Chapter 168 : His Hands Covered His Ams, And Blood Stained His Shirt Red To Black, Spilling Out Between His Fingers

The smile that had not yet formed on Gu Nian's face disappeared, and her heart felt painful.

Her expression darkened: "Mom, Chu Zhaoyang has a stubborn temper. If you don't agree, he won't give up."

Mu Lanshu threw the shovel into the pot and said, "I have taken a step back, don't go too far!"

"Mom, why?" Gu Nian asked, feeling heavy in her chest and having trouble breathing.

Mu Lanshu picked up the shovel and stir-fried a few times, put the vegetables on the plate, and said: "It's just for your own good, it's as simple as that. You don't believe it, but I tell you, there will be times when you will regret it!"

Gu Nian looked at Mu Lanshu doubtfully: "Mom, do you know something? Why are you so sure?"

Mu Lanshu stopped talking again and poured oil into the pot again. Just as she was about to pour the chopped dried chilies in, Gu Nian quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, he can't eat spicy food very well."

Mu Lanshu paused and heard Gu Nian say: "He had an accident when he was a child and damaged his stomach. Although he has been raising it for a long time, it has damaged the foundation, so he still has to eat less stimulating food."

Mu Lanshu's hand trembled, and she finally took the pepper away.

Gu Nian was very surprised by Mu Lanshu's attitude. On the one hand, she was so opposed to them being together, but on the other hand, she seemed to care about Chu Zhaoyang.

After a while of silence, Gu Nian went out first.

Chu Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming back. He felt very uncomfortable being alone in a strange place.

"My mother doesn't object or agree now. Probably, she just wants to pretend that we don't exist and is too lazy to care." Gu Nian said.

"It's okay." Chu Zhaoyang rubbed Gu Nian's hair, "It's already fine."

After a while, Mu Lanshu brought the dishes over.

Gu Nian hurriedly went to the kitchen to help.

Chu Zhaoyang thought for a while and got up to help.

Mu Lanshu saw it, sighed and said, "Go and sit down."

Gu Nian hurriedly pulled Chu Zhaoyang to sit down: "Mom tells you to sit down, so just sit down."

Watching Chu Zhaoyang eating the food, Mu Lanshu couldn't help but ask: "Does the taste to your liking?"

Chu Zhaoyang was a little surprised, but immediately nodded: "It's delicious."

Mu Lanshu nodded. The corners of her lips seemed to want to hold her, but she pulled them back.

"You...I heard from Gu Nian that you have a bad stomach. When did it start?" Mu Lanshu asked.

Chu Zhaoyang took a piece of wild rice and said, "When I was seven years old."

Mu Lanshu's hand shook, and she held the spoon in her left hand. Half of the soup in the spoon spilled out and fell back into the bowl.

"Your stomach...is seriously injured?" Mu Lanshu's face turned pale.

Gu Nian didn't know why Mu Lanshu disagreed with them and yet cared so much about Chu Zhaoyang.

But there was no stopping.

She hoped that after Mu Lanshu gets to know Chu Zhaoyang better, she will not oppose them and treat Chu Zhaoyang better.

"Yeah." Chu Zhaoyang put down his chopsticks and answered seriously, "Something happened at that time, and then I had stomach bleeding, and then I vomited whatever I ate. It took me a long time to recover."

Mu Lanshu nodded absently: "So, are you okay with eating these tonight?"

"No, it's normal now." Chu Zhaoyang said more reluctantly, "I can also eat a little spicy food."

"Then try not to eat it, it'll will stimulate your stomach." Mu Lanshu said.

"Okay." Chu Zhaoyang had a warm smile in his eyes.

It was just that he was so kind and tried his best to please her and leave a good impression on her.

The dignified heir to the Chu family and the president of the Chutian Group had such a humble attitude towards her, which stung Mu Lanshu's eyes.

She should owe it to Chu Zhaoyang. Chu Zhaoyang didn't have to treat her like this.

Mu Lanshu sniffed, her eyes were red, she lowered her head and drank soup to cover it up.

After dinner, Gu Nian went to help Mu Lanshu wash the dishes. Chu Zhaoyang discovered that their home did not have a dishwasher.

The weather was cold and even the water was bitingly cold.

Chu Zhaoyang went to make a phone call, and then went to the kitchen.

"Don't wash it yet." Chu Zhaoyang stopped Gu Nian, "I bought a dishwasher and will deliver it soon."

"When did you buy it?" Gu Nian asked in surprise.

"Just now." Chu Zhaoyang explained.

"Is this... going to be given as a gift?" Gu Nian was afraid that Chu Zhaoyang didn't know, so he explained, "Even if you buy an electrical appliance off-the-shelf, you usually have to wait until the next day before the manufacturer lets the delivery man deliver it."

Chu Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows: "I asked him to deliver it now."

Gu Nian: "..."

Rich and willful.

"No need, I'm used to hand washing." Mu Lanshu refused.

There was nothing she could do for Chu Zhaoyang, and she still had to accept Chu Zhaoyang's kindness.

She... didn't deserved it.

"I don't want your hands to freeze in the winter." Chu Zhaoyang said, lowering his eyes, looking at Gu Nian's hands that were red from the cold due to being soaked in cold water, and then took them and wrapped them in his palms to warm her.

"How much money will it cost, I'll pay it back to you." Mu Lanshu said immediately.

Chu Zhaoyang frowned slightly: "No, I will send it to you, it should be."

Mu Lanshu clutched her apron tightly with cold water in her hands: "What should I do? I don't deserve it."

"I don't want you to be tired with Gu Nian." Chu Zhaoyang sighed deeply, "I'm not forcing you to buy anything. If you insist on giving money, I will give it to Gu Nian later."

