The two sides had conflicting information, and he felt like a fool in front of Gu Suian. He always felt it was unfair, but he didn't want to force Gu Suian to speak.
Wen Feiran pondered for a moment, then let out a long breath.
Liking someone is instinctive, but it also requires mutual consent.
That's enough. He has gotten everything he wanted to know; it's time for Gu Suian to make the choice.
Wen Feiran tried her best to control her heartbeat and breathing, her expression tense, as if this would allow her to detach herself and not reveal any of her true emotions.
"So what are your plans next?"
Wen Feiran's gaze lingered on Gu Suian, meticulously tracing his features, not wanting to miss a single micro-expression.
But he still couldn't understand Gu Suian's emotions. Gu Suian's body moved slightly, as if she wanted to raise her hand, but her brows furrowed first, and a suppressed cry of pain escaped from the corner of her mouth.
Wen Feiran's body reacted first. He strode to Gu Suian's side, knelt down beside him, his expression serious, his brows furrowed, as if the sky had fallen.
Gu Suian had been touching the teacup the whole time. He had been wondering if the tea was too hot, but hadn't paid much attention. Only now, after asking, did he notice that Gu Suian's fingernails were deathly white and his fingertips were slightly red and swollen.
"Why are you holding that teacup?!" This was the first time Wen Feiran had ever acted so fiercely in front of Gu Suian.
Gu Suian, however, seemed pleased, her eyes slightly lowered, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of her lips. "I forgot."
Wen Feiran: "..."
Can physical pain be forgotten? And you're still laughing!!
Wen Feiran had always looked up to Gu Suian, thinking him like a god, perfect in every way, but now she discovered that he was so unreliable, not even as good as a child.
Wen Feiran glared angrily at Gu Suian, but looking at Gu Suian handsome face, she couldn't bring herself to say anything bad. She could only stand up and walk out, saying, "I'll go ask if the store has any burn ointment?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his wrist being gently grasped.
He could have easily broken free, but mindful of Gu Suian's burned hand, he obediently followed the force and sat back down next to Gu Suian.
Gu Suian hesitated for a moment, then slowly straightened up, giving Wen Feiran time to break free or escape. Wen Feiran, however, obediently sat next to him, staring at him without blinking.
Gu Suian gently cupped Wen Feiran's face with his other, uninjured hand, his palm not touching hers, showing his carefulness. "You just asked me what my plans were..."
Gu Suian gazed intently at Wen Feiran. "I've thought about this for a long time. For you right now, it's probably impossible to immediately accept and adapt to our relationship. I don't want to let you go either. I've considered this carefully for a long time and come up with a foolproof solution."
Gu Suian slowly exhaled, his eyelashes trembling slightly as if unable to bear it. For the first time, Wen Feiran felt a trace of shyness from him.
"I plan to pursue you until you're willing to marry me again."
Chapter 55 I Will Be Good
Wen Feiran opened the car window, and the night breeze rushed in, carrying away the stuffiness in the car and bringing a touch of clarity to his mind.
He turned his head as if he were looking intently at the scenery outside the window, but his eyes were unfocused. Taking advantage of the Gu Suian couldn't see his expression, he bit his lower lip tightly and couldn't help but make a crying face.
What has he done?!
When Gu Suian asked that question, his mind went blank. When he came to his senses, he realized that his mouth had moved on its own, and he had said, "My legs are numb."
Was it appropriate to say such a thing in that situation?
It completely ruined the atmosphere!!
Now that Wen Feiran has calmed down, she is extremely dissatisfied with her performance and wishes she could do it all over again.
But this isn't filming a movie; there's no second chance. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
The conversation fizzled out, but Gu Suian wasn't discouraged. She smiled faintly and simply offered to take him home.
Wen Feiran agreed almost against her will and sat in the passenger seat of Gu Suian's car.
The private atmosphere inside the car instantly brought the two closer, and an indescribable ambiance enveloped them once again, as sticky as honey. Wen Feiran was restless, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.
Gu Suian didn't say anything, and Wen Feiran was too overwhelmed to handle it, so she could only use this action to ease the situation.
While waiting at a red light, Wen Feiran noticed that there were many cars on both sides, so she shrank back uncomfortably, pressing herself tightly against the seat to minimize her presence.
Gu Suian gripped the steering wheel, his posture relaxed, his eyes fixed on the road, but he accurately sensed the man's emotions and explained, "Don't worry, the people outside can't see us."
Wen Feiran then let out a long breath, paused for three seconds, and then looked at Gu Suian with an ambiguous expression.
They're a legally married couple now, so even if they're photographed, it's no big deal... right?
It seems that Gu Suian understands him better than he does. Although he likes Gu Suian very much, this is the first time he has fallen in love. He has no experience in this matter and no sense of reality about marriage. He is even a little confused. If he were to have a legally married relationship with Gu Suian, he would be at a loss and very restrained.
Wen Feiran's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned to look at Gu Suian.
The car lights outside were dim, Gu Suian's features, set against a cool backdrop, exuded an air of nobility. His impeccably tailored suit and white shirt, with the top button fastened to just cover his Adam's apple, added to his aloofness. Wen Feiran seemed bewitched, her gaze uncontrollably lingering on his face and the corners of his mouth before slowly moving downwards, past his prominent Adam's apple, and landing on Gu Suian's well-defined hands.
The car started moving, Wen Feiran suddenly woke up, averting her gaze as if electrocuted. To hide her unease, she made eight hundred small movements in a second, pretending to fix her hair and covering her face with her hand.
He had to admit that Gu Suian was exactly his type; looking at Gu Suian's face, he would forget everything else.
