Chapter 874 Qiule Manor
"What's it to you if I cry? I have so many shortcomings in your eyes, I don't mind having another crybaby." Gu Wanqiu hated his touch and raised her head to avoid it, but Li Jinxing pressed her forehead back.
Li Jinxing insisted on wiping the tears from her face, and her fair and clean face turned red.
"Seeing you cry, I feel sad too..." Both of them were stunned when these words came out.
Li Jinxing held Gu Wanqiu in his arms and tried to change the subject: "Anyway, you are here with me now, let's live a good life. You treat me well and I will treat you well."
He could continue to be Gu Wanqiu's dog like he did in the past, loving her, caring for her, being good to her, and being loyal to her, but he hoped that Gu Wanqiu would only have eyes for him.
Gu Wanqiu's body became stiff. Li Jinxing's words were simply telling her that she could not leave or escape.
Li Jinxing hugged her for a while and then let go. His dark eyes were occupied by Gu Wanqiu alone. His eyes were very beautiful, what the Internet calls peach blossom eyes, which are the most beautiful and affectionate eyes.
Affectionate doesn't mean he is truly affectionate, but rather that the shape of his eyes makes people mistakenly think he is affectionate, even when he is looking at a trash can.
So she couldn't be fooled by his appearance. Even if he looked at her with the eyes of a big dog looking at its master, she couldn't show any emotion.
In this game, if she falls in love, she will lose.
Of the two ways of leaving, Gu Wanqiu still felt that making Li Jinxing hate her and abandon her was more practical, but how could she make Li Jinxing hate her?
Gu Wanqiu sometimes felt that Li Jinxing was a pervert. She had not been very nice to Li Jinxing in the past, beating and scolding him, and insulting him like a dog. But he actually liked her. Maybe, as he said, he had a serious mental illness.
Gu Wanqiu suddenly became quiet and even stopped crying. Li Jinxing felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but then he thought that maybe Gu Wanqiu had taken his words to heart.
Li Jinxing took Gu Wanqiu inside. The decoration inside was even more luxurious. Even the chandeliers were made of crystal and gems. Twenty or thirty servants stood in two rows to greet them.
Gu Wanqiu had seen many scenes since she was a child, but she was still a little stunned by what she saw. She was raised by servants, but she actually didn't like living in such a big house, nor did she like being served by so many people.
After I got sick, my personality became a little withdrawn and I didn't like being in crowded places.
"Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?" Li Jinxing tried to make his tone as gentle as possible, as if he would agree to everything Gu Wanqiu did.
He also thought about it and decided that it would be better for two people to live together happily. It would be too tiring if they fought each other with hatred.
But he also knew that Gu Wanqiu's heart was made of stone and could not be softened in a short time.
Li Jinxing instructed the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes, and he called out the names of the dishes.
Gu Wanqiu listened quietly on the side. A year was neither short nor too short. Li Jinxing still remembered her favorite dishes.
There are several decoration styles in "Qiule Manor" that are somewhat similar to Gu's, and there is also a decorative wall made of fish tanks, but the fish here are more valuable and more beautiful.
Gu Wanqiu recalled her previous experience of raising fish. She looked happy and fed the fish as she pleased, but accidentally fed the fish to death.
It seemed like she couldn't keep anything alive. Her dog was hit by a car and died. Her fish died in the bathtub. Even the easiest plants to grow, such as the green ivy and cactus, were killed by her.
Perhaps it was because too many lives had been wasted at her hands, so retribution had come. Now she had become a fish in a pond, at the mercy of others.
The room that Li Jinxing specially prepared for Gu Wanqiu was on the third floor and could be reached by elevator. Gu Wanqiu could see the murals in the corridor clearly. Those paintings were all her previous practice paintings. Some of her casual doodles were framed in expensive frames, which seemed a bit out of place.
The bedroom also had a fingerprint password. Li Jinxing held Gu Wanqiu's hand, recorded his fingerprint, opened the door, and half-hugged her from behind, asking her, "Do you like it?"
Everything in the room was designed according to Gu Wanqiu's preferences. Gu Wanqiu liked to sleep in a big bed. This bed looked ridiculously large at first glance and could sleep seven or eight adults. It was obvious that Li Jinxing had it custom-made. The colors in the room were mainly blue and white. It was obviously just a bedroom but it had everything in it and looked like a living room.
On the bookshelf in the room were the books that Gu Wanqiu had read before, as well as the awards she had won in various competitions at school, including large trophies and small medals. All of these were familiar to Gu Wanqiu, but no matter how familiar they were, things and people had changed.
After touching her on her birthday night, Li Jinxing never touched her again. The main reason was that he hurt Gu Wanqiu because he did it too frequently that night.
At night, they both slept in each other's arms. Li Jinxing knew that Gu Wanqiu had trouble sleeping. He saw with his own eyes that she had swallowed two sleeping pills. After a short sleep, her body would suddenly tremble and she would wake up in shock.
Li Jinxing knew exactly when Gu Wanqiu fell asleep and when she woke up.
Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, he said, "It's still early. You can take a rest. I'll accompany you."
"I can't sleep..." Gu Wanqiu looked at the trophies on the shelf. "What did he say when he died?"
This "he" refers to Gu Chaodong. Gu Chaodong's death was an accident. Not long after Gu Wanqiu left, news came from the country that he died in the hospital. She didn't inquire about it, so she didn't even know how he died.
As for her attitude towards Gu Chaodong, Madam Gong even said, "Gu Wanqiu is too cold-blooded. We can't let her go."
She overheard this in the bathroom. Perhaps it was because of her overly cold and indifferent attitude that Madam Gong disliked her and could not accept her being with Gong Qing.
"Let me find you. He also left you a legacy. Now it's in my hands. Do you want it?"
"It's not just that inheritance." Li Jinxing acquired all the industries under the Gu family. Compared with these, the inheritance that Gu Chaodong left to Gu Wanqiu was nothing.
"What's mine is yours." This is really a nice thing to say.
Gu Wanqiu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she thought from the bottom of her heart: "You are really amazing."
"You taught me all this." Li Jinxing automatically ignored her sarcastic tone and sat on the bed with Gu Wanqiu. He didn't let go of his hand and still maintained the posture of holding her, not separating for a moment, wishing he could stick to her.
After sitting down, he continued, "You taught me a lot of things: perspective, vision, and the way rich people do things... If it weren't for the money you gave me every day, I wouldn't have become so strong. You also taught me how to love someone. Now I still love you as much as I did in the past, so why are you unhappy?"
