After the innocent single-soldier king was picked up by the drama queen

Gu Chu sat next to the thick wooden desk, holding his head and looking at the documents. Her skin is very white, with a light cyan color under her eyelids, her thin eyebrows are lightly frowned, and her lips are very light in color.

To be precise, she was sick.

When Zhen Yuanchao came in, he saw Gu Chu looking as peaceful as a beautiful flower shining on the water.

"The housekeeper said you didn't have lunch." He sat across from her.

When Gu Chu heard the voice, he raised his eyes to look at him and continued to flip through the documents.

"Are you going to the island too often?"

"The elders invited me here," the man's brown eyes fell on her face through the glasses, and he stated calmly, "I have lost weight and become ugly."

Gu Chu touched the hair on his cheek. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his brows were slightly raised. The meaning on his lips was unclear, "Brother, you came here to find trouble for nothing, right?"

Quietly and lightly.

He said, "Something happened." He added, "Qin Chaomu is getting engaged."

A gust of wind blew by, a rustling sound came from the window, and the mottled tree shadows swayed gently along the circular arch window.

The tip of the pen paused, and Gu Chu's whole body became stiff. Except for the chirping of insects and birds, everything around him seemed to fall into silence.

Zhen Yuanchao said slowly: "It's Second Master Qin's distant niece, Meng Xiaoyue." After a pause, he added: "Lilissa made a big fuss over this. It's strange that he didn't choose Lilisha."

"Yeah..." She still held the pen in her hand, holding it tightly, her slender fingers turning white. It seemed that with such force, she could vent the emotions accumulated in her body that were about to overflow, and repeated: "It's a little strange..."

Zhen Yuanchao just looked at her quietly.

He stood up and walked over, bent down, hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice in her ear: "How about I don't ask him again, and I won't regret it." He added: "This way, I won't have to ask him again in the future. Thinking of him."

Gu Chu shook his head, his eyes were moist, and his voice was calm, "It's not necessary."

She called him, went to see him, and asked Silver Dragon to bring him a message... But how could he let go of the hatred of the previous generation, and how could she make him let go.

He had never had any interaction with her in his previous life. With such heavy hatred, how could she dare to test whether he loved her more or hated her more.

……

In the next month, Gu Chu became even busier. All his emotions were sealed into the deepest part of his heart, and he turned back into the ruthless and cold person he was.

And Qin Chaomu's engagement party also kicked off.

The engagement banquet was held in a five-star hotel.

Lights, wine, music... the atmosphere of high society, grand and luxurious, the two people danced the first opening dance in front of everyone.

Meng Xiaoyue was happy. It wasn't until she stood under the dazzling spotlight, surrounded by this man's arms, that she felt real in a daze.

She is engaged to Qin Chaomu. She will be his wife in the future and the person he will spend the rest of his life with...

That man was better than all the men she had ever seen, gentle, elegant, considerate and meticulous...

Most of the parents on both sides knew each other and did not need too much introduction. This was the scope of Qin Chaomu's consideration. He just wanted to be simpler and faster, as if he could completely abandon anyone by forcing himself to accept new women.

On the contrary, Mr. Qin seemed particularly happy. He was used to Qin Chaomu's silence, and talked with relatives and friends with a glowing face, just like he was marrying his daughter.

Until nightfall.

The hustle and bustle of the whole day finally calmed down after seeing off the last guest.

Qin Chaomu drove Meng Xiaoyue home.

When he arrived at the Meng family villa, the man got out of the car and opened the door for Meng Xiaoyue, then thoughtfully put his suit on her and took her into the main house.

He also sat with Father Meng and Mother Meng for a short while, advancing and retreating in a measured manner in his words and deeds, and even gave him a gift when he left.

Everything was as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times without any mistakes.

After passing through the spacious courtyard, Qin Chaomu's expression gradually became colder. As soon as he opened the car door, there were hurried footsteps behind him. Meng Xiaoyue almost ran into the man's back because she ran in time. She blushed and took a step back, as if she was not used to this closeness.

"I..." Meng Xiaoyue looked at me for a long time without saying a word. She lowered her head and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Qin Chaomu looked at her and said nothing.

He has a habit of waiting for others to speak.

He could even easily figure out what others were about to say, except Gu Chu.

He wondered if he should give Meng Xiaoyue a kiss goodbye or a hug like a real lover...

Thinking of this, the man's fingertips holding the car door gradually turned white, and his lips pursed into a thin line.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Meng Xiaoyue raised her little face and looked at the handsome man with hope. She seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said: "If you are not free, it doesn't matter. I can go with Xiaoshuang, but Buy some jewelry to match your wedding dress..."

Her voice gradually became softer, she was shy and cautious, and she would secretly glance at the man in front of her whom she longed for.

Qin Chaomu looked at her, the knuckles of his fingers in his trouser pockets turned white, and his dark eyes were calm.

He felt that he should show a little joy, but he couldn't seem to do it.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

Meng Xiaoyue's eyes lit up instantly, "I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Like a shy girl, she walked back with three steps.

Qin Chaomu stood for a few minutes until the night wind chilled his whole body, then returned to the car and started the engine.

He stared at the road ahead in a daze. After a few seconds, he seemed to remember what he was going to do. He touched a cigarette and lit it. He seemed to be smoking too hard and choked a few times.

On both sides are fleeting mottled landscapes.

Qin Chaomu suddenly thought of Gu Chu.

If... is their relationship now public, is she also promised to be engaged to him...

The man's expression was always indifferent, and only a few scarlet and green smoke on his fingertips flickered in and out, except for a pair of red eyes.

……

The next afternoon.

Qin Chaomu went to Meng's house to pick him up as promised.

The two of them went to the largest jewelry store. Because the wedding was scheduled in a hurry, they didn't have time to find a jewelry master to customize it. Meng Xiaoyue was very tolerant about this, and didn't even say a pretentious word. She always looked gentle. .

Just as Mr. Qin said, he is an excellent marriage partner.

Meng Xiaoyue was choosing at the counter.

Qin Chaomu sat in the rest area, leaning slightly on the sofa, but not completely, with a unique elegance and a vague sense of alienation.

Outside the transparent window,

A beautiful little girl in a skirt ran over, followed by a woman and an old woman.

"Oh, she's so naughty, and she's not afraid of traffickers kidnapping her away." The child's mother sighed.

"What can a five-year-old know? Hurry up and chase him back."

The little girl ran past the window.

Qin Chaomu looked at the girl jumping in the distance, steadily and calmly, until the little girl disappeared from sight, he got up and walked out. (End of chapter)
