long-term marriage

Chapter 37

Qiao Zhi was woken up by the thunder. She looked at her watch and it was already past seven in the morning. The rumbling thunder was mixed with lightning, and the dark clouds were thick, but the heavy rain hadn't come down yet!

Gu Yechen was falling asleep with his arm around her waist, Qiao Zhi didn't dare to move, she knew that he was always alert when sleeping, it was rare for him to sleep so deeply, she was afraid that she would wake him up if she moved!
Opening her eyes and staring boredly at the beautifully patterned ceiling, Qiao Zhi's face suddenly turned redder. The events of last night flashed through her mind like a movie, the big hands on her waist and the fiery body behind her. It seemed to be a stove that coaxed her whole body to be hot.

"What are you thinking?" His somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from his ear!As if a child was caught stealing candy, Qiao Zhi buried her face deeply in the pillow and remained silent.

Gu Yechen was still a little confused, his eyes hadn't opened yet, he stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, rubbed his head against her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Sleep a little longer!"

His shallow breath hit her ears, bringing a shiver. Qiao Zhi was a little ashamed to face him, she gently pushed his hand away, and was about to get up, but she forgot that she was not naked, so she couldn't help crying He got into the quilt again.

Gu Yechen narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, slightly hooked his big hands into his arms, and put his lips against her ears, "Where do you want to go?"

The two people in the quilt were both naked, Qiao Zhixin jumped slightly, bit her lower lip lightly, her body stiffened and did not dare to move.

Today is Sunday, and because of the weather, everyone generally got up a little late. When Qiao Zhi went downstairs, Xu Yafei was helping Gu's mother to put breakfast on the table, and Yan Mu had already woken up and was standing with Gu's father. Playing Tai Chi at the garden gate, the little body still looks good!
Seeing Qiao Zhi going downstairs, Xu Yafei raised a smile and said hello, "Qiao Zhi, good morning!"

Qiao Zhi smiled back, and Gu's mother greeted her, "Just came over for breakfast, where is Xiaochen? Why haven't you come down yet?"

Xu Yafei also looked behind Qiao Zhi when she heard the words.

Qiao Zhi blushed a little, and stepped forward to take the bowl from Gu's mother, pretending to be calm, "He hasn't woken up yet, and said he wants to sleep more."

After returning home, Gu Yechen kept the habit of getting up at six o'clock every day, and there was never such a situation where he didn't see anyone after eight o'clock.

Although Gu's mother was a little puzzled, she didn't ask any further questions.

The family sat down to eat. At the dinner table, Gu's father asked Xu Yafei about his plans. Xu Yafei thought for a while before saying, "Uncle Gu, I just returned to China and I don't know much about the domestic situation. Can I work in your company for a while first?" ?”

Xu Yafei's proposal caught people off guard. Gu's mother tossed the porridge slightly, and glanced at Gu's father. Qiao Zhi was passing the bread to Yan Mu with no expression on her face.

Father Gu didn't seem to notice it, and shook his head and sighed seriously, "Of course you are welcome to come to uncle's company, but now the company uncle can't make the decision, and now it's all up to Gu Yechen, you If I want to go, I have to lower my face and beg him, how about this, uncle will arrange another company for you, so as not to have to see his cold face!"

Gu's father didn't care what he said, as if he was very reluctant to talk to Gu Yechen, so Xu Yafei couldn't speak anymore, and just smiled, "Okay, then I will follow Uncle Gu's arrangement!"

Mother Gu gave her a deep-fried dough stick, "Eat more, play for two days first, and talk about work later!" Xu Yafei smiled and nodded.

Everyone was eating and gossiping about family affairs until Gu Yechen got up and went downstairs.

When Gu's father raised his head to pick up the food, he happened to see Gu Yechen who came down from upstairs, and he said, "Yo, the young master still knows how to get up?"

The people at the dining table all looked over after hearing the words. They were dressed in gray and white casual clothes, their thin hair was scattered between their foreheads, and there was a lazy atmosphere all over their bodies, which lacked the usual coldness.

Gu's mother rolled her eyes at Gu's father, "My son is so busy on weekdays, what's the matter with sleeping more? Could it be that he is lazy all day like you and not doing his job?"

Father Gu was a little anxious when he heard that, "I'm not doing my job properly? I..."

"Dad, drink milk!" Qiao Zhi passed Gu's father's cup in a timely manner, interrupting Gu's words.

Father Gu snorted, took a sip of milk, and muttered softly, "For my daughter's sake, I don't care about you..."

Gu's mother just pretended not to hear, busy serving porridge for Gu Yechen.

While talking, Gu Yechen had already arrived at the dining table, and Xu Yafei greeted, "Brother Yechen!"

"Morning!" Gu Yechen replied to her lightly, then sat down beside Qiao Zhi, picked up half of the steamed stuffed bun on Qiao Zhi's plate, took a bite, raised her eyebrows, "It's stuffed with mushrooms."

