Marriage first and love later: Wife is hard to chase

Chapter 337 Calling

The butler of the Duan family shook his head with a smile, and looked lovingly at Duan Shunian who was eating, "Why do I want you to accompany me as an old man, you should find someone to marry quickly and settle down."

"Uncle Liu, do you not like me anymore?" Duan Shunian put down the snack in his hand, and looked at the old man opposite with displeasure.

Butler Liu laughed, "How could that be, you are the one I like the most, but ah, girls still want to get married and have children after all. Finding a man who loves you to spend the rest of your life with is the most important thing."

Duan Shunian lowered her head, she thought of Gao Jinnan, "But I can't find that person."

"There are so many people in the vast crowd, some you love, and some love you. Think about it, how lucky it is to meet someone who likes each other among so many people." The housekeeper was melancholy He said, as if he was missing something, got it, or didn't get it, who knows.

In the past, she might be able to say that she was lucky. At that time, she liked Li Heqi, and Li Heqi also liked herself. Now it's just her own wishful thinking. Looking back on the days when she wanted to get along with Gao Jinnan, she didn't regret it at all.

She has let go of all unwillingness, the person she likes, why can't she look at herself more, she doesn't think so anymore.

What she thinks is that love is a beautiful thing, and she has enjoyed it before, so don't care whether the ending is good or bad.

Duan Shunian was in a good mood, swept away the previous boredom, picked up a piece of snack, and smiled slyly at Butler Liu, "Thank you, Uncle Butler."

After leaving the kitchen, she stuffed all the snacks in her hand into her mouth at once. Duan Shunian didn't pay attention and choked all of a sudden. She held on to the handrail of the stairs and wanted to go upstairs, but now she coughed and tears came out , can't even walk.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of big hands appeared from behind, patting her back and giving her comfort.

After a while, Duan Shunian recovered, she bent down to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and turned her head to thank, "Thank you..."

"Thank you" just said one word, the rest was held back by Duan Shunian, she looked at the man who was a head taller than her, "Why are you here?"

Gao Jinnan leaned against the wall, tilted his head and looked at her, "Just as soon as I helped you, you turned your face and refused to recognize anyone."

Duan Shunian blushed, and lowered her head in shame, "I didn't, I was just too..."

"You forgot? I promised your aunt to stay for dinner." Gao Jinnan raised his eyebrows, his flirtatious peach blossom eyes were full of charm, and his pupils were radiant, attracting people to give up everything for him.

Duan Shunian nodded, sticking out his tongue, thinking in his heart that he had actually forgotten, but of course he would not admit it, and retorted, "How could I forget!"

The arc of the sharp eyebrows was even better, as if asking her if it was true.

Gao Jinnan was funny, he didn't even feel the curve of the corner of his mouth, "I came to you to tell you that I'm leaving."

Duan Shunian's relaxed facial muscles tensed all of a sudden, "Gone? Where are you going?"

Gao Jinnan stood up, looked directly at Duan Shunian, "Go back to Gao's house."

Just three words made Duan Shunian feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was so cold that she couldn't breathe, and the cold feeling went all the way to the bottom of her heart.

He agreed to stay, but said he wanted to go back to Gao's house. Qiao Zhi'en was indeed more important to him than himself. Even if he promised something, he could easily go back on his word.

Gao Jinnan didn't intend to stay in the first place, he agreed with Zhong Yuhua that he just wanted to distract Duan Shunian and test her aunt, but he didn't know that this veiled concern actually gave her an illusion.

Duan Shunian staggered, she avoided Gao Jinnan's hand that was reaching out to hold her, and leaned against the railing of the stairs as if exhausted, "Go, don't appear in front of me again."

Listening to her words, Gao Jinnan acted like an enraged leopard. He tightly grabbed Duan Shunian's shoulder, "What are you talking about! You want to get rid of me so much?"

Duan Shunian didn't resist, and let her pinch herself, like an unconscious puppet, she looked at Gao Jinnan sadly, "Shouldn't I tell you this sentence? You should go back quickly Find Qiao Zhien."

She turned her head, who knows, how much effort she used to say this, she could feel the sound of blood dripping from her heart.

"Then I will do as you wish." Gao Jinnan let go of her, took a step back, stepped on the thick carpet with his leather shoes, and his muffled voice made people feel even more depressed.

Without Gao Jinnan's support, Duan Shunian slid down and sat on the carpet. Regardless of her swollen knee, she stayed silent and did not check the injury, "Let's go, hurry up!" Let's go."

I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will feel sorry for myself and say something to keep you. Can't you let me go and give me some dignity?
Duan Shunian wouldn't say these words even if he was dead, he could only hear them when he rotted in his stomach.

Gao Jinnan wanted to care about her, but he was afraid that she would resist, so he could only watch her sitting on the ground with her shoulders drooping, and she was not at all energetic.

