Chapter 86 My First Date with Gu Jinxing (Part 1)
Shen Wancheng chatted casually with Gu Jinxing for a while longer.
The topics ranged from the economic situation in Hong Kong Island to the stock market and business prospects.
It touches on various industries, although none of them are explored in depth.
But it was enough to shock Gu Jinxing with Shen Wancheng's knowledge and insights.
Who would have thought that a girl from an inland rural area, not even twenty years old, could know so much?
Moreover, Gu Jinxing had already met Shen Wancheng back in mainland China.
Gu Jinxing's eyes were indeed injured; he wasn't blind, but he couldn't see clearly.
His impression of Shen Wancheng, apart from that night being particularly different, was that she was a somewhat timid and introverted girl.
When Gu Jinxing met Shen Wancheng in Hong Kong, he felt that she was different from his impression.
However, Gu Jinxing only thought that Shen Wancheng was forced by the Shen family to rebel and came to Hong Kong Island, and that her experiences along the way changed her personality.
In addition, the current Shen Wancheng is more in line with the impression that Shen Wancheng left on Gu Jinxing on the night they had sex.
Therefore, Gu Jinxing had not noticed anything particularly unusual about Shen Wancheng before.
But today, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing discussed so many things that Gu Jinxing couldn't help but find it strange.
Is this Shen Wancheng really the same Shen Wancheng he met in the inland countryside?
Shen Wancheng was well aware that the information she revealed today would arouse Gu Jinxing's suspicions.
But Shen Wancheng felt that what she was about to do would soon let Gu Jinxing know that she understood these things.
Rather than letting Gu Jinxing speculate wildly, she'd better expose him herself.
By proactively revealing her secrets, she can appear more sincere.
Shen Wancheng asked Gu Jinxing.
"Do you think it's strange that I know these things?"
Gu Jinxing composed himself and nodded.
Shen Wancheng said with a smile.
"I learned all of this myself by reading books after I came to Hong Kong Island?"
Even the composed Gu Jinxing, like Xu Pingtao before him, had eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
"So many things, and the various languages you spoke at the banquet before, were all things you learned after coming to Hong Kong Island?"
Shen Wancheng nodded.
"That night... um."
Shen Wancheng paused for a moment, then changed to a more tactful yet clear way of expressing herself.
"On the night we conceived, I was hit hard on the head. I was actually dizzy on the road for who knows how long before I finally found you. At the time, I didn't feel any changes, but I found that my mind had become clear the next day."
"Later, when I arrived in Hong Kong Island, I learned everything from books and was able to learn it all very quickly."
Gu Jinxing frowned and stared intently at Shen Wancheng.
He looked incredulous, yet the person in front of him seemed so real that he had no choice but to believe it.
Shen Wancheng sat opposite Gu Jinxing, letting Gu Jinxing look her over.
Shen Wancheng did not do this on a whim, but after careful consideration.
Firstly, Shen Wancheng had enough confidence in her judgment of people. She felt that although Gu Jinxing was a businessman, he was not someone who would do anything without any bottom line.
Secondly, given Xu Pingtao's reaction to this matter, Shen Wancheng judged that Gu Jinxing's reaction should be similar to Xu Pingtao's.
Thirdly, Shen Wancheng's increased intelligence did not hinder Gu Jinxing in any way, and the current Shen Wancheng is more in line with the kind of wife Gu Jinxing wanted.
Whether locking Shen Wancheng up to study this matter will ultimately bring profit is uncertain. Even if Gu Jinxing has no feelings for Shen Wancheng and no moral bottom line, and is only after profit, this is not a good choice.
Therefore, after revealing his secret to Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng revealed it to Gu Jinxing again.
As Shen Wancheng expected, Gu Jinxing soon returned to his usual cold yet somewhat gentle expression when facing Shen Wancheng.
"So, you became smarter after hitting your head that night, even gaining a photographic memory?"
Shen Wancheng nodded.
Gu Jinxing smiled faintly, "I'm lucky I didn't get stupid. It proves the old Chinese saying, 'Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined.'"
Shen Wancheng rested her elbows on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at Gu Jinxing with a relaxed demeanor.
She deliberately asked, trying to probe.
"You never thought of locking me up in a lab for research, did you?"
Gu Jinxing was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"What should I study? How can I become smarter? Do I seem like someone who lacks self-confidence?"
Shen Wancheng smiled too.
"I knew you were confident, but I didn't expect you to be this confident, to even have the nerve to say it out loud."
Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
"Now I know."
Shen Wancheng was still staring at Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing has sharp eyebrows and eyes, deep-set eyes, and a straight nose, giving him a strong and rugged appearance.
In addition, his cold and aloof demeanor, coupled with the fact that he is always accompanied by bodyguards in suits, gives people the feeling that he is unapproachable and very cold.
However, after spending several time together, Shen Wancheng did not find Gu Jinxing to be taciturn; on the contrary, he was quite talkative.
Shen Wancheng asked whatever came to mind.
"Do you usually talk this much? I used to think you were a quiet person."
"Not much, just that I talk to you more."
"Oh."
Shen Wancheng gave a faint "Oh".
The corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards slightly, without her even noticing.
Shen Wancheng naturally ate dinner with Gu Jinxing as well.
They continued to dine at this club.
At 4:30 pm, Cheng Ming knocked on the door and came in to ask Gu Jinxing about the dinner arrangements.
Gu Jinxing asked Cheng Ming to give Shen Wancheng the menu prepared in advance by the nutritionist so that Shen Wancheng could order the food.
Shen Wancheng had already purchased the expertise of a maternal and infant specialist, and could tell at a glance that this recipe was specially prepared for pregnant women by a nutritionist.
Shen Wancheng ordered two dishes first: corn and chicken wings stew and tofu with egg in tomato sauce.
She then gave the recipe to Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing said he wasn't picky about food and told Shen Wancheng to continue ordering what she liked.
Shen Wancheng then ordered sweet and sour pork with pineapple, mushroom and beef stew, and black chicken and fish maw soup.
Shen Wancheng actually knew that Gu Jinxing would let her order the food according to her own preferences, and she didn't necessarily have to be polite and courteous to Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng simply felt that a person's upbringing and manners were more important than their appearance.
Maintaining one's basic moral character is a way of taking responsibility for oneself and loving oneself, and has nothing to do with one's attitude towards others.
Of course, if a person's behavior or attitude harms them, their personal conduct should not become a burden; they should still take action when necessary.
After having dinner with Gu Jinxing, Shen Wancheng said goodbye and went home.
Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng rode in the same car, and Gu Jinxing took Shen Wancheng to her residence in Central.
They also had many wooden gift boxes taken off the vehicle.
Before Shen Wancheng could speak, Gu Jinxing spoke first.
"These are things you can use now, and nourishing supplements that you can eat during pregnancy."
"Bird's nest, fish maw, sea cucumber, and some wild mushrooms."
Shen Wancheng didn't refuse. The child in her belly also belonged to Gu Jinxing, so it was only right for Gu Jinxing to care about her health.
The real problem is if Gu Jinxing does nothing.
Shen Wancheng had the things delivered upstairs and casually asked Gu Jinxing.
"Who told you to send these things? You seem to know a lot."
It's important to know that there are many tonics that pregnant women shouldn't consume, but the things Gu Jinxing gave her were all safe for pregnant women to eat.
Gu Jinxing clearly did his homework before sending these things.
Gu Jinxing said.
“No one asked me to send them. I wanted to send them myself. I’ve checked all of these; they’re all nourishing supplements that you can eat right now.”
