Chapter 414 Let’s go on another date
Gu Xingruo stood in the cloakroom, her fingers gently running over the rows of clothes.

She thought for a long time but still couldn't decide what to wear.

Normally, she never hesitated. She would pick up a set of clothes and stand in front of the mirror and sigh at how beautiful she was. She wondered how there could be someone as beautiful as her in the world.

But now she doesn't know what to wear, and it seems that nothing she wears is suitable.

Naturally, this morning's chat ended in a bad mood.

The father and daughter did not reach any consensus.

One refused to offer any explanation, and the other refused to leave.

Finally, Gu Hong gave up and said that if she didn't leave, he would tie her up and put her on the plane.

Although Gu Xingruo understood her father's intention, she still refused to give in.

She didn't know what she was insisting on, perhaps she was never ready to leave.

"Then Xu Wen might watch you die with his own eyes."

The words her father said still echoed in her ears, and she dreamed about them when she went to sleep.

Gu Xingruo was still young and she had never thought about anything related to "death".

But now, for the first time, she felt that this word was so close to her.

As a father, Gu Hong may not be very reliable.

But Gu Xingruo, who has been a daughter for so many years, understands that her father never speaks nonsense.

He will do what he promised and what he said will come true.

Gu Xingruo knew it was time for her to leave.

If she stayed, it would only lead to more serious consequences, or even cost her life.

Gu Xingruo looks naive and willful on the surface, but she is never a fool.

just
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been standing in the cloakroom for a very long time.

Gu Xingruo found that what she was worried about was not the clothes, but herself.

"what"

The eldest lady sighed and then lay down on the floor.

The coolness from the ground seeped into my whole body along my skin.

Gu Xingruo patted her face.

Going abroad doesn't mean you won't come back. Maybe not long after she's been playing outside, her father will call her back and say that everything is over.

Then she can live happily with Xu Wen again.
Gu Xingruo smiled bitterly.

She knew it was just self-consolation.

Her sixth sense told her that this time she would be away for a very long time, maybe a year, two years, or even...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The anxiety of the impending separation continued to spread in her heart.

Gu Xingruo hadn't even figured out how to tell Xu Wen the news.

Should I say it outright or sneak away?

Gu Xingruo still remained rational.

But she was afraid that once she saw Xu Wen, she would throw things like "reason" and "IQ" out of her mind.

Then I couldn’t bear to leave.

She really didn't want to leave.

Gu Xingruo shivered from the cold, but still lay on the ground and refused to get up.

She wasn't ready to face reality.

If only time could go back to high school.

Although the two were not together at that time, she was able to stay with Xu Wen every day.

Gu Xingruo rubbed her eyes.

She stood up from the ground with a jerk.

It's not her character to be so entangled and sad.

Gu Xingruo took out her cell phone and called Xu Wen.

After the call was connected, she quickly said, "Let's go to the amusement park today!"

Xu Wen was in a meeting when his cell phone suddenly rang.

The word "Ruoruo" appears on the screen.

He glanced at Yan Hui, who was reporting on the preparation progress of the Xingsha branch on the computer screen, and made a pause gesture.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a call." Xu Wen pressed the answer button.

Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Gu Xingruo's unusually cheerful voice: "Let's go to the amusement park today!"

This sudden invitation made Xu Wen stunned.

But he was used to it.

The eldest daughter is just that kind of person, she always does whatever she thinks of and never plans.

She said she wanted to climb the mountain late at night, and they might appear at the top of the mountain in the early morning of the next day.

He caught a glimpse of Yan Hui tactfully sorting out documents in the video window, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Now? Have you finished talking to your father?"

"That's why I want to go because we've finished our talk! Just go to the amusement park and wait for me later!" There was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the background on the other end of the phone.

Xu Wen held the phone and pondered for a moment.

Although this is the eldest lady's character, he always feels that there is something abnormal.

But he still replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Hui in the video raised her head again.

She asked tentatively, "Do we need to end the meeting early?"

"Finish the part about the relationship with the Xingsha government." Xu Wen forced himself to turn his attention back to the screen, but his pen drew a few meaningless arcs on the notepad.

