My Sweet Dr. Xu
Chapter 154 - 154 Reunion at the Banquet (2)
Chapter 154: Reunion at the Banquet (2) Chapter 154: Reunion at the Banquet (2) “I’m sorry, I don’t know how to.” Xu Zhiyin looked indifferent.
She had almost forgotten the last time she smiled. It was probably when she was with Gu Nantian.
But now, she had really forgotten how to smile.
Ji Liunian glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
Although he was unhappy, he would not blame her at this time.
Xu Zhiyin held a glass of wine and followed Ji Liunian. She was absent-minded and felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
Every time she had such an illusion, she would turn around and see nothing.
“What are you looking at?” Ji Liunian noticed that she kept looking around. Then, he thought of something and his face darkened.” You’re looking for Gu Nantian? Do you think he would come to a place like this?”
He always felt that the reason why Xu Zhiyin was unhappy was because of Gu Nantian. She had always been thinking about Gu Nantian!
“I didn’t.” “You’re thinking too much,” Xu Zhiyin explained guiltily.”
Ji Liunian mocked,” You don’t have to look forward to it. Gu Nantian wouldn’t appear in a place like this. He rarely appears in public unless it’s a banquet for his relatives.””
If Gu Nantian was here, Ji Liunian wouldn’t have brought Xu Zhiyin here. He would not let Xu Zhiyin and Gu Nantian meet!
Xu Zhiyin glared at Ji Liunian and argued,””I already said I didn’t. Do you have to do this?”
Even if she wasn’t with Gu Nantian, Ji Liunian would still bring up Gu Nantian from time to time to make her feel uncomfortable.
The saddest thing was that two people had no feelings for each other, but they insisted on being tied together and hurting each other.
Sensing her temper, Ji Liunian said,””Calm down for a while. I’ll come and find you later.”
Xu Zhiyin found a place to stop and downed her wine glass.
On the second floor, Gu Nantian was standing there. The shadow cast on him made it difficult for others to notice him.
He had been standing there the whole time and saw Xu Zhiyin standing next to Ji Liunian.
Shouldn’t she be happy to be with Ji Liunian?
However, throughout the night, there wasn’t a hint of happiness in her eyes.
She was back to the time when she first met her, the Xu Zhiyin who had just divorced.
Stupid woman, you’ve already gotten everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Why do you still want to make yourself unhappy?
Xu Zhiyin drank a glass of wine and put it down. She didn’t stay there to wait for Ji Liunian. She wasn’t familiar with this place and rarely came here. She was left there like a fool by Ji Liunian.
She pulled open the curtain and went to the balcony outside. The starry sky tonight was very clean, and there was not a single star to be found.
She stood on the balcony, gazing at the starry sky in a daze.
Only when she was away from Ji Liunian could she catch her breath.
She had a deep feeling that Ji Liunian didn’t keep her by his side out of love. He wouldn’t love a woman who was ” pregnant ” with another man’s child. He tied Xu Zhiyin up to torture her and take revenge on her for being with Gu Nantian.
The curtain behind her creaked and someone walked out. Xu Zhiyin turned around to take a look. It was Gu Nantian, whom she had not expected at all!
Her sudden reunion with him stunned her. Didn’t they say that he wouldn’t come to such a place?
What kind of news did Ji Liunian have? It was not reliable at all!
After half a month, Xu Zhiyin was afraid to look at Gu Nantian again.
She lowered her head and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Gu Nantian. Gu Nantian’s voice was low and indifferent, but he did not stick close to her like before. Instead, he maintained the distance he should have.” Why? You ran away as soon as you saw me?”
“There are many people here. I just don’t want to ruin Master Gu’s reputation.”Xu Zhiyin tried her best to restrain herself.
Gu Nantian looked at Xu Zhiyin and resisted the urge to hug her.” It seems that Dr. Xu is not happy after remarrying?”
“No, I’m doing fine.” Xu Zhiyin raised her head and revealed a concealed smile.” I don’t know why Mr. Gu would have such a misunderstanding. I’ve always liked Ji Liunian. Now that I’ve finally remarried him, of course I’m happy.”
“You’re lying!” Gu Nantian coldly denied her words.
If you were really happy, you wouldn’t have forced yourself to smile, and you wouldn’t have hidden here alone.
“So you’ve been staring at me?” Therefore, her premonition was not wrong. Someone had been secretly watching her the entire night.
” I’ve been staring at you,” Gu Nantian said.” It’s Mrs. Ji who has been shamelessly running around in my sight.””
“..”Xu Zhiyin was drunk. What did he say?
How would she know that he was there?
She looked at Gu Nantian and said patiently,””Then I’m really sorry! I’ll leave now. I won’t disturb Mr. Gu.”
“..”Seeing her walk towards the door, Gu Nantian’s heart trembled. He really wanted to walk up to her and hold her hand to make her come back to him, but his hand that was in mid-air stopped.
There was a deep chasm between him and Xu Zhiyin. Even if he caught her, he might not be able to keep her.
However, Xu Zhiyin seemed to have sensed Gu Nantian’s gaze. She stopped in her tracks and turned around.
Gu Nantian put away the tenderness that flashed across his face and looked at her.” Isn’t Mrs. Ji leaving?”
Xu Zhiyin glanced at Gu Nantian. His expression was extremely indifferent, but there was an imperceptible gentleness in his eyes. “If Mr. Gu sees me again, I hope you can pretend not to see me,” she said.”
It would be very awkward for her to suddenly come up and talk to him like this.
Although she missed the days when she was with Gu Nantian, she could not ignore the fact that Gu Nantian had hurt her mother.
Gu Nantian didn’t say anything and watched Xu Zhiyin leave in front of him. The sound of the door curtain rattling made his heart ache fiercely!
He tried his best to restrain himself and let her live the life she had chosen, but when he saw that she was unhappy, he still…He was very unwilling!
That night, Gu Nantian called Assistant Qiao over.
“Sir.” Assistant Qiao looked at Gu Nantian, who was sitting on the sofa. Ever since he met Xu Zhiyin at the banquet, Gu Nantian had been sitting there.
“Get someone to investigate Mother Xu’s injury.”Gu Nantian instructed,
Assistant Qiao looked at Gu Nantian in surprise.” Didn’t Sir not want to investigate this?”
After Xu Zhiyin broke up with him that day, Assistant Qiao had also suggested that Gu Nantian investigate the matter. He could not let anyone accuse him for no reason.
However, Gu Nantian said that if she believed him, she would not suspect him!
If she did not believe him, it would be useless no matter how much evidence he found.
“Find out.” Gu Nantian supported his forehead with his hand. He had not gone to look for Xu Zhiyin because he wanted to calm himself down and slowly lose his feelings for her. That way, he would not lose his rationality and love her!
However, he did not expect…
After meeting her, the rationality and calmness that he had found with great difficulty collapsed and no longer existed.
