Chapter 20 Unbearable
The car was parked in the bustling city center.
Land is very expensive here, and Gu Moyang has his own parking space here.
The land for the shopping mall was bought by Gu Moyang when he made his first fortune abroad. Now the land has been built into a shopping mall with huge traffic.
Jiang Jibai felt a slight sense of weightlessness in the slowly rising elevator.
Looking out through the glass elevator, I saw the lights coming on and the place was crowded with people, with prosperity and bustle everywhere.
This place is like the heart of the city, and she is standing in the center of the heart, watching the people in front of her slowly becoming smaller and smaller.
I don’t know where Gu Moyang is going to take her.
There were only the two of them in the elevator. Jiang Jibai looked down at the night view outside and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
He just wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to take her to a high-end restaurant for dinner.
Now he only wants the best for her.
Gu Moyang kept it a secret: "You'll know when you get there."
Jiang Jibai had never been up here before. Only when she reached the top floor did she realize there was a different world up there.
The fully transparent glass dome design makes you feel very close to the sky when you look up, as if you can pick the stars with your hands.
From here you can have a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire Beijing-Huaihe night view. The environment is quiet and there are not many guests.
Jiang Jibai took a look and knew that the people who came here were either rich or noble. Even if they had money, they might not be able to come up. Even the waiters were dressed quite elegantly.
This seemed to be a dating sanctuary, with an elegant environment and melodious music. She saw several couples kissing passionately.
Gu Moyang took her to a seat by the window, and Jiang Jibai sat down opposite him.
The tune is melodious and the brightness of the lights is just right.
The ambiguous atmosphere here made her feel a little uncomfortable, giving her the illusion that they were on a date.
Gu Moyang pushed the menu in front of her: "Order whatever you want."
Jiang Jibai put the bag in his hand aside and pushed the menu back: "Please let Mr. Gu order."
Gu Moyang paused while taking off his suit jacket and looked at her with a rather resentful look: "Are you no longer willing to call my name?"
When Jiang Jibai was dating him, he liked to call him Ayang the most.
When I act coquettishly, I call him Ayang. When I can’t resist begging for mercy, I still like to call him Ayang.
When he is angry, he is called a yang dog.
Even if she calls him a yang dog now, he still likes it.
Now he kept calling him Mr. Gu, which made him feel so distant that it chilled his heart.
Jiang Jibai paused. It was not that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare. She was afraid that if she called this name, she would fall into it again and there would be no escape.
Jiang Jibai: "How can you call Mr. Gu by his name casually?"
Gu Moyang: "Didn't you just call me that casually before?"
Jiang Jibai made a clear distinction: "The past is the past, and the present is the present."
Well, the past is the past and the present is now. Gu Moyang put his coat aside, his heart bleeding.
He called the waiter over: "Seared foie gras and Australian Black Angus sirloin steak, a brownie, and one of each of their signature dishes, thank you."
Jiang Jibai felt confused. She had never been to a Western restaurant with Gu Moyang before. How did he know that these were her favorite foods?
"Wait a minute." He added, "Don't put anything peanut-related in any of the dishes."
"Yes, sir."
Jiang Jibai was slightly stunned. He actually remembered that she was allergic to peanuts.
Plate after plate of exquisite dishes were presented, with a wide variety, and the dishes looked delicious.
But it couldn't arouse Jiang Jibai's appetite.
If it were a few years ago, when Gu Moyang brought her to this place for dinner, she would definitely eat with relish and be filled with joy.
Now that his mood had changed and their relationship had changed, Jiang Jibai had no appetite at all.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Moyang helped her peel the Boston lobster meat, dipped it in sauce and placed it neatly on the plate.
The steak was neatly cut into bite-sized pieces and placed on the plate.
And her favorite dessert, brownies.
Jiang Jibai watched his smooth operations and wondered if she treated Xu Jiaman like this?
"Eat a little first." Gu Moyang handed the cut steak to her, "It won't taste good when it gets cold."
This restaurant is the best among all the Western restaurants Gu Moyang has tried in Beijing and Huaihai since returning to China.
He was sure that Jiang Jibai would like it.
Jiang Jibai had a poor appetite to begin with, and she couldn't eat anymore after just a few bites.
The dazzling array of dishes placed in front of her remained largely untouched, and Gu Moyang's eyes dimmed.
"Not tasty?" Gu Moyang asked.
Jiang Jibai said truthfully: "No, I don't have much appetite."
Gu Moyang sneered: "Is it because you have no appetite because you are with me?"
Jiang Jibai's grip on the teacup tightened.
After a long time, the melodious music changed to another song. Jiang Jibai didn't say anything, which was tantamount to consent in Gu Moyang's eyes.
He took the cup, looked down at Jing Huai below him, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just being a jerk!"
Jiang Jibai didn't quite understand what he meant, but he saw loneliness in his eyes, the loneliness of having gained everything but losing everything.
Jiang Jibai didn't want to stay in this heavy and depressing space any longer. "I'm done eating. I'll leave first. Mr. Gu, take your time."
"Wait a minute!" Gu Moyang put down the cup in his hand.
He looked at her with a cold gaze, and the small mole under his right eyelash was filled with aggressive sharpness.
"Do you know how many women want to throw themselves at me?" Gu Moyang's voice was hoarse and trembling. "Jiang Jibai, am I so unbearable in your eyes? You are simply... heartless!"
Gu Moyang irritably pulled off his tie, and the tie clip fell to the floor with a crisp sound.
Jiang Jibai's heart sank and he felt a momentary pain in his heart.
But it was he who clearly said he wanted to break up, so why should he put all the blame on himself?
Jiang Jibai pinched his fingers and couldn't help but tear open the wound that had almost healed. "What do you mean?"
In the first month after their breakup, that voice would always wake her up from her sleep in the middle of the night.
The cold and ruthless voice on the phone that year is still ringing in my ears.
Jiang Jibai's heart ached: "Mr. Gu, please understand clearly, it was you who wanted to break up in the first place!"
Gu Moyang's eyes became darker, as if covered with a layer of black veil. He sneered: "Jiang Jibai, if it weren't for..."
The ringing of the phone interrupted Gu Moyang's words.
Jiang Jibai glanced at the name of the caller on his phone, Xu Jiaman.
Gu Moyang took the phone and answered it.
Not knowing what the other party said, Gu Moyang replied: "Okay, I understand. I will do it as soon as possible."
When answering the phone, Jiang Jibai saw the faint red mark on Gu Moyang's collarbone under his open shirt.
He just said that countless women threw themselves at him.
She looked at the time and it was time to go back and keep people company.
They really are partying every night without stopping.
Jiang Jibai frowned in disgust, and even his previous eagerness to know the answer was instantly shattered.
It doesn't matter what happened in the past; what matters is that they have gone their separate ways now.
"I'll take you home." Gu Moyang hung up the phone.
Jiang Jibai stood up from the booth with his bag in hand, his voice so distant that they sounded like strangers: "I don't want to delay Mr. Gu, I'll just go back by myself."
