12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 1589 Have you ever loved?
Su Jiuyao's heart was pounding and she was extremely nervous.
Although this small space had blinds blocking out the spring light inside, and Gu Hanye had locked the small door leading to here from the greenhouse, the sound insulation was very poor, so Su Jiuyao didn't dare to move or make a sound.
The main reason was that she was not dressed properly at the moment, and it would be very embarrassing if someone really saw her.
Gu Hanye seemed to notice her nervousness and whispered in her ear, "You can't see outside, and the door is locked."
As he spoke, he deliberately moved again.
Su Jiuyao hit him on the shoulder: "Stop it!"
Gu Hanye smiled and said, "You're too timid."
After saying that, Gu Hanye placed his hand on her heart and chuckled, "I can even see your heart beating."
Su Jiuyao immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
Gu Hanye then used that reason to persuade her to relax, saying that it was legal and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"But I feel like what we're doing is completely illegal right now, like I'm having an affair and someone's about to catch me in bed."
Gu Hanye opened his mouth and bit her lips: "Who do you want to have an affair with, huh?"
"How could I possibly mean that?"
"That's a bad analogy."
“…”
Su Jiuyao simply stopped talking to him and continued to hold her breath and listen to the noise outside, hoping that the man would leave quickly.
The footsteps were getting closer, and Su Jiuyao became more nervous. She asked Gu Hanye in a low voice if it was Uncle Qi.
Gu Hanye shook his head and said that Uncle Qi liked to wear casual clothes and casual shoes at home and didn't like to wear leather shoes, so he didn't know who came.
Finally, the footsteps stopped, as if they really didn't notice them.
Immediately afterwards, Su Jiuyao heard a sigh. It came from a man with a familiar voice.
Before she could figure it out, the sound of the greenhouse door opening came again.
Before one leaves, another one comes!
The next person spoke up and said, "You haven't been here for many years. You suddenly came here today. Are you trying to tell her that you are finally free of me?"
When Su Jiuyao heard the voice, she couldn't help but be surprised. She looked at Gu Hanye, only to see that he was also frowning with an unhappy expression.
The person who spoke just now was Chen Xiaofeng. As for the person who came just now, you know without asking that he is Gu Hanye’s father, Gu Changhai.
Now Su Jiuyao didn't dare to say anything. If her father-in-law saw this situation, she would be socially dead.
Fortunately, Gu Hanye stopped teasing her. After turning over and leaving, he pulled the blanket over her, then half-hugged her and lay down on the sofa with her.
Su Jiuyao looked up at Gu Hanye. He pursed his lips and his eyes were dark.
Well, he's angry.
It is also easy to understand. This greenhouse is where Han Ye's mother often came when she was alive. It is impossible for Gu Han Ye to be happy when Chen Xiaofeng sets foot here.
However, judging from what Chen Xiaofeng said just now, her relationship with Gu Changhai is not as good as it seems.
Otherwise, the word "get rid of" would not be used.
This surprised Su Jiuyao very much. She always thought that Chen Xiaofeng was the mistress who was promoted to the main wife, and Gu Changhai must like her very much.
At this time, Gu Hanye had no intention of going out to drive Chen Xiaofeng away.
Perhaps, he also wanted to know what the relationship between his father and Chen Xiaofeng was like, and what they would say?
So, she and Gu Hanye hid in the hut and listened quietly.
In the greenhouse outside, after Chen Xiaofeng asked that question, Gu Changhai just raised his eyes, glanced at her lightly, and said nothing.
He seemed to have no desire to talk to her at all, just as he had for the past twenty-five years.
Looking back on the 25 years since she married into the Gu family, what she looked forward to most were various banquets or gatherings with friends, because only in front of outsiders would this man hold her hand, hug her shoulders, smile at her, and call her Xiaofeng or wife.
She stayed with a cold and indifferent man for twenty-five years. Sometimes when she thought about it, she would be moved by herself.
As for the situation today, she had already anticipated it.
When she wanted to kill Gu Hanye, she had already prepared for the worst.
Now, wealth and glory have nothing to do with her anymore. Whether she is willing or not, the matter is a foregone conclusion. Intentional murder is a serious crime and she can't escape.
The outcome was already decided, so she was no longer afraid or panicked.
But she wanted an answer from Gu Changhai.
Over the years, Gu Changhai had not made things difficult for her except for ignoring her, and had even been nice to her.
So Chen Xiaofeng wanted to know whether he felt too guilty towards his ex-wife and so closed his love for her, or whether he had never loved her at all.
Of course, in addition to figuring out this problem, she would also beg him one last time, for the sake of her son Tianqi...
Chen Xiaofeng came in front of Gu Changhai and laughed at himself: "This is the last time we meet, and you don't even want to say a word to me?"
"There's nothing to say."
"But I do!" Chen Xiaofeng was a little excited, but she immediately suppressed her emotions.
Gu Changhai's gaze shifted from the pot of Epiphyllum to Chen Xiaofeng. "The police car is waiting for you outside. If you have anything to say, go talk to the police."
Chen Xiaofeng smiled. What was she going to say to the police? Was she going to ask them, "Have you ever loved me?"
Gu Changhai took the pruning shears and cut off the extra branches that were not conducive to the growth of the plant, and threw the cut branches into the trash can.
Chen Xiaofeng glanced at the discarded branch and stopped laughing: "I came to you for two things."
Gu Changhai didn't say anything and didn't interrupt.
She continued, "Can you please consider that I saved your mother and that I have been a decent servant in the Gu family all these years? Don't take your anger out on Tianqi because of what I did. After all, Tianqi is innocent. He and I are... different."
Gu Changhai nodded: "Tianqi is of course the same as you. He is reckless and has done some bad things, but all of those things combined are no match for your sinisterness."
Chen Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words."
"If you have anything else to say, say it all at once." Gu Changhai reminded coldly.
Chen Xiaofeng took another step forward, staring at his profile, and said, "We've lived together for so many years, and there's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time. Have you ever been attracted to me? Have you ever loved me?"
After she asked this question, she stared straight into Gu Changhai's eyes.
She knew that she was going to murder his own son, and now she was standing in the greenhouse that was the favorite place of the woman he loved deeply. Even if Gu Changhai had loved her before, he would say that he had not.
But I still hold on to a glimmer of hope, wanting to hear a positive answer.
This was her last bit of comfort.
Gu Changhai cut off another branch, sighed, and turned to look at her: "Before, I had no feelings for you, but now, I really don't want to see you again."
Chen Xiaofeng suddenly felt that the air in the greenhouse was extremely thin and she felt a little breathless.
Gu Changhai added: "If you have no other questions, please leave here."
