieces, soft and pleasant. It was originally a beautiful scene, but at this time, it could only be reduced to be the background of Chu Zhaoyang, acting as a foil for him. The sunlight from outside the window shone brightly inside the room, casting a hazy golden layer on his body, so that the side of him close to the floor-to-ceiling window was covered with a hazy brilliance, which allowed that side to remain hidden. The sunlight in the lens merged into several circles of glazed light, falling on the upper left of the screen, becoming the most natural spotlight. She opened the report, Chu Zhaoyang, 32 years old, president of Chutian Technology, has the largest medical technology research and development center in China, and the Chutian Hospital he owns is also a domestic leader. It turned out that he was so great. Because of the praise from the director, Gu Nian was extraordinarily motivated and was in a good mood all day. She hummed a song all the way home, climbed up to the fifth floor one step at a time, took the key to open the door, and as a result she saw a pair of ladies¡¯ loafers at the door, and the style seemed to be the same as those worn by someone about the same age as her mother. Immediately afterwards, chatter and laughter came from the living room. Hearing the content, Gu Nian¡¯s face sank, and her good mood disappeared. Gu Nian inhaled a deep breath and breathed out again. Then she changed into her slippers, put the leather shoes she had just removed into the shoe cabinet, and walked into the living room. In the living room, next to her mother Mu Lanshu sat a woman of about the same age. Seeing Gu Nian, Mu Lanshu greeted her: ¡°Gu Nian, this is Mom¡¯s colleague, your Auntie Su.¡± ¡°This is your daughter, oh, she¡¯s really beautiful.¡± Auntie Su looked her up and down and took a few minutes. This kind of gaze which seemed to place her on the shelf so that she could be measured made Gu Nian extremely uncomfortable. Aunt Su withdrew her gaze and said to Mu Lanshu, ¡°Gu Nian looks better than you said.¡± Mu Lanshu laughed, her daughter was praised, and her face could not hide the pride she felt: ¡°It¡¯s not me boasting, our family¡¯s daughter is really good. She has an iron job, stable, caring and kind. If she is filial to me, she can also be filial to the other¡¯s parents. There is absolutely no discrimination. These days, there is no such diligent and kind girl as the Gu Nian from our family.¡± ¡°Yes, I usually chat with you, and I also understand Gu Nian.¡± Aunt Su patted her knee and stood up, ¡°So this is not the first time I thought of you, the other boy is really good and will never let you down.¡± ¡°Well, thank you very much for this, you still think about our family.¡± Mu Lanshu followed and stood up. ¡°Look at what you are saying, if I don¡¯t think about my niece, who else will I think about?¡± Aunt Su said with a smile, ¡°Okay, I told you about this too, so I¡¯ll go first.¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s time to eat, eat dinner before leaving.¡± Mu Lanshu followed. ¡°Don¡¯t be so polite to me. Besides, I have to go back and cook for my old man and my child. It just so happens that my child is in the third year of high school this year, and gets home from school late, so I will go back now.¡± Aunt Su explained as she walked out. ¡°Okay, then I won¡¯t force you to stay. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner someday.¡± Mu Lanshu smiled and sent Aunt Su to the door. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Aunt Su smiled and waved at the door. After a while, Mu Lanshu came back and said to Gu Nian, ¡°Auntie Su came to see you with her own eyes.¡± Chapter 7 Gu Nian raised her eyebrows and endured the discomfort in her heart: ¡°What do you mean? Came to see me, she came to treat me as a commodity on the shelf, and make a comment?¡± Thinking of the way Aunt Su looked at her just now, she seemed to be calculating her. Being deemed unworthy by the other party made her feel uncomfortable. ¡°How can you talk like this!¡± Mu Lanshu also lowered her face, and when she mentioned the subject, Mu Lanshu made a bad face towards Gu Nian, ¡°People are kind enough to introduce you to a boy, but because she hasn¡¯t seen you before, and the other party is really good, so she came to see you. I know what she had in mind, she is just being responsible to the other party. How can it become yin and yang strange when it comes out of your mouth? You can¡¯t always speculate about others so maliciously.¡± Gu Nian pursed her lips and endured it for a long time, then asked: ¡°Then did she show you the photo of the man?¡± Mu Lanshu paused, looked away slightly, and said in a lower voice than before: ¡°No.¡± ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s just here to see if I¡¯m worthy of someone, why didn¡¯t she show you at least one photo of the other person? You can¡¯t just ask this from us. This is disrespecting me and you, Mom, you know that.¡± Gu Nian suppressed her anger and explained to Mu Lanshu patiently. ¡°She said that the other party is very good.¡± Therefore, Mu Lanshu didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t she tell the other party that I¡¯m also very good?¡± Gu Nian opened her mouth and retorted, ¡°This kind of thing is all about the eyes, where does it come from that there are so many people who are not worthy of the other? If there is sincerity, then she should have shown us the other party¡¯s photo, you can even give her my photo. If you think it¡¯s acceptable, we can even meet. Why is she only coming to identify me? ¡° Gu Nian sat on the sofa with pursed lips and sighed. With a sigh, she raised her head and said, ¡°Also, Mom, I¡¯m only 24, so don¡¯t worry at all.¡± ¡°How can you not be in a hurry? I haven¡¯t seen you fall in love since you were a child. Yes, when you used to go to school, you couldn¡¯t fall in love early. But I didn¡¯t see you dating even once in college. Anyway, you went to a police academy, and the school was full of boys. I didn¡¯t see you looking for even one boyfriend. If you start looking for one now, there would be two years of dating and marriage, and having a child when you are twenty-seven or eight-year-old is the best. If you drag it on, the longer it will be, so the sooner you start looking the better.