Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 240
Chen Xiao didn't come back that night, and when Gu Shi'an woke up the next morning, the bedroom was empty.The other side of the bed was freezing cold.

She suffered from severe insomnia some time ago, and she slept soundly as long as she fell asleep during this time.I closed my eyes and fell asleep until dawn.

She lay down for a while to clear her mind before washing up and going downstairs.

It's still early, Ye Qing was always there in the past.But today it was quiet downstairs, and I don't know where they went.

Gu Shi'an looked around and walked towards the kitchen.In the kitchen, the porridge was already cooked, and there were steamed buns on the steamer.

If they are still making breakfast, it proves that they should all be there.I don't know where to go now.

Gu Shi'an opened the door to look in the yard. It snowed heavily last night without knowing it.There was no one in the yard, it was a vast expanse of whiteness.

The cold wind blew in, and she shivered uncontrollably.

Gu Shi'an wanted to make a call, but in the end he didn't. He went to the kitchen to look at the boiling millet porridge and steamed buns.

The big old house was very quiet, and she suddenly remembered coming when the old lady was there.

The porridge and steamed stuffed bun should be ready in a while, she stirred it with a wooden spoon, hesitated for a while, and went to the old lady's room.

The old house has not changed, and the old lady's place has not changed at all.It's the same as before.The chair by the bed is still there, as if one day when you open the door, you can see the old lady sitting on the chair to rest.

As if afraid of disturbing the old lady, Gu Shian opened the door softly.Slowly approached the house.There is also a photo of the old lady on the bedside. The old man in the photo is kind and smiling.

Gu Shi'an's eye sockets suddenly became astringent. She sat down, picked up the photo of the old lady, and gently wiped the frame.

This place has always been cleaned by Ye Qing himself, the photo frames are clean and spotless.

Scenes of the old man's life came to mind, and Gu Shi'an's eyes were sore.She just closed her eyes and sat there for a long time.

She stayed in the old lady's room for more than ten minutes, and only then opened the door to go out when she heard faint voices outside.

Ye Qing and the aunt at home came back from nowhere, each carrying a bamboo basket in their hands.Gu Shi'an couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and walked over.

Ye Qing smiled when he saw her face, and said: "Get up. It's snowing outside again, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Gu Shi'an now said that he had slept long enough.The basket was covered with a blue cloth. She looked at it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Ye Qing smiled, lifted the blue cloth, and said: "It's wine. No one has taken care of the wine cellar for a long time. Chen Xiao called me in the morning and asked me to clean up the wine cellar over there." Alcohol, by the way, find a few bottles for him to use."

Gu Shian's heart skipped a beat.

Last night Chen Xun mentioned asking her to find wine to get Chen Xiao drunk, but today, Chen Xiao called Ye Qing to clean up the wine.If this is a coincidence, then this coincidence is too coincidental.

Ye Qing didn't notice anything wrong with Gu Shi'an, and continued: "The wine inside is all good wine, and no one has taken care of it for a long time. There are still a lot of old good wine in it. The old man was addicted to alcohol when he was here , every time there is good wine, it will be hidden, and the wine cellar will be specially enlarged..."

Speaking of Ye Qing's ramblings in the past, Gu Shi'an didn't show any strangeness on his face, and waited for her to finish speaking before pretending to say casually: "How did Chen Xiao think of asking you to take care of that place?" gone?"

Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "He said he was going to give it away or something, I didn't ask much."

It's not safe for the nanny to take care of those wines, that's why I called Ye Qing.Ye Qing had nothing to do when he was idle, Chen Xiao asked her to take care of the wine cellar, she would naturally do what he said.I won't ask too many questions.

Gu Shi'an's heart was in a mess, he squeezed out a smile and nodded.Did not continue on this topic.

Because I went to the wine cellar, I will have breakfast later than usual today.Gu Shi'an didn't have much appetite, so he went upstairs after eating only half a bowl of porridge.

After closing the door, her heart sank continuously.If the wine incident is a coincidence... then it proves that there are Chen Xun's people by Chen Xiao's side.And this person should be more trusted by him.

Assistant Sun suddenly appeared in Gu Shi'an's mind, and she immediately shook her head vigorously.It shouldn't be Assistant Sun, he has followed Chen Xiao for many years.And what kind of person Chen Xun is, and how capable he is.

It was only now that Gu Shi'an realized that she didn't know who was around Chen Xiao.No, what is unclear is not now, she was also unclear in the past.

She stood in front of the window for a long time, until her legs became sore, and then she went downstairs.