The PPT that Yan Hui was presenting suddenly froze and the picture froze.

Taking advantage of the computer malfunction, Xu Wen suddenly asked, "Sister Yan, has Mr. Gu contacted you recently?"

The woman in the video visibly froze.

She reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears: "No, but a headhunter contacted me yesterday and offered me three times the market price."

Xu Wen was very confused after hearing this.

Headhunter?

When would Gu Hong use such gentle means?

He stared at the new silver strands in Yan Hui's hair, and for a moment he couldn't understand why Gu Hong would let her go so easily.

Although Yan Hui has already arrived at Xingsha.

But with Gu Hong's methods, it was very easy to deal with her.

But after Yan Hui was fired, there was no movement at all, as if they didn't care at all about this person who knew so many secrets.

Xu Wen knew the final outcome.

If it weren't for his influence, Yan Hui would not only have successfully escaped, but would have also opened her own accounting firm in Linjiang in the future.

But he was also afraid that his presence would cause unforeseen consequences.

"Sister Yan, if Mr. Gu's people contact you again, tell me immediately." Xu Wen reminded.

"Okay, I know." Yan Hui nodded slightly.

The video screen on the other side returned to normal and the meeting between the two continued.

Xu Wen looked at Yan Hui who was working diligently and couldn't help but admire her professionalism.

If he were the boss, he would definitely not be willing to let such an employee go.

Strong working ability, not talkative.
When Xu Wen was feeling emotional, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Expulsion is not necessarily a punishment, it may also be a way to keep her away from the center of the vortex.
After deciding to go to the amusement park, Gu Xingruo quickly chose her clothes.

She chose a light pink casual outfit and didn't dress up too much. She hoped that today's date would be normal, just like any other ordinary day.

When she was almost at the amusement park, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Xu Wen.

"I've arrived at the entrance of the amusement park and bought your favorite strawberry ice cream, but it's melting quickly. Your cute boyfriend might become a drowned rat." Gu Xingruo's mouth corners rose unconsciously, but tears welled up unknowingly.

She quickly typed a reply: "Five minutes left, don't eat my ice cream!"

After sending the message, she stared at the screen for a long time, etching this ordinary conversation into her memory.

This might be the last time, the last time we date like a normal couple, the last time I see him send such a cute message.

She grabbed her bag and left the parking lot quickly, afraid that if she slowed down she would change her mind.

At the entrance of the amusement park, Xu Wen was indeed standing there holding two ice creams.

The sun shone on him, and he stood in the sun smiling gently.

After seeing Gu Xingruo, he waved over here.

"One minute later, your ice cream will only be in the cone."

He smiled and handed over the ice cream that had already begun to melt, and naturally took her bag with his other hand: "Why did you think of asking me to come to the amusement park today?"

Gu Xingruo licked a mouthful of ice cream, the sweet taste melting on the tip of her tongue: "I suddenly want to ride the Ferris wheel."

She paused for a moment and looked up at Xu Wen's face: "And we haven't dated like a normal couple for a long time."

Both of them have been busy during this period.

It seems like there are always a lot of things piling up around them, preventing them from having a peaceful date like ordinary couples.

Gu Xingruo couldn't help but think, it would be nice if they were just an ordinary couple.

Xu Wen's eyes flashed with doubt, but it was quickly replaced by a smile: "Miss Gu finally wants to experience civilian life? Then today we will be an ordinary couple."

He took her hand: "Start by queuing up."

Like countless couples around them, they held hands and lined up in front of various projects. Gu Xingruo leaned her head on Xu Wen's shoulder, greedily breathing in his special fragrance.

Xu Wen would bend down and kiss the top of her head from time to time. The two of them were already very sweet without words.

"Do you remember when I blocked you in an alley and confessed my love to you before the college entrance examination?" Gu Xingruo suddenly asked as the Ferris wheel slowly rose.

Xu Wen smiled: "How can I not remember? I can't forget it at all, right? It's really too unforgettable."

He specially emphasized the pronunciation of the words "engraved in memory".

That day seemed like a dream to Xu Wen.

He was clearly in the hotel in the last second, but in the next second he was back in school, back to being eighteen years old.

The person in his memory appears again and asks him if he wants to be together.

