wife and father

Gu Xinglan asked Gu An to move to the Gu family's old house. Gu An was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelids slightly, and shook his head.

Gu Xinglan inevitably showed disappointment on her face.

Under the soft orange light, Gu An smiled at her: "Xinglan, it's not that I don't want to, it's just—"

Gu Xinglan's eyes instantly lit up with hope: "Just what?"

Gu An pursed his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.Gu Xinglan could only wait, not daring to rush.

After a while, Gu An said: "Xinglan, I'm afraid. There are so many people in the Gu residence, so many pairs of eyes. I'm like a light on my back. What's more, Shu Yu and I..."

After a pause, with a wry smile, he continued: "Now my reputation is not good, there are so many strange rumors, true and false, and now even I wonder if those things really happened, so that those people speak clearly and logically. .I don't want you to fall in with me."

Gu Xinglan hurriedly reached out to grab Gu An's hand.She feels guilty.Not only because of her harsh treatment of Gu An over the years, but also because even so, this man is still willing to think about her.

However, she never dared to tell him the truth.

She dared not tell him that all the negative news about him was a method she used to divert people's attention, and it was all arranged by her.

Gu Xinglan looked at Gu An, her eyes full of anticipation: "Then I'll go to your place—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu An shook his head lightly.There was pity in the amber eyes: "Xinglan, the conditions in my place are too bad, I don't want to wrong you."

Gu Xinglan didn't know what to do for a while, she desperately wanted to hug the man in front of her who had been her honorary husband for more than [-] years, but he rejected all her ideas.

Gu An lowered his eyelids slightly, and when he looked at Gu Xinglan again, the look in his eyes was soliciting: "How about buying another house. It only belongs to our house."

When Gu Xinglan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly.

Gu An hesitated again: "The money in my hand is enough for the down payment."

Gu Xinglan was stunned: "A down payment? Why don't you pay the full amount directly..."

Gu An's body froze, and the look in his eyes changed: "Xinglan, I don't want to hear people say that I'm a jerk and married you only for money."

Gu Xinglan was moved.This seemingly weak man gave her such a warm feeling at this moment.

She nodded, tears of joy in the corners of her eyes.

Gu An smiled at her, and calmly withdrew the hand she had held for a long time.

Coming out of the restaurant, Gu Xinglan leaned against Gu An with a childlike smile on her face.

Under the streetlight, Gu Xinglan slightly raised her head to look at her still pretty face after more than twenty years: "Ruo, let's get the marriage certificate."

Gu An stopped, looked at Gu Xinglan's face, slightly startled.

Gu Xinglan shook his arm lightly: "I owe you this certificate for 22 years. Let me pay it back, okay?"

Gu An smiled, his slightly bent eyes covered the cold look in those amber pupils: "Okay."

Gu Xinglan smiled, and tiptoed to kiss Gu An.

Gu An subconsciously hid, but stopped abruptly.Gu Xinglan didn't kiss Gu An's lips, but left a light lip mark on that fair face.