¡± Mu Lanshu also sat down. Gu Nian didn¡¯t want to be entangled in this matter, otherwise she would have to listen to Mu Lanshu again. Then she patted her stomach: ¡°Mom, it¡¯s so late, you haven¡¯t cooked yet, I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make it later.¡± Mu Lanshu said impatiently, drinking a little cold tea. Because she was going to entertain Aunt Su, she did not have time to cook. She was also little hungry now, but she won¡¯t admit it. ¡°Besides, you have such a profession, can you compare with others? You¡¯re a girl, what¡¯s wrong with you, why did you have to be a policeman?¡± Mu Lanshu complained. ¡°What¡¯s so wrong in being a policeman? If everyone think like you, no one will be a police officer, who will guard the law and order and catch the criminals?¡± Gu Nian was hungry, so she grabbed a handful of pistachios and ate them. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you!¡± Mu Lanshu grabbed the pistachios in her palm and threw them back into the box, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m selfish, but it¡¯s because you¡¯re my daughter and I worry about you, why would I worry about others? Originally, I was very happy when I heard that you are going to be a police officer. I thought it was an iron job, and I thought you would be a civilian, but when other people hear it, they are not happy. When a man is looking for a wife, he just wants to find a safe and secure one. Listening to your work is scary. Are you still thinking of Yan Lu¨C¡° ¡°Mom!¡± Gu Nian shouting, loudly interrupting Mu Lanshu¡¯s words. Chapter 8 Gu Nian clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and the words touched the string in her heart that she didn¡¯t want to be plucked easily. She just called ¡°Mom¡± and she was speechless. Just because of the word ¡°Yan Lu¡±, it kept twirling in her heart and on the tip of her tongue. Gu Nian¡¯s lips trembled violently, and Mu Lanshu also felt that she had said the wrong thing, her face was ugly, and she couldn¡¯t say soft words to comfort Gu Nian. She opened her mouth, but couldn¡¯t make a sound for a long time, then she saw Gu Nian turn and run back to her room. When Mu Lanshu got up and chased after her, she heard Gu Nian slamming the door. Mu Lanshu chased to the door, felt entangled in her heart, but still took a deep breath and turned the doorknob. Fortunately, Gu Nian did not lock the door. She pushed open the door and went in, inside she saw Gu Nian lying on her side of the bed, her body was bent into a bow shape, and her face was buried in her arms. Mu Lanshu sighed, walked to the bedside, opened and closed her mouth several times, and then asked, ¡°Do you still remember Yan Lu in your heart?¡± Gu Nian remained motionless, and said in a muffled voice, ¡°No.¡± ¡°No.¡± Mu Lanshu pursed her lips, hardened her heart and said, ¡°It¡¯s useless even if you think about him, he¡¯s already dead. Nian Nian, you can¡¯t be single all your life because of a man, right?¡± Gu Nian curled herself up even more in silence. Mu Lanshu simply sat down by the bed: ¡°I really thought that Yan Lu was a pretty good kid. But who would have thought that he would¡­ He is gone, and it has delayed you for so many years. What¡¯s the point of being a police officer? Okay, it¡¯s so dangerous. You¡¯re a girl, listen to Mom, change your job, being steady is better than anything.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t! My dad was also a policeman, and I want to be a good policeman just like my dad.¡± Gu Nian sat up, her fair and pure face full of determination. ¡°But your dad wasn¡¯t¡ª¡± Mu Lanshu raised her voice excitedly and stopped abruptly. Her face became unnatural for a moment, and then she slapped Gu Nian¡¯s back, ¡°You child, why are you so disobedient! Your father died early, not long after you were born, your father went away. It was just me who brought you up, am I not doing all this for your own good?¡± ¡°Mom, I know, but I like to be a policeman, and I like to help others.¡± Gu Nian whispered. When Mu Lanshu mentioned how difficult it had been to raise Gu Nian over the years, her eyes became red, and tears rolled out. While wiping away her tears, she said, ¡°I know you like to help people, even if you do other jobs, you can help others. My biggest wish was to be able to raise you well. Now, my biggest wish is to see you get married. Nian Nian, your mother is old, who knows how many years I can stay with you? I¡¯m afraid that after I am gone, you will be alone and have no one to accompany you. Just listen to your mother, okay? You like to work as a policeman, well, I won¡¯t force you.¡± Fortunately, Gu Nian was only a police officer at the police station now, and it was not her turn to do those dangerous things. At best, it was to help catch thieves, catch cats, and remind residents of miscellaneous things about fire prevention and theft. Mu Lanshu wiped her tears and said, ¡°But, you can go on a blind date, right? Your aunt Su said that this time the man is a bank manager, 28 years old, with a stable career and his name is Zhou Zheng. It is because your own conditions are very good, so your requirements are a bit high, and you¡¯ve been single until now. Otherwise, at this age, even if other girls are not married, they will have started talking about boyfriends. It is really not easy for your aunt Su to introduce him to you. Just to let me feel at ease, go and have a look, talk to the person, and behave well, okay?¡± Seeing Mu Lanshu crying, Gu Nian felt uncomfortable. Hearing the blind date, Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face flashed in her mind inexplicably. Gu Nian spit out a sentence: ¡°Mom, I have someone I like.¡± Guys, ads are my only source of revenue, so please do not turn on the AdBlock when you are accessing this website¡­. Thank you, this would be a great help¡­ Chapter 9 Mu Lanshu was stunned for a moment, she blinked, and asked, ¡°Do you have someone you like?