Chapter 101: Clearly in Love
After returning home, Lin Du buried himself in the quilt. He forced himself to sleep, because when he fell asleep, he would not think so much, and would not be so painful.
Although his thoughts were in a mess, his mind was unusually clear. He was not sleepy at all, and just stared blankly at a certain place.
He couldn't help but wonder if he was seeing things. After all, there were many people who looked alike.
With this lucky mentality, Lin Du called Gu Nichi.
Gu Nichi quickly picked up the phone, and Lin Du asked with a guilty conscience: "Gu Nichi, how is your work going?"
After a moment of silence, Gu Nishi spoke up: "I'm not done yet, but I'll be done soon. Do you miss me?"
Lin Du hummed softly, his tone trembling slightly: "I miss you."
Gu Niechi's doting laughter came: "I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home. If there's anything you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."
"No need, just come back and accompany me."
Gu Niechi's voice was gentle and itchy: "Do you like sticking to me so much?"
Lin Du bit his hand, tears streaming down his face: "Yeah."
Gu Niechi smiled dotingly: "Okay, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Du curled up in the quilt.
There was nothing unusual in Gu Xinchi's tone, and he thought maybe he really had seen it wrong.
After accompanying Su Wenlang to buy things, Gu Yinchi sent someone to send him back.
Afterwards, he returned to the luxury store. He had just spotted a bracelet at first sight. It was a simple style that was very suitable for Lin Du.
The phone rang again, and Gu Penchi couldn't help but smile. But when he saw Shen Zhichu's name, his smile fell again, with a hint of loss between his brows.
"Is there something?" Gu Yinchi asked indifferently, looking at the bracelet in his hand. He thought Lin Du would look very beautiful wearing it.
"Drink with me." Shen Zhichu's voice was a little hoarse, and he was obviously not in a good condition.
After putting away the bracelet, Gu Yanchi refused without hesitation: "I'm busy."
"Come on, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Gu was so bored and annoyed that he wanted to go back as soon as possible and put the bracelet on Lin Du himself.
But Shen Zhichu took the initiative to ask him out for a drink, which showed that this old virgin must be in a bad mood at the moment.
As soon as Chu Xu arrived at Free, he saw Gu Yinchi's figure. He frowned and clenched his fists fiercely.
It's true that a dog will always eat shit.
Lin Du is devoted to him, but he still comes here to look for another man. What a beast.
He cursed Gu Nichi bitterly in his heart. He wanted to see if the person Gu Nichi was looking for was Su Wenlang. Chu Xu hesitated for a moment and followed him.
The bodyguards at the door nodded at him and returned to their posts.
Coming to the top floor of Free, this is Shen Zhichu’s private place.
Seeing that Gu Xichi came to find Shen Zhichu, Chu Xu felt relieved.
He originally wanted to settle accounts with Shen Zhichu. Shen Zhichu knew that the engagement news was fake, but he deliberately didn't tell him, making him look bad in front of him. It was simply despicable.
However, since Gu Lianchi also came to see Shen Zhichu, there was no need for him to go over. After all, he really disliked Gu Lianchi.
Even though he is the person Lin Du loves deeply, he still cannot change his inherent opinion of him.
He was about to turn around and leave, but Gu Penchi's voice came over. Chu Xu froze in place after hearing his name.
His body somehow hid in the corner, he actually wanted to listen to how they usually talked about him.
Gu leaned lazily on the sofa, looking at Shen Zhichu's depressed look, and raised the corner of his mouth in disdain: "Who are you showing this lifeless look to? I'm not Chu Xu."
Shen Zhichu poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Gu Xinchi, raising his eyebrows slightly: "You already have a child, but you are still so vicious."
Gu Niechi raised his chin proudly: "Are you jealous of me?"
Shen Zhichu shrugged and spread his hands: "Indeed."
"How long do you plan to torture each other with Chu Xu?" Gu Yanchi picked up the wine glass but did not drink it, just shook it a few times.
Ever since Lin Du became pregnant, he had not touched cigarettes or alcohol for a long time, fearing that the smell would make him uncomfortable.
"I don't know." Shen Zhichu took a sip of wine, his tone full of helplessness, "If we can be entangled for a lifetime, it's not impossible."
Gu Nichi snorted coldly: "You can do it, but can he? Can his father do it?"
Shen Zhichu paused, his brows tightened.
"With Chu Xu's father's character, it's impossible to let him keep wasting time like this. Believe it or not, Chu Xu will be forced to get married soon." Gu Yanchi put down his wine glass and reminded, "He doesn't have the strong ability to withstand pressure like you. Compromise is his final outcome."
Shen Zhichu leaned back on the sofa, his expression solemn: "You know, I can't let this happen."
"Haha, that's great." Gu Nichi stood up and was about to leave.
Chu Xu, who was hiding outside, felt as if his heart was torn apart. Every breath he took was accompanied by severe pain, almost suffocating him.
In this relationship, he has always been a coward. If Shen Zhichu hadn't been struggling to support him, their relationship would have ended long ago.
Chu Xu held onto the wall and tried to leave with difficulty, but when he heard Lin Du's name, he returned to the corner.
"What about you? What are you and Lin Du going to do?" Shen Zhichu raised his eyes. Although Gu Zengchi hid his anger very well, he still found a hint of panic in his deep eyes.
This doesn't sound like slacking.
"You know clearly that he and I are just getting what we need." Gu Yanchi sat down again and drank the wine in one gulp. "He gave birth to my child and I treated his sister's illness. That's all."
"Oh? Just like that? No feelings at all?" Shen Zhichu raised his brows and looked at Gu Xichi.
Gu Yanchi frowned and said, "You know he betrayed me. If my father hadn't forced me to get married and have children, how could I have been playing the game of chasing his wife to the crematorium with him every day?"
Shen Zhichu raised his eyebrows with a complicated expression: "Really? But I don't think you have no feelings for Lin Du at all, right?"
Gu Nishi sneered contemptuously and leaned back on the sofa: "Even if you keep a dog for a long time, you will have some feelings for it more or less. What does this prove? It's all just a show."
Shen Zhichu sighed and shook his head: "But I think Lin Du's feelings for you are genuine!"
His heart ached as if it were hit by a heavy hammer. Gu Xinchi's body shook involuntarily. His fingertips twitched and he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
His temples were beating violently. Gu Lianchi pursed his lips and looked out the window. "He's not as good as you think. Otherwise, why would he betray me and conceal his physical condition? If I hadn't changed his medicine, he wouldn't be pregnant with my child now."
Shen Zhichu shook his head helplessly. In his eyes, Gu Lianchi had clearly lost control of his heart, but he still refused to admit it.
"Are you sure you can let him go after everything is over?" Shen Zhichu asked.
After a long silence, Gu Yanshi slowly said, "Of course."
Shen Zhichu did not continue as his persuasion was futile.
He knew that some people might really hit a wall, and only turn back after their heads were broken and bloodied.
He raised the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, realizing that he was also this kind of person.
Chu Xu turned off the recording on his phone with trembling hands. He bit his back teeth fiercely and wanted to rush in several times.
But reason told him that rushing in would not solve any problems. What he had to do was to let Lin Du know Gu Banshi's evil face and stay away from him.
