Gu Jingrui was in a rare good mood today, so he looked at Xia Lichen with more gentle eyes.

Then he also reached out and touched her right ear.

"It would be nice if I stayed with you that night."

"But you don't know what kind of person she is. Even I didn't think about it."

Regarding the apology in Gu Jingrui's eyes, she had always thought that no matter what, Situ Ruo, as a rich young lady and also highly educated, would never be able to do that kind of thing in public, but slaps and fists were thrown at her.

At that moment she finally realized how naive she was.

After dinner, Gu Jingrui took her for a ride elsewhere.

Under the background of the moonlight, she suddenly realized that this was the first time after so many years that she could stay with the other person so calmly.

After all, their relationship has been in a very bad state since their senior year of high school.

"You suddenly keep staring at me like this, do you think I'm pretty?" Gu Jingrui seemed to have noticed Xia Lichen's gaze and asked her proudly.

Xia Lichen was not annoyed by this, but couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head.

"I just suddenly thought that I am already twenty-five years old this year, Gu Jingrui."

"I know that, we are the same age."

Something seemed to be touched in my heart.

"But from the year we had the misunderstanding to now, it's probably about seven years. How many seven years are there in a person's life?"

At this moment, she felt endless emotion in her heart. It was obvious that this age was extremely good for her, but why did she often feel inexplicably tired?

"Do you know Xia Lichen? The more you say this, the more uncomfortable I feel, because in the past seven years, because of my stupidity, I have watched... your heart was completely occupied by Chen Shaohua.

"

Otherwise, none of the following things would have happened.

He said to Xia Lichen somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"But at least I was truly happy. I just regret that I couldn't keep him after all. And I don't even regret meeting him."

After learning the truth, she actually assumed that if he was willing to tell her all the truth and she was willing to accompany him abroad for medical treatment, then when he woke up and the first thing he saw was herself, then he would still be there.

Do you like your boss Situ Ruo?

It seemed that he had been too arrogant just now. It was not until he saw the lingering emotion in Xia Lichen's eyes that he regretted saying those words.

"That's true. After all, I was really a jerk in front of you at that time. It's completely normal that you would accept such a beautiful person."

He can be dissatisfied with the current Chen Shaohua, but what he cannot deny is that the former Chen Shaohua is incomparable to him.

In the end, they didn't speak anymore, but looked at each other.

"Do you really not want to consider marrying me? If you agree to marry me, we can try to get married first and then fall in love. If you refuse to accept me in the early stage, I promise that I will never do anything excessive to you.

"

When she walked downstairs, Gu Jingrui held her wrist from behind and spoke slowly to him with pleading and reluctance.

"Marry first, fall in love later, did I hear you correctly?"

"Of course you heard it right. I also just suddenly thought that instead of continuing like this, someone may still not give up on you, so instead of doing this, it is better to use this method to completely eliminate it. If in the end you still do it no matter what,

If you can't like me...I will choose to let you go."

She didn't expect Gu Jingrui to say this, but she wasn't happy at all after hearing it.

"Each of us is born as an independent individual, and I don't want you to sacrifice your own happiness for me.

The dignified second young master of the Gu family was willing to accept a marriage without love. Anyone who heard this would find it ridiculous, and she also felt that it was unfair to Gu Jingrui.

But Gu Jingrui didn't care.

"My only wish in these years is to be with you. I know this will make you feel uncomfortable, but we have really missed it too many times, so I want to give it a last try."

He truly loves her and has loved her for many years, so it doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, because it's all done willingly.

At that moment, Xia Lichen really hesitated because the faces of Chen Shaohua and Situ Feng could always vaguely flash in her mind.

According to what the other party said, this is indeed a good idea, so does she really want to accept it calmly?

And once you agree, you can't go back on it easily.

"Can you... give me three days to think about it? I will give you a reply in three days."

It was true that he was moved by this idea, but deep down he was still rational.

Gu Jingrui let go of her hand, his eyes filled with irresistible love. This was the agreement he had made with Xia Lichen.

When she came to the company the next day, she couldn't help but recall what happened last night, feeling a little unreal for some reason.

But she didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but at this moment a strange phone call suddenly came in. She thought it was some kind of harassment call, so she hung up subconsciously, but then the phone calls kept coming, so she just

Picked up angrily.

