Chapter 13 - 013 All my peripheral vision is you_1

In the private room:

Because Fu Jingshen had ordered every dish in the restaurant once.

So in fact, all the dishes had been served, taking up a full two hours.

Gu Nian tugged at the corner of her lips, her appetite was indeed average, but after tasting every delicate dish, she was actually full.

During the meal, the two were mostly silent, not speaking.

The man's dark eyes were piercing, his presence domineering; although he remained silent, there was an invisible pressure that made her feel cornered.

Gu Nian's heart skipped a half-beat, wanting to say something, but in the end, she chose not to speak.

Actually, the reason Fu Jingshen had ordered every dish was to secure more private time with Gu Nian.

After simply moving his chopsticks a few times, Fu Jingshen's deep, dark eyes landed on the stunningly beautiful woman before him, and then on the cola chicken wings Gu Nian was picking up with her chopsticks. His gaze twinkled slightly.

Speaking of which, Gu Nian loved chicken wings the most.

Whether it was cola chicken wings, fried chicken wings, or grilled chicken wings, she liked them all.

He still remembered that weekend, after she moved next to the Gu Family, from Monday to Friday the young lady would hang around him at school, and on weekends, Gu Nian would drag him to the fried chicken restaurant early in the morning.

Gu Nian casually ordered a family bucket, eating it with relish, her little mouth glistening with oil, oblivious to her own mess.

"Brother Jingshen, feed me... Here, feed me a spicy chicken wing."

Fu Jingshen said with his usual aloofness, "Eat it yourself..."

"No way, everyone else's boyfriend feeds their girlfriend."

"Gu Nian, I'm not your boyfriend."

Seeing the man's reluctant face, Gu Nian's motivation for her 'loyal boyfriend plan' surged.

"Sigh, it's almost like you are anyway, I just don't get what you're struggling with..."

Fu Jingshen, listening to Gu Nian's playful and endearing words, despite his verbal refusal, still reached out and handed her a chicken wing, stuffing it into the woman's small mouth.

Gu Nian's mouth was already full with fries and an egg tart, and now stuffed with a chicken wing, it was adorably overflowing.

"Mmm... Oh right, Brother Jingshen, apart from feeding me chicken wings, who else have you fed?"

Gu Nian's question was a roundabout way of scouting out the competition.

Although Fu Jingshen was close to Gu Cheng, Gu Nian was not unfamiliar with Fu Jingshen and knew that there were no girls around him, but it was her habit to double-confirm when it came to girls.

It would also let her know if Fu Jingshen had any experience, convenient for future training into a loyal boyfriend.

Meeting Gu Nian's expectant eyes, Fu Jingshen's thin lips pressed together, and he casually said, "Laifu..."

Gu Nian: "..."

Laifu was the army dog raised by Fu Jingshen's grandfather.

Gu Nian's face darkened on the spot, and she began to cough violently because she had choked.

Fu Jingshen, recalling the woman's cute and coquettish expression at that time, couldn't help but have his eyes twinkle and his lips curve up involuntarily.

...

In the private room, Gu Nian nibbled on the cola chicken wing in her mouth, seeing Fu Jingshen's lost expression and his lips curling up, her beautiful eyes paused.

The man's enchanting handsome face, his exquisite features, his smile captivating, made one's heart wander unwittingly, brightening the view in front of her.

It seemed... it had been a long time since she'd seen Fu Jingshen smile.

She still remembered, three years ago, the man didn't like to smile, but when he was with her, he would always end up curling his lips uncontrollably.

Once, she even made it her ultimate goal to make him laugh.

Thinking back now, it felt like a different lifetime.

Seeing that all the dishes had been served and time was about right, Gu Nian, with a hint of bitterness at the corners of her mouth, put down her chopsticks and said softly, "Mr. Fu, I'm full."

"Hmm."

Memories halted abruptly, as Fu Jingshen's gaze refocused on Gu Nian, his usual indifference returning. He had noted, however, every dish that Gu Nian had touched more than three times just now.

The woman's tastes had not changed much in the past three years.

Fu Jingshen's ink-black eyes narrowed; three years ago, he had learned to cook in order to surprise her, planning to cook for her after they got engaged.

In Fu Jingshen's view, a man should work hard, earn money to support the family, and address the daily necessities including food and shelter.

Moreover, it was essential to take active steps to solve the problem of eating.

Ensuring that the woman following him did not starve to death was not only a matter of earning money; he should also know how to cook.

Fu Jingshen did not expect the carefree Gu Nian to step into the kitchen; he was carefree, but Fu Jingshen could not bear it.

After all, there were knives, natural gas, and some household appliances involved, and Fu Jingshen would be worried about her getting hurt.

It was just unfortunate that Gu Nian probably still did not know that he had learned cooking for her.

At this thought, a bitter feeling flashed through Fu Jingshen's dark eyes.

Fu Jingshen stood up, elegantly pulled out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth, and spoke indifferently.

"Gu Nian, now that you're carrying my child, I absolutely cannot allow our child to go hungry, or be malnourished. Therefore, I expect you to eat on time for every meal. Additionally, you need to strictly control your weight. You can only gain weight, not lose it... Otherwise, I will immediately cut off the Gu Family's financial support."

Gu Nian: "…"

The man's words were cold, decisive, and left no room for rebuttal.

Gu Nian felt troubled; recently, her appetite had not been great, with her full attention on the company's affairs, sometimes leaving early and returning late, naturally leading to irregular meals.

Sometimes, she had to settle for a boxed meal to save time.

Therefore, allowing her weight to increase but not decrease was quite a challenge for Gu Nian.

Gu Nian pursed her lips slightly, feeling somewhat sour inside.

The man used to like keeping her plump, saying it felt better to hold.

Now, it was all about the child...

Gu Nian felt somewhat discontent in her heart, and her psychological burden grew heavier.

"Mr. Fu..."

"Do not argue with me. I'm just informing you."

Gu Nian: "…"

Really quite arrogant, cool, and aloof.

As Gu Nian listened to Fu Jingshen's words, she bit her lip; Fu Jingshen simply walked past her, striding away.

Fine then.

Gu Nian had no idea that although it seemed as though she was out of Fu Jingshen's sight, she was all that he saw in his peripheral vision.

Fu Jingshen left the private room with his front foot; Gu Nian waited a moment before following suit.

Upon seeing Gu Nian's pale complexion, the secretary Laiya quickly approached and said, "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Let's go to the company."

"Alright..."

Just as Gu Nian and Laiya stepped out of the hotel, they encountered Zhao Meng standing in their way, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Gu Nian, I never thought you'd be so shameless after three years, clingy to Mr. Fu with no intention of letting go."

Gu Nian: "…"

Why was this woman so dramatic?
