Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 1071 He is not as calm as he appears
This inexplicable sense of familiarity always gave her the illusion that Li Jinxing would go along with her and not let her get hurt. This feeling came inexplicably and was also very shameful.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Gu Wanqiu wanted to slap herself twice to wake herself up. How could she think that Li Jinxing would not hurt her? Hadn't he hurt her badly enough? Did she have Stockholm syndrome?
If he wasn't a bad person, he wouldn't have targeted Gong Qing and used Gong Qing to threaten her.
She must be crazy to think that Li Jinxing is somewhat human and familiar to her. If she had known such a person before she lost her memory, he would most likely be her enemy.
Gu Wanqiu was confused and couldn't come to her senses for a long time. She didn't come to her senses until she walked out of the hotel. She turned around and looked at the tall building behind her. It seemed as if it was going to fall down and crush her to death in an instant.
Gu Wanqiu didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear of being caught again. The hundred days hadn't even started yet, so she wanted to stay as far away from Li Jinxing as possible.
It was a coincidence that her cell phone rang just as she stepped out of the hotel. Gu Wanqiu shivered in the wind as she stood on the side of the road. She was sweating profusely in such a cold day. Her face was like white paper that had been soaked in water, with a hint of blue-gray. Gu Wanqiu was completely scared. She had finally walked out of the hotel, and she was afraid that the call was from Li Jinxing.
Gu Wanqiu took out her cell phone in fear, but after seeing the caller ID, she still didn't feel relieved because the call was from Gong Qing.
When Gong Qing called, he would inevitably ask her what she was doing, which meant that she was going to lie to him again.
Gu Wanqiu picked up the phone and heard Gong Qing's familiar voice.
"What are you doing? What took you so long to answer the phone?"
For some reason, Gu Wanqiu has developed a fear of answering the phone, because the only people who would call or text her are Li Jinxing and Gong Qing.
No matter who calls her, she will struggle deeply inside. Gu Wanqiu feels guilty towards Gong Qing. This guilt is like a pair of sharp claws biting her heart bit by bit. One day she will not be able to bear it anymore.
"I put it in my bag. I didn't hear it."
"You went out?"
"Um."
"Aren't you still injured? You just recovered from a cold. I told you to rest at home, so why can't you stay?" It was not difficult to hear the dissatisfaction and a bit of resentment in Gong Qing's tone.
"The injuries on my body are all external. It's only because I've recovered from my cold that I want to go out for a walk. I've been cooped up at home for too long, and if I don't go out, I'll get sick."
"Okay, you're right." Gong Qing asked again, "Have you had breakfast?"
“We ate outside.”
"What are you eating?"
Gong Qing pressed the issue step by step, leaving Gu Wanqiu no time to think and lie to him. She blurted out, "Morning tea."
"Morning tea? Is there any around here?" Gong Qing thought about it carefully. The nearby streets are basically full of coffee and fast food, and there are relatively few Chinese breakfasts. Going downstairs for breakfast, they either eat pasta or bread or various hamburgers and pizzas. The taste is okay, but Gu Wanqiu has a Chinese stomach and is very picky about this kind of fast food. It is better to cook some vegetable and lean meat porridge and make some dumplings at home than to eat out.
"I searched online and took a taxi to eat there. The reviews were good and the food was delicious. The shrimp dumplings were very fragrant."
"When I'm free, take me to try it."
It seems to be
Gu Wanqiu was surprised to hear Gong Qing say this. Her eyelashes trembled violently. After a long while, she replied with a "hmm".
"Go back early and don't stay outside for too long. Be careful of danger."
"good."
She was about to hang up, but then something struck her: "Gong Qing, this collaboration is very important to you at work. If you can resolve the problem quickly and make things go smoothly later on, wouldn't you... be happier?"
"Of course, who doesn't like a smooth career and a bright future?" Gong Qing laughed. "Why do you suddenly ask such a strange question?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to wish you good luck with your work."
Gong Qing felt that Gu Wanqiu was a little strange. He didn't know if it was an illusion. In the past two days, he felt that Gu Wanqiu had become much more distant from him, especially when they were on the phone. She was not as enthusiastic as before.
