Chapter 116 He wanted to pursue her but couldn't, she was still a minor at only 14 years old, too young.

  He walks with a clear conscience and rarely looks back, this is his character.

  She watched as Gu Qingheng walked towards her, his tall figure stopping in front of her, taking up most of her field of vision. All that entered her eyes was him, and his deep gaze.

  Ning Qing slowly put down her phone and whispered: "Who walks on the road looking back at their body?"

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, and a deep smile spread across his lips: "Just now, if you had only turned your head to look back, you would have seen me."

  Ning Qing's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him for a few seconds before furrowing her brow and asking, "Aren't you very busy? How do you have time to come here?"

  "After finishing official business, I'll attend to private matters." Gu Qingheng said, his eyes gleaming as he took in Nian Qing's youthful attire.

  Ning Qing didn't ask what private matter it was, but an unusual feeling flashed through her mind.

  She subconsciously asked Gu Qingheng: "Have you been around here... for a long time?"

  Gu Qingheng nodded, his face calm and composed: "From the moment you entered the business world, I've been watching." As he spoke, his gaze slowly swept over Ningqing's figure, his eyes deep and profound.

  My heart skipped a beat, subconsciously, I hid the bag with lingerie behind me, feeling very embarrassed.

  When she went into the lingerie store to buy a bra, she must have been seen by Gu Qingheng.

  "...Why didn't you call me earlier?" Nian Qinggan asked with a dry smile, not daring to meet Gu Qingheng's profound gaze, which would remind her of how reckless they had been that night in his apartment.

  Gu Qingheng gazed intently for a few seconds, his expression unreadable: "It's too early to call you, I'm afraid of scaring you away."

  A moment of silence in the clear moonlight.

  "You're thinking too much." She was hiding from him, that's true. But it wasn't like she had been scared off by him.

  Gu Qing shook his head slightly: "There are many things you haven't thought of."

  Knitting her brows, she lifted up her pale face, wanting to ask what's going on. But seeing Gu Qingheng lift his wrist to glance at his watch, his thin lips opened slightly: "It's almost time, let's go."

  After finishing speaking, he took her hand, his long fingers slid into hers, clasped tightly.

  "Where are we going?" Nian Qing asked nervously, looking at Gu Qingheng who was holding her hand, tall and mature, with a hint of hesitation in her heart.

  "I'm going to pick up my niece from her junior high school, she's almost done with her tutoring class. I'll go get her." As he spoke, Gu Qingheng leaned in, his handsome face tilted, and gazed deeply at Nian Qing: "That night, I said I'd take you to meet her."

  That night...

  Her mind flashed back to the night she and Gu Qingheng were entwined on the bed, a fact that made her heart heavy and her feet light.

  "Gu Qingheng, don't be like this, I'll go see your niece, it's not suitable." Nian Qing struggled slightly, her voice helpless. After all, on the street, she wanted to reason with Gu Qingheng.

  Why does he always act so openly and misleadingly, causing others to misunderstand her relationship with him when everyone else is secretive about their affairs?

  Her identity, went to see his niece, this misunderstanding, more and more, later, he couldn't justify himself.

  "It's very suitable." Gu Qingheng glanced at the mirror in the store, which reflected him and Nianqing. He liked it, and his hand involuntarily tightened around hers: "You and she attended the same junior high school, so you can be considered as sisters from the same school. What's wrong with meeting again?"

  Nian Qing was rendered speechless by his self-righteousness.

  After a moment, she found an excuse: "I'm from a different generation than her, I'm afraid we have a generation gap."

  As soon as she spoke, Qing Leng was stunned, and Gu Qing Heng also stopped in his tracks, looking at her sideways with an unwavering gaze: "And me?"

  He felt embarrassed and realized he had misspoken, so he hastily explained: "....I didn't mean it that way."

  She and Gu Qingheng's niece, if there is a generation gap between them, then the generation gap between her and Gu Qingheng will be even more serious.

  Looked at each other for a few seconds.

  "My car is parked in the parking lot of the shopping mall."

  Knitting his brows in concern, he had a bad premonition.

  "Do you want me to carry you over?" Gu Qingheng asked, his large hand grasping Nian Qing's small one, which was very tender. It seemed as if the next moment, he would scoop her up in his arms right on the street.

  Qing pursed her lips and glared at Gu Qinghe with a hint of annoyance. This man had been acting strangely lately, and she knew he was capable of doing it - "I'm going."

  No way, no compromise.

  ……

  Half an hour.

