Chapter 2395 Don't Let Go
The cruise ship will sail on the sea for more than twenty hours and arrive in Nancheng the next day.
After getting on the boat, Gu Changhai took Lin Ke to the top-class cabin. After entering the suite, without waiting for him to follow him into the room, Lin Ke turned around and blocked him outside the door.
"I need to catch up on some sleep. Don't call me if you don't want to dock."
"What about lunch and dinner?"
"If I'm hungry, I'll order room service myself."
After saying that, Lin Ke slammed the door shut.
Gu Changhai was turned away and had a lot to say but nowhere to speak. He returned to his suite, which was opposite Lin Ke's room.
Anyway, the entire cruise ship belongs to him, so he can sleep in any room he wants.
He paced the room and finally opened his door so that he could hear any movement she made.
However, as time passed and the night deepened, the door opposite never opened.
People don't share the same feelings, and Lin Ke may not want to hear what he wants to say.
Gu Changhai laughed at himself, poured himself a glass of liquor, drank half of it, and felt that it was even more bitter than the sea water.
Fatigue gradually set in, and he fell asleep on the sofa.
He didn't know how long he slept, but he heard a sound of the window in his dream, and then a soft blanket covered him.
He held the hand and slowly opened his eyes.
"Let go." Lin Ke stared at him in the dim light, her voice cold and resolute.
But perhaps the waiting was too painful and made him lose his mind, or perhaps the dim light concealed the awkward relationship between the two of them. Instead of letting go, Gu Changhai pulled her forward.
Lin Ke lost her balance and sat on the sofa, almost lying on his chest.
"Say it again, let me go." There was grievance and humiliation in her voice.
Gu Changhai also had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't want to let go.
"Lin Ke, you are so brave."
"Is it an offense to you if I close the window for you out of kindness?" She deliberately avoided the topic and struggled to stand up. "If you don't let me go, I'm going to call for help."
Gu Changhai held her back, making her maintain the same position as before, lying on his chest.
"The crew and service personnel are all my people, you can call whoever you want."
"What do you want to do?"
What did he want to do? He just wanted to know how she could bear so much alone.
How can there be such a stupid woman in the world!
How did she get through all these years?
"How could you lie to me for so many years?"
"What did I lie to you about?" she asked.
He was about to cry, but he was still being stubborn.
"I already remembered everything, and you still won't admit it?"
"What do you remember?"
"Thinking back to the first time we met."
She closed her eyes as if in despair, turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
He pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Before studying abroad, I went back to my alma mater to visit my teachers. You had your first period that day, and due to nervousness and anemia, you fainted in the corridor. I happened to pass by your classroom door, and I carried you to the infirmary. That was the first time we met, right?"
She bit her lip, her body trembling slightly: "Let me go."
Gu Changhai sat up, but did not let go of her hand.
"That's why you were so nervous when you bumped into me on the stairs when I went to your house. You thought I recognized you, but unfortunately I forgot about you. You felt wronged and sad. Am I right?"
"So what if it's right? What do you expect me to do? You don't like me." Lin Ke stared at him, a cold light flashing in her obsidian eyes.
Her eyes made Gu Changhai's heart suddenly ache.
Self-blame and guilt filled his heart. What had he done to make a woman who had loved him silently for so many years look at him with such sad and desperate eyes?
"At least you shouldn't have kept it from me for so many years." Gu Changhai tucked her messy hair behind her ears.
"Liking you is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. There's no need to tell you."
Even at this point, she was still avoiding the issue of Shaohua's life experience. Gu Changhai felt sorry for her and was angry at the same time.
"You said that Shaohua's biological father is your first love, so Shaohua is my child. How dare you say it has nothing to do with me?"
"Who said you were my first love? You are so narcissistic." She opened his hand and left the sofa.
Gu Changhai nodded. Very good. Even after saying this, she still refused to admit it.
It seemed like he had no choice but to force her. He deliberately used a sarcastic tone and said, "I've investigated everything. Wasn't it you who entered my room, seduced me, and had sex with me? How dare you do it and not take responsibility for it?"
"I didn't seduce you, I was forced!"
After she finished speaking, she ran towards the door.
Gu Changhai stood up to stop her and hugged her shoulders from behind, "Are you finally willing to admit it?"
Her eyes were filled with crystal liquid, sparkling with a heartbreaking light.
Lin Ke closed her eyes and tears began to flow. "I do like you, but I didn't mean to do that that night. I never meant to destroy the relationship between you and my sister..."
Gu Changhai turned her around and wiped her tears. "You didn't destroy the relationship between Wanqing and me. I just want to know what happened that night. Why did you run into my room? And why didn't you tell me afterwards?"
"Can you please let me go first?"
"Let you go, what if you run away?"
"I'm on your pirate ship, where else can I run to..."
"That's hard to say. What if you jump into the sea? I'll have to find someone to rescue you. If I can't, I won't be able to explain to Shaohua and your mother."
"...Can you please let me sit down? My feet hurt."
So Gu Changhai picked her up and put her on the sofa.
After that, the two sat opposite each other, but his hand was always holding Lin Ke's wrist.
Just like that, Lin Ke told him everything that happened that night...
Her sister Wanqing had many suitors back then, and one of them was still madly in love with her even after she got married.
And that man has a suitor, a willful rich girl.
The rich girl therefore bore a grudge against Wanqing.
When Gu Changhai was drinking in the bar, he was spotted by the rich girl.
The rich girl watched him and Chen Xiaofeng enter the hotel, and called Wanqing directly, asking Wanqing to catch them in the act, wanting Wanqing to also experience the feeling of losing the one she loved.
But Wanqing was having a conflict with Gu Changhai at the time and was in no mood to answer anyone's call, so Lin Ke answered the call for her sister.
After Lin Ke received the call, she was afraid that her sister would be sad, so she did not convey the content of the call truthfully, but just said that the other party had dialed the wrong number.
Then Lin Ke went to the hotel alone, intending to stop Gu Changhai and Chen Xiaofeng's improper behavior.
But when she arrived at the hotel, Chen Xiaofeng had already been driven away by Gu Changhai.
The rich girl's plan failed and she was furious. When she saw Lin Ke coming, she came up with another plan and decided to send Lin Ke into his room. This way, Wanqing would be even more miserable.
The rich girl knocked Lin Ke unconscious, bribed the waiter, opened Gu Changhai's door, and put Lin Ke into his room.
After that, he mistook Lin Ke for Wanqing.
During this time, Lin Ke woke up, but by then it was too late, everything that was supposed to happen had already happened...
