Chapter 264 Come down, your husband will swim with you.

"Weiwei, don't make me angry."

Bai Yu's voice was deep. He grabbed her two small hands with one large hand and lifted them up, with an undeniable sense of pressure.

His warm breath hit her face, and he was about to kiss her lips.

Sheng Weiwei suddenly turned her head and dodged.

His lips brushed against her cheek, burning hot.

"Bai Yu, let me go." Her voice was as cold as ice.

"I won't allow you to get a marriage certificate with Gu Chuan." His fingers tightened around his chin, increasing the pressure. "If you don't obey, I'll consider tying you up and torturing you for three days and three nights."

His expression was extremely serious, his dark eyes unfathomable, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Sheng Weiwei was forced to look him in the eye, and her eyes instantly reddened.

That's just how domineering and self-righteous he is.

That's why he could deceive her so brazenly and manipulate her at will.

He thought that by pretending to be Bai Yu, he could replace Zhan Xiao and make her erase all feelings for Zhan Xiao.

He had no idea what Zhan Xiao meant to her; otherwise, why would she have given birth to his posthumous child?

If he had even a shred of pity for her, he wouldn't have let her suffer so much, experiencing the pain of separation by death.

It's been a year; he has had many opportunities to be honest with her.

But he never says it!

"Bai Yu, do you really understand what love is?" She looked at him clearly, each word distinct. "If you don't want us to become enemies, you'd better leave immediately."

"Tell me, why? What are you angry about?" Bai Yu knew she was upset, but he couldn't understand her feelings. "Where did I go wrong? I'll change, okay?"

He softened his tone, almost pleading.

But this appearance only made her feel ironic.

"Get out, I don't want to see you right now." Sheng Weiwei turned her face away again, forcing back her tears.

Bai Yu's tall body stiffened for a moment, but he eventually stood up.

He looked down at her, his shadow completely enveloping her.

"You get some rest, I'll go somewhere with you tomorrow."

He wanted to tell her a story, a story about Zhan Xiao and Bai Yu.

He didn't want to see her wavering between Zhan Xiao and him anymore; he knew she was hurting inside.

"I'm not going anywhere." She said, her back to him, her voice cold and hard.

Bai Yu gave her a deep look, then turned to leave.

Just then, his gaze was drawn to a painting on the easel.

It was a single portrait.

The person in the painting is him.

The painting was so lifelike that it even captured the subtle tenderness in his eyes.

His eyes lit up instantly, and a warm feeling welled up in his chest.

Suddenly, a hand reached out, as fast as lightning.

The hand forcefully ripped the painting off the easel.

"Sizzle—"

A piercing tearing sound rang out.

He watched helplessly as she tore the painting to shreds right in front of him.

Her face was filled with an unyielding resolve.

Bai Yu's heart felt as if it had been torn apart by the sound of the painting being ripped apart.

He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

His brows furrowed deeply, and his voice was terrifyingly low, "Sheng Weiwei, do you really have to do this?"

"Bai Yu, the game is over."

Her voice was devoid of any warmth, as if it had been chilled to the bone.

"It's best if we don't see each other again."

With a flick of her wrist, the torn pieces of drawing paper fluttered down.

White paper scraps drifted between them, like a silent funeral, burying their dead love.

no way.

Bai Yu's muscles were taut all over, his jawline clenched tightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress some earth-shattering rage.

In the end, he said nothing.

Not a single word.

He turned around and strode away.

The balcony door was closed, isolating everything.

Sheng Weiwei felt all her strength drain away instantly and collapsed onto the bed.

Tears could no longer be held back and fell in large drops.

She would never forgive him until he admitted to being Zhan Xiao.

Just then, a loud "waa" sound came from downstairs.

She wiped away her tears and ran downstairs without thinking.

...

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Sheng Weiwei packed her luggage early in the morning and went to Ningcheng with Gu Chuan.

Firstly, she wanted to relax, and secondly, she was genuinely going to work; the Sheng family had invested a lot of money in this amusement park project.

