After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Gu Mian treated his wound just now, carefully took a little ointment with a sleeping stick, and applied it on the wound, as if she was afraid that it would hurt him.

In fact, the wound didn't hurt at all. What really hurt him was that he remembered that when he was eight years old, he had suffered an injury that was a hundred times more serious than this.That time, his knee was dripping with blood, and even Gu couldn't walk, and the woman didn't even look back at him.

What are you looking for him for now?
Yesterday afternoon, when he was about to get home, he was full of joy and thought about buying more ingredients, so that when Gu Mian came over, he would make something delicious for her, but he saw that woman in front of the villa.

She was still the face in his memory, unchanged at all.He used to think that she was the best mother in the world, beautiful and knowledgeable, and the friends in the village envied him very much.

The moment the woman turned her head, Lin Han and Zhao Chengcheng were stunned, because Ji Lingchuan looked five points like her, especially the eyebrows and eyes.

Even if Ji Lingchuan didn't say anything, they all guessed the woman's identity immediately.

However, Ji Lingchuan didn't seem to see her, walked forward expressionlessly, opened the door of the villa, and walked straight inside.

Lin Han and Zhao Cheng didn't join in the fun, they turned the car around and drove away.

The car sped away, and seeing Ji Lingchuan was about to close the door, the woman grabbed his hand and looked at him with red eyes: "Achuan, I'm mother, don't you remember me?"

What Ji Lingchuan was thinking at the time was that he would rather not remember...

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Lingchuan let go of Gu Mian and realized that it was a little late, so he got up and prepared to cook: "I haven't finished slicing the fish yet."

He was held down by Gu Mian before he could stand up completely. She looked into his eyes and didn't ask, but said, "Didn't I tell you that the wound should not be wet?"

"Then I wear gloves."

"I'm here to cook, isn't it pickled cabbage fish? I can cook." Gu Mian Mulu warned, "You just sit here honestly and don't do anything."

The girlfriend's eyes were full of "fierce", as if if he dared to move again, she would make him look good, so Ji Lingchuan was honest, leaned on the sofa, and gave him a look of "I'm obedient, don't be angry".

Gu Mian's expression softened, and she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen. After washing her hands, she sliced ​​the half of Ji Lingchuan's unfinished fish into fillets.

Her knife skills are not as good as Ji Lingchuan's, and she still remembers that Ji Lingchuan has something to hide from her, so she was a little absent-minded when cutting the fish fillets.

After the whole fish was processed, she breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her hands, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, thought for a long time, and finally dialed Zhao Cheng's number.

Ji's father once told her that Ji Lingchuan didn't like to tell people around him sad things, for fear that he would affect others.

Although she was a little angry at Ji Lingchuan's concealment, she was more worried.

When the phone was connected, Zhao Cheng's voice was full of doubts: "Miss Gu?" He didn't understand why Gu Mian would suddenly call him.

"Well, it's me." Gu Mian's voice was very low, worried that Ji Lingchuan would hear, "I want to ask you something, did something happen to Ji Lingchuan?"

"Ah?" Zhao Cheng was confused, "Didn't he go back to Beijing? What could happen? You're not with him?"

"No, what I mean is, did he encounter any difficulties at work, or something else, I feel like something is wrong with him. You are his assistant, you have been with him all the time, you should know?"

Something is wrong with Ji Lingchuan...

Zhao Cheng searched in his mind, suddenly remembered something, and said uncertainly: "I don't know if it's because of that."

"Which one?"

"Yesterday when we came back from the airport, we met a woman in front of the villa. Ji Lingchuan looked a lot like that woman, maybe it was his mother. However, he ignored her and left directly. Did the mother and son have a conflict? "

Even though Zhao Cheng has been Ji Lingchuan's assistant for several years, he still doesn't know his family situation, let alone his parents.He just expressed his guess based on what he saw with his own eyes yesterday.

Not to mention assistants, even Gu Mian, if Ji Lingchuan's father hadn't told her, she wouldn't know about Ji Lingchuan's mother.

Gu Mian pursed her lips, her heartbeat fluctuated violently, as if she couldn't believe that Ji Lingchuan's mother actually came to him.According to his father, his mother left when he was very young and never came back to see him.

No wonder Ji Lingchuan is so abnormal.

Why did his mother come here?Do you want to recognize Ji Lingchuan back?Or other reasons?What was Ji Lingchuan thinking?

Too many questions filled Gu Mian's mind, and her thoughts became a mess.

"Miss Gu? Miss Gu?" Zhao Cheng didn't hear the person on the other side of the phone talking, so he called her a few times in a row.

Gu Mian came back to her senses: "I see, thank you."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Ji Lingchuan walked over from the living room.He was worried that Gu Mian could not handle the fish well, as he knew her cooking skills very well.

As soon as Ji Lingchuan entered the kitchen, he saw her staring at a certain place in a daze. He approached quietly and raised his hand in front of her.

Gu Mian's eyes slowly focused on Ji Lingchuan's face.Was he so sad because he remembered what happened when he was a child?If she mentions this matter now, will it make him feel more uncomfortable?

Gu Mian was very conflicted in her heart, she didn't know whether she should say it or not.She closed her eyes, sighed a little weakly, reached out and hugged his waist, and pressed her face against his chest.