She went downstairs, instead of sitting in the living room, she went directly to the kitchen.There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, and there is chicken soup cooked by my aunt on the stove.

She selected some ingredients from the refrigerator and was about to start cooking.Qi Shiyun walked over.

She rarely spoke, and spent most of her time either in the living room watching TV or in the upstairs room.

Gu Shi'an thought she was looking for something, put down the ingredients in his hands, and said, "Are you looking for something?"

Qi Shiyun seldom came to the kitchen either now or before.Not familiar with this side.

Qi Shiyun didn't answer, but looked at the ingredients she took, and asked, "What are those for?"

They had just eaten, and it was a bit early to make lunch now.

Gu Shi'an felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Chen Xiao didn't come back last night, so I'm going to make him a lunch box and take it with him."

Qi Shiyun used to disdain her behavior like this, but now she didn't say anything, just nodded.

She didn't say what she wanted, and she didn't leave.Standing by the kitchen door.

Although she has changed a lot, Gu Shi'an is still uncomfortable facing her.Fortunately, she didn't stand for long. After 2 minutes, she asked, "Is Chen Zhengkang going downstairs?"

Chen Xiao reported good news but not bad news, he didn't tell Gu Shi'an, and he didn't tell her either.

Chen Xiao never mentioned this matter later, Gu Shi'an didn't expect her to ask, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I'll ask Assistant Sun later."

Qi Shiyun didn't say much, just nodded and left.

Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief, and then started cooking.

She moved quickly, and by 11:30, she had already prepared a rich bento, and filled a lot of chicken soup in an insulated box.

After finishing all this, she called Assistant Sun and asked if Chen Xiao was there that day.She made a bento and sent it over.

Assistant Sun said that Chen Xiao was outside, but he would go back later.He also said that the road was slippery and told Gu Shian not to go out.

Gu Shi'an said that he would take it slowly, and then hung up the phone.

It is rare that there is no traffic jam on the road. She drove her own car, but it only took an hour to arrive.The heater was always on in the car, and the bento and chicken soup were still warm when they arrived.

Assistant Sun had already told Chen Xiao. As soon as her car stopped, Chen Xiao came out.He took her large and small insulation boxes out of the car, stepped forward to take them, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to run around?"

Gu Shi'an was a little hesitant, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you go back last night? Aunt Ye just made chicken soup..."

She didn't go on talking until here, and Chen Xiao didn't say anything more.The ground slipped, and he reached out and took her hand and walked inside.His palm was dry and warm, tightly wrapping Gu Shian's hand.

The office is the same as before, still empty.This time I didn't see the boy wearing glasses, only Chen Xiao and Assistant Sun were there.

The bento that Gu Shi'an brought was for three people, and he called Assistant Sun over to eat together.Assistant Sun was very self-conscious, and didn't disturb the two people's world of the two, and said that he would go out to eat outside later.In the end it was Chen Xiao who spoke, and he stayed.

The two of them ate bento outside, which didn't quite suit their appetite.The dishes that Gu Shi'an brought, even the chicken soup, were clean.

In the morning, the two of them didn't know if they didn't eat or what, and Chen Xiao also added extra food to save face.

Now that they were all here, Chen Xiao didn't rush Gu Shi'an back.Let her rest in the office.He didn't know what was going on outside, so he had to go out.Tell Gu Shi'an to let her wait, and he will go back together in the afternoon when he comes back.

I spent the whole night here last night, and I have to go back to change clothes today.

Chen Xiao drove away quickly, and there were only Gu Shi'an and Assistant Sun in the small office.Gu Shi'an was in the office, while Assistant Sun was always busy outside.

Gu Shi'an stayed in the office for a while, then went out and asked Assistant Sun if there was anything she could do to help.

Assistant Sun didn't ask her to help, saying that there was nothing wrong and he would take care of it.

Gu Shi'an didn't go into the office either. He looked around and asked casually, "Did you live here last night?"

Assistant Sun was taken aback for a moment, thinking she was Cha Gang, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, it's late for the party, Mr. Chen spent the whole night here, and I slept in the car."

The sofa in Chen Xiao's office is barely adequate.

Gu Shi'an was more or less uncomfortable, paused, and then asked: "Aunt Ye found some bottles of wine this morning, are you going to give them away?"

Assistant Sun nodded, and said vaguely: "Yes, there is a client who likes wine. Mr. Chen plans to match what he likes."

Gu Shi'an also nodded, but didn't speak anymore.She didn't go back to the office either, but just watched outside.It's rough and shabby here.She looked at it silently for a while, and then asked: "The people who used to be by Chen Xiao's side, are they still there now?"