In the refrigerator, she had prepared enough breast milk for four days for her baby, all neatly frozen.

She'll only be gone for a few days, she'll be back soon.

Bai Yu was completely unaware of all of this.

The top floor of Shengchuang Financial Building.

The atmosphere in the CEO's office was frighteningly tense; no one dared to speak loudly.

Bai Yu sat behind his desk, exuding an aura of coldness that kept strangers at bay.

The assistant stood to the side reporting the itinerary, his voice trembling, afraid that a single wrong word would detonate this bomb.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Jiang Ting carefully walked in, carrying a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Bai, your coffee."

She put down the cup and turned to slip away.

"stop."

Bai Yu's voice lacked warmth.

Jiang Ting's back stiffened instantly.

"The night before last, someone called me." Bai Yu raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife across her face. "You answered it?"

Jiang Ting's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure.

"Yes, Mr. Bai. You and Mr. Jing had both had too much to drink at the time, and I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I answered the phone for you."

Why didn't you tell me?

His voice wasn't loud, but the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Jiang Ting forced herself to remain calm and explained, "The other party claimed to be your creditor, but it sounded like a prank call to me. I was afraid it was harassment, so I... blocked and deleted the number."

Bai Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, an expression more chilling than anger.

"When did it become your responsibility to handle my calls?"

Jiang Ting's color drained instantly, and her lips trembled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, I... I will restore your data immediately and apologize to that lady in person."

"No need."

Bai Yu leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Starting tomorrow, you will be working in the logistics department."

"Train for a month, and come back when you've reflected enough."

"Don't even think about getting Jing Sheng to plead for you. You can resign yourself." Bai Yu knew she went to Jing Sheng's room that night, but since they were both playboys, he pretended not to know.

However, she overstepped her authority by handling Sheng Weiwei's phone call, and he had to teach her a lesson.

Jiang Ting was completely stunned, but she still nodded immediately.

"Okay... okay, thank you, Mr. Bai. I will reflect on my actions."

Jiang Ting dared not let President Jing handle such a trivial matter for her, so she quickly nodded and ran out of the office.

It seems that the woman who called was indeed no ordinary person.

Bai Yu turned his head and looked at Assistant Yang, who was almost petrified beside him.

"When will that project with Sheng's Group start?"

Assistant Yang snapped to attention, quickly flipped open the memo, and replied earnestly, "President Bai, the science museum project that we co-invested in with Sheng's has been officially approved."

"Hmm, go make some noise."

Bai Yu's fingertips stopped.

"Have their people come over here and personally coordinate with me."

"yes."

"I want Sheng Weiwei here."

"Okay." Assistant Yang didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went to make a phone call.

A short while later, there was another knock on the office door.

Assistant Yang's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "President Bai, the Sheng Group has replied that... Miss Sheng went to Ningcheng on a business trip. Could you have Director Lu personally handle the situation?"

The office was deathly silent.

Bai Yu's gaze darkened. "Do we have any projects in Ningcheng?"

Assistant Yang quickly replied, "Yes! There are three, all of them are very high-quality projects. They have already reached the third round of financing and are just waiting for your final decision."

Bai Yu abruptly threw down the fountain pen in his hand.

The pen tip drew a glaring black mark on the document.

"Then let's go and investigate."

Assistant Yang was stunned: "Huh? Mr. Bai, you mean...we should go now?"

Bai Yu gave him a cold glance. "Otherwise what?"

"Yes! I'll arrange a car right away!" Assistant Yang scrambled out of the car.

In the huge office, only Bai Yu remained.

He walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and his eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

She went to Ningcheng? And even spent time alone with Gu Chuan?

Dream on.

But he wouldn't agree!

...

The nights in Ningcheng are quiet and gentle.

Sheng Weiwei and Gu Chuan walked side by side on the tree-lined path of their alma mater, the dim streetlights casting long shadows of the two of them.

The air is filled with the scent of youth.

