After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Chapter 12 Deleted

Gu Yichen picked up Xia Shu at the hospital gate and sent her back to the apartment.

After Xia Shu returned to China, in order to make it easier for her to commute to get off work, Gu Yichen bought her an apartment near Jingchen Entertainment, only a few hundred meters away from the company.

He packed her things himself and told her everything the doctor had instructed her to do.

After the assistant brought the packed food from the restaurant, Gu Yichen patiently unpacked the boxes and placed them in front of Xia Shu.

Xia Shu walked around the dining table and came behind him, gently hugging him from behind, with her face against his back.

"Achen, you are so nice to me."

Her voice was delicate, pleasant, gentle and moving. The smooth fabric of her long skirt gently brushed against Gu Yichen's arm. Her soft long hair fell from her ears, and every strand of it outlined a pure breath.

Gu Yichen's body visibly stiffened.

He took Xia Shu's hand that was around his waist, turned around, and looked at her calmly, "If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

Then he hooked his fingers into Xia Shu's soft long hair beside her ear and stroked it gently, "You will be my wife from now on."

Xia Shu's face was flushed, and her chin rested lightly on his chest, "Achen, when are we getting married?"

Gu Yichen tilted his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a doting tone: "You can get married whenever you want."

"Then let's go get the certificate tomorrow."

Gu Yichen was stunned, his lips quickly left her ear, and he said decisively: "No."

Xia Shu blinked, confused, "Why?"

"My father doesn't agree with your marriage yet. I still need to persuade him."

Xia Shu's expression darkened.

The air froze for a moment.

"Shushu, give me a little more time." Gu Yichen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Let's get married when the time is right, okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Xia Shu smiled softly, "When Lin Qingran and Lu Siheng get married, your father won't object to us being together."

Gu Yichen suddenly raised his head, and his eyes instantly cooled down.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Shu noticed his mood change in an instant and looked at him with confusion.

She thought that what she said just now was not wrong. The reason why Gu Haizhou rejected her was because there was a better choice, Lin Qingran.

Once Lin Qingran married Lu Siheng, there would be no possibility for Lin Qingran and Gu Yichen, so Gu Haizhou would give up that idea and would not interfere in Gu Yichen's marriage anymore.

Gu Yichen, however, pursed his lips tightly, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.

"You also know that Lin Qingran is going to marry Lu Siheng?"

"Yeah." Xia Shu said as a matter of course, "I heard that someone has received the wedding invitations from the Lin and Lu families."

With a "buzz" sound, something seemed to collapse in Gu Yichen's head.

The blood in my body was cold.

After a while, he stared into Xia Shu's eyes and said stiffly: "Who received the invitation?"

"A friend of mine..."

"show me."

Xia Shu looked at him puzzledly for a few seconds, turned around, took out the cell phone from the bedroom and handed it to Gu Yichen.

On the screen was an electronic version of the wedding invitation.

"You are a perfect match made in heaven. The wedding date has been set, so we are preparing a wedding banquet. We sincerely invite you and your family to witness it together..."

Further back, the words "Groom Lu Siheng" and "Bride Lin Qingran" are particularly eye-catching.

Gu Yichen's hand holding the phone had veins bulging and his knuckles turned white.

As the invitation played, soothing piano music also played from the phone, which was very light and pleasant.

But Gu Yichen's chest felt as heavy as a rock.

After reading the invitation, he returned the phone to Xia Shu and said, "I remember I have something else to do at the company, so I'll leave first."

Xia Shu pulled his sleeve and said, "It's so late, can't we go tomorrow?"

"It's important. I have to be there."

After saying this in a deep voice, Gu Yichen turned around and left without even looking at her.

Xia Shu stood there in a daze, the gentleness on her face gradually collapsed and turned gloomy.

Gu Yichen lied to him on the phone.

He was clearly at the Lin family at that time, but he said he was at the company.

She didn't want to speculate why Gu Yichen lied to her, because Gu Yichen's love for her had always been firm. He hated that woman Lin Qingran so much that he didn't want to see her at all. No matter how attentive Lin Qingran was, she couldn't compare to her position in Gu Yichen's heart.

But now, something seems different.

Upon learning that Lin Qingran was going to marry Lu Siheng, Gu Yichen's reaction was so abnormal.

Xia Shu clenched her palms and smiled coldly.

Lin Qingran's move of retreating to advance is really disgusting.

Gu Yichen went downstairs and returned to the car. Instead of driving away immediately, he sat in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette.

After calming down, he figured it out. Based on his understanding of Lin Qingran, her wedding invitation to Lu Siheng must be fake.

She acted this scene very realistically, and she looked like she was determined to keep going.

He knew very well how deep Lin Qingran's feelings for him were. She was the daughter of the Lin family, with good looks and family background, and he was the only man she had loved deeply over the years.

But feelings are inherently unreasonable. If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it.

"Achen, you haven't eaten yet?"

Someone knocked on the half-open car window. Gu Yichen turned around and saw that Xia Shu had come down from the car at some point and handed him a lunch box with her slender white hands.

"I picked out some dishes you like, you can fill your stomach first."

Gu Yichen took the lunch box, looked at Xia Shu's innocent smile, and remained silent for a long time.

"Achen, I'll go upstairs first. Please be careful on the road when you drive."

After saying this softly, Xia Shu turned and left, and the pure white gauze skirt disappeared from his sight.

She is a very sensible and understanding woman.

I knew he wanted to be alone, so I didn't say much and didn't disturb him.

Gu Yichen put the lunch box on the passenger seat and continued smoking.

After a while, the phone screen lit up.

【Achen, are you leaving? 】

Gu Yichen frowned and stared at the message sent by Xia Shu, but he was slow to type a reply.

He scrolled down with his fingertips and found Lin Qingran's profile picture.

The chat history stopped a few days ago.

[Are you really going to marry Xia Shu? ]

He did not respond to Lin Qingran's message.

In fact, he ignored many of the messages Lin Qingran sent him, so when he looked back at the chat history, he always saw Lin Qingran talking to herself. He would occasionally reply with just a few words, which was very perfunctory.

Because he didn't think it was necessary to talk to her too much.

Ever since the day when Lin Qingran kidnapped Xia Shu and jumped off the building, she never sent him a message again.

This has never happened before.

He put out his cigarette and typed on the keyboard: [What about you? Are you really going to marry Lu Siheng...]

Even though I knew she was acting, I still wanted to hear her say it was fake.

As for the reason behind it, he didn't know.

Just as my finger was about to click "Send", the phone made another "ding" sound.

Another message from Xia Shu popped up.

【Will you come over after get off work in the evening? 】

Gu Yichen looked at the news, his fingertips paused slightly, and then stopped in mid-air.

【Not going there tonight. 】

He continued typing.
