Chapter 55 Reluctant to leave?
A hint of displeasure flashed through Gu Jingcheng's mind.
What did Lin Wei see in Shi Yanzhou?
His younger sister publicly questioned his girlfriend, and he just stood there doing nothing.
What kind of man is he!
Gu Jingcheng stood up, wanting to block Lin Wei's way.
Lin's soft, gentle voice reached his ears.
"I was blinded by hypocritical performances in the past."
I gave all my trust and affection to someone who didn't deserve it.
I hurt the friends who truly care about me.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry."
Gu Jingcheng paused, and the hand he had been holding in his trousers loosened slightly.
So, that time Lin Wei pushed her into the car and told him that she hated Gu Xuan to the core.
I want to get a marriage certificate with myself.
It's all true.
So, he almost became her legal husband.
Gu Jingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and a wave of regret surged in his heart.
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.
She quickly covered it up, then pouted with feigned arrogance.
"Hmph, good to know."
Be more discerning next time! If you get love-struck again, I'm really not going to care about you anymore!
Jiang Kai and the others breathed a sigh of relief and smoothed things over.
"Oh, that's a new chapter, that's a new chapter! Come on, let's continue!"
Gu Jingcheng poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.
The spiciness burned all the way from my throat to my stomach.
They've made up, so why is he so worried?
The waiter pushed in a multi-tiered cream cake.
Shi Yanzhou was surrounded and led to the cake.
The candlelight illuminated his handsome face, and his gaze fell tenderly on Lin Wei.
Picking up the cake knife, he cut off the first piece and placed it directly onto the plate in front of Lin Wei.
"Weiwei, this is the first piece of cake I'm giving you for my birthday."
A commotion erupted from inside the private room.
Lin Wei felt a little embarrassed; she knew Shi Yanzhou's feelings for her.
However, it only goes as far as knowing about it.
In this life, she and Shi Yanzhou are destined to be apart.
She wants revenge and to become Mrs. Gu.
We must make those enemies wish they were dead.
After that night with Gu Jingcheng, she no longer had the right to accept the love of other men.
She will live her whole life for revenge.
She lives for the child who died tragically in her womb.
What about other vague and ethereal feelings?
"Thanks"
Lin Wei thanked her softly.
Shi Nuan, with her sharp eyes, nudged Lin Wei towards Shi Yanzhou.
Her brother is decisive and efficient in his actions, but when it comes to relationships...
Yet he was as timid as a mouse.
I like someone but I don't dare to say it out loud, afraid that we won't even be able to remain friends.
Unlike her, who chases after what she likes, and if she can't get it, she steals it.
A forced relationship will never be sweet.
Whether it's sweet or not, that's what Shi Nuan wants.
Even if it's high or low, you should still try it.
Lin Wei was jostled by Shi Nuan, and her body uncontrollably fell to the right.
They were about to bump into the corner of the table next to them, which was piled with bottles.
A warm arm had already firmly wrapped around her waist.
Shi Yanzhou held her protectively in his arms, as if afraid that the cake would get on her dress.
Lin Wei's nose was instantly filled with Shi Yanzhou's refreshing scent, mixed with a faint creamy fragrance.
"Weiwei, be careful."
A few strands of Lin Wei's hair gently brushed against Shi Yanzhou's neck.
His body stiffened for a moment.
The touch of the hair sent a tingling sensation through me.
Shi Yanzhou's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The muscles in the arms wrapped around her waist tightened unconsciously.
His breathing quickened slightly, and he lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the top of her soft hair.
The tip of his nose almost touched her hair.
He could clearly feel a thin layer of sweat on the hand that was holding Lin Wei.
But they couldn't bear to let go.
He longed to lower his head and bury his chin in her fragrant hair;
He tightened his arms, feeling her perfectly nestled in his embrace;
Lin Wei felt warmth around her waist and looked down to see Shi Yanzhou's hand resting on her waist.
She instinctively pushed him away, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Brother Yanzhou, I... I can stand on my own.”
The warmth in Shi Yanzhou's arms suddenly left, leaving a strange emptiness in his heart.
"good."
Gu Jingcheng stared at the two bodies touching, his jawline tightening.
A deep jealousy churned in his dark eyes.
His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to pierce through Shi Yanzhou's hand that was resting on Lin Wei's waist.
His fingers tightened around the wine glass, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
Intense jealousy overwhelmed his reason.
An idea popped into Gu Jingcheng's mind.
He's going to get Shi Yanzhou drunk! So he can't do anything tonight!
Then... take Lin Wei away!
Gu Jingcheng suddenly stood up, picked up the red wine on the table, and walked a few steps to the main table.
He filled the glasses in front of himself and Shi Yanzhou with red wine.
"On such a happy day, eating cake alone isn't enough!"
"Yanzhou, you are the star of the day, I'd like to toast you."
Gu Jingcheng tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, his movements carrying a fierce air.
The atmosphere in the private room froze subtly for a moment.
Everyone could sense that Gu Jingcheng's aura was off at that moment.
Shi Yanzhou smiled; he knew Gu Jingcheng was coming for him.
Even if they are brothers, he will not back down when it comes to the woman he likes.
"Jingcheng is right. On happy occasions, it's good to have a drink."
Gu Jingcheng refilled Shi Yanzhou's and his own glasses.
Round after round.
Shi Yanzhou's alcohol tolerance was not as good as Gu Jingcheng's to begin with, and Gu Jingcheng was deliberately targeting him.
Shi Yanzhou was somewhat drunk.
Her face flushed, and her eyes began to glaze over.
Lin Wei's gaze fell on his slightly flushed cheeks, a hint of worry flashing across her face.
Shi Yanzhou doesn't usually drink alcohol.
Gu Jingcheng, however, became more and more excited as he drank.
10 PM.
The people in the private room were all slumped over, and there were hardly any sober ones.
Shi Nuan had also drunk quite a bit, and leaned back on the sofa rubbing her temples.
Gu Jingcheng stood up, straightened his blue suit, and walked straight to Lin Wei's side.
"Mr. Lin, it's late. Let me take you home."
"Need not."
Lin Wei was wiping the sweat from Shi Yanzhou's forehead with a tissue.
The ambiguous gestures, in Gu Jingcheng's eyes, were like a thorn.
He clenched his fists.
"Don't worry, Jiang Kai and the others will take him back."
"It's not safe for a girl like you to be out so late. I'll take you home."
Let's go.
Through Shi Yanzhou's blurred vision, he saw Gu Jingcheng's tall figure standing in front of Lin Wei.
Lin Wei simply let him pull her wrist and leave with him.
His brow furrowed deeply, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
A state of being both confused and clear-headed.
He thought that as long as he stayed by her side, she would eventually turn around and look at him.
Shi Yanzhou opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
The light in Shi Yanzhou's eyes dimmed slightly the moment the door closed.
So... it was all just wishful thinking on his part?
The person she loves is still Gu Jingcheng?
In the corridor, Gu Jingcheng strode forward, pulling Lin Wei's wrist until it ached.
The oppressive aura emanating from him, coupled with his possessive and jealous nature,
This made Lin Wei feel somewhat flustered.
She couldn't tell how much of Gu Jingcheng's jealousy was genuine.
He abruptly stopped, turned around, and his tall figure completely enveloped her in the shadow of the elevator entrance.
He lowered his head, his deep eyes churning with complex emotions.
"You don't want to leave?"
