Chapter 137: Frozen
Shen Lian stared at Lin Man for two seconds, then suddenly lowered his gaze and softened his tone, "I don't want to talk about this issue now, so why don't you come home with me first?"
However, Lin Man stubbornly wanted an answer, and even watched him evade, even deliberately provoking: "You were so decisive when you told Wu Peizhen, why are you unwilling to say it in front of me? Do you think I am a dispensable toy? There’s no need to say this?”
She spoke one plaything at a time, which made Shen Lian feel more irritable.
"I've already explained it to you, can you please stop immersing yourself in your own ridiculous assumptions?"
Lin Man sneered twice, shook his head and pointed at himself, "You call me ridiculous? But didn't you say those words yourself? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to marry Su Qianxin?"
As she said that, she turned her head, stared at Shen Lian seriously, and said word by word: "Shen Lian, you are really not a man!"
It seems that since Su Qianxin appeared, Shen Lian has always been consistent every time when it comes to marriage. There is no choice other than Su Qianxin.
The more Lin Man thought about it, the sadder she became. She thought that if Shen Lian had not given the same answer once, or had been a little unsure when telling Wu Peizhen, she would not have been so angry.
Lin Man raised her head with sore eyes. She didn't want Shen Lian to see her tears in this situation.
Even if there is a stalemate, she still has to be decent.
"Lin Man, you are an adult too. Can you think carefully about some things? Don't just listen to superficial words and just casually sentence people to death?" Shen Lian's face was solemn, and the anger in his chest was almost aroused. burst out.
Lin Man has this magical power. He is very calm in front of other people, but every time he faces her, he can't control his emotions and almost loses control several times.
It was obviously a lie that could be seen through at a glance, but he didn't understand why Lin Man believed it so firmly.
Lin Man raised the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically: "Don't you just want to say that I am stupid? It doesn't matter, just say it. I do feel that I am quite stupid. I haven't been able to see through your disguise for so long."
She raised her head and paused, then said, "I won't go back home. It's your home, not mine."
She has no home now.
At the end of the story, she couldn't help but wipe the overflowing tears with the back of her hand, and Gu Chengyan handed her the paper in time.
Shen Lian felt that the scene of the two people getting along tacitly was particularly dazzling. He wanted to go around to the main driver's side and take Lin Man back by force, but when Lin Man looked at him, Shen Lian hesitated for a moment and gave up.
According to Linman's temper, if he really did this, it would only add fuel to the fire.
Lin Man didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he took the key from Gu Chengyan's hand, started the car directly, didn't say another word to Shen Lian, and left in silence.
After driving for a distance, her peripheral vision swept across the reflector uncontrollably. She saw Shen Lian still standing there, gradually getting smaller and smaller until she could no longer see him.
She suddenly felt that Shen Lian was like a lonely boat floating on the water, lonely in his life.
"Are you reluctant to leave him, or do you feel sorry for him?" Gu Chengyan noticed her emotional changes and pierced his heart.
Lin Man pursed his lips and sighed, "It's useless to feel sorry for him no matter how reluctant he is. He doesn't have me in his heart, so I won't go over and cause trouble for myself."
Let him go and let yourself go.
In the past few months, she has gone from being very motivated at the beginning to feeling disappointed and lonely now. She is already tired.
After hearing this, Gu Chengyan felt a little happy and a little surprised. It was actually very obvious that Shen Lian liked Lin Man. Why didn't Lin Man notice it at all?
But thinking about how long she stayed by her side without realizing her feelings, she felt relieved.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chengyan said, "So, is the next period of your life equivalent to the recovery period from a broken relationship?"
"We're not even together yet, so how can we be considered lost in love?" Lin Man sneered, turned the steering wheel half a circle, and drove the car into the underground garage.
She unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car, but Gu Chengyan said at the right time, "Come up and have a meal. My mother said she misses you very much, so she prepared a table of your favorite dishes for you."
Lin Man paused and said, "Aunt Liang knows that I'm here?"
Gu Chengyan nodded and said calmly: "Yes. I sent her a message as soon as I left the laboratory, and she started making plans at that time."
Lin Man frowned, feeling a little resistant in her heart. She and Gu Chengyan were in an awkward situation right now.
Gu Chengyan seemed to see through her thoughts and said openly, "Just think that when you were still in the alley, I didn't ask you to eat this meal, but my mother asked you to eat it."
He paused for two seconds before asking Lin Man: "How are you doing? Do you want to give my mother some face?"
"Okay." Gu Chengyan said this, and Lin Man had no reason to refuse.
When they were in the alley, Aunt Liang helped her family a lot. She couldn't treat Aunt Liang coldly just because of her current delicate relationship with Gu Chengyan.
One code equals one code.
Following Gu Chengyan upstairs, Lin Man suddenly remembered, "Oh no, I forgot to buy something."
"What?" Gu Chengyan thought she had something important that she had forgotten to buy, and was going to let her in first and go downstairs to help her buy it.
"I finally came to see Aunt Liang, but I didn't bring anything with me. It's not polite." Lin Man was a little embarrassed.
Gu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. Just treat this as your own home. What do you need to bring back to your home?"
While the two were talking, the door was opened from the inside.
Liang Qingyu wiped her hands on her apron. When she saw Lin Man, her smile widened instantly and she happily pulled her into the house: "I was in the kitchen when I heard a sound outside the door. When I opened it, I saw that it was you guys who were back. Are you hungry? There are fruits and tea eggs on the coffee table, Manman, you can eat whatever you want."
Gu Chengyan directly exposed her shortcomings: "It's okay if she's not polite. She just stood at the door and said she wanted to buy something and bring it in."
When Liang Qingyu heard this, her eyes widened, but she was not angry, "Why are you so cool? What do you think of your Aunt Liang, Manman? Go play on the sofa for a while, the food will be ready soon, and I've got you covered I like the shrimp and egg dumplings, I will eat more later!”
After Lin Man was settled, Liang Qingyu turned around and went into the kitchen. After a while, she called Gu Chengyan in, "Come over and help me."
As soon as Gu Chengyan entered, Liang Qingyu lowered her voice and glared at him dissatisfied: "What's going on? Why does Manman look wrong? Are you bullying me?"
From the first moment she saw Lin Man, she noticed something was wrong. Usually the two of them would be chattering and noisy when they were together, but today they were both unusually silent.
Gu Chengyan lowered his eyebrows and picked vegetables silently for a while before saying, "She was in a bad mood and had a quarrel with someone."
Liang Qingyu paused while chopping vegetables, and the blade of the knife tilted to the side, so that it didn't cut her hand.
She looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't he arguing with you?"
"No, someone else."
"That's good. This kid Manman is suffering, so don't bully him." Liang Qingyu defended.
Gu Chengyan smiled bitterly, how could he be willing to bully her?
After dinner, Liang Qingyu strongly invited Lin Man to stay here, and finally threatened, "If you can't help it, you look down on Aunt Liang, then don't visit Aunt Liang again." Lin Man couldn't resist, so she had to agree.
