memorable
Gu Yun Shen wore a dark gray suit, with the jacket draped over his arm and a crisp white shirt with the collar slightly open.
He was aloof and indifferent, with a slight frown between his brows.
Qiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and gave a perfunctory smile: "Why did President Gu come here without telling me beforehand?"
Gu Yunshen's face was dark and his tone was icy: "Give me a heads-up? So I could give you time to run away?"
As he spoke, he stepped into the study.
He slammed the door shut behind him.
Qiao Yu's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"President Gu..."
"President Gu..."
Yang Yu and Xida's terrified voices could be heard from outside the door.
Gu Yun Shen glanced at her coldly, but his deep voice replied to the outside: "I just wanted to say a few words to her. What, did you think I was going to do something?"
The area outside the door immediately fell silent.
Qiao Yu held her phone tightly the whole time. Gu Yun Shen's eyes flickered as he saw the phone she was hiding behind her back, which lit up and then went dark.
A smirk played on his lips: "You saw everything?"
Qiao Yu: "..."
"Ling Chuan also posted... Misunderstanding? Disappointed? Heartbroken?"
Gu Yunshen placed his suit jacket on the sofa and sat down calmly.
Qiao Yu didn't respond to his sarcastic remarks.
Seemingly waiting for no response from her, Gu Yun Shen tilted his head slightly to look at her, his eyes completely black.
"Qiaoqiao, you two are not suitable, and there's absolutely no way you two can be together. Who is he? He made a name for himself in the US at the age of 20. How many Asian people can do that in the entertainment industry? His experience is something you can't even imagine."
Qiaoqiao, don't be so stubborn. I know you're the most suitable person for me. I know you're worried about all sorts of women around me. I've said it before, I only want you. If you agree, I can immediately announce to the world that you are my Mrs. Gu, and we can even get our marriage certificate right away.
"If you want to continue acting or singing after we get married, I'll support you. The company's resources can also be prioritized for you..."
"President Gu..."
Qiao Yu interrupted him, her body trembling.
He spoke with such conviction that it was as if she were truly his woman.
Gu Yun Shen was very dissatisfied with Qiao Yu's sudden interruption, but he didn't say anything more, instead squinting at her.
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, but I can't accept this. You're the boss, and I'm just an artist signed to the company. There's only this between us. Besides, my contract only has three months left..."
Gu Yunshen stood up abruptly with a grim expression and slowly walked towards her.
"Qiao Yu, don't forget who protected you all these years. Do you think I'll let you go?"
Qiao Yu, her face pale, retreated in terror, until Gu Yun Shen stopped two steps away from her.
He leaned down slightly, a hint of anger in his dark eyes, and his voice was ruthless.
"Qiao Yu, besides Canyu Entertainment, who else would want you?"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand toward her earlobe, which was gradually turning red with anger, but Qiao Yu turned her head away.
Gu Yun Shen's hand froze in mid-air.
"Who would want a female celebrity who becomes deaf due to stress?"
His words were warnings, each one striking a nerve.
Qiao Yu's body jolted, and her phone nearly fell to the ground.
Her once clear and bright eyes were now filled with bloodshot. She looked at Gu Yun Shen with a deep gaze and sneered, "Is Mr. Gu threatening me?"
Gu Yun Shen squinted at her nonchalant attitude, seemingly not wanting to push her to the brink, and calmed himself down: "Qiao Qiao, I hope you'll be smarter. You're quite popular lately, you have a magazine cover shoot tomorrow, don't forget."
After he finished speaking, he walked out, picked up his coat from the sofa, opened the door, and went out.
Yang Yuxi rushed into the study and saw Qiao Yu's face was pale, her lower lip was tightly bitten, and a trace of bright red blood was about to overflow.
"Qiaoqiao, he's gone. What did he say to you? Don't scare us..."
Qiao Yu shook her head silently and walked blankly toward the bedroom, her slender figure exuding loneliness.
Gu Yunshen actually threatened her.
During her most difficult time, he descended like a god and protected her.
That night three years ago.
The snow was exceptionally heavy. Qiao Yu braved the wind and snow and returned to the hotel exhausted. She parted ways with Yang Yu in front of the room and swiped her card to enter.
The room was pitch black. She instinctively reached out and turned on the light switch, but there was no response after several attempts.
Just as she was about to give up and grope her way forward to make a phone call, a faint breathing sound, like a ghost, came from the direction of the bed.
She froze on the spot. The man was like a beast in the darkness, silently lurking there, his purpose unknown.
And so she walked into this dangerous place without any warning.
Her breathing rose and fell rhythmically in the darkness, each breath striking her nerves heavily.
"Who...who is there?" she managed to squeeze out, her voice trembling.
He quickly turned around and ran towards the door.
Later, she remembered that someone was chasing her from behind, and she happened to open the door at that moment.
The light in the corridor was particularly dazzling at that moment. She ran out in a daze, and a blurry figure caught her.
She could no longer hear what was said.
When she woke up, she learned that it was Gu Yunshen who had saved her. She had never seen the person who appeared in her room before. Yang Yu only said that President Gu had completely resolved the issue and told her not to worry.
After that, Qiao Yu personally went to thank Gu Yunshen, but he smiled gently and said, "It was nothing, no need to remember it."
Three months later, Gu Yunshen took over Canyu Entertainment and became its boss.
A rising star in the entertainment industry, his abundant resources and refined demeanor have made him a sought-after figure in the industry.
His few words on Weibo shattered those people's "dreams".
Gu Yunshen (V): I already have someone I like, please don't bother me.
......
The following day.
The sky finally cleared up, and the long-awaited warm sun pierced through the clouds, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days.
