Chapter 116: He saw through her...
Gu Jingchen arrived at the meeting place chosen by Xu Qinghu, which was an art gallery in the city center.
At this time, a famous handicraft artist was holding an exhibition, and the door was hung with colorful promotional banners.
Xu Qinghu was wearing a black long skirt, with her hair casually draped over her shoulders. She stood quietly in front of the signboard, as if she was a stunning character from a movie.
There was no parking lot in front of the art gallery, so Gu Jingchen had to go through the intersection and park at the back. When he passed by Xu Qinghu, he subconsciously took a picture of Xu Qinghu.
She stood there contentedly, her whole body unrestrained and bright, like a pearl covered in dust, gleaming brightly in the sun.
[What a nice view. ]
There was a burst of praise in the live broadcast room.
[She is indeed the most beautiful female guest in the dating variety show.]
[When will my heart stop racing when I see Hulu? I'm completely captivated by her.]
So, why did she invite Gu Jingchen? Aren’t Mr. He and his junior good friends?
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Gu Jingchen parked the car and came to Xu Qinghu, trying his best not to reveal any flaws.
"Not bad," Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled. "But you, are you surprised that I invited you?"
"A little bit," Gu Jingchen followed her into the art gallery. "I thought you would invite Mr. He or Wu Xuan."
"Why invite them?" Xu Qinghu said, turning his back to him, "Wouldn't it be nice to invite you?"
Gu Jingchen's eyes flashed. He was not sure what Xu Qinghu was trying to do.
"Let's go," Xu Qinghu said. "I heard there will be several exquisite mortise and tenon joints on display today. They are the product of years of painstaking effort by their creators."
The art exhibition is divided into several exhibition halls. The two took the elevator to the mortise and tenon exhibition hall on the second floor. Through the bright glass, they saw the mortise and tenon palace shining under the lights. The workmanship was extremely fine, and every detail could stand up to scrutiny.
"It's so beautiful," Xu Qinghu turned around and looked at Gu Jingchen, smiling. "Everything in this palace is made of wood joined together without any extra tools. Once built, it will last for hundreds or even thousands of years. Isn't it amazing?"
Gu Jingchen looked at the reddish-brown palace, and guessed that she wanted to use the art exhibition to mock his failed fashion show, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
"It's amazing," he said, looking at Xu Qinghu's face and smiling. "But even the most sturdy work wouldn't be able to recover from a sudden fusion. Insect infestation and earthquakes, for example, would cause irreparable damage."
Xu Qinghu didn't seem to expect him to say such an offensive word, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes, "Really?"
Her eyes curved slightly, "You still think further, you are worthy of being a designer."
Gu Jingchen was once again certain that she was deliberately seeking revenge against him. She could have chosen a more relaxed and pleasant date location, but she had insisted on choosing an art museum with a strong creative atmosphere. Wasn't she just trying to get the audience to reinforce his evil deeds? Anger suddenly welled up in his heart.
His future is ruined, why is she still unwilling to let go?
Gu Jingchen took a deep breath and looked at her without any ambiguity. No matter how deep his heart was, it disappeared when he suffered torture in his previous life.
He even resented Xu Qinghu very much. If it weren't for her, how could he have lived such a miserable life?
"I didn't expect you to bring me to the art museum," Gu Jingchen changed the subject, "I thought you preferred places like East Lake."
"How could that be?" Xu Qinghu turned around and looked at him, smiling and saying, "Although East Lake is nice, you can't go there all the time, otherwise it would be too boring."
Gu Jingchen could not see any hint of hostility towards him in her brows, which made him even more frightened.
Her acting was so perfect that if he hadn't been awakened, he wouldn't have noticed her hostility towards him and would have probably taken this date as a gesture of goodwill.
Is this Xu Qinghu’s true face?
Whether in the previous life or this life, she doesn't want anyone to have an easy life.
Gu Jingchen said calmly, "Have you thought about what will happen after you leave the show?"
"Of course," Xu Qinghu said, "I should spend most of my energy on work."
"Will you remember us?" Gu Jingchen asked, "Will you cut off contact with everyone?"
"How is that possible?" Xu Qinghu looked at him meaningfully. "It's not easy to get to know so many friends. Of course I will keep in touch with you."
Gu Jingchen heard the hidden meaning in her words, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.
