Chapter 10: Mr. Zhan is in Love

In the evening.

Xiang Wanqiao had been waiting since dinner, but Gu Jingzhan didn’t come to see her until nine o’clock.

She felt a little disappointed, and she checked her phone over and over again, but there was no response from the phone or WeChat.

What’s wrong with this man? Didn’t he coax her this morning?

It is said that a woman’s heart is as deep as the sea, but in fact, a man’s heart is just as hard to guess.

In the end, Xiang Wanqiao couldn’t hold it in anymore and took the initiative to call Gu Jingzhan.

The phone rang for a few seconds and then it was connected, but both of them were silent at first.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while. Xiang Wanqiao pouted, with a bit of unhappiness in her tone, and said, “Why didn’t you come to see me tonight? Is there a lot of work?”

Gu Jingzhan didn’t explain anything, but just replied lightly, “Yeah.”

Hearing his cold tone, Xiang Wanqiao felt even worse.

But it was her own fault that she had such a result, and she couldn’t blame anyone because she had abused his sincerity so much before!

Xiang Wanqiao sighed softly and asked again: “Then… will you pick me up when I’m discharged tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

My mom asked us to go back to have dinner together tonight. Are you free?” Xiang Wanqiao carefully asked for his opinion.

Gu Jingzhan was still so frugal with words, unwilling to say a word more: “Yes.”

Whatever she said, he just responded.

Xiang Wanqiao bit her lower lip and said in a muffled voice, “Don’t you have anything else to say to me except ‘yeah’?”

Gu Jingzhan was silent for a moment and finally said, “Rest early, good night.”

A trace of loneliness flashed across Xiang Wanqiao’s eyes, and the frustration in her heart was even greater.

She sighed helplessly and replied to him with concern, “Then don’t work too late, rest early.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jingzhan returned to the door of Xiang Wanqiao’s ward from the window in the corridor.

Although he didn’t show up, he was always outside looking in through the glass window on the door.

From the sound just now, Xiang Wanqiao seemed a little unhappy, and he didn’t know if it was because he ignored her tonight.

But on second thought, her emotions were never something he could influence.

Everything now happened too suddenly, making him feel it was unreal.

Gu Jingzhan stood quietly outside the door and never went in to see her.

He left only after Xiang Wanqiao fell asleep. As soon as he turned a corner, Gu Jingzhan ran into Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou leaned against the wall and asked unwillingly, “Brother Zhan, are you really not going to divorce Xiang Wanqiao? Even if she is pretending to be pitiful and acting to deceive you, you don’t care?”

Gu Jingzhan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Don’t care? Yes.

But for Xiang Wanqiao, his heart couldn’t be hardened at all.

I don’t want to care. As long as she stays with me,” Gu Jingzhan answered in a low voice, deceiving himself.

Lu Qingzhou got angry when he saw his worthless look and couldn’t help scolding him, “You are really hopeless for your love brain!”

Gu Jingzhan raised the corner of his lips, revealing a slightly bitter smile.

In the end, he said nothing, walked past Lu Qingzhou, and left in the elevator.

Lu Qingzhou looked at Gu Jingzhan’s back helplessly and murmured in confusion, “Is love really so great?”

…

The next day, in the afternoon.

Gu Jingzhan did not break his promise and came to the hospital to pick up Xiang Wanqiao as soon as he finished his work in the afternoon.

As soon as Xiang Wanqiao saw Gu Jingzhan, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

I have packed all the things.” She walked forward and took his hand. Husband, let’s go.

Hearing the word “husband,” Gu Jingzhan was obviously stunned for a moment.

He looked at her with a look of astonishment on his face and said incredulously, “You… what did you call me just now?”

“Husband!” Xiang Wanqiao blinked at him. “Aren’t you my husband?”

“Yes.” Gu Jingzhan answered without question.

Xiang Wanqiao pursed her lips and smiled, then said to him coquettishly, Honey, I’m still a little weak now. Why don’t you carry me down?”

Gu Jingzhan knew that she did it on purpose and did not make any move at first, but in the end, he could not resist her eye attack and carried her to the underground parking lot as she requested.

Xiang Wanqiao stayed quietly in the man’s arms, staring at him without blinking.

Sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, high nose bridge, light-colored thin lips.

In the past, she had never looked at him so carefully.

In her previous life, she actually thought that Gu Jingzhan’s handsome face was not as good as Xiao Xuan’an. She was really stupid!

As she looked at him, she felt guilty.

Xiang Wanqiao tightened her arms around his neck, slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, and nestled tenderly in his arms.

Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes and saw that she took the initiative to approach him, and his heart was extremely excited.

Where she couldn’t see, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a bit of joy appeared in his originally calm eyes.

As soon as Xiang Wanqiao entered the Xiang family, Xiang Xingyu just came down from upstairs and ran to her in two steps.

Sister, how are you? Xiang Xingyu took her hand and asked nervously, “Is the wound very deep? I heard that you lost a lot of blood and almost couldn’t be saved!”

The moment she saw Xiang Xingyu, Xiang Wanqiao’s eyes flushed. If she hadn’t been blind and trusted the wrong person in her previous life, her sister wouldn’t have ended up in such a tragic ending.

All this is her fault.

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her eyes, hid the emotions in her eyes, pulled her lips, and smiled. “Isn’t I fine now? It’s okay.”

Seeing that she was still joking, Xiang Xingyu immediately became serious and educated her, “What do you mean it’s okay! You almost died, do you know? What can’t be said in a good way? You have to commit suicide. Don’t you cherish your life?”

Speaking of the word “suicide,” the atmosphere in the living room became dull and depressing in an instant.

Gu Jingzhan’s face was even uglier, and the breath around him also became cold.

Xiang Wanqiao felt even more guilty.

“I… I was also confused for a moment.”

You are not confused for a moment, you are too confused!” Xiang Xingyu didn’t buy it and retorted to her mercilessly. “You can’t tell the good from the bad.”

Xiang Wanqiao cleared her throat and promised in front of everyone, “I swear, I will cherish my life in the future and will never do such things that hurt myself again.”

Although they didn’t know whether what she said was true or false, when they heard her say this, the expressions of Xiang Yanhua, Jiang Peijun, Gu Jingzhan, and Xiang Xingyu who were present all eased a little.

Xiang Wanqiao held Gu Jingzhan’s arm with both hands, and the action was very intimate.

Yes, I really couldn’t tell the good from the bad before, but now I have come to my senses.
