Chapter 39
"Ji Anyi, what on earth did you do? The project that was about to be signed with a contract was canceled. Didn't you say that you had feelings for Gu Zhinian?" Ji Anyi started roaring as soon as he answered the call from his eldest brother. The Ji family had been going from bad to worse in recent years. This time, they finally got a project from a branch of Gu's company. After several rounds of negotiations, they were finally able to sign the contract tomorrow, but it was canceled.
The person in charge of the Gu branch also told him to take care of his family. Ji Anping immediately realized that it was about Ji Anyi. He was originally very happy when he saw this. If Ji Anyi could really marry Gu Zhinian, no, even if she was just a lover, any little bit of money that Gu Zhinian could get would be enough to make their Ji family prosperous. In the end, he didn't get any benefits at all, and the project he had got was gone.
All the previous social interactions with the person in charge were wasted.
"How...how could this happen..." Ji Anyi fell on the bed, "Gu Zhinian would never do this to me."
"Waste! Idiot! I don't care what you do, just go and coax Gu Zhinian into doing what he wants. Your family has raised you with all their wealth for so many years, it's time for you to give something back." Ji Anping hung up the phone right after he finished speaking. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He smashed the office and then went to find his father to find a solution.
Things were also in chaos on He Yushu's side. He's eldest sister was very capable and was also angry when she heard the news of the cancellation of those projects, but she didn't show it.
"I've told you not to mess around with Ji Anyi, but you just don't understand. I'm telling you that Ji Anyi is not that simple. He Yushu, you're not a child anymore. Use your brain, okay?"
"With Gu Zhinian's family background and intelligence, who wouldn't want someone like him? Why would he let go just because he wants to go abroad? Is his private jet just for show? If he really likes to go abroad together, so what?"
"So you believe what Ji Anyi said and think that Gu Zhinian likes Ji Anyi. What kind of love potion did Ji Anyi give you?" He Yujiao's voice was as cold as a knife, stabbing He Yushu's heart again and again.
"Sister...I..." He Yushu was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head and didn't dare to look at his elder sister.
"Do you know how much loss this time has caused to our company?"
"Sister, I was wrong..."
"From today on, you have to reflect on your behavior at home. No one is allowed to let him go out without my consent. If I find out that you are in contact with Ji Anyi again, I will block all your cards." After saying this, He Yujiao went straight back to her room.
"Yushu, listen to your sister, okay." He's mother said softly.
He Yushu nodded blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Zhinian returned as quickly as possible. After more than two hours of flight, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. Aunt Lin had just dried Shi Wan's medicine and put it into a thermos.
"Sir, you're back." Aunt Lin saw Gu Zhinian and hurried to greet him.
"Well, give me Wanwan's medicine and I'll take it over."
"Okay." Aunt Lin handed the packaged medicine to Gu Zhinian. Gu Zhinian didn't even go to the room. He turned around and left with his bodyguard.
Shi Wan absentmindedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, but finally couldn't eat any more. He took the plate to the recycling area and waited at the door for the driver to deliver the medicine. After what happened at noon, Shi Wan couldn't concentrate. Even when he was drawing, he would think of Gu Zhinian the next second.
He thought that he had not rested enough and should go to bed early today.
Gu Zhinian was wearing a mask and a hat, and no one noticed that he was Gu Zhinian as he walked in. Shi Wan was standing at the door of the cafeteria and started to daydream again. When someone suddenly grabbed his hand, he was frightened.
"You—" Shi Wan looked up and saw that it was Gu Zhinian. She was very surprised and asked with a dry throat: "Why are you back? Aren't you coming back tomorrow?"
"I want to explain it to you in person." Gu Zhinian held Shi Wan's hand and walked towards the school gate. There were people coming and going at the cafeteria entrance, and many of them knew Shi Wan. They could guess that it was Gu Zhinian when they saw the close contact between the two of them. It would be difficult to leave if they were surrounded.
"Hey...is that Shi Wan? Is she being held by someone's hand? Is it Gu Zhinian who's back?" The girl nudged her roommate and took pictures with her phone.
