Chapter 1063 Photos sent by Li Jinxing
Gu Wanqiu did not sleep all night. Sometimes she curled up on the bed holding her mobile phone, and sometimes she sat up and walked back and forth in the room. The phone frequently switched between two pages, one was Gong Qing and the other was Li Jinxing, for whom no notes had been added.
That night, Gu Wanqiu was restless and restless. She couldn't sleep at all. She wondered if Gong Qing's situation was very troublesome, whether he could handle it, and whether he could stand up to Li Jinxing.
She has always believed in Gong Qing. In her world, Gong Qing is the most powerful person.
But now, her beliefs were being shattered one by one. If the problem Gong Qing encountered this time could not be solved, what should she do? Could it be that... there was really only one path to choose?
She couldn't just ignore it. Since the incident started with her, it should end with her.
Gong Qing treats her the best. She cannot let anything happen to him, and cannot let his career be affected because of her.
Wait a little longer... wait a little longer...
Gu Wanqiu tried hard to comfort herself and prayed that things would turn around. She hoped that everything that was happening now was just a nightmare, and when the day broke and the sun came out, everything would be fine.
Sadly, this is not a dream.
Gu Wanqiu sat facing the window all night, from dusk to dawn. Her feet were cold, but she was unaware of it. The cold that was almost gone was revived by her sitting all night. She reacted belatedly and got up to find some cold medicine. It was already eight o'clock in the morning. Gong Qing had not returned all night. The leftover dishes on the table had gone cold and had not been put in the thermal box. A layer of white grease floated on the surface of the soup, which made people lose their appetite.
When Gong Qing is at home, he will keep the house very clean.
He would not leave everything to the servants. He would do things like cooking and washing dishes himself. Compared to others, he preferred to take care of Gu Wanqiu personally.
Gong Qing would help Gu Wanqiu arrange everything around her so that she wouldn't have to worry. His starting point was for her own good, but he overlooked one point. If everything went smoothly and Gu Wanqiu wasn't allowed to worry about anything, it would be easy for her to be spoiled and become a useless person, easily manipulated by others.
Just like now, after Gu Wanqiu left Gong Qing, not only could she not do anything, but someone also took advantage of her and caught her with evidence. In the end, she was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Gu Wanqiu cleaned the table and took it to the kitchen to wash. It took her more than ten minutes to wash several dishes, and she spent most of the time staring at the foam on her hands.
She kept paying attention to the phone in her pocket. Perhaps it was too sensitive, and she would feel the phone vibrating and making sounds from time to time. But when she took it out, there was nothing there.
Now she both wants her phone to ring and is afraid of it ringing.
She wanted Gong Qing to call her back and tell her that everything was fine, but she was afraid that the ringing phone might be from Li Jinxing.
She was in a state of tense alert. If she continued in this state of stress, she would probably go crazy soon.
After waiting for a whole night, there was no news from Gong Qing. It was daytime now, and Gu Wanqiu was afraid of disturbing him at work. She did not go out during the day, fearing that she would meet someone she did not want to meet and get into danger.
She ordered some takeout and while waiting for it, Gu Wanqiu hesitated and finally called Gong Qing.
As soon as the call was connected, the system prompt tone came out, "The number you dialed is busy" and it was Gong Qing who hung up.
Gong Qing usually doesn't
He just hung up her phone, unless he was busy with something important. It was already noon, and his work and rest schedule was always regular. This was his lunch time. Could things really be so troublesome that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat?
Gu Wanqiu was worried and blamed herself more and more. She didn't dare to contact Gong Qing. It was already one o'clock when the takeaway was delivered. Gu Wanqiu put it down after taking a few bites. She didn't sleep last night and was not sleepy during the day. Her eyes were dry. Gu Wanqiu rubbed her eyes and stared at the path outside the window. That was the only way to go upstairs. She hoped to see Gong Qing.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the cell phone rang. The extremely nervous Gu Wanqiu was frightened and her scalp went numb. When she saw that the caller was Gong Qing, her expression relaxed visibly.
