Fatten up before eating? Why did it sound like she was being kept? Wan Qianqian raised her eyes slightly to look at the man in front of her. Her bright eyes fluttered continuously, and her face was filled with innocence and confusion.
The next second, Gu Tanfeng reached out his warm and thick palm and gently stroked her soft head a few times. She saw a confused expression on her face in his deep and dark eyes.
The feeling of being crushed kept popping up in her mind. Wan Qianqian glared at him in exasperation before burying her head in her breakfast. A little color gradually returned to her pale cheeks.
"Oh right, Tan Feng." Suddenly remembering the confusion that had been buried in her heart all this time, Wan Qianqian raised her head, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Hmm? What is it? "Gu Tanfeng placed his hands under his chin and looked at Wan Qianqian with an especially infatuated expression.
Wan Qianqian, who had just raised her head and met his gaze, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. The burning sensation on her cheeks became more obvious, and for a moment, the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
After a while, Wan Qianqian quickly returned to her senses. She hurriedly lowered her head and asked gloomily, "Is the Gu family on good terms with the Ling family?"
"Pretty good." After she spoke, Gu Tanfeng hesitated for a second before replying, giving an answer.
Two or three seconds later, he said softly, "The Gu family and the Ling family have been friends for generations. My dad is also on good terms with the old master. Naturally, I've known Ling Yuxuan since childhood, so we're on good terms. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking these questions? "
Gu Tanfeng's rhetorical question stunned Wan Qianqian for a moment. Xu Changjun's face quickly formed in her mind. Just as she was about to open her mouth to answer, her heart skipped a beat. It was better not to ruin the atmosphere in the morning.
"No, I'm just curious." Wan Qianqian pretended to be relaxed as she shook her head and continued to eat the bowl of porridge in front of her. She was still thinking about something.
It wasn't until Gu Tanfeng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her that she slowly came back to her senses. The corner of her mouth pursed into a faint smile of loneliness, and her face was full of confusion. Then, Gu Tanfeng suddenly laughed out loud.
His laughter was exceptionally hearty, like the warmth that bloomed in the winter. The two exquisite dimples on his face exuded a fatal temptation.
Then, while Wan Qianqian was still in a daze, he leaned over and planted a light kiss on the corner of her mouth. He even mischievously licked it with the tip of his tongue, and a numb feeling seeped into her bones.
"Have you been having nightmares these past few days?" After pulling away from her face, he suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Wan Qianqian, who was caught off guard by this question, was particularly surprised. She almost choked on the porridge that she was about to swallow. Then, she violently coughed a few times and constantly beat her chest.
Gu Tanfeng, who was beside her, hurriedly reached out and stroked her back to help her breathe. He immediately handed her a cup of warm water and said helplessly, "Slow down, don't rush."
After a while, Wan Qianqian, who had finally recovered, took the water from his hand. After taking a big gulp, her throat felt much smoother. Then, she replied to Gu Tanfeng, "Well, maybe I haven't been in a good mood recently."
Ever since Wan Qianqing came to the hospital and wanted to kill her, the nightmares began. This was a suitable excuse that Wan Qianqian found for herself after much difficulty. She took it as a backlash after her mind was attacked.
"Do you want to take a look?" Gu Tanfeng's face was full of worry. Clearly, he could clearly see the fear in her eyes.
"No need. I'll be fine in a few days." Wan Qianqian shook her head slightly and said. She tried hard to make an indifferent expression on her face.
Just as Gu Tanfeng was about to open his mouth to persuade him again, a series of knocks came from the door, followed by a rather amiable voice that was full of vicissitudes. "Young Master, Young Master Ling is here. He says he has something to discuss with you."
Hearing this name, a faint wrinkle appeared on Wan Qianqian's smooth and beautiful forehead. She unconsciously put down the spoon in her hand. That pair of brown eyes that could evoke the fear in her heart made her feel especially uneasy every time she thought about it.
Gu Tanfeng, who keenly captured her emotions, gently held her hands but did not say a word. He only gave her an exceptionally calm gaze.
It was under such a nonchalant but exceptionally safe gaze that her restless heart gradually calmed down. When she came back to her senses, Gu Tanfeng's figure had already walked towards the door.
"Did you just wake up?" Ling Yuxuan's brown eyes lingered on Gu Tanfeng's neck, as if he wanted to see something.
The teasing expression on his face was completely revealed. His figure gently leaned against the table and he even reached out to touch his chin. His entire body exuded the aura of a ruffian.
