After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Chapter 146: Long-lasting thoughts, not afraid of the passage of time

Zhou Muyun was exhausted from chasing after Gu Yichen. "Since you care so much about Lin Qingran, why didn't you get together with her in the first place?"

Gu Yichen retorted: "I don't care about her!"

The voice was a bit loud, and it felt as if he was trying to cover up his mistake.

He paused, then added: "I'm just not used to Lin Qingran's transformation yet."

"You say that, but who knows what you're thinking?" Zhou Muyun frowned and said, "You've really been acting weird lately. I can't understand you anymore."

Gu Yichen's expression was slightly cold, "What do you want to say?"

"You promised me before that you wouldn't bother Lin Qingran. You should keep your distance from Lin Qingran in the future. This will be good for both of you."

"When did I bother her?" Gu Yichen raised his voice unconsciously, "It was Lu Siheng who started the trouble today, and I'm going to marry Shushu, why would I bother Lin Qingran?"

Zhou Muyun raised an eyebrow, "Didn't the wedding get cancelled?"

Gu Yichen explained: "It's a postponement, not a cancellation."

"So when are you two going to get married?"

"It will be the day after tomorrow."

"Are you so anxious?"

Zhou Muyun thought he would at least wait until the storm had passed.

Gu Yichen's expression was cold, "I want to give Shushu an explanation as soon as possible."

Zhou Muyun glanced at him and said nothing more. He opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Gu Yichen also got in the car and sat in the passenger seat, staring at the direction of the western restaurant with mixed feelings.

In the past, Lin Qingran's heart and eyes were filled with him alone.

But it’s not like that now.

Why did she change her heart so quickly?

In what way is he inferior to Lu Siheng?

Gu Yichen felt very uncomfortable thinking about how Lin Qingran and Lu Siheng did not forget to flirt with each other while having dinner just now.

But he knew that this discomfort came only from the fact that he had not yet gotten used to Lin Qingran's changes.

But he knew that he would get used to it one day.

One day, he won't feel bad about it anymore.

Gu family.

It was already late at night when Gu Yichen finished his work.

The clock on the wall pointed to midnight in thirty-five minutes.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.

Xia Shu appeared at the door with an exquisite box in her hand.

"Happy birthday, Achen." She had a gentle smile on her face.

Gu Yichen was in a daze for a few seconds before he remembered that it was his birthday after midnight.

Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, he arranged his wedding with Xia Shu on the day after his birthday, so the two days were very close to each other.

Xia Shu's smile made him temporarily forget his tiredness. He looked at Xia Shu standing in the light and shadow. She was wearing a white dress, her hair was naturally loose, and her face was delicately made up.

Gu Yichen spoke with a dry voice, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Cake." Xia Shu walked towards him carrying a cake and placed the cake box on the desk in front of him. "I made it for you."

Gu Yichen could see the shape of the cake inside through the transparent box. It was a very simple white cake with the words "Happy Birthday, Gu Yichen" written crookedly on it with strawberry jam.

He raised his eyes and met Xia Shu's gentle face. His throat slid for a moment and he said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Gu Yichen put his arm around Xia Shu's waist and brought her into his arms.

Xia Shu sat on his lap, holding his shoulders with her hands.

"Achen, this is the first time I celebrate your birthday with you."

Gu Yichen has no habit of celebrating his birthday. He has been very busy since taking over the company. He has no time to hold a party, and he doesn't see the need to do so.

"It's great to have you here." He gently stroked the ends of Xia Shu's hair with his fingertips.

Xia Shu usually doesn't do housework, but she was able to make him a cake with her own hands, which shows how much she put in.

Sometimes I can't help but think that there is nothing wrong in marrying Xia Shu and spending the rest of my life in love with each other.

He hugged Xia Shu tenderly for a while, glanced at the time, and said, "It's late, go back and rest."

"I want to accompany you through midnight."

There are seven minutes left to midnight.

Gu Yichen laughed, "I'm already very happy that you can come to accompany me. Be obedient and go back to rest early. The wedding is the day after tomorrow. Shouldn't you take advantage of these two days to take care of your skin?"

After saying that, he kissed her on the forehead.

Xia Shu turned sideways and stared at Gu Yichen for a while, then said softly, "Okay, then you should also go to bed early and stop working overtime."

"Ah."

Gu Yichen watched Xia Shu leave, stood up and poured tea.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind him again.

Thinking it was Xia Shu, he didn't even turn his head, "Why are you here again?"

"Hello sir, I'm an errand boy, and here is a birthday present for you."

Gu Yichen looked back and saw a young errand boy in uniform standing at the door with two gift boxes in his hands.

He frowned and asked uncertainly, "A birthday present for me?"

"Are you Mr. Gu Yichen?"

Gu Yichen nodded, "I am."

"That's right."

The errand boy came in and placed two gift boxes on his desk, next to the birthday cake that Xia Shu brought.

"Please sign to prove that you received the gift." The young man neatly took out a list from his bag and handed it to him.
