Chapter 414 No One Believes Me

"There is nothing personal between her and me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanling suddenly raised his eyes, his chest rising and falling slightly due to emotional fluctuations.

"No personal matters?" She laughed sarcastically, "Never mind. This is Mr. Gu's business. I don't want to know, and I shouldn't know. Please let me go."

She tried to pull her hand back again, but Gu Zhou suddenly pulled her wrist forward!

Her body lost balance instantly and she fell forward uncontrollably, crashing into his arms and being firmly locked by his iron-like arms.

He was still in shock, but his shame and anger were spreading like a raging fire.

Wang Yuanling raised her eyelashes angrily and glared at him.

There was no time to condemn him.

I saw a playful arc on his lips.

Wang Yuanling choked and then became even angrier. How could he still have the nerve to laugh?

"why are you laughing?"

Her voice trembled slightly with extreme anger, and every word seemed to burst out from between her teeth.

"Laughing at you." Gu Zhou paused deliberately, his eyes sweeping aggressively over her tightly pursed lips and her chest that rose and fell slightly due to her heavy breathing: "Are you jealous?"

Wang Yuanling felt a ringing in his ears.

She hurriedly pushed away his hand that was supporting her.

Finally standing up straight, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Boss Gu, you must have burned your brain from eating porridge, you are talking nonsense!"

She has always been gentle and soft.

Even the words he spoke were gentle.

Except for being drunk.

This is the first time.

When he was sober, his words were sharp.

Gu Zhou raised the corners of his lips, his eyes dark and deep: "You have never spoken to me like this before. Your reaction now is very abnormal."

Wang Yuanling fell silent.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he forced himself to recover as before: "Mr. Gu, I think we need to talk it out."

Gu Zhou took a step forward, closing the distance between them in an instant.

The pair of smiling eyes lowered and stared at her: "Then tell me."

The moment he leaned over.

A silent feeling of oppression came over me.

Wang Yuanling instinctively raised his heels and tried to step back.

But because of face.

She forced herself to hold back her anger and said righteously, "Boss Gu, I hope that our relationship is just a pure partnership. Although I'm very sorry, I have already rejected your confession. Please don't say such ambiguous words again in the future."

However.

Her words had no deterrent effect on Gu Zhou at all.

A low sneer escaped from his throat: "You refused." His eyes were burning, and every word he said clearly hit her heart: "But I didn't give up."

Wang Yuanling's pupils flickered.

She subconsciously wanted to retort, to rebuke him for his roguery and entanglement, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make short and weak inhalations.

Gu Zhou's eyes were too direct, too determined, and filled with something both familiar and unfamiliar to her... It was a determination to get what she wanted, and it was also an undisguised exploration, as if to completely tear apart the calm appearance she tried so hard to maintain.

"Ask yourself, do you really have no feelings for me at all?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suspicion.

Wang Yuanling swallowed lightly and said dryly, "No."

Gu Zhou raised his lips, his eyes like black holes that could captivate people's souls.

As soon as they met, he forcibly drew some of her attention away.

He spoke each word with a playful smile: "I don't believe it."

Wang Yuanling's breath caught in his throat. "If Mr. Gu doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

I felt like he was getting too close.

She placed her palm on his shoulder, trying to push him away.

But the moment it touched the high-quality fabric of his shirt, he covered it.

She was stunned.

Trying to withdraw your hand.

But failed.

The warmth from his large palm spread directly onto the back of her hand.

The heat made half of her arm numb.

Gu Zhou leaned over slightly, until his eyes were almost at her level. He smiled casually and said in a magnetic voice, "Yuan Ling."

The endearing name sent a chill down her spine.

Gu Zhou's eyes were dark. "You clearly have feelings for me, but you rejected my confession. I understand your reasons, but I won't give up. I will pursue you slowly until you agree. I have plenty of patience. But I didn't tell you the truth about Fei Jiayi. I was wrong, but my relationship with her is not what you think."

Wang Yuanling's eyelashes froze slightly.

Meeting his deep gaze, my heartbeat almost slowed down.

She suppressed her undue excitement and said, "Boss Gu, these are two different things. My rejection of you and your deception are fundamentally different. I think that given our relationship, there should be no more deception. After all, we are partners."

Gu Zhou said in a deep voice, "She is looking for you, and she has probably lied to you."

Wang Yuanling's watery eyes flashed through her thoughts, and she said directly: "She said she has a close relationship with you. I think this can't be a lie, right?"

Gu Zhou's eyes suddenly turned cold: "This is a lie." His voice was not loud, but it had an unquestionable penetrating power, and every word was like an icicle hitting the ground.

Wang Yuanling's eyebrows moved slightly, she had doubts before.

However, Gu Zhou's "magnanimous" attitude towards Fei Jiayi was like a thick fog, preventing her from seeing the truth and even shaking her judgment.

Too confusing.

She was so confused that she didn't know how to analyze the matter.

She probed: "Is it a lie to say I'm close to you?"

She saw Gu Zhou's jawline suddenly tense, his thin lips pressed into a cold and hard straight line, and his Adam's apple rolled suppressedly.

He seemed to be trying hard to suppress something, with complex emotions surging in the depths of his eyes - there was anger of being offended, there was anxiety to clarify, and there was a hint of...unspeakable pain?

"She's my brother's ex-girlfriend." Gu Zhou's voice sank, carrying a heavy sense of oppression, as if uncovering an old scar: "How could she be close to me?"

He seemed to be about to blurt out something.

Wang Yuanling's heart couldn't help but beat fast and he felt nervous.

"If she was my brother's ex-girlfriend, then why did she hug you at noon? And why did she tell me that she and you were close?"

Gu Zhou took a deep breath, and his deep eyes locked onto her, as if he wanted to suck her in, and as if he was confirming whether she was really ready to listen.

He finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, with a strange penetrating power that pierced Wang Yuanling's heart. "Her intentions in approaching my brother weren't pure. As you saw her hugging me at noon... it was because, after she discovered I was the first heir to the Gu family, she repeatedly and deliberately approached me, plotting to have sex with me and get caught in an affair, in order to 'confirm' the false love between us that never existed."

He revealed the unbearable truth so frankly.

Instead, Wang Yuanling was stunned for a moment, and the huge amount of information impacted her inherent cognition.

"Since she hurt you so much... have you ever thought about making her pay the price?"

This was what she couldn't wait to know.

Why didn't Gu Zhou pursue her?

What was the reason? Was it personal feelings? Sympathy? Or... lingering feelings?

A very light, self-deprecating laugh emanated from Gu Zhou's throat.

He raised the corners of his lips, revealing a deep irony: "Sometimes, people are only willing to believe the one-sided view they see. As for the truth, no one cares."

Wang Yuanling seemed to see the him who was unable to defend himself and was not believed back then.

It was completely different from the high-spirited and calm Gu Zhou she had in mind.

Especially conflicting.

His eyes suddenly darkened, as if sinking into an icy deep sea. "Since that's the case, I might as well use this incident to make my brother completely give up and stay away from this vicious woman. If I don't pursue the matter, this 'scandal' will be confirmed. My brother...will no longer harbor any illusions about her, and he won't be deceived or exploited by her, falling into deeper traps and suffering."

He paused, his voice filled with an almost cruel calmness: "Compared to my innocence, it is more important for him to see her true face and give up completely."

The air seemed to freeze.

Wang Yuanling stared at him blankly, digesting the heavy, bloody meaning of sacrifice in his words.
