thin marriage

Chapter 71

Acting, just act in front of grandma.At other times, forget it.

He didn't even bother to take Yao Youqian to enjoy the scenery at home.

Anyway, it was in this big courtyard, she had to see for herself.

Just after stepping through the round corridor door, Yao Youqian smelled the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air.The further you go, the stronger the aroma.

Although Yao Youqian and Gu Chengyao are married, they have been living in the apartment.Really unfamiliar with this place.

After crossing the last arch, there are three rooms in the small courtyard inside. This is where Gu Chengyao lives.

In the small yard, two osmanthus trees are planted.

Yao Youqian looked at the elegantly arranged courtyard, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "It smells so good."

"There are not many sweet-scented osmanthus here, but there are more in the West Garden." In addition to the sweet-scented osmanthus trees, the West Garden also has some other rare plants.

Yao Youqian nodded and didn't say much.

The Gu family's garden is so big, it takes a lot of effort just to take care of it.Surprisingly, they were all well cooked.

Scrambled, but not the slightest sense of clutter.

In the afternoon, the heat on the ground was still heavy.Gu Chengyao didn't plan to show Yao Youqian, and Yao Youqian didn't plan to let him accompany him either.

The two entered the place where they lived together.

Bringing Yao Youqian into the door, the nanny had already brought the luggage of the two of them and placed it in the middle of the room.

Gu Chengyao glanced at Yao Youqian: "If you are tired, you can rest for a while, dinner is not so fast."

Yao Youqian is not actually tired, but feels that the weather is too hot and sticky all the way, so she wants to take a bath first.

"I want to take a shower."

Gu Chengyao raised his finger and pointed to both sides of the room: "The bathroom is on the right, and the study is on the left. The other side of the study is a small room. I will live there tonight. You can live here."

After saying this, he went straight into the study.

Yao Youqian looked at the room in front of her, which was different from the ancient Chinese style outside.

The furniture, furnishings, and decoration here are all modern.Extremely simple and elegant.

It looks like it was refurbished at the back.Although Gu Chengyao didn't live here often, Yao Youqian could still feel a very strong aura that belonged to Gu Chengyao.

He was doing well today, knowing that he would give up the bedroom to her, and he would live in the small room by himself.

With a sigh of relief, Yao Youqian took out the clothes from the suitcase and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, the temperature in the room just dropped.Yao Youqian felt much more comfortable.

But she searched around, but couldn't find a hair dryer in the room.

Frowning, she had no choice but to go to the study to find Gu Chengyao, and wanted to ask him where the hair dryer was.

Gu Chengyao was not in the study.There are some documents spread out on the table on the left.There is also a notebook.To the right is an entire wall of books.

Along the side of the bookshelf are two shelves with antique vases.

She is not good at antiques, but looking at this vase, she knows that it cannot be fake.

"Gu Chengyao?"

Where did he go?Dinner is about to start later, he won't go out again and leave her here alone, right?

Yao Youqian knew very well that there could be no hair dryer here.However, his footsteps walked towards the desk in the middle as if he had his own consciousness.

The page of the notebook is open, but it has entered the screen saver mode.

The fingertips unconsciously touched the mouse, and the red and green lines filled the screen.

Gu Chengyao, he speculates in stocks?
Yao Youqian was not particularly good at stocks, so his eyes fell on those few documents.is a GC file.There are two more contracts.

She remembered it, she had heard from Gu Jingting that Gu Chengyao and his friends opened a studio called GC.

A drop of water fell from the tip of her hair onto the back of her hand, and only then did she remember her purpose for coming here.

Open the desk drawer.Knowing that it is impossible, but still want to see if it is possible for Gu Chengyao to misplace the hair dryer.

The first drawer, no.

Second drawer, no.

When Yao Youqian pulled to the third drawer and still couldn't find the hair dryer and wanted to close the drawer, a metallic light in the corner made her freeze there as if her body was frozen.

The setting sun had already begun to set, and the light refracted in from the window had lost its glare and became softer.

But Yao Youqian was blinded by the metal light.

With her fingertips forward, she picked up the earring.

Yes, a butterfly stud earring.

The diamond on it was not too big, but it looked very small and cute. She could almost imagine what it would be like to wear this earring on her ear.

