C165 The Bet of the past
The maturity and aura on Gu Tianqi's face did not match his age. He turned around and returned to his room.
Gu Tianjun came down from the second floor as soon as the dumplings were ready.
Ann Ran specially placed all kinds of dumplings with various ingredients on a small plate. She did not let the servants in the villa carry the dumplings. She only personally carried them in front of Gu Tianjun one by one.
Not only that, when Ann Ran placed the plate, she even deliberately raised her finger that did not have a wedding ring on it.
However, no matter what Ann Ran did, Gu Tianjun still did not see Ann Ran lose her wedding ring. He just lowered his head and started to eat without saying a word.
Ann Ran sat opposite Gu Tianjun in disappointment. She looked at Gu Tianjun who was eating slowly, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Tianjun, did he really not care that he had reached this stage? This wedding ring was personally worn by him on the day of the wedding. How could he not see it?
Ann Ran could not hold it in anymore. She gently stroked her ring finger and her voice had a trace of choking. "Tianjun, you really did not notice. Is there anything different about me today?"
Gu Tianjun put down the chopsticks in his hand when he heard Ann Ran ask this question. He looked Ann Ran up and down and said hesitantly, Today you. . .
Ann Ran's eyes lit up when she heard Gu Tianjun's words. She looked at Gu Tianjun expectantly and asked, "What about me?"
As long as he found out that she was not wearing a wedding ring, not only would it be as simple as winning the bet, it would also help her regain her confidence in her marriage with Gu Tianjun.
However, Gu Tianjun paused for a moment and said lightly, "Today, you have more words than usual. . . "
More words?!
Ann Ran opened her mouth and before she could remove her joyful expression, she froze there. A sour pain suddenly surged out of her chest and Ann Ran felt that her heart was about to shatter into powder. She looked at Gu Tianjun blankly and did not know how to speak for a moment.
Although Gu Tianjun saw Ann Ran's disappointed and sad expression, he really did not know what happened. So he pretended not to see anything and continued to eat his dinner slowly.
In fact, Gu Tianjun understood very well that if there was no hope, there was no disappointment. He did not have the energy and did not want to create a beautiful dream for Ann Ran.
Anyway, the outcome was sad. Compared to letting Ann Ran fall from heaven to hell, it was better to let her slowly accept the truth.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianjun's attitude towards Ann Ran became even colder. After he finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I finished eating. "
Gu Tianjun did not wait for Ann Ran to reply and stood up. He went back to his study and continued to work.
Ann Ran, on the other hand, sat stiffly in her seat for a long time before standing up and returning to her bedroom in a daze. Gu Tianjun's performance just now kept repeating in her mind, making her feel like she was in a dream.
Ann Ran mechanically picked up the shirt that Gu Tianjun had casually put on the chair. She wanted to pack it up and wash it. However, the moment Ann Ran picked up the shirt, a faint perfume smell entered Ann Ran's nose.
Ann Ran, who was initially at a loss, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.
She was in so much pain that she did not even have the strength to hold the shirt. Ann Ran shook her head with all her strength. She did not want to lie to herself anymore. After getting married, Gu Tianjun's various behavior hinted to her that Gu Tianjun seemed to have a woman outside!
Tears of grievance instantly fell from her cheeks. Ann Ran held the shirt and ran to Gu Tianjun's study.
Ann Ran did not carefully knock on the door as usual and directly pushed the door open and barged in.
Gu Tianjun, who was reading the documents, suddenly looked up and saw Ann Ran looking at him with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Gu Tianjun closed the document and asked without any warmth in his voice.
Ann Ran tightly gripped Gu Tianjun's shirt, and even the joints of her fingers began to turn white.
However, when Ann Ran raised her head to look at Gu Tianjun, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She was afraid that when she questioned him, Gu Tianjun would tell her the truth without hesitation.
At that time, she wouldn't even have the chance to lie to her!
"What exactly happened?" Gu Tianjun started to get impatient.
"I. . . " Ann Ran bit her lips and finally said to Gu Tianjun, "Tianjun, I lost our wedding ring. I'm sorry. "
Gu Tianjun did not show any expression when he heard that. He just lowered his head and opened the document in front of him. He said lightly, "If you lost it, so be it. Anyway, I also put away my wedding ring. I don't wear it often. "
Ann Ran did not expect Gu Tianjun to act like this. She stared at Gu Tianjun and asked, "Tianjun, that's our wedding ring. Aren't you angry?"
"It's just a small matter. " Gu Tianjun shook his head. "Don't mind it too much. "
Ann Ran still did not give up. Tian Jun, when are you free, let's buy another pair of rings together!
"Let's talk about it later. " Gu Tianjun flipped through the documents in front of him as he casually replied.
Ann Ran looked worried, but she did not know what to say. She really wanted to leave Gu Tianjun's office as soon as possible. Every casual action of Gu Tianjun seemed to be in her heart, as if he was cutting her with a knife.
Gu Tianjun also felt Ann Ran's strange gaze. He raised his head and looked at Ann Ran. "Is there anything else?"
"No, no more. " Ann Ran shook her head and dragged her heavy footsteps out of Gu Tianjun's office.
Ann Ran went to the living room absentmindedly and walked out numbly. The room was too stuffy and she needed to take a breather.
The moonlight at night was very good. It was like a layer of gauze that floated in every corner of the villa. The moon was round in the sky and the flowers in the flowerbed in front of her emitted a fragrance.
Didn't she agree with the words "the moon and the flowers are perfect"?
However, whether the flowers were good or the moon is round, it seemed like it had nothing to do with Ann Ran. She and Gu Tianjun got married. For half a year,
Other than getting colder and colder towards her, Gu Tianjun had not changed much. The most intimate contact between the two of them was the kiss on the forehead on the day of their marriage proposal.
What had she done wrong? Had she been reduced to such a pathetic state?!
As she thought about it, Ann Ran could not hold it in anymore. She covered her mouth and tried her best not to make her choke too loudly. However, her tears kept falling down like broken beads.
"Ann Ran, what are you doing?" A pleasant voice sounded behind her. Ann Ran turned around and saw Gu Tianqi standing behind her.
Ann Ran hurriedly wiped the tear stains on her face and said with a heavy nasal voice, "Nothing much. "
Gu Tianqi did not expose Ann Ran's lie. He just shrugged and said, "Gu Tianjun found out that you lost your ring?"
Hearing this, Ann Ran, who was trying hard to hold back her tears, froze again. She turned around with her back to Gu Tianqi, not letting him see the tears falling down. "No. "
"Oh. " Gu Tianqi nodded as if he was not surprised by the result. "Then, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
"Alright. " Ann Ran nodded her head. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
