Chapter 2395: Chapter 199: If You Don’t Cherish Me

The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.

Tang Zhixian’s handsome face changed several times as his eyes fixed firmly on Tang Jinchen.

He had just promised Gu Zhitong at the hospital that after this meal, he would stop bothering her.

Tang Zhixian had to suppress his anger, controlling himself not to stand up and push Tang Jinchen away.

“Tang Jinchen…”

Gu Zhitong’s breath caught.

The slightly upturned little face looked at Tang Jinchen in front of her, his handsome features as if carved out, breathing in the masculine scent that stirred the heart.

The man extended his well-defined hand, dominantly but not rudely unwrapping the scarf from her neck, temporarily placing it on the back of her chair.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his warm, rough fingertip touched her sensitive, tender skin.

Causing Gu Zhitong’s heart to quiver.

An indescribable touch spread from the skin on her neck.

She instinctively reached out to grab Tang Jinchen’s hand, “It’s warm in here, no need for a scarf.”

The man’s eyes softened with a trace of tender smile, looking at her affectionately, he gently said, “Alright, we’ll wrap it back on when we head outside later.”

Suddenly, a blush appeared on Gu Zhitong’s face.

Her heart held a faint shyness, a bit of joy.

She wasn’t quite sure of this feeling.

But, seeing Tang Jinchen again and looking at the warm smile in his eyes, she suddenly felt touched.

Feeling warmth.

The small hand that was holding his big hand let go, she pretended to smile lightly, “Have you had dinner? If not, join us.”

Regardless of whether Tang Zhixian sitting opposite was willing to have Tang Jinchen join them.

After saying this, Gu Zhitong glanced at Tang Zhixian, catching the unhidden loss and hurt in his eyes, she asked his opinion, “You already know each other, right? It won’t matter having another person, right?”

“As long as you’re happy.”

Tang Zhixian managed to smile a little.

Despite feeling like someone had stabbed him with a knife.

Compared to his lonely desolation, Tang Jinchen, full of spirit, sat next to Gu Zhitong, turned to her with a burning gaze, “Tongtong, do you have to work night shifts tonight?”

“Tongtong, I’ve suddenly changed my mind.”

Tang Zhixian suddenly interrupted, not looking at Tang Jinchen’s changing handsome face, but only at Gu Zhitong, saying, “I’ll cover your shift tonight, you take him to eat elsewhere. I fear I won’t be able to eat if I see you being lovey-dovey.”

Tang Jinchen looked at Tang Zhixian a little surprised.

Seemingly not expecting him to be so kind-hearted.

But his actions were faster than his mind, pulling Gu Zhitong up, “Tongtong, let’s go to another restaurant, my treat.”

Gu Zhitong was suddenly pulled up by him.

Her heart raced in confusion.

She looked at Tang Zhixian, but before she could speak, Tang Jinchen had already pulled her from her seat and was striding towards the door.

Once outside the restaurant, the man’s scarf was immediately wrapped around her neck, not stopping there, Tang Jinchen also attempted to take off his coat for her.

“Don’t take it off, I won’t wear your clothes.”

Gu Zhitong frowned slightly, displeased.

Tang Jinchen chuckled, “Alright, I won’t take it off.”

As he spoke, he held her hand in his palm, “What do you want to eat?”

Gu Zhitong lowered her head, her gaze sweeping over his big hand holding hers.

His palm was very warm.

Being held like this, the warmth spread from her palm straight to her heart, turning her whole being warm.

Gu Zhitong raised her little face, coincidentally meeting Tang Jinchen’s deep eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Lightly licking her lips she said, “Tang Jinchen, don’t treat me so well. What if I get used to it?”

Tang Jinchen’s face was startled.

His deep eyes quickly filled with a layer of joy, joyously said, “I’m not a flash in the pan, you can confidently get used to my kindness to you.”

The warmth in Gu Zhitong’s heart due to his words intensified by a degree.

Her brows and eyes were tinged with the color of spring.

Even at night, it was tenderly bright and delightful.

“You said it.”

She deliberately acted serious, “If one day you get tired of me and stop treating me well, I won’t leave quietly.”

“What would you do?”

Tang Jinchen amusedly raised an eyebrow.

Unable to hide the affection in his tone.

Gu Zhitong raised an eyebrow too, humming lightly, “I’m a doctor, if you chase me and then don’t treasure me, I’ll make you wish you’d never been born.”

Tang Jinchen wasn’t scared at all.

Instead, he smiled happily, after gazing at her for a moment, he suddenly leaned over and stole a kiss on her cheek, confidently stating, “Tongtong, that day will never come.”

“You’re being a rascal.”

Gu Zhitong reacted only after being secretly kissed, feigning anger.

Tang Jinchen laughed pleasantly, the grip on her hand slightly increased, “On days without seeing you, I missed you every day, longing to have the right to tease you.”

Gu Zhitong rolled her eyes at him.

Suddenly realized, she couldn’t win in a verbal argument with him.

Since she couldn’t win, she stopped speaking.

Pointing ahead toward the street, she said, “I want to eat barbecue, let’s go have barbecue.”

Inheriting her father Gu Kai’s traits, Gu Zhitong was also someone who, as long as the food was good, regardless of whether it was a high-end restaurant or a street stall, she didn’t care.

“Alright.”

Tang Jinchen nodded with a smile.

Though he wasn’t raised in G City.

But he just stayed in G City for a few days not long ago, familiarly leading Gu Zhitong to her favorite barbecue restaurant.

As he familiarly greeted the boss and skillfully ordered the dishes Gu Zhitong liked, Gu Zhitong’s heart couldn’t help but show the surprise on her delicate face.

“Have you been here before?”

The question was a bit foolish.

Gu Zhitong asked, then frowned.

If he hadn’t been here, how could he be familiar, not only knowing the boss but being close?

“I came a few times during my business trip.”

“This barbecue shop is my favorite, the few dishes you just ordered are also my must-haves every time.”

Gu Zhitong stared fixedly at him.

Waiting for him to clarify.

“I know.”

Tang Jinchen looked into her eyes full of smiles.

Ever since she returned from Imperial City last time, he couldn’t control missing her every day.

Even though he called her daily, sent messages, sometimes video chatted, it didn’t resolve his longing.

Now being by her side, looking at her, his heart felt full and happy.

He raised his hand, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingertip gently sliding across her earlobe skin, softly said, “I specifically did some homework, knowing you like the barbecue here, just now on the way to the hospital I called the boss, asking him to save some of your favorite food for me so they wouldn’t sell out.”

Gu Zhitong felt touched again.

Looking at his handsome brows, she softly questioned, “Didn’t you say you were busy these days? How do you have time to come to G City?”

“Ah Zhan is back, so I have time to see you tonight, I’ll head back tomorrow morning.”