But Mu Lanshu kept her guilty conscience in check!

"Mom, this is what he wants, don't refuse." Gu Nian advised.

Mu Lanshu glared at her and went to the living room feeling depressed.

After waiting for about an hour, someone came with the dishwasher.

He also installed it himself and checked it again.

Then, he threw all the dishes into the dishwasher and washed them.

Getting along tonight was much better than Gu Nian expected.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she sent Chu Zhaoyang out.

The two held hands and walked out of the unit door, walking slowly towards the Bentley.

"Who?" Suddenly, a voice shouted from the darkness.

Gu Nian saw a dark figure jumping out of the darkness and rushing out like an arrow.

Gu Nian was about to give chase, but was stopped by Chu Zhaoyang: "That's the bodyguard."

Gu Nian paused and looked at him in surprise: "The bodyguards have been following you?"

"Yes." Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes and said, "It is basically confirmed that the other party is the R organization, so I borrowed some secret guards from the Wen family. Usually those bodyguards are on the surface, and the secret guards hide in the dark. No one can notice them."

Gu Nian's face slowly turned red: "They... how long have they been following you?"

"It just started today." Chu Zhaoyang didn't think of anything else and answered truthfully. Seeing that Gu Nian's face looked better, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"If I followed you early in the morning, then yesterday..." Gu Nian rolled his eyes at her.

She slept with him in the car all night, and... she even helped him do it.

Even though it was pitch dark and you couldn't see inside, you still knew that you would not do nothing after staying alone for most of the night.

The thought of being seen by others made Gu Nian extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, they just started following today.

After a while, a man in black ran back.

She couldn't tell what style of clothes he was wearing. They were all black and completely hidden in the darkness.

If he hid in a dark place, they really couldn't find him.

The waist, trousers, and even the wrists were tightened, making it especially convenient for movement.

She saw the man and said, "I lost track of him. He is very professional."

The secret guard was not very happy either. He lost someone on the first day he came here.

Although he was a secret guard and was responsible for protection, which was different from the main scout of the shadow, he was still very shameless.

The opponent's anti-tracking ability was very strong.

Chu Zhaoyang nodded, and the secret guard disappeared into the darkness again.

Gu Nian's eyes widened in surprise, and she didn't even see where the secret guard was hiding.

"Go back quickly." Gu Nian said quickly, fearing that Chu Zhaoyang would be more dangerous if he stayed outside for a long time.

"I want you to go home before leaving. Remember to turn on the light in the bedroom and tell me you are home." Chu Zhaoyang instructed.

Gu Nian nodded and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chu Zhaoyang.

"What's the matter?" Gu Nian asked in confusion.

Chu Zhaoyang tapped his lips.

Gu Nian immediately turned around and looked around and said, "Aren't the secret guards hiding in the dark?"

"He doesn't look." Chu Zhaoyang said calmly.

"He is protecting you, why don't you look at it."

She would be embarrassed if someone was around.

"There are a lot of people during the day." Chu Zhaoyang grabbed her and refused to let her go.

"I've never kissed you in front of anyone during the day." Gu Nian said with her cheeks puffed up.

Chu Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her.

Ultimately, it was because he was afraid that Gu Nian would be so embarrassed that she would ignore him, so he didn't dare to kiss her too deeply and for too long.

After letting go, he whispered: "Try again during the day tomorrow."

Gu Nian's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only say: "Don't forget to tell me when you get home. I'm leaving."

Then, she ran away quickly.

Chu Zhaoyang stood in front of the car and watched the lights in Gu Nian's room turn on before getting in the car and leaving.

At this time, in the dark grass, there was also a person looking up at Gu Nian's room.

His hands covered his arms, and blood stained his shirt red to black, spilling out between his fingers.

***

In the next few days, Chu Zhaoyang went to Gu Nian's house to report every day, which made Nanny Yu felt that she was about to be laid off.

Mu Lanshu's attitude towards Chu Zhaoyang was still very ambivalent.

Seeing Chu Zhaoyang come to the door again, she would still look at Gu Nian, but she was also very concerned about Chu Zhaoyang.

Even more caring every day.

Last Sunday afternoon, Chu Zhaoyang went to Italy on a business trip.

On Monday, Gu Nian came to the police station and saw Shen Xiaoman and others discussing something together.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Nian asked Shen Xiaoman curiously, "Is there gossip again?"

"No." Shen Xiaoman waved to Gu Nian, asking her to come closer.

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious." Gu Nian also came over.

"I heard that our entire department is going to have a new consultant." Shen Xiaoman said.

"Consultant? Are they the kind who help us solve cases?" Gu Nian frowned, "I thought they only appeared in novels or TV series. If you really want to understand our department, you will know that those in novels and TV series are all gab."

"I don't know either, so why don't we discuss it? It's just a new consultant. It is said that he is only a consultant for one case because he knows it very well." Shen Xiaoman explained.

"You are usually so gossipy, why don't you go and inquire more?" Fu Yongyan took a sip of coffee and said.

"Of course I asked, so you listen to me." Shen Xiaoman waved to them to come closer, "I heard that this consultant seems to have a good background, and because of some case, he established a big. It's just that there is no suitable position for him now. So, they put him in the position of consultant first, but the police rank and salary will be the same as Deputy Mo's."

"So awesome?" Li Shaofeng said in surprise.

"Is this news reliable?" Fu Yongyan put down the coffee cup and propped his elbows on the table. "In this case, he and Deputy Mo are two very different people. Wouldn't it be very difficult for Deputy Mo?"

"Fu Yongyan, don't question the accuracy of my news. When have I ever told false news in all these years?" Shen Xiaoman slapped the table and expressed great anger at this questioning.
