Chapter 164 Generous Girlfriend VS Poor Boyfriend 20
At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Zhiyi returned home.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Xingyuan quickly went to the door. He looked at her, hesitant to speak.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhiyi looked up and asked him as she changed her shoes in the entryway.
Gu Xingyuan took her bag, hung it up for her, and then squatted down to help her take off her shoes. He held her ankle with one hand and put the other hand on her shoes.
He temporarily suppressed his doubts and asked, "Did you eat breakfast? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
"You haven't eaten... that's fine, then you go and make it."
Jiang Zhiyi wasn't actually very hungry, but she still nodded and then named a few more dishes.
"Okay, I'll go now." Gu Xingyuan went straight into the kitchen.
The dishes she wanted to eat were all rather complicated to prepare and would take some time to make, so he had to be quick.
Jiang Zhiyi slowly went to the bathroom to take a shower, her movements very leisurely, and she showered for a long time.
After washing up, she turned on the TV in the living room and sat on the sofa to play on her phone.
When Jiang Zhiyi felt it was about time, she went into the kitchen. She didn't want to eat at all; she just wanted to deliberately torment him.
She saw that Gu Xingyuan had already prepared three dishes and kept them warm to the side.
Gu Xingyuan looked at her, still holding a spatula in her hand. He thought she was hungry and said, "It'll be ready soon. You can go outside and wait a while."
Jiang Zhiyi: "I don't want to eat anymore, it's all your fault for being so slow. I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep. If you're taking a nap later, stay in the guest room and don't bother me."
She ignored his reaction and turned to leave.
The oil was heating in the pan; Gu Xingyuan was just about to stir-fry the last of the bok choy.
The oil was still sizzling, and some of it splattered onto the back of his hand, causing an immediate stinging sensation.
Gu Xingyuan looked down at the red mark left by the burn, wiped away the oil with his other hand, and then turned off the gas.
In the bedroom.
Jiang Zhiyi yawned and lay down on the bed to catch up on sleep. She had stayed up all night with that group of people and was indeed a bit tired; she desperately needed sleep.
Half an hour later, Gu Xingyuan came in.
The bedroom curtains had been drawn long ago, and not a single ray of light could see in; it was pitch black inside, like the dead of night.
Gu Xingyuan turned on a small light and saw that Jiang Zhiyi had already fallen asleep.
He sat down by the bed and gently touched her face, his thumb stroking her smooth cheek.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhiyi woke up in his arms.
Gu Xingyuan held her in his arms, his voice low and husky: "Don't you love me anymore?"
Jiang Zhiyi remained silent and did not speak.
"I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have said those things. Please forgive me. Please give me another chance. I will never do it again."
Gu Xingyuan kept admitting his mistakes.
"I will correct any mistakes I make. I will do everything you say and ask of me. Let's not fight. Please don't treat me like this. I'm really upset. Can we go back to how things were before?"
"Gu Xingyuan, you're really naive. Do you think we're just having a fight right now?"
Jiang Zhiyi spoke in a cold voice.
“Today you say I’m being unreasonable, tomorrow you’ll say I’m vain, and the day after tomorrow you might hit me… You’ll bring up all these things as weapons to hurt me, because deep down you despise me.”
“I didn’t, I really didn’t,” he said.
"You do have it!" Jiang Zhiyi said impatiently. "Don't pretend to be wronged and unwilling to admit it. Don't you know how much I've suffered with you?"
"You used to abuse me every day, and I tolerated it all because I didn't care then, and there were still feelings between us. But what about now?"
“Your heart has begun to wander. You’ve changed. You’ve become impatient and disobedient. Sooner or later, you’ll become unrecognizable and hurt me badly! I have to cut my losses in time.”
"So we should break up..." She was only halfway through her sentence when he silenced her with a kiss.
"Don't break up with me." Gu Xingyuan was extremely depressed. "Please."
Jiang Zhiyi: "Gu Xingyuan, save yourself some face. Do you really want me to push things to the extreme?"
"Please give me one last chance, okay? Let's try to make up. Give me two months, just two months, okay?"
"Why bother?" Jiang Zhiyi frowned.
Gu Xingyuan: "If there are still problems after two months, I will stop bothering you."
Jiang Zhiyi knew his personality well, so she had no choice but to agree. She said, "That's fine, but you have to give me some money as compensation."
"Hmm," Gu Xingyuan responded softly.
He buried his face in her neck, knowing that she had deliberately said those things to provoke him; she knew how to stab him in the heart.
In the past, when they bickered, he could never win an argument with her, and he knew that she wasn't actually that heartless.
As long as he keeps her here, he's sure he can win her over in the time that follows.
...
Gu Conghui was listening to a report from the person in front of him in his office, all about Gu Xingyuan's recent situation.
He suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Zhiyi had approached him before, saying she could help him get information about Gu Xingyuan, but of course, it would cost him money. It was just a small amount of money, so he agreed.
Given the current situation, it is no longer appropriate for her to stay by Gu Xingyuan's side.
Gu Conghui already had several candidates in mind, and these were the people who were suitable to marry Gu Xingyuan.
He thought for a moment, then instructed his secretary, "Organize all your previous chat logs and transfer records with Jiang Zhiyi... Send them to Xingyuan when he finishes his current project."
