Chapter 75 Countdown to Getting the Marriage Certificate—Little White Rabbit

Gu Jingcheng glanced at Bai Wanwan coldly.

And her little white box that looked so light and flimsy.

"Just put the box in the trunk."

"Brother Jingcheng, could you help me with this? The box is a bit heavy."

The coldness in Gu Jingcheng's eyes intensified.

Without saying a word, he deftly unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

He went around to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and reached directly to lift the box.

The weight it contained was ridiculously light.

"Thank you, Brother Jingcheng."

The trunk lid slammed shut, and Gu Jingcheng got into the driver's seat.

Bai Wanwan's smile froze for a moment. She jogged around to the passenger side and reached out to open the car door.

"Sit in the back."

Bai Wanwan's hand, which was about to pull the car door open, froze in mid-air, revealing a hint of grievance.

"Jingcheng... have you forgotten? I get dizzy sitting in the back."

Gu Jingcheng glanced at her sideways.

"You can sit on a plane for more than 10 hours without getting dizzy, but you get dizzy after sitting in a car for 20 minutes?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Either sit in the back or take a taxi yourself."

Bai Wanwan's face flushed red and then turned pale. She bit her lip, reluctantly opened the back door, and got in.

The only sound inside the carriage was the roar of the engine.

Bai Wanwan secretly dug her nails into her palm.

"Jingcheng, are you free tomorrow at noon?"

My mom specially prepared a lot of your favorite dishes and told me that I must invite you home for a simple meal.

My dad also said he hasn't seen you in a long time and wants to talk to you...

Gu Jingcheng kept his gaze steadily fixed on the road ahead.

"I have something to do tomorrow. It's inconvenient."

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the Bai family villa.

Bai Wanwan's face was pale, and she clutched the hem of her skirt, still unwilling to give up.

"Jingcheng, would you like to come up for a bit? My parents probably haven't gone to sleep yet."

Gu Jingcheng glanced at the villa. "The lights are all off, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Bai Wanwan, I only agreed to pick you up today because of your sister."

I hope you won't have any other thoughts about me.

Because of my sister?

Bai Wanwan got out of the car, looking dejected, and watched the black Rolls-Royce disappear into the night.

A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

She never believed in fate before, but now she feels that everything is predestined.

She suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that she had never truly possessed anything.

He never saw himself in his eyes.

But clearly, she has the exact same face as her sister.

Like her sister, she was there for him during his lowest point.

Why can my sister do it, but she can't?

Bai Wanwan's gaze suddenly sharpened, her face turned sinister, and a suppressed hatred lingered in her eyes.

If Lin Wei hadn't appeared, how could her Jingcheng brother have been so cold to her!

It's all because of her!

-

A black Rolls-Royce cruised through the neon lights of Jiangcheng.

The long-forgotten memory flashed uncontrollably through Gu Jingcheng's mind.

In that cold and cramped room.

He was tied to a dilapidated wooden chair for three days and three nights...

An overwhelming fear swept over his body.

His hands on the steering wheel trembled slightly.

His gaze happened to fall on the platinum wedding ring on his hand.

He turned the car around and drove towards Lin Wei's villa.

Lin Wei had just finished showering and was wearing a blue silk slip dress.

The drape of the silk subtly accentuates the curves of the chest, while the loose hem adds to the overall effect.

It covered her slender, fair calves.

Summer is hot,

She took a glass of iced cola from the refrigerator.

I took a sip through the straw.

A cool sensation slid down from my throat to my chest.

Lin Wei shuddered, and her mood improved considerably.

I was planning tomorrow's itinerary in my head.

I got my marriage certificate with Gu Jingcheng in the morning, and then went to pick up my mother from the hospital.

The flight departs at 2 PM for Ancheng.

The Ancheng Chip and Semiconductor Industry Summit officially began at 3:30 PM.

At 7 p.m., some industry leaders hosted a dinner party.

Tomorrow's schedule is packed.

Having been traumatized by the last drinking party, Lin Wei made a special trip to prepare cephalosporin.

Eat it before the meal starts to avoid being forced to drink.

A black Rolls-Royce was parked quietly at the gate of Linwei Villa.

The car window was rolled down halfway, and a cool night breeze drifted into the cabin.

Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on the window with the light on.

The fear and unease in my chest gradually subsided.

He leaned back in his chair and loosened his tie.

His tightly pursed lips and hard, angular jawline were clearly visible.

His eyes were brimming with anticipation.

Tomorrow, he will have a new home, a home that belongs only to them.

Gu Jingcheng picked up his phone from the center console, hovered his fingertip over the screen for a moment, and tapped the pinned name.

Delete and modify.

Are you asleep?

"I'm getting ready for bed, what's wrong?"

Gu Jingcheng's brow twitched slightly.

"Don't go to sleep yet."

Immediately afterwards, he made a voice call to Lin Wei.

"Um?"

Lin Wei's soft, sweet voice came through the receiver, and Gu Jingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Tomorrow...what time are you getting up tomorrow?"

Lin Wei frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through her mind.

Didn't we agree that I'd pick you up at 9 o'clock?

Could it be that he's spending tonight with Bai Wanwan...?

Lin Wei gritted her teeth, a pang of jealousy rising in her heart.

"Mr. Gu, if you don't have time to pick me up tomorrow, I can drive to the Civil Affairs Bureau myself."

You...you don't need to feel guilty.

These words carried a hint of sourness, and Gu Jingcheng forced a smile.

This woman has a good imagination.

The gloom in my heart was swept away.

Why should I feel guilty? Are you... jealous?

"I...no, is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Lin Wei took a big gulp of cola in a huff, which made her cough.

"Open the door!"

"Um?"

"Open the door, I'm downstairs at your place."

Gu Jingcheng's deep voice came through the receiver.

Lin Wei's fingers tightened around her phone, and her heart skipped a beat.

Is he downstairs?

Shouldn't he...should be with Bai Wanwan?

A long-awaited reunion, like dry wood meeting a raging fire...

"you……"

Lin Wei wanted to ask, "Where is Bai Wanwan?"

But I also felt that asking that question would make me seem jealous.

After a few seconds of silence, she responded.

"……knew."

Lin Wei threw off the covers and stepped barefoot onto the cold floor, forgetting to put on slippers.

The faint sound of her bare feet on the floor echoed in the empty living room.

The closer Lin Wei got to the gate, the more uncontrollably her heart pounded.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

A cool night breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers from the courtyard, wafted in.

The moonlight shone on the steps in front of the door, outlining a tall and slender figure.

Gu Jingcheng stood there in a suit and tie, with two buttons undone at the collar, making him appear less cold and sharp.

It adds a sense of realism.

Their eyes met.

Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on her, his eyes darkening.

The woman in front of me was only wearing a thin blue nightgown.

It outlines her graceful figure.

Her fair and slender arms were exposed, glowing white.

Her chest was covered with soft, undulating waves.

Soft and chewy, like a cute and tempting little white rabbit.

"you……"

Lin Wei blurted it out as if possessed.

"Mr. Gu, it's so late... don't you need to keep Miss Bai company?"
