C8 Remembering the Romance of Madrid

As soon as they entered the room, Gu Chen received them and led them to a VIP box that Jane had never entered before. Gu Chen simply glanced at her and ordered a few dishes, then passed the menu to her.

The menu was almost entirely in Spanish. Strangely, Gu Chen did not care whether or not Jane knew this small language, even though Jane did. She had studied it in Spain when she was in university.

Jane also ordered a few dishes from Gu Chen. The Spanish dishes were a little unique. She had always known when to stop and when to stop.

He had noticed her thoughts, of course, but he did not say a word. He poured her a glass of red wine, and when she first saw him shaking the fiery liquid in his high school cup, the tranquil light in the box became more solemn and reserved against the light of his black suit. His eyes, however, were filled with curiosity as he lowered his head and asked her, "This is your first time seeing me at the Sisel Hotel?"

He seemed to be asking carelessly, but his gaze was fixed on her, not letting go of the expression on her face.

Jane shook her head honestly. "No."

"Oh?" Gu Chen seemed to be very interested, and his voice seemed to be more emotional along with his good mood. He gestured for Jian Chen to continue.

"I was studying design at the University of California, Spain. Mr. Gu had a lecture at our school."

Jane had thought of him only a few days after that night. She had thought he looked familiar because the magazines were full of his face, but one night she had suddenly thought of the scream of a crazy woman from college. It was all because of his arrival, and the memories seemed distant and beautiful under the pressure of the present, and she had really not thought about them for a long time.

However, Gu Chen was not satisfied with his answer. His face darkened, making it difficult for Jane to understand his thoughts. She then heard Gu Chen ask, "Then you don't mind telling this old friend of yours about your studies in Spain?"

Jane was silent for a moment. She picked up her goblet and sipped her wine. She didn't correct his words. Her eyes blurred as if she had remembered something that she hadn't remembered for a long time.

"When I first arrived in Madrid, my wallet and ID card were stolen the moment I arrived. How embarrassing …"

"Later on, when you get to know me better, I'm not timid. I go shopping with my friends for snacks. My favorite food is cheese and ham."

"At that time, I loved to go to the San Miguel Market, where I met many different people, with different skin and eyes, and once when I was drunk, I seemed to have flirted with a handsome Chinese guy, but I couldn't remember. My roommate said that I had always hugged him and wanted him as my boyfriend …"

As she spoke, she sipped some red wine. Turning around, she saw Gu Chen looking at her with a pair of eyes as bright and resplendent as the sea. She paused for a moment before her gaze blurred, "Your eyes, it seems like I've seen them somewhere before …"

Before she could finish her sentence, several handsome handsome foreign men entered the dining hall. Gu Chen lowered his eyes and saw that she had already been drawn away by the familiar dishes on the table.

Jane hadn't thought that such a restaurant would have cheese and ham, that kind of market snack, and she was sure it hadn't appeared on the menu, but she hadn't really tasted it, she hadn't tasted it for a long time, and when she went to school, it was the happiest period she had ever had, and it was slowly coming alive in the course of eating, and whenever she felt bitter, she would take a sip of red wine, as if she could only remember the beautiful and forgotten worries of the day.

Gu Chen just stared at her quietly, looking at her crying and smiling, not looking too good at eating. Gu Chen just stared at her quietly, looking at her crying and laughing, not looking very good at eating.

She ate and drank too much. Gu Chen saw that she was a little dizzy, so he held his head. His body swayed a little, but his mouth was still muttering. He called a waiter over to pay for the food.

When he came back, Jane was already sitting up in her seat, looking straight at him as if she were wide awake. He went over to her and tried to give her a hand, but she politely and gently took his arm and stood up, and then quietly broke away from his embrace and took a few easy steps in her high heels. She nodded at him and turned back into the young lady of Jane's house.

She walked very steadily, like a little princess who had just grown up to become a queen. Gu Chen gave up on helping her, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.

However, after a few steps, Jane was frozen on the spot, and her expression gradually turned stiff.

The man and woman walked over together. The woman held onto the man's arm and leaned on his shoulder affectionately. "Big Brother Rei-dong. I've reserved this place several times. It took me a lot of effort to get it."

It was Jane Elegant and Li Dong.

When they saw Jane, they both had different expressions on their faces.

Li Dong's facial features were very delicate, his smiling appearance was bright and handsome, his brows furrowed at this moment. He walked up a few steps and held onto Jian Chen's arm, "Little Chu, why didn't you pick up the phone when I called you?"

Jane looked up at him, and her almond eyes, which had drunk some of the wine and pinkie, rippled a little. She pulled away from him, grabbed her hand, turned to look at him, and slipped her arm around his.

Glimmers danced in Gu Chen's eyes. He lowered his head and pulled her closer. Lowering his eyes, he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Little Chu." The frown on Li Dong's face deepened as he stubbornly pulled apart Jane and Gu Chen's hands. His gaze was as if it was filled with emotion as usual.

She turned her head to look at him, but he saw that she was calling out to him in a sweet voice, "Sister, why are you here?" Without waiting for her reply, she quickly shifted her attention to Gu Chen, who was by her side and said, "Mr. Gu, I didn't expect to see you here. Do you still remember?"

She had always been a pampered girl, even if she wasn't Jane's daughter, but the daughter her stepmother had brought with her could not stand the pain of being a child. When Jane had been exposed as a bastard between her mother and another man, all the winds in the family had been for this equally unrelated daughter.

Gu Chen's expression was cold, but he still politely nodded his head in greeting. "Hello."

He smiled slightly. Under the astonished and hostile gaze of Jing You and Li Dong, he put his arm around Jane's waist.

Li Dong's usually smiling lips pursed. He glanced at Jane's waist and immediately moved his hand away. "Little Chu, your mother …"
