Chapter 51: Chapter 51 She, Gu Nuan, Definitely Doesn’t Have Such Fate (1)

The elevator doors opened, and Wa’s mother and Lin Yishan entered. As they turned around, they noticed Wa Zicong hadn’t followed.

"Zicong—" Wa’s mother called out.

Wa Zicong, who had been staring out towards the parking lot, turned back and stepped into the elevator.

"What are you dazing about?" Wa’s mother asked unhappily.

It was certainly unpleasant to see her son looking distracted not just once, but twice. With your own mom and fiancée right here, and you keep spacing out, thinking about other things—how could that be acceptable?

Lin Yishan too was eyeing her fiancé.

Wa Zicong pressed the elevator floor button, then turned to the two of them and said, "I thought I saw someone walking past our car, so I was just being cautious."

"What did you say? A car thief?" Wa’s mother immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yishan comforted Wa’s mother, "This is a five-star hotel, such things couldn’t possibly happen here. The security here is professional—hired from the military’s special forces."

Only then did Wa’s mother place a hand over her chest, thinking of her son’s new car, a brand-name, and very expensive one.

Now hearing Lin Yishan’s explanation, Wa’s mother spoke of her son, "Aren’t you familiar with this place?"

"Being extra cautious is never a mistake," Wa Zicong said, leaving the other two without a response.

Who could have walked past their car?

Lin Yishan glanced subtly at her fiancé’s face, searching for a while, but for now, she found no fault.

With an expressionless face, watching the elevator’s display, Wa Zicong’s mind flashed back to the face he thought he had seen in the parking lot.

The fleeting image made him feel like he was dreaming.

No.

It was a dream.

It couldn’t be anything but a dream.

She couldn’t possibly be here.

This place is not accessible to ordinary people.

With her background, her family’s economic condition, dreaming of entering here was pure fantasy.

It appeared he was dreaming—dreaming of one day bringing her here—

Wa Zicong’s lips slowly curved into a half-smile: in the end, this was the life she was destined for, different from his.

Gu Nuan’s fate wasn’t a good one.

Even if she clung onto him, Wa Zicong, with her status as a deaf, it was like climbing to the sky.

Therefore, not seeing her, he could only dream.

In the underground parking garage

Gu Nuan watched the three people get on the elevator, noticing that her former boyfriend paused at the elevator door, which immediately made her alert.

"We’ll go up after they reach their floor. Which floor is it?" Gu Nuan asked.

Zang Xiaolian and she were walking and talking, arriving at the elevator entrance, watching the three previously go up to what might be the hotel’s rooftop revolving restaurant.

"My brother booked a private room on the seventeenth floor," Zang Xiaolian said, "That top one, my second brother always feels it’s a place for bumpkins when they first come to the city."

For someone like Xiao Yebai, a prodigal almost to the point of ruining his family, a revolving restaurant couldn’t be considered anything special. Thus, frequenting there could only be regarded, according to his critical words, as akin to Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but smile hearing this phrase from Zang Xiaolian, whether she used it to make her laugh or not.

Wa’s mother would definitely fit the description of Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. Yet, unexpectantly, both Wa Zicong and Lin Yishan seemed to have a particular fondness for such a place.

"Your second brother, if he believes this place lowers his standards, why does he frequent here to eat?" Gu Nuan asked Zang Xiaolian as she entered the elevator once it opened.