¡± Gu Nian didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her, so she said that and nodded. ¡°Who is it? What does he look like? Are there any photos? What¡¯s his name? How old is he? What does he do?¡± Mu Lanshu immediately threw out a series of questions. This made Gu Nian stumped. Just now, she had thought of Chu Zhaoyang for some reason, and as soon as she caught wind, she really couldn¡¯t tell about Chu Zhaoyang, right? No one would believe her. Seeing her hesitation, Mu Lanshu said being displeased, ¡°You must have lied to me, right?¡± ¡°No.¡± Gu Nian retorted without any confidence. ¡°If you really like someone, go for it. Good men are rarely single, and if you make a mistake, you will lose them to someone else. You will regret it later.¡± Mu Lanshu said, ¡°But this will not delay your blind date, you just take a look and prepare with both hands. If the person you like doesn¡¯t like you, won¡¯t you still have a blind date?¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Gu Nian shouted helplessly. Mu Lanshu asked with red eyes, ¡°Are you going to go?¡± Gu Nian was most afraid of her crying, so she nodded and agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, dress up well then, don¡¯t deliberately spoil your image, and ruin the blind date.¡± Mu Lanshu said worriedly. ¡°I see.¡± On Saturday, under the supervision of Mu Lanshu, Gu Nian found a skirt from the closet and put it on. Mu Lanshu was still talking about her being a police officer, and that she didn¡¯t even have a decent skirt. Then, she supervised her to paint herself with light makeup. After being dressed properly, Gu Nian looked petite and slender, with fair skin and clear eyes, revealing a hearty and simple look. Mu Lanshu put her hands on Gu Nian¡¯s shoulders and smiled with satisfaction: ¡°My daughter looks good when she dresses up, she doesn¡¯t look like she is a police officer.¡± Gu Nian was unable to refute Mu Lanshu¡¯s prejudice against the police. Holding her bag, she went out dejectedly under Mu Lanshu¡¯s earnest instructions. When she went downstairs, she could still hear Mu Lanshu holding her head out and shouting at her: ¡°Don¡¯t forget to behave well. Don¡¯t look downcast when you see other people¡¯s faces.¡± Gu Nian sighed and took a taxi to go Shengyue. Standing at the door of Shengyue, across the revolving door, she could see the well-trained waiters inside receiving visitors. Gu Nian thought to herself that the other party chose Shengyue, a famous five-star hotel in City B, maybe he wanted to show off his intentions. Until now, she didn¡¯t even know what the other party looked like, and Aunt Su only gave her the other party¡¯s phone number. After that, the other party didn¡¯t contact her either, everything was done through Aunt Su, who had told her to meet him on Saturday. The other party didn¡¯t take the initiative to contact her, and she didn¡¯t bother to rush to contact the other party either. She always felt that the other party¡¯s behaviour was arrogant, and he really treated her as nothing. Her hand holding the bag tightened slightly, and she walked up the steps. As soon as her foot stepped on the last step, she was blocked by someone and almost hit the solid chest in front of her. The shirt that was close to the chest fitted the suit and the body, and even looked a bit rigid and straight. Gu Nian touched her nose subconsciously, but luckily she didn¡¯t really bump into him. She didn¡¯t know who was so reckless, how could he suddenly stop in front of people. With a little dissatisfaction, she raised her eyes, but unexpectedly her gaze slammed into a pair of eyes that were as deep as a pool. Their inner depths were deep and bottomless, and there was no trace of emotion. Gu Nian was completely stunned by the familiar eyes. The man she thought was too reckless was actually Chu Zhaoyang! Guys, ads are my only source of revenue, so please do not turn on the AdBlock when you are accessing this website¡­. Thank you, this would be a great help¡­ Chapter 10 The sun shrouded him, and he was coated with a layer of warm yellow, which neutralized the coldness around him. His skin was fair, and the warm sun fell on his face, as if it was about to melt into him. Gu Nian couldn¡¯t help thinking of the magazine cover she saw the day she first met him. Just like then, the blue sky and white clouds overhead had become his foil. With him in focus, all backgrounds were blurred. Shengyue¡¯s shadow gradually blurred behind him, only he stood there tall and jade-like, quiet and stable. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s deep black eyes flashed with shallow pleasure, this girl really liked him so much, she looked demented as soon as they met. His refreshing mint aroma wafted lightly along with the breeze, which also made Gu Nian sober, realizing that the two were too close to each other at this time, and she was about to stick into his arms. Looking down, she could see that her toes were almost touching his. Gu Nian quickly stepped back and waved at Chu Zhaoyang with a smile: ¡°Mr. Chu.¡± She really liked him so much, and she was so happy when she saw him. Chu Zhaoyang thought confidently in his heart. His eyes fell on Gu Nian¡¯s white face soaked in sunlight. The feeling that warmed his body, as if a warm spring was flowing through his limbs, had come back. For some reason, the night he met her, the nightmares that would haunt him every night did not reappear. On the contrary, what appeared repeatedly in his dreams was her smiling face in the sun. Then one night, he had a nightmare again. After waking up in a cold sweat, he unconsciously thought of her in the sun, and then gradually fell asleep. It was a peaceful sleep. ¡°Come to dinner?¡± Chu Zhaoyang asked, thinking that if he took the initiative to invite her to dinner, she could agree to him. Gu Nian paused before nodding: ¡°Well.¡± It should be a meal. Chu Zhaoyang was about to say something when suddenly a male voice stood between the two: ¡°Old Chu.