The Reluctant Bride

Dreams are too long, too long.

In the dream, those entangled pasts. It made her feel extremely tired. She still remembers that Gu Xuewu woke up that day and grabbed her hand with an angry expression.

"I touched you?"

"Yes." Qiao Xinwan knew that there was no turning back arrow in the bow. Taking this step, you have made a choice: "Gu Xuewu, I am yours, and you are responsible to me."

"Responsible?" Gu Xuewu heard some joke: "Are you sure I touched you?"

"Of course." Qiao Xinwan boldly pointed to the red stain on the bed: "You were drunk last night."

"Qiao Xinwan..." Gu Xuewu wanted to laugh, it was really ridiculous, too ridiculous. He has always been self-disciplined, what he has done. Will it be unclear?

How much did he drink yesterday? Will you feel it if you touch Qiao Xinwan? Seeing the certainty on Qiao Xinwan's face, he smirked: "Okay. Well, you are Qiao Xinwan, don't you just want to marry me? I will fulfill you. I will marry you."

"Xuewu?" This time it was Qiao Xinwan's turn to be surprised. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly: "You, you want to marry me?"

"Yes." Gu Xuewu nodded vigorously: "Qiao Xinwan, you are ready, I will marry you, but I will never touch you in my life. If you can accept it, then we will get married."

...

"Gu Xuewu?" Qiao Xinwan was shocked, looking at Gu Xuewu's face. What does he mean?

Later, Qiao Xinwan finally understood what Gu Xuewu meant. He used marriage as a punishment and had to keep his widowhood for a lifetime.

She hates, she is angry, but she understands that in this world, Gu Xuewu is no more cruel.

Three years of marriage consumed all her enthusiasm. No matter how beautiful she is or how beautiful she is. Gu Xuewu couldn't see her in his eyes.

She used to be an intern in the company at home, because at first Gu Xuewu was in a province, she followed, but she couldn't stand that kind of life.

In that small county, there is no big shopping mall and no place to play. Not to mention first-tier brands, there are no third-tier brands. The clothes sold are not known to the North for a few years.

The county government and government buildings are dilapidated and old, and the place where they live does not even have air conditioning. Qiao Xinwan really couldn't stand it. After staying for less than a month, she came back. After that, she stayed with Gu Xuewu and stayed a lot.

After he got married, he had an open career and made great achievements in the local area. All the way up. From the county head to the district head, then to the deputy mayor, and later transferred to city c as mayor.

Many times, he had the opportunity to stay in the northern capital, but he didn't want it. For three years, she insisted on this marriage, a little bit of enthusiasm wear off, a little bit of fantasy disappeared.

She finally saw it clearly, no matter how much she gave, no matter how much she tried. Gu Xuewu doesn't love himself, not at all.

Sitting in front of the window, looking out from this time, the roses in the garden are blooming very beautifully at this time. The room she lives in is on the second floor of the villa, with the best lighting and vision.

As the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, she has been loved by her parents since she was a child. The family is well-off and looks outstanding.

Qiao Xinwan sometimes wondered if it was because she got too much. There are too many people than ordinary people, so God will not make her too proud. She can never have her own love?

Fucked eyebrows, looking at the child in his stomach. I thought of the person who appeared today.

Zhou Ying, didn't she go back then, why is she back now?

She came back, just to be with Gu Xuewu.

Does that mean that she really has no hope? Does it mean that her life has really become two parallel lines with Gu Xuewu? No intersection anymore?

Forget it, forget it. So be it. She has already decided to let it go, so why bother with whom Gu Xuewu is with? Why bother about which Gu Xuewu will choose?

That's it all.

…………………………

Li Lan looked at Gu Xuewu who was sitting opposite to him without saying a word, and the corners of his lips raised, with a bit of playfulness.

The legs are raised gracefully, and the interest in his eyes is not diminished: "Gu Xuewu. Do you find it boring to be with me?"

"No." Gu Xuewu calculated the time in his heart. Wang Xiu'e and Mrs. Li have been away for some time, and it is estimated that he will not come back so soon, and he has faced this man named Li Lan for more than 15 minutes...

"Miss Li, I..."

"You have something else, do you want to go first?" Li Lan turned his head slightly at this time, looking at the coldness on Gu Xuewu's face: "I don't mind, you go first."

Gu Xuewu did not get up, his eyes swept across Li Lan's face again, only one thought, this woman is not simple.

The thoughts only flashed by, but his expression did not move at all. He stood up, and he turned and left, not to see the deep thoughts that Li Lan showed after he left. .

………………

"Really? Great." Chen Jingru's voice rang in the living room, looking at Zuo Panqing's belly: "I didn't expect that I said that Panqing had such a big belly. It turned out to be pregnant with twins. It was so happy. Up."

Zuo Panqing's expression was a bit embarrassed, but more of it was also happy. It was a bit embarrassing to see Gu Tianchu's smile on his face that didn't fit his lips together: "Yes. Xuewen has always said that taking too many B-scans is not good for children. I didn’t go for further checkups. I took my blood pressure every time. I didn’t expect it to be two."

