Chapter 686 Sorry for not having met you earlier
Gu Yan was happy for a while, then she felt that she had been a little too carried away. “There is nothing certain yet; why am I so happy here?” Gu Yan suddenly realized that in fact, Qi Changfeng had not told her anything.
She said, “Come on, tell me everything you know.”
After Gu Yan reflected on this, she began to question Qi Changfeng again. Qi Changfeng felt exhausted. Gu Yan was a smart woman. It seemed that it was not easy to fool her.
Qi Changfeng said, “I know nothing about that. I’m just making a guess! I’ll tell you everything I know. I think you may even have more information than I do.”
Gu Yan was caught off guard by Qi Changfeng’s remark and she was stunned. If both of them had no evidence and were just guessing that they were a couple, wouldn’t that be funny? Moreover, they were not sure about their feelings. In the event that was not the case, in the end, it was all their imagination. That would be utterly embarrassing!
Gu Yan said, “Is it just the two of us who feel this way from beginning to end?”
Gu Yan stopped eating. That would be so embarrassing if it was true!
“We’re not imagining things. Manman is interested in Jiang Jingcheng. I don’t think Jiang Jingcheng is indifferent to his attention. They could be together. Don’t worry about others and eat your food.”
Qi Changfeng put a lot of food into Gu Yan’s bowl, hoping that this would stop her from asking more questions. If Gu Yan kept probing, Qi Changfeng really didn’t know how to answer. As expected, Qi Changfeng succeeded. He managed to divert Gu Yan’s attention back to the food in front of her.
Gu Yan no longer pressed him. A relationship could not be forced. No matter how much other people tried, only how the involved parties felt about each other mattered. In this case, let nature take its course with Jiang Jingcheng and Gu Manman’s affair. Others could help, but they could not control the course of the relationship, right?
Gu Yan stopped dwelling on this matter. “Everyone has their fate, so why should I intervene with it? I can’t even manage my own relationship.”
Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn’t help feeling a little sad. “What’s happening to me and Mo Yichen now? Now an hour has passed, but I still have not even received a message from him.” Gu Yan felt a little sad and disappointed.
They had been so close previously. But after going through a hard time together, there seemed to be a distance between them now. Well, it was not entirely like that, but lately, their relationship had not been the same as before. It was a feeling which Gu Yan found hard to describe and she believed that Mo Yichen felt the same too.
Qi Changfeng ordered a bottle of red wine, but Gu Yan noticed that he was not in the mood to eat or drink. This person just said that he did not feel like eating. But for now, he just poured a glass of red wine and sipped it slowly.
Gu Yan took the wine in front of Qi Changfeng for herself. It was said that one could relieve his or her sorrows when they were drunk. She had no sorrows now, but merely one sad thought. Could drinking a little alcohol make her feel better?
“Aren’t you the one who said you were hungry? You should eat something then,” Gu Yan said.
Gu Yan poured a glass of wine and took a sip. It was strange how bitter this wine was when it was in her mouth.
Gu Yan gave a wry smile, but Qi Changfeng felt this smile was just a cover-up.
Qi Changfeng could tell that Gu Yan’s expression was not normal. Also, Gu Yan’s melancholia could not escape Qi Changfeng’s eyes at all. What happened to Gu Yan? Was her relationship with Mo Yichen not going well? Did Mo Yichen’s mother still dislike Gu Yan?
There was a little sadness in Gu Yan’s eyes. This little sadness made Qi Changfeng feel that all was not well with her. Gu Yan had always been very strong. “The only one that could make her feel like that must be Mo Xiangyan, apart from Mo Yichen. If you think about it, it would likely be Mo Yichen.”
Qi Changfeng speculated in his heart for a long time and came up with the most probable answer. At this time, Gu Yan had already finished a glass of wine and poured herself another glass. Gu Yan rarely showed her emotions so openly. Qi Changfeng was a little worried, but he didn’t know if he should ask.
Mo Yichen had promised that he would never make Gu Yan sad. But what was the reason for Gu Yan’s sadness now? Qi Changfeng was determined that if Mo Yichen didn’t cherish Gu Yan, he would never let Gu Yan suffer by Mo Yichen’s side. Qi Changfeng felt that Gu Yan was worthy of the most precious affection in the world.
“If Mo Yichen can’t give Gu Yan the happiness she deserves and is the cause of her sadness, then Mo Yichen shouldn’t monopolize Gu Yan and let Gu Yan continue to suffer,” Qi Changfeng thought in this way. “I couldn’t be by her side. But I can stand by Gu Yan now because she is sad.
“At least when Gu Yan is feeling sad, she has someone by her side, right?” Qi Changfeng took the wine in front of Gu Yan, filled his own glass with it, and took a big sip. At least he could still be with Gu Yan when she was sad. He was fortunate enough to be able to do that.
As for Qi Changfeng, he was happy as long as he could be around Gu Yan. But Gu Yan’s current emotions also affected Qi Changfeng, and his heart was heavy, too. “Is Gu Yan really unhappy?”
If Mo Yichen couldn’t make Gu Yan happy, Qi Changfeng believed that even if he and Mo Yichen were like brothers, he would beat Mo Yichen up mercilessly. Mo Yichen got the woman who was so precious to Qi Changfeng, so why was Mo Yichen not cherishing her now?
Qi Changfeng felt regret that he met Gu Yan later than Mo Yichen. If he had met Gu Yan first, then they wouldn’t be sitting here, getting drunk.
He did not feel lucky because of a coincidental encounter; instead, Qi Changfeng felt bitter in his heart. The fates may conspire against people. But if the person who met Gu Yan first was himself, would he still like the previous Gu Yan?
Qi Changfeng had no idea. He didn’t know. He regretted not meeting Gu Yan earlier, but he was afraid that he might not have fallen in love with her if he had indeed met her earlier.
Qi Changfeng knew that it was useless to think so much. The only thing he could do now was to ensure Gu Yan’s safety. If Mo Yichen couldn’t give Gu Yan the happiness she wanted or didn’t know how to cherish her, Qi Changfeng was convinced that he would pursue Gu Yan instead.
