The dining area was not too shabby. The melodious tune of a violin drifted in the air. Nan Cheng was cosmopolitan and many of the restaurants were run by foreigners.
2This particular restaurant was run by a Frenchman. Huo Nanchen saw the French cuisine on the menu and wanted to help Gu Ruochu order. However, he realized that she was already very familiar with ordering in French. Her pronunciation was very standard and there was no change in her expression.
2"Young Master, Young Madam, this is a special red wine from the boss. I wish the two of you the best in your love, it's as mellow as red wine. Enjoy your meal."
2"Thank you."
2Huo Nanchen's name seemed to resonate wherever he went.
However, when they heard the word "love" they were passive and assumed they had not heard the waiter.
2After the dishes were served, the waiter politely retreated and Gu Ruochu began to eat in an elegant manner.
Her manners were so good that it was unbelievable. Huo Nanchen knew that his wife was not of high birth, but her refined eating manners were elegant to the extreme. She actually gave off a ladylike, gentle, and refined feeling.
2Such an upbringing could not be developed overnight, nor could it be taught by Zhou Yunxi. On the contrary, her mother had no hint of nobility in the way she carried herself.
2Huo Nanchen had a lot of suspicious points about Gu Ruochu. Ever since the car accident, he had become increasingly unable to understand her.
2"Where did you learn to speak French? It's very standard."
2Huo Nanchen sat upright in front of Gu Ruochu. His seemingly calm eyes stared deeply at her. They were like a pond filled with endless ink.
2Gu Ruochu only glanced at him calmly but she did not say a word. Huo Nanchen did not force her to explain and they continued having their meal.
2One day, he would find out the answers to all his questions.
2"Gu Ruochu, I actually never thought about divorce. It's good to experience such a troublesome thing like marriage only once."
2Gu Ruochu paused with her chopsticks. She looked at his elegant manner as he ate and could not understand why he had made that statement. Some people believed that marriage was based on love, while others believed it was a task that had to be completed.
2Huo Nanchen fit the second description.
2Hadn't he always despised her?
2She glanced at him and said meaningfully, "I never thought about marriage in the first place. But I still married you, didn't I? That's why everything is possible."
2Huo Nanchen pursed his thin lips and fell silent. The fire in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
2Gu Ruochu did not pay much attention to his emotions. She had other things on her mind as she sipped a few mouthfuls of red wine.
2The meal lasted for almost an hour. Mrs. Huo called to urge Gu Ruochu to hurry up. Although the banquet wouldn't begin until six in the evening, Gu Ruochu still had to put on her makeup and prepare.
2In the past, Gu Ruochu had done many ridiculous things at such events. This time, Mrs. Huo hoped to see a big change in her behavior at the banquet. However, she was still worried that her daughter-in-law would let her down, so she hoped that Gu Ruochu would be prepared in advance.
2"Are you done eating? We'll leave after you're done."
2Huo Nanchen had already stood up when he realized that Gu Ruochu had not moved from her seat. She rubbed her forehead uncomfortably.
2"What's wrong?"
2"I'm a little dizzy. The wine was too strong."
2Huo Nanchen looked at the half-empty bottle of red wine and the corners of his mouth twitched. She had taken the red wine hastily as if it was just a bottle of water.
2"Hug me."
2The two words that Gu Ruochu spat out shocked Huo Nanchen. However, he still bent down and held her firmly in his arms. She was becoming more and more willful towards him.
2However, for some reason, he did not hate her.
"..."
It was almost six o'clock in the evening and the entire Huo family mansion was brightly lit. In the glowing castle, the grand banquet was about to begin.