Qiao Zhi'en did call him, and he also promised to go back immediately, but he couldn't rest assured that Duan Shunian was like this. He wanted to stay, but he was afraid that something would happen to Gao Zhai.

It is impossible for a person to divide his heart into two halves, and it is impossible to share his heart with two people at the same time. He can only choose one of them, and the other can only be cruelly discarded.

Rationality and sensibility are at a stalemate, Gao Jinnan is at war with heaven and man, he really doesn't know what to do, he wants to stay but is worried about Qiao Zhi'en, if he doesn't stay but is worried about Duan Shunian, he is in a dilemma, this is his current situation Alright.

Thinking wildly, his mind was a mess, Gao Jinnan felt that he could no longer think.

The air was quiet, and suddenly the phone in his pocket rang again, Duan Shunian was also attracted by the sound and raised his head, looking at him.

Gao Jinnan looked at the caller ID on the screen, hesitating whether he should answer it or not, Qiao Zhien must be urging himself again when he called, he had a headache, and if he didn't answer, he was afraid that something would happen to her again.

Duan Shunian looked at him indecisively, a little annoyed, he would only show this expression for Qiao Zhi'en.

It must be her who called. Thinking of this, she couldn't help being mean, "Pick it up, why don't you answer it, your sister Zhien is still waiting for you."

Answer the phone, let me finally give up, let me see the way you talk to Qiao Zhien, let me know that you will be gentle, but gentleness is never for me.

Gao Jinnan was so stimulated by her that he gritted his teeth. This woman has improved in provoking him!
"Okay!" Gao Jinnan pressed the call button after saying one word, and connected the phone in front of Duan Shunian.

"Brother Nan..." As soon as the phone was connected, Qiao Zhien's aggrieved voice came over. The thick nasal voice sounded like he had been crying.

Duan Shunian looked at Gao Jinnan's pent-up anger, which suddenly dissipated. She had never felt so relaxed. Gao Jinnan was really worried about Qiao Zhi'en. Hidden in his uneasiness.

"Won't you let me listen? I want to know what you guys are talking about." Duan Shunian's face was pale. Although she maintained a smile on her face, her trembling voice showed her fragility.

It seemed that in the next second, she would be unable to hold on and would be blown away by the wind. This terrible feeling made Gao Jinnan feel chills in his heart.

He moved his thumb slowly and pressed the hands-free button. Qiao Zhien's voice filled the quiet stairwell, "Brother Nan, are you listening?"

Gao Jinnan opened his bitter mouth, and replied mechanically, "I'm here."

I am here……

Just two words calmed Qiao Zhien's irritable mood. She was a little happy, and said, "Brother Nan, I seem to have heard Miss Duan's voice. You... are you together now?"

When his name was mentioned, Duan Shunian smiled, and said, "It's me, Ms. Qiao, but Mr. Gao is going back to Gao Zhai soon, don't worry."

The voice did not fall, and both of them heard a rapid breathing from the receiver, mixed with electric current, and the sound was very loud.

Duan Shunian glanced at Gao Jinnan, but he didn't respond at all. Since that was the case, she couldn't say anything more, she could only quietly listen to the slight sound of electric current and the occasional sound of breathing on the other end of the phone.

She didn't understand, didn't Gao Jinnan like Qiao Zhi'en, why didn't he go to comfort her, or get up and turn off the phone immediately, leave here, and go back to Gao's house to be with Qiao Zhi'en.

He didn't do anything, he just stared at his phone in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

This man is getting more and more difficult to understand. Although he used to look a bit colder, he always showed his happiness and anger, unlike now, even if there are thousands of thoughts hidden in his heart, he will not show it.

The call time on the screen kept increasing, and finally Qiao Zhi'en couldn't stand it anymore, and she yelled, "Brother Nan, I miss you so much, come back soon, okay?"

Gao Jinnan's eyes narrowed, he looked at the screen as if he was looking at Qiao Zhi'en, and said softly, "I'm going back now, don't get excited, wait for me at home obediently."

He comforted Qiao Zhi'en, because he knew that she was already on the verge of collapse. At this time, there was no one around her, and whatever she did might lead to an irreversible ending.

How can I repeat the same mistakes? It is enough to experience that kind of torture once.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back obediently." Qiao Zhi'en said cautiously, for fear that all this was a dream.

Gao Jinnan looked at the blacked-out screen, put his hands on his head, put his fingers in his hair, and pulled his hair fiercely, as if this would reduce the pain in his heart.

From the beginning to the end, Duan Shunian only said one word. During this long call, but she didn't say a few words, she only felt depressed.

Duan Shunian tried her best to ignore the sadness in her heart, she forced a smile on her face, and pretended to be generous and said, "Hurry up and go back, she should be in a hurry."

After speaking to Gao Jinnan, she muttered to herself again, "Miss Qiao really needs you."
