Gu Zhihan also looked utterly confused.
However, he quickly sensed something was off from their gazes.
If he wasn’t mistaken...
They were suspecting an issue with him in "that" department!
Gu Zhihan’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he abruptly stood up from the dining chair, pulling Luo Mengmeng up and taking her outside with him.
"What’s going on?" Luo Mengmeng, who was in the middle of eating, was suddenly pulled up, immediately startling her. She looked at him with a puzzled face, "Don’t go, I haven’t even finished my meal yet!"
"I’ll take you out to eat!" Gu Zhihan still had a dark face and gritted his teeth as he spoke, pausing between each word.
"Why though, isn’t there so much food here?" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t understand his thought process at all.
At home there was good food, but he insisted on going out to eat?
"I don’t want to eat with them!"
Gu Zhihan, suppressing the irritation in his heart, pulled her out of the house.
"Godfather and godmother didn’t offend you, did they?" Luo Mengmeng followed him, completely clueless why he suddenly got angry.
Gu Zhihan gritted his teeth, "They did."
"How did they offend you?" Luo Mengmeng had a clueless face.
"Figure it out yourself!"
"But I can’t figure it out!"
"... Then never mind."
At this point, the conversation nearly dwindled to nothing to chat about.
Luo Mengmeng shook her head speechlessly.
"What do you want to eat later?" Once they were outside, Gu Zhihan stopped walking, looking down at the little girl who was nearly half a head shorter than him.
"I want sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour ribs, pumpkin porridge, pumpkin cakes, rose tea..."
Luo Mengmeng rapidly listed a series of dish names.
Gu Zhihan’s lips twitched uncontrollably, "Didn’t you already eat two bowls at home?"
"Not two bowls, to be exact just one and a half!" Luo Mengmeng corrected him earnestly.
That was still a lot, okay!
"Never mind, I’ll continue to take you out to eat." Gu Zhihan picked up the girl’s hand again, taking her towards a nearby restaurant.
After coming out of the restaurant, Luo Mengmeng was quite full.
"Gu Zhihan, I ate too much, I can barely walk..." Luo Mengmeng licked her lips while giving him a suggestive look.
The implication couldn’t be more clear...
She wanted him to carry her.
Gu Zhihan clearly understood her intention, but he pretended not to get it, naughtily saying, "If you can’t walk, then just stand here and don’t move."
Having said that, he turned around, preparing to walk away alone.
"Hey! Gu Zhihan!" Luo Mengmeng immediately stamped her foot in anger, her lips pouting higher than a soy sauce bottle.
How could her fiancé be !
Just as Mengmeng was sulking, Gu Zhihan, unbeknownst to her, had already come back. He directly scooped her into his arms, his eyes, bright as the stars, gazing tenderly at her, "How could I possibly leave you behind."
He had just been playing with her on a whim.
How could he truly leave her behind.
Luo Mengmeng pouted, bumping her little head against his chest. Though her tone carried a whiff of discontent, her face was clearly smiling.
Under the morning sun, the man in a white shirt and black pants stood tall and straight like a pine tree moving forward, while the girl in his arms clung to him like a delicate vine.
The brilliant sunshine fell on their hair, laced with intertwining threads of intimacy.
The National Day holiday passed in the blink of an eye.