¡± Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s expression became more serious. He looked up impatiently and saw a tall man walking over with an elegant smile, but with obvious curiosity in his eyes. ¡°Who is this?¡± Yan Beicheng walked over to Chu Zhaoyang and glanced at Gu Nian with interest. This was the first time he had seen Chu Zhaoyang standing so close to a woman. Just looking at it from a distance, Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s eyes were so focused that it seemed like he was going to eat the girl at any time. Chu Zhaoyang held back for a while, and then said coldly, ¡°Friend.¡± Gu Nian was extremely embarrassed, and quickly said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first, I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± After speaking, she hurriedly entered Shengyue as if escaping. Chu Zhaoyang sneered at Yan Beicheng, and entered Shengyue with a sullen face. Seeing Gu Nian looking for someone in the lobby, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. Someone suddenly tapped on his shoulder, as Yan Beicheng came over: ¡°Why, you like someone?¡± Chu Zhaoyang: ¡°Haha.¡± The two entered Yan Beicheng¡¯s exclusive room in Shengyue, Qi Chengzhi, Han Zhuoli and the others were already talking in the room. A few of them looked over, and Han Zhuoli looked suspiciously around Chu Zhaoyang a few times: ¡°Why do I think Lao Chu is different today?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s different, Lao Chu¡¯s spring has come. I didn¡¯t expect with his facial paralysis, he would like a women.¡± Yan Beicheng poured himself a cup of tea and gestured at the corners of his eyes, ¡°I saw Lao Chu talking to a girl at the door just now, and the corners of his eyes were full of spring.¡± Shocked, Han Zhuoli immediately jumped up: ¡°Damn it, old Chu has already gotten a spring? Then what should I do! Is that girl still there? I¡¯m going to have a look.¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Chu Zhaoyang rarely called out and stopped Han Zhuoli, ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous, girls are thin-skinned.¡± He paused, straightened his collar with his long fingers, and straightened his back, ¡°However, she does seem to like me very much.¡± Chapter 11 Yan Beicheng: ¡°¡­¡± Seeing the little girl¡¯s reaction just now, she didn¡¯t seem to like him. Yan Beicheng took a sip of tea and asked a little strangely, ¡°Why do you think so?¡± Chu Zhaoyang gave him a look of contempt, and said, ¡°When we first met, she rushed into my arms.¡± Yan Beicheng: ¡°¡­¡± The girl really didn¡¯t look so enthusiastic. In fact, Gu Nian was trying to catch the thief. Chu Zhaoyang said solemnly: ¡°When she was in the car, she peeked at me crazily.¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Chu Zhaoyang straightened his body and neatened his collar with his long knuckles: ¡°She looked at me full of admiration.¡± Yan Beicheng: ¡°¡­¡± Young man, you really think too much. After a while, Shengyue¡¯s manager came in and whispered something in Yan Beicheng¡¯s ear. After the manager left, Yan Beicheng looked at Chu Zhaoyang with schadenfreude: ¡°I said Lao Chu, you shouldn¡¯t have said that the girl likes you, because she is on a blind date now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Without a word, he stood up and walked out. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Han Zhuoli asked from behind. Chu Zhaoyang had already opened the door, and spit out two words with an indifferent expression: ¡°Catch the traitor.¡± At this time, Gu Nian didn¡¯t know what Chu Zhaoyang was thinking. She had just finished the phone call with the man and gotten to know where he was, so she walked over, and this was the first time she saw what the man looked like. Slightly fat, not too much of a face of a Chinese character, his skin was white as if smeared with powder, like flour dough, and the eyes were small, somewhat triangular. Gu Nian was almost pissed off. According to Aunt Su, the man felt that his condition was good, and he was picky about women. The ones she introduced to him in the past were either disliked for the fact that they were not local, or disliked for the other party¡¯s poor job, or disliked for the other party¡¯s low education. And the one thing that had never changed was that the woman was required to be beautiful. It was not that she was superficial, however since the other party¡¯s requirements were so high, but with the other party¡¯s appearance, did he still want the woman to look good? ¡°Miss Gu?¡± The other party looked at her with confirmation. Gu Nian nodded and introduced himself: ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Gu Nian.¡± The other party raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then gave her a mean look: ¡°Miss Gu really has no sense of time, you are late.¡± Gu Nian did not have a watch and took a glance at the time on her phone, two minutes late. Not wanting to see his mean face, Gu Nian sat down, lowered her eyes and said ¡°Sorry¡±. ¡°I heard that you are a police officer from the police station?¡± The man asked without asking Gu Nian to eat something. ¡°Well.¡± Gu Nian generously admitted that, she had always been proud of her work, so a smile appeared on her face. ¡°Do you still plan to continue doing this job when you get married in the future?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think there is anything wrong with this job.¡± Gu Nian said coldly. The man snorted disdainfully: ¡°Isn¡¯t the Pian¡¯er police station just dealing with trivial matters of the neighbourhood all day long? It¡¯s often seen in sitcoms. It¡¯s a shame for a girl to do this job. It¡¯s not a job with great promise.¡± ¡°Our task is to maintain social order and protect the safety of citizens. In my opinion, this is a very meaningful and honourable job. I don¡¯t need to be understood, but please respect my profession.¡± Gu Nian said, her eyes were already filled with undisguised contempt. Enraged by her gaze, the man threw the BMW key that he had prepared in his hand on the table, and said angrily, ¡°Who are you playing with! If it wasn¡¯t for Aunt Su¡¯s face, would I come to see you? The little police officer, it sounds good to be a civil servant¡ª¡± The man paused, tilted his head, and asked with a disdainful expression, ¡°Are you a civil servant?