Chapter 712 Looking for Chapter Questions
Before lunch, Gu Chen still found an opportunity to talk to Jiang Mubai. The reason was that Jiang Mubai had been sitting on the sofa with Jiang An and others for too long, and Jiang Mubai was tired and wanted to get up and move around.
After seeing this, Jiang Zhen immediately asked Gu Chen to take Jiang Mubai for a walk in the yard. Seeing that Jiang Zhen had spoken, Jiang Mubai felt embarrassed to refuse so he had to follow Gu Chen to the yard to get some fresh air.
At first, Jiang Mubai was very happy when she knew that Gu Chen was her childhood playmate. As long as he didn't do anything to hurt her, Jiang Mubai wanted to make him her friend.
Later, after Jiang Mubai learned from Jiang Jinglan what Gu Chen thought of her, Jiang Mubai had to be cautious in her heart. Not to mention that she was already married to Cheng Yunchuan, even if she and Cheng Yunchuan did not end up together, Jiang Mubai did not like Gu Chen. So in order to avoid wasting Gu Chen's time and feelings, Jiang Mubai decided to maintain the status quo with him.
Gu Chen obviously didn't know that the fact that he liked Jiang Mubai had been known by the person involved. He was still as enthusiastic towards Jiang Mubai as before, but this enthusiasm was just within the right scale. Jiang Mubai didn't feel offended by Gu Chen when he was with him.
Jiang Mubai didn't know how to tell Gu Chen that he was interested in her. After all, Gu Chen didn't take the initiative to show anything. Jiang Mubai didn't want to bring up this matter when he didn't show any reaction, otherwise it would seem too impolite.
"There's no sun here, Mu Bai, why don't you sit over here? I'll switch seats with you."
"It's okay. The sun isn't too strong today so it's nice to get some sun."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai refused Gu Chen and did not insist on changing seats with him, the servants in the villa prepared drinks and food for the two of them and brought them up. Gu Chen saw this and considerately moved all the things to Jiang Mubai's side.
"Thank you." Jiang Mubai thanked Gu Chen after seeing his thoughtful gesture. Gu Chen shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Come to think of it, they were still young when they met and they hadn't run into each other for so many years, so it was normal for them to feel unfamiliar and awkward.
Knowing that they were strangers to each other, Jiang Mubai did not take the initiative to speak but sat in his seat, stroking his belly and emptying his mind.
Jiang Mubai's belly is already very big now. Even if she wears a very loose skirt, others can tell at a glance that she is pregnant.
There were only her and Gu Chen in the villa yard, and Jiang Mubai's actions made it hard for Gu Chen not to pay attention.
Gu Chen thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to talk to Jiang Mubai about children, as long as he was careful not to ask overly private questions. Gu Chen reminded himself to be careful about the scale and started chatting with Jiang Mubai.
"You keep touching your belly. How many months old is the baby?"
"It's been more than six months."
"Then the baby is due in two or three months, right? Are both the baby and you healthy? I heard that as the pregnancy progresses, it becomes more and more difficult."
"Yes, at the beginning, when my belly was not yet visible, I really didn't feel like a mother. Now that my belly is getting bigger, I am slowly developing a bond with the child. This is how it is after pregnancy. I actually feel that some things are inconvenient to do now."
"for example?"
Jiang Mubai initially thought that Gu Chen was just trying to find a random topic to talk about because he felt the atmosphere between them was awkward. But now seeing him talking about this topic again, Jiang Mubai was curious whether Gu Chen was really interested in this topic or was just making small talk.
Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't answer his question directly but showed a puzzled expression, Gu Chen also felt that it was indeed a bit strange for a grown man like him to be interested in these things, so in order not to leave a bad impression on Jiang Mubai, Gu Chen had to explain.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious and there's nothing much to talk about here. I'm not good at finding topics to talk about, so you don't have to answer if you don't want to. Just do whatever makes you happy with me."
Jiang Mubai really believed Gu Chen's honesty. Seeing Gu Chen's words, she shook her head and said, "It's not difficult to answer. When your belly gets bigger, you can't stand all the time because you have weight on your body. Your waist and abdomen will feel sore. Also, if something falls on the ground, you can't just bend down to pick it up. You can't bend down with a big belly and it will squeeze the baby."
Jiang Mubai didn't tell Gu Chen too much detail because there was no need, so she just picked out some unimportant things to tell Gu Chen.
After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded seriously, "It's really not easy for a girl to get pregnant and give birth. Those married couples must love their spouses very much, otherwise they wouldn't risk giving birth to children for others."
"right."
In fact, Gu Chen also sent people to investigate the matter between Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan. Obviously, his current relationship with Jiang Mubai is not good enough to talk about this matter. Gu Chen knows his limits. Although he wants to know a lot about Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan, he will not rashly ask about this matter if the timing is not right.
"I heard from Uncle An that you made money by studying with your teacher. I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"No, it's the teacher who taught me well. I didn't expect him to tell you these things."
"It was Uncle An who called Godfather and told him. I happened to be there at the time so I heard it. Uncle An was happy to see you being so outstanding so he called to share his feelings with Godfather. Uncle An really loves you as his daughter."
"I know that no one can feel his love for me more than I do."
"Are you learning those things because you want to join the company and help Uncle An with business matters in the future?"
"No, I was quite bored staying in the old house at that time, so he wanted to find me something to do to kill time, so he found a teacher for me to learn these knowledge. I didn't have any other ideas, but I didn't want to let go of the opportunity to learn new things and get in touch with these things."
"You are really outstanding, Mu Bai. There are very few people as good as you."
"No, there are many people who are better than me."
"So what? I don't know them."
"Tell me about your childhood. It's been so long, do you still remember it?"
Through chatting with Gu Chen, Jiang Mubai slowly opened up. She was actually quite curious about her childhood. Seeing Gu Chen here, Jiang Mubai took the initiative to ask.
"I remember some of them, but I really forgot some of them. What do you want to know?"
Seeing Jiang Mubai taking the initiative to find a topic, Gu Chen was naturally happy. Jiang Mubai also specifically asked about their childhood. Gu Chen naturally wanted to tell Jiang Mubai everything he still remembered.
"It depends on what you remember. I won't be picky if anything is fine."
"Okay, let me think about where to start."
Later, Gu Chen told Jiang Mubai about the things that happened when they were young. Although Gu Chen said that he couldn't remember some things clearly, he still talked to Jiang Mubai for about half an hour.
Some of them were complete stories, while some were just fragments for Gu Chen. However, no matter what Gu Chen could remember, he told Jiang Mubai.
