"Rou Rou's parents died unexpectedly early. She treated you and me like her own parents. How could you do such a despicable thing!" Xiao Chun shouted angrily, his voice filled with disappointment and anger towards Bai Xin. "Bai Xin, you really did something outrageous!"
His words were like a slap in the face to Bai Xin, turning her face instantly pale. She hadn't expected Xiao Chun to reprimand her so harshly, and she was stunned.
However, Xiao Chun showed no sign of stopping. He continued, "No wonder Wanqing did so many vicious things later. I couldn't understand why before, but now I know—she learned it all from you!" His words revealed his disappointment in Wanqing and his disgust for Bai Xin.
"Shut up!" Bai Xin finally came to her senses. She coldly scolded, "A grown man with such womanly compassion! How can you possibly succeed!" Her words were full of disdain and sarcasm, as if Xiao Chun was nothing more than an incompetent coward in her eyes.
She looked calmly at Xiao Chun and said, "Think about it carefully. We have no foundation in Nancheng for a long time. If we don't hold on tightly to the Gu family now, how will we survive? Qingyan has such deep feelings for Wanqing, and now that Wanqing is gone, Qingyan still feels very guilty towards her."
As time goes by, feelings will gradually fade. Men, you know, will soon fall in love with other women. Do you think Qingyan will still care about us then?
Upon hearing Bai Xin's words, Xiao Chun felt a complex mix of emotions. Bai Xin snorted coldly, glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "You didn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity!" Her words were filled with dissatisfaction and mockery towards Xiao Chun.
At this moment, Gu Qingyan across from him was completely drunk. His head was leaning back in his chair, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was even and deep. His face was flushed, and his lips were slightly parted, as if he were having a beautiful dream.
“Brother Qingyan,” Xiao Wanrou gently patted Gu Qingyan’s shoulder, making sure he really wasn’t reacting. She looked up, her eyes questioning Bai Xin. Bai Xin nodded, saying succinctly, “Proceed as planned.” Her voice was cold and resolute.
Following Bai Xin's instructions, Xiao Wanrou stood up and gently helped Gu Qingyan to his feet. Gu Qingyan was barely conscious after drinking, and it took her considerable effort to lift him. She then slowly made her way to the nearest elevator to the private room.
As soon as she reached the elevator, a man approached her, handed her a card, and whispered, "The room information is on this." With that, he pulled his hat down low and quickly left.
She swiped her card to open the door, fumbled for the light switch, and pressed it. The room instantly lit up, revealing a simple yet luxurious decor. The entire room was decorated in black and white, without a single superfluous color. Cold and noble, just like Gu Qingyan herself.
Xiao Wanrou carefully supported him, trying to avoid swaying his body so as not to make him uncomfortable. She gently helped him to the bedside and then slowly laid him down. During this process, Gu Qingyan's head tilted slightly to one side, and his breathing became deeper.
His once-sharp suit was now slightly wrinkled, his tie askew, the knot loose, revealing a hint of paleness on his neck. Because of the stuffiness, Gu Qingyan grabbed his collar and tugged at it haphazardly; his shirt collar was open, several buttons undone, revealing glimpses of his taut muscles.
His hair was slightly messy, with a few strands falling across his forehead, adding a touch of unruly charm.
Xiao Wanrou stood up, took a deep breath, and began to carefully tidy his clothes. She gently unbuttoned Gu Qingyan's suit jacket, her movements exceptionally soft, as if afraid of waking him. The suit jacket was taken off and folded on a chair beside her. The buttons of her shirt were undone one by one, and a faint blush involuntarily rose on her face.
After finishing these tasks, she stood up to go to the restroom to fix her makeup. However, just then, Gu Qingyan suddenly grabbed her hand and held on tightly. Startled, she turned around and found that Gu Qingyan had already woken up. His eyes were hazy and deep, as if he could see right through her.
Xiao Wanrou pursed her lips, her heart pounding with nervousness. She stammered, "Brother Qingyan, you're drunk. I brought you up here to rest..." Her voice trembled, and she turned her head away, not daring to look Gu Qingyan in the eye.
She tried speaking several times, but Gu Qingyan didn't respond. She moved closer and found that Gu Qingyan had fallen asleep again. Only then did her heart relax.
She leaned down, carefully observing Gu Qingyan. His face appeared even more handsome under the light, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose, and thin, tightly closed lips. She reached out and gently stroked his sculpted features and angular jawline.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyan opened his eyes and murmured, "Wanqing, is that you? My Wanqing, is it you who has returned? Are you still blaming me? Is that why you refused to come back to my side? Wanqing, Wanqing..." His voice was gentle, filled with love.
Xiao Wanqing has been dead for so long, yet Gu Qingyan still can't let her go.
Xiao Wanrou was stunned. Gu Qingyan's eyes held an unwavering affection, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She felt heartache and regret, as well as a strange sense of jealousy and anger. She began to envy her sister Xiao Wanqing for having such deep love from Gu Qingyan, and she was angry at why she couldn't receive such profound love from someone else.
However, she knew she couldn't let herself get caught up in these emotions, couldn't let her feelings interfere with her plans. So, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
However, she still hesitated a little, feeling that their first meeting was too rushed.
Just then, Gu Qingyan began to murmur Xiao Wanqing's name again, her confused eyes looking at the blurry figure in front of her that resembled Xiao Wanqing. Suddenly, she choked up, "Don't go, Wanqing."
Hearing the sobbing, Xiao Wanrou frowned. "President Gu, you really are quite the sentimental one!"
On second thought, if she could truly replace Xiao Wanqing in Gu Qingyan's heart, why not? Since she was going to do it sooner or later anyway, she might as well do it today. This idea, once it appeared, grew wildly like weeds. She quickly took off her clothes, lay down next to Gu Qingyan, and buried her face in his chest.
The next day, Gu Qingyan woke up with a hangover. The moment he felt someone in his arms, his mind cleared instantly. He abruptly pushed the person away.