Ji Lingchuan was stunned by her sudden closeness, and raised her arms high: "Huh?"

He suddenly remembered that he and Gu Mian were in their hometown, and one day, when she and her father came back from the vegetable garden, she also plunged into his arms without warning.

Gu Mian was silent for a long time, then sighed, "I don't know how to slice fish."

Ji Lingchuan's eyes fell on the chopping board. She said she couldn't slice the fish, but she had already finished it. Although it was a little thicker than what he sliced, it didn't matter.

"Just because of this?" Ji Lingchuan laughed, "Could it be that Gu Mian feels that his title of 'Student Master' is threatened?"

Gu Mian didn't know what she was thinking, and said following his words: "Yeah, Xueba can't do everything." At least, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Ji Lingchuan: "Let me make dinner."

Gu Mian withdrew from his arms and put the apron on her body: "I'll do it, how about you guide me by the side?" In this way, he can talk to her more, and he won't be alone in thinking wildly.

Ji Lingchuan crossed his arms, like a master teaching an apprentice, moved his lips, and said a series of professional words: "Marinate the fish fillets first, put a little salt, cooking wine, egg white and starch, and it will take 10 minutes..."

Gu Mian obediently followed the steps he said, each step was completed perfectly.

Ji Lingchuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Not bad, very savvy."

Gu Mian: "I have done difficult experiments. Cooking is nothing to me. As long as I give detailed instructions, I can hand in a perfect score."

Such self-confidence is soaring, worthy of being a top student, Ji Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "I'm just waiting to try Gu Mian's skills."

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, it's not like he hasn't tasted her cooking before, it's like she's cooking for him for the first time.

One of the two was in charge of guidance, and the other was in charge of operation. A dish of fish with pickled cabbage was quickly prepared, and Gu Mian served it in a large white porcelain bowl.Finally, burn a little oil in the pot, take it up and pour it on it, and it suddenly sizzles, and the air is filled with a sour and fragrant smell.

Ji Lingchuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Gu Mian looked at him expectantly. After a while, his brows relaxed and he smiled: "It's perfect, you can be a teacher."

Gu Mian was triumphant: "What did I say? I told you not to underestimate my cooking skills."

The rice was already cooked, and she quickly cooked a dish of boiled green vegetables.The green vegetables were neatly stacked on a square porcelain plate. She boiled the sauce in the pot, poured it on top, and then announced that it was ready for dinner.

You don’t need much food for two people, a fish with sauerkraut is enough, appetizer and dinner, plus a vegetarian dish is more perfect.

So, Ji Lingchuan ate two bowls of rice with dignity.

During the meal, Ji Lingchuan asked, "Are you going back tonight?"

Gu Mian was stunned, she has been living at home recently, it's not good if she doesn't go back at night.But she was really worried about Ji Lingchuan being alone, so she thought for a long time and said, "I won't go back."

Ji Lingchuan took a piece of fish for her, and couldn't hide the smile on his lips: "Then stay here, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

-

In the deep night, Ji Lingchuan hugged Gu Mian into her arms, she was reading the book in her hand, while he was looking at her.

This is a book that Gu Mian picked up randomly from the study. She read it for a long time without turning a page, and Ji Lingchuan seemed to realize it: "Haven't read a page yet?"

Gu Mian turned the page slowly, and was about to say what was on her mind when Ji Lingchuan suddenly put his chin on the top of her head and said in a low voice, "I probably haven't told you about my mother, have I?"

Gu Mian's chest stagnates, is he going to confess to her?
"Well." She really didn't hear him mention it. What she knew was what Ji's father told her.

Ji Lingchuan told some things about his mother in a non-emotional tone, exactly the same as what Ji's father once told Gu Mian.Ji Lingchuan seemed relieved, because he was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Hearing these things again, Gu Mian imagined pictures in his mind, and Gu Mian's heart was the same as that day, a little bit tightened, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

After Ji Lingchuan finished speaking, he paused for a long time without hearing a response. He slowly lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. If he hadn't seen her eyes open, he would have thought she was asleep.

He thought about her reaction when she heard this incident, which might be shock, astonishment, sympathy, and distress, but he didn't expect that her eyes were only full of distress, not surprised at all.

Gu Mian lowered her eyelashes and did not hide anything from him: "Actually, I already knew."

Ji Lingchuan was stunned: "You, when did you know?"

Gu Mian: "Dad told me when I accompanied you back to my hometown during Chinese New Year. He told me a lot. I'm sorry, A Chuan, I... At that time, I shouldn't have gone to England without telling you, I don't know... "

As she spoke, she became a little incoherent.

Ji Lingchuan raised a finger to her lips: "This is the second time you said 'sorry' to me today. With our relationship, are you sure you want to tell me this?"

The book in Gu Mian's hand had already fallen to her lap and closed automatically.She snuggled into his arms, her nose sour: "I didn't keep my promise, I let go of your hand, I didn't know that would hurt you."

Ji Lingchuan pursed his lips. Although he was disheartened for a moment at the beginning, fearing that Gu Mian would disappear into his world, he never blamed her.

He recalled Gu Mian's attitude towards him during this period, and suddenly understood.Because she learned those things from her father, she didn't care about his advances. She would always satisfy his requests, and some requests were even unreasonable. She just gave him a look and then complied with him.
