Biting the red lips

Chapter 52 disturbed her heart
She obviously told Aunt Zhou that it was Luo Xin who asked her out before going out. With Aunt Zhou's level of loyalty, she would definitely reveal this to Gu Huaichen.

Gu Huaichen knew this very well, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and deliberately tried to trick her. It was tiring to watch.

Sheng Wan shook her head in her mind, lowered her head and took a bite of the tender pan-fried veal steak without looking at the man opposite.

"If you don't want to say it, just say it." The man's magnetic words were a bit indulgent.

But Sheng Wan didn't believe that he would really indulge her. He was probably deliberately pretending to lower her vigilance so that she could make easy excuses.

"I heard that you and Sister Luo Xin are collaborating recently?"

Sheng Wan never liked passive defense, so she chose to take the initiative.

Gu Huaichen did not answer immediately, but stared at her with sharp eyes like a falcon, as if he wanted to see her through.

Sheng Wan didn't evade at all and looked at him calmly: "Why, can't you ask?"

Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes, his expression dark and unclear.

The news that the Gu and Luo families have joined forces to build a modern high-tech industrial park has gradually spread recently.

Many people want to come in and get a piece of the pie, and the Fu family is constantly making small moves.

This woman is the adopted daughter of the Fu family. She used to have little interest in the company, but today she is so active.

"Where did you hear that?" Gu Huaichen raised the corners of his lips slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at her.

After hearing this, Sheng Wan put down the tableware in her hand and looked directly at the man calmly with her clear eyes.

"You were drunk the day before yesterday. Sister Luo Xin sent you back. We chatted for a while."

As for whether the news about the cooperation between the Gu and Luo families was revealed by Luo Xin, Sheng Wan did not say clearly.

Let Gu Huaichen guess by himself!
Anyway, she didn't lie.

Gu Huaichen nodded noncommittally, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it, and then asked another person.

"You and Luo Lin have known each other since childhood? If I hadn't seen you in the Luo family's old house yesterday, how long would you have planned to hide it from me? Since you two know each other, why didn't you tell me before?"

A series of questions were thrown out, almost catching Sheng Wan off guard.

Sheng Wan took out a napkin on the table and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. After calming herself down, she explained in a very calm tone: "It's not that I didn't tell you on purpose. I actually didn't expect to see Luo Luo again." Brother Lin.”

"Since my father passed away, Brother Luo Lin and I have basically lost contact. Maybe it's because of my escape mentality. I don't really want to see him, because when I see him, I think of my father."

Sheng Wan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking of, and felt sad: "I remember that day was a weekend, and Brother Luo Lin was working on a project with his father in the staff dormitory of Shenzhen University."

"I complained that my father hadn't been home for a long time, so I stayed there. It rained heavily outside at night, and the school roads were full of water, making traveling very inconvenient. So my father suggested that Brother Luo Lin go Stay in the empty room on the third floor of the dormitory for one night and go back the next day.”

"Everything was fine originally, but who knew that in the middle of the night, dad..."

Sheng Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling heartbroken beyond measure.

When she opened her eyes again, big tears rolled out of her eyes instantly.

Sheng Wan sniffed, stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and choked with sobs: "...He committed suicide."

"He killed himself."

Sheng Wan murmured and repeated, "I was the first to find out. I was so frightened that I ran to Brother Luo Lin on the third floor for help and talked some nonsense. Brother Luo Lin probably thought I was suffering. The stimulation caused a very unstable mental state, so I was always concerned about it.”

"I really can't figure it out..." She lowered her head and sobbed, and the tears that she had finally stopped flowing out again, "I really can't figure it out, why dad committed suicide..."

Sheng Wan told the truth and lies. She did not say that she had doubts about the cause of her father's death. There was a slight discrepancy with the facts, but her sadness was not adulterated in the slightest.

She will never forget that thunderstorm night when her father hung from the old ceiling fan in the dormitory, shaking alone.

And she huddled under the dark bed, shivering and not daring to make a sound.Looking at the crying woman in front of him, Gu Huaichen frowned, and a hint of imperceptible pity flashed across his deep pupils.

After a long time, he stood up and came behind the woman, bent down and hugged her from behind, enveloping her whole body in his arms.

"Sorry, I shouldn't bring up your sadness."

The warm breath hit her ears, and Sheng Wan's body trembled involuntarily.

And the man's low and gentle apology seemed to drop a pebble into the calm lake of her heart, causing ripples.

Quietly disturbing her heart.

Seeing that the woman was silent, Gu Huaichen gently pecked away the tears at the end of her eyes and whispered softly in her ear.

"My baby, don't be sad anymore, I will be with you from now on."

This sentence was like the whisper of a devil, which shocked Sheng Wan and left her speechless for a long time.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and gradually regained her composure: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I just couldn't control my emotions at the moment."

After saying that, she stopped crying, put her cheek against the man's arm, and rubbed it gently.

Hearing the soft and delicate voice, the man's breath was choked and his eyes darkened.

With strong self-control, I could not hold back the person and pick him up.

Thinking that the woman hadn't finished her meal, Gu Huaichen let go of the hand holding her and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly, the food will be cold if you don't."

Originally, Sheng Wan was already used to Gu Huaichen's touch, at least that was what she thought before that.

But Gu Huaichen's approach just now made her get goosebumps uncontrollably.

The shuddering feeling in my back lingered for a long time.

Perhaps it was because he recalled the last scene his father left before his death.

Sheng Wan suddenly lost her initial desire to continue dealing with Gu Huaichen here.

Sheng Wan tried her best to control the discomfort in her heart. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile on her lips.

"Huaichen, you eat first, I won't accompany you anymore. I'm full and want to go to bed first."

"I see you have a lot left in front of you. You are really full..."

As Gu Huaichen spoke, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Sheng Wan's face.

Sheng Wan lowered her head slightly, and her soft back bent a little.

Even his eyes were filled with moisture that hadn't had time to dissipate, and his whole brow showed a bit of sadness and sadness.

Gu Huaichen's heart suddenly softened, as if he had been lightly poked by a thin needle, and there was some pain.

Although the pain was nothing, it still made Gu Huaichen's heart sink.

Gu Huaichen raised his eyes and looked at Sheng Wan in front of him with a complicated expression. His eyes just stayed on the woman in front of him.

After a moment of pause, he said in a low voice, "Okay, I understand, just have a good rest."

Sheng Wan nodded when she heard this. She stood up, pulled out her chair, and quickly went upstairs.

Sheng Wan could clearly feel that the scrutinizing gaze behind her had been staying behind her.