The four people at the dinner table all looked over, Qiao Zhi blushed, there were still small tooth marks of hers on the bun, he didn't know how to avoid it at all, the little hand under the table couldn't help pinching his arm.

Gu's father and mother naturally didn't miss the small movements of the two of them, they looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

Xu Yafei looked at the interaction between the two, with a look of darkness in his eyes, lowered his head and continued to eat, but the delicious breakfast was a bit tasteless.

Gu Yechen didn't change his expression, he put a sugar bag in Qiao Zhi's plate, "Eat some more!"

Qiao Zhi turned her head and stared at him secretly, and whispered, "I won't eat, you can eat by yourself."

Gu Yechen smiled lightly, without forcing it, and lowered his head to eat.

After breakfast, it was almost nine o'clock, and the heavy rain finally came down. Qiao Zhi was teaching Yan Mu to paint in the living room, Gu Yechen was sitting next to the two of them with a notebook to deal with emails, Xu Yafei and Gu's mother were sitting in the living room chatting .

It was raining heavily outside the house, the sky was dark, rainy days always make people tired, Yan Mu raised his little hand and yawned, Qiao Zhi laughed and patted his little head.

"Hey, Tai Ling, this brat, unexpectedly got a girlfriend quietly. It seems that old Tai has something on his mind..." Gu's father, who was reading a newspaper at the side, suddenly said.

"Girlfriend? Tai Ling has a girlfriend?" Gu's mother was a little overjoyed, and took a look at the newspaper in Gu's father's hand, "It's true, but he was too careless and was caught in the face. "

girlfriend?Qiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat twice, she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling, she looked sideways at the newspaper in Gu's mother's hand, in the newspaper Tai Ling was kissing a woman standing under a neon light, with a bar in the background, secretly filmed by someone Although it was not very clear, it was still very clear that the slender woman in the photo was Su Zi.

Although Qiao Zhi didn't ask Ye Qing about the relationship between her and Tai Ling, she didn't feel the slight affection between the two of them. Some time ago, she wanted to warn Ye Qing, but later she found out Tai Ling was a good friend of Gu Yechen, and Gu Yechen also assured that Tai Ling and Su Zi must have nothing to do with each other, so there was no intervention from many families, but what happened to this photo?
Although Qiao Zhi doesn't work in IT, she can tell whether a photo has been uploaded or not. The photo in the newspaper was actually taken, and it has never been processed.

Gu Yechen reached out and took the newspaper from Mother Gu's hand, glanced at it, and said calmly, "This is a photo from at least three months ago, and Tai Ling is still drunk!"

Qiao Zhi went over to look, but she didn't notice it just now, but now she looked carefully, the bar behind her was written in English, and the surrounding buildings were also European and American, which meant that the photo was actually taken when Tai Ling was still abroad.

Over there, Father Gu and Mother Gu were still discussing this matter, with smiles on their faces. Father Gu also said that he would congratulate Tai Ling's father some other day.

An inexplicable feeling surged in Qiao Zhi's heart, and a thin annoyance arose for no reason, she leaned into Gu Yechen's ear and whispered, "You said he has nothing to do with Su Zi?"

Gu Yechen turned his head to look at her, with a calm face and firm eyes, "Things won't be what you think!"

Qiao Zhi was a little suspicious of his unreasonable belief, but she also knew that what she saw was not necessarily the truth, besides, she was not sure about the relationship between Tai Ling and Ye Qing now, and this was before Tai Ling returned to China, so She has no position to care about love or reason!

Qiao Zhi was a little bored, and moved to Yan Mu's side. Gu Yechen noticed her small movements, smiled silently, stood up, and stretched out her hand to pull Qiao Zhi, "I made an appointment with the real estate agent to sign a contract today, you come with me!"

Qiao Zhi shrank away from Yan Mu's side, and said in a muffled voice, "No!"

Mother Gu looked over, Qiao Zhi was always docile, when had she ever played such a small temper, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhi?"

Before Qiao Zhi could answer, Gu Yechen had already stepped forward, "It's okay, Mom, let's go out first, and we won't come back for lunch!" After finishing speaking, he looked down at Qiao Zhi and smiled faintly.

Qiao Zhi sat still, Gu Yechen smiled and said nothing, the two stalemate for half a minute, both parents and mother looked over, Qiao Zhi stood up helplessly, Gu Yechen took her hand and walked out the door, Qiao Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, Whispered, "Rogue!"

Gu Yechen's back was straight, his face was expressionless, but his fingers were gently scratching in her palm, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes!
Gu Yechen and Mović made an appointment at the sales center outside the community, and Mović was already waiting. The two of them had negotiated the contract before, and they signed it without any objection.

