Chapter 893 The Honest Girl Waiting for the Prodigal Son to Return (6)
As soon as Gu Fengyan appeared, Mu Zhou unconsciously sat up straighter.
Gu Fengmian also saw him and casually said:
"go out?"
"Ah."
He picked up his coat, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Mu Zhou.
With similarly slender, slightly upturned eyes, Gu Fengmian appeared more dashing when looking at people, while Gu Fengyan gave off an unfathomable calmness.
Mu Zhou made eye contact with him for a fleeting moment, then quickly looked away, focusing on the game on her phone screen.
Only when that faint gaze disappeared did he relax.
The character you're controlling also happens to die.
Gu Fengmian clicked his tongue:
"You really have absolutely no talent for playing games."
Mu Zhou put down his phone and awkwardly forced a smile.
"I'm really not very good at it."
Seeing that she seemed a little uneasy, Gu Fengmian coughed lightly and quickly changed his words:
"For your first time playing, you did quite well. Of course, the main reason is that I taught you well."
Ling Yu found it rather strange to see the young couple sticking together so affectionately.
Although the two had been dating for a while, their relationship had always been that of a male god and a simp.
At first glance, they look a bit like a real couple, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it.
He checked the time and suggested:
"How about going to CNDCLUB tonight?"
It's still so early, we should at least go for a second round and have a good time at the glitz and glamour club.
Moreover, that was Gu Fengmian's territory, so they felt free to cause trouble there.
Several other men and women responded quickly.
Mu Zhou then whispered to Gu Fengmian:
"You guys go have fun, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't go."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her blurry, tearful eyes blinking a few times.
He looks rather pitiful.
Gu Fengmian's heart skipped a beat. He looked away, stood up, and said to his friends:
"Alright, alright, you can go to CNDCLUB if you want, I'll take Mu Zhou home."
The group stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Brother Mian, aren't you going?"
"No, let's hurry up and leave."
He impatiently started to shoo people away, then took Mu Zhou's hand and left the villa first.
Once outside, he didn't let go, slowing his pace and saying casually:
"Want to grab a late-night snack?"
Mu Zhou looked at their clasped hands, struggled slightly, and easily pulled his hand away.
"No, I'm not hungry."
Gu Fengmian looked at his empty hand, feeling a little awkward, but pretended to be nonchalant as he put it in his pocket and gave a light scoff:
"It's fine if you don't eat, so I don't have to go out of my way to take you to eat."
The driver had already brought the car over, and he got in first.
Mu Zhou chuckled softly as she looked at his seemingly embarrassed and angry expression.
Are you upset by her rejection and lack of appreciation?
It's okay, you'll gradually get used to it as you face more rejections in the future.

Gu Fengmian and Mu Zhou hadn't seen each other for over a week.
Moreover, he discovered that he was the one initiating contact with her during this period.
This discovery immediately put him on alert, and he quickly put down his phone.
Then, remembering something, he quickly grabbed his phone and retracted the message he had just sent.
[My birthday is on the 13th, I'll take you to Norway to see the Northern Lights.]
I was finally relieved after seeing the withdrawal.
He called his assistant and asked them to cancel Mu Zhou's flight so he and his friend could fly directly to Norway.
He needs to calm down.
Lately, he has become too obsessed with Mu Zhou, almost uncontrollably wanting to go to her like a simp.
Gu Fengmian felt anxious and restless if she didn't reply to his messages immediately.
What's going on? Isn't he a playboy and scumbag who lives a carefree life?
This doesn't fit his image at all.
That's why he decisively decided to take a break for a while.
On the other side, Mu Zhou naturally saw his retracted message, but still replied two hours later:
[I'm sorry, I didn't see what you retracted.]
At this moment, Gu Fengmian on the plane was staring intently at his phone, intently reading the message she had sent. The screen went off and on again, on and off again, but in the end, he couldn't resist replying:
"It's nothing, I went abroad with friends."
They replied very quickly:
Will you come back before your birthday?
Can I celebrate your birthday with you?
Gu Fengmian almost lost control and replied instantly. He slapped the back of his hand hard to calm down before replying with a cool and aloof tone:
【Let’s talk about this later.】
Seeing this, Ling Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"Brother Mian is really something. If I dared to talk to my girlfriend like that, she would break up with me on the spot."
Gu Fengmian put away her phone, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him.
"You have a girlfriend now?"
Isn't he the type to only have physical relationships and never give anyone a formal commitment? Where did this girlfriend come from?
Ling Yu chuckled:
"We just started dating. My girlfriend is really great."
Silly.
Gu Fengmian scoffed lightly, and upon hearing his phone notification sound, quickly opened it.
It was another message from Mu Zhou.
Have you arrived yet?
Not yet, on the plane.
[You can use your phone on a plane? I thought it couldn't be turned on.]
Gu Fengmian smiled and quickly tapped the screen to reply:
That's all outdated information. Now, not only can it be turned on, but it can also connect to the internet.
Gu Fengmian paused, a sudden tightness in his chest.
He realized that he hadn't been very good to Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou's family is ordinary and they haven't traveled much.
He remembered her saying that the last time she took a plane was when she was in junior high school, when the school took them to participate in a competition.
Apart from that, her means of transportation are trains and buses.
He hasn't taken her out to play yet.
Gu Fengmian felt a tightness in his chest.
He thought that once he calmed down and regained his previous state of mind, he would come back and take her out to enjoy herself.
She's his girlfriend; she should experience those wonderful things.
*
Before we knew it, it was the 13th.
Mu Zhou took half a day off to make a cake by hand and then went to Gu Fengmian's house with gifts and flowers.
She glanced at her phone; Gu Fengmian hadn't replied yet.
Last night, she asked him if he would come back for his birthday, but he didn't reply.
Mu Zhou was initially worried that something might have happened to him, but Ling Yu updated his social media, showing that he and Gu Fengmian had been together.
So she sent Gu Fengmian another message:
【Then I'll go to your house first and wait for you to celebrate your birthday.】
Meanwhile in Norway, Gu Fengmian was anxiously staring at his phone.
Those eyes, which always held a flirtatious smile, were now tinged with annoyance.
He knew he shouldn't go back; his passion for Mu Zhou hadn't cooled down yet.
These past few days, he's been thinking about her every single day.
But when facing Mu Zhou, even through a screen, he couldn't bring himself to say a direct refusal, so he could only evade the issue and pretend he didn't see it.
He looked at the time.
If you board the plane back to China now, you can still arrive before midnight local time.
They can even celebrate birthdays together.
But if he does that, wouldn't it be pointless for him to forcibly avoid seeing Mu Zhou and deliberately go abroad to hide?
Gu Fengmian's heart was pounding wildly. He stared at his phone, his face grim.
