Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 27 The Betrothed Childhood Sweetheart
Dinner was chosen at a famous scenic mountain in City A, where there's a restaurant halfway up the mountain. In the evening, you can watch the sunset from the restaurant, with crimson clouds painting the sky.
When night falls, you can look up and see a sky full of stars and witness the magnificent beauty of the Milky Way.
Of course, the restaurant was also booked by the incredibly wealthy Gu Xiyan, because this was a moment exclusively for him and Shen Chumo, and he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
The car was parked in a parking lot halfway up the mountain, and it was about a hundred meters' walk to the restaurant.
Shen Chumo followed Gu Xiyan to her reserved seat, gently lifted her skirt, and sat down gracefully.
At the same time, a waiter greeted Gu Xiyan with a smile and enthusiasm, holding a menu in his hand and respectfully handing it to him.
Gu Xiyan politely accepted the menu, turned his head slightly, and asked softly, "Chu Mo, is there any dish you particularly like?" His voice was as warm as a spring breeze.
At this moment, the sunset outside the window was like a magnificent and colorful painting. The afterglow gradually dyed the entire sky red, as if draping the world in a golden veil. Shen Chumo's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it. She stared into the distance, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, revealing a faint smile.
Gu Xiyan's gaze remained fixed on Shen Chumo's profile; her beauty was like a work of art, captivating and irresistible.
Those soft lines, those bright eyes, and that slightly upturned corner of her mouth—all became the most beautiful scenery in his eyes at that moment. Time seemed to stand still; only the two of them were real.
During dinner, the two chatted and laughed, their conversation ranging from past events to their hopes for the future.
As night fell and the sky was filled with twinkling stars, Gu Xiyan led Shen Chumo to the terrace, where the two of them gazed up at the vast starry sky.
Everything Gu Xiyan did today suited Shen Chumo's tastes perfectly. She hated noise and enjoyed the quiet moments. Shen Chumo turned to Gu Xiyan and said, "Brother Xiyan, thank you for everything you arranged today. I really like it."
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but want to reach out and brush a strand of hair from Shen Chumo's lips, but in the end he put his hand down. He told himself that there was plenty of time, and Chumo was still in her senior year of high school, so he couldn't be impatient.
It was already offensive to do it in a movie theater; he will wait until she grows up.
The beeping sound of a text message alert came from Gu Xiyan's phone. Gu Xiyan opened his phone and found a barrage of reprimands from Jiang Shao for his recent power struggles.
When he saw the last sentence, "From now on, I will only have Gu Beicheng as my son. You are no longer my son," a mocking expression appeared on Gu Xiyan's face.
Ha! When did Jiang Shao start treating her like his son? She's said that countless times already!
Shen Chumo noticed Gu Xiyan's unusual expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you run into trouble at work?"
Gu Xiyan silently turned off her phone screen, gently shook her head, and said with a hint of helplessness, "It's nothing, just a wrong text message from a madman."
Even though Gu Xiyan said that, the desolate look in his eyes could not be hidden from Shen Chumo.
Shen Chumo reached out and gently stroked Gu Xiyan's head, as if she were petting a docile dog. She said softly, "Brother Xiyan, let's forget about those troublesome things."
Everyone encounters misfortune and setbacks, so whether you're happy or unhappy, it's still a day. So, Xiyan, you must spend every day happily!
Gu Xiyan gazed quietly at Shen Chumo, a warm current welling up in his heart.
He lowered his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and thought to himself, "Mo Mo, why are you so wonderful? So wonderful that I can't bear to part with you."
Gu Xiyan lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, then looked up at the night sky. "Mo Mo, actually I've always wanted to tell you a secret about myself. I don't know if you'd like to hear it."
This secret had been buried in Gu Xiyan's heart for nearly twenty years. He had never revealed it to anyone. Only when he was with Shen Chumo could he open his heart without reservation.
Rewind to when Gu Xiyan was eight years old. At that time, Jiang Shao was facing irreconcilable family and work pressures, and she unfortunately suffered from bipolar disorder.
This illness made her unusually sensitive, and she would often fly into a rage over trivial matters.
During that period, the atmosphere at home was very oppressive and heavy, and little Gu Xiyan lived in misery. Whenever he failed to get a perfect score at school, he would be reprimanded and criticized mercilessly by Jiang Shao.
If a maid accidentally spills a teacup, she might be fired. Later, her illness worsened, and she would even throw a tantrum for no reason if the cushions in the house weren't placed the way she wanted or if someone walked too loudly.
Gu Xiyan didn't know his mother was sick; he just felt that she had changed. The gentle mother he used to know was gone, and the mother he knew now was terrifying.
Instead of comforting his wife and helping her with her medical treatment, Gu Ming, as her husband, chose to avoid her. He came home later and later, even smoking in his car for two hours instead of going home.
In the end, Gu Ming cheated on his wife with his married female subordinate. The two used their child as a cover for their trysts.
Gu Ming brought Gu Xiyan along, and his female subordinate brought her daughter. Using the child as an excuse, the two tried to deflect the gossip, but a woman's intuition is strong, and Jiang Shao still sensed something was amiss.
That day, Jiang Shao followed Gu Ming and witnessed Gu Ming taking Gu Xiyan and his female subordinate and her daughter to the park. The female subordinate acted very gently in front of Gu Xiyan, just like her former mother.
Therefore, Gu Xiyan also particularly liked this aunt. Jiang Shao coldly hid to the side, watching her husband and son's smiling faces, as if she and that woman were the truly happy family.
Finally, she heard Gu Ming ask Gu Xiyan, "Xiyan, do you like Auntie?"
Gu Xiyan raised his childish face and said, "I like it because Auntie is like my mother." Actually, he meant that Auntie was very much like his mother before she got sick, and he hoped that his mother could return to her former self soon.
But in Jiang Shao's ears, this was undoubtedly a double betrayal by her husband and son.
Jiang Shao returned home in a daze, her mental state becoming increasingly unstable. She locked herself in her room, filled the bathtub with water, and let herself drown; she wanted to commit suicide.
It was at this moment that three-year-old Gu Beicheng suddenly started crying and calling for his mother. The maid, carrying Gu Beicheng, knocked on Jiang Shao's door.
Hearing Gu Beicheng's wailing, Jiang Shao climbed out of the bathtub and hugged him tightly, as if she had grasped hope. From that moment on, Jiang Shao vowed in her heart that she would only live for Gu Beicheng.
