Chapter 227 The Dumb and the Pretender Speak

……

Gu Chen walked briskly and stepped into the familiar hotel again.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man named Cang Ming sitting at the counter drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing Gu Chen returning, a hint of surprise flashed in Cang Ming's eyes, and the corners of his mouth immediately rose.

However, when his eyes fell on the girl who walked in with Gu Chen, Cang Ming was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses.

Then, a look of sudden realization gradually appeared on his face, which was originally full of joy, and then he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Cang Ming reached into a bag beside him, took out something and threw it hard at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was quick-witted and quickly stretched out his right hand to catch the unknown object. He looked closely and saw that what he was holding was a small, exquisitely packaged box with a pink ribbon tied on it.

Gu Chen stared at the mysterious box in confusion, his heart full of doubts. He couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Hearing this, Cang Ming suddenly showed an ambiguous smile on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Hey, guess what!"

Gu Chen frowned and thought hard for a long time, but still had no clue. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, "I really can't guess it, uncle, please don't keep me in suspense!"

Seeing this, Cang Ming sighed softly, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This is a good thing you can use!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen felt even more baffled and asked again, "What on earth is it? Tell me quickly!"

“■■■” (Taboo knowledge, don’t ask if you don’t understand…)
"what?"

Cang Ming just smiled evilly and blinked, saying nothing more.

Gu Chen looked at everything happening in front of him with a confused look on his face, completely bewildered.

However, Su Mengchan, who was standing beside her, had already understood what she meant. Her little face, as pink as a peach blossom, instantly flushed, like a ripe apple, shy and lovely to the extreme.

However, she did not refute or explain anything.

After all, even my brother remained silent about this, so why should I say anything?

So she just stood there quietly, occasionally looking up and stealing a glance at Gu Chen, her eyes revealing an indescribable shyness and expectation.

At the same time, although Gu Chen felt that something was wrong, seeing Su Mengchan so quiet, he chose to remain silent.

He thought, if Su Mengchan didn't say anything, why should he do anything?

It's like a person pretending to be mute waiting for the real mute to speak, and a real mute waiting for the person pretending to be mute to speak first.

In this way, a subtle and awkward atmosphere permeated between the two.

"Let's go, Ameng, let's go upstairs first." Gu Chen really couldn't understand the reason, so he shook his head helplessly, reached into his pocket to take out the room card, and then walked towards the stairs.

I saw him walking steadily, and his figure gradually disappeared on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Seeing this, Su Mengchan quickly lifted her slender legs and followed.

Perhaps because she had just woken up, she stretched her arms lazily while walking, as if she wanted to stretch all the muscles in her body.

Although she had only slept for a dozen minutes, she looked not tired at all and was in excellent spirits, just like a battery with super long endurance - it only needs one minute of charging time to run continuously for sixty minutes.

With only the two of them left on the stairs, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet. Gu Chen suddenly broke the silence and called softly, "Ameng."

His voice echoed in the empty corridor.

Su Mengchan turned around when she heard the voice and responded, "Hmm?" There was a hint of confusion and expectation in her eyes.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Can you tell me who Gu Yue is to me?"

His eyes were fixed on Su Mengchan, as if he wanted to find the answer from her expression.

Su Mengchan was slightly startled, then revealed a hint of surprise: "Brother, do you remember?"

However, when she saw Gu Chen shaking his head blankly, the light in her eyes dimmed again.

Gu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Still no, but for some reason, every time I hear this name, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart. I always feel that this person is very important to me, especially important."

At this time, Su Mengchan suddenly asked: "What about me? What am I in your heart?" There was a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Gu Chen answered without hesitation: "It's equally important, there is no difference at all. So, just tell me without worry, and don't worry about anything else." He looked at Su Mengchan gently, trying to give her some comfort.

Su Mengchan nodded and said, "Okay. Actually, she should be considered yours."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Chen anxiously: "Relatives?"

Su Mengchan couldn't help but be stunned, then she scolded: "Uh, brother, don't interrupt me, but why do you think so?"

Gu Chen touched his nose and explained, "Because her last name is Gu, and I used to have the same last name, so I naturally thought that we might be relatives."

Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look: "Isn't it?"

He stared at the other person, as if trying to find the answer from his expression.

Then, Gu Chen asked again: "If they are not relatives, then what else could they be?" His words revealed a hint of anxiety and confusion.

At this time, Su Mengchan was hoping that her brother could be smarter and not always make her feel helpless and disappointed.

She bit her lips lightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Yes?" Her voice was small, but it was full of expectation.

Hearing his sister's response, Gu Chen was stunned at first, then seemed to suddenly understand something, and hurriedly guessed: "Yes, cousin, right?"

However, what he got was Su Mengchan's unhesitating negative answer - "No!"

This time, Gu Chen was completely confused. He scratched his head and said in a bewildered manner: "Okay, then, you tell me."

So, Su Mengchan took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and shouted loudly: "It's yours!"

"girlfriend"

These three sudden words made Gu Chen stand there in a daze. He stared at Su Mengchan with wide eyes in shock, and subconsciously uttered a question: "Huh?"

Obviously, he had never expected to get such an answer.

After a long while, Gu Chen came back to his senses and stammered, "Girlfriend?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
