The Reluctant Bride

With a tight jaw and a dark eye flashing a shadow, Zuo Panqing swallowed, his body wanted to shrink back, but behind the car door.

The cold touch made her feel chills through the clothes. The body was aroused, she suddenly pushed him hard, stood up straight, and tightened her bag.

"Gu Xuewen, don't scare me like this. I didn't ask him to give me money, and maybe it wasn't him. What are you doing this way?"

"Not him?" Gu Xuewen nodded, the gloom in his eyes became more obvious: "Who is that?"

"How do I know." Zuo Panqing glared at him: "Are you going to pick up Grandpa and them? If you don't want me to go by myself."

There was silence, Gu Xuewen did not move, Zuo Panqing did not dare to move, the two faced each other for a long time. Gu Xuewen glanced at her coldly, and finally walked around to the other side and opened the door to get into the car.

"Problem," whispered, Zuo Panqing's eyes suddenly widened, and quickly opened the car door and stared at Gu Xuewen.

"Hey. You still have a hand injury. Let's call a car."

Didn't he hurt his hand? If you drive again, will the wound open?

The sincere concern in her eyes made Gu Xuewen's gloomy face disappear a lot. Started the car coldly: "It's okay, if I don't drive, my parents will misunderstand me."

"But—" Just buy breakfast, after all, the opponent has no influence, but driving. Today is Sunday, and there are many cars and people. In case there is something--

"Are you going to get in the car?" Zuo Panqing shook her head: "I'm not going. Gu Xuewen, let's take a taxi. If your parents will ask, you will say your car is broken."

Gu Xuewen didn't move, and the sound of the engine rang in the ears of two people. Zuo Panqing really felt that this was inappropriate.

"Gu Xuewen, did you hear that?" She didn't want anything to happen, whether it was her or him.

"Do you think, how did I come back yesterday?" Gu Xuewen gave her a blank look: "Get in the car."

"But—" He thought it was an adventure movie? I have to drive myself if my hand is injured. Zuo Panqing bit her lip and refused to go up.

Gu Xuewen got out of the car simply, strode over in three or two steps, and stuffed her into the car with one hand.

"Gu Xuewen——"

Without waiting for her to say anything, he got into the car again and stepped on the accelerator without greeting him.

Zuo Panqing had been staring at his left hand, a little worried, but he looked like he was okay. She finally chose silence. Turned his head and looked at the road ahead.

The weather is very good today. The sun shines on the road, and everyone's faces are full of joy. Many people carry various gift boxes in their hands. In a hurry.

Zuo Panqing's cell phone kept tapping, and when it was turned on, there were text messages one after another. All celebrate her happy holidays. Sticking out her tongue, she edited the text message and pressed the group message.

Seeing the joy on her face, Gu Xuewen frowned almost imperceptibly.

Zuo Panqing didn't notice it. After sending a text message to greet my friend, he was relieved. The phone rang again.

"Qingqing." It turned out to be Ji Yunzhan.

"..." Zuo Panqing glanced at Gu Xuewen without a trace, and found that he was concentrating on driving. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Is something wrong?"

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Ji Yunzhan's voice was sincere and disappointing: "I originally thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival could be spent with you."

Silent, Zuo Panqing didn't know what to say.

"Qingqing, I hope you are happy."

"..."

"Why don't you speak?" Ji Yunzhan's voice was bitter: "Can we really not even be friends?"

Pursing her lips for a while, Zuo Panqing finally spoke: "I'm sorry."

Maybe she can be friends with him, but she is afraid. I'm afraid I can't help but have expectations, I'm afraid that I can't help but ask and guess.

If five years ago, he didn't hurt her and the two broke up peacefully, would she still care about it today?

Zuo Panqing didn't know, so she could only say sorry to him.

"Qingqing——" Can't you even say Happy Holidays to me?

Without waiting for what Ji Yunzhan said, Zuo Panqing had hung up the phone. There is a trace of annoyance in her heart, what is she doing? At least you should ask if he gave the money?

Now I had to ask again tomorrow, and I found out that the car had already parked in front of the hotel.

"Arrived?" Pulling the door to get out of the car, Gu Xuewen held his arm for a moment: "It's him again?"

That man is really lingering.