After signing and paying the money, I got the key on the spot, and Mović accompanied the two of them to have a look inside the house before handing over the house.

The rain outside has become pattering, and there are not many people in the community, only occasionally a few hurried past with umbrellas.

The greening in the community is very good, a pool is built in the middle, and there is a small pavilion with a white roof on the side. In this weather, there is actually a young couple who kiss me and me in the pavilion.

The three of them took the elevator upstairs, Mović opened the door, the three of them went in, and checked again. There was nothing wrong with it. Mović hesitated for a long time before leaving and finally couldn't help but asked Qiao Zhi in a low voice, "Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu?" Is Xiaoqing very familiar?"

Qiao Zhi froze for a moment, then nodded.

"...Then, does Mrs. Gu know if she has a boyfriend now?" Mović's eyes hidden behind his glasses were full of expectation.

Boy friend?Qiao Zhi rolled her eyes. She didn't know Ye Qing's attitude towards Mović now, but Ye Qing said in the past that she never wanted to see Mović in her life, but emotional matters can't be generalized, she Afraid to say that he didn't cause trouble for Ye Qing, and afraid that he would miss the marriage, he hesitated for a while!
"Mrs. Gu..." Mović called her.

Gu Yechen heard it clearly, stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Zhi's shoulder, looked at Mović, "You mean Ye Qing?"

"That's right, Mr. Gu knows her?" Mović was a little surprised.

"Yes." Gu Yechen nodded, "I know, she and my wife are good friends, so I naturally know her."

"Then, does Mr. Gu know..." Mović looked at him expectantly, thinking that men should understand men better.

Gu Yechen seemed to think about it seriously, then turned his head to look at Qiao Zhi, "The gentleman that Ye Qing brought us to dinner with a few days ago is her boyfriend, right? He looks very loving."

What dinner sir?Gu Yechen was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, Qiao Zhi stared at him, Gu Yechen pressed the hand holding her shoulder slightly, and before she could speak, Gu Yechen said again, "Why, Mr. Mo knows Ye Qing?"

Mović was a little disappointed, but still forced a smile, "Yes, we are college classmates!"

When Mović left, Qiao Zhi squinted at him, but Gu Yechen avoided her eyes and walked to the balcony.

Qiao Zhi naturally would not give up, and followed him into the balcony.

"The balcony is so big, we can put a recliner here and a small coffee table next to it, drink coffee, read a book, and bask in the sun in winter, it should be very comfortable." Gu Yechen measured the balcony.

Qiao Zhi didn't answer, stepped forward and stopped in front of him, looked up at him, and asked directly, "Do you know something?"

"Know what?" Gu Yechen pretended innocently that he couldn't understand what she said.

Gu Yechen and Ye Qing only met once, and it was just a face-to-face, without saying a few words, how could he and her be familiar, coupled with his cold personality, how could he just find trouble to be a peach blossom to Ye Qing, let him Who else did this besides Tai Ling?
Although she doesn't know Ye Qing's thoughts, but now she can be sure that Tai Ling must have thoughts about Ye Qing, thinking of the newspaper in the morning, she was a little annoyed for a while, "Gu Yechen, don't pretend to be stupid."

Gu Yechen sighed helplessly, held her shoulders with both hands, and explained, "I didn't want to hide it from you, Tai Ling does have feelings for Ye Qing, so..."

"So, you just created something out of nothing?" Qiao Zhi's slender eyes were slightly watery and slightly angry.

Gu Yechen raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, I helped you indirectly. Didn't you just make up your mind and didn't know what to do? So I can kill two birds with one stone by doing this. I helped you as well as Tai Ling." ,Yes or no?"

Gu Yechen spoke softly, with a coaxing hoarseness in his voice, which made Qiao Zhi unable to think of a rebuttal, and secretly thought that what he said was really true.

Qiao Zhi stomped her feet resentfully, turned around and walked into the house, Gu Yechen hurriedly grabbed her, wrapped her waist from behind, pressed her thin lips against her ears, and whispered, "Are you angry?"

His whispers that seemed to be begging for mercy made Qiao Zhixin soften into a puddle of water all of a sudden, and she couldn't help picking up the hand he put on her waist and biting down bitterly.

Gu Yechen didn't even frown and let her bite, but Qiao Zhi bit her and felt a little distressed, and couldn't bear to bite hard, so she let go of her mouth and rubbed him again.

Gu Yechen chuckled, held her shoulders and turned her around, lowered her head and kissed her lips, Qiao Zhi pushed his shoulders with both hands to push him away, but Gu Yechen's big hands were tightly locked around her waist to let her go She couldn't break free.

Gu Yechen pressed her lips and said softly, "Qiao Zhi, the matter of Tai Ling..."

Qiao Zhi raised her eyes lazily from his arms, but this time she was very clear, "Impossible, I won't help Tai Ling, you are not allowed to persuade me."

