C32 (1/2)

Seeing that, Gu Jiaru felt gloomy, as her own boss, she was basically just a living parent, why did she have to act like she could carry her, treating her to a meal like that was actually something he had to pay for?

Just as Gu Jiaru was thinking about where to go to have a meal that would be more cost-effective, a sentence from Han Yunshang interrupted her train of thought completely, ”Tell me about your family's situation.”

”Why do you ask?” Gu Jiaru became alert, and almost broke out in cold sweat.

Looking at her overly nervous expression, Han Yunshang secretly tightened his grip on the steering wheel: ”Firstly, I am your boss, understanding the basic family situation of the employees, is a part of my job. Second, I want to marry you, so I want to meet your family. ”

After saying all that, Han Yunshang looked deeply into Gu Jiaru's eyes: ”Is this reason considered sufficient?”

However, she remained silent, lowering her head and twisting her fingers back and forth.

”What is it? Is it inconvenient to say it? ” Han Yunshang's eyes were deep and bottomless, concealing all of his thoughts.

Although Gu Jiaru put on a pitiful look, the thoughts in her mind were spinning very quickly. What did he mean by that? Did he know something? Did she deliberately say these words to test herself? Or was it just a casual question? Or did he want to marry herself? They wanted to merge the two families.

But how is this possible!?

After her train of thought stopped here, Gu Jiaru had already made up her mind on the inside. When she raised her head again, she only said dejectedly: ”My parents are dead, and I have a brother who is not related to me by blood.”

This answer was not unexpected to Han Yunshang. He had long investigated the situation and at the same time, he was expecting this. He even prepared to feel sorrowful and apologetic.

But when Gu Jiaru said these words in a low voice, Han Yunshang suddenly felt that all his preparations were unnecessary. The moment he saw her sad eyes, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle. Even after the needle had been removed, he still felt a dull ache.

”I'm sorry.” His apology was natural, and he did not ask about the surveillance cameras in his mind, even though he had been thinking for a long time.

”It's fine,” Gu Jiaru felt a kind of sad sadness on her body, ”Those who don't know are innocent.”

The ignorant are not guilty.

Her clear voice resonated in Han Yunshang's mind, giving him a ”sin” feeling. He was actually somewhat sorry for his actions.

”Besides, I don't think we need to see my family.” Gu Jiaru could not imagine what it would be like if he were to see Xia Fengnan.

”My brother doesn't care about me …” Gu Jiaru prepared to use this as an excuse.

And at this time, Han Yunshang actually slowly held onto Gu Jiaru's hand: ”Since that's the case, I'll bring you to see my family.”

”Are you kidding?!” Gu Jiaru said as she tried to pull her hand out.

After trying a few times to no avail, she sneered and said, ”You and I are not from the same world, what can I say even if we meet your family? Hanxiuqing is the best daughter-in-law in their eyes, right? ”I've already said that we're all adults, and it's just an accident. There's no need for you to take the blame …”

The word 'responsible' had yet to leave his mouth. Han Yunshang suddenly stepped on the brakes, quickly leaning over and firmly blocking her lips.

The long kiss lasted for about a minute, until Gu Jiaru was almost unable to breathe.

But in the next second, his warm lips landed next to her ear, and he said in a numb voice, ”If you continue to speak nonsense, I'm not just saying that I'll take you on the spot.”

”Then what do you want?” After being tormented like that, Gu Jiaru almost did not dare to look him in the eye.

”I've said it many times, this is the last time. Marry me.” Han Yunshang's expression was extremely serious.

Gu Jiaru remained silent for around three minutes before replying seriously, ”I feel that there are a lot of things that I have not finished dealing with. The time that I have known you for is also too short and I don't feel safe yet. So, I need some time to think about it. ”

”How long?” Han Yunshang asked.

Gu Jiaru did not answer.

”You don't have to procrastinate in this way. Whatever you're worried about, I'll take care of it quickly. I can give you a sense of security. But as for the issue of knowing each other for too short a period of time, I am unable to control myself and am unable to make it longer. If possible, I would rather know you earlier. ”

”I'm tired, I want to rest.” Only she herself knew how conflicted Gu Jiaru was in his heart. She felt that she was no longer suitable to be together with Han Yunshang, and every word he said would cause Gu Jiaru's heart to involuntarily tremble.

Gu Jiaru added: ”I don't want to eat dinner. You can go back to your own home. Since Meixi asked about you today, you can't stay so late. ”

”Yes.” Han Yunshang's mood was obviously low.

This made Gu Jiaru a little nervous, but she didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.

One hour later.

Gu Jiaru carried the potato chips and looked at the various scenes that appeared on the television. She had turned her voice to a minimum so that she could think about it.

They had obviously approached Han Yunshang at the beginning with a clear goal in mind. If Han Yunshang wanted to marry his, he should also happily agree to it.

But why was she hesitating now …

Gu Jiaru felt that Han Yunshang was like a poison. She wanted to try and yet was unable to.

In any case, marrying him seemed like her choice. However, her heart was afraid of getting close to it.

A few weeks ago, she had made a series of plans, even considering that it would take her six months to get involved in his life.