¡± Gu Nian pursed her lips, and no longer wanted to answer. Chapter 12 The man sneered and said angrily: ¡°If we are really together, my relatives and friends would ask me what you do, and if I say that you¡¯re a police officer. I can¡¯t afford to lose face. According to your appearance, you are in line with me. Let¡¯s talk about it, but you have to change your job, or at least get a clerical job, so that I can have face when I introduce you in the future. Besides, you need to change your temper. Who did you slap your face with just now? You have to be obedient, don¡¯t let your temper lose, I¡¯m not used to this.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Gu Nian sneered, resisting her impulse to throw all the water in front of her on the other party¡¯s face so much that her hands were shaking with anger ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯m not used to you. You have requirements for looks and temper, and I have them too. It just so happens that you don¡¯t meet my standards.¡± Gu Nian quickly took out a portable mirror from her bag, opened it for him thoughtfully, and threw it on his face, ¡°Please look in the mirror first to see what you look like, and then ask others.¡± The pain in his bones made him cry. Of course he couldn¡¯t look in the mirror. He slammed the mirror on the table and made a loud ¡°bang¡±, attracting all the guests around him to look over. With great strength, the mirror bounced off the table again, and finally fell to the ground, cracked by the shock. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Gu Nian¡¯s nose, and shouted loudly regardless of the occasion: ¡°Gu Nian, don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with you. If it wasn¡¯t for Aunt Su¡¯s face, I wouldn¡¯t have come out to see you, as a police officer, you are so arrogant!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the manager of Xingyuan Bank, you are a little policeman, you can¡¯t make as much money as I do in a month! I can find even the best woman. I¡¯m willing to come out to see you, just to give you face, you don¡¯t even look at your conditions! In a single-parent family, if your father dies, even if you marry in the future, you will still have to take your mother with you! Who will fall in love with you?¡± Gu Nian¡¯s eyes were red with anger, her whole body was trembling with anger, he was a scumbag, and scolded her about her having to bring her parents! She stood up, grabbed the water glass on the table and smashed it at him. Even water and cups were greeted on his head. The hard glass smashed directly onto his forehead, and even made a ¡°bang¡± sound, showing how painful it was. His forehead was directly red and swollen, his hair and shoulders were wet, his hair was tightly attached to his scalp, and there was no shape to speak of, which made his pink and round face even more ridiculous. The lemon water dribbled down his shoulders along the ends of his hair. The man raised his hand and was about to hit Gu Nian, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed, pulled violently, and he was thrown to the ground. The hard and cold marble floor hit his bones with a bang. The man gritted his teeth in pain, rolled on the spot, and scolded with a twisted expression: ¡°Who the fuck held my hand!¡± The pain was so intense that he couldn¡¯t get up, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Zhaoyang standing in front of him. He didn¡¯t know if it was because he was lying down that he felt that Chu Zhaoyang was very tall. His face was as cold as ice, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and his whole body exuded cold air. The man was stimulated by the ice-cold marble floor, and felt his whole body piercingly cold, so he quickly closed his mouth. At this time, a waiter came with a big bag of unknown things and put it on the table next to him. Chapter 13 The man shouted sternly: ¡°What are you doing! Security, security! Just get this person out of here.¡± As a result, the waiter put down the bag and left, as if he didn¡¯t hear him. The man struggled to get up, but Chu Zhaoyang kicked him in the face and his back. The back of his head slammed to the ground with a bang, making it painful to watch. The guests around looked at it, and many of them showed their grinning expressions in unison, even though they felt a lot of pain. The man¡¯s face also swelled up, and most of his face was red. He was stunned for a while, and he couldn¡¯t wake up after being smashed for a long time. Chu Zhaoyang looked down at him coldly, and asked indifferently, ¡°You are very rich?¡± The man finally woke up when he heard this, but he couldn¡¯t get up for a while, so he could only fall to the ground and point at Chu Zhaoyang, scolding: ¡°Is this the quality offered here! Manager, why don¡¯t you drive him away!¡± Chu Zhaoyang ignored him, and reached out his hand to take the bag on the table next to him with a heavy expression. When unwrapping, they heard the crisp sound of metal colliding inside. Seeing his hand reach in, what he took out was actually a handful of one-dollar coins, and a ¡°dang bang¡± sound came out with the light movement of his hand. The man was in shock, with a puzzled look on his face, Chu Zhaoyang raised his hand and smashed all the coins in his palm into the man¡¯s face. The coin slapped his face, and it was more painful than hail. Chu Zhaoyang had smashed his doughy face, but now he was smashed like this again, and he cried out in pain. The man raised his hand to hide but couldn¡¯t dodge the dense rain of coins. After Chu Zhaoyang smashed one, another one followed. It looked like just one dollar coin, but one couldn¡¯t help but throw a lot of money. They calculated from the number of coins, and the amount of money could not be underestimated. But Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face was expressionless, and it seemed that it wasn¡¯t money, but dirt. The man raised his arm to cover his face, but there were still many coins that smashed his face red. ¡°What are you doing! You lunatic! You are insane!