Chapter 59: Not Worthy of Living in the World

The person who drugged him back then was Ye Jinrou? ?

Gu Jingyan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Oh no, there's something wrong with my brain. The voice of my heart comes directly from my brain.

Gu Xixi: [The Ye family went bankrupt, and the Ye couple left Xia Country overnight and went to Country M. ]

Gu Xixi: [Ye Jinrou is unwilling to give up and wants to drug her handsome father so that she can marry into the Gu family and continue to be a wealthy person.]

Gu Xixi: [But the drug was given, and as a result, my handsome father and my unknown mother got together.]

Gu Xixi: [It was really an accident. ]

Gu Wanwei: !!! What a shocking piece of news!

This trip is so worth it!

Gu Jingyan was also surprised when he heard the inner voice.

It turns out that the "murderer" he had been looking for all that time was Ye Jinrou who was sitting in front of him.

They were dating at the time.

Ye Jinrou thought that she should establish a relationship with Gu Jingyan as soon as possible, even if it was an engagement or a pregnancy-related marriage.

But their relationship is barely at the starting point, they haven't even held hands, and to jump all the way to getting married right away... it's too difficult!

However, Ye Jinrou, who grew up with Gu Jingyan, knows him very well.

Once they have a relationship, Gu Jingyan's attitude towards herself will change drastically.

To those who are not familiar with the situation, the man with extremely superior appearance is like a master of love who will not be bound by physical relationships.

But Ye Jinrou knew that Gu Jingyan was just the opposite.

He is very cautious about love, and skin-to-skin intimacy is considered the bottom line, which is absolutely equated with responsibility.

While enjoying physical pleasure, one should not neglect one's responsibilities as a man.

and Gu Yian are two similar yet different extremes.

The moment the inner voice disappeared, Gu Jingyan's mind was in a mess. Too much information flooded into his unguarded thoughts at once.

The distant past seemed to suddenly break out of the ground, and countless wildly growing vines were climbing and spreading.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Jinrou's eyes revealed a look of loss: "It was really a pity back then. If those things hadn't happened, maybe we...we could have had a lovely daughter."

Hearing the word "daughter", Gu Jingyan's scattered eyes focused slightly.

"Why did you leave that year? Was it because you knew what happened to me that night?"

Ye Jinrou paused for a moment, then lowered her head sadly: "The Ye family went bankrupt. I know that the Ye family and the Gu family are no longer a good match. You will have a more suitable girlfriend in the future."

"I should have given up that special position earlier."

After a moment of silence, Ye Jinrou suddenly looked at him as if she had mustered up the courage.

"Jing Yan, have you ever loved me?"

Have you ever loved? Gu Jingyan is not sure.

What kind of feeling can be called love?

When he and Ye Jinrou felt the relaxed and peaceful time together in the library, was it love?

Walking on the path in the park, being speechless yet not feeling uncomfortable, is this love?

Ye Jinrou never quarrels with him, is this love?

?

If love can be so easily described, then what is the point of some people spending their entire lives pursuing it?

Even if it is not a sensation, there will definitely be a heart-pounding moment.

Whenever I recall the moment, my heart starts beating faster, my body's reaction won't lie.

Although he didn't have a clear definition in his heart, Gu Jingyan probably knew that the relationship between them back then could hardly be called love.

Love is not an emotion that is so easy to define.

His silence made Ye Jinrou even more flustered.

After not seeing each other for so many years, could it be that Gu Jingyan is unwilling to give her even a little face?

"I was just joking," Ye Jinrou immediately found a way out and said with a smile, "Even if there is no love between us, we grew up together, so we are still friends, right?"

Gu Jingyan did not hit Ye Jinrou again and nodded.

If she had not drugged herself back then, but had openly asked him for help, perhaps the friendship between "friends" would still exist.

But after hearing the truth from Gu Xixi's inner voice, Gu Jingyan felt that the little bit he had was shattered.

"By the way, don't blame me for gossiping." Acting is what Ye Jinrou is good at. She has been enduring for her life for all these years. She is tired of acting for so many years. "You recognized your daughter, but her mother...why didn't you get together?"

"We've known each other for so long, I know what kind of person you are."

“Is it inappropriate?”

"I'm sure it's not your problem."

"It's really unfair to you to marry a woman with no emotional foundation just because of a one-night mistake."

Ye Jinrou was testing the woman's situation implicitly in her words, praising one and criticizing the other.

Since he sat down, Gu Jingyan was mostly eavesdropping on Gu Xixi's thoughts.

He hasn't found where Little Milk Bag is yet, but since she came here, she must be accompanied by someone, so there's no need to worry too much.

Gu Jingyan, who had been thinking, raised his head for the first time and looked seriously at Ye Jinrou who was sitting opposite him.

There is something different about the woman in front of me.

In those seemingly innocent eyes, there was a fox-like cunningness, and they seemed to be smiling.

Even the extent of the smile seemed carefully calculated, giving people a certain formulaic discomfort.

Ye Jinrou thought that the reason why Gu Jingyan did not get married was because he did not get along with Gu Xixi's mother, so he only left his daughter.

She had no idea that he didn't even know who the woman was that night.

Gu Jingyan calmly took a sip of coffee, his movements were elegant and dignified. Those small movements that would be insignificant on others made him radiate charm.

Putting down the coffee cup, there was a hint of displeasure in Gu Jingyan's eyes.

"I haven't found out the identity of the woman that night."

"But I will find her and sit down with her to discuss our future plans."

"She gave birth to a daughter while unmarried, and the daughter was stolen away."

"I believe she had it harder than anyone else."

"Jinrou, you are criticizing someone based on preconceived assumptions. This is too subjective."

Ye Jinrou's smile froze on her face. She originally wanted to elevate her status as a childhood sweetheart and then raise Gu Jingyan's position in her heart.

Who knew that this action would hit the tiger's butt.

Instead, it made Gu Jingyan unhappy.

"If you find out her identity, will you marry her?" Ye Jinrou forced a smile. She was shivering in the cold.

Although the heating in the cafe was sufficient, she still felt a chill coming from the opposite side, gradually freezing her limbs.

"I will respect her opinion and if she wants, I will get married."

"But, do you love her?" Ye Jinrou was anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose. "Just for a ridiculous responsibility, you ruined your life's happiness!"

For some things, Gu Jingyan has his own set of principles in his heart.

No need for anyone to teach you.

Especially, he was the culprit that caused all this back then.

"If a man doesn't have the courage to take responsibility, he doesn't deserve to live in this world."
