Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C41
Shen Xingyue’s eyes widened as she stared at Gu Luocheng. She could tell that he was angry. Had he misunderstood her relationship with Gu Chen Yang? But didn’t he have no feelings for her? How could he be angry about this?
“Alright, I understand, Professor Gu.” Looking at the resolute yet unfamiliar look in his eyes, the guesses in his mind gradually faded away. He was just randomly thinking about it, how could he like himself?
Her deep eyes stared fixedly at Shen Xingyue. Why did she appear here, and why was she with Gu Chen Yang? What was their relationship now?
“The school’s design competition has already begun, I’ve been very busy during this period of time. If you don’t plan on coming back to help me, please inform me as soon as possible, I’ll look for someone else.” His tone was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
He was stunned for a moment and slowly raised his head. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Chenyang took a step forward, “Then Big Brother, please invite someone else. During this period of time, Xingyue still needs to prepare for our wedding.” His hand naturally rested on Shen Xingyue’s shoulder as he took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace.
He wanted to break free from Gu Chen Yang’s restraints, but there was nothing he could do. He could only raise his head in panic, stare at Gu Luo Cheng with wide eyes, and shake his head with all his might.
Looking at the two in front of him, Gu Luocheng smiled and nodded. “Then congratulations to the two of you. Since you have matters to attend to, you can take your leave first.” He no longer looked at Shen Xingyue and calmly greeted Gu Chenyang. He resolutely turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.
He used all his strength to break free from Gu Chen Yang’s restraints and chased after Gu Luo Cheng, but he was still a step too late. His car had already traveled quite a distance.
He squatted on the ground and hugged himself powerlessly, “Gu Luocheng, why didn’t you listen to my explanation?” Tears came out of her eyes as she hugged herself tightly and whispered.
“Alright, Xingyue, stop it. Let’s go home.” Gu Chen Yang looked at the dejected figure squatting on the ground and felt his heart ache. He unconsciously frowned, then walked forward and gently embraced her. He pulled her small body into his embrace and comforted her in a low voice.
He let Gu Chen Yang help him into the car, the tears on his face had already become wet. As he watched the scene outside the window, that resolute figure kept appearing in his mind, causing his heart to ache.
“Why did you say that on purpose?” Her soft, husky voice broke the silence in the car as she thought back to what had just happened. Disappointment flashed across his eyes, which was stabbing at her heart.
His body paused for a second before he smiled, “I’m sorry, I just said what I wanted to say.” He cast a sidelong glance at Shen Xingyue, who was beside him, and a resolute look flashed across his eyes.
“We’re not suitable for each other. Don’t come looking for me in the future.” Her voice was small but firm.
“Xingyue, do you like my big brother?” He looked at Shen Xingyue and changed the topic.
His resolute gaze suddenly turned sorrowful. He slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Chen Yang, “You wanted to ask about it a long time ago, didn’t you? “Yes, I like him. I liked him a long time ago.”
“But so what? It’s impossible for us to be together, and it’s also impossible for us to be the same as you. ” He retracted his gaze and looked into the distance. His voice became erratic.
He did not expect Shen Xingyue to reply him so decisively. The hand holding the steering wheel instantly gained a bit of strength, “Why?”
He smiled and shook his head, because all of you were members of the Gu family, and because he didn’t want to have anything to do with the Gu family and the Shen family, because Gu Luocheng didn’t like him.
Sitting in the car, Meng Chao looked worriedly at Gu Luocheng, who had a darkened face from start to finish, “Big brother, did you and sister-in-law have some kind of misunderstanding?”
The person’s words were completely ignored. His mind was filled with the intimate memories of Shen Xingyue and Gu Chenyang. So she had left him just to find someone else.
Were all the shyness and good feelings from her during this period of time fake? [This woman is so good at acting. She actually fooled me so easily.]
During the period of time she disappeared, he had always been blaming himself. It was because he didn’t care enough about her that he felt it was laughable. His actions had made him seem like a fool.
“Big brother, big brother.” Seeing that Gu Luochen ignored him, he hurriedly called out to him a few times.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Meng Chao and asked, “What’s wrong?” There was no expression on his face, making it seem as if he really wasn’t affected at all.
“Where are we going now?” Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed. He was just like that. He could not hide his joy and sorrow, even if he had to ask again, it would be useless.
He extended his slender finger and pressed onto his throbbing temple. Shaking his head, he looked at Meng Feng with a smile and whispered, “Go to the company.”
He didn’t ask any further as he quietly looked at the car. Meng Feng knew Gu Luocheng too well. The more sad he was, the more he appeared to be ordinary.
Standing at the entrance to the old dwelling, Shen Xingyue took a deep breath and forced out a smile. She walked into the courtyard as if nothing had happened, “Aunt Wang, I’m back.”
After helping to arrange the flowers, Gu Chenyang left early. Shen Xingyue accompanied Aunt Wang to eat dinner as if nothing had happened. After washing the dishes, she quietly returned to her own room.
Sitting on the bed, Shen Xingyue was in a daze. Suddenly, the phone beside her vibrated, bringing her back to her senses.
“Xingyue, what happened with you and Gu Luocheng again?” After Meng Feng sent Gu Luocheng to the company, he told Fang Qian about how he found Shen Xingyue and told him about the situation they saw today.
With a bitter smile, he took the pillow ring and placed it on his chest. After a long silence, he slowly said, “I don’t know what to say. Forget it, let’s do it this way.”
“What do you mean that’s all? You know, he didn’t even go to the company these few days to look for you. He didn’t even think about his food and drinks and lost a lot of weight. Xingyue, he really cares about you.” Fang Qian advised patiently.
“A few days ago, you disappeared. He panicked and took me everywhere to find you. There was even someone who threatened him and told him to give me a million. He even went to pay.”
“Threatening him? “What’s going on?” Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she heard that something was wrong. Fang Qian’s words slowly made her feel that something was wrong. She hadn’t thought that Gu Luocheng would act like this.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again, “Let me ask you something first. What is your relationship with Gu Chen Yang right now?”
“It’s alright, why would you ask?”
“But how did he know where you were? I also heard that he went to your place to pick you up. Are you two really okay? ” He carefully probed.
He smiled helplessly and said, “How could I be related to him? He passed by here all this time and greeted me when he saw me. During this time, he often came to visit me …”