Her mood was surprisingly calm.

"Weiwei." Gu Chuan suddenly stopped, his eyes deep as he stared intently at her.

"Can you stay in Ningcheng?" He finally mustered up the courage to ask.

Sheng Weiwei looked up at him.

The moonlight fell on his sharply defined face, still showing the clean-cut boy I remembered.

She said softly, "The child is in Haicheng, and I may... not be able to stay in Ningcheng."

"Then I'll go to Haicheng with you."

Gu Chuan took a step forward, his tone urgent and sincere, "As long as you're willing to be with me, no matter how far away, I'm willing to accompany you."

Sheng Weiwei felt as if something had gently bumped into her heart.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, "Gu Chuan, actually..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Vroom." A piercing engine roar shattered the tranquility of the campus.

A striking white sports car braked suddenly and came to a smooth stop in front of them.

The car door opened, and a woman wearing a bright red halter-neck mini dress stepped out. She had long, curly hair, exquisite makeup, and a hot figure.

"Achuan, surprise!"

The woman, wearing high heels, ran towards Gu Chuan with a smile, opened her arms and hugged him, then stood on tiptoe and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Gu Chuan's body instantly stiffened into a wooden block.

"Yang Xue, why are you back?" His voice was full of surprise.

Yang Xue clung to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and acting coquettishly.

"Didn't you say you'd come pick me up after a month at home? You didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. I missed you, so I flew back on my own."

Gu Chuan's expression changed several times, and he quickly pulled her off him.

He turned to Sheng Weiwei in a flustered manner, unsure of what to do with his hands. "Weiwei, this is Yang Xue."

“I am his girlfriend, and we have been living together for two years.”

Yang Xue immediately took Gu Chuan's arm, pressed her body tightly against him, and smiled sweetly and boldly, taking the initiative to declare her ownership.

Sheng Weiwei's smile remained unchanged. "Hello, I'm Sheng Weiwei."

"Hello." Yang Xue looked her up and down, her gaze scrutinizing.

Gu Chuan opened his mouth, eager to explain, "Weiwei, I..."

“You guys are busy,” Sheng Weiwei interrupted him, her tone indifferent, “I’m going back first.”

"I'll take you!" Gu Chuan immediately called out to her.

"No."

Sheng Weiwei waved to him, her smile polite yet distant, "I know the way."

She turned and left.

Despite being an extremely open and honest relationship, I feel inexplicably embarrassed at this moment.

It turns out that once youth is over, it can never be returned to.

At the same time.

Bai Yu leaned back on the sofa, his slender fingers swiping across his phone screen.

On the screen was a live broadcast of the farce that had taken place on campus.

Watching the woman's resolute departure, a pleased smile slowly curved his handsome face.

Gu Chuan, that hypocritical dog, actually dares to play the double-dealing game.

Fortunately, he had arranged for his "real girlfriend" to be brought back from abroad beforehand.

She liked one, so he would tear it apart.

He wanted to see who she would end up marrying!

...

The night in Haicheng is still bustling with neon lights.

Fu Beichen drove the car up to the top of the mountain and parked it in front of a villa.

He led her inside, past the entrance hall, to a huge, heated swimming pool filled with steam.

Gu Xingnian was taken aback.

"Is this the mysterious place that Mr. Fu mentioned?"

Fu Beichen nodded, slightly raised his chin, and pointed with his slender finger towards a dark figure in the pool.

"There's another little friend there."

Gu Xingnian looked closely and realized that the slowly swimming outline was actually a small shark!

She shuddered, her scream caught in her throat, and instinctively threw herself into his arms.

Fu Beichen took the opportunity to hug her tightly, his warm chest pressed against her back.

"Niannian, don't be afraid, look at me."

She refused, burying her head in his chest, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, it can't hurt you." Fu Beichen's voice carried a comforting power.

He gave me a look.

Two muscular men immediately went into the water and together lifted the small shark, which was over three meters long, and brought it to them.

