Chapter 51 Because I Love You
The rain pattered behind them, dimming the hallway. Gu Cheng put down his phone and locked eyes with Wen Chu. The tension between them, which had finally eased somewhat, suddenly dropped again.
Gu Cheng said, "You won't marry into the Gu family...you won't marry me?"
Wen Chu looked at him quietly: "What about you? Did you come back to chase me because you felt guilty?"
"No, because I love you." Gu Cheng replied.
Wen Chu pursed her lips: "You loved me... but before..."
Gu Cheng held her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry."
He had said it many times, but it seemed not enough, never enough.
Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi were behind him, not daring to breathe. But they heard footsteps in the hallway, probably from the crew. Wen Chu took a step forward. Seeing this, Gu Cheng quickly opened his umbrella, pulled Wen Chu under it, and walked towards the car not far away. Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi quickly grabbed their umbrellas and followed.
For a moment, it was quiet in the umbrella, with only water droplets splashing on the ground. It was too cold to rain in this weather. Wen Chu hugged her arms, and Gu Cheng opened his coat and held her tightly in his arms.
Wen Chu leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes.
She thought that a year would allow her to slowly withdraw from his life, so that she would not always think about the past and be attached to his warmth, causing herself to waver and be unable to make any decision.
Gu Cheng lowered his eyes to look at her, hugged her tightly, and handed her the milk, but Wen Chu didn't take it at first.
Gu Cheng said, "The brands you like are better than the ones he bought."
Wen Chu looked at it for a few seconds and said, "He means well."
Gu Cheng snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
He didn't respond.
Wen Chu warmed her hands with milk after getting in the car. All the way back to the hotel, Gu Cheng took her to the restaurant for dinner, and Wen Chu tasted the familiar flavors again.
She looked at the kitchen again and didn't see the nanny.
Gu Cheng scooped soup for her.
Wen Chu lowered his head and drank.
She looked up and saw that one side of his shoulder was wet, which was hard to see through his black shirt until it was visible under the light. Wen Chu remembered that the umbrella covered her tightly, so it must be that side of his that was not covered.
After dinner, Gu Cheng put his coat under his arm and took her upstairs.
Walk her to the door.
He lowered his eyes and said, "I'll come down to pick you up later? Are you still coming to my place tonight?"
Wen Chu raised her eyes and moved her gaze to the left. She raised her fingertips and pinched his collar. It was wet. Wen Chu said, "Go back and take a shower quickly. Your clothes are all wet."
Gu Cheng held her fingertips and said, "I'll pick you up later."
Wen Chu looked at him for a few seconds.
He nodded, then swiped his card and entered.
Gu Cheng watched her go in before turning and heading for the elevator. Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi came out of the elevator, saw him, and nodded hurriedly.
Wen Chu went to take a shower first.
When she came out of the shower, Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi had already come in. Zhu Ru plugged in the hair dryer and started to blow her hair. Xiao Zhi was still savoring the food they had eaten in the restaurant.
She said, "Today I finally had enough to eat."
Zhu Ru ruffled Wen Chu's hair and said, "I heard that Qi Yuan's business has almost been withdrawn... but Xinghe hasn't made any moves, as if they are waiting for Qi Yuan to be put on ice."
Wen Chu pressed the phone.
Xi Ning also said on the phone: Suddenly, the topic of Qi Yuan was withdrawn... He Sheng actually didn't plan to save her. Inside information is that Xinghe is pushing new actors.
Zhu Ru also saw the message sent by Xi Ning, and she said to Wen Chu: "That's true."
"Qi Yuan was really banned, and it's possible that it was done by Master Gu."
"No wonder she called and was so angry."
When Wen Chu thought about Qi Yuan's tone on the phone, he felt a little more flustered. But, could he really bear to treat Qi Yuan like this?
An hour later.
The doorbell rang.
Zhu Ru opened the door and saw Gu Cheng standing outside, all dressed in black. He asked, "Where's she?"
Zhu Ru coughed and said, "She's in the master bedroom. Wait a minute, I'll call her."
Gu Cheng said, "It's troublesome."
Zhu Ru went back and knocked on the door. Wen Chu was actually a little sleepy. She lay on the bed and almost fell asleep, holding the script in her hand. She said, "Let him go back. I'm sleepy..."
Zhu Ru said, "Okay, then go to sleep."
She turned around and went back to talk to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng paused, then said, "I'll stay here with her. You all go back and rest."
Zhu Ru was stunned.
Xiaozhi peeked out, picked up the clothes on the sofa, and walked out, saying, "Okay, okay."
Zhu Ru watched Xiaozhi leave.
she:"......"
Little sisters are little sisters...it's hard to resist temptation.
But Zhu Ru had actually just seen Gu Cheng protecting Wen Chu in the rain, and the raindrops fell on his shoulders, not to mention what she heard him say at the stairs.
After learning about Qi Yuan's ban, Zhu Ru's heart gradually softened. She said, "Okay, she was actually very tired today. She was filming that scene and bumped her ears a few times..."
"I know." Gu Cheng responded.
"Then I'll leave with Xiaozhi, and I'll trouble you to take care of her."
Gu Cheng nodded.
Zhu Ru went back to get her cell phone, then rushed out the door. Gu Cheng came in and closed the door. The living room was a bit messy because he hadn't had time to clean it up. There was a silk scarf dropped by Wen Chu on the floor. He picked it up. The faint scent of gardenia made him feel at ease. He tidied up the mess on the table.