However, Gu Tanfeng only responded with an ice-cold gaze, and his movement speed was exceptionally fast. He directly walked past Ling Yuxuan and sat down on the office chair, "What are you here for?"
Just as he finished speaking, he immediately received a shocking white eye from Ling Yuxuan. He turned around domineeringly and placed his hands on the chair. His brown eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he stared at Gu Tanfeng, as if he wanted to use his aura to suppress him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds … The emptiness in the air was still lingering in the air. The man sitting on the office chair was still holding his pen and working as steadily as Mount Tai.
As time went by, the silent atmosphere became more and more oppressive. But only Ling Yuxuan felt this oppressive feeling. Just when the atmosphere seemed to be sinking, Ling Yuxuan reacted first.
"Tan Feng, do you want to go to Mexico with me?" Ling Yuxuan's eyes constantly blinked. There was infinite light of expectation in the depths of his pupils as he stared at the iceberg in front of him.
Gu Tanfeng looked up from the pile of documents. His calm face had a somewhat confused expression. Then he put down the pen in his hand and suddenly leaned back. He crossed his arms and looked at the person in front of him. Even if he didn't say a word, the question was already expressed.
Seeing that the iceberg in front of him was finally willing to listen to him, Ling Yuxuan quickly pulled the chair beside him over and sat down. He then pushed the document on the table to Gu Tanfeng.
The document was written in Mexican. Gu Tanfeng, who was proficient in the basic languages of every country, understood the meaning at a glance. His gaze fell on the few letters and paused for a moment. The next second, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Ling Yuxuan and opened his thin lips. "What does this mean?"
"My dad said that Bick is a rather cunning person. He wants me to find someone smarter and cunning than him to discuss this business. After the business is done, we will split it 50-50, "Ling Yuxuan said with a slight shrug.
While belittling Bick, he also trampled on Gu Tanfeng. Fortunately, Gu Tanfeng didn't care too much about it. He just frowned.
"What do you want?" Caught off guard, Gu Tanfeng's cold voice came out of his mouth. His probing gaze wandered up and down Ling Yuxuan's body unscrupulously.
Caught off guard, Ling Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat. However, he recovered quickly and widened his eyes innocently with sincerity.
However, he still didn't manage to gain Gu Tanfeng's complete trust. Instead, the suspicion in Gu Tanfeng's eyes grew stronger.
Feeling extremely helpless, Ling Yuxuan lowered his head and said with a pout, "Alright, I'll be honest. My dad doesn't know about this. Recently, my uncle and the rest have been acting very conspicuously. I have to show some results to prove my identity as the young master of the Ling family."
Gu Tanfeng's words were particularly sincere, and there was a mixture of hatred and helplessness flashing in the depths of his eyes. Gradually, Gu Tanfeng withdrew his probing gaze.
However, he didn't immediately agree to Ling Yuxuan. Instead, he pushed the document in front of him back to him. His face was still as calm as the surface of a lake without any ripples.
Looking at the document in front of him, Ling Yuxuan's face was filled with doubt. At first, he was a little confused. Then, there was a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows. He had already secretly raised the alarm in his heart. He faced Gu Tanfeng's cunning and black-bellied expression with a particularly serious expression.
As if he didn't see Ling Yuxuan's twelfth-level alert expression, Gu Tanfeng leaned on the chair and looked at Ling Yuxuan even more lazily. He pursed his lips into a warm smile, but his words were cold like winter. "I can help, but I'll take 60%, and you take 40%."
"You!" As soon as he heard it, Ling Yuxuan felt suffocated in his throat. Even his breathing became a little disordered. "Tan Feng, you're not being kind. 50%, I've already done my best to you!"
Ling Yuxuan tried to reason with Gu Tanfeng. In his mind, he automatically filtered out the black-bellied, cunning, and unreasonable image of a certain person in the past.
Sure enough, in the next second, the smile on Gu Tanfeng's lips widened. He also used the so-called reason to refute Ling Yuxuan, "I didn't ask for all of you. I've already done justice to our many years of friendship."
Once again, Ling Yuxuan's words directly blocked Ling Yuxuan. Ling Yuxuan planned to say a few more words to attack Gu Tanfeng, but at this moment, he could only swallow it all back into his stomach.
Ling Yuxuan's handsome face changed obviously because of Gu Tanfeng's anger. After swallowing his anger, Ling Yuxuan's face bloomed with the same bright smile as before, but his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "Okay, I promise you, but can you tell me, you don't lack this money, why …"
"To keep a wife." Before Ling Yuxuan could say all the words, Gu Tanfeng had already answered. After a pause, he added, "Someone like you who doesn't have a wife won't understand."