Xu Qinghu is obviously not satisfied with the current result. Even if he leaves the dating show, he will probably continue to target him, Qiao Wanshu and others.
Gu Jingchen lowered his eyelashes and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. "Me too, I will also be reluctant to leave everyone."
"Really?" Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes and once again caught the discomfort in his eyes, as if he was hiding some unspeakable secret.
The reason she wrote his name was because she wanted to understand his thoughts.
Gu Jingchen's attitude towards her changed drastically after he was discharged from the hospital. Not only was he not as warm as before, but he looked at her with hatred and fear, which meant that something must have happened during his hospitalization.
Whether Gu Jingchen knew that she was the one plotting against him behind the scenes, or whether he had other secrets, she had to find out.
Elsewhere, He Shengnian drove to a holiday villa in the suburbs. As soon as he parked the car, Qiao Wanshu, who was standing at the door, came to greet him.
"You're here." She looked up at He Shengnian, her black and white eyes seemed to contain infinite affection.
He Shengnian nodded slightly, "What are we doing today?"
"Let's go horseback riding first," Qiao Wanshu said, "I heard there's a big horse farm in the mountains."
As the invited guest, He Shengnian naturally had no objection and followed her to the horse farm.
Both of them came from wealthy families and were familiar with this activity. They each chose a horse, turned over and sat on it familiarly, and then cantered along the green horse field.
The two horses running side by side looked particularly romantic in the camera of the program crew.
Even those viewers who dislike Qiao Wanshu in many ways can't help but sigh that she is very versatile.
[If it were Xu Qinghu, she would definitely need Mr. He to teach her horse riding, right?]
[+1, Qiao Wanshu may be abominable, but she's not completely useless. Judging from this, she and Mr. He are quite a good match.]
[It's a pity that she's so vicious, slandering Xu Qinghu crazily in order to get promoted. Otherwise, she could have become a big star with the romance variety show.]
[Come on, stop comparing Qiao Wanshu to Hulu. She's not worthy! Vampires like her deserve to be hacked into pieces!]
I didn't expect that at this time, there are still people defending Qiao Wanshu. They must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
[They're probably of the same ilk, otherwise how could they empathize with Qiao Wanshu? I wish people like you would rot and stink, and never have a good life again!]
It was almost noon when they changed their clothes and returned to the resort to eat.
"Let's go soak in the hot springs this afternoon," Qiao Wanshu said with a smile, "I heard there are natural hot springs in the mountains. You work so hard, so soaking in them would be good for your health."
He Shengnian was silent for a moment, then said straight to the point: "I hope to go back soon."
Even though he was dating her according to the show's rules, it didn't mean he was giving her a chance.
Qiao Wanshu lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "Let's go back after we finish the hot spring bath."
"Thank you," He Shengnian said solemnly, looking at her slightly pale face, "I've already told you everything I need to say. I hope this is the last time you invite me."
Qiao Wanshu looked up at him, an unnatural blush appearing in the corners of her eyes. "Sorry."
She seemed to be trying very hard to hold back her tears, "I was too willful and didn't consider your feelings."
He Shengnian didn't respond.
Qiao Wanshu whispered, "This should be the last time."
She looked at He Shengnian stubbornly and whispered, "Even though I knew you would be unhappy, I still wanted to use the program's rules to fulfill my own selfish desires. I really don't want to leave any regrets."
She looked deeply into He Shengnian's eyes, as if to see into his heart, "This way, when I look back on it later, it will be a very beautiful memory."
He Shengnian frowned. He knew Qiao Wanshu's character very well. This was clearly an excuse.
But when he thought that after today, he and Qiao Wanshu would have no more contact, he did not lose interest.
After dinner, the two went to the open-air hot spring pool in the resort.
In order to protect the privacy of guests, each hot spring pool is separated by deep tree shadows, and with staff guarding outside, there is no need to worry about safety issues.
He Shengnian and Qiao Wanshu separated at the door and went to their rooms to change clothes.
Then he walked barefoot to the hot spring pool, took off his shirt, and slowly entered the water. It was indeed very relaxing to soak in the hot spring while resting your mind.
The shots of him taking a hot spring bath are quite interesting. The people in the live broadcast room have been discussing He Shengnian's figure, saying that he has broad shoulders and long legs, full chest muscles, and overflowing hormones. They asked the cameramen to get closer so that they could appreciate him more carefully.
