Black Lotus - Chapter 20

After leaving the house, Gu Yansheng drove to the company, feeling a little grumpy.

Shen Luoan suddenly sent him a message.

[I’m waiting for you to come back, and I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. ]

After seeing the text, Gu Yansheng’s face suddenly calmed. He shouldn’t be agitated because of Wen Niannan, and Luoan was still waiting for him to go home.

The next day, preparing to go visit the old house, Wen Niannan put on a gray-blue woolen coat. His white skin and his slightly longer hair made him look like a high school student with a well-behaved appearance.

Gu Yansheng was stunned when he saw Wen Niannan walking down the stairs as if the last time he had seen Wen Niannan was a few years ago.

Gu Yansheng only got back to his senses when Wen Nianna walked up to him.

“What’s the matter? Let’s go.” Wen Niannan said quietly.

The car drove for a long time, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely tense.

Wen Niannan sat stiffly next to Gu Yansheng. Now, the two of them would be embarrassed to talk in this mood, and he remained silent for fear that Gu Yansheng would get mad again.

“Why don’t you cut your hair? Now you look like a woman.”

In the car, Gu Yansheng’s low voice suddenly broke the silence.

After a while, he still didn’t hear a reply. He turned his head and gave Wen Niannan a faint glance.

“How dare you ignore me! Is it that you have someone else backing you up?”

Wen Niannan tried his best to keep his voice steady, and said, “I kept it long to cover up my scar.”

Every time he looked in the mirror, he would use his hair to cover the scar on his forehead for fear of being seen by Gu Yansheng. Now that he was asked all of a sudden, he didn’t know how to reply.

Wen Niannan’s cautious posture made Gu Yansheng feel weird, and he said impatiently, “Cheer up! Haven’t I told you that we need to act as if we are in a great relationship? When we arrive at the old house, you’d better behave normally.”

“Oh, I know.”

Gu Yansheng glanced at him coldly, turned around, and closed his eyes to calm down. The car fell into silence again.

Slowly stopping outside the old house, they saw several people standing at the door waiting for them. Gu Yansheng, in black formal wear, got out of the car, turned his head, and glanced at the people waiting at the door. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He then turned and walked to the other side of the car.

Just as Wen Niannan was about to get out of the car, a hand suddenly reached out in front of him. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he looked up where the hand came from in astonishment.

“What… what is this for?”

“There is one of your father’s men at the door.”

Wen Niannan also looked over. It was his father’s secretary, who looked at him and nodded.

Looks like it was just some fake kindness. Wen Niannan’s eyes instantly returned to their previous gloomy color. Thinking about it, how else could Gu Yansheng take the initiative to reach out and help him get out of the car.

A few people at the door saw the two walking by and promptly greeted them.

“Young master, nice to see you back.”

”Where is my mother? ”

”She is waiting upstairs. I will take you there.” Uncle Wang respectfully bowed and led the two inside the house.

Gu Yansheng took off his jacket, handed it to a servant, and walked toward the second floor. He suddenly stopped and glanced at Father Wen’s secretary who was behind Wen Niannan, and said quietly to Wen Niannan, “Why are you so far away from me? Hurry up. Do you want me to carry you upstairs?”

Wen Niannan was first stunned, and when he thought about it he became delighted, saying cheerfully to Gu Yansheng, “Of course, I’ll stay as close to you as I possibly can.”

With just several of Gu Yansheng’s words, he could be happy for a long time. Despite knowing that Gu Yansheng was just pretending, he still couldn’t help taking it seriously. He longed that one day Gu Yansheng could always be this kind to him.
