Biting the red lips

Chapter 57
After they finished their meal, the waiter served desserts such as ice cream and pudding.

The steaming coffee was placed in front of the two of them. Luo Xin looked at Gu Huaichen and said softly, "I remember that you like to drink cappuccino, so I ordered it in advance."

"That's true. Thank you, Sister Luo Xin."

Gu Huaichen picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. The aroma of the coffee spread in his mouth, mellow and with a long aftertaste.

Gu Huaichen drank coffee and said no more after thanking him. There was silence between the two of them again.

A quiet atmosphere spreads in this small space.

Luo Xin suddenly remembered something, sighed slightly, and said, "Xiao Chen, are you so bored staying here with me? Why aren't you talking now?"

Luo Xin glanced at Gu Huaichen in front of him and looked at him teasingly.

"No, why would Sister Luo Xin say that?"

Gu Huaichen put down the cup in his hand and looked at Luo Xin.

Luo Xin's eyes narrowed and she looked at him faintly. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's going on? Are you too busy at work or are you in a bad mood?"

"I……"

Just as Gu Huaichen was about to explain, Luo Xin interrupted him and continued, "You must be in a bad mood. Ever since I saw you today, I noticed that your brows have been frowning together."

"Okay, I think I'm in a good mood."

When Gu Huaichen heard this, he looked obviously stunned for a moment. When Luo Xin said this, he remembered what had upset him last night.

However, he had no intention of discussing these things with his wife.

Luo Xin on the side seemed to be unaware, paused, and continued to speak.

"Did you and Sheng Wan quarrel? It should be said that there was a conflict between the young lovers?"

Hearing what Luo Xin said, Gu Huaichen suddenly raised his head, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Luo Xin's eyes.

Even across a table, Gu Huaichen could still clearly see the scrutiny in Luo Xin's eyes.

Gu Huaichen suddenly felt unhappy. He looked at Luo Xin coldly, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line because of too much force.

Because of Gu Huaichen's silence, Luo Xin's brows began to frown.

Her eyes swept around Gu Huaichen and then looked back. She was silent for a moment, twitched the corners of her lips, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay if we quarrel. Some friction is normal between lovers, Sheng Wan is a good girl, you two need to communicate more, there may be some misunderstandings..."

Before Luo Xin could finish speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by Gu Huaichen.

There was a hint of impatience on his tough face, and he said with a bit of hostility, "The relationship between us is very good, and there are no quarrels or conflicts. Sister Luo Xin doesn't need to care."

"Besides, this is my private matter."

Luo Xin was stunned when he heard this.

After a moment, as if nothing happened, she said frankly, "Since Xiao Chen doesn't like to hear it, I won't say anything anymore. Don't be angry."

Luo Xin calmly raised the cup and took a few sips of the coffee in his hand.

Gu Huaichen met Luo Xin's gaze, and said softly "hmm" in a distant and polite manner.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There will be an important meeting in the company later that requires my attendance."

Gu Huaichen raised his hand and glanced at the time before speaking.

Luo Xin still curled her lips and put down the cup with an elegant and casual expression.

"It's so rare to come out and get together, why don't you want to stay with me for a little longer?"

"It doesn't matter, you are a busy person now, and your work is of course more important than my sister." Luo Xin lowered her head slightly, with a look of disappointment on her face.

Seeing this, Gu Huaichen could only give up his original plan.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Luo Xin, I take back what I said before. I'm very happy to be able to stay with you."

Luo Xin blinked, with some expectation in his eyes.

"That's good. You used to rely on me."

The expression on her face changed, and she spoke with a look of reminiscence, "Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if you still remember it..."

Seeing Luo Xin's appearance, Gu Huaichen couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He said doubtfully, "Just tell me, Sister Luo Xin, I won't forget it."

Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows lightly, showing some interest.

"When we were in middle school, you always skipped class and came to my school to see me."

Luo Xin's tone was teasing, and he spoke slowly.

"You didn't attend class well before and always ran towards me. But the teacher found out and reported it to the old man..."

Listening to Luo Xin's words, Gu Huaichen's thoughts suddenly drifted to a long time ago.

He had just begun to fall in love at that time, and was immediately attracted by the considerate, youthful and charming Luo Xin.

During those days, he was always following Luo Xin, and even skipped school to find Luo Xin.

Looking back now, those strong feelings at that time seem to have been washed away completely with the passage of time.

"Yes, I was still a young boy who was ignorant at the time, but I caused you a lot of trouble, Sister Luo Xin. Looking back now, I'm really sorry."

Gu Huaichen's voice was low and he looked at Luo Xin with a smile in his deep eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked much happier.

"When the old man found out about this, he punished me to face the wall and think about my fault. I remember I stood facing the wall for a long time. Thanks to Sister Luo Xin coming to intercede, the old man was no longer angry."

"The old man is also thinking about your studies. You always skip school and it affects your studies."

Luo Xin couldn't help but smile wider as he recalled what happened before.

However, at that time, Gu Huaichen was still childish. Although he was good-looking and had delicate features, he was far from as handsome and calm as he is now.

"But now, you don't have to worry about these things anymore. Xiaochen has grown up. No matter what you do, no one will punish you anymore."

Luo Xin held his chin with one hand and looked at Gu Huaichen meaningfully.

Gu Huaichen knew what Luo Xin meant. He said with a cold expression, "Sister Luo Xin said yes, but I was too reckless at the time. This kind of mistake will not be made again..."

"Oh, who do I think I am? Isn't this Luo Xin?"

Before Gu Huaichen finished speaking, a clear male voice came from behind.

Luo Xin looked up and was stunned.

The man behind him continued unceremoniously, "Luo Xin is really a busy man. He has so many things to worry about just after he came back. If I remember correctly, you just went to beat up Sheng Wan yesterday."

The man stepped forward, pulled out the chair, and sat down.
