Chapter 26 True and False Fiancé
The phone rang for a long time, so long that Gu Miao's eyelids trembled and she was about to fall asleep when she heard a soft ring.
There was a rustling sound over there, and the other party was woken up by the phone. His voice was hoarse and mixed with a hint of impatience, "Speak."
"You..."
Two voices sounded together.
Hearing some unfamiliar male voices over there, Gu Miao's closed eyes opened.
She slowly took the phone away from her ear, squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the string of numbers displayed on the screen.
I dialed it entirely from memory.
She thought it was Gu Xu, but the voice told him otherwise.
Whose phone number does this belong to...
The voice sounds familiar, but I can't remember who it is.
Several familiar male protagonists were screened in her mind, and none of them seemed to match.
Maybe the wrong button was pressed.
Gu Miao thought and prepared to apologize.
It's very inhumane to wake someone up by making the wrong phone call in the middle of the night.
But if you explain it, the other party should be able to scold you more lightly, right?
The phone was quiet as if it had been hung up.
Gu Miao stared at the interface that was still on the call for a few seconds, then put it back to her ear to listen carefully, but there was still no sound.
"Hello?"
I tried to make a sound, but got no response.
She guessed that the person opposite him might be asleep. After thinking about it, she didn't interrupt him again. She silently said sorry in her heart and ended the call.
At the same time, on a private island.
There was no light on in the bedroom, no light. The man was lying on the bed, maintaining the position where he had just answered the phone. The phone did not leave his ear for a long time.
The girl's soft voice disappeared.
The screen turned on, and under the faint light, those peach blossom eyes narrowed and opened again, flashing an eerie light in the dark night.
When he came to his senses and called back, the phone on the other end was already turned off.
He went back and carefully checked where the number belonged...
His number is a private number and not many people know it.
So much so that he was so sleepy that when he was woken up, he answered the call without looking carefully to see whose call it was.
Unexpectedly, it was a female voice.
It was still a familiar female voice.
He suspected that he was dreaming, especially when he saw that the number belonged to an unknown second- and third-tier city in the south. He became even more convinced that it was his illusion.
The cell phone was thrown onto the bedside table with a bang, like a drum beating in the silent night, without stopping.
The man belatedly realized that it was not the sound of his cell phone, but his heartbeat.
The next second, he turned over and sat up, turned on the reading light on the bedside, picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
"Check me the IP address of a number."
"Before dawn, I want to know all the information about this number."
After saying that, the man took the phone off his ear, and his finger stayed on the hang-up button for a few seconds, but did not press it.
The subordinate was still waiting for him to hang up the phone, and upon seeing this, he quickly asked if he had any further instructions.
The tip of his tongue touched his back molar, the man chuckled and put the phone back to his ear: "Let's check my whereabouts by the way."
"No, two."
"Who is it?"
"Of course they are my two good brothers." The man tapped his index finger. "I haven't been back to Beijing for a while. I'm really curious about what they have been doing recently."
"Do you want to detail everything?"
"Uh-huh." The man smiled playfully, "We are said to be good brothers, so of course we should take good care of him."
"Understood!"
——
Gu Miao couldn't remember Gu Xu's phone number, so she finally searched around and found the internal number on the bedside. After dialing, a servant came in soon after. At three o'clock at night, the manor was brightly lit.
Gu Miao was so dizzy with fever that she didn't know who was there. It felt like there were so many people around the bed.
The only thing she could recognize was the figure sitting beside her bed, watching over her.
It's Gu Xu.
She opened her eyes a slit and could only see a blurry outline.
He was holding her hand so that the doctor could give her an injection.
A slight tingling sensation came from the back of her hand. Gu Miao subconsciously retracted her hand and was held firmly in his hand.
"Don't move, dear, the needle will slip."
"Go to sleep, brother is here."
His tone was so gentle, and if you listened closely, you could tell that it was a little different from when he was in the car.
There was a hint of paranoid morbidity before, but everything he showed was just an illusion.

Now it's more like putting a child to sleep.
Fortunately, the pain disappeared in an instant. Gu Miao did not struggle anymore and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The night was long and lonely, and Gu Xu stayed by the bed alone, maintaining the same movement, waiting until the sky turned white and her fever subsided before leaving the room.
Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to leave.
There was an uninvited guest downstairs, who appeared at this time, such a disappointing person... who else could it be besides Jiang Qingshi.
Gu Xu stood on the stairs and looked down condescendingly. Looking at the people behind him, he smiled and said, "What do you mean by bringing so many people here so early in the morning?"
Looking up following the voice, Jiang Qingshi's eyebrows were cold, "You kidnapped my fiancée."
"Is that so?" Gu Xu took off his glasses, squinted his eyes and recalled carefully: "Sorry Qingshi, I don't seem to have such a person here."
"As a friend, I suggest you choose to call the police at this time. This is a very bad criminal case."
"Do you need me to call you sir?"
"Where's Gu Miaoren?" Jiang Qingshi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Aren't you looking for your fiancée? What does it have to do with our family?"
"Or is it that the fiancée you are referring to is Miaomiao?"
"You held an engagement ceremony without my knowledge?"
"You were engaged before?"
Gu Xu asked several questions in succession.
Of course there were none of these, Gu Xu just wanted to step on his wound severely.
"Or are you going to tell Sir that if I, as a brother, take someone over to stay with my sister for one night because I want to connect with my sister, it can be classified as kidnapping?"
As he talked, he felt ridiculous, smiled and shook his head, advising his friend, "Qingshi, if you have this time, you might as well go and have a look at your brain."
"Or when Ah Huai recovers from his injuries and comes back from abroad, I will help you go to his specialist clinic."
On weekdays, Gu Xu's appearance, wearing glasses, is not aggressive, but gentle and gentlemanly.
And when he took off his glasses, it was as if the seal had been lifted. No matter in words or fists, he must be above Jiang Qingshi, the Buddhist disciple in the Beijing circle.
No one knows how to hit people where they hurt better than he does.
Especially for Jiang Qingshi.
Fortunately, his words were not painful to Jiang Qingshi, even childish.
He doesn't like to show off his quick words.
"The marriage between the Jiang and Gu families is a sure thing."
"Where is he? Should I search for him myself, or should you hand him over?"
"Whatever." Gu Xu made an invitation gesture to the fake fiancé, "I don't mind appearing on the social news tomorrow morning with you."
As he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket buzzed.
"Sorry, I'll take a call first."
Gu Xu glanced at the notes, and the sporadic smile in his eyes froze for a moment.
Then, he smiled and turned the screen to Jiang Qingshi, "Look, another mysterious fiancé called."
