Chapter 46 Shouldn't have come

Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on Shi Yanzhou's bowl of porridge.

It felt like a thorn was stuck in my heart.

"The matter is settled, and Nuonuo is clamoring to come."

"Since Mr. Lin has someone to take care of him, I'll be leaving now."

Gu Jingcheng took Gu Yinuo's hand and started to leave.

Gu Yinuo, with her sharp eyes, dodged away.

She threw herself into Lin Wei's arms.

"Uncle, I haven't seen Weiwei in so long, please let me stay a little longer."

She shook Lin Wei's slender arm, looking aggrieved.

Lin Wei gently rubbed Gu Yinuo's fluffy hair.

Gently coax.

"Nono, be good. Come back with your uncle first. This is a hospital. Children shouldn't stay here too long."

Gu Yinuo pouted, "No, I just got here."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the apples in the fruit basket.

His eyes shone brightly.

"Weiwei, would you like an apple?"

"This apple is so red and big, it must be very sweet."

Lin Wei affectionately pinched his chubby cheeks.

"Does Nono want to eat an apple?"

With a smile on his lips, Shi Yanzhou naturally put down his porridge bowl and picked up an apple to patiently peel it.

Gu Jingcheng sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Wei.

His gaze fell on Lin Wei's face, the light in his dark eyes sparse and fragmented.

He didn't speak.

Time seemed to stand still.

Until his phone rang.

Gu Jingcheng adjusted his posture, didn't look at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button.

The sweet, delicate female voice came through the receiver without stopping and reached Lin Wei's ears.

She didn't want to hear it at first, but, inexplicably...

He listened more attentively than anyone else.

She didn't even notice when Shi Yanzhou offered her an apple.

"Jingcheng, have you returned to China? I'm sorry about what happened last night. I shouldn't have done that."

"Please forgive me."

The soft, intermittent sobs reached Lin Wei's ears.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened.

This is Gu Jingcheng; even on a business trip, he manages to have a wonderful romantic encounter.

He was used to women throwing themselves at him, so that night he lost control and pried open her lips.

They remained silent afterward, as if nothing had happened.

Did he also see her as the kind of woman who offered herself up, eager for a night of pleasure with him?

It's not surprising that he would think that way.

Gu Jingcheng, a man standing at the top of the pyramid, surrounded by admirers.

I'm used to women throwing themselves at me.

She was just a minor, insignificant incident.

Lin Wei snapped out of her daze, opened her mouth, and ate the small slice of apple that Shi Yanzhou had handed her.

My mouth feels sour and astringent.

The intimate actions of the two were reflected in Gu Jingcheng's eyes.

His fingers clenched tightly, his eyes darkened, he hung up the phone, and tried to calm himself down.

She got up and picked up Gu Yinuo, who was still eating half an apple.

He left the ward without looking back.

He shouldn't have come today at all.

Shi Yanzhou silently put down the apple, looking at Lin Wei's distraught appearance.

His heart ached; he had seen Weiwei like this before.

That was the expression she would only show after arguing with Gu Xuan.

At that time, Lin Wei's heart and eyes were completely filled with Gu Xuan, and she couldn't tolerate any other man.

He waited silently by her side, and finally, she managed to extricate herself from that deeply entangled relationship.

He thought he had a chance.

But now...

"Weiwei, do you like Gu Jingcheng?"

Lin Wei was taken aback and did not answer.

His gaze fell on the pristine white sheets.

Does she like Gu Jingcheng?

How could that be? She was just... using him as a tool on her path to revenge.

How can people possibly like tools?

Besides, so what if I like it?

She will never again be the kind of person who is dependent on others for love.

She doesn't need to like this meaningless feeling.

People change, feelings change.

The white moonlight will turn into mosquito blood.

Even the most intense feelings, in the end, can be stabbed into the heart without hesitation.

Wasn't the tragic end in your previous life enough?

How could she dare to fall in love with a man again in this life?

"Brother Yanzhou, I'm a little tired and want to be alone for a while."

Shi Yanzhou paused in peeling the fruit.

He put down the fruit knife, his voice gentle.

"Okay, I'll come see you again in a bit."

With that, he took the food box, left the ward, and gently closed the door.

It was as if by some strange twist of fate; even he himself hadn't figured it out.

Why did he ask Lin Wei that question?

Lin Wei stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged.

She took a rare few days off from company affairs and enjoyed a break.

I've thought about it a lot.

Gu Jingcheng did not contact her again.

Gu Yinuo, however, called her several times using her smartwatch.

In a childish voice, she asked her if she was ready.

The day I was discharged from the hospital.

Gu Xuan stood at the hospital entrance, watching Lin Wei put her luggage in the car.

My heart softened.

She seems to have really changed.

I used to be inseparable from him, wishing I could be with him 24/7.

She would call his name softly and give him the best of everything.

Now, they are like strangers, and he can even be alone in the hospital.

His resilience surprised him.

During the three years of their relationship, Lin Wei wasn't entirely without merit.

She loved him, indulged him, and made him the center of her world.

Look closely, she has a very gentle and beautiful appearance.

Gu Xuan was somewhat dazed.

"slight."

Lin Wei looked up and saw Gu Xuan with a fake expression, and felt a surge of disgust.

What are you doing here?

Gu Xuan handed the roses to Lin Wei.

"Weiwei, why didn't you tell me you were hospitalized? I could have come to see you."

"Your aunt and uncle aren't home, let me take you back."

He then reached to open Lin Wei's car door.

Lin Wei acted first, pressing down on the car door.

Hatred surged in his eyes.

"No, we're over."

A fleeting, barely perceptible look of melancholy crossed Gu Xuan's face.

"Weiwei, I know you're still angry with me." Gu Xuan's voice softened deliberately.

Yes, I admit I wronged you before!

But that's all in the past! I only realize now that you...

How important is it to me!

I can't live without you...

Lin Wei sneered. Hasn't Gu Xuan done this kind of kneeling down and admitting his mistakes a few times before?

She used to feel sorry for him when he was like this, and she granted all his requests.

"Get out of here."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes, but remembering his purpose for coming, he suppressed it.

She put on an even more "pitiful" expression.

"Weiwei! I'm begging you! For our past relationship,..."

"Please lend me 5 million, otherwise my mom is going to kick me out."

"Weiwei, I love you so much, how can you bear to watch me be kicked out of the house?"

Gu Xuan pressed his hand against Lin Wei's car door and suddenly knelt down, looking pitiful.

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

"What's going on? Why is that man kneeling down?"

"Did you two have a fight? That girl looks terrible..."

Lin Wei stood in front of Gu Xuan, looking down at him!

The image of my tragic death in my previous life flooded back into my mind once again.

She was six months pregnant, and she grabbed his trouser leg, humbly begging him to spare her and the child in her womb.

He gripped her chin, his eyes filled with mockery and coldness.

Without any mercy, he gripped the dagger and plunged it into her heart.

A sense of exhilarating revenge filled her heart.

Gu Xuan, you've finally met your match!

"Gu Xuan, you want to borrow 5 million?"

Seeing that Lin Wei had relented, Gu Xuan nodded vigorously.

Sure enough, she still had feelings for him.

She was only with her uncle to spite him.

After dating for three years, how could there be no feelings at all?

"Weiwei, please help me one more time. I swear, I will treat you even better in the future."

I'll do whatever you say.

"From now on, let's live a good life together."

As he spoke, he reached out to take Lin Wei's hand.

Lin Wei dodged to the side.

"Okay, it's just 5 million, right? I'll lend it to you."
