Chapter 31 Morality
Gu Heng has always been a person with clear goals. He considers the gains and losses before making any decision, and it is this caution that has allowed him to avoid many unnecessary troubles in life.
To be honest, he should know very well that he shouldn't be so impulsive. His rash step forward now may have destined him to face many strange looks and have his peaceful life disrupted.
Gu Heng had never been so impulsive before. He had a strange feeling that he had become a young man again, even though he was clearly past the age of being a young man.
Chu Xiang seemed puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion. She slowly leaned closer to him and asked softly, "What kind of relationship is the kind of relationship that Brother Gu is talking about between boyfriend and girlfriend?"
She tilted her head back, her skin as white as snow, her bright eyes overflowing with innocence and purity, so clean and pure that it was unbelievable, like a blank sheet of paper waiting for someone to touch it.
Gu Heng followed his heart's desire. He lowered his head and, unaware of her resistance, continued down, kissing the corner of her lips.
In such a small space, the thrill of immorality is even more intense, making one's blood boil.
Gu Heng, relying on his self-control, stepped back slightly and said slowly, "This is the kind of interaction we have."
Chu Xiang's eyes shone even brighter.
The next instant, Gu Heng was grabbed by the collar by the girl who pounced on him and had to lower his head. He only stiffened for a moment before he raised his hand and placed it on her back, pulling her even closer to his chest.
Everything that has happened now has provided answers to all the questions.
When Gu Heng returned to the company, his expression was no different from usual. However, Assistant Yin, who had worked with him for many years, clearly noticed something was wrong. He hesitated several times, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Assistant Yin watched as Gu Heng finished reviewing a document, but he still hadn't left the office.
Gu Heng looked up and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Assistant Yin forced a smile. "I just saw a news story on my phone that's been getting a lot of attention. It's about a man who killed his brother, but after an investigation, they found out that his brother had stolen his wife, which is why he did such an extreme thing in a moment of impulse."
Gu Heng commented calmly, "This kind of revenge that involves getting yourself involved is foolish."
Assistant Yin nodded, "Yes, I saw in the news that the man and his wife grew up together and had a pretty good relationship. That's why he was so furious when he found out his wife was having an affair with his brother."
Assistant Yin sighed again, "That guy is really something. There are so many women in this world, how could he have a relationship with his own relative's wife? Even if he likes her a lot, she's already married. If he interferes like this, he'll only be criticized by others as an immoral third party."
Assistant Yin launched into a lengthy explanation, then asked Gu Heng for his opinion, "Mr. Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Heng looked at his phone, replying to someone's message. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said without much emotion, "You're absolutely right."
When Assistant Yin heard Gu Heng agree with him, he immediately felt more confident. "Actually, the attraction between people is really strange. We can't control these feelings. But as human beings, the biggest difference between us and animals is that we can control our behavior. For example, if someone is married or has a partner, no matter how much we like them, we should stay far away from them."
Gu Heng sent a message, then raised his eyes slightly, a hint of a smile on his lips, "Assistant Yin, your point of view is very applicable to ordinary people."
Assistant Yin looked slightly confused.
Gu Heng said, "Since I've taken this position, it means I'm not someone who values truth, goodness, and beauty. What do you think?"
Assistant Yin: "..."
When Gu Heng was little, he had a rabbit. It was a gift he received from his father when he was twelve years old. He preferred the hopping rabbit to the extracurricular books his mother gave him.
The rabbit was still very young, and Gu Heng had to take care of everything, from eating and drinking to defecating. However, Gu Heng didn't find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, he was very happy because the little rabbit could only survive by relying on him.
That was the first time Gu Heng had a feeling that he could finally have something that was completely his own.
But one day, Gu Jue came to his grandfather's house. He just squatted down next to a rabbit playing in the lawn. The rabbit rubbed against his hand without any shyness. Young Gu Jue was very happy and picked up the rabbit and petted it again and again.
The little rabbit did not resist.
So later, Gu Heng dismantled the kennel he had made for the rabbit, and not long after, the rabbit unfortunately died in the kennel.
From then on, Gu Heng never kept any pets again.
My phone vibrated twice; it was a message from the girl.
Today's class was so boring.
She also sent me a meme of a kitten lying on the ground with the word "bored" above its head.
Gu Heng always speaks formally in a question-and-answer format when chatting with others. His work colleagues don't use these kinds of small images, as if there's a huge generation gap between Gu Heng and them, and using emojis on him is offensive. Of course, many people also think that Gu Heng is the kind of person who definitely doesn't understand emojis.
Gu Heng searched on his browser for how to send emojis, and replied with a message: "I'll pick you up after class."
Then, he replied with a cat-patting emoji.
Not long after, he received a picture of a little person kneeling and obediently making "mmm" sounds.
Gu Heng suddenly found that sending emojis was quite interesting.
Assistant Yin walked out of the office in a daze. He didn't know if he had gone mad or if the world had gone mad. The usually self-disciplined and rule-abiding CEO Gu had actually started dating his younger brother's fiancée.
However, Assistant Yin soon realized that he didn't need to worry about this matter anymore. Just as Gu Heng had said, he was not a saint. Over the years, Gu Heng had never failed in a project he had his eye on. Even if things really escalated, it wouldn't be a big deal for Gu Heng.
On the other side, after attending two classes in a row, Chu Xiang lazily slumped onto her desk, yawning sleepily. Just then, someone called her name from the doorway, "Chu Xiang."
Chu Xiang looked up and saw Meng Qiyue.
Meng Qiyue walked over quickly, her smile bright and cheerful. "This weekend is my birthday, and my dad is throwing me a birthday party. You absolutely have to come!"