She answered the phone, her voice hoarse: "Gong Qing."
"I'm sorry, I hung up on you at noon. I was in a meeting at that time and couldn't pick up the phone."
"I know. I called you to ask if you have resolved the issue."
"not yet."
"Is it troublesome?"
"It's not a big deal. It will be taken care of in a few days. Don't worry."
Gong Qing didn't want to make Gu Wanqiu worry, so he chose to hide it, but how could he hide it? Although Gong Qing hid it very well, Gu Wanqiu could still hear the deep fatigue in his voice, and his hoarse voice was almost as loud as hers.
The matter was obviously very troublesome, so why didn't you tell her? Perhaps you also knew that telling her would be useless and would not solve any problems.
Gong Qing also did not sleep all night. He also worked for more than ten hours and was very tired. He called Gu Wanqiu.
He took time out of his busy schedule to make phone calls. People would start to feel sleepy the moment they relaxed. He forced himself to stay awake to divert Gu Wanqiu's attention.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I ate. I didn't go out today, so I ordered takeout. How about you?"
"I've eaten too..." Gong Qing had just finished speaking when other people's voices came from the phone.
"Boss Gong, Boss Wang wants to see you..."
"Wanqiu, I have something else to do now. I'll call you later."
Gu Wanqiu opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word, the other party hung up the phone.
Gong Qing said he would call her back later, but Gu Wanqiu waited until dark but still didn't get a call. Perhaps he was so busy that he had forgotten.
Gu Wanqiu was worried all day and had a severe headache. She sat on the dining chair, and fell asleep on the table after dinner. She slept very uneasily and dreamed of Li Jinxing. Suddenly, she shuddered, her body tilted, and she fell to the side as if she had lost weight, completely out of control.
There was a loud "bang", and the man and the chair fell to the ground. Gu Wanqiu was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and curled up on the ground. Fortunately, he hugged his head in time when he fell, so he was not seriously injured. However, he suffered a lot of minor injuries, which made his already injured body worse.
Gu Wanqiu moved her hands cautiously. She didn't feel much pain when she fell, but was probably more frightened. The intense shock occupied her brain, preventing her from reacting in time. Now that she was slowly coming to her senses, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart, and she didn't dare to act rashly.
Gu Wanqiu endured it for a moment, trying hard not to let herself cry, and carefully raised her hand.
My elbow was scraped off and my foot was twisted.
It's rare to see someone so unlucky that he could fall so badly at home.
Gu Wanqiu had a dejected look on his face as he sat on the ground, staring at the door, like a stray dog that just found a home.
She had a feeling that Gong Qing would not come back tonight.
In an instant, frustration filled Gu Wanqiu's face. She rubbed her wrist, looked at her arm that was scraped by the fall, and carefully leaned over to blow on it. The pain eased a little, but it was still very painful.
Gu Wanqiu slowly got up from the ground, limping, and fell on the sofa with her cell phone in her hand. She didn't really feel much pain, but for some reason, she felt weak all over and couldn't even walk the short distance to the bedroom.
Gu Wanqiu lay on the sofa, her rapid breathing gradually returned to normal. She was still holding her cell phone tightly, and suddenly the phone vibrated.
Someone sent a text message. Gu Wanqiu didn't click it to read immediately, but thought silently in her heart that she hoped it was a message from Gong Qing. Unfortunately, her hope was dashed.
A familiar number came into view. Gu Wanqiu didn't want to look at it at first, but then she remembered the threat from Li Jinxing and finally couldn't resist it. She lost confidence and clicked on the message. There was no text, only a photo.
In the photo, the lights are bright, Gong Qing is wearing a well-tailored suit, and he is handsome. On his left hand, a woman in a white dress is holding his hand. The two of them are close to each other. In the crowd, they seem to be a perfect match made in heaven.
Gu Wanqiu's breath was choked. She had never thought that she would see such a scene one day. She felt like she was slapped hard in the face. She was unable to react for a long time.
He came over and stared at the photo with his eyes fixed on it, as if he wanted to stare a hole through the phone.
