"Don't drive yet. Let me tell you something. I'm afraid that if you say it while driving, something might happen to you if you get excited." Gu Nian finished speaking.

When Chu Zhaoyang heard this, he stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.

Why is it so serious that you are afraid that he will have an accident while driving?

Subconsciously, Chu Zhaoyang had bad thoughts in his mind.

But looking at Gu Nian's expression, he was very happy. He didn't know why he was so excited, but it didn't seem like he was doing something bad.

He calmed down, took a deep breath, and said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Nian grabbed his arm tightly, the corners of her smiling mouth twitched, and said excitedly: "My mother agreed to the two of us. She told me during dinner this morning. She also said that she would ask me to find time to take you home. Have a meal."

Gu Nian laughed out loud: "It's not the kind of shameless stay there like before, it's the real kind, the kind where you formally come to visit your parents!"

Chu Zhaoyang was stunned. Gu Nian had rarely seen him so stupid.

Gu Nian raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but saw no reaction from him.

No way, is this man stupidly happy?

"Chu Zhaoyang?" Gu Nian shouted. There was no response. He bit the bullet and shouted again, "Zhaoyang, Zhaoyang!"

Chu Zhaoyang blinked, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car without saying a word.

Gu Nian was taken aback, quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

"Why are you going?" Gu Nian caught up with him and asked.

"Meet the parents." Chu Zhaoyang answered honestly, "Although I have already had breakfast, I can have another meal."

Gu Nian: "..."

Who would meet their parents early in the morning and stay home for breakfast?

"No... don't be in a hurry!" Gu Nian said quickly, "It's better at night. We can chat more. If you go up now, can you say a few words?"

Seeing the serious expression on Chu Zhaoyang's face that he could overcome any situation, it was as if he was going to face the difficulties despite all the difficulties and dangers ahead.

This man is so energetic that it's really hard to hold him back.

There was no other way, so Gu Nian said, "If you don't leave, I'll be late for work."

Chu Zhaoyang looked at the time and then at Gu Nian: "Really not possible?"

Gu Nian couldn't help but laugh: "My breakfast is also finished, and it's too late for my mother to make it again."

Chu Zhaoyang was a little disappointed: "But I have a business trip this afternoon."

No wonder he was so anxious.

Gu Nian was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Nancheng." Chu Zhaoyang said.

Nancheng is very far south.

Every time he went on a business trip, it took a long time, and before Gu Nian could get along with him enough, he would leave again.

"How long will it take this time?" Gu Nian asked reluctantly.

"At least a week, but no more than two weeks." Chu Zhaoyang didn't want to leave and looked down at Gu Nian's troubled face.

He raised his hand and placed his thumb between her eyebrows to gently rub away her depression: "I will be back as soon as possible."

She knew that she was his concern, so he would say this every time he went on a business trip, and he did so.

"I know, but don't tire yourself. Just stick to the original plan. I'm fine here. There's nothing you need to worry about." Gu Nian said.

Chu Zhaoyang sighed, who said there was nothing he was worried about?

Isn’t Yan Lv always watching covetously from the sidelines?

He could follow them back yesterday, but Yan Lu followed them when he was away. How could he feel relieved?

Chu Zhaoyang looked at Gu Nian and sighed in his heart, this girl is so careless.

But there is no way, who can make him like it?

"Why are you so good at recruiting people?" Chu Zhaoyang raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

Although he didn't play hard and it didn't hurt, Gu Nian was very confused when he suddenly hit her like this for no reason.

She rubbed her forehead and muttered: "Who did I recruit?"

Didn't you just recruit him?

Chu Zhaoyang didn't intend to tell her about Yan Lu.

Of course, the less Gu Nian should know about his love rival, the better.

Chu Zhaoyang held the fingers she was rubbing her forehead with, and gently touched her forehead with the fingertips of his other hand.

It's just that I don't know that I have hired people, which is the most helpless thing.

"I will be back as soon as possible." Chu Zhaoyang was worried, "When I'm not here, you get off work and ask Liu Chengye to pick you up."

"It doesn't have to be so serious, right?" Gu Nian couldn't help but say.

If he is not here, the driver will pick him up. This is too...

