Chapter 344 Gu Nansheng, can I kiss you?
Cui Shao wasn't angry. He slowly closed the manual, raised his eyes, and smiled faintly, "Do you think your real enemy is me?"
"I've seen how she painstakingly works for another man. She doesn't mind him going to nightclubs, treats his family with kindness, and scrutinizes every word of his contract. She treats him even better than she treats you."
"That was her first man."
Cui Shao saw Qi Yan's darkened eyes with satisfaction and pushed up his glasses. "If you two didn't look so alike, I would have suspected you were his double."
Qi Yan was furious and about to storm out when Gu Nan happened to push open the door and walked out, "Cui Shao, stop talking nonsense! I've beaten you up."
Cui Shao raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, even with a hint of anticipation, "You heard it, he provoked me first."
Qi Yan's eyes were filled with tears. She held Gu Nan's hand aggrievedly and said, "Sister, what he said is false, right?"
Gu Nan's head hurt again, and he really wanted to slap each of them twice, each one more indecent than the other.
But thinking about the time when she and Qi Yan rolled into bed, it was too cold and seemed heartless, so she touched his head and comforted him: "It's not true, don't listen to his nonsense, you are not anyone's substitute, you are you."
"I'm going home first. You should work hard, be safe, and don't get hurt again."
Qi Yan was reluctant to leave, "Sister, remember to think of me, not others."
Gu Nan nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, let's talk later."
After saying that, he pulled his hand away and stuffed the pajamas he had changed into the box.
Cui Shao wanted to carry her luggage for her, but Gu Nan refused. She didn't have any missing limbs, so there was no need to hand the suitcase to someone else.
Cui Shao withdrew his hand somewhat dejectedly.
Qi Yan recovered his health instantly, rushed over and forcefully snatched her box away.
Gu Nan couldn't snatch it away, so he just let it go.
Gu Nan was about to check out, and Cui Shao said, "I'm going to check out."
Gu Nan was a little embarrassed.
Although the original intention of checking into the hotel was not to have sex, there was Qi Yan after all. It felt weird for Cui Shao to help her check out.
Qi Yan snorted and complained quietly, "He checked out while we were still in bed. He just wanted to take you away from me."
Cui Shao sneered, "You should be thankful that this hotel is not under my name, otherwise you would have no choice but to climb out the window and fall to your death today."
Qi Yan: "Look! He cursed me!"
Gu Nan: “…”
That's enough, you two childish ghosts.
Gu Nan kept his mouth shut and refused to say a word.
After leaving the hotel, the car was already waiting at the door. The clever doorman took the suitcase from Qi Yan's hand and put it in the trunk, then bent down and opened the car door for Gu Nan.
Cui Shao thought he didn't see anything and had already walked to the other side and got on the car.
After sticking around for a while and talking a lot of nonsense, Gu Nan finally got in the car.
The partition between the back seat and the driver's seat was raised, and the silence between the two made the small space seem a bit claustrophobic.
It wasn't the first time Gu Nan rode in Cui Shao's car, but it was a very awkward experience. After a long while, she broke the silence and said to Cui Shao, "Thank you for giving me a ride."
Cui Shaoben closed his eyes to rest, then opened them upon hearing this. "We've known each other for so many years, why do we feel so distant?"
He seemed genuinely confused, his tone serious.
Gu Nan thought that this was not unfamiliarity, this was embarrassment. Who could talk to someone who liked him without any reservations but had just seen him kissing another man?
Cui Shao seemed to know what she was thinking and said calmly, "Don't feel embarrassed. It's human nature."
Gu Nan turned his gaze away and looked out the window, feeling even more embarrassed.
Cui Shao didn't finish his words, and continued, "If it were me in a situation like today, I might have a harder time controlling myself than you."
Gu Nan began to pick at the seams of his pants.
"Qi Yan is young, has a great figure, knows how to act coquettishly, and is very receptive. It's normal for you to be attracted to him. Love between men and women is natural, and I can understand it." Cui Shao's voice was calm, as if he was simply stating a fact. It seemed rational, but in fact it was his inferiority that could not be concealed.
This is very similar to the inferiority complex that Qi Yan showed when he was jealous and slandered Cui Shao, praising himself as younger and more beautiful.
It's just that Cui Shao is more mature than Qi Yan and knows how to be patient. Rather than praising Qi Yan, it's more like convincing himself -
Qi Yan has a lot of advantages. It's normal for Gu Nan to like him. You should learn to look at it in a more open-minded way.
His humility is even worse than Qi Yan's back then.
But he shouldn't be like this. He is a child of destiny and a business tycoon. He should be standing in a towering skyscraper, looking down at everyone. He should be able to plan and decide life and death, instead of showing such fragile emotions in front of her.
Gu Nan couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted, "Cui Shao, stop talking."
Cui Shao was silent for two seconds, then said, "Sorry, I still want to say something."
“I thought a lot before opening the door.”
He wondered what he would do if the two of them had already done everything.
Or maybe you've just gotten down to business and are having a great time?
Should he calmly take Gu Nan away, or go back outside and wait for them to finish?
Cui Shao prepared for the worst, but God seemed to have mercy on him. Gu Nan was fully clothed, his skin was clean, and even his expression was sober. The scene was not as heartbreaking as he had imagined.
He was happy for a moment, but soon realized his hypocrisy and vulgarity.
What he liked was Gu Nan's soul, not her body.
"You and I haven't even held hands once in the truest sense of the word." Cui Shao said, "I actually have no right to interfere with who you like or who you want to be with."
“I’m the least competitive of them all.”
Gu Nan looked back at Cui Shao. The eyes hidden behind the lenses were heavy and deep. When they looked at each other, it was as if they were being sucked into the vast and deep ocean by the whirlpool inside. There was a suffocating heaviness in all directions.
"So you have to give up." Gu Nan said softly.
"No." Cui Shao said, "Although I don't like that word, but what if?"
What if one day, Gu Nan is willing to pick out his old cabbage stem from a bunch of fresh and delicious young cabbages to taste?
For a moment, Gu Nan wanted to scold him for being stubborn.
You are right to hate it. There are not so many chances and lucks in this world. You should give up. Giving up is the most correct choice.
But she couldn't curse, not even a word. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, constantly supplying oxygen to her body, but she had difficulty breathing.
After a long time, she found her voice again, "Sometimes I really doubt that I am a fishhook."
Once hooked, they have to tear their skin and flesh to escape, or if they can't escape at all and are hooked to death, they can only be dragged ashore and disemboweled.
Cui Shao laughed, "I'm willing to take the bait."
Gu Nan looked at him smiling, his expression complicated, "You're still smiling."
His eyes curved slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said as briskly as possible: "Gu Nansheng, can I kiss you?"