From that day on, he changed his life little by little.

Then everything became different.

Looking at Xu Wen's smile, Gu Xingruo's face showed a guilty expression.

She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I just liked you too much at that time, so I didn't know what to do, I..."

Xu Wen put his hand on Gu Xingruo's lips and interrupted her.

"I know, I don't care anymore, and aren't we doing well now?" He smiled gently.

Yeah, he doesn't care anymore.

Those things have slowly faded away in his memory, and now only happiness remains.

However, it was the first time he heard Gu Xingruo apologize for that incident, which was quite novel.

"If only you could fall in love with me earlier. I obviously like you so much," Gu Xingruo muttered softly.

Xu Wen reached out and touched the eldest lady's head.

He made a mouth shape, which meant: I also fell in love with you a long time ago.

This "early" is even earlier than what Gu Xingruo said, even earlier than the previous life.

"Xu Wen," Gu Xingruo lowered her head and called softly, "If, I mean if, one day I have to leave, you will..."

"No, there won't be such an if." Xu Wen interrupted her, and his gentle eyes disappeared in an instant.

He quickly asked, "Ruoruo, do you know something? Or did your father tell you something?

Gu Xingruo's words aroused Xu Wen's vigilance.

The eldest lady is not someone who likes to ask "If I turn into a caterpillar, will you still love me?"

If she said that, something must have happened.

Xu Wen realized that he was a little anxious.

He adjusted his attitude and decided to ask again patiently.

Before his rebirth, Gu Xingruo went abroad and never came back.

Xu Wen suddenly realized that this was probably the reason why she didn't come back.

After spending this period of time together, he really couldn't think of any reason why Gu Xingruo wouldn't come back to find him.

unless
Unless she won't come at all.

Gu Xingruo forced a smile: "Nothing, it's just that Yanan wants to go out with me. I may have to go out soon. She just broke up recently and wants to go out and relax."

The lie came out so smoothly that even she was surprised at her own acting skills.

It’s just a pity for Cao Yanan, who has to bear the blame for a broken heart before she even starts dating.

When the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, the entire amusement park can be seen.

Xu Wen didn't ask any further questions, but just pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.

The kiss was gentle and long, with the sweetness of strawberry ice cream and a hint of saltiness.

Gu Xingruo didn't know when she started crying.

When a girl suddenly talks about her best friend, it means she is going to lie.

Xu Wen knew this truth very well.

But he didn't ask any further questions.

Gu Xingruo is very alert now. She is also a little stubborn and you won’t get anything out of her no matter how hard you try.

You have to wait until you leave the amusement park and he will slowly guide you.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, they played a few more games until the sun set.

The amusement park lit up with colorful lights and the crowd began to thin out.

Gu Xingruo looked at the watch and it was almost eight o'clock.

"Are you hungry? How about we go for a barbecue?" Xu Wen suggested.

This is Gu Xingruo's favorite food.

Gu Xingruo was about to answer when she suddenly noticed three men not far away staring at them.

One of them met her gaze and quickly looked away, his movements very unnatural.

Her heart tightened, and she instantly remembered what her father said, "Linjiang is not peaceful."

I don't know if she was too nervous or
"Xu Wen, let's go back. I think someone is following us." She said in a low voice.

Based on the principle of rather killing ten thousand by mistake than letting a thousand go, Gu Xingruo decided to leave as soon as possible.

It never hurts to go back to a safe place now.

Xu Wen did not turn around immediately, but quickly glanced around while tying his shoelaces: "There are few people in the parking lot, let's go to the main entrance."

He also noticed the three abnormal people behind him, and his nerves instantly tensed up.

They quickened their pace, but the three men caught up with them, getting closer and closer.

When passing a corner, one of them suddenly rushed forward and bumped into Xu Wen.

"You don't have eyes!" The man pushed him viciously.

Xu Wen stood still and took the blow. He protected Gu Xingruo behind him and said, "Sorry, we didn't notice."

Although he was speaking softly, his muscles were tense.

Let the other party let down their guard first, and then be ready to run away at any time.

Xu Wen understood that this was no ordinary conflict at all.

These people are coming just for the two of them!
