Before Ji Shuyu could refuse, her hand was held and she fell into Gu Xiuyuan's arms the next moment.
"Sorry, she has an appointment."
Gu Xiuyuan hugged Ji Shuyu's shoulders tightly, as if he was swearing ownership.
His domineering and rude behavior made Ji Shuyu somewhat dissatisfied, but she couldn't break free and could only smile apologetically at He Yanyu.
"Sorry..."
"The restaurant is booked, let's go!" He was domineering and overbearing, not even giving her time to say a word.
Ji Shuyu frowned slightly. The height difference made it difficult for her to keep up with his pace.
"Gu Xiuyuan, what are you doing? Let me go." She gritted her teeth to express her dissatisfaction.
He turned a deaf ear to this.
He just wanted to take her away quickly, wanted her to stay away from the lingering ghost He Yanyu, and wanted to take Xiaoyu to see the surprise he had prepared.
"Gu Xiuyuan, I said let go!" Ji Shuyu finally got angry.
At that moment, their steps were pulled forward by a force.
Gu Xiuyuan turned around and saw Xiaoyu's wrist being held in He Yanyu's hand, and his face suddenly darkened.
"She told you to let go, didn't you hear her?" He Yanyu said lightly.
Behind his indifferent expression was a surge of anger that only those who were familiar with him could detect.
Gu Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why does he jump out every time he and Xiaoyu get close?
What right does he have to say such things, and why should he care about his relationship with Xiaoyu?!
Looking at him now, I remembered the conflicts he had caused in the past, and the kiss on the car...
His hands slowly clenched, but he still tried to suppress his anger.
"He Yan, you saved Xiaoyu before, that's why I tolerate you again and again." Gu Xiuyuan said with a cold expression, "Let her go."
He Yan was moved, and held her hand a little tighter.
How could Gu Xiuyuan bear such provocation? However, in front of Xiaoyu, he still tried his best to endure it: "I say it again, let go!"
"What qualifications do you have to ask her to let go?" Ji Shuyu said coldly.
The surging anger in Gu Xiuyuan's chest was instantly extinguished.
For a moment I was not sure what I heard. What?
He looked at the cold little girl in his arms with some disbelief, and then he realized that she was really angry...
"Now it's my turn to speak." She turned and glared at him: "You, let me go."
Gu Xiuyuan's expression froze, "Xiao Yu..."
Ji Shuyu pushed his arm away with all her strength and shook her body.
Gu Xiuyuan nervously reached out to help, but slowly withdrew his hand under her cold gaze.
He was filled with regret, blaming himself for not paying attention to her feelings.
But when he saw He Yanyu, he really couldn't control himself!
He is jealous, he is envious, he... has a strong sense of crisis.
"Xiao Yu?"
He Yanyu spoke lightly, waiting for her response.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at him pretending to be considerate and wanted to punch him hard.
However, he brought this contrast to others himself!
The more domineering he was, the more gentlemanly and considerate He Yanyu seemed. He suddenly remembered Qin Chuan's reminder on the matter with Gu Xiuyu a while ago, telling him to be careful about the method.
But he knew for sure that Gu Xiuyu and He Yanyu were different...
"Let's go." Ji Shuyu said.
Buzz——
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and looked at her in disbelief.
She actually accepted He Yanyu's invitation in front of him?
"We...made an appointment some time ago." He whispered.
"Oh!" Ji Shuyu twisted her wrist and broke free from his hand. "I broke the contract."
After saying that, she turned around.
"Xiao Yu!"
Gu Xiuyuan wanted to chase after him.
He Yanyu stepped in front of him and said, "At this moment, I advise you not to anger her."
Gu Xiuyuan clenched his fists tightly, "Without you, we would be very sad."
"What a shame, I'm right here." He Yanyu put one hand in his trouser pocket, "You don't have to look at me with such contempt. Xiaoyu is single now, and I'm legitimately trying to win over the person I like."
Gu Xiuyuan was furious, but the word "single" seemed to point out his problem.
They are divorced. No matter how jealous he is, he should not exceed his status and should not ignore her feelings when seeing or being with Xiaoyu.
He Yanyu caught up with Ji Shuyu in a few steps and opened the car door for her.
Gu Xiuyuan watched her get into the car, his eyes full of sadness.
Time and again, he watched Xiaoyu and He Yanyi leave, but he was powerless to do anything...
…
He Yanyu drove steadily, a little surprised that she agreed to his invitation.
He could see that she wanted to refuse at first, and he was prepared to be rejected. But when she suddenly agreed, he felt a little uneasy.
"Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat..."
"Yanyu, let's talk!"
She suddenly became so serious that He Yanyu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel. "Let's eat first! There's a Japanese restaurant nearby..."
"Yanyu, you have helped me a lot since we met. I am very grateful to you."
"Xiao Yu..."
"I really consider you a friend."
He tried to interrupt, but he couldn't stop her from speaking.
squeak--
He Yanyu parked the car on the side of the road, surprised by her simplicity and directness.
No, in fact, she had refused it a long time ago.
"Xiao Yu, I've never wanted you to respond to me immediately. I just want a chance."
"But I can't respond anymore." She turned to look at him. "I once loved someone with all my heart and energy, but in the future... I may never have that ability again."
"I know it might be cruel of me to say this, but I don't want to hurt you."
He Yanyu gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling bitter in his heart.
People are always like this, they say they don't want to hurt others, but they do things that hurt others.
"Yanyu, it's really hard to have unrequited feelings."
"How do you know I can't bear this 'hardship'?" He asked, "I liked you before you became Mrs. Gu, when we first met. Even without a response, I still liked so many people."
"That's because you can't see." She said seriously.
She used to live in the old house with her grandmother. When she couldn't see Gu Xiuyuan, she felt that unrequited love was not so unbearable, but when she saw him... it really broke her heart.
"You may think I'm young, but I've experienced the pain of not being loved by my loved one for a long time."
"I really don't want you to be hurt like this because of me." She took a deep breath and said, "If you feel that we can't be friends..."
"That's enough." He Yanyu interrupted.
What a cruel girl! Such a cold rejection, even depriving me of the identity of "friend".
However, he was really unwilling to accept it and didn't understand why he was inferior to Gu Xiuyuan.
He hurt her so deeply and made her so desperate.
Ji Shuyu took a deep breath, feeling guilty but not knowing what to say.
"I'm leaving first, drive carefully."
She unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the car door, but then she heard the sound of the car locking...
