25. A strange woman’s lip print on his collar
Chu Yanhui's body froze when he heard his voice.
Her cell phone was snatched away. She looked at the man and saw his face darken for a moment. He glared at herself fiercely, then walked to the balcony angrily with the phone in his hand.
Close the balcony door.
Through the glass, she could see him speaking gently to the person on the other end of the phone, with a doting and tender look on his face.
It was something she had never seen before.
Chu Yanhui stood there stiffly, his face pale, his hands clenched tightly. His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, the pain so severe that he almost cried.
Gu He finished his phone call, grabbed his suit and was about to go out. She grabbed his arm, feeling unbelievable at his quick change of heart: "Are you going to pick up another woman?"
"release!"
His eyes were filled with anger, and he shook her hand away: "I'll settle today's score with you when I get back!"
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut and she stood there blankly for a long time.
When did it start?
Was it the affectionate "Sisi" he whispered that night? Or was it the red lipstick mark found on his collar?
Or...even earlier?
Long before she met Gu He, the two of them had already had a very close relationship.
She suddenly felt like a joke.
"If you like Huo Sisi, why did you agree to be with me?"
She squatted on the ground, burying her face in her knees. Tears streamed down her eyes, aggrieved and helpless, like the whimper of a wounded animal.
That day, Chu Yan was completely distracted. After being scolded by Sister Liu at work, she barely managed to pull herself together. Whenever she thought of what happened that morning, her heart ached.
I declined the uncle's invitation to dinner listlessly, saying, "Sorry, I'm a bit busy today. Maybe next time."
The man could tell she wasn't interested, so he didn't force her.
After get off work, she did not return to the house she shared with Gu He, but ordered some drinks at the bar and sat there until dawn.
Her phone rang again and again, the words "Ahe" flashing on the screen, but she stared blankly as if she hadn't heard it. Everyone else in the bar looked at her strangely.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her: "Madam, your phone is ringing."
She finally woke up from her dream and pressed and held the power button to turn off the phone.
My face was cold and covered with tears.
She loved Gu He, and even though she knew that this person was not what she originally thought, she still couldn't help loving him.
But he trampled her deep affection under his feet.
The woman's proud voice echoed in my ears.
Childhood sweethearts...
Since he and Huo Sisi have been childhood sweethearts, why did she agree to be with me?
It was already early morning when Gu He found her. She was sitting alone on a bench by the roadside with an empty wine bottle at her feet.
He strode forward, pulled her up, and angrily scolded her:
"Chu Yanhui! I called you so many times, why didn't you answer? It's so late and you didn't go back. Do you know that I looked for you all over Hong Kong City, and you——"
His voice died when he saw her expression.
She sneered in a tearful voice, "Why, you didn't even let the person you like stay overnight when you brought her back home? If you loved her, why did you agree to be with me a year ago?"
"Who told you I love her? Nonsense!" He frowned.
"You two are childhood sweethearts. You can just be with her openly. I'll leave on my own so you don't have to sneak around and pretend to be nice to me every day... Is that fun?"
She pulled his hand away from her shoulder and staggered forward.
Gu He quickly stepped forward, held her, and softened his tone.
"You misunderstood. Sisi and I are not what you think! I only see her as my sister... I love you."
The girl raised her head, but did not answer his confession. Instead, she stared at him with red eyes: "Sister, are you my sweet sister?"
After a pause, she said painfully, "Didn't you say this morning that you had a score to settle with me? Now it's settled, whatever you want."
After hearing these words, the man felt heavy in the heart, knowing that things were not going to go well.
He tried to justify himself: "How could I bear to settle accounts with you? I was just joking! Why did you take it so seriously? But you really shouldn't have touched my phone without permission."
"Shouldn't I have seen the note 'baby' you wrote on your phone for her, or shouldn't I have heard her call you 'Ahe' so affectionately?"
"Gu He, if you're tired of me, I'll break up with you. I won't keep pestering you."
"Sisi and I have been good friends since childhood. She changed that note three years ago before she went abroad, and I've kept it. I've been calling her by that name for many years. How can this prove that I love her?"
He was very angry and almost indignant.
"You're the only one I've loved from the beginning! Otherwise, Sisi and I have been together for so many years, wouldn't I have been with her long ago? How could it be your turn?"
Chu Yanhui was stunned by him, his expression blank for a moment: "Really...really?"
Her sixth sense told her that Gu He had cheated on her a long time ago, but his words made so much sense that she had no words to refute.
The Huo family was a prominent family in Haicheng, a perfect match for the Gu family. If Gu He and Huo Sisi were truly in love, they would have arranged the marriage long ago. Why would it be her turn, given her declining family background?
When Gu He accepted her confession, she was extremely shocked. Not only because it was incredible that her unrequited love dream had come true, but also because of the huge difference in their family backgrounds.
Gu He is the heir to Gu Pharmaceuticals and the current president. He is young, talented, handsome and wealthy. He can be said to be the first choice of marriage partner for many families.
It was simply a fantasy that he would agree with me.
But in the following year, although he still looked cold, she could feel his thoughtfulness most of the time, so she never doubted that he didn't love her.
It was not until Huo Sisi showed up that she saw him talking to her on the phone. He was so gentle and affectionate, completely different from how he treated her.
She saw through it and decided to quit.
Unexpectedly, Gu He said that he has always loved herself.
"Of course it's true," Gu He held her hand and helped her to the car, "Yan Hui, come back with me?"
Chu Yanhui hesitated, but was finally moved by his submissive attitude and went back home with him.
On the way, he said that he only regarded Huo Sisi as a sister, and their relationship was clear and innocent, so she could rest assured.
But she lowered her eyes and said, "You and Miss Huo are a perfect match, it's just right for you to get married."
When he got home, he solemnly raised his finger and swore.
"If I marry Huo Sisi, the Gu family will go bankrupt! I, Gu He, will not have a good end..."
Chu Yanhui was so frightened that she quickly covered his mouth. He dared to make such a vicious oath. She believed him completely: "Don't! Don't curse yourself like this--"
Seeing that she was soft-hearted, the man felt confident and a hint of victory flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly laughed out loud.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to break up with me?"
He stroked her fair cheek with his hand, and his handsome face with sharp edges rarely showed any seriousness: "I said, Yan Hui is so good, how could he not care about me."
