Chapter 11: The Awkward Atmosphere
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Zhan seemed to be angry on the way home, and the atmosphere around him in the car was depressing.
Su Luo tried to speak a few times to ease the atmosphere. But when she met Gu Zhan’s cold eyes, she swallowed her words back.
She didn’t know what Gu Zhan why Gu Zhan was angry. Her attitude towards Lin Tian was mean enough just now, and she even declared Gu Zhan’s identity in front of Lin Tian. Su Luo couldn’t find any reason for Gu Zhan to be angry, no matter which angle she looked at it.
Gu Bei and Gu Xi, who sat in the back row, sensed something was wrong. Their father would always find something to say regardless of whether their mother would pay attention to him or not. However, their father did not take the initiative to talk to their mother in the car, which was unusual.
“Daddy, you are so quiet today.”
Gu Xi’s soft voice came from the back seat of the car. Her mother and her father had finally got along well. But her father was acting strange now. She did not like that.
“Didn’t Daddy tell you? Daddy is tired and wants to rest. That’s why I’m not talking.”
Gu Zhan sounded more patient and gentler when he spoke to his daughter.
“Are you sure, daddy?”
Gu Xi stretched out her neck to look at Gu Zhan’s expression. But she could not move much due to the restrictions of the child safety seat.
“Yes.”
Gu Zhan looked at Gu Xi’s expression from the rearview mirror. He smiled.
“Alright, Xixi. Daddy is tired. Stop talking to him anymore. Let him concentrate on driving.”
Gu Bei looked at Gu Xi and said.
“Okay, brother.”
Gu Xi nodded obediently.
Gu Bei was sometimes mature like an adult. Although Gu Xi was clever and mischievous, she listened to her bother most of the time.
There was dead silence in the car again.
Su Luo felt like days sitting in the car throughout the one-hour drive.
When they finally reached home, Gu Xi ran into the house cheerfully. Gu Bei followed behind her and told her to be careful.
Nanny Zhang came out from the kitchen with a happy smile on her face, “Oh, you are back? I’ll go make dinner now.”
“Nanny Zhang, we can have dinner later. Please play with the kids for a while.”
Su Luo stopped Nanny Zhang from going to the kitchen and glanced at Gu Zhan beside her.
Nanny Zhang immediately understood and held the hands of the two kids, “Alright, Miss Su. Kids, do you want to play hide-and-seek with grandma.”
Gu Xi wanted to ask Su Luo to play with her. But after Gu Bei whispered a few words into her ear, she changed her mind and obediently followed Nanny Zhang.
“Gu Zhan, we...”
Su Luo was about to speak to Gu Zhan when Gu Zhan walked past her and walked towards the study.
“I’m going to work in the study. You can go back to your room and rest.”
Gu Zhan said coly and was about to leave.
Anger stirred within Su Luo. She guessed that Gu Zhan was trying to keep away from her.
Su Luo hated it the most was when others ran away from their problems.
Sul Luo pulled Gu Zhan back angrily and said, “Come with me. I have something to tell you.”
Then, Sul Luo dragged Gu Zhan forcefully into the bedroom. Then, she locked the door behind her, not giving Gu Zhan a chance to leave the room.
“What are you doing?”
Gu Zhan sounded a little panicked when he asked that. He had never seen Su Luo like this before.
Su Luo didn’t answer him. She pushed Gu Zhan to the wall and placed her hands on both sides, trapping him between her arms.
Gu Zhan was taller than Su Luo. So, Su Luo could only lift her head to look at him.
Gu Zhan blushed a little. He sounded nervous when he said, “What... What are you trying to do?”
Su Luo stared into Gu Zhan’s eyes and the sound of his heart hammering in his chest. In fact, she was also nervous. After all, she had no experience in dating, but she couldn’t stand Gu Zhan’s cold attitude.
She was there to help Gu Zhan, not to sulk with him.
Su Luo made up her mind and tiptoed to kiss Gu Zhan’s slightly cold lips.
The moist and hot touch on Gu Zhan’s lips stimulated his senses. Gu Zhan shuddered a little as if something had struck him. The first thing that popped up in his mind was Su Luo kissed him.
