Chapter 55: Only delivered to the door today?
At 8:30 p.m., Chu Xiang was still trapped in the car. She was held in the man's arms, and he kept stealing her breath. When she couldn't breathe properly, she would impatiently try to push him away. Whenever this happened, Gu Heng would obediently step back slightly. However, after she calmed down, he would smile and gently kiss her lips.
Chu Xiang had a strange feeling; her boyfriend seemed unusually clingy today, like a big dog that always wanted to snuggle up to its owner.
Its fangs and claws were retracted, and its fur was soft and smooth, as if its softest belly was exposed to her, just waiting for her to touch it.
Confined in his arms in this small world, Chu Xiang did not feel restricted in her freedom, but rather felt a sense of satisfaction and security.
Even with the air conditioning on, the temperature in the cramped space kept rising.
In the dim light, Gu Heng's voice was extremely gentle, "I will be having dinner with Mr. Chu tomorrow night."
Chu Xiang leaned against him, "Do you need me to go?"
Gu Heng straightened her slightly disheveled collar, met the girl's gaze, and smiled gently, "No need, you don't need to worry about these things, just leave them to me."
He didn't say why he wanted to have dinner with Chu Sheng, but Chu Xiang quickly guessed the reason. Since Gu Heng said it wasn't necessary, Chu Xiang didn't get involved.
Gu Heng carefully tied the bow on the neckline of her dress symmetrically on both sides. The gentleness and passion in his dark eyes were so captivating that they made one's heart flutter.
Chu Xiang's heart itched with desire, and she tugged at his sleeve, "Are you only going to see me to the door today?"
Gu Heng patted her head. "Okay, just to the door."
Chu Xiang pursed her lips; this man really could endure anything.
On one side, the couple is locked in a bitter breakup, while on the other side, another family conflict erupts.
In the Gu family's living room, Gu Jue looked at his mother and said coldly, "Mom, did you go to see Ruan Ruan again?"
Chen Wanrou: "What do you mean by that? It makes me sound like I'm not a good person, that I only cause trouble for others!"
Gu Jue: "If you hadn't gone to cause trouble for Ruan Ruan, how could she have blocked all my messages and disappeared?"
"How would I know why?" Chen Wanrou felt that Su Ruanruan was truly despicable, bewitching her son and making him unable to distinguish right from wrong. She also lost her temper. "I haven't seen her for a long time. Where she goes has nothing to do with me."
Gu Heng didn't believe Chen Wanrou's words. The last time Chen Wanrou and Chu Xiang went to see Su Ruanruan and embarrassed her, Su Ruanruan had threatened Gu Jue not to come looking for her again and that she would cut off all contact with him.
Gu Jue found it ridiculous; he was always the one dumping women, never the other way around.
He brought up the contract they had signed again, but Su Ruanruan said that as long as his older brother was around, even if he was the second young master of the Gu family, the contract he and she had signed was nothing but a piece of waste paper.
Gu Jue was unwilling, though he couldn't quite put his finger on whether it was because he was unwilling to be overshadowed by his older brother or because he was unwilling to accept that Su Ruanruan was leaving him. In any case, this rich young master, who was used to a life of ease and comfort, continued to use forceful and ruthless methods to seize what he wanted.
And so, Su Ruanruan and Gu Jue's lingering connection resumed, and this ill-fated relationship began anew. Gu Jue's shadow became a part of Su Ruanruan's life, and she felt pathetic that she could only be Gu Jue's lover.
However, just a month ago, Gu Jue was provoked and rushed out of the house, knocking on Su Ruanruan's door in the rainy night. Su Ruanruan looked at Gu Jue, who was soaked by the rain and looked like a lost lamb, and for the first time she discovered the vulnerability of this man.
In a moment of passion and infatuation, the two spent a wonderful night together.
Gu Jue could sense that Su Ruanruan was not as resistant to him as before. Although he still refused to admit that he liked her, the joy in his heart was genuine.
However, just when Gu Jue thought everything would return to normal, Su Ruanruan suddenly disappeared without a word.
How dare that woman just disappear like that!
A surge of anger welled up in Gu Jue's heart, and his expression turned icy. "Mom, tell me the truth, did you and Chu Xiang go and cause trouble for her again?"
Chen Wanrou truly felt wronged, being so unjustly accused by her beloved son. She involuntarily raised her voice, "I've already said I haven't gone to see her! Gu Jue, I'm your mother, don't you believe me? Didn't she say she wanted to break up with you before? But all this time, she's still seeing you! This woman is not as simple as you think. Her disappearance is just a ploy to play hard to get!"
Chen Wanrou earnestly advised, "Gu Jue, wake up! That woman isn't as pretty as Chu Xiang, and her family background isn't as good as Chu Xiang's either. You two are not a good match. Even if you get together, it won't end well!"
Upon hearing Chen Wanrou mention Chu Xiang, Gu Jue frowned, and anger flashed across his handsome face. "I knew it! You did all this for Chu Xiang!"
Chen Wanrou reached out and took Gu Jue's hand, "Gu Jue, listen to me carefully..."
"Stop talking!" Gu Jue pushed Chen Wanrou's hand away. He didn't pay attention to his strength, and Chen Wanrou was pushed to the ground by the force, hitting her forehead on the coffee table. She didn't recover for a long time.
Gu Jue was taken aback. He belatedly realized what was happening and took a step forward.
"Gu Jue".
The man's voice came like a terrifying ghost, and Gu Jue froze.
Gu Heng asked, "What did you do?"
Gu Jue was at a loss, "I...Big brother, I...I didn't mean to..."
He wanted to do something but dared not move, and could only watch as Gu Heng helped Chen Wanrou up. Chen Wanrou's forehead was injured and immediately became red and swollen. Her body was weak and powerless, and she was also a little dizzy.
At this moment, Gu Jue became like a child. He felt guilty and regretful, and his words of defense were weak and powerless. "I just wanted to push Mom away. I didn't expect that I would be so strong. Big brother, I really didn't mean to. You have to believe me."
Gu Heng remained expressionless.
In the past, no matter what Gu Jue did, Gu Heng would always respond because he had good manners. Even when Gu Heng hit Gu Jue with something last time, he never looked so expressionless.
Gu Jue's anxiety was amplified. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it: in his eyes, his elder brother Gu Heng's prestige was even greater than his father's.
“Aheng…” Chen Wanrou grabbed Gu Heng’s hand and said anxiously, “Don’t blame your brother. It was my own fault for not standing properly. It has nothing to do with him.”
