My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies
Chapter 68: Mutual Love or One-sided Willingness
The music in the restaurant was soft and romantic, but Nangong Jin had no mood to appreciate it.
She turned her head and glanced at He Zichen resentfully without saying anything. He Zichen was extremely considerate, half-kneeling beside her and staring at her.
"What did you say to her? How did you make her angry and leave?" She wanted to vent her anger on him, but when she saw his flattering attitude, her tone softened unconsciously.
"At least wait until after dinner before rejecting her!"
He Zichen secretly held her hand hidden under the table, "Nangong Jin, I can't do it, you are the only one in my heart!"
His bony hands tightly grasped Nangong Jin, and the warmth and softness from his palms made Nangong Jin's face turn red.
"So what did you tell her?"
He Zichen's voice was soft and gentle, "I told her: I don't like you!"
Then he looked at Nangong Jin affectionately, "You are not even one ten-thousandth as good as the person I like!"
After hearing these sudden love words, Nangong Jin instantly lost his composure. He picked up the water cup a little at a loss and drank a sip of water hurriedly to hide his shyness.
Little did they know that this whole scene was seen by Nangong Zhi who had just returned. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance and pain.
Why is he so nice to others but so cruel to herself? She will definitely find out who He Zichen likes. At this moment, she obviously has not suspected Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin didn't take this little episode to heart at all, because today was the day she was going to have dinner at Gu's house. Whenever she thought of Gu Jingxing, her heart ached.
"Knock knock knock..."
"coming!"
When Nangong Jin opened the door, she saw Gu Jingxing's tender eyes staring at her.
"why you?"
"I'm here to pick you up, in case someone is busy and stands me up!"
Nangong Jin lowered his eyes and muttered, "How could I be like this!"
Gu Jingxing chuckled and took her hand, "Let's go, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold!"
Nangong Jin glared at him, "Brother, this sentence is not suitable for this occasion!"
Gu Jingxing raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly in a good mood, "As long as I like it, it's fine. Why do you care about me?"
The two of them walked out of Nangong's house hand in hand.
Not surprisingly, their ostentatious behavior was noticed by the old lady.
"I thought the Gu family would dislike that damn girl, but who knew Gu Jingxing would treat her like a treasure! Humph!"
This made her think twice before making things difficult for Nangong Jin. She could only hold back her anger and not pick a fight with him for the time being.
The car slowly stopped in front of the Gu family's gate, and Nangong Jin followed Gu Jingxing out of the car. Even though she had been here once before, she was still a little nervous when she came to the Gu family again.
"My father is here too, and he's thinking about you!"
When Nangong Jin heard this, he didn't know how to respond, so he simply pursed his lips and said nothing.
Father Gu came over enthusiastically from a distance, "Xiao Jin is getting prettier and prettier. Come on, follow your uncle inside! It's cold outside!"
Having said that, she slapped Gu Jingxing's hand away, took her hand and walked into the house, leaving Gu Jingxing standing there with a gloomy face!
Nangong Jin felt that Father Gu treated her like his own daughter, taking great care of her and making her feel flattered every time.
"Xiao Jin, do you think these dishes are to your liking? If you don't like them, I'll have them redone!"
Nangong Jin stared at the table full of food with her eyes wide open. She felt that even a full banquet would be no better than this.
She quickly waved her hand and said politely, "Uncle, no need, these are good enough, I'm afraid they will be wasted!"
Father Gu pulled out a chair and took her to sit down, and started to pick up food frantically again. Nangong Jin was frightened when she saw this, as she really couldn't eat so much.
She looked at Gu Jingxing, who was sitting next to her, for help. He just curled his lips slightly and considerately helped her get rid of most of the food.
Father Gu frowned and shouted, "Jingxing, stop it right there! I gave this to Xiaojin, you are not allowed to eat it!"
Gu Jingxing ignored him and continued eating. Nangong Jin looked very weak and pitiful in the middle.
"Xiao Jin, have you ever thought about when you will get married to Jing Xing? Uncle, I really want to hold my granddaughter in my arms soon!"
Hearing this, Nangong Jin was startled and choked on the food and started coughing.
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Jingxing considerately handed her a glass of water, and Nangong Jin started drinking it without saying a word.
"What's wrong with Xiaojin? Is it serious? Why don't I ask the doctor to come and take a look at you!"
Nangong Jin quickly shook his head: “No need, uncle, I… cough cough, much better!”
Gu Jingxing didn't say anything, but just took the cup of water from Nangong Jin's hand and started drinking.
Nangong Jin blinked, looked at his empty hands, then looked at the other person's nonchalant expression, and complained about him a thousand times in his heart.
Gu Jingxing caught a glimpse of her puffy look, and approached her and said ambiguously, "Why, do you want me to feed you?"
Seeing his handsome face getting closer and closer, she quickly raised her hand to stop him and said, "No, thank you!"
Gu Jingxing looked regretful after hearing this, "Oh, by the way, the second wife of the He family is going to hold a family dinner tomorrow and specially invites you to attend. Do you want to go?"
Nangong Jin paused while holding the chopsticks. "He family?"
She glanced at Gu Jingxing and said, "So, are you going?"
Gu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, put his hand on the back of her chair and moved closer to her, "Do you want me to go?"
Nangong Jin was at a loss for a moment. Of course she wanted to go to the He family. She really wanted to know what kind of dangerous situation He Zichen was in.
Gu Jingxing just looked at her profile quietly. Nangong Jin's facial features were very delicate, and her long eyelashes fluttered, as if sweeping across his heart, making him feel itchy.
"Then can you come with me?"
Gu Jingxing's eyes were full of smiles, showing that he was very happy to hear this answer.
He gently wiped the corners of Nangong Jin's mouth with his hands, "As long as you ask for it, I'm willing to do it!"
Nangong Jin was somewhat embarrassed by his actions, so he could only keep his head down and eat without answering him directly.
However, Mr. Gu who was watching from the side was extremely excited. He thought that his son had finally gotten the idea!
In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Ever since He Zichen told him that he had no new clothes last time, Nangong Jin made up his mind to buy dozens of suits. However, they were all suits of similar styles but different colors.
Of course she didn’t swipe He Zichen’s card. After all, that was the money that the other party had risked his life for, and she couldn’t bear to use it!
Just as she was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door.
"coming!"
As the door creaked open, the person in front of him was still Gu Jingxing. Sometimes Nangong Jin felt that he was not doing his job properly because he could always see him at any time.
"You came so early..."
"Of course I'm bringing the dress for my fiancée!"
Nangong Jin saw the bag in his hand and said, "Thank you!"
Suddenly, the other person's face looked a little bad. He leaned against the door frame tiredly and asked softly, "Can I lie on your bed for a while?!"
Nangong Jin took the bag from his hand with some doubt and accidentally touched the other person's hand.
"Why are your hands so hot?" She hurriedly touched the other person's forehead.
"You have a fever, come in!"
