Black Lotus - Chap 20
After he left, Gu Yansheng drove to the company, feeling a little irritable.
Shen Luoan sent a message suddenly.
[When you come back, I’ll make your favorite dish, sweet and sour pork ribs.]
When he saw the message, Gu Yansheng softened his face. He shouldn’t be thinking about it because of Wen Niannan, Luoan was waiting for him to come back home.
The day of going to the old house finally came, Wen Niannan was wearing a gray-blue woolen coat, and a slightly long hairstyle falling gracefully on his snow-white skin. He looked like a high school student.
Gu Yansheng was stunned when he saw the person walking down the stairs, he felt as though he had seen the Wen Niannan from a few years ago.
He only reacted when Wen Niannan walked up to him.
“What’s the matter? Let’s go.” Wen Niannan whispered.
The car drove slowly for a long time, the atmosphere in the car was extremely tight.
Wen Niannan sat stiffly next to Gu Yansheng. Both of them were too uncomfortable to speak in that atmosphere, they remained silent for Wen Niannan’s fear of angering Gu Yansheng.
“Why is your hair is so long? You look like a woman, it’s ugly.”
In the silent car, Gu Yansheng’s low voice suddenly broke the calm.
After a while, he still didn’t hear a reply, he turned his head and cast a faint glance at Wen Niannan.
“Your courage has really grown, it’s different if someone is backing you up.”
Wen Niannan tried to make his voice steady, and said: “To cover the scar.”
Every time he looked himself in the mirror, he would use his hair to cover the scar on his forehead for the fear of being seen by Gu Yansheng. Now he was suddenly asked and for a while, he didn’t know how to answer.
Wen Niannan’s cautious posture made Gu Yansheng not to be angry, and said impatiently: “Covering your face for the fear that others will know that our relationship is bad? When we arrive at the old house, you’d better behave normally.”
“Well, I got it. ”
Gu Yansheng glanced at him coldly, turned around closing his eyes to calm down, the car fell into silence again.
The car slowly stopped outside the old house, several people were standing at the door waiting for them. Gu Yansheng, in black formal attire, got out of the car, turned his head, and saw a few people waiting at the door, a strange color flashing in his eyes, then he turned around to walk to the other side of the car.
Just as Wen Niannan was about to get out of the car, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him. His eyes flashed brightly looking up at the owner of the hand in astonishment.
“You…what’s the meaning of this?”
“Your father’s man is at the door.”
Wen Niannan also looked over. It was indeed the secretary of his father, who was looking at him and nodded.
It turned out to be for others to see, Wen Niannan lost his brilliance in an instant. Also, how could Gu Yansheng take the initiative to help him get out of the car?
The few people at the door saw them approaching and they immediately greeted them.
“Master, you are back, good sir.”
“Where is my mother?”
”Madam is waiting upstairs, I’ll take you there.” Uncle Wang respectfully bowed and led them to the inner house.
Gu Yansheng took off his coat handing it to the maid and walked to the second floor. He suddenly stopped and glanced at Wen Niannan who was behind his father’s secretary, he said to the person who was still at the door: “Why are you so far away from me? Why aren’t you following me up?”
Wen Niannan was stunned in place, after reacting to what he said to him, he was overjoyed and replied hurriedly: “Oh, I’m coming.”
He could have been happy for a long time just because of Gu Yansheng’s words but he knew that all of that was just ⅜a show, still, he couldn’t help to take it seriously. If Gu Yansheng would always be that gentle to him, how great could it be?
