Chapter 663 I Will Never Marry Her
Gu Ruchu looked at the man standing by the window. He was no longer wearing the same outfit as before. It was obvious that he had taken special care of himself. He was wearing a slim-fitting suit, a white shirt, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked like a nobleman. If you didn't tell him his age, no one would know that the man in front of him was already in his early forties.
He heard what Old Xu said and turned his head to look at the door. When he saw the girl, his gaze lingered on her for a moment, with a faint light in his eyes.
Ye Mubai turned around again and picked up his phone. Old Xu said awkwardly, "Ms. Gu, the banquet starts at 8:30. You can wait in the hotel first!"
After saying that, he turned and left, deliberately closing the door when he left.
Gu Ruochu stood at the door for a long time, waiting for Ye Mubai to hang up the phone, but it was obvious that the other party was on the phone for a long time. She walked to the sofa next to Gu Chongai and sat on it. The voices of Ye Mubai and Yao Yuan were in her ears.
She felt very ashamed and wanted to get up and leave, but the soles of her feet felt like they were covered with strong glue and she couldn't move at all.
His head was buzzing and he felt very depressed and uncomfortable, as if he had used up a lot of strength. Gu Ruchu suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
"Where are you going?" Ye Mubai suddenly asked. Gu Ruchu turned her head to look at him, her eyes fixed on the phone he held to his ear. She couldn't believe that he was so blatant...
Before the girl could speak, he continued, "There's still half an hour left, you can take a break first!"
After saying that, he motioned her to sit back on the sofa. Gu Ruchu wanted to speak, but she didn't dare. This was her only remaining self-esteem.
She didn't want to hear Ye Mubai's voice, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep. As long as she fell asleep, she wouldn't hear anything. That's what the girl thought!
Ye Mubai was still on the phone when Yao Yuan's crying voice came from the other end: "Mu Bai, are you really going to do this?"
Ye Mubai said with a firm face: "Yes, when I get back, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. You know that these twenty years of marriage are all fake!"
"But you said you would wait until my father left..."
"I don't want to wait any longer, Yao Yuan. We made it clear when we got married that you can do whatever you want outside. Our marriage is just a cover!"
Yao Yuan choked up and said, "I know I was really ignorant when I was young, but now I regret it. Mu Bai, let's just forget about those unpleasant things and live a good life, okay?"
"I have sold the first half of my life to your Yao family. In the next life, I want to live for myself!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He turned and walked to the girl, looking at her sleeping face, and a soft light gradually appeared in his eyes.
Ye Mubai looked at Gu Ruchu carefully, her eyebrows, nose, and mouth, as if he couldn't see enough. Before he reached out to touch the girl's cheek, the girl opened her eyes.
"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye, I'm sorry I fell asleep!"
Ye Mubai looked at her flustered appearance and felt a little nervous.
"Let's wake up and go, the party has begun!"
Gu Ruchu nodded and quickly stood up from the sofa, but she was a little nervous. For a moment, she didn't notice that she was wearing a dress. She accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and tripped and fell towards the coffee table.
When Gu Ruchu thought she was about to be disfigured, a big hand suddenly hugged her tightly around her waist, and then her body made a 180-degree turn. They both fell on the sofa. Gu Ruchu was lying on Ye Mubai's body, and she was so scared that she jumped up.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean it!"
The expression on Ye Mubai's face was always indifferent. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go!"
The girl nodded slightly and followed behind Ye Mubai.
Ye Mubai stopped and looked at the girl behind him: "First time attending a party?"
Gu Ruochu nodded truthfully: "Yes!"
"Do you know what to do?"
The girl shook her head slightly!
Ye Mubai stretched out his hand to her, motioning her to hold his arm. Gu Ruchu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to him. Ye Mubai continued, "If you don't want to talk, just smile and nod!"
At 8:30, the banquet started on time. Ye Mubai walked to the banquet hall with Gu Ruchu's arm in arm. Someone came up to greet Ye Mubai, and the topic between the men was various project collaborations.
Gu Ruochu also followed what Ye Mubai had just said to her, and always had an awkward yet polite smile on her face. From time to time, someone would come to chat with her, and she would nod.
"Mr. Ye, why don't you bring Mrs. Ye with you?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses glanced at Gu Ruchu and asked lightly.
"She's not feeling well!"
The man with glasses laughed out loud when he heard this: "The person I envy the most in the circle is you, Mr. Ye!"
Gu Ruchu naturally understood the implicit meaning of his words and felt a little uncomfortable, so she whispered to Ye Mubai that she was tired and wanted to sit next to him.
Ye Mubai nodded, and she left with her skirt lifted. As she left, she heard the man say, "I never saw you bring your lover out before, why are you bringing him out now?"
lover?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Gu Ruchu's lips.
She found a quiet corner to sit and rest, and watched from afar Ye Mubai chatting with a group of business people. She didn't know what they were talking about, but there was a smile on his face. This man was just that kind person. He gave people the impression of being kind, gentle and elegant, but only Gu Ruchu knew his cruel side.
Come to think of it, he can give all his tenderness to everyone, but not a single bit is given to him.
All she was afraid of was that the initial admiration had turned into fear and even terror.
Whenever she closed her eyes, those scenes would emerge in her mind: his cruelty, his disgust, his coldness and ruthlessness. But she fell in love with such a cold and ruthless man, and if he gave her a little sweetness, all the previous bitterness would automatically disappear.
But now...
Gu Ruochu closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa to rest, thinking about the past.
Suddenly, the voices of a man and a woman reached her ears.
The man said, "Baby, I'm so sorry. I was supposed to celebrate your birthday with you today, but I brought you to a place like this!"
The girl smiled and said, "It's okay. Just think of it as everyone celebrating my birthday!"
"This is for you, a birthday present. When I make money in the future, I'll buy you something more expensive!"
"Help me put it on!"
Gu Ruochu opened her eyes and saw the man putting a necklace on the girl. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
It is said that love is a two-way journey, but one-sided efforts are very tiring, just like she is now. What's more, there is no future between them at all. Ye Mubai will never marry her, not in this life!