"Gu Xuewen, don't do that." Zuo Panqing's voice was very soft: "I have hung up and ignored him. What do you think of me?"

Gu Xuewen didn't let go, his voice was as cold as a knife: "You are sorry for him? Because of what? You can't be with him? Did I give you a chance now, and you ran to him right away?"

"Gu Xuewen." Zuo Panqing was in a mess. She didn't know how to face Ji Yunzhan herself: "Don't tell me, can you do it? I don't want to quarrel with you during the festival today."

noisy? Gu Xuewen didn't say a word, and his whole body began to become cold, and finally he opened the door and got out of the car, ignoring Zuo Panqing. He closed the door.

Zuo Panqing was stunned for a moment, got out of the car quickly, and ran towards him. Just about to stretch out a hand to him, she found that she was walking on his left and then went to pull his right hand.

"Gu Xuewen, don't do this."

She really didn't want to quarrel with him like this at the hotel entrance. It took her to say how many times before he would understand that it was no longer possible for her and Ji Yunzhan.

"Learning." Another voice faintly sounded. Gu Xuewu and Qiao Xinwan also arrived, just behind them.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law." Zuo Panqing couldn't bother to play his temper, and greeted the two of them.

Gu Xuewu didn't look at Zuo Panqing, but looked at the impenetrable expression on Gu Xuewen's face: "I will go to see a few grandpas later. Xuewen, are you sure you want to put your face so cold?"

Gu Xuewen turned his eyes sharply, staring at him for a long time, and finally his expression softened a little. After a faint glance at Zuo Panqing, he turned around and entered the hotel door.

Several of the elders had already gotten up, Zuo Panqing conveyed what her parents had said, and said that the positions were booked. Gu Tianchu was very happy.

"Well. I haven't had such a lively Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time."

The joy on his face was full of red light. Gu Tianchu's spirit looks very good.

Gu Zhigang and his wife were very filial to Gu Tianchu. Seeing that he was so happy, they did not refuse and agreed to go to Xiangyun for dinner together.

Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu also declined and went together.

Gu Xuemei also came at this time, and when she entered the door, she saw a large family in the room, which was very lively. After greeting her parents and grandfather, Gu Xuemei pushed her wheelchair and sat in the corner without speaking.

Zuo Panqing was chatting with Qiao Xinwan. When she saw Gu Xuemei like that, she seemed to have something on her mind. From the time she came, her face was a little gloomy. It seems very unhappy.

"Sister?" Called her tentatively, Zuo Panqing walked to her and squatted down: "What's the matter? You seem to be upset?"

"I'm okay." Gu Xuemei turned away, staring in front of her silently: "It just feels so lively."

Think about it seriously, it's really been a long time since the Gu family had so many people spending the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

"It's true." Zuo Panqing nodded: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, I will have dinner later, find a place to play, and enjoy the moon together in the evening."

"Go to Libin's club." Gu Xuewu suggested, looking at Gu Xuemei's expression because of the name he mentioned: "I heard that he is now the entertainment industry leader in City C, and many entertainment venues have his investment. "

"That kid Libin can be considered one of your younger generations." Gu Tianchu just heard this sentence and took over the words: "I don't know which daughter has this blessing."

"Dad, you really are. Is it possible that Libin is capable and can't do it when studying literary martial arts?" Wang Xiu'e doesn't think that his children are worse than others: "That Libin is better, but I heard that in C city, I have a lot of effort. My girlfriend has made one after another, making his mother angry."

"It's understandable that young people are more romantic." Especially in today's society, which rich man doesn't bother.

When Wang Xiu'e took the conversation, she didn't see Gu Xuemei's face turning pale in an instant. The hands on the legs are tightly twisted together.

"Glorious?" Gu Tianchu snorted coldly, "Indecent is about the same. Any love that is not for the purpose of marriage is called a hooligan."

Regardless of his old age, he is not a person who can't keep up with the times: "If you have money, you can't spoil your daughters. A man should be more devoted."

Like him, he only loved an old woman in his life, and it is the same now.

"That is. That is."

Gu Zhigang pulled Wang Xiu'e's sleeve and motioned him not to say anything.

Zuo Panqing also felt that the atmosphere was not right. Especially looking after Gu Xuemei, she seemed to fall down at any time: "Sister, are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm okay." Gu Xuemei twitched the corners of her mouth, and her mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Du Libin, are you bothered in C city?

