520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

No one knows what will happen in their life in the next second.

Yes, no one knows.

Just like Gu Lingyan, he could never have imagined that when he and Xiang Huanian walked out of the villa and reached the avenue between the two villas, Xiang Huanian bowed to him solemnly and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu!"

Gu Lingyan felt his heart go cold.

It's even cooler than the slightly chilly evening breeze as autumn approaches.

Xiang Huanian, after bowing and showing respect, began her apology:

"I'm sorry! Mr. Gu, I was drunk last night and offended you. I flirted with you without your permission. I'm so sorry!"

Kiss, or kiss, these two words seemed difficult for Xiang Huanian to say, so he took a step back and used general pronouns.

Gu Lingyan, who was flirted with: "..."

He pursed his lips and looked at Xiang Huanian, who was standing in front of him with his hands tightly clasped in front of his waist and abdomen, and kept snapping his fingers while speaking.

She was obviously uneasy.

Her fluttering eyelashes, her bitten lower lip, her expression of shame and regret, even her hair blown by the evening breeze, all spoke of her fear...

Gu Lingyan's index finger and middle finger were rubbing unconsciously.

In fact, when he just took over his own company, his parents' seventh day of death had not even passed.

A young and inexperienced person who was hastily appointed to the position without any preparation, was burdened with the weight of survival for the entire enterprise and faced investors from all sides who were eyeing the company and trying to snatch a piece of the "legacy". One can imagine how suffocating and heavy the pressure was.

During that period, Gu Lingyan smoked a lot, but later on, probably because he felt that there was no hope in such a life numbed by tobacco, he quit smoking and used exercise to vent the frustration in life.

Since quitting smoking, Gu Lingyan has not missed the brief numbness brought by cigarettes and alcohol for a long time.

But now, after a long time, Gu Lingyan felt that he needed a cigarette to calm down some of his slightly fluctuating emotions.

After Xiang Huanian expressed his apologies all at once, he clenched his fists, waiting for Gu Lingyan's "verdict".

Because she came from such a family, and in Xiang Huanian's opinion, there was only one-sided perfunctory attitude and one-sided love between her parents.

Since childhood, Xiang Huanian has always been grabbed by the hair and his textbooks and stationery were snatched away by some illiterate boys because of his cute and chubby appearance. They thought it was an act of stealing the attention of the girls they liked.

But in Xiang Huanian's eyes, he only felt disgust. He was even childish enough to be scolded by the class bully after accidentally taking Xiang Huanian's homework and making him cry...

From that time on, Xiang Huanian deeply planted a seed of disgust for boys in his heart.

As she grew older, Xiang Huanian's facial features became more refined. On the way home from school, or when she passed by some "bad" classes, there were always those blindly confident ordinary boys who would make greasy teasing remarks at her and whistle at her.

Fortunately, Xiang Huanian had a good reputation among women of the same age, and she also had companions to go home with. As for the rest, those who pretended to be friendly but secretly disliked her for no reason, Xiang Huanian only discovered this after she grew up, so she will not mention them for now.

There were occasional harassment from horse fleas, and boys who liked to play pranks would follow her and want to see where she lived... In that era, Xiang Huanian had not been educated and did not know that it was stalking.

In short, Xiang Huanian was troubled by this, but her family did not have the conditions to send her to a girls' school.

Therefore, the disgust accumulated over time, coupled with the recent frequent occurrences, no, it should have existed before, but had never been discovered, or covered up, and now, it has been taken seriously by people of justice and the female compatriots of Jueyouxing, so it has frequently appeared in the online news.

These safety issues frequently exposed on the Internet, all the difficulties, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Snail Girl, and Snow White that seemed strange when she was a child but seem even stranger now... all make Xiang Huanian feel that although she is heterosexual, she will not fall in love with any man on this planet.

I wouldn't believe that she could start a sweet relationship.

Because in Xiang Huanian's eyes, some men, especially her older relatives and elders, were so straightforward in their calculations and domestication of their wives that she wanted to slap them in the face and knock the water out of their brains.

however.

Gu Lingyan is an exception.

He was mature and steady, gentle and virtuous, considerate, and respectful of women... Most importantly, his appearance perfectly met Xiang Huanian's aesthetic standards, or perhaps his XP. Furthermore, he was very self-disciplined and had eight-pack abs...

However, Xiang Huanian has not even taken care of her own affairs now, and she thinks that she is not ready to establish a romantic relationship.

But now, after not seeing Gu Lingyan's response for a long time, Xiang Huanian raised his head and carefully glanced at Gu Lingyan, but he was facing the cold moonlight behind him and the street lights were not very bright, so he could only vaguely see the other person's outline.

Xiang Huanian, who was unsure of the other party's attitude, decided to tell him his true thoughts:

"Last night, I admit that I was bewitched by your beauty, Mr. Gu. That's why I impulsively kissed, ahem, flirted with you," Xiang Huanian interlocked his fingers, switched to a less sweaty one, and continued, "But later, when I regained my composure, I realized that my behavior was extremely inappropriate..."

Gu Lingyan's mind was empty and he was lost in memories, but he was brought back to reality by Xiang Huanian's words.

His scattered attention was refocused on Xiang Huanian, who was trembling with fear and looking forward to something, but still explaining it seriously.

"...Mr. Gu, I'm not ready for a relationship, but you do attract me. However, my actions last night were like a scumbag who eats everything but refuses to admit it... I clearly didn't have that intention of dating you, but I gave you the wrong signal... I want to apologize to you, I'm truly sorry!"

The more Xiang Huanian talked, the more he felt like a hooligan who didn't recognize anyone after picking up his pants.

But it's better than giving someone hope and then cruelly rejecting them...

"So, I've been rejected?"

Gu Lingyan put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyes, and asked Xiang Huanian for confirmation in a self-deprecating tone.

However, just now, when Xiang Huanian lowered his head and explained "attract me" attentively and seriously, Xiang Huanian did not notice that the light in Gu Lingyan's eyes was bright, hot and amazing.
