With a little effort, Gu Baiwei was easily pulled into his arms.
She instinctively tried to struggle, but as soon as she moved, a muffled groan came from above her head.
Shen Yanqing's deep, magnetic voice came: "Don't move, your wound hurts."
When Gu Baiwei glanced down and saw the bright red spots seeping through the gauze on Shen Yanqing's chest, she immediately stopped moving and nestled obediently in his arms, letting him hold her.
From an angle she couldn't see, Shen Yanqing's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
There were only the two of them in the room. At such close range, Gu Baiwei could clearly hear Shen Yanqing's heartbeat, and her cheeks instantly felt hot.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a slender hand rubbing her waist. Gu Baiwei's body instantly stiffened. This man...
She wasn't a naive young girl just beginning to experience love, but her only romantic experience in her past life was with Ye Yunting.
Ye Yunting was aloof and cold, and since their marriage was a business arrangement, he remained extremely indifferent to her after the wedding. Apart from the routine marital obligations, there was virtually no intimate contact between them like this.
Her face instantly burned, and she tried to break free somewhat awkwardly. However, as soon as she moved, Shen Yanqing let out another muffled groan.
She could only obediently let him hold her, not daring to move an inch.
After a long while, a man's somewhat husky voice came from above: "Weiwei, let's get married."
Gu Baiwei froze on the spot. They had only been dating for a short time, and now they were getting married? Wasn't that a bit too fast?
Moreover, she is still filled with fear of marriage.
Noticing her silent reaction, Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened, and then he spoke softly, "Weiwei, you don't need to rush to give me an answer now. I can wait no matter how long it takes."
The moment he finished speaking, Shen Yanqing pinched her chin, lowered his head and kissed her. This kiss was lingering and gentle, until Gu Baiwei's breathing became rapid, before he released her.
As soon as she let go of Gu Baiwei, she stood up with a flushed face and said, "I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again later."
Shen Yanqing's lips and brows were full of satisfied smiles: "Okay."
Suddenly meeting his tender gaze, Gu Baiwei blushed even more, hurriedly tidied her hair, and walked out the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she was met with a puzzled look from Da Tou, and immediately blushed and looked away.
Da Tou had no suspicions; he only noticed that Miss Gu's lipstick color seemed much lighter.
Seeing her hurrying to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, are you leaving so soon?"
His voice was extremely loud, and his powerful shout drew curious glances from passersby.
Under so many gazes, Gu Baiwei's face flushed, she gave a soft "hmm," lowered her head, and quickly left.
Seeing her hurried steps, Da Tou scratched his head in confusion, pushed the door open, and immediately met Shen Yanqing's upturned lips.
Why does the boss look like he's in such a good mood right now?
His gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Yanqing's lips. When did the boss start wearing lipstick like a woman?
...
The blush on Gu Baiwei's face didn't completely fade until she got home.
She sat in front of the mirror and realized that the lipstick on her lips had long since faded, and her thin lips were still a little swollen and red, which was quite suggestive.
No wonder people kept staring at her along the way; it was so embarrassing.
At that moment, her gaze inadvertently fell on the business card she had casually placed on the table, and she suddenly remembered what the director named Song Zhuo had told her.
The eye exam is scheduled for tomorrow.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone somewhat nervously and dialed the number.
When Director Song heard it was her, he was very polite and enthusiastically gave her a brief introduction to the role she was auditioning for.
His easygoing attitude instantly calmed Gu Baiwei's tense mood.
After agreeing on the audition time, Gu Baiwei politely thanked Director Song and hung up the phone.
The phone rang again as soon as she hung up. Seeing Lu Ran's name on the caller ID, Gu Baiwei hesitated for a moment before answering.
The moment the call connected, Gu Baiwei heard Lu Ran's urgent voice on the other end: "Hey, Lao Ye, what are you doing? Give me back my phone."
Soon, a loud bang came from the other side of the door, followed by the click of the door being locked, and the faint sound of Lu Ran banging on the door and roaring.
Everything quickly returned to normal, and Ye Yunting's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone: "Weiwei, it's me. Are you alright?"
"Um."
Gu Baiwei gave a soft "hmm," but suddenly realized that she and Ye Yunting seemed to have nothing to say to each other at all.
"Weiwei, I went there too, but I was a step too late..."
That day, when he drove to Qi Yu's house, Shen Yanqing had just left.
"Okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Gu Baiwei really didn't know how to continue the conversation, so she couldn't help but speak up.
Ye Yunting tightened his grip on the phone, his voice suddenly becoming more urgent: "Weiwei, don't hang up yet, I have something to say."
Gu Baiwei raised an eyebrow, assuming he was going to pester her again, and her tone instantly became impatient: "It seems like we have nothing to talk about..."
“Weiwei, I remember everything. It was all my fault before. I’ll apologize to you however you want… but could you please give me another chance for the sake of our two children?”
This was the first time Gu Baiwei had ever heard Ye Yunting speak to her in such a humble tone.
In the past, when they spoke, he was usually indifferent or impatient.
After a moment of silence, Gu Baiwei spoke softly, "It's all in the past."
"Weiwei, have you forgiven me?"
Ye Yunting's voice carried a hint of hope.
Gu Baiwei's voice was cold and deep: "I said it's all in the past."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ye Yunting listened to the dial tone on the phone and was momentarily lost in thought. She said it was all in the past, not because she had forgiven him, but because his apology was worthless to her.
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Yunting felt a sharp pain in his heart.
However, he quickly calmed down. Even if she hated him, she had given him a son and a daughter after all. As long as he gained the children's approval, he believed that one day their family would be reconciled.
Besides, she liked him so much back then, how could she let go so easily?
Gu Baiwei had no idea what Ye Yunting was imagining. She quickly washed up, put on a face mask, and went to bed early.
She has an audition tomorrow, and she wants to be in top condition to participate.
The next day, Gu Baiwei rushed to the audition location early in the morning, but to her surprise, she ran into Su Peipei there.
Su Peipei dressed relatively conservatively this time, wearing a long-sleeved shirt on top and a short skirt that went past her knees. Her white stockings just covered her knees, and she was completely covered up, presumably to hide her scars.
I thought this woman would be more restrained after what happened last time, but I didn't expect her to snort coldly as soon as she saw Gu Baiwei. She pointed at her and said something to the man next to her in a very impolite manner, which didn't seem to be anything nice.