The loss on her face clearly fell into the eyes of Uncle Gu Xuewu. He glanced at his mother with a slight disapproval: "Mom, you haven't seen Libin Huaxin, don't talk nonsense. As far as I know Libin is very dedicated and hasn't even a girlfriend yet."

"Really?" Wang Xiu'e was really surprised: "Then I saw Lao Du last time, and he complained to me, saying that Libin just wanted to have fun and didn't find a girlfriend, so he was anxious."

"Mom, Uncle Du is not at home all year round. How much time do you have to take care of Libin? I don't know if you don't talk nonsense."

"I--" Wang Xiu'e wanted to say something, only to find out that her son's attitude was very wrong today: "I said Libin was Huaxin, but I didn't say you were Huaxin. What are you arguing for him?"

Also, for a while, several people looked at Gu Xuewu. Including Gu Xuemei, there was a faint pleading in her eyes.

Gu Xuewu saw it, sighed, and turned to look at his parents: "Mom. How did Libin say he grew up with us. Don't talk nonsense."

"I won't say it, can you?" Wang Xiu'e was irritated: "My mother is so insignificant? I'm not here yet. I'll just say a few words later. What's in your way? You are a brother. , Or the old mother?"

"Mom--" Gu Xuewu felt helpless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zuo Panqing hurriedly came out and finished the game: "Grandpa. Uncle and Auntie, Mom and Dad. It's too early. Or let's go to the hotel first? My parents have booked the seats."

"Then go."

Gu Tianchu is also not in the mood to take care of other people's children's affairs. Isn't his own headache enough these few days at home?

Ah at the beginning. "Don't let in-laws wait too long."

"Yes, yes." Chen Jingru breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Gu Zhiqiang, holding Gu Tianchu's hands one by one: "Dad. Let's go first."

"Ok."

A group of elders went out first. Zuo Panqing breathed a sigh of relief, took it, and Gu Xuewen stood behind her and looked at her expressionlessly.

"What are you doing?"

Who did you show this face to?

"Let's go." Gu Xuewen stretched out his arm around her waist and walked out. Zuo Panqing thought of Gu Xuemei and found that Gu Xuewu had walked behind her and put her hands on the armrests.

With a sigh of relief, Gu Xuemei should be taken care of. Turning his face, he glared at Gu Xuewen with an angry look: "How come you, your brother, be your brother? Xuemei is your sister, why don't you push her?"

Gu Xuewen glanced at her faintly, then looked at his hand. Zuo Panqing stuck out his tongue and suddenly thought that his hand was injured. It is fine to drive with one hand, but not to push a wheelchair.

"Okay." Zuo Panqing stopped talking, and went out of the room with him.

Gu Xuewu finally left, facing the disappointment in Gu Xuemei's eyes: "If you really care, you must trust him. If you don't believe him, you must give up."

"Brother." She was actually a little messy. To say that Du Libin is bothered, she also doesn't believe it. Think he has to fly around every week. How can there be time and energy to spend the time and energy to go back and forth between C City and Beidu.

Thinking like this in my heart, I thought of Du Libin and Zheng Qimei. Didn't Du Libin not go to Beidu this week? He clearly has a newcomer and forgot the old one.

"Xuemei." Gu Xuewu called her softly, "Don't think about it, today is a holiday, be happy."

"Yeah." Gu Xuemei nodded, but her heart was tangled. Should I tell Du Libin that he came to C city? Want?

……………………

Lunch was very lively. Zuo Zhenggang and Gu Zhiqiang hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they couldn't finish talking. Wen Xuefeng and Chen Jingru were sitting together and chatting about the two children's childhood. They were also very happy.

Because Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu are there, they are not arguing. They get along harmoniously.

As Zuo Panqing became too crowded, she forgot about the dispute with Gu Xuewen just now, not to mention that she remembered another thing. Gu Xuewen's hand was injured.

She sat on his left and saw that he was about to hold the bowl with his left hand, and approached him without a trace: "Are you sure you are okay? Does your hand hurt?"

"I'm fine." She approached, and Gu Xuewen smelled the fragrance on her body and listened to the care in her words. The expression softened a lot.