¡± Chu Zhaoyang threw a handful of money into his face again, and then threw the bag aside. He tidied up his clothes slowly, and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll throw money at you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re sick!¡± The man finally took the opportunity to get up, but because of fear, he took two steps back cautiously, thinking that no one noticed, ¡°I¡¯m doing well here, why would you hit someone for no reason, and that as soon as you come up!¡± ¡°There are other guests.¡± Yan Beicheng slowly walked over, followed by Han Zhuoli and others, all of whom had come out to watch the excitement. Han Zhuoli found Gu Nian standing beside Chu Zhaoyang, and asked Yan Beicheng with his eyes, Yan Beicheng said, yes, this is the girl Chu Zhaoyang likes. Han Zhuoli came over: ¡°Girl, what kind of vision do you have, why do you have a blind date with such an idiot?¡± Didn¡¯t you see the rich and handsome Lao Chu next to you? Gu Nian: ¡°¡­¡± Who were these people! Unexpectedly, it was the blind date who asked this question for Gu Nian: ¡°Who are you, he has almost paralyzed me, he should mind his business!¡± Chu Zhaoyang thought to himself, Gu Nian liked him but felt that the gap between them was too great, so she did not dare to confess. He came to a blind date with a broken pot, trying to use a relationship to forget him. It¡¯s just such a short setback, how could this person be compared with him? But also, there were too few outstanding men like him, and it did take a lot of courage to like him. So, Chu Zhaoyang raised his hand expressionlessly and directly held Gu Nian¡¯s shoulder, took her into his arms, and looked at the man arrogantly. Chapter 14 ¡®What did you say?¡¯ Chu Zhaoyang raised his chin slightly and looked at him disdainfully. The blind date seemed to have understood something, so he pointed at Gu Nian and scolded: ¡°Since there is a man in your life, why do you have to come to a blind date and play with others?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, this is not over, I¡¯m going to sue you for assault!¡± ¡°What about evidence?¡± Chu Zhaoyang asked indifferently. The blind date pointed to the surroundings, ¡°There are so many people watching!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people around all bowed their heads. It was time to eat, drink, and chat. ¡°Stupid idiot, don¡¯t you know who this hotel belongs to? This hotel belongs to the Yan family, under the banner of Yanhui. The only ones who can call him brothers are those from the eight major families. People in the city who stand up against the eight major families will have the right to sue others? Your brain is flooded!¡± He didn¡¯t know who said all of this disdainfully. The blind date panicked for a while. He didn¡¯t expect these people to have such a background, and he had already become timid. ¡°Broken.¡± Chu Zhaoyang said lightly, without even the slightest expression. Some people who were familiar with the news of the eight major families recognized him. This man with a paralyzed face and who cherished words like gold was probably the one who was from the top eight families. Yan Beicheng was alive and well. Because of this, he paused for a while before nodding: ¡°Well, it¡¯s just broken.¡± ¡°What are you still doing, hurry up and drive him out!¡± Han Zhuoli greeted the security guard. The blind date pointed at Gu Nian with a bad face: ¡°You wait for me!¡± ¡° Then he was taken away by the security guard. Han Zhuoli looked at Chu Zhaoyang, and then at Gu Nian. Hehe, he even held a girl in his arms. Gu Nian also realized that she was taken into his arms by Chu Zhaoyang just now. She was surprised when she was pulled into his arms, but she was immediately distracted by the clamour of the blind date, and didn¡¯t care about Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s posture at that time. Now, the aroma of mint from Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s arms suddenly rushed towards her, filling her body like an invisible thick fog, tightly surrounding her. Obviously, the aroma of mint should be cool and refreshing, but at this time Gu Nian felt too hot, so she blushed, and tried to withdraw herself from his arms. For some reason, Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s arms tightened around her, looking down at her hot red ears, it was as if a sweet fragrance was slowly drifting towards her. A blazing light flashed in Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s eyes, and his scalding palm moved down her shoulder, clinging to her bare arm, and the pulp of his fingers moved down on her arm. Gu Nian felt as if her arm was about to burn. Wherever his fingers passed, it became unspeakably hot and numb, and she couldn¡¯t help trembling. Just as Gu Nian was about to dodge, his fingertips with electricity had slipped to her wrist, then he took advantage of the situation, and pulled her away. Gu Nian was surprised, but today she was wearing unfamiliar high heels, so she was not able to walk fast. Chu Zhaoyang took long strides, and Gu Nian was pulled along by him, so she stumbled a little while trotting behind him. Han Zhuoli¡¯s voice came from behind him, ¡°Hey, why did you leave without saying a word! Lao Chu, Lao Chu, just introduce her to your brothers first!¡± Gu Nian couldn¡¯t hear what Han Zhuoli said later. She was dragged to the parking lot by Chu Zhaoyang, and he walked straight to the black Bentley. Walking in a hurry, the slightly sharp heel suddenly stepped on a small stone on the bluestone surface. Gu Nian twisted her ankle and was about to fall, but was pulled by Chu Zhaoyang, so her whole person spun half a circle, and her back was pressed against the door of the black Bentley. Chapter 15 Warning 18+ content Gu Nian was startled, her eyes widened and she let out a soft cry. Before she had time to dodge, Chu Zhaoyang had already pressed her over. A long leg squeezed abruptly between her knees, his thigh was still pressing against her lower abdomen, and their feet were almost parallel. He still held her wrists and pressed them against the door. ¡°You¡­ what are you doing?