    Chapter 84: Lin Sui is Jealous

    “I’m, I’m sorry, guest. I didn’t mean to.” Duan Miao lowered his head, his face as pale as paper, almost crying as he said, “Please don’t tell the supervisor, I really need this job. I, I can wash it for you, or I can pay the full amount as compensation!”

    Gu Nian pinched his brow irritably, and said coldly, “No need.”

    Firstly, this was a custom-made item for him, and he didn’t want his and Lin Sui’s couple outfit to be bought by someone else.

    Moreover, he had no proof that the person did it on purpose, so there was no point in compensation.

    Even so, Gu Nian still had a gloomy face until Lin Sui gently poked his arm.

    “Don’t be unhappy. Let’s go and change our clothes first, okay? Were you burned?” Lin Sui gently wiped the stain with a tissue, patiently coaxing him, “I’ll buy ten more sets of these clothes later, and you can pick them all. You can change one set a day to wear.”

    Gu Nian pursed his lips, and the irritability in his heart disappeared for the most part, as he nodded with a smile.

    The two turned to leave, both thinking that this matter would end here. However, Duan Miao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Nian’s arm.

    Because Lin Sui had to push the wheelchair, Duan Miao almost directly bypassed Lin Sui to grab Gu Nian, making it look like he was deliberately trying to get close.

    Gu Nian naturally thought of this point, and associated it with the recently restless Gu Zhicai. The suppressed thoughts from before resurfaced, and his eyes instantly turned cold, “What exactly do you want to do?”

    Duan Miao was startled, his eyes widened like a frightened animal as he took a few steps back. He twisted the hem of his clothes, biting his lip stubbornly, “You don’t need to pity me, I will definitely compensate you.”

    He looked like a little white flower shivering in a storm.

    Very pitiful.

    Lin Sui’s heart rose again. In the original book, the protagonist Gong and Shou had an intersection because of this accident and then developed feelings for each other over time.

    He glanced at Gu Nian, who was lowering his eyes as if thinking, and hesitated whether to interrupt Duan Miao.

    After all, he was now Gu Nian’s legal wife, and it was completely reasonable to offer to handle this matter.

    While he was hesitating, Gu Nian had already raised his head to look at Duan Miao. His handsome face showed no emotion, and he said expressionlessly, “Okay, it’s a total of twelve thousand yuan. You can transfer it to this card later.”

    After speaking, he reported Lin Sui’s card number.

    Duan Miao was stunned, completely unexpected that the other party would be so straightforward. At the same time, he was shocked by the number, and tears began to well up in his eyes again, stubbornly refusing to fall, “I, I may not be able to pay it back for a while… I can give you my contact information, I will definitely not run away.”

    Gu Nian curled his lips and sneered, already tired of such a roundabout, and said lightly, “Sorry, I have a family and don’t add strangers’ contact information.”

    As he spoke, he also raised his hand to deliberately show off the diamond ring on his hand, “Can’t you see that I’m married? Don’t you know that it’s very inappropriate to rashly pull a married man?”

    The bling-bling big diamond ring sparkled in the sun. Lin Sui bought the largest size that could be worn out, and it was a bit heavy to wear. Ordinary people would definitely see it at a glance.

    After all, it exuded a strong fragrance of money.

    After hearing this, Lin Sui couldn’t help but look at Gu Nian. These words could already be considered harsh.

    Sure enough, Duan Miao immediately began to sway, and the tears in his eyes fell patter, flowing down his face along the most beautiful route as he raised his face, angrily saying, “I am poor, but you can’t insult my personality!”

    Gu Nian:?

    Gu Nian was amused, he just stated a fact, how did he insult the other party?

    However, he was too lazy to continue to entangle, pulled Lin Sui and left straight away, without looking back.

    Duan Miao chased after him dissatisfied to argue, Gu Nian looked back, with no expression that made people feel unapproachable, “If you dare to pester me again, you will really lose this job.”

    Without waiting for the other party to react, Gu Nian turned his head indifferently and disappeared around the corner with Lin Sui.

    Duan Miao looked at the matching and taciturn backs of the two, but suddenly felt a little lost. For some reason, he felt that something that belonged to him suddenly disappeared.

    “Duan Miao, where have you been? Come over and help!”

    The supervisor finally found him and reprimanded him angrily.

    At the beginning, he reluctantly hired Duan Miao because he looked good and had a sincere attitude. Who knew that people could not be judged by their appearance.

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Duan Miao bowed repeatedly, repeatedly saying that he wouldn’t do it again before continuing to work, but he always couldn’t help but think of the man whose clothes he had soiled, so absent-minded that he made several mistakes in his work, and was finally sent home directly by the supervisor.

    Lin Sui didn’t know about the protagonist’s tragic experience. He was in the bathroom at this time, changing clothes for Gu Nian.

    In fact, Gu Nian could do this kind of thing himself, but he was a little uneasy today, and subconsciously wanted to spend more time with Gu Nian. Gu Nian couldn’t ask for more, so naturally he wouldn’t refuse.

    The coffee was a whole cup, almost all of it on Gu Nian. The temperature had risen in the past few days, and he wasn’t wearing very thick clothes. Lin Sui was worried as he looked at the clothes that were all soiled.

    There was no place to buy clothes here, but he couldn’t let Gu Nian go out like this.

    After hesitating for a while, Lin Sui tentatively said, “Why don’t you wear mine for now?”

