Chapter 198 I Don’t Like You
It was not until the next day that Gu Zhiyuan was sure that Shen Xubai was avoiding her.
She directly filled in Shen Xubai's address on the tea set she took a picture of, but the delivery staff called to say that the other party refused to accept it and asked her what to do now.
She had it delivered to her home. Looking at the tea set on the table, she was puzzled. He was fine last night, why did he suddenly ignore her?
She picked up the bag beside her and prepared to ask for clarification.
Gu Zhiyuan took a taxi directly to Shen Group.
She went straight to Shen Xubai's office, but was stopped.
Gu Zhiyuan looked at Luo Yan: "What do you mean?"
Luo Yan looked embarrassed: "Boss Shen is busy, Miss Gu, why don't you go to the reception room and sit for a while?"
"Busy? Are there guests inside?"
Luo Yan hesitated and was unable to answer.
Mr. Shen was alone in the office, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Zhiyuan said with a stern face: "Let me go in and ask clearly. If Mr. Shen wants to blame me, I will take full responsibility. It will definitely not be your fault!"
"Hey, Miss Gu..."
Luo Yan was afraid of hurting her and didn't dare to really do it, so he let Gu Zhiyuan break into the house.
After entering the room, Gu Zhiyuan immediately closed the door with his backhand. Before Luo Yan could push it open, he was almost hit in the face by a board.
Everyone in the president's office looked at each other in confusion. Judging from the situation, the president and Miss Gu must be having a conflict.
In the office, Shen Xubai sat at his desk, holding a pen in his hand.
Gu Zhiyuan walked up to him and got straight to the point: "Why are you avoiding me? Why don't you reply to my messages or answer my calls?"
Shen Xubai slowly raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly with a cold look: "Why should I reply to your message?"
Gu Zhiyuan choked, not understanding why his attitude suddenly changed.
"You clearly weren't like this before. You said... you said you wanted me to get to know you better. But now you're suddenly so cold. You have to give me a reason, right?"
Shen Xubai's face was stern, and there was only indifference in his deep dark eyes. His thin lips parted slightly: "If I gave Miss Gu an illusion before, I won't do it again."
Gu Zhiyuan was completely confused: "What do you mean?"
Shen Xubai glared at her, his voice cold and stern: "Miss Gu and I are from two different worlds. I don't have time to play some little girl tricks with you."
"Don't come to me again in the future."
Gu Zhiyuan moved his lips: "I..."
She clutched the bag tightly, her fingertips turning white. She bit her lip, then suppressed her emotions and continued to ask, "Did something happen? Or did I do something wrong?"
She clearly felt that he had a good impression of her, and even thought that she could impress him if she tried harder, but he suddenly turned back to his original distant and cold self.
Even more heartless.
Shen Xubai looked at her red eyes and forced himself to look away: "Miss Gu, if you continue asking, it will be embarrassing."
"I, don't like you."
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Gu Zhiyuan froze, staring at Shen Xubai intently.
He lowered his eyes, his expression nonchalant and a bit cold.
Her nose felt sore and her eyes were sore. She gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from rolling down.
She had been chasing Shen Xubai for so long, and no matter how distant and rejected he was before, she didn't take it seriously, but at this moment, she knew he was serious.
Whatever the reason, she shouldn't insist after he said that.
If she continues to pester me, she will be shameless.
No matter how much she likes him, she will not pester him, nor will she lose her dignity and shamelessly approach him.
Gu Zhiyuan raised his chin: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, for causing you trouble."
"Not again."
Her voice was tearful, and she couldn't help but let the tears roll down her eyes as she spoke, but she didn't wipe them away, just letting them fall drop by drop.
He was unusually calm, even with a hint of proud stubbornness.
She turned around, walked out, and closed the door gently.
Shen Xubai sat at the table, his fingers tightening little by little, and veins on the back of his hands emerged.
With a rustling sound, the metal pen tip pierced into the paper, causing a slight tearing sound and ink to spread along the crack.
…
Gu Zhiyuan tried his best to hold it back, but he couldn't help it as soon as he left the office.
"Ms. Gu..."
"Miss Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Zhiyuan lowered his head and trotted into the elevator without responding to anyone.
Once in the taxi, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears. Her heart ached, and she didn't want to suppress it any longer.