Then we came to the master bedroom.
At first glance, I saw her sitting on the carpet, leaning over the bed, her arm holding Huaqiao's script. The lights were dim, her hair was messy, and her long skirt was draped on the ground.
Gu Cheng stood at the door and looked at her deeply.
A few seconds later, he walked in, came to her side, bent down and tried to pick her up.
Wen Chu opened his eyes, and their gazes met. Wen Chu looked at him quietly for a few seconds and said, "Qi Yuan was banned. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Gu Cheng paused for only a second before he picked her up. Her white skirt fell, and a strand of her hair fell on his arm. As he put her on the bed, he said, "It's related."
Wen Chu grabbed his collar and pulled him down.
Gu Cheng approached her, their eyes met, their breaths touching. Wen Chu asked, "Are you willing to give it up?"
Gu Cheng looked at her quietly, his tone calm: "I'm willing to betray everyone except you."
Wen Chu couldn't believe it.
She pursed her lips: "But I have also seen your love for her."
"Where does the love come from?"
Wen Chu fumbled for her phone and clicked on the saved video. She clicked it and showed it to him. It was a long video. Gu Cheng watched it quietly from beginning to end.
Wen Chu thought that if a person's pupils moved, his emotions would definitely be affected.
Gu Cheng was very calm at this time. He looked at her for a few seconds, raised his eyes and looked at her.
Look at each other.
Gu Cheng said softly, "I don't live with my parents. I live with my grandfather. My grandfather and Mr. Qi have had a good relationship since we were young. It should be said that the Qi and Gu families have been close for three generations."
"Qi Yuan is older than me. My family asked her to take care of me in the early days, and she did. Later, when I grew up, she often got into trouble. She was the only daughter in her family, so my family asked me to look after her..."
"When I set my eyes on her, I thought it was love."
"Later I realized that it wasn't love, it was just a good impression, just a good impression."
"No lustful feelings."
"So she was with Fang Yi, breaking up and getting back together. I never tried to dissuade her from breaking up, nor did I feel jealous of Fang Yi."
"Then you treat me as a substitute." Wen Chu pulled his collar and said harshly, "You let me wear those clothes, are you saving them so that I can wear them and you can see her through me?"
Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and let her pull him. "When I first bought these clothes, I admit that I thought about what it would be like if you wore them."
Wen Chu grabbed his collar tightly.
He raised his eyes to look at her: "But you said you didn't want to wear it, so I asked someone to send you other clothes. Later, I liked you wearing the clothes you liked, and I also liked to see you smile..."
"But you are different from her..." He slid his fingertips across the corner of her lips: "You have dimples when you smile, you are cute when you act coquettishly, your eyebrows are curved when you hug my neck, and when we are in bed, I just want to kiss you all the time..."
"You're not like her. You're not even a little bit similar. You're completely different. You like sweet food, soup, stews, noodles, and don't like tea. You prefer milk. You like light colors. You like kitchen islands. You like the smell of gardenias. You like sleeping on the sofa. You don't like the smell of smoke. You like all kinds of plants. You're afraid of cats because a cat scratched your face when you were a child. You always make three wishes on your birthday. The first is for good health, and the second and third are new wishes..."
Wen Chu gritted his teeth: "Then what do you remember about her?"
Gu Cheng shook his head: "I can't remember clearly, except that she asked me to get cigarettes."
Wen Chu narrowed his eyes.
Gu Cheng brushed her hair aside and said, "Think about it... That year, for her birthday, Gu Ci and I ordered a cake, and she got angry. What was she angry about?"
Wen Chu paused.
She was sitting at a high table with Xi Ning, drinking, and heard them apologizing in the back, especially Gu Ci. Qi Yuan said, holding a cigarette between her fingers, "Don't you know I don't eat chocolate?"
Everyone looked at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was helping Wen Chu play Candy Crush with his phone. He raised his head, paused, and then apologized.
Wen Chu has been Qi Yuan's stand-in for many years.
She knew that Qi Yuan didn't eat chocolate and only liked to drink strong coffee... She was a heavy smoker because of anxiety.
Chocolate is her biggest taboo.
At that time, Xi Ning ran to look at the chocolate cake and said, "Such an expensive chocolate cake, I have to try it anyway, otherwise I will just throw it away."
Maybe it's these details.
Wen Chu never thought that Gu Cheng had ulterior motives in pursuing her, and never doubted it, because at that time he even ordered the wrong cake.
Gu Cheng: "Perhaps it is these details that prove from the side that I am not that fond of her."
He stroked her hair and said, "But it's all too late now. I had bad intentions from the beginning, and in these four years..."
"Actually, I stayed at Xingyao because I wanted to support you when your contract expired."
"But now that Xingyao is in your hands, I'm relieved. You don't have to worry about being threatened by anyone anymore, not even my grandfather."
Wen Chu grabbed the quilt with one hand.
Her eyes were slightly hot, but she didn't let the tears flow, only water droplets rolled in her eyes.
She said, “I still hate you.”
"So I'm entangled with you just to use you and use you to attack Qi Yuan. I think you owe me..."
Gu Cheng's lips curled up slightly.
He nodded: "I know, you use me, every time you are soft on me, you want something. You told me that you want to be in a high position, and you want me to knock Qi Yuan down."
He touched her face and said, "But I was still too slow, causing you so much injustice."
