Chapter 195 He Regretted
On the way back, we were getting closer and closer to Genting Apartments.
There was silence in the carriage.
Su Qianqian stopped crying. She just tilted her head to look out the window. Her profile looked unusually pale and quiet in the flickering light and shadow.
Gu Chengyu gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles exerting force, veins bulging on his wrists.
He wanted to speak several times, but his eyes swept over her fragile profile and he was blocked by her appearance.
He had never seen Su Qianqian like this.
It's not coquettishness or temper tantrums, but indifference and alienation.
This made him more nervous than any noise.
The car speed increased and almost rushed into the underground garage of Genting Apartment.
As soon as the car stopped, Gu Chengyu unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car almost impatiently, and carried her out of the car.
Su Qianqian did not struggle, nor did she even look at him. She let him hold her like a delicate doll without a soul.
This kind of obedience made him more anxious than resistance.
He strode into the apartment, kicked the door shut, walked straight to the sofa in the living room, put her in with some force, then pressed his body down, trapped her with his arms on both sides, and stared at her with his almond-shaped eyes.
"Speak!" He said with suppressed impatience.
"Su Qianqian, tell me, what happened to you?"
Su Qianqian finally raised her eyelashes, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with water, but also unusually empty.
She looked at him, but it wasn't as if she was really looking at him. A tear silently fell from her beautiful eyes.
This made Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly tighten.
His tone softened, and he wiped her tears with his fingertips, coaxing her: "If you're jealous, you can tell me."
"As long as you ask, I won't marry anyone else."
Coming out of Gu Chengyu's mouth, these words were already a huge concession.
He waited to see her reaction, even the slightest loosening.
However, Su Qianqian just blinked lightly and still didn't speak.
This silence made Gu Chengyu feel a surge of anger in his heart.
Gu Chengyu pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head.
"Speak! Su Qianqian!"
"Just tell me you're jealous."
"As long as you say it, I won't marry anyone else."
"Just coax me, is it so difficult?"
The words came out of his mouth so suddenly that even he was stunned for a moment. It was so fucking embarrassing.
He pinched her chin harder unconsciously.
Su Qianqian frowned in pain, and finally showed some reaction, but she only cried more violently, and she looked extremely fragile.
Seeing her like this, Gu Chengyu let go of her hand again, feeling annoyed and at a loss.
He really had no idea what to do with her.
Finally, he seemed defeated and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop crying."
Then, Gu Chengyu resigned himself to his fate and carried her sideways, walked to the second bedroom, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
She turned sideways, her back to him, and curled up.
Gu Chengyu stood by the bed and looked at her for a long time. In the end, he said nothing, turned around and left with a gloomy face, closing the door gently.
…
Living room bar.
Gu Chengyu took a few big gulps from the whiskey bottle.
The strong liquor burned, but it couldn't extinguish the troubles in my heart.
She has never been like this before.
The indifference of not caring about anything and being able to leave at any time made him feel unprecedented panic.
He scratched his hair in frustration and pulled out his phone. There were several notifications about marriage proposals on the screen, but he swiped them away without even looking at them. He then opened the chat box with his mother and typed quickly:
[Mom, the marriage is canceled. Tell the Song family immediately.]
Less than ten seconds after the message was sent, Mrs. Gu's calls bombarded me.
Gu Chengyu picked up the phone, and immediately heard Mrs. Gu's usual graceful scolding from the other side:
"Gu Chengyu! What are you crazy about?"
"You personally agreed to the marriage the day before yesterday, and I personally released the news to the media today. Now the whole city knows that the Gu and Song families are getting married."
"Only two days? You're changing your mind after just two days? Do you think this is a joke?"
"Do you still want to save the Gu family's reputation?"
"Besides, you're a man, so at most people will say you're romantic and playful."
"But have you ever thought about Song Qingwan?"
"She's a clean-cut, innocent daughter of a wealthy family. What did she do wrong to deserve being publicly humiliated by you like this?"
"How will she ever survive in high society? How many people will laugh at her behind her back for being abandoned like a worn-out shoe before she even gets married? Do you know how offensive the word 'abandoned wife' sounds?"
"You're such a bastard!"
Gu Chengyu listened expressionlessly. After his mother finished yelling, he replied indifferently, "I never thought of marrying her."
"Then why did you nod at that time? Huh? Are you playing tricks on your parents and the Song family?" Mrs. Gu's voice trembled with anger.
"Well, Mom, just take it as it is." Gu Chengyu's voice was tired.
"I will give compensation to the Song family, but marriage is absolutely impossible."
After saying that, he ignored his mother's more intense scolding on the other end of the phone, hung up directly, and threw the phone aside.
He took another big gulp of wine, and the spicy feeling rushed to his head.
Yes, he regretted it.
He shouldn't have tested her and angered her in this way.
Now his mind was full of only one thing, to cancel this damn marriage and coax back the little thing lying there crying silently.
As for what would happen to Song Qingwan? He didn't care at all.
