Return of the daughter: The black-bellied young man is too difficult to deal with

Chapter 20 I will protect you

Mo Lan stared at the ring in a daze. The ring and the wedding represent a lifelong promise. When you make a promise with the man you love the most, it means that you will give the rest of your life to the other party.

When Mo Lan was young, she especially liked going to weddings. Often when her father’s friends or partners got married, she would ask her father to take her with her. Because of this, she was once ridiculed by her brother as precocious.

She has always dreamed that one day her father will hold her hand and lead her through the white carpet, surrounded by people who care about her most and are most familiar with her. They smile and bless her, because she is on the way to happiness.

But now, she has nothing, she has lost everything, those who care about her have already regarded her as a dead person, and the father who is holding her has also stayed at the bottom of the cliff seven years ago forever.

Gu Jingcheng felt that Mo Lan's mood was suddenly very low. Mo Lan didn't look up, she just stared at the ring in a daze, and didn't notice that her mood had been exposed.

Looking at Mo Lan, Gu Jingcheng suddenly felt bored. He didn't know why Mo Lan became so sad, and he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable when seeing Mo Lan unhappy.

Mo Lan focused on the ring, no one would make such a beautiful promise to herself, right?After going through all these pains, even if someone was willing to accompany her, Mo Lan would not dare to accept it.

How hard did it take her to recover from her betrayal seven years ago?Now if she wanted to make her trust someone wholeheartedly, Mo Lan knew she couldn't do it.

Gu Jingcheng felt that the reason for Mo Lan's mood change should be the ring, he rubbed his head helplessly, by the way, how could he forget that no matter how strong Mo Lan is, she is still a girl.

A girl should be very concerned about her marriage. Although she is only engaged to herself, after all, they are not in love like ordinary couples.

They used each other more, and Mo Lan should be so sad because she remembered that her marriage had no true feelings.

Gu Jingcheng sighed, although he told himself in his heart that Mo Lan was just a partner, he shouldn't care too much about Mo Lan, or even care about Mo Lan.

But he just couldn't control himself, Gu Jingcheng didn't know how the control he was always proud of was like a fake in front of Mo Lan.

Gu Jingcheng patted Mo Lan's back lightly, Mo Lan came back to her senses, and then alarm bells rang in her heart, she was so strange? !

Mo Lan's expression, which was a little moved because of the ring, instantly became indifferent. She looked at Gu Jingcheng, not knowing what to say, so she could only remain expressionless.

Mo Lan regretted that she had leaked her emotions because of a ring. Gu Jingcheng felt very distressed when he saw the change in Mo Lan's face.

What are you hiding?What happened to you?Gu Jingcheng instinctively didn't want to see Mo Lan pretending to be strong.

Gu Jingcheng has a special position for Mo Lan in his heart. Logically speaking, he has known Mo Lan for less than two weeks, but he always feels that Mo Lan is like a friend who has been with him for a long time.

This feeling reappeared in his heart again and again, making it impossible for Gu Jingcheng to treat Mo Lan as indifferently as he treats others.

Gu Jingcheng didn't seem to notice the change in Mo Lan's expression, he said casually, "Lan'er, although our engagement is more for our mutual benefit, I also know the importance of lifelong events to a person Don't worry. I promised to protect you, so I will do what I say."

"As long as our cooperation exists for a day, you will be my real fiancee. Although I can't care for you in all aspects like a couple, I will try my best to take care of you, so please trust me."

Although Mo Lan has no expression on his face, his mind is always thinking. Gu Jingcheng's promise can be told at any time like a lie, so Mo Lan keeps telling himself that this is just a way to win his favor.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Mo Lan's mouth, "Mr. Gu, don't forget that I'm also a businessman. It's instinct for a businessman to value profits. I don't believe that if my interests really conflict with yours, Mr. Gu will take care of me without hesitation."

Mo Lan didn't believe Gu Jingcheng's promise, and also didn't want to hear his promise.Every time he heard him say that he would protect himself, Mo Lan would think of the stupid Xu Xinrong who trusted Gu Jingcheng seven years ago but lost everything in the end!

Gu Jingcheng felt the rapid increase of dissatisfaction and hatred on Mo Lan's body, but Mo Lan's emotions were well controlled, and her expression returned to indifference in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jingcheng spoke. "I know Miss Mo doesn't believe what I say, it's okay, I can understand, but I hope Miss Mo can try to believe me once in a while."

Mo Lan's questioning of Gu Jingcheng made Gu Jingcheng feel angry. Gu Jingcheng admitted that sometimes he would deceive people for the sake of cooperation and profit, but he did not lie to Mo Lan.He just couldn't help wanting to protect her.

"Miss Mo, I have plenty of time in the future, and I will prove it to you. I admit that I can't completely put your career on the same level as mine. But don't worry, I will do my best if it doesn't affect Gu. I will do my best to protect you.”

Mo Lan listened to Gu Jingcheng, she had already said that she didn't want to hear such words.But since Gu Jingcheng insisted, she couldn't help it.Not wanting to talk to Gu Jingcheng any more, she said, "Thank you Mr. Gu for your concern, it's getting late. Mr. Gu should get ready to rest, he has to go to work tomorrow."

Gu Jingcheng nodded, took his pajamas and walked into the bathroom. Mo Lan leaned on the bed. Originally, Gu Jingcheng lived at home when he was alone. If he had a wife, he would probably move out, so there is only Gu Jingcheng's bedroom on the third floor. There are no guest rooms.

Mo Lan and Gu Jingcheng are already engaged. Although this news has not been announced yet, the Gu family already knows it. If she and Gu Jingcheng sleep in separate rooms at this time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. What's more, she is a guest and does not sleep on the floor It makes sense, but this is Gu Jingcheng's house, and Gu Jingcheng doesn't know how to sleep on the floor.

So two people sleeping on the same bed was almost a tacit agreement without any discussion. Mo Lan had already taken a shower, and when Gu Jingcheng walked out of the bathroom, she was half leaning on the bed reading a book.

When Mo Lan first went abroad, she couldn't speak the language. She wanted to learn a foreign language, but in many cases, learning a language depends more on talent.She can only pass the time while learning the language by reading books every day. After so many years, reading has become a habit of hers.

Gu Jingcheng leaned against the bathroom door and looked at Mo Lan. She was wearing a silk nightgown. The nightgown was not long and did not reach her knees. Mo Lan tied a knot at her waist. She was holding a book in both hands, and she didn't notice it at all. The knot of the nightgown has come loose.