Gong Qing couldn't figure out why. Was he too busy lately and didn't consider her feelings? Or was it because he allowed Gu Wanqiu too much freedom, and after she went out, too many things occupied her heart, and gradually, he seemed less important.
Gong Qing didn't want to think too much. He called to express his concern for Gu Wanqiu. Now that he had finished talking, he had to start work. He told Gu Wanqiu to go back early and then hung up the phone.
The call came in a hurry and was hung up in a hurry, leaving people no time to react.
…
Gu Wanqiu stood by the roadside, staring at the black screen of her phone for a while, then slowly put the phone back into her bag. Suddenly, she touched the back of her neck and felt a chill there. She turned her head and glanced at the hotel behind her, feeling that
She felt like someone was watching her, but maybe it was just an illusion? It was such a high building, and she was still standing under the tree. Even if Li Jinxing was really standing upstairs to watch her, he wouldn't be able to see her very clearly. Moreover, Li Jinxing's attitude towards her was like teasing a dog. Why would he still stand upstairs and watch her after she came down?
However, the gloomy feeling just now made people feel very uncomfortable, so Gu Wanqiu quickly hailed a car and got in.
…
Gu Wanqiu was right. Li Jinxing was indeed standing at the floor-to-ceiling window on the eighth floor looking at her. He had good eyesight and saw her standing on the roadside waiting for a car and watching her answer the phone. He knew without hesitation that the call was from Gong Qing.
The mirror in the hotel is a double-sided mirror made of special material. You can see outside from the inside, but you cannot see inside from the outside. When Gu Wanqiu looked back, Li Jinxing looked over, and their eyes seemed to meet.
He kept looking at Gu Wanqiu, but Gu Wanqiu didn't notice at all. It was not until she hurriedly got into the car that Li Jinxing withdrew his gaze.
The person who falls in love first is the loser, and the one who keeps loving until he can't stop is the loser.
When Gu Wanqiu kept saying the name "Gong Qing" and begged him in various ways for him, his heart couldn't help but ache. After all, people are all made of flesh and blood. He couldn't completely ignore it and could only pretend not to care. After Gu Wanqiu left, Li Jinxing slumped on the sofa, supporting his forehead with his hands. There seemed to be a spring in the area of his temples, jumping up and down.
He had endured for long enough. He had been enduring since Gu Wanqiu took out the knife. Sometimes he really wanted to stab her twice to see what was in her heart.
How can there be such a person, with an innocent face, killing
People are invisible.
Li Jinxing felt like a hornet's nest had been poked in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and let Gu Wanqiu leave with a magnanimous look on his face.
He knew that he couldn't remove Gong Qing from her heart for the time being. Gu Wanqiu and Gong Qing had been together for so many years. Five years was enough for her to get over him. Moreover, she had lost her memory. She didn't know what kind of "brainwashing" Gong Qing would become.
Gong Qing seemed to understand the bigger picture, but in reality, he was keeping Gu Wanqiu locked up at home, like a pet bird. Furthermore, he had educated the proud Gu Wanqiu into this state, kneeling at every turn. Rather than being brainless, it was more accurate to say that he was making Gu Wanqiu wary of everything in the outside world and dependent on him. This must have taken a lot of effort.
Li Jinxing hated Gong Qing. Perhaps his rivals all disliked each other and put the worst things in their hearts on him alone. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like a good person.
Li Jinxing lowered his eyelashes, and his dark eyelashes obscured the expression of his pupils. The tails of his beautiful eyes were stained with a faint red and moisture. The whole person seemed to exist in a hazy mist, becoming unreal.
He called the front desk downstairs again and asked the waiter to bring back the snacks that Gu Wanqiu had just left over.
I don't understand why the leftovers he had already removed the day before yesterday were sent back? Who would eat them?
Li Jinxing doesn't look like someone who wants to eat what others have left over.
The hotel has its own rules. They will deal with the guests' unfinished breakfast in a timely manner to avoid serving it twice.
When the front desk heard that Li Jinxing wanted the leftover snacks, they quickly called the waiter to ask. After confirming that they had not been dealt with, they quickly asked someone to push them up.
.
The refreshments were hardly moved. The waiter tidied up the plates and then knocked on Li Jinxing's door with the food cart.