¡± Gu Nian asked nervously, her face flushed red. She watched Chu Zhaoyang get closer, their bodies were almost stuck to each other, and she could even feel the firm and hot muscles of his thighs on her lower abdomen, even though it was through suit pants, it was still so obvious. Gu Nian didn¡¯t dare to look down, for fear of seeing something she shouldn¡¯t, but his face was close to her again, so close at hand. She didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion caused by being too nervous. She felt that the tip of their noses was about to touch. There was also a faint mint aroma in his breath, which felt particularly cool in this slightly sultry weather. With his breathing, it slowly sprinkled on her face, and her lips had become surprisingly hot. It was obvious that his behaviour was inappropriate. If it was another man, she would have slapped him by now. But at some point, both of her wrists were firmly held by him, and she couldn¡¯t move at all. Even her two legs couldn¡¯t move because of his long leg in the middle. However, Chu Zhaoyang still had a solemn expression on his face, and his expression was not affected at all. His black eyes were bottomless, and she could not see the slightest emotion in him. His whole person was solemn and serious. Even if Gu Nian wanted to scold him for being a hooligan, she wasn¡¯t able to say anything. He didn¡¯t speak, just looked at her deeply, without blinking. The gloomy eyes fell on her face, and her face was getting hotter and hotter. Just when he was staring at her so much that she couldn¡¯t stand it, Chu Zhaoyang slowly opened his lips: ¡°Came on a blind date?¡± Gu Nian lowered his eyes slightly uncomfortably, but then heard him ask again, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°What?¡± Gu Nian couldn¡¯t react for a while. Chu Zhaoyang, who seldom had the patience to say a few more words, was rarely calm and patient at this time, and asked, ¡°Why did you come for a blind date?¡± Gu Nian frowned, and even her mouth twitched. After a while, she said unhappily, ¡°Mr. Chu, I think this is my personal business, and it has nothing to do with you.¡± Chu Zhaoyang gave her a deep look, and said with a slumped face, ¡°I¡¯ll kiss you if you don¡¯t say anything.¡± Gu Nian: ¡°¡­¡± She was horrified, and there was no language to express her inner madness. Was there anyone who said such a threat with a sullen face? Just looking at his face, Gu Nian thought she had heard it wrong. Being threatened like this, she had only met one him in total, so Gu Nian also became angry: ¡°Why should I tell you, we are not familiar with each other!¡± Chu Zhaoyang rarely showed any emotion on his face, but he suddenly froze, squinted his eyes, and lowered his head directly. Gu Nian was startled, tilted her head and struggled: ¡°Chu Zhaoyang, what are you doing! We are outside! You let me go! You¡­you¡­why should I tell you!¡± But his hands were like cuffs. Anyway, she had graduated from the police academy seriously, but even she couldn¡¯t break free. Looking like a serious person, how could he do this! Gu Nian just focused on struggling, but did not see Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s eyes shining brightly, and her whole body was burning with fire. This was different from holding her in his arms when she had been catching the thief that day. Today was even denser than last time, she just grinded him like this, from top to bottom. Even so, a prairie fire was raised. Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes and kept chasing after her lips, his mouth was too dry, he only felt that her lips looked soft and moist, especially thirst-quenching, so he lowered his head and looked over. Chapter 16 Gu Nian didn¡¯t look at him, but felt that he was sticking very close, and said in a panic, ¡°I said, I said!¡± Chu Zhaoyang was only a short distance away from touching her lips. Hearing her words, he really wanted to ignore her and let the kiss continue. But seeing her dodging, there was nothing but regret in his heart. He pursed his lips, sucked in his mouth, licked his lips, and raised his head with unhappy eyes. Gu Nian looked up at him, annoyed, she really didn¡¯t know what was going on with Chu Zhaoyang. Why did he still want to know her private affairs and had even threatened to kiss her? ¡°My mother asked me to come, I didn¡¯t want to come.¡± Gu Nian replied reluctantly. ¡°So, you didn¡¯t want to have a blind date yourself?¡± Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s mood was a little better, and his words became longer. Gu Nian let out a heavy snort and said in an unpleasant tone: ¡°Mr. Chu, you helped me just now and took me out of the embarrassing situation. I¡¯m very grateful. But we are really not familiar enough to talk about private affairs. I¡¯m not familiar with it¡ª¡± Gu Nian glanced at the zero distance between the two, and her tone was stiff: ¡°That we can be so close.¡± Chu Zhaoyang pretended not to hear it, and still looked at her with a heavy gaze. The meaning was obvious, if she didn¡¯t say it, he won¡¯t let her go. Gu Nian really didn¡¯t know where she had provoked Chu Zhaoyang. He had nothing to do with her and still wanted to know what she was doing. It wasn¡¯t such a glorious thing, Gu Nian didn¡¯t start, and whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to come.¡± Although Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s face didn¡¯t change much, his mood was obviously different. The dark eyes showed a little bit of brilliance, and the whole person was like clouds and rain. He knew that she did not come to the blind date of her own free will. She liked him the most. Chu Zhaoyang thought happily, completely ignoring Gu Nian¡¯s resistance to him just now. Then, his hand reached out to Gu Nian again. Gu Nian had been scared out of the conditioned reflex by him, and jumped to the side like a needle, only to see that Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s hand was actually reaching for the car door. Gu Nian¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment. Chu Zhaoyang opened the car door, let Gu Nian sit inside, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you home.