Assistant Sun didn't expect her to ask about this, so he couldn't help being startled, then lowered his head and said, "No." With a bitter smile on his face, he said, "Even if you follow Mr. , You know Mr. Chen's current situation, and you can't afford it. It's just a day or two, and everyone has to live after a long time."

No, everyone has their own burdens and needs to support their families.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now.After a while, she asked, "Then why did you follow him?"

It's not surprising that she would ask that. Assistant Sun didn't mind. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chen is not only my boss, but also my benefactor."

Chen Xiao never mentioned the past to Gu Shi'an, and she didn't know the origin of it, so she stopped talking now.

She was a little uneasy.Looking around again, he asked, "Are you the only two here?"

"No. There are two other employees, but they are outside. They are not here often." In the past, Chen Xiao had a dedicated driver, but now the drivers are in rotation.Whoever is free will be busy.

Gu Shi'an knew that asking too much would easily arouse suspicion, so he stopped talking now.

She remembered what Qi Shiyun asked, she was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there any news from my father-in-law?"

Assistant Sun shook his head and said, "Not yet. As you know, Mr. Chen's network is not the same as before. Finding someone...is a bit laborious."

Chen Zhengkang's disappearance this time was actually quite strange, but what was strange was that Chen Xun didn't make any moves.It seems that Chen Zhengkang is really traveling.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now.

It was cold outside, and Assistant Sun asked her to go back to the office after standing for a while.She didn't stay any longer and went in.

She was absent-minded, she closed her eyes and lay down on the narrow sofa, thinking about how to get the words out of Assistant Sun's mouth.I know about Chen Xiao's situation.

Chen Xiao slept on the sofa last night, the quilt and pillow seemed to still have his smell.Also mixed with a touch of smoke.But not bad.

For some reason, thinking about something, she fell asleep without knowing it.

After waking up, the office was warm, but there was no sign of Chen Xiao.Gu Shi'an checked the time on his phone, only to realize that it was already past four in the afternoon.

She thought that Chen Xiao hadn't come back, but when she opened the door and went out, she heard the voice of him talking to Assistant Sun, that's when she knew that he had come back.

The two didn't know what they were talking about, and they stopped talking when they heard the sound of the door opening.Chen Xiao looked at her and said, "Wake up."

Gu Shi'an nodded, touched his nose, and asked, "When did you come back?"

She didn't even know a little bit.She has been sleeping deeply lately.

"Just came back," Chen Xiao said, and walked towards the office.He raised his wrist to check the time as he walked, and said, "Everything is done, you can go."

He didn't let Gu Shi'an do anything, so he went to clean up the incubator that Gu Shian brought over.

Going back was driven by Chen Xiao, and Gu Shi'an suddenly wanted to eat dessert.The car drove past a dessert shop on the side of the road, she looked outside, licked her lips, and said, "I want to buy something to eat."

Chen Xiao is like a fine person, how can she not know what she is thinking.He looked outside and said, "Okay."

He said that he changed the car and stopped by the side of the road.

Parking is not allowed here, Gu Shian was afraid that the traffic police would come, so he opened the car door and said, "I can go by myself, I will be back in a while."

She said she got out of the car.

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Slow down."

Gu Shian hummed and closed the car door.

She walked at a leisurely pace. Seeing her at the door of the store, Chen Xiao's frowning brows relaxed a little, and he looked away. Regardless of whether it was cold outside, he opened the car window a little and took out the car window. A cigarette was smoked.

He leaned back on the chair and took a puff of a cigarette. Suddenly, what Assistant Sun said in the office just now appeared in his mind.

At the beginning, his tone was tentative, asking Gu Shi'an if he knew something.

He frowned then, and immediately asked him what she said.

He asked Assistant Sun that way because he knew that he didn't tell him anything, so he said everything Gu Shi'an asked him.At the end, he said again: "Miss Gu Madam, she should know something. She asked the people around you, do you have any doubts?"

She hadn't asked these questions all this time, why did she ask all of a sudden?
He frowned tightly and didn't speak. After a while, he asked Assistant Sun to check the people below.

Chen Xiao came back to his senses and looked out the window.Gu Shian's movements were quite fast, and he has already returned.He stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it outside the car, slowly exhaling the smoke.

If she was really suspicious of something, where did her news channel come from?

Chen Xiao kept looking at the thin and small figure outside, waiting for her to get closer, and then he stretched out his hand to open the door for her.