Gu Yechen's eyes were smiling, his thin lips lightly touched her small nose, and smiled lowly, "Our Qiao Zhi has become smarter, but Xiao Mu is not allowed to say that you are stupid..."

How could Qiao Zhi not hear the teasing in his tone, and buried her head in his arms bitterly, causing Gu Yechen to laugh happily.

On Monday morning, Qiao Zhi and Gu Yechen sent Yan Mu to the school together, and then Gu Yechen sent Qiao Zhi downstairs to the company.

While unfastening Qiao Zhi's seat belt, Gu Yechen said, "Let's have lunch together?"

Qiao Zhi glanced at him, "Eat by yourself, I will eat with Ye Qing!"

Gu Yechen smiled, and habitually raised his hand to pat her on the head. Qiao Zhi had expected it a long time ago, she tilted her head away from his hand, her nose wrinkled slightly, "You can ask Tai Ling to eat with you!" She said without waiting for Gu Yechen's response, Open the door and get out of the car!
Gu Yechen looked at her back and smiled helplessly. This girl became more and more open in front of him, not as easy to deceive as before, but her change still made him very happy!

Gu Yechen was not in a hurry to leave, he rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.

When Tai Ling's car approached, Gu Yechen honked the horn, the black Bentley braked suddenly, Tai Ling got out of the car, and Leng walked over.

Gu Yechen put all the car windows down, raised his eyebrows to look at him from inside the car, "Why, are you in trouble?"

Tai Ling glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be stupid, what don't you know?"

The slender and fair fingers flicked the cigarette ash gracefully, Gu Yechen leaned lazily on the car seat, parted her thin lips lightly, "You can't live without doing evil!"

Tai Ling's face turned dark all of a sudden, he went around to the other side, opened the car door and sat in, stretching out a hand towards Gu Yechen.

Gu Yechen glanced at him indifferently, threw out the cigarette butt in his hand, raised the car window, and said lightly, "Don't smoke in the car!"

Tai Ling caught his breath in his throat, his face turned blue with anger, "Gu Yechen, you are trying to anger me on purpose, aren't you?"

"No," Gu Yechen turned his head to look at him, "I came to see you having fun!"

Tai Ling was no longer in the mood to make fun of him, and looked at him seriously, "Find someone to help me find out who sent this photo!"

"I've already asked someone to do it, but Tai Ling, I swear in front of Qiao Zhi that you and this woman have nothing to do, you won't tell me between the two of you..." Gu Yechen protracted the end , but there was no doubt in his eyes.

"Fart..." Tai Ling couldn't help swearing.

Gu Yechen raised his eyebrows, took out the cigarette case and handed him a cigarette.

Tai Ling lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff, "I don't know who is cheating on me. My dad saw the newspaper yesterday and forced me to get married quickly. This let me know who did it. I'm so special." Why kill him..."

Gu Yechen was not affected by his anger, "Between you and her..."

"There is nothing between me and her, but I was in a bad mood after that incident. I..." Tai Ling's eyes dimmed a little, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "She happened to be with you during that period of time. By my side, so I..."

"Just by your side?" Gu Yechen looked at him deeply, "Or if you don't want to live anymore, she happened to save you?"

Tai Ling looked up at him suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes, "How do you know?"

Gu Yechen's eyes became sharper, and after a long while, he still couldn't bear to criticize him, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said lightly, "I checked her, so I know!" How could he feel at ease when she was by Qiao Zhi's side? She checked her net worth clearly, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest, which was Tai Ling's drunken and dreamy days abroad.

The aura around Tai Ling's body suddenly decreased, her head was leaned back on the car seat, her eyes were closed, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Her mouth is very similar to Xiaoru..."

Gu Yechen remained silent, and Tai Ling said again, "But I am sober, I don't like her, so I have always treated her with courtesy, that was the only time I lost my composure, but nothing happened to us, Ye Chen, you have to believe I……"

"I believe." Gu Yechen took a deep puff of cigarette, "What about Ye Qing, she is also very similar to Qin Ru."

"No..." Tai Ling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, with an urgent tone, "Ye Qing is not like Xiaoru, there is no resemblance in one place, I did not regard her as Xiaoru's substitute..."

Gu Yechen looked at him with indifferent eyes, "Ye Qing does not look like Qin Ru, but a large part of her personality is a copy of Qin Ru, are you sure you are not thinking of Qin Ru when you look at her?"

Tai Ling froze for a moment, and collapsed on the seat as if she had lost all strength, "I..."

There was some smoke in the car, and Tai Ling's expression couldn't be seen clearly. Gu Yechen lowered the window and said calmly, "Ye Qing is Qiao Zhi's best friend. If you hurt her, I won't stand by your side." side!"

Tai Ling looked at him blankly, while Gu Yechen turned his head to look outside the car and remained silent.