¡± ¡°No need¡ª¡± Gu Nian was about to refuse, but when she caught Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s persistent gaze, she got stuck and sat down spinelessly. Chu Zhaoyang was very satisfied, and his mood became more comfortable, but he did not immediately go around to the other side to get into the car, instead he leaned over into the passenger side. Gu Nian wanted to hide when she saw his hand stretched out. As a result, Chu Zhaoyang squeezed the seat belt beside her, and skilfully pulled it to the side of her leg and fastened it for her. The space inside the car was narrow, and when he came in like this, he almost filled the space here, and the aroma of mint kept coming in her nose. Gu Nian held her breath nervously. Now that the two of them were this close, as long as her chest rose and fell even a little, she would rub against his shoulder. Her tense lips trembled slightly, and she unconsciously licked her lower lip, while the smell of mint kept getting closer. The light in Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s black eyes suddenly turned hot, and a hot stream of heat rushed down. The fire that had not been suppressed just now rose again. The warm wind blew in from the open car door, blowing her hair, and wafting thinly under her nose, bringing a warm and sweet aroma. Her lustrous ears were burning as her hair fluttered. Chu Zhaoyang grabbed the seat belt, he was breathing heavily, and the hot breath sprayed all over her ears. Gu Nian was shivering from the heat, her ears had turned even redder, she wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide. Chu Zhaoyang watched the bright colour of her white ears, and couldn¡¯t help swallowing, breathing heavily. Chapter 17 The hot and dry lips seemed to brush her ears inadvertently, but without waiting for Gu Nian¡¯s reaction, he had already withdrawn, and he walked around to the other side with a straight posture. His lips seemed to carry the sweet fragrance of Gu Nian¡¯s ears. Gu Nian blinked and covered her ears with her hands, wondering if the brief touch just now was an illusion. She only felt as if something warm touched her ears, but it was not obvious. Even if she wanted to question Chu Zhaoyang, she didn¡¯t know how to broach the topic. So, she could only watch Chu Zhaoyang get into the car with a depressed expression, then she found that his face was still paralyzed and expressionless, as if nothing had happened, which really made Gu Nian even more depressed. Along the way, the inside of the car was very quiet, except for asking the address of Gu Nian¡¯s house at the beginning, Chu Zhaoyang didn¡¯t say anything after that. Gu Nian simply looked out of the window quietly. It wasn¡¯t until the Bentley drove into the community where Gu Nian lived that she said dryly: ¡°Just stop in front.¡± Her place was really not a high-end community, there was no security, no gate, and anyone could come in. Because of this, the residents living in this community were also not in good economic conditions. On weekdays, what they loved most was to gossip about other people¡¯s homes. Seeing someone having a good life at home would inevitably lead to jealousy. Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s Bentley was too eye-catching, even if the old people didn¡¯t know it, the young people did. If the neighbours saw it, she didn¡¯t know what gossip was going to spread, and Gu Nian didn¡¯t want to provoke such gossip. Chu Zhaoyang glanced at her and stopped the car silently. ¡°Thank you for sending me back.¡± Gu Nian said reluctantly. She was rescued by him in the hotel, and then sent back by him, but he didn¡¯t want her to thank him at all, and Gu Nian was also very embarrassed. Chu Zhaoyang looked at her indifferently and thought to himself: ¡®Seeing how she doesn¡¯t want to get out of the car, she must be reluctant to let me go. Shall I take her around again? In fact, I really miss her. But she seems to be too shy to look at me. Should I give her a hint?¡¯ Before Chu Zhaoyang could make a decision, Gu Nian got out of the car. Chu Zhaoyang: ¡°¡­¡± She was too shy, so she ran so fast. Chu Zhaoyang opened the car door, stood up, and called her, ¡°Gu Nian.¡± Gu Nian stopped and looked at him with a questioning look in her eyes. Chu Zhaoyang cleared his throat and thought about it for a while before he said, ¡°If you like me, say it, there may be unexpected gains, don¡¯t be too shy.¡± Gu Nian: ¡°¡­¡± What the hell was he talking about? What did he mean by looking at her with an encouraging look on his face now? Chu Zhaoyang waited in anticipation for a long time, but before Gu Nian could summon the courage to confess, he asked with a puzzled face, ¡°You have something else to do?¡± If you knew, why didn¡¯t you leave, what are you waiting for here. ¡°¡­¡± Chu Zhaoyang sat back with a dark face, closed the door hard, stepped on the accelerator deeply, and drove away. This girl was still too shy to confess to him face to face. Gu Nian: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Nian was confused by Chu Zhaoyang¡¯s outburst, so she shook her head and walked home. When Gu Nian returned home, she saw Mu Lanshu sitting in the living room with a gloomy face, and she ignored her when she went back. Gu Nian guessed that she might know about the blind date, so she sighed in her heart, took the initiative to walk over, and called out, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not too embarrassed to come back! What did I tell you when you went out? Be good, show the best side of yourself. It¡¯s alright now, your aunt Su called me just now, and was very upset. Saying that you were sarcastic there, and let people beat him! Tell me about you¡ª¡± Mu Lanshu stood up in a hurry, and poked Gu Nian¡¯s forehead with her index finger, ¡°How can you be so outrageous!¡±