"It's great, it's really great." Chen Jingru clapped her hands and looked at Gu Zhiqiang: "If I had a baby, I don't know how good it would be."

Dragon and Phoenix? That Zuo Panqing couldn't think about it. One child can give birth to two, whether it is a girl or a boy, she will be very happy.

"Mom. Your requirements are too high." Gu Xuewen couldn't help but talk: "This is inherently less likely to have twins, and there are even fewer dragons and phoenixes. Do you want to make it difficult for you to hope for the clear?"

"Yo yo yo." Chen Jingru joked with her son: "Look at my son, tsk tsk, if I just say a word, it becomes embarrassing and hopeful?"

"Study Wen." Zuo Panqing flushed, and gave Gu Xuewen angrily: "It's okay, I hope so."

But what it was, she wasn't sure.

"Panqing. I just said casually, don't be under pressure. I am so happy today." Chen Jingru glanced at the living room: "Sister-in-law hasn't come back yet? Otherwise, everyone is here today. Let's celebrate."

"I want to celebrate." Gu Tianchu was also happy: "Panqing has two children. This is a big happy event. You must celebrate."

"No need, right?" Zuo Panqing looked at Gu Xuewen in a daze. He patted her shoulder: "It's okay, Grandpa is happy."

Gu Xuewu's figure just appeared in the living room at this time and was stopped by Gu Zhigang.

"Xuewu, you are back. Didn't you go shopping with your mother?" Why did you come back alone?

"She met Mrs. Li and went shopping with her." Gu Xuewu looked at the happy expressions on the family's faces, and his voice was faint: "I don't think she is that fast, she will come back first, but I have asked the driver to stay for a while. Pick her up."

Gu Zhigang nodded, just about to say something, Gu Tianchu said: "Xuewu, you don't go out today. Panqing is pregnant and she is twins. I will eat at home tonight, and I will call Xuemei out later. Our family It’s been a long time since it was so lively."

"Twins?" A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Xuewu's eyes. He glanced at Zuo Panqing and then returned to Gu Xuewen: "Congratulations."

"You're welcome." Gu Xuewen looked at Gu Xuewu, the corners of his lips raised, and even dared to make fun of him in front of his elders: "I'm going to be a father, do you want to speed up?"

Gu Xuewu's face suddenly became cold, but he didn't say anything because of the presence of his elders.

Turned around to leave, but was stopped by Gu Zhigang. He just heard Gu Xuewen's words and thought of another thing: "Study Wu. You have been in C city for almost a year. Have you ever thought of transferring back to Beidu?"

Gu Xuewu was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to shake his head, but saw Gu Xuewen winking at him. He didn't say a word, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have a chance?"

"Yes." Gu Zhigang nodded: "There is a shortage of people at the Ministry of Commerce. Old Chen has already recommended you to it. Yesterday I asked what I mean, if you want, this meeting is over. Almost the notice can be down. "

"The Ministry of Commerce?" Gu Xuewu was taken aback for a moment.

"Yes. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation lacks a director. You have this qualification, and your political performance has been excellent in recent years. There is no problem at all."

Don't think it's just a director, it will be different when you enter Beijing. As long as the political achievements are outstanding, the future will be limitless.

"Okay." Gu Xuewu nodded lightly, his expression still calm. Turned around and wanted to go back to his room. Gu Xuewen patted Zuo Panqing on the shoulder, and followed Gu Xuewu.

"Something." Gu Xuewu kept walking when he heard him following him.

"Something." Gu Xuewen said inconveniently when the elders were there just now. But after listening to Zuo Panqing's words, Gu Xuewen felt it was very possible.

Gu Xuewu didn't speak either, and the two entered the study in his yard together.

Gu Xuewen entered the door without going around: "Have you seen Qiao Xinwan since you came back?"

Hearing Gu Xuewen mentioning her name, Gu Xuewu had a hint of disgust in his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "I have seen it, something?"

"She is pregnant."

"I know." What else would Gu Xuewu take: "I met her today."

The calmness on his face made Gu Xuewen relieved besides being puzzled: "So, her child is not yours?"

"Impossible." Gu Xuewu shook his head, confident of himself: "How could her child be mine."

"Is that so?" Gu Xuewen nodded, noncommittal: "That's good, I thought she was pregnant before divorcing you."

"We got divorced last year." Gu Xuewu looked calm: "It's none of my business how she is now."

"Oh." Gu Xuewu looked at the determination on Gu Xuewu's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of deep meaning inside: "Panqing is pregnant with twins, so she has such a big belly. A normal woman, eight months pregnant, is also Only such a big belly."

Gu Xuewu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he ran into Qiao Xinwan today, her stomach is similar to Zuo Panqing. Zuo Panqing was pregnant with two, Qiao Xinwan couldn't have been two so coincidentally, right?
