"Uh huh, what's wrong?"
"Come to think of it, we don't know each other very well," Gu Yuqing said. "How about we each tell a story about ourselves to help us get to know each other better?"
Chen Ya put down his phone and said sincerely, "If, I mean if, if I were to fall in love with you, it would definitely be very comfortable."
"Yohu? You discovered all this? How did you find out?"
"Because your relationship progress bar is very obvious, and you've been the one guiding our relationship from the beginning. You also have a very comfortable personality. In short, your love quotient must be very high."
"Are you moved? Do you want to date me? I can't help it, I just have such a good personality." Gu Yuqing smiled from ear to ear and waved her finger in front of his nose. "It's a pity that we can't date. I said it from the beginning."
"That's a pity."
"Do you think I'm arrogant and self-righteous?" Gu Yuqing asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm too stratified and look down on you, which makes you a little angry?"
Chen Ya smiled and said, "Since you already know everything, why bother telling it?"
Gu Yuqing slapped his thigh and said, "I knew you would think so! Listen to me, I'm going to tell you why I can't fall in love, listen carefully."
"Hmm?" Chen Ya quickly showed an attitude of listening attentively.
"I'm not my mother's biological daughter. My father is a second-married woman. I have a younger brother and a younger sister. My biological mother and my father divorced by mutual agreement. My current stepmother was my father's secretary at the time. Do you understand?"
Chen Ya put away his frivolous expression and nodded seriously. Gu Yuqing's words sounded like a tragedy.
"In other words, my stepmother became the mistress and squeezed out my biological mother. That's the story," Gu Yuqing explained again, fearing that he didn't understand. "On the day my father confronted my mother, my mother carried me to the top floor of his company and said she would jump with me and die in front of their company. There was even news about it at the time."
After saying that, Gu Yuqing took out her cell phone from under the pillow, opened the photo album, and really started searching in front of Chen Ya. After a long time, she finally found an old newspaper photo at the bottom of the album.
On the photo, large bold letters read, "The wife and daughter of a multi-billionaire CEO attempted suicide by jumping off a building, but were moved by his eloquence and persuaded. The crowd watched..." The words after that were too blurry to make out clearly.
Next to the ant-like small words below, there is a photo of a woman holding a little girl.
"Look, this is my mom, and this is me. The news is lying. She wasn't moved by her eloquence or anything. She came down here purely because my dad agreed to her terms and agreed to a divorce."
Chen Ya looked at the photo, not knowing what expression to make, and could only nod blankly.
"This photo shows me when I was 8 years old. At that time, my father's assets were only 100 billion. Look at me, wasn't I cute when I was little?"
"Cute."
"Isn't it cute? I just came down from the top floor of more than 20 floors, and the wind made my face numb, but I looked expressionless as if nothing had happened. Isn't it cute?"
"It's so cute."
Gu Yuqing admired her childhood for a while, then put away her phone and continued:
"I was still young and not afraid of death at all. My mother told me we were going to jump off the building. I was very excited and even imagined flying in the sky. Later, I didn't jump and felt very sorry... What did you do?"
Before she could finish her words, Chen Ya had already hugged her tightly. Slowly being held tighter in Chen Ya's arms, Gu Yuqing felt both fulfilled and safe.
"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to hug you. Okay, now that I'm done hugging you, continue."
"It was quite comfortable just now. Keep hugging me and I'll continue talking."
Gu Yuqing changed her position and lay on Chen Ya, continuing, "The agreement my mom and dad reached at the time was that no matter how many children his mistress gave birth to, I would have to inherit our family's company."
Chen Ya listened quietly without interrupting. Gu Yuqing continued:
"My dad agreed. Whether he was genuinely touched or worried about the negative impact of my mom and I dying outside his company, he agreed anyway.
"My mother loved her children, and she wanted to use her last bit of strength to get something for me. But no one could have imagined that our family business would grow so big. The question of who would inherit the company in the future even attracted the attention of the leadership.
"With the birth of my two lovely siblings, the agreement became increasingly unacceptable to my stepmother, and even to my father, because I was going to get married eventually."
Gu Yuqing turned to look at Chen Ya and smiled slightly:
"Although they never told me this explicitly, I knew what they were worried about, so when I was about ten years old, I announced to them that I would never fall in love or get married in my life.
"So, I can't date, and I won't get married. Now you should understand why I told you from the beginning that I wouldn't date."
After hearing this, Chen Ya took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
He paused and asked Gu Yuqing, "Have you told anyone else these words?"
Gu Yuqing shrugged. "For the upper class, this matter has almost become a semi-open secret. Many people know about it. I haven't told anyone specifically. This is the first time I've spoken out like this."
Chen Ya said: "Can I hug you again?"
Gu Yuqing didn't say anything, turned around, put her arms around his shoulders and hugged his neck tightly.