Gu Chengyao, he—

The heartbeat is a little fast, a little anxious.There are also complications that she doesn't understand herself.Before she could sort out her thoughts, a voice suddenly sounded.

"what are you doing here?"

Yao Youqian gripped the earring tightly, swallowed, "I'm looking for a hair dryer."

Her heart was beating so fast that she didn't understand why she didn't take out the earrings to question him immediately, or put them back.

"This is the study room." Gu Chengyao glanced at her with an idiot's gaze, not missing even the slightest expression on her face: "The hair dryer is in the bottom cabinet in the bathroom."

"Yes, is it?" Yao Youqian nodded.She smiled awkwardly: "I, go and dry my hair."

Fen clenched her fists tightly, and the needles of the earrings pricked her palms, making her feel a tingling pain.

There was something wrong with his face, Gu Chengyao looked at her face, and stopped her when she passed by him.

"You don't look very well. Are you uncomfortable?"

"No." She clenched her fist even tighter, and she almost doubted that the earring had pierced her palm: "Maybe, maybe I have some heatstroke."

"..."

Gu Chengyao didn't speak any more, just watched her leave quickly, and then he sat back behind the desk.Sign all the documents and sort them out.

Finally, those market trend analysis charts were turned off.

The desktop on the screen was a group photo of Bai Yanran and him.

Gu Chengyao put his body down on the back of the chair, staring at Bai Yanran's smiling face on the screen.

Did Yao Youqian see his desktop just now?
Like a thief, Yao Youqian gripped the earring tightly, returned to the bathroom as quickly as possible, and then found the hair dryer.

There was a red dot on the palm of his hand that had been pricked by ear acupuncture.

Looking at that earring, countless complicated feelings flashed in her heart.

Gu Chengyao, Gu Chengyao
The name rolled in her heart, but she never called it out.

After drying her long hair, Yao Youqian held the butterfly earring in a daze again.

Will Gu Chengyao find out that this earring is missing?Should she put it back?
My mind went round and round until Gu Chengyao came over and called her: "Grandma sent someone to come over and ask us to eat."

"Okay. Here we come." He knew that Gu Chengyao would not come in, but Yao Youqian didn't put away the earring quickly.

This is out of the bathroom.

After leaving the door, the setting sun had already set, and the sunset glow dyed the sky red, and even the plants in the garden were covered with a layer of crimson.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came from the tip of her nose, Yao Youqian stepped forward and saw Gu Chengyao walking in front of her.

Staring at his back, she felt very complicated.

After a round of thoughts, she finally quickened her pace and caught up with him.

"Gu Chengyao, did you live here when you were young?"

She took the initiative to talk, which made Gu Chengyao a little surprised and a little confused. He glanced at her lightly, but only saw her calm eyes with a little casualness.

As if she was just asking casually.

"Yeah." Gu Chengyao nodded: "When I was young, my parents had a very good relationship, and my father didn't like to see me."

He didn't say this, but Wang Xiu'e said it casually later.

It is said that when he was still young, he often made troubles for Qiao Xinwan.

Gu Xuewu was upset that he "robbed his wife" from him, so he threw him back to the Gu family's mansion and let Wang Xiu'e take him with him.

The corner of Yao Youqian's mouth twitched. What does it mean that parents are too close and his father doesn't like to see him?
"Don't look at me like that." Gu Chengyao raised his eyebrows indifferently: "There's nothing wrong with that."

His longest record is that he hasn't seen his parents for more than half a year.

I also complained when I was a child, especially when there were parent-child activities in the kindergarten, but my parents didn't come to participate, but my grandma went.I really hate Gu Xuewu's irresponsibility.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved.For those children who work outside and their parents seldom go home once a year, he is considered happy.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Yao Youqian lowered his head, only then remembered that he had heard Gu Jingting say it once.It is said that the relationship between the younger brother and his parents is not very close.

Looking at it now, it's not just that they're not very close, it's just that the relationship is cold, right?
"I heard from your elder brother that you were a soldier? Why did you do it?" Listen to your father?
"He told you everything." Gu Chengyao glanced at her, and his pace slowed down: "I was too young at that time, and I did something with a few friends. My old man is not happy."

Gu Xuewu wanted to cut off his source of income, but at that time Gu Chengyao's source of income was no longer dependent on his family.

He wanted the school to punish Gu Chengyao, but he lost face like this.
