Chapter 403: Forced Sleep
Gui Qing got off Xie Yu's car and ran into two colleagues who were returning from outside.
The two colleagues were on good terms with her, and as soon as they saw her, they came up to greet her, "Qinggong, are you back from your date?"
They all saw Gui Qing getting out of the Bentley and were not surprised. They even joked, "Which handsome guy is it?"
Gui Qing smiled and said, "What gossip," without answering their questions. Colleagues often joked like this, and everyone was used to it.
"Let me share another piece of gossip with you," the colleague said, leaning closer to her mysteriously. "Just now when we went out, we saw Jiang Lu bringing a woman back."
The smile in Gui Qing's eyes disappeared completely, the corners of his mouth raised, and his face was expressionless. "Oh, really?"
Her mood changes were too subtle for her colleagues to notice. They were still enthusiastically sharing gossip with her and guessing what the relationship was between Jiang Yuxu and the woman he brought back.
Gui Qing didn't join in their conversation. After listening for a while, she took out her phone, checked the time, and said, "I still have something to do. You guys go back. I'm going out for a while."
Colleague: "It's so late, please be careful."
Gui Qing nodded, waved goodbye to them, and walked away with big strides in her high heels.
——
Half past eleven.
Jiang Yuxu opened the door again and looked across.
Still no one came back.
He closed the door, gripped the door handle tightly with his hand, and his face was covered with a layer of gloom.
It has been more than four hours since Gui Qing left with that man, and now she hasn’t come back yet so late... Is she still with him?
What will happen if a man and a woman are alone together so late at night?
Jiang Yuxu didn't want to think about the bad side, but when he was with Gui Qing at night before -
As those images flashed through his mind, Jiang Yuxu clenched his hands even tighter, his knuckles turning white.
He didn't understand Gui Qing's current behavior. Since she had chosen to reconcile with Cheng Mi, why did she still have to get entangled with other men?
Since she still wants to be entangled with men, why does she treat him as air?
That's enough.
Jiang Yuxu was frightened by the absurd thought that flashed through his mind - what on earth was he expecting? Was he going to interfere in Gui Qing's relationship just because she was pestering him?
This is not in line with his values.
Jiang Yuxu returned to the bed in a distracted state. He leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down.
But the irritability in my chest did not disappear, instead it became even more depressing.
Jiang Yuxu picked up his phone, found Gui Qing's number from the WeChat contact list, and typed a sentence in the dialog box: [Where have you been? Why haven't you come back so late? ]
After a few seconds, I deleted it and retyped: [Are you there? Let’s talk about the terms and conditions update.]
Then deleted it again.
He repeated this action countless times, and even deleted the last sentence.
In the end, not a single message was sent.
Jiang Yuxu locked the screen of his mobile phone, threw it aside, lay down flat on his pillow, closed his eyes and took deep breaths.
It was he who first proposed to draw a clear line between the two, and Gui Qing was just doing what he said.
Even if they maintained their previous relationship, he had no right or position to control her - they were not the same kind of people, and he should have realized this long ago.
When she was in LA, she was dating other people before she and Cheng Mi officially broke up.
This is how it is in formal relationships, let alone their "underground transaction". She has no obligation to take his feelings into consideration.
Gui Qing often said that he didn't recognize anyone after he put on his pants, and he was even made to reflect on himself several times because of her accusations.
Now that I think about it, it’s really ridiculous.
But one has to admit that Gui Qing is first-rate at brainwashing people. She is very good at playing the weak to attract prey. This is probably her usual style towards men.
Jiang Yuxu's upbringing did not allow him to use harsh words to describe someone. He took a deep breath and stopped thinking.
It's good to stop here. Gui Qing's affairs will have nothing to do with him in the future. They can just maintain a working relationship.
As for whether she was having an affair with other men behind Cheng Mi's back, it had nothing to do with him - Cheng Mi was an adult and the risk had to be borne by himself.
Jiang Yuxu convinced himself in this way, and his rationality gradually returned.
He raised his hand to turn off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness, and forced himself to sleep.
——
That night, Jiang Yuxu fell asleep successfully and slept for more than six hours, but he was dreaming the whole time.
When I woke up, I had almost forgotten the content of the dream, but my body was very tired, as if I had not slept at all.
Jiang Yuxu glanced at the time. It was exactly seven o'clock.
He didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so he got up immediately after waking up, drank a glass of water, and went to the hotel gym to run to wake up his mind.
This run was fifteen kilometers - this distance was not challenging for him. He had had the habit of running since elementary school and had participated in the city's half marathon and cross-country races when he was in middle school.
I became a bit lazy after work, but the foundation I laid over the years is still there.
It was 8:25 after running 15 kilometers when Jiang Yuxu went downstairs from the gym and returned to his room.
As he passed by, he subconsciously glanced at the door opposite, then quickly looked away.
The thought that flashed through his mind just now was: I wonder if she has come back.
He dismissed the idea in an instant. It had nothing to do with him whether he came back or not, and it was none of his business what happened last night.
Jiang Yuxu returned to his room and took a shower.
After running and taking a shower, he felt much more energetic.
After changing his clothes, Jiang Yuxu prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.
He had just opened the door and walked out when he ran into Gui Qing who was coming back with a bag. The two met without any warning.
She was no longer wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and her hairstyle and makeup had also changed.
There is no embarrassment of staying out all night.
Oh, in my impression, she seems to be very delicate at all times. She also said that she would rather wear makeup even when sleeping.
In fact, she looks pretty good without makeup, and her skin is in great condition, almost like a child's.
Jiang Yuxu's eyes wandered over her and were soon attracted by the jade bracelet on her wrist.
It wasn't there last night.
The bracelet is made of jadeite, and it is very watery. You can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
Jiang Yuxu immediately thought of the man from yesterday.
Did he give it to her?
After a night away, he returned completely dressed.
Stop, it has nothing to do with him. No matter what she did, it was her personal choice. He has no right to dictate other people's lives.
Jiang Yuxu withdrew his gaze and walked past Gui Qing without saying hello.
Gui Qing listened to the receding footsteps, looked back at Jiang Yuxu's back, took out the room card from her bag, and walked in expressionlessly.
She closed the door, threw her bag on the sofa, took off her high heels, and sat down.
Thinking of Jiang Yuxu's appearance just now, she laughed sarcastically.
When my junior high school girl came, I didn't even say hello when I saw her.
It really is the white moonlight.