"Who are you?"

Her tone was obviously a bit bad, but she still asked politely.

"You won't forget me so soon, will you?"

When the demonic whisper in that memory sounded in her ears again, Xia Lichen even had the urge to lose her balance and almost slip under the chair.

She shouldn't have had such a reaction. After all, even when she saw the car downstairs of the company before, she had never had such a reaction.

"Situ Feng, what do you want to do?"

She asked with an angry voice, but it was obvious that the other party did not take Xia Lichen's anger seriously.

Afraid of affecting other colleagues in the office, she trotted to the locker room.

"Don't be so nervous. I just miss you suddenly and want to hear your voice. And I heard that your illness is getting better now, right?"

"I don't need your care! Can you disappear from my side?"

She could just hang up the phone, but when she faced Situ Feng for the first time in a long time, she was filled with inner terror, mixed with infinite anger and dissatisfaction. She didn't want to show weakness in front of this person, especially after she was no longer under his control.

"I'm really sad when you say that. After all, I was so worried about you and took good care of you, but you ran away from me without saying a word, and you pretended to be crazy and fooled me. You worked so hard, Xia Lichen."

"Compared with this, I think you should be glad that I didn't call the police after I regained consciousness, and I didn't pretend to be crazy!"

She was really fed up with the other party's repeated provocations. She didn't understand why the other party still refused to let her go even though she had already stopped holding grudges after being hurt.

"And what you deceived me about before is true. Have you forgotten all about it, Situ Feng?"

The harm someone has caused to himself and his family cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.

Situ Feng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, but then he chuckled twice.

"Compared with you now, I find that I still prefer you when you were in a state of confusion. You had no ability to resist and could only be at my mercy. I miss you so much."

In the end, Xia Lichen couldn't hold it back and hung up the phone directly.

The whole person collapsed to the ground with some weakness.

Although it is true that she has come out, the psychological shadow cannot be easily eliminated.

"Situ Feng, you will definitely receive retribution."

With these words in his mouth, Xia Lichen's condition was still not quite right when it was almost time to get off work.

It wasn't until she saw Gu Jingrui waiting for her downstairs in the company that morning that she felt somewhat at ease.

Xia Lixin knew that Gu Jingrui was coming, so she drove home by herself, leaving a separate space for them to get along.

"Gu Jingrui... let's get married."

By some strange coincidence, the moment before the other party approached her, she opened her lips lightly, seemingly without any fear, and slowly said the words that had been held in her heart all day.

"you……"

Gu Jingrui's eyes suddenly widened due to this sudden acceptance, and she looked at Xia Lichen in disbelief.

"Are you sure you've thought about it? I didn't expect you would accept me in just one day."

But then, Xia Lichen just threw herself into his arms.

"Because I'm so scared, I'm really scared... If you are sure, don't let go of my hand again."

Shameless? At least that's how she sees herself now.

If it weren't for Situ Feng's phone call, she might still be in a dilemma, but now she is so determined.

Throughout the whole process, Gu Jingrui didn't question anything, but held her tightly in his arms. Even if she didn't need to say anything, she seemed to have vaguely expected something.

"I have already made up my mind many years ago."

The matter was settled like this. When Tang Lin, Xia Lixin, and Yu Tong saw the pink diamond ring on Xia Lichen's hand that was worth a lot at first glance, they couldn't believe their eyes.

You know, even their wedding date is next year.

But Xia Lichen and Gu Jingrui planned to get a marriage certificate tomorrow, which was too soon.

"Li Chen, have you really made up your mind? You want to marry him?"

Tang Lin was obviously not very polite to Gu Jingrui. Even if it made him dissatisfied, she still asked with confusion.

"Generally speaking, I have thought about it seriously."

She didn't dare to mention Situ Feng's incident, and Gu Jingrui also held her hand tightly where no one else could see it.

"I wasn't very nice before, but my love for her has not changed even after so many years, so you can rest assured that I will definitely be nice to Li Chen."

Gu Jingrui's tall and handsome figure stood in the living room, which really made her feel a little more oppressive. Tang Lin didn't like it very much.

"Chenchen, it turns out that you have been classmates since high school. But you never told me."
