Chapter 382
382 It was beyond expectations
When Gu Zi was drunk, Yu Wen got someone to help him back to his room.
looking at gu zi who was being supported by someone, the person standing not far away walked over. it was one of yu wen’s trusted aides.
“master wen, i can see that seventh master gu really sees you as a good friend. if you want to hide it from him, then just hide it from him. why did you have to tell him the truth when he asked? You can just find a random reason to brush it off.”
“since he’s asked, how can we just give him an excuse?”
“besides, a good friend?” yu wen’s lips curved into a smile.
he does treat me as a close friend. At least, after knowing me for so many years, he has never done anything to let me down. He has even helped me a lot.
“But how can seventh master Gu be a good-tempered person? if he were to find out that i’m not xie liu’s biological grandson and that i’m just an heir that he raised as a tool, i’m afraid that he won’t let me continue to stay by xie liu’s side no matter what. Xie Liu isn’t easy to deal with, so there’s no need to go against him.”
seventh master Gu was right about one thing. I see su chen as my own brother. Putting aside the fact that I want him to come back and clean up the mess that Xie Liu left behind, I have never thought of taking his life.
seventh master Gu is different. If he knew about su Chen’s existence, he probably wouldn’t have let me find su chen, whether it was because he was worried that su chen would threaten my position or because I treated him like a brother.
many people have died at the hands of the seventh master Gu. Su chen is not the only one.
the subordinate was silent.
he sometimes felt that grandpa wen was a very complicated person.
To say that he was a good person, he was indeed cruel and merciless. To say that he was not a good person, he did not hesitate to become enemies with Xie Heng and the Xie family to repay the kindness of Xie Liu’s upbringing. He also hid the whole thing from seventh master Gu in case he wanted to harm miracle doctor su.
after a while, the subordinate continued. ” but master wen, since you didn’t want to take miracle doctor su’s life, you even let him come back to take over the old master’s dying wish. aren’t you afraid that he will be targeted by the enemies of the original force or offend the xie family? he will be in danger. ”
“that’s not something i can control,” yu wen shrugged.
“For my brother to be able to roam the outside world alone for so many years, have such a great reputation, and still be safe and sound, he must have his own extraordinary points. If he’s willing to accept all of this, he must have his own plans.”
“if he’s unlucky and dies, it’s my brother’s own fate.”
Seeing the smile on Yu Wen’s face, the subordinate felt a little scared.
She shivered and didn’t dare to speak again.

After Shi Yan and Jiang che had their meal, they went shopping.
after finding a place to park the car, the two of them walked into the mall holding hands.
Shi Yan retracted her gaze from the shopping mall and smiled at the person beside her. “why did you bring me to the mall?”
she had thought that he had brought her to the shopping mall because there was something different about the shopping malls in qingcheng compared to other places. at first glance, it was no different from the shopping malls in other places, and it was very lively with people coming and going.
“i was just passing by, so i wanted to bring you over to take a look.”
at this time, jiang che had already changed into a black sweater and was dressed very casually. he even put on the hat of the sweater, covering half of his overly outstanding face. the two of them finally didn’t stand out as much as they did in the mall.
however, shi yan’s face still attracted a lot of attention.
Hence, there would still be people looking at them from time to time.
“that one over there, have you played it before?” Jiang che pointed at the game console not far away and asked.
It was the kind of old game console placed in the mall that could be played with coins.
Shi Yan followed his finger and looked at the game console. At this time, there were a few teenagers of 12 or 13 years old playing it. It was obviously for children.
she blinked her eyes and looked at him with a strange expression.
“Mr. Jiang, you’re not going to take me to play that, right?”
not to mention her, that kind of game console that was meant for children, and obviously for fun, was not in line with his temperament at all.
putting him next to that old game console would only make one think of one word: He was out of place.
pinching her fingertips, jiang che lowered his eyes and chuckled, ” I do have such plans. Have you played it before? ”
Shi Yan shook her head.
Not only did she look at him with a strange expression, but she also felt that it was very strange.
could it be that he wanted to let her experience childlike innocence?
“do you want to go play?”
He did not want to.
but shi yan still nodded.
“there’s no harm in experiencing it.” she said.
he wasn’t lying. since he wanted to take her out to play, she did feel that there was no harm in experiencing it.
Jiang che held her hand and walked over. However, before they went to play games, Jiang che bought a hat for her at a shop.
the baseball cap was pressed down a little and covered half of her face.
The number of gazes on them instantly decreased by more than half.
jiang che was very satisfied.
he went to exchange some coins, held shi yan’s shoulder to make her sit down, and inserted some coins into her. “do you know how to play?”
Shi Yan actually didn’t know how to do it, but when Jiang che was exchanging coins just now, she had stood at the side and watched how others played, so she had almost learned it.
She turned around to look at the person who was standing behind her and leaning slightly closer to her. What she saw was his clear and elegant face. He had a faint smile on his face, which made his peach blossom eyes look a little dazed.
It dazzled Shi Yan’s eyes.
“i won’t,” she said without thinking.
jiang che met her gaze and smiled. his deep and clear voice entered her ears, ” “I’ll teach you.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward and held her hands with both hands.
as he leaned over, shi yan felt that her entire body was in his arms. she couldn’t help but curve her lips and chuckle silently.
his hot breath fell on her ear, and he said with a low smile, ” “miss shi, focus.”
shi yan pursed her lips and smiled as she turned her gaze to the game screen in front of her. she didn’t really do anything herself. he was the one holding her hand.
after doing this a few times, jiang che asked her, ” “miss shi, do you want to try it yourself?”
“I didn’t learn it,” Shi Yan turned around and said with a smile.
Jiang che stared at her with a smile in his eyes for a few seconds, then lowered his head to kiss her, saying, ” “Then I’ll kick you again.”
the game lasted for more than an hour.
every time jiang che asked shi yan if she wanted to try it herself, shi yan would say that she hadn’t learned it, so jiang che would hold her hand and teach her step by step the entire time.
after playing the game, the two of them came to the claw machine.
“have you played this before?”
of course not.
miss shi, who always liked peace and quiet and could read books all day long without any playfulness, would never have played claw games before.
She shook her head decisively.
Jiang che held her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms.
he didn’t hold her for long. he let go of her in less than half a minute.
“then i’ll go and exchange some coins. i’ll teach you?”
In fact, there was no need to teach him. Just because he had never played it before didn’t mean he didn’t know how to play it.
however, when she met his gentle eyes, shi yan didn’t respond to him. instead, she smiled and nodded. she responded somewhat obediently,”alright,” he said.
after exchanging the coins, jiang che grabbed shi yan’s hand once.
he had successfully caught a little pink pig.
“why don’t you try it yourself?”
Shi Yan was just about to say that she hadn’t learned it when Jiang che spoke first, ” try it first. I’ll teach you if you can’t.
Suddenly meeting his eyes that were filled with pity and heartache, Shi Yan paused, smiled, and nodded.