However, He Shengnian gave him a look and in order to protect the privacy of the guest, the camera had to be moved to focus on the green plants nearby.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.
He Shengnian slowly turned around and saw Qiao Wanshu walking towards him in light clothes. He put the tea in his hand aside and said with a smile, "If you are thirsty, you can drink some water."
After saying that, he didn't stay and went to the hot spring pool on the other side.
He Shengnian glanced at her and continued to lean against the pool to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, the heat from the hot spring pool made him feel a little uncomfortable. He took a couple of sips of tea, then looked down at the time. It was already four in the afternoon, so it was time to go back.
He Shengnian got out of the water and strode back to his room to change his clothes.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled an extremely rich fragrance, like the scent of flowers and musk, which made him feel restless and his body reacted instantly.
He immediately realized that something was wrong and closed the door immediately to stop the photographer from coming in.
As soon as he turned around, a naked figure appeared from behind the curtains, raised his hands and hugged him tightly!
He Shengnian was caught off guard and was hugged tightly.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw Qiao Wan with her long hair draped over her shoulders and her naked body crawling into his arms.
She had completely lost her former dignity and was like a boneless water snake. While entwining herself with He Shengnian, she also raised her head to kiss his chest and neck... trying desperately to provoke a physical reaction from He Shengnian.
He Shengnian's pupils contracted violently for a moment, and he thought he was hallucinating. He raised his hand and threw her to the ground!
With a "bang" sound!
Qiao Wanshu fell to the ground in a mess, her white body completely exposed in front of He Shengnian.
She didn't say anything, but just got up again, and rushed towards He Shengnian again with red eyes, her eyes full of determination and fanaticism to win.
This is her last chance!
No matter what method she uses, she must make He Shengnian bind himself to her.
She doesn't care about chastity or the dignity of a rich lady.
She only wanted this man in front of her, to save the Qiao family and maintain her class. She could pay any price for this.
Before she could touch him, He Shengnian threw her out again!
"If you want everyone to know about your shameful deeds, you can continue." He stood there, staring down at Qiao Wanshu, his voice icy with unprecedented anger. "Before that, you'd better think clearly whether you and the Qiao family can withstand my wrath."
Qiao Wanshu turned over and slowly crawled to He Shengnian's feet, like a prostitute waiting for his favor, revealing her fair and frail neck, her face flushed as she said, "You want it too, don't you?"
She looked at He Shengnian's obviously responsive body, slowly stood up, and showed herself to him to the fullest: her fair and delicate skin, her full and lustrous breasts, her long and beautiful legs...
"I like you. You can do anything to me, including relieving your desires."
She looked into He Shengnian's eyes and reiterated, "You clearly feel it now, don't you?"
After saying that, she quickly grabbed He Shengnian's hand and placed it on her chest, whispering, "I don't need you to be responsible. I don't need anything. I just want to give myself to you. That way, I will have no regrets at all."
What else can make a man feel more accomplished than a woman willing to devote herself unconditionally?
They were so realistic, they wouldn't release the eagle until they saw the rabbit. Even if He Shengnian was upright, could he still maintain his usual rationality in the face of such temptation? She didn't believe it.
"You put drugs in the tea," He Shengnian withdrew his hand without question. His body was tense to the extreme, and the hot air he breathed out was particularly hot. He stared at Qiao Wanshu with red eyes, "You planned this a long time ago."
Seeing that he had seen through his plan, Qiao Wanshu stopped pretending and said, "You forced me to do this."
She approached him again. "If you could be a little more patient with me and choose me unwaveringly, would I make such a choice? You forced me to do it."
This time she didn't throw herself at He Shengnian again. Instead, she knelt down and put her face close to his trouser legs, saying flatteringly, "There are people filming outside. None of us can get out like this. Why don't you let me help you?"
After saying that, she started to undress him.
"That's enough!" He Shengnian kicked her in the chin, knocking her to the ground. Veins popped out of his forehead, and he shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"
Qiao Wanshu's head hit the ground hard, and blood flowed from his mouth and forehead.
She felt a continuous stabbing pain in her head and raised her head in a daze, only to see He Shengnian's extremely cold eyes. He looked at her as if he was looking at a dead person.
Her body twitched and she wanted to say something, but her eyes gradually darkened.
She just knew it.
She knew she wouldn't succeed.
How could a man like He Shengnian be soft-hearted towards her?
My brother guessed wrong again this time.
