Chapter 890 The Honest Girl Waiting for the Prodigal Son to Return (3)

After Mu Zhou recovered from her illness, Gu Fengmian avoided her for a few days.

Because she was especially vulnerable and clingy when she was sick, like a wounded little animal, he simply couldn't help being kind to her.

So he ran away.

That day, when he returned from Iceland, he saw Gu Fengyan sitting on the sofa with an academic journal in his hand as soon as he entered the villa.

Even though they were at home, they dressed formally and sat upright as if they were attending an academic forum.

He walked over and threw his suitcase down.

He sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Fengyan, then collapsed into a slumped position, looking completely disheveled.

"Brother? Why haven't you gone to work yet?"

he asked casually.

Gu Fengmian runs several clubs, including skiing, racing, bars, and wineries, which are quite profitable.

Gu Fengyan is basically in charge of the family's assets; he has no interest in them and only takes a share of the profits.

Gu Fengyan turned a page and replied:

"I have a business event at noon today, so I won't go to the hospital."

He said "Oh," and took out his phone to start scrolling.

Gu Fengyan glanced at his suitcase:

"You went abroad for vacation with your girlfriend?"

"I went fishing in Iceland with Ling Yu and Yang Zhen."

Gu Fengyan paused in his book-turning motion.

He had only asked casually, but now he frowned slightly.

Yang Zhen? The youngest daughter of the Yang family.

The image of the girl he had seen at the hospital flashed through Gu Fengyan's mind.

He looked at his younger brother:

"Are you dating Yang Zhen?"

"……No."

Gu Fengmian shook his head.

He wasn't familiar with Yang Zhen; it was her brother who insisted on taking her along, otherwise he wouldn't have gone fishing with her.

A person who just keeps chattering away.

Disappointing.

Seeing his younger brother's indifferent expression, Gu Fengyan's eyes flashed with a dark glint, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

It has nothing to do with him, so there's no need to say anything.

Even if he doesn't approve of leaving his girlfriend to go out with other people of the opposite sex while having a girlfriend, even if the people he goes with are both men and women, he has no right to say anything.

He lowered his eyes and continued reading the magazine.

Gu Fengmian was also annoyed.

He opened the chat window with Mu Zhou, typed and deleted, then typed again.

The day before yesterday was their last chat. Mu Zhou said she was very busy with work these days and wouldn't disturb his travel plans, wishing him a happy trip.

I haven't contacted him since.

Compared to the daily, unwavering good morning and good night greetings they used to send, this is simply excessive indifference.

So Gu Fengmian lost interest in continuing to play and returned to China alone ahead of schedule.

Right now, he's struggling with how to subtly tell her that he's back and that she can come find him.

Just as I was hesitating, Mu Zhou unexpectedly sent me a message.

A new restaurant serving my hometown cuisine opened in the mall. I wonder if you'd be interested? We can eat together when you come back.

Gu Fengmian's face lit up with joy, and he replied instantly:

"It's alright, I can go try it with you."

By the way, I'm back now.

Just got back.

He was incredibly excited inside, but he still pretended to be dead.

Mu Zhou replied quickly:

So, for today? You should rest some more.

I'll pick you up today.

Gu Fengmian immediately stood up, looking radiant as he picked up his car keys.

"Brother, I'm not eating at home today."

He left in a hurry after saying a few words.

Gu Fengyan glanced at his back out of the corner of his eye.

I don't even know who I'm going to see, yet I'm so excited.

Are you going to see your girlfriend?

Probably not.

He didn't seem to like the girl very much.

He didn't stay by her side when she was sick, and instead went abroad with other men.

Gu Fengyan coldly withdrew his gaze.

*

In the specialty restaurant, Mu Zhou and Gu Fengmian sat facing each other.

The dishes were light and the ingredients were very fresh. Although they were all ordinary dishes, the taste was really good.

Mu Zhou explained how to cook these dishes and talked about how her father used to cook for her when she was a child.

Gu Fengmian was exceptionally patient, listening to her with a smile.

Gradually, his gaze fell on the small section of Mu Zhou's neck that was exposed.

Fair-skinned and slender.

It seems as if a large hand could easily control it.

Fragile and delicate, it inexplicably stirs up a secret, unspeakable thought in people.

After realizing what he was thinking, Gu Fengmian quickly looked away.

And inevitably, her collarbone was faintly visible through her collar.

The undulations are obvious, and the lines are clear.

Want to bite.

He lowered his eyes, feeling as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Gu Fengmian picked up the slightly cooled tea and drank it all in one gulp.

*

Mu Zhou used being busy with work as an excuse and didn't contact Gu Fengmian for several days.

But her WeChat Moments were updated with photos of her going for a massage with her best friend.

A week later, Gu Fengmian went straight to her office building and waited for her there.

His expression was mocking, and he snorted:

"Mu Zhou, do you not cherish me now that you've won me over?"

"What are you doing? Trying to use the silent treatment?"

"Don't try to brush me off with work. Is work more important than me? Do you even know my worth?"

"You don't cherish the opportunity to date me, so give it to someone else."

His expression wasn't good, so naturally, the words he spoke weren't very pleasant either.

He has never had to put up with anyone's attitude since he was a child.

Feeling slighted by Mu Zhou, she naturally vented her dissatisfaction.

Mu Zhou remained silent until he finished speaking, then said in a low voice:

“My work may not seem valuable to you, but it is very important to me.”

She glanced at him, her eyes filled with intense emotions, but ultimately lowered them again.

"I'm sorry, I did say I would always pursue you passionately and love you, but now I am indeed exhausted. Work and life have left me no time for anything else, and I have broken my promise."

Mu Zhou silently sniffed:

"You're right, I shouldn't keep taking your place. Let's break up..."

"okay!"

Gu Fengmian quickly interrupted her, rubbing his hair in frustration.

Meeting Mu Zhou's misty eyes, he felt as if his heart had been struck twice, and muttered:

"Since you know you were wrong, I'll forgive you. We'll see how you behave in the future."

Without saying a word, he pulled Mu Zhou into the car.

*

After dinner, Gu Fengmian parked his car downstairs at Muzhou Building.

He took a luxury shopping bag from the back seat and casually handed it to Mu Zhou.

"It's for you."

Mu Zhou paused for a moment, then opened it and took a look.

It's the kind of bag she likes.

No exaggeration, no big logo, understated yet practical, and versatile.

This is what Gu Fengmian concluded after repeatedly delivering the wrong bag to Mu Zhou and never seeing Mu Zhou carry the bag he gave him.

Seeing the joy in Mu Zhou's eyes, he felt a little smug, but his mouth remained stubborn:

"I was just passing by and saw it there, so I bought it on a whim. Don't be too happy, this amount of money is nothing to me."

"Thank you."

All the awkwardness gradually melted away after her gentle "thank you," filling Gu Fengmian's heart with a sweet feeling.

He raised an eyebrow in a good mood and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel:

"By the way, I'm hosting a small party at home this weekend. Everyone who's coming is someone I'm really close to. My brother's coming too, you should come too."

Mu Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded gently.