Fu Beichen gently lifted her face, making her look directly at him.

His eyes were serious and focused.

"Come on, touch it."

"Don't be afraid, it's not scary at all, it's cute."

He took her hand and led her to the water's edge.

Gu Xingnian didn't dare to look at the shark at all.

He took her hand and, without giving her a chance to refuse, gently guided her fingertips across the wet, cool back of the fish.

Gu Xingnian's heart trembled violently; the sensation was strange and terrifying.

Fu Beichen looked at her pale face and spoke each word clearly.

"Niannian, listen, your husband is here. It won't dare to hurt you. Don't be afraid of it."

Gu Xingnian looked at him, completely bewildered as to why he had brought her here and forced her to do such a thing.

The next second, Fu Beichen suddenly let go of her and jumped into the water.

Water splashed everywhere.

He emerged from the water, his black hair soaked, water droplets sliding down his sharply defined cheeks, and he reached out a hand to her.

"Come on, get down, your husband will swim with you."

Gu Xingnian shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, I don't want to swim!"

Fu Beichen held her cold hand, his gaze so earnest that she couldn't escape.

"You must have the skills to protect yourself."

"You may not like it, but you can no longer be afraid of water. You must get through this."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resounding.

"Come down, baby, don't be afraid."

That's right, Fu Beichen was personally breaking down the fear in her heart.

That deep sea and that shark from four years ago remain a haunting shadow for her.

"I won't let go. Come on, try." Fu Beichen held her hand tightly, conveying his strength.

Finally, she mustered her courage and walked down the steps one by one, disappearing into the water.

The water, kept at a constant temperature, instantly enveloped her.

He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly around the waist.

"Okay, baby, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gu Xingnian instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and slowly got used to the feeling of being in the water.

She hasn't gone into the water for four whole years.

"very good."

He kissed her cheek as a reward, then carried her and slowly walked towards the deep water. Then, without warning, he slowly let go of her.

"Fu Beichen!"

Gu Xingnian came to his senses, but he had already retreated several steps away, and the familiar sense of fear swept over him again.

Suddenly, she saw Fu Beichen's body sink downwards, as if he had been pulled down by some enormous force.

"Fu Beichen!"

Her heart tightened suddenly, and all her fear vanished in that instant. Without thinking, she swam towards him and plunged into the water.

Visibility was somewhat blurred in the water.

She saw him holding the little shark, the two of them entangled in the water, more like playing.

Gu Xingnian reached out to pull him.

He grabbed her hand and guided it to gently touch the little shark's body.

The little shark was very docile, swishing its tail without any malice.

Seeing that she was less resistant, he put his arm around her waist, exerted force, and pulled her out of the water.

"Fu Beichen, it doesn't bite." She leaned against him and said excitedly.

Fu Beichen reached out and gently wiped the water droplets from her cheek with his fingertips.

"Yes, so it won't hurt you; it's more timid than you."

He stepped back a few paces, stopped a short distance away, and then opened his arms to her.

"Come on, swim over here."

Wearing a white dress, Gu Xingnian swam gracefully towards him in the water like a mermaid breaking free from her restraints.

Fu Beichen gently pulled her into his arms and praised her in a tender yet proud tone.

"Honey, you're amazing."

"Are you still afraid of water now?"

Gu Xingnian shook her head, a bright smile blooming on her face.

Fu Beichen lowered his head, captured her lips, and swallowed all her words.

The two kissed passionately, reluctant to part.

He pinned her against the pool wall, his burning body pressed against her, giving her an ultimate experience.

...

Finally, he pulled her, who was completely exhausted, from the water, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her to the VIP stargazing room.

It was a completely transparent glass room. Lying on the soft, large bed, you could see the dazzling stars in the sky when you looked up.

He covered her body, leaving one mark of love after another on her snow-white skin.

Time and time again, they sent her to the top.

...

She looked at the slightly swaying starry sky above her, her eyes glistening with tears. Perhaps this was what happiness looked like for her and him!