    Gu Nian’s eyes shifted to the hooded sweatshirt Lin Sui was wearing. This whole set of clothes was matched by him, and the style of the inner lining and outerwear could be seen as a set at a glance.

    So he happily agreed: “Okay.”

    This was much better than couple outfits.

    Lin Sui quickly took off his coat. Only a little bit of stain on the innermost piece of Gu Nian’s clothes, so he could barely wear it. He put the coat on Gu Nian and said embarrassedly, “The clothes are a bit small, just wear them for now.”

    The difference in size between him and Gu Nian was a bit big. His clothes became tight on Gu Nian, and the zipper couldn’t be pulled up, which looked a bit funny.

    “It’s okay.” Gu Nian smelled Lin Sui’s scent on the clothes and couldn’t be more satisfied.

    The two continued to visit the exhibition. The obviously ill-fitting clothes really attracted a lot of attention. If eyes could talk, there would probably be a chorus of “You young couple are really good at playing.” and “Do single dogs have no human rights?”

    Lin Sui was completely unaware of this and was soon attracted by various exhibits. He then saw various robots. In addition to the types that were close to life and assisted, there were also mahjong robots for complete entertainment, and even one specially designed to argue with people. Lin Sui couldn’t imagine who would need this kind of robot.

    But he still went up and had a friendly exchange with the robot. However, this robot was not friendly at all. Lin Sui not only couldn’t win the argument but was also ridiculed. He angrily turned into a pufferfish and returned to Gu Nian, pouting and turning away without looking back.

    By the time they finished watching the exhibition, it was dusk. The sky outside was gloomy at some point, and dark clouds were gathering in the sky. The cold wind mercilessly beat against passersby, forcing them to tighten their clothes and hurry forward, praying not to encounter heavy rain.

    However, the reality is never satisfactory. Before long, a few raindrops fell from the sky, and then suddenly a heavy rain started, as if pouring a basin of water out.

    Lin Sui looked worriedly at the weather outside, and looked down at the ride-hailing app on his phone, which showed that he would have to wait at least forty minutes.

    There were umbrellas sent out for free at the door, but Lin Sui was reluctant to let Gu Nian catch a cold, so he had to hide in the venue with heating devices and wait patiently.

    He chatted with Gu Nian aimlessly, without any impatience.

    However, whether it was fate’s guidance, Duan Miao, who should have gone home early, miraculously jumped out, but he didn’t dare to be as bold as before. After approaching, he asked a little cautiously, “I drove, why don’t I take you back? Even as part of the apology.”

    When he said this, he seemed unable to see Lin Sui next to him, and looked at Gu Nian with unwavering eyes, even when asking he said “you” instead of “you all”.

    Lin Sui looked at Duan Miao a little strangely. According to reason, the protagonist Shou shouldn’t have liked Gu Nian at this time, but how did he feel a faint hostility?

    Could it be that he was too sensitive and regarded Duan Miao as an imaginary enemy?

    Gu Nian was about to impatiently refuse, but paused when he saw Lin Sui’s somewhat dignified expression, revealing a little hesitation.

    It must be difficult to get a taxi in this kind of weather, but the company’s cars were all used to provide benefits to employees today, and there were no free cars.

    Duan Miao keenly noticed the opportunity and took the initiative to say, “There is air conditioning in my car, it won’t be cold.”

    Lin Sui was awakened by this sentence, and he was agitated. He blurted out reflexively: “No need!”

    The young man’s attitude was rarely tough, and Gu Nian also heard a hint of panic, feeling a little puzzled. But since Lin Sui didn’t want to sit, he didn’t want to sit even more, “Thank you.”

    The tone was still polite, but this was a rejection.

    Duan Miao reluctantly wanted to say something, and unconsciously stepped forward to touch Gu Nian. Lin Sui quickly took a step forward, just to let Duan Miao’s hand fall empty, hanging awkwardly in mid-air.

    Gu Nian raised his eyebrows, thought of something, and a little subtle smile appeared in his eyes.

    Lin Sui realized that he had overreacted after he finished speaking, and explained dryly, “We, we have umbrellas and are going to take the subway, thank you for your kindness.”

    Then he opened the umbrella and pushed Gu Nian into the rain, his footsteps a little messy.

    Duan Miao watched from afar, biting his lip in disappointment.

    Lin Sui pushed Gu Nian for a long distance, until he could no longer see the venue at all before suddenly stopping. His lively face was covered in the rain, adding a bit of melancholy.

    Gu Nian was in a good mood and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

    Lin Sui was silent for a long time, and said sullenly, “Why don’t we go back?”

    He came out on impulse, but now that he calmed down, Lin Sui felt that he was a bit self-willed. Of course, it was best to have a car to ride in this kind of weather. Although the umbrella could block the rain, it couldn’t block the cold wind.

    And it would take fifteen minutes to walk to the subway station, which would be even slower in the rain.

    Gu Nian’s body was not good to begin with, how could he let him blow in the wind for so long?

    Gu Nian was stunned for a moment. The tacit understanding over a long period of time allowed him to immediately understand what Lin Sui was thinking. The smile on his lips couldn’t help but grow bigger and bigger, his face full of sweetness.

    “But I want to walk with you.” Gu Nian turned his head, his dark pupils focused on the depressed young man, full of tender affection, “Just accompany me, okay, huh?”
