Chapter 47 Limited

It seemed like a long time had passed before Han finally sorted out his thoughts and slowly explained to Gu Ningwei: "Boss Gu, Jiang Jin and I are a thing of the past. There is no possibility now or in the future."

She said calmly: "The reason why I don't want others to know that he and I had this past is because we respect each other."

Gu Ningwei looked at her with deep eyes as she continued calmly, "Jiang Jin is about to marry your sister. Under such circumstances, he doesn't want anyone to know about our past relationship. Besides, your sister cares a lot about him, so Jiang Jin probably doesn't want to hurt her." She smiled again, "What about you? You don't want to hurt her either, so even if you know the truth, you won't reveal it."

Gu Ningwei shrugged. "This kind of truth isn't important. If Gu Ningli were willing to use her brain, she wouldn't believe it. A man who's almost thirty has never been in a relationship. Tsk."

He sneered.

Han didn't say anything. She didn't believe that Gu Ningli was as stupid as he said.

When a woman loves a man deeply and doesn't want to lose him, of course the best choice is to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Gu Ningli may not be unaware of this, but she is just selectively pretending not to know.

"What about you? Are you so afraid that I'll know about your relationship?" Gu Ningwei asked again, "In my impression, you've always been efficient and capable, not so conflicted. Or are you still obsessed with him?"

Han rolled his eyes at him and told him the truth: "I'm not entangled, I'm just afraid of trouble. Why should I let you know about my past and remind you of how much of a failure I am?"

Even though the world is small, if she had a choice, she would avoid people who have hurt her in the past.

"Why don't you think about it the other way around? When you're with me, you remind him all the time how successful you are now?" Gu Ningwei said with a smile.

"Success?" Han stared at him.

"Of course." Gu Ningwei continued with a smile, "If he can find my sister, you can find me. I'm much richer than my sister, and I'm the heir to the family business. The entire Chengguang Group will belong to me in the future. Even if Jiang Jin is the son-in-law of the Gu family, he's still an outsider. The Gu family will never trust an outsider."

After saying that, Gu Ningwei asked her, "Don't you think you are more successful than Jiang Jin?"

Han shook his head.

"Why?" Gu Ningwei's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Don't you really want to be rich and famous?"

Han still shook his head.

"Oh?" Gu Ningwei was very interested. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You're not saying that what you want is love, are you?"

Han Que also laughed: "It seems that Mr. Gu also reads romance novels."

Gu Ningwei chuckled, "I don't need to read romance novels to know what girls want most, but what I can give you..." He pursed his lips slightly and sighed, "Maybe only money."

Han's heartbeat gradually accelerated as she looked at him.

After going through so many twists and turns, a deal is still inevitable.

Han pondered for a moment, then decided to get straight to the point: "Boss Gu wants to support me?"

Gu Ningwei was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and stared at her deeply. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

The two were silent.

Han said: "You have already said that all you can give me is money."

"Do you think I offended you?" Gu Ningwei asked.

Han shook his head. "No, I have no right to say you're offending me. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen into the hands of those people like Niu and Ma. The offense and insult I suffered would be much more serious than this. But you just said you liked me, and now all you can give me is money."

She sneered.

Women are always unwilling to face the truth.

Gu Ningwei sighed: "Han Que, I know my words are hurtful, but I really said the truth."

He sighed, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and continued: "I won't marry you, nor will I make any promises to you. I think even if I tell you, you won't believe it."

"Yes, I won't believe it." Han said softly.

"Actually, I'm just a small favor, not enough to ask you to pledge yourself to me. I'm only telling you this because I like you very much and want to be with you."

He paused, then continued, "Let me say it again. I also want to follow the normal process, pursuing you, treating you to meals, watching movies, giving you gifts, and going on dates to cultivate feelings, just like when Lu Xiaoping pursued you, spending half a year or a year, but I can't, because I don't have much time left."

Han looked up at him in surprise: "You..."

She looked at Gu Ningwei. He looked normal and in a normal mental state.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't have a terminal illness." Gu Ningwei smiled at her gaze, but quickly withdrew his smile and said in a low voice, "I will get married in about half a year. You probably don't want to get involved with a married man."

Han was surprised again: "Marry? With He Lian?"

Gu Ningwei nodded, "Yes. It should be He Lian."

He shrugged nonchalantly.

"Are you still doing blind and arranged marriages now?" Han couldn't help but sneer.

"Miss, the life of a rich person isn't as free as you think. We also have to do many things that we have to do." Gu Ningwei rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Let's get back to the point. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean I'll be your companion until you marry Miss He, and we'll break up after you get married? Is that what you mean?"