Zuo Panqing didn't believe it. He glanced at the table, turned the turntable, and put a few pieces of fish in Gu Xuewen's bowl: "Eat fish."

Good for wound recovery.

and also--

Standing up, she specially ordered a bowl of pork liver soup just now, filled a bowl and placed it in front of Gu Xuewen: "Drink some soup."

To replenish blood, I don't know how bad the wound is, but it should have shed a lot of blood.

"Tsk tusk." Although Wen Xuefeng was chatting with Chen Jingru, she could keep her eyes on her daughter: "I didn't believe it at first when people said that the girl's foreign minister. Now look at Panqing, I really believe it. Look at it. This kid. How considerate to learn."

"Yes." Chen Jingru was also satisfied. Gu Xuewen insisted on staying in C city alone. Now that someone is taking care of him, she is relieved.

"Panqing is really a good boy. My family, thank you for raising such a good daughter."

"Where is my in-laws." Wen Xuefeng was very happy. As a parent, she didn't have any requirements, but she just wanted her daughter to be happy.

Zuo Panqing and Gu Xuewen have a good relationship, and they are the happiest and most comforted.

Zuo Panqing blushed and looked at Wen Xuefeng with a smile. He sat back in his seat: "I—"

Gu Xuewen's always serious face finally showed some gentleness at this moment. Looking at Zuo Panqing, he pushed the bowl of soup in front of her.

"You drink. You are too skinny."

"Gu Xuewen." What did he do? Do you think this is polite? Zuo Panqing stared at his arm, and finally brought her face close to him: "You fellow, I remember you should kneel down on the keyboard. If you don't drink, you will kneel when you go back tonight."

Gu Xuewen's expression was startled, and soon, a nice arc of laughter rose from the corner of his mouth. Take the bowl of soup and drink it. Zuo Panqing nodded in satisfaction and served him another bowl.

"Drink more to replenish blood."

"Will Xuewen be anemia?" Wang Xiu'e heard those two words sharply, and looked at Gu Xuewen: "Xuewen is not feeling well?"

"No." Zuo Panqing responded before Gu Xuewen said: "He has been training very hard recently. I think he needs a lot of blood. So it's good to eat more pig liver for blood."

"Panqing is really virtuous." Wang Xiu'e was a little envious. My daughter-in-law has never cared about her husband like this.

Qiao Xinwan couldn't hear the meaning of Wang Xiu'e's words, and glanced at Gu Xuewen faintly: "Since the training is very hard, then don't do it. Let Dad transfer you to a civilian job. Or transfer back to Beidu. No, it won't be hard. "

Gu Xuewu glared at Qiao Xinwan sharply, as if she hadn't heard it: "It should have been. Grandpa is also getting older. If you two brothers don't stay at home, don't you think about Grandpa's feelings?"

Gu Xuewu’s lips raised mockingly. After a long time, Qiao Xinwan didn’t give up and wanted to return to Beidu: “I believe Grandpa will understand. Besides. I didn’t stay in City C all the time.”

"I know." Qiao Xinwan nodded: "But grandpa is old after all. It is normal to want to have grandchildren by his side?"

"Qiao Xinwan." Gu Xuewu's anger came up: "It's a big holiday, do you have to say such things?"

"Am I wrong?" Qiao Xinwan raised her eyebrows high, "Aren't you two brothers selfish?"

"Qiao Xinwan." Gu Xuewu clenched his fists and was about to have a seizure. Gu Tianchu said at this time: "What is it. I'm not dead yet. You are not afraid of in-laws."

Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu stopped at the same time. Gu Tianchu turned around and looked at Zuo Zhenggang, "I'm showing you a joke. The children are not sensible."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Zuo Zhenggang waved his hand: "This is also a contribution to the country."

"That's right." Wen Xuefeng hurriedly finished the round: "I think it's good to learn writing like this, to punish bad people and get justice. How good."

Several elders rounded up the conversation, and the atmosphere became warm again. Zuo Panqing glanced at Qiao Xinwan. She muffled and did not eat anything, and a trace of grievance flashed in her half-closed eyes. The reflective one seems to be tears?

……………………

Third today. Five thousand words. 100 plus more for the monthly ticket yesterday. If the monthly pass is over 150 in the evening. There is one more.