The bedroom curtains were wide open, letting in the blinding light.
Qiao Yu leaned against the headboard, stunned, her eyes filled with a deathly stillness.
I don't know how much time passed, until Yang Yu pushed the door open and entered.
Yang Yu walked over, muttering, "Qiao Qiao, you're awake. We have a magazine shoot today, let's get ready..."
Qiao Yu looked calmly at her lips, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
Yang Yu seemed to realize something, suddenly stopped talking, and panicked in disbelief.
He hurriedly stepped forward and took Qiao Yu's hand, his hand trembling slightly in his panic, tears welling up in his eyes.
Qiao Yu gently patted her to comfort her, a smile still lingering in her eyes.
"I'm fine, I'll be alright in a couple of days." Her voice was barely audible.
Unable to hear her own voice, Qiao Yu remained silent, her eyes lowered.
At times like this, she just wants to be alone.
Yang Yu knew what she had been carrying in her heart to become like this: Ling Chuan's misunderstanding and Gu Yun Shen's threats.
......
Photography studio.
Today's cover shoot was booked long ago, and Yang Yu tried to negotiate by phone several times but failed.
Qiao Yu eventually stepped into the photography studio.
Inside the photography studio, huge shadowless lights emitted dazzling light, pouring into every corner without reservation.
In front of the backdrop, Qiao Yu wore a pure white, fitted fishtail dress. The delicate fabric shimmered softly under the gentle light.
The fishtail design at the hem of the skirt, like flowing waves, perfectly hugs her figure and outlines her curves just right.
She turned slightly to the side, one hand elegantly resting on her waist, the other hand hanging naturally at her sides.
He slightly raised his chin, his eyes deep and captivating.
The photographer's camera kept clicking away as Qiao Yu changed her poses one after another.
Some staff members who were watching from a distance started chatting amongst themselves.
"Why did Qiaoqiao kick us out for today's shoot? It's not like we haven't seen it before."
"Exactly. Her agent came in today and said the set needed to be cleared. What's with the attitude? Just because she has a rumor with a movie star and gets some buzz, she thinks she can be arrogant now."
"Qiaoqiao is not that kind of person."
"So what happened today...?"
......
Standing behind the photographer, Yang Yu listened to these gossips and really wanted to go over and slap them all, but for Qiao Yu's sake, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and endured it.
Xida clutched her off-white cashmere shawl tightly to her chest, her back to the people. Whenever the photographer said something, she would find an excuse to go up and say a few words to Qiao Yu.
"Assistant, step back! What are you doing?"
Despite her eyes being red from being scolded by the photographer, she still said that Qiaoqiao wasn't feeling well that day and was worried about her condition, so she often went up to ask about her situation.
In reality, Qiao Yu was reading Xi Da's lips.
Every time the photographer said something, Xida would go up and give a brief explanation.
The feeling during filming isn't something Xida can always interrupt.
"Teacher Qiao, lean your body a little more, clear your mind a little more, and imagine yourself in a tranquil sea."
The photographer's voice traveled across the empty film set, but it didn't reach Qiao Yu's ears.
She could only read what the photographer was saying by observing his lip movements, but even that wasn't always accurate.
Unlike Xida and her, they had trained together.
Xida stood there trembling slightly, her face pale with fright, and then mouthed the photographer's last words.
Qiao Yu was able to understand and cooperate with the filming.
The photographer's brows furrowed more and more as he took more and more pictures, and his complexion grew increasingly grim.
He put down his camera, his face grim. "Teacher Qiao, look at me, look at me. What's wrong with you today?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Yu quickly waved for Xida to go to Qiao Yu's side to take care of her, while she herself went up to the photographer and explained with a forced smile.
"Teacher Li, I'm so sorry, Qiaoqiao isn't feeling well today. As you know, I tried to reschedule, but the higher-ups didn't agree. Do you have any suitable photos from the previous shoot that we can use for now?"
“Manager Yang, I can’t deliver a good film if we don’t make one. We have to finish filming today.”
......
Qiao Yu knew that the photographer was very dissatisfied with today's shoot, but luckily she had prepared a backup plan and had Xida give her the walnut milk that she had prepared in a water glass.
Xida hesitated, not wanting to take it, but Qiao Yu became a little serious and she couldn't resist, so she had to hand the water cup to her.
Two minutes later.
"Oh no! Qiaoqiao is having an allergic reaction! Quick... quick, get her to the hospital!" Xida shouted anxiously.
He draped the cashmere shawl over Qiao Yu, partially covering her face as he led her outside.
Yang Yu, who was still communicating, took the opportunity to apologize and hurriedly chased after him.
The photographer and everyone else: "..."
That evening, Gu Yunshen called and gave Qiao Yu a severe dressing-down.
"Qiao Yu, there's a limit to how much you can indulge in your whims..."
As Yang Yu listened to the phone call, she glanced at the person curled up on the sofa beside her, knees bent and arms wrapped around their knees.
With her head drooping and a red, swollen ring around her mouth, Qiao Yu was both annoyed and amused.
"Mr. Gu, Qiao Qiao has an allergic reaction. The cover shoot has been rescheduled for next month. Please calm down."
"The variety show starts filming next week. If Qiao Yu causes any more problems, she can expect a sky-high penalty for breach of contract."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Yang Yu rolled her eyes at the now completely black screen.
He sat down next to Qiao Yu, sighed deeply, and gestured with his hand.
[You knew you were allergic, but you still drank it. That's very dangerous. You can't do that again.]
Qiao Yu leaned her head against her knees, looking at Yang Yu with a calm and unwavering gaze and nodded.
Fortunately, Yang Yu gave her a forced smile and let her go.