"Maybe we won't get married yet. As long as we announce our engagement, we may have to break up." Gu Ningwei pondered.

"That's only three months?" Han said softly.

"That's about right." Gu Ningwei seemed to sigh and shrugged helplessly: "Who told you it was such an unfortunate thing."

"Yeah. I understand." Han nodded.

"Are you willing?" Gu Ningwei asked tentatively.

Han nodded.

Gu Ningwei was stunned for a moment, seeming a little unconvinced, but the next second, he reached out and held Han Que's hand on the table.

She is as soft as boneless, fair and delicate, but there are some calluses on the palms.

Gu Ningwei lifted her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it.

The wet and hot touch, transmitted from the palms to the heart, makes one's knees weak.

Han sighed, smiled, turned her head and stared out the window. The midday sun was bright and a little dazzling. She closed her eyes and endured for a while before she held back the tears in her eyes.

After a moment, she adjusted her mindset and said to Gu Ningwei with a smile, "After being your girlfriend for three months, how can I still compare myself to Jiang Jin? He's your son-in-law, and I'm just your concubine. Mr. Gu, your definition of success is truly unique."

Gu Ningwei also smiled. This time he leaned over and kissed her cheek, then raised his eyes and spoke gently, "No, you're wrong. It's precisely because time is limited that we leave an indelible impression. You will always exist in my memory. Isn't this much more successful than him?"

A week later, the company's OA system issued a personnel transfer notice, and Han Que, a former sales staff member, was seconded to the chairman's office.

As soon as this secondment notice came out, it was like an official announcement, letting everyone in the company know that the so-called rumors were not just rumors, but facts.

Han Que, the young and beautiful woman who was secretly envied by all the women in the company, was indeed noticed by Gu Ningwei.

"Is she your official girlfriend or just an underground lover?" Gu Ningli tapped the screen of her mobile phone with her fingers, looking up at Jiang Jin with a look of disdain.

Jiang Jin was silent for a while. He ruffled Gu Ningli's hair and shrugged. "The transfer order only said I was transferred to the chairman's office, but it didn't mention my girlfriend. What are you worrying about?"

"Humph, I'm just speaking up for Sister He Lian. Gu Ningwei is so brazen." Gu Ningli gritted her teeth, "He's such a scumbag."

Jiang Jin was not familiar with He Lian, and he didn't like her, probably because He Lian's gaze was too aggressive, as sharp as a sword, able to pierce through his well-disguised layers of clothing.

He also overheard He Lian once say to Gu Ningli: "You have to be careful about your boyfriend. He looks a lot like those men I met outside."

That night was the first time Gu Ningli took him to a friend's party and brought him into her circle of friends.

As the hostess of the party, He Lian wore a silver sequined dress and held a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne. She walked back and forth by the swimming pool, swaying gracefully like a mermaid who had just come out of the sea.

Gu Ningli was very unhappy and retorted with a red face: "When has Jiang Jin ever been like the men you know? He has a legitimate job. The men you know are all gangsters, male models, third-rate actors, and none of them have ever been to school."

"But they are essentially the same. They all want something from us." He Lian smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and walked away in high heels. Gu Ningli behind her was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

At that time, Gu Ningli and Jiang Jin were in the passionate period of love, and they were very disgusted with He Lian's words, but for some reason, their attitude has changed drastically now.

Jiang Jin was angry, but he just chuckled and teased, "I haven't seen you and her that close, how come you suddenly become so close, calling her Sister He Lian all the time? Do you really think Gu Ningwei will marry her and she will be your sister-in-law in the future?"

Gu Ningli raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Why? No?"

Seeing Jiang Jin's eyes still showing obvious disbelief, she added, "You don't understand Gu Ningwei at all. He may play around sometimes, but he knows best what he wants, and he's not the type to act on emotion."

After a pause, she sighed softly again, "He is different from me."

Jiang Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, he hesitated, patted Gu Ningli's shoulder, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Are you an emotional person?"

Gu Ningli nodded.

Jiang Jin pursed his lips slightly and smiled, "Then you feel that being with me is unfair to you, a young lady. If you really feel wronged, it's not impossible to break up. It will save me from the reputation of being a gigolo."

Gu Ningli suddenly looked up at him. "Jiang Jin, what do you mean by that? I just sighed, and you're so sensitive. Did I ever say you were a gigolo? Or was it my dad, our Gu family, who said you were a gigolo?"

Jiang Jin glanced at her and said indifferently, "Do I need anyone to tell me this? I'm a gigolo to begin with. Even if I don't tell everyone, everyone in the world knows it."
