After Gu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and saw Tao Yao sitting in the resting area.
Tao Yao also clearly saw him.
She saw him. It would be a little fake if she pretended not to see him.
Tao Yao thought about it and directly stood up and walked over. “Young Master Chen, what a coincidence.”
Gu Chen nodded slightly. “Miss Tao, are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes, my friend is coming back today,”Tao Yao said truthfully, but her gaze fell on Chu Xuxu.
This kind of woman was a perfect match for Gu Chen.
“The friend you helped to bring back the things?”Could the whole world hear that she was the friend of her heartthrob?
Tao Yao’s face showed a trace of something else because Gu Chen’s question was very abrupt. Logically speaking, they did not have any relationship, not even as friends. For example, she called him young master Chen, and he called her Miss Tao.
Wasn’t he supposed to leave after greeting her?
Why did he ask to pick up a friend?
However, Tao Yao still nodded. “That’s right. She’s out visiting. She’ll be back today.”
As if she had gotten a satisfactory answer, she said, “Then we’ll be leaving first.”
“Goodbye, Young Master Chen,”Tao Yao said with a smile. She took a step back to make way for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen left with Chu Xuxu. Chu Xuxu turned around and looked at the girl on the other side. “Your Friend?”
“A former partner,”Gu Chen replied. “How long will you be staying here this time?”
Chu Xuxu’s expression changed a little when she asked this question. It could even be said that she was pale.
Gu Chen seemed to know what she was thinking. He took her out, put her luggage away, and then brought her to the car.
Gu Chen helped Chu Xuxu put on her seatbelt. “Are you really not going to tell uncle? This is not a small matter.”
“Father will beat him to death.”Chu Xuxu suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Chen. She reached out and held Gu Chen’s hand. “Gu Chen, you can’t tell Father.”
Gu Chen looked at the pale-faced girl in front of him. They were of the same age and had the best relationship among the younger generation. However, he didn’t understand why so many things had happened in city a all these years that he had been back in City B, or rather, so many things had happened to her.
“Do you like him?”Gu Chen threw out another question.
“I…”Chu Xuxu wrung her hands and lowered her eyes, but she didn’t give an answer.
Gu Chen didn’t start the car immediately. Instead, he kept looking at Chu Xuxu. “Xiao Xiao…”
“I’m his sister. How Can I… Like Him?”Chu Xuxu said in a low voice with a hint of self-mockery.
She and Chu Yuechen were siblings. Moreover, her adoptive parents were so good to her. How could she be together with her younger brother?
Gu Chen pressed his hands on her shoulders, forcing her to face him. “Smile, you’re not related to him by blood. If you like him –”
“He won’t like me. I’m just an older sister to him.”Chu Xuxu replied with some excitement, as if she had already gotten the answer.
Gu Chen wanted to say something, but in the end, he hugged her and patted her on the back. “There’s still me.”
Outside the car, Tao Yao held Zhong Zhuo’s arm and looked at the people who were hugging and kissing inside. She couldn’t describe the feeling. Perhaps, she shouldn’t have looked at them.
“Tao Yao, don’t you think that your family is now considered to be the second generation? My Heartthrob has resupplied you –“Zhong Zhuo said excitedly, but he suddenly realized that Tao Yao wasn’t listening to him. “Tao Yao, Tao Yao…”