"Just reassure me." Chu Zhaoyang said softly.

As long as he looked at her so softly, Gu Nian couldn't think of any objection.

He acted like a helpless father doting on his children, which made Gu Nian particularly speechless.

However, if he refuted it, it would be a waste of his efforts.

Therefore, Gu Nian had no choice but to agree obediently.

She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater today. The thick and wide collar made her face look particularly small.

The cold wind made the tip of her nose and eyes red. Chu Zhaoyang looked at it and didn't want to leave.

In the past, he had never felt like this when he was on a business trip. He was alone and left as soon as he could.

But now, with Gu Nian, there is concern.

He always thought that there was someone waiting for him here, looking forward to his early return.

So every time I go on a business trip, I feel extremely reluctant to leave.

He lowered his head and hugged Gu Nian into his arms.

For the first time, I was so worried that I didn’t even want to do work.

In ancient times, there was a king who was a beauty and never came to court early.

He still didn't understand why he was not even willing to go to morning court because of a woman, even if they never saw her again.

But now, he understands.

There is such a person in my heart, and I want to be with her all the time, and I don't want to be separated no matter what.

"Don't forget to call me." Chu Zhaoyang reminded.

He didn't talk much, but he was willing to listen to her voice.

Gu Nian's soft "hmm" sound came, Chu Zhaoyang looked over, his deep eyes fell on her lips, and he breathed heavily.

Gu Nian felt his hot, mint-scented breath approaching slowly, her head lowered unconsciously, and the blush on her cheeks spread all the way to her forehead.

"Old Mu!" Suddenly, I heard the angry voice of Aunt Chen, the neighbor in the next unit.

Gu Nian was taken aback and quickly pushed Chu Zhaoyang.

Chu Zhaoyang: "..."

Is it such a coincidence?

Reluctantly, he let go of Gu Nian, turned around, and saw that it was really Mu Lanshu.

She was towing a grocery cart, obviously going to the market.

Seeing the two of them, Mu Lanshu's expression could not be said to be good.

Chu Zhaoyang felt as if he had been caught and raped now.

Aunt Chen said with a smile: "Young people are so affectionate!"

Gu Nian called out guiltily: "Mom."

Chu Zhaoyang also immediately called out: "Auntie."

Even if Mu Lanshu agrees that the two of them are together, as a mother, it still feels uncomfortable to see her daughter hugging another man so intimately.

At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed, so he nodded to the two of them and said, "You haven't gone to work yet, won't you be late?"

Gu Nian quickly said, "We're leaving now."

After saying that, he pulled Chu Zhaoyang.

With Aunt Chen beside him, Chu Zhaoyang couldn't say anything. He could only say goodbye to Mu Lanshu respectfully and got in the car.

As the Bentayga drove out of Gu Nian's community, Chu Zhaoyang said, "I will pay a formal visit when I come back from my business trip."

***

Just when Gu Nian felt that everything was developing for the better, it was on the third night of Chu Zhaoyang's business trip.

Chu family.

Xiang Yulan sent Chu Tian to Lanyuan to watch the curry, and she sat with Chu Jiahong in the living room.

"Is this reliable this time? Don't be like Jiang Xiangxue again, it's not bad enough." Xiang Yulan now feels sick when mentioning Jiang Xiangxue.

Even Chu Jiahong was holding the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea. When he heard her words, the teacup trembled.

"This is absolutely reliable, not like Jiang Xiangxue." Chu Jiahong said, "I specifically asked the old man for this matter."

Xiang Yulan didn't expect that Chu Jiahong would actually run to find the old man.

When the old man was mentioned, Xiang Yulan also became nervous, completely losing his usual confidence in others.

"Do the old man and the old lady know about Gu Nian?" Xiang Yulan asked nervously.

"I don't know. The two elders don't go online, and the servants in the old house have always been strictly controlled. They never dare to gossip. Even if they see it online, they don't dare to talk nonsense in the old house." Chu Jiahong took a sip of tea and warmed up. The aroma of hot tea flowed into his stomach, making the mood that had become slightly worse just now due to the mention of the three words "Jiang Xiangxue" relaxed and pleasant.
