"I……"
The wooden box in his hand was snatched away.
Gu Xingchen's deep gaze followed closely, and when he met the woman's captivating peach blossom eyes, he felt somewhat apologetic.
"Don't tell me my things have gone looking for you again?"
Yes, it can fly.
But we have to give her a reason, right?
Why would so many people specifically choose him?
She wondered, "He really didn't lie to me?"
Rong Shang's sharp gaze fell on the man, and she scrutinized him closely.
He seemed a little nervous at the time.
Her thin, slightly red lips pursed repeatedly until they began to turn pale.
Rong Shang waited, until the man behind her suddenly took two steps forward and pulled her into his arms.
She glanced at him sideways and only caught a glimpse of the man's slightly tense jawline.
Then……
"I took it."
A deep voice came from beside my ear.
Rong Shang raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold. "Why?"
"There's no reason why, I just think it looks pretty."
"..."
What?
"If you think it looks nice, then you can take my things?"
Rong Chang was laughing, and it was a cold laugh.
Although I didn't believe his lame reason.
But when he said those words, Rong Shang still laughed in anger.
She shoved him away, giving him a mocking glance.
"You're lying."
Why are you turning your back to her?
That's because they're afraid of revealing their weaknesses.
"Gu Xingchen, I'll ask you one more time, did this thing come looking for you?"
She was testing the waters.
If he says yes.
There is only one possibility.
He is the Supreme God.
So, she was deceived again.
If it wasn't... no, Rong Chang denied it in her heart.
He wouldn't steal her things for no reason.
But at this moment, Rong Shang stared intently at him, gazing into his dark, captivating eyes, which were like a vortex.
Is he?
"No, I took this box." The woman's intense gaze fell on him, but Gu Xingchen knew it and pretended not to see it.
He remained calm, as if everything he said was true.
At that time, Rong Shang still had doubts, and she asked him when he took it.
He said he took it when he was waiting for her last time he went to see her.
This seems to have no flaws whatsoever.
Rong Shang smiled slightly but didn't say anything.
She simply took the wooden box and turned to leave.
Gu Xingchen did not chase after them.
He stood behind her, watching her hurried departure, his burning gaze tinged with a hint of melancholy.
He took it.
He's the one who took it.
There's no reason; I just want to be with her again.
Of course, Gu Xingchen knew that she had been greedy.
...
night.
Gu Xingchen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower.
He was smoking, and smoke was being exhaled from his mouth.
Wisps of white mist enveloped him, blurring his vision.
A clinking sound of a cup came from next door.
She doesn't seem to be asleep yet.
I have no idea what they're doing.
Was he drinking water, or was he thinking about suicide again?
His eyes closed, and between his slender fingers, the ash from the half-smoked cigarette fell onto his feet.
But he didn't seem to be in pain.
In silence, in thought.
Not long after.
The cell phone rang.
It was Jing Xi calling.
Nothing's wrong.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, I dared to ask about Su Yunmeng.
At that moment, Gu Xingchen's lips curled into a cold smile, "Didn't you say you weren't going to get involved in her affairs?"
The man on the other end was speechless.
Gu Xingchen thought for a moment before continuing, "Call her back; the company needs her."
They've been friends and partners for so many years.
There's still some affection between us.
Despite his politeness, Jing Xi suddenly became arrogant, saying, "Go ahead and say it yourself."
They came here to plead for her, but now they've turned it into this.
