Chapter 1288: What Are You Thinking About, Hmm?

Lin Hua wanted to pull her hand back, but thought again and gave up, letting him hold her hand. As Chu Ci saw her not resisting, his mood improved slightly, and he lay down as well, hands under his head, looking at her, his voice gentle and soft: “Shall we go out to eat, and then watch a movie when we return?”

She refused: “I need to take care of Xunxun.”

“A few hours won’t hurt.” He reached out and held her wrist, his voice very low and husky: “Or do you not want to go out with me?”

“No.” She smiled reluctantly, “Just a bit tired.”

Chu Ci immediately said: “I’ll drive, you just follow me, the restaurant is already booked.”

Saying this, refusing seemed heartless, and moreover, she didn’t want to upset him now, so she agreed. But she still couldn’t stop worrying about Xiao Xunxun, feeding him and coaxing him until the little guy fell asleep before she settled him down, straightening her body to look directly at Chu Ci: “Alright.”

Chu Ci had already changed into a suit, a classic black and white style, looking very handsome. Even Zhao Mo Ran couldn’t help but glance at him more. Chu Ci held her hand all the way to the parking lot, opened the car door for her.

She got into the car, naturally took off her windbreaker, underneath was a long floral dress, along with her black waist-length hair made her appear very gentle and beautiful. Chu Ci’s hands were originally resting on the steering wheel, but now he couldn’t help but gently brush away the hair on her forehead, carefully looking at her.

Zhao Mo Ran couldn’t handle him like this, gently turned her head aside, “Drive.”

Chu Ci was still sideways, fingers lightly skimming across her cheek, with a low chuckle, then he started driving.

By the time they arrived at the well-known downtown western restaurant, it was already six o’clock, there weren’t many people in the restaurant, and as soon as the manager saw Chu Ci, he immediately came up: “Mr. Chu, your reserved table is over here.”

While speaking, he also nodded to Zhao Mo Ran: “Mrs. Chu, hello.”

Zhao Mo Ran also nodded, and walked with Chu Ci to the table to sit down… At this point, the lights outside were starting to come on, but only a few small lamps were lit inside the restaurant, it was very atmospheric and quiet.

Zhao Mo Ran was somewhat lost in thought, while Chu Ci raised his eyes and softly asked her, “What do you want to eat?”

Zhao Mo Ran had never paid much attention to food, “Just order a set meal.”

He looked at her, smiled: “So easy to please?”

This comment was quite intimate, Zhao Mo Ran didn’t respond, simply picked up her glass and took a sip of water. Chu Ci quickly studied the menu and ordered a meal, handed it to the manager, then picked up a rose from the vase and gently tapped her cheek: “What are you thinking about?”

Evidently, she was distracted.

Chu Ci’s gaze slightly darkened, he knew she was cold towards him, but this indifference still made him somewhat uncomfortable, he wouldn’t allow her to ignore him like this.

Zhao Mo Ran came to her senses and looked at Chu Ci, she smiled lightly: “Nothing.”

Chu Ci didn’t pursue it further, just gave her a deep look, right then Zhao Mo Ran’s phone rang, she took it out and opened it, then froze.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Ci naturally leaned over to look.

As for her, somewhat flustered.

Her gaze towards him was somewhat bewildered, and when Chu Ci saw the message, he interpreted it as guilty, he stared at her for a few seconds and said word by word: “Since he’s here, let’s dine together.”

Zhao Mo Ran shook her head lightly: “No need.”

But just as she finished speaking, another tall silhouette appeared beside her, none other than Gu Fei.

Besides Gu Fei, there was also someone who seemed to be a female assistant.

She was somewhat dazed, unable to say a word for quite a while, on the other hand, Chu Ci slightly curled his lips, standing up graciously: “Please, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Fei’s demeanor was reserved, “Thank you, Mr. Chu.”

This year, he developed well abroad, considered a rising star in the art world, with his works quite popular at auctions in the UK, naturally, his value surged. This time returning to the country is half for business, half for Zhao Mo Ran, he wants to see how she’s been doing, heard… this Mr. Chu is quite absurd, he wants to ask her if she regrets.

For such young people’s dark thoughts, Chu Ci could understand a bit, so he didn’t avoid it…