The driver heard her crying, saw her appearance clearly through the rearview mirror, and quickly said, "Girl, are you okay? Were you bullied?"
Gu Zhiyuan sobbed with tears streaming down her face and shook her head: "I... I'm fine... I'll be fine after crying for a while... um..."
The driver didn't dare to ask more questions and had to drive silently.
After arriving home, Gu Zhiyuan was afraid that her aunt would see her and tell her mother, so she ran back to her room without even looking up.
Lying on the bed, the more she thought about it, the sadder and more aggrieved she felt.
"Chen Xubai, you bastard!"
Why does he always have to give her a reason? If he really doesn't like her, why does he allow her to stay by his side and participate in his life?
She seemed to be standing on the clouds one second, feeling that she could reach the moon, and the next second she fell into the abyss, leaving only darkness.
And all this happened so fast that she didn't know why or what she had done wrong.
After she had cried enough and calmed down a little, Gu Zhiyuan gritted her teeth. She was also a man of integrity. Shen Xubai had said that, and if she went any closer, she would be a dog!
She opened her phone and clicked on Shen Xubai's WeChat. Her fingers paused, looking at so many unanswered messages, her heart began to sour. Without hesitation, she directly added him to the blacklist.
Looking at the small group of three people below, she wanted to change the name but didn't know how, so she just disbanded it. At worst, she could rebuild it later.
After doing all this, Gu Zhiyuan threw her phone aside, buried her face in the quilt, and tears flowed uncontrollably, wetting the sheets bit by bit.
But she still felt very uncomfortable.
Why would he do this to himself?
Why is it hot and cold?
What did she do wrong again?
Gu Zhiyuan clenched the bed sheet tightly with her fingers, until her fingertips turned white, and cried silently.
Good Luck finally made it up the stairs, and as if sensing its owner's mood, it circled anxiously beside the bed. It grabbed the sheets with its front paws and tried desperately to climb up, but it was too short to climb up, making whining sounds.
Gu Zhiyuan was immersed in his own emotions and did not hear its voice.
This was the scene that Cen Wan saw when she arrived.
"Zhizhi..." she said softly.
Gu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, turned her head and met Cen Wan's concerned eyes. She was stunned for a moment, her mouth pouted, and tears began to burst out again.
"Wanwan..."
Cen Wan sat down beside the bed, and Gu Zhiyuan threw herself into her arms, hugged her, and started crying loudly.
Cen Wan didn't say anything, but patted her back gently. When she felt that she had calmed down, she slowly said, "It's okay. Don't cry. Your eyes are swollen."
"It won't look good if it gets swollen from crying."
"Good luck is here to protect you."
Gu Zhiyuan sobbed a few times before slowly raising her head and looking at Cen Wan, then lowering her head to look at Hao Yunlai who was standing beside the bed. Her eyes became hot and she was about to cry again.
Cen Wan quickly bent down, picked up Hao Yunlai, and stuffed him into her arms: "Zhizhi has such beautiful eyes, what if she gets hurt by crying?"
Gu Zhiyuan held the furry and warm Good Luck in her arms, rubbing her face against it, and tried hard to control her tears: "I don't want to cry for him anymore!"
Cen Wan went downstairs to get ice water and a towel to apply to Gu Zhiyuan's eyes. She looked at her gently and said, "What happened? Why did it happen so suddenly?"
Gu Zhiyuan gave a brief account of what happened.
Cen Wan frowned: "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Gu Zhiyuan: "But I asked, and he just wouldn't tell me!"
"Maybe you really don't like me." Gu Zhiyuan's tone was very light.
Cen Wan looked at her depressed mood and wanted to say that she felt that Shen Xubai was not indifferent to her, but she couldn't interfere too much in matters of the heart.
"So what are you going to do?"
Gu Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and stroked Good Luck's head again and again: "That's it."
"He's already made it so clear he's refused. Having said that, I don't have the nerve to go any further."
Whatever the reason, she wouldn't ask anymore.
If she asks any more, she will be asking for trouble.
But she might be sad for a while and it will take some time.
As for how long, she wasn't sure.
Cen Wan looked at her red and swollen eyes, feeling distressed. She glanced out the window, wondering if she could get any information from Shen Yixiao.
(You guys want to see the abuse, it’s none of my business.)