  A junior high school before.

  Gu Qingheng parked the car not far from the school and turned off the engine: "Wait a minute, she hasn't come out yet."

  On Sunday, there was still a large group of junior high school students in the school taking supplementary lessons, going in and out, attending classes. Nian Qing knew that most of them were third-year junior high school students who were anxiously reviewing for the high school entrance exam.

  Before Nian Qing, she was the same as them, but she matured earlier and understood more clearly than her peers the importance of attending a good high school and university in order to have a way out in the future. She always wanted to leave the Nian family and stand on her own.

  Nian Qing was gazing at the group of junior high school students, while Gu Qing Heng quietly gazed at her.

  She has always been the deepest dream in his heart. Now she is on his car, by his side, as real as a dream come true.

  This junior high school is where he and she had their first conversation.

  Gu Qingheng gazed at Nian Qing's pale and delicate profile, his eyes filled with deep understanding.

  ……

  Before

  Gu Qingheng would drive over to this junior high school whenever he had time, to see the girl in his heart.

  From the time she was in junior high school to her third year, Gu Qinghe had been watching her from afar on the bus, observing every move she made. She didn't know him and he never got off the bus to approach her. She was still young and a man's approach would scare her.

  That day.

  Gu Qingheng got off the bus because Nian Qing laughed, a truly hearty laugh.

  She wore a blue and white school uniform, with a pure smile, the summer sunshine shining on her face, so pale it was almost transparent. Watching from afar, it felt very unreal.

  Gu Qingheng picked up a pack of cigarettes from the car, pulled out one, lit it, and took a few fierce puffs.

  He needs to restrain himself and can't get close to Nian Qing so quickly. He knows that once he gets close, it's hard for him to keep a distance from her again.

  But under the sunlight, she is very pure and innocent, as if, just a little closer, you can hear her laughter.

  A student beside her said something and she laughed so hard that her pale face turned round, very cute.

  Gu Qing slowly extinguished the cigarette, opened the car door, and got out. Incidentally, he threw half of the cigarette into the trash can. Unable to restrain his impulse, he stepped closer to Nian Qing.

  Standing behind her, gazing at her closely.

  Qing's laughter, little by little, floated into his ears, and Gu Qinghe was satisfied with what he had heard. He looked at Qing, his eyes deep and focused, carving her smile inch by inch, treasuring it in his memory.

  Ning Qing didn't leave and was waiting for another classmate to come out. She was chatting with other classmates and burst into laughter from time to time.

  Gu Qingheng took out his mobile phone and opened the camera function...

  At the school gate, students were dismissed in groups, crowded together. Several boys were chasing and running, bumping into Nian Qing and her classmates beside her.

  "Be careful." Gu Qingheng quickly stepped forward and supported Nian Qing who almost fell.

  "Bang—" his phone fell to the ground, the screen shattered.

  He frowned tightly.

  "Thank you." Jing Qing said thank you, not seeing the broken phone on the ground, and was thinking of going to help up that classmate who wasn't as lucky as her and had fallen to the ground. But the hand on her waist didn't let go for a long time.

  "Sorry." Qing said nervously, correcting himself. "Did I bump into you?"

  Gu Qingheng listened but didn't hear, his eyes greedily taking in the vivid expressions on Nian Qing's face at such a close distance.

  Tender, childish, with a soft body, like having no bones, a bit baby fat, but already has feminine curves.

  Gu Qingheng couldn't move his eyes away, it wasn't enough, he couldn't see enough of her, he really wanted to take her with him, and he really wanted her to know him.

  Really want to have her.

  Ning Qing suddenly let out a soft cry, scrunched up her small face, and pointed at the phone on the ground: "The phone, was it me who bumped into it?"

  "No." Gu Qingheng denied, a mobile phone, he didn't need her to compensate. But Nian Qing was still a bit tense, so Gu Qingheng said: "This is not my mobile phone."

  Nian Qing nodded repeatedly, staring at the phone with a cracked screen on the ground, frightened.

  Gu Qingheng slowly let go of his hand, the young girl in front of him, he really wanted to pursue her, make her belong to him, but couldn't. She was still a minor, only 14 years old, too young.

  He needs patience to wait for her to gradually get to know him.

  Ning Qing walked away, helping up the classmate who was on the ground. The classmate she had been waiting for also came out. Gu Qing Heng watched her leave, his gaze following her as she never turned back.

  A moment.

  Gu Qingheng picked up the broken phone from the ground.

  Need someone to fix it.