"There's no doubt about it, it's Brother Gu! As a fan for eight years, I guarantee that I would recognize Brother Gu even if he turned into ashes!" The female roommate stomped her feet excitedly, but she didn't chase after him to disturb Gu Zhinian. She was not that kind of fanatical illegitimate fan!
"Oh my god, he was in Province N this morning, and now he's here at school trying to coax people. Tsk tsk tsk, nothing can stop this man from coaxing people. He's much better than your boyfriend."
“…” I’m so angry! My boyfriend isn’t as handsome as my idol! He’s not as rich as my idol! He’s not as considerate or coaxing as my idol! What a jerk boyfriend! She must have found him in the trash!
Was she crazy before? Did she think that bastard was good? Break up! Break up now!
The female roommate walked towards the dormitory angrily and heroically. She looked murderous, as if she was too excited!
"Have you eaten yet?"
Shi Wan didn't say anything.
"Then come eat with me a little more, Shi Wan." Gu Zhinian asked Zhou Cheng to find a nearby restaurant. The two of them didn't say a word on the way there until the dishes were served. Gu Zhinian wiped his hands clean after peeling the shrimps with a wet towel on the side and handed the shrimps to Shi Wan.
"Wanwan, do you want to eat first or listen to me first?"
Shi Wan moved his fingers, looked up and met Gu Zhinian's eyes and said, "You speak first."
"I have nothing to do with you, Ji Anyi. I haven't seen him in many years. His mother used to be good friends with my mother, so that's why we know each other, but I'm not that familiar with him."
"We only learned piano together because his mother brought him to be my piano teacher. We didn't have any communication, let alone any feelings."
"After that, something happened between my mother and his mother, and we stopped seeing each other. Ji Anyi and I had even less contact. The only time he said a bunch of nonsense to me was before he left the country."
"Wanwan, I have only loved you." Gu Zhinian's eyes were full of intoxicating tenderness. Shi Wan was afraid and wanted to hide, but Gu Zhinian didn't let Shi Wan hide anymore.
Shi Wan pursed her lips and met Gu Zhinian's eyes, trying to find a flaw in Gu Zhinian's eyes, but she didn't find any. "Love is something that will disappear." It can't be pretended.
"The dean's mother's husband acted so loving before, but he still cheated on her. Pei Hongyuan pretended to dote on his wife in front of outsiders, but he was actually keeping mistresses and children. He even watched others swap children in silence to allow the mistress's child to enter the house."
"Love is too luxurious for me." Shi Wan shook his head.
Every time Shi Wan saw Pei Hongyuan saying that he loved his wife, he felt disgusted. He looked bright and beautiful on the outside, but was full of rotten flesh on the inside, smelling terrible and yet he was deceiving himself.
"Shi Wan, they are not me, and I will never become them. I will prove it to you. Wanwan, just don't hide from me." Gu Zhinian smiled and picked up some food for Shi Wan.
Shi Wan looked at the food in the bowl, and then secretly looked at Gu Zhinian. Are you not going to say anything?
Just, just, just how does he want to see it?
Shi Wan was also hungry, so he picked up the shrimp that Gu Zhinian had peeled for him and started eating. It was very fresh and sweet. As the food started to eat, the topic that the two of them had just discussed was forgotten by Shi Wan.
"I'm going upstairs..." Shi Wan looked at Gu Zhinian's hand. Gu Zhinian held his hand with no sign of letting go.
"Hmm——" Shi Wan was originally trying to signal Gu Zhinian to let go, but the next second he was kissed on the lips and their fingers were intertwined.
"You--" Shi Wan's face flushed red, he bit his lips, his eyes sparkling, indescribably seductive. Gu Zhinian lowered his head and gave Shi Wan another light kiss on the corner of her lips.
"Go upstairs, good night, sweet dreams." Gu Zhinian also knew that there was an 80% chance that he would not reply to his message tonight.
"Hmph!" Shi Wan took two steps away, snorted coldly, and then went upstairs, like a proud cat, with a slightly messy step, as if he was afraid of being caught up by Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian stood there and laughed. What kind of pervert is he?