Gu Shi'an bought lotus seed cake, some bread, and a small cake.By the way, I brought back two cups of milk tea.

She was afraid that Chen Xiao would say something about her, so she got into the car and said seriously: "It's fine to eat these things occasionally."

As she spoke, she inserted a cup of milk tea into a straw and handed it to Chen Xiao.Chen Xiao didn't pick it up, just drank from her hand, and then started the car.

On the way, Ye Qing called and asked the two if they would go back for dinner.Gu Shi'an said that he was already on his way back.

She was originally eating dessert, but after Ye Qing called, Chen Xiao refused to let her eat any more, saying that she needed to eat later, if she ate too much, she would not be able to eat.

The lotus seed cake was soft and glutinous. Gu Shi'an still wanted to eat it, but he still didn't dare to eat it, so he put it away.

When they went back, Ye Qing and Auntie were still busy in the kitchen, Qi Shiyun had already come to the living room.The relationship between her and Chen Xiao was still unfamiliar, and they stopped talking after greeting each other.

The dinner was rich, Ye Qing even prepared a wine glass and took out the wine, let Chen Xiao taste the good wine that the old man hid before.Not only let Chen Xiao taste it, everyone poured some.Gu Shi'an's Chen Xiao directly carried it over.

This was simply going according to Chen Xun's plan, and Gu Shi'an's heart sank.Afraid of being seen as strange, he didn't dare to show strangeness, and pretended to be nonchalant.

The wines collected by the old man are all good wines, and these things will arouse memories.Ye Qing chattered about all kinds of things when the old man was alive.

When the old man is mentioned, the old lady will definitely be mentioned.The atmosphere became a little depressing.

Although Ye Qing quickly changed the topic, but it didn't help.Everyone was silent for the next time, and no one spoke.

I don't know if the old man's wine is really good wine or what, Chen Xiao drank several glasses.Ye Qing regretted that he shouldn't have mentioned the old lady, repeatedly reminding Chen Xiao that alcohol has a strong aftertaste, he also smiled lightly and said it's okay.

In the end, Qi Shiyun frowned and asked him to drink less, so he stopped drinking.

But the stamina of old wine is great, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned reddish.After eating, Qi Shiyun frowned and asked Gu Shi'an to take him back to the bedroom.

This little wine will not make you drunk, and your walking pace is still steady.When I got to my room, I went to take a shower by myself.

Gu Shi'an was about to go downstairs to pour him some water when there was a knock on the door.She opened the door, and Qi Shiyun was standing outside the door. She took a tray with a glass of honey water in it, and gently asked Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao to come out and let him drink some.

She gave the things to Gu Shi'an and left.

As soon as Gu Shi'an put the things aside, he heard Chen Xiao vomiting from the bathroom.She walked over quickly and reached out to open the door, but she couldn't. The door was locked from the inside.

Now she called Chen Xiao hastily, but Chen Xiao was silent for a while.Just when Gu Shi'an wanted to go to Ye Qing to get the key to open the door, his voice came from inside, telling her that he was fine.

He didn't open the door either, and soon there was the sound of water splashing inside.

He seldom vomited while drinking, and Gu Shian was restless, walking around outside for a long time before the bathroom door opened from the inside.

Chen Xiao had already changed into a bathrobe, and her exposed chest was blushing.Seeing Gu Shi'an standing outside, he said, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy."

He didn't let Gu Shi'an help him, so he walked to the bed by himself.

His hair was still wet, Gu Shi'an took a dry towel and wiped it for him after getting into bed.

Chen Xiao let her go, when she was about to get out of bed to get a hairdryer to dry her hair, he suddenly reached out and hugged her.Gu Shi'an originally thought he was just hugging, but who knew that after just hugging for a moment, he suddenly kissed her lips.

There was a faint smell of mint toothpaste in his mouth.Not savage, there is a gentle lingering between the lips and teeth.A pair of big hands did not know when they supported the mountain.

Although he was still gentle, his breathing became rough unconsciously.

Gu Shi'an's mind was in a daze, and he heard him say in a hoarse voice, "Help me."

Gu Shi'an was in a hurry for a moment, but he had already held her hand.He is still sane at the moment.It's not like it used to be.

It has been too long since he has eaten meat, Chen Xiao is obviously not satisfied with this.He didn't know when he fell on the bed, and he hugged her from behind and trapped her in his arms.Just outside.

He was immersed in it, calling his daughter-in-law one after another in a hoarse voice.Gu Shian's face was flushed red.He closed his eyes tightly and bit his lips in silence.

The interior is beautiful, masking the cold outside.
