Chapter 68 Deep Affection
Lin Wei looked at Gu Jingcheng's face, so close to hers, her blood rushed to her head, and her eyes darted away.
It felt like my heart would explode if I looked at it for even one more second.
"Things shouldn't happen more than three times..."
The phrase flashed through Lin Wei's mind uncontrollably.
This was the fourth time Gu Jingcheng had proposed to her.
This unrestrained game seems to have come to an end.
Her "indulgence" has lasted long enough that she herself is almost lost in this contest.
She won...
Lin Wei took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and met Gu Jingcheng's gaze.
"good."
"Go get your marriage certificate in three days."
"Perfect timing... my dad will be out soon too."
Gu Jingcheng was so nervous that his fingers trembled slightly.
He stared at Lin Wei for a few seconds.
"Okay, I'll come pick you up in three days."

Gu Jingcheng didn't know how he got back to the Cloud Top Villa.
The neon lights flashing past the car window blurred into a blur.
The image of Lin Wei's hand wearing that wedding ring kept flashing through his mind.
Back at the villa, he loosened his tie and tossed it onto the sofa.
Her fingertips unconsciously caressed the ring on her ring finger.
Lin Wei's image played on repeat in his mind.
He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the dazzling city night view.
His reflection was blurred on the glass.
Max, the golden retriever, walked towards him with his tongue lolling out and sat down at his feet.
It emitted a low humming sound.
Its fluffy tail wags.
Gu Jingcheng's heart softened; he seemed to have found someone to share with.
He crouched down and cupped Max's big, furry head in his long, slender hands.
I rubbed it a few times.
"Max, you're going to have a mom soon!"
Max grinned, revealing his signature "golden smile," and his wet breath sprayed onto Gu Jingcheng's wrist.
It makes a "ha-ha" sound.
It nudged Gu Jingcheng's palm with its head, while its tail wagged rhythmically.

Gu's Group
Gu Xuan's slender body sank into the sofa.
Lin Wei's well-behaved and aloof face kept flashing through my mind.
Several months have passed since Lin Wei broke off their engagement.
He never saw Lin Wei smile at him again.
Before, she was as obedient as a kitten in front of him.
Gentle and considerate, with a touch of clinginess.
Gu Xuan unconsciously opened his phone and looked through Lin Wei's WeChat chat.
The WeChat message, as for that red exclamation mark.
Scroll up further to 3 months ago.
She was still gentle and affectionate, sharing everything about her life with him.
Thoughtful and considerate.
"It's raining today, remember to bring an umbrella."
This is followed by a snapshot of a rainy city scene.
"We had lunch at that newly opened Japanese restaurant. The sea urchin was very fresh. Let's come together next time."
"I saw a stray cat today that looks a lot like the little white cat we used to feed."
I wonder how it is now…
Between the lines, fragments of her life were laid bare to him without reservation.
At that time, he acted like an arrogant lord, accepting the tributes from his territory with a clear conscience.
He enjoys the benefits she brings, but despises her advances.
He disliked the dazzling Lin Wei and never bothered to give her any response.
Watching her transform from the beloved only daughter of the Lin family into a sycophant for Gu Xuan, a figure ridiculed by everyone in Jiangcheng.
He enjoyed that feeling, the thrill of being in control.
The more considerate she was to him, the more he disliked her.
But then, she suddenly broke off the engagement.
It was as if a marionette had suddenly gained its own soul.
Lin Wei, that same Lin Wei, appeared vividly before him.
Brilliant, resilient, intelligent, and aloof.
Gu Xuan's throat felt as if it had been rubbed raw by rough sandpaper, dry and tight.
"Gu Xuan, I told you to go and get back together with Lin Wei, why haven't you gone yet?"
Zhao Qiluo walked in and sat on the sofa.
With a stern face.
“Her father, Lin Yaocheng, has been in jail for so long, and the Lin family business is now a mess. This is when Lin Wei is most vulnerable!”
"If you just lower your stance and say some soft words, women need to rely on you most at times like this."
Once she nods and agrees to reconcile with you, get the marriage certificate immediately!
"Now that the deed is done, why worry about her running away?"
Gu Xuan's eyes brightened; his mother was right.
His current attempt to reconcile with Lin Wei is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
How could Lin Wei disagree?
"good."
Gu Xuan drove his sports car through the streets.
Until they found a small stall selling roasted chestnuts.
His memory flashed back to the days he spent with Lin Wei.
The first thing he bought for her on his own initiative was roasted chestnuts.
That day, Lin Wei held the warm brown paper bag in her hands.
Her eyes shone like they were filled with stars. She ate in small bites, a little sugar stain on the corner of her mouth, and smiled foolishly at him.
She said it was the sweetest chestnut she had ever eaten.
Cheap things, cheap happiness.
At the time, he was filled with disdain; the Lin family's daughter had never even eaten roasted chestnuts.
Lin Wei is currently overwhelmed and exhausted. Seeing this...
You must remember that pure joy from back then, right?
Gu Xuan took the roasted chestnuts from the vendor, his fingertips burned, and he subconsciously frowned.
I got back into the car.
The expensive leather seats seemed completely out of place with the bag of roasted chestnuts in his hand.
He hesitated for a moment, then nervously unbuttoned two buttons on his suit jacket.
He carefully stuffed the bag of chestnuts inside, pressing it against the warm chest.
The suit was stretched into a bulging, mismatched shape.
Roasted chestnuts don't taste good when they're cold.
The car was parked downstairs at Linwei Company.
Gu Xuan sat in the car, his heart pounding.
He could even imagine Lin Wei's reaction when she saw his plate of roasted chestnuts.
She smiled sweetly at him, then burst into tears of emotion.
She rushed up to him, hugged him, and said she was willing to marry him.
Time passed by, and people gradually left the office building after get off work.
Every turn of the revolving door made Gu Xuan's heart leap into his throat.
And then, disappointed, it fell again.
As dusk settles, the city's neon lights flow through the twilight.
Finally, that familiar figure appeared.
Lin Wei was wearing a smart charcoal gray suit skirt, her long hair pulled back.
Her long, slender neck was exposed.
Her whole being seemed to sway in the wind like a resilient gardenia.
Gu Xuan's heart pounded.
How come he never noticed Lin Weimei's dazzling beauty before?
He pushed open the car door, took a long stride, and walked straight toward Lin Wei.
His hand unconsciously pressed against the inside pocket of his suit jacket, where he had been warming roasted chestnuts with his body heat.
"slight."
Lin Wei turned her head upon hearing the sound.
The brightly lit lobby lights clearly illuminated her face.
There was not a ripple.
Her gaze lingered on his face for less than a second before landing on Gu Xuan's bulging hand pressed against his chest.
It was as if I saw something dirty.
Gu Xuan's heart raced as he pulled the warm brown paper bag from the inside pocket of his suit.
The sweet scent of chestnuts mingled with the cologne he wore.
A strange aura filled the air.
He handed it over, his voice sounding tender and affectionate.
“Weiwei, I remember you used to love eating this the most. I bought it specially when I passed by that old shop.”
It was just cooked and is still hot.
You must be having a tough time lately...
Don't worry, I'm here for you..."
