When she arrived at his villa, she waited in the living room. The servant politely poured her a glass of water, but she nervously drank the water in the glass.
Holding the cup tightly in her hand, she could no longer imagine what would happen soon.
By coming here, she agreed to his request in disguise.
She knew it in her heart, and so did he.
Last time in the hotel, she had no memory because she was drunk. This time she was sober, so how should she face it?
"Why don't you go upstairs when you're here?"
The sudden sound frightened Haiyao, and the cup in her hand instantly slipped from her hand and shattered with a clang.
She followed the sound and saw him walking downstairs in pajamas.
Meeting his deep gaze, Hai Yao quickly said in a panic, "I'm sorry."
After finishing speaking, she was about to squat down to pick up the broken glass on the ground, but he had already walked up to her, bent down and grabbed her wrist, stopping her movement.
Pulling her up, he took her hand in his gentle hand and held her hand naturally, saying, "Come here."
Taking her to the dining table, he asked her to sit next to him, then let go of her hand and said calmly, "Eat something with me."
Hai Yao was not in the mood to eat. She wanted to say something but couldn't.
Looking up at the harmless smile on his face, she really didn't know what he wanted to do?
This man sometimes acted as harmless as a big boy, but sometimes he could be as scary as a devil. What he was thinking, what he was planning, and what he was going to do next were completely beyond her imagination.
Gu Tingchuan raised his eyebrows, poured the Pu'er tea into the cup in a well-mannered manner, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Then she lowered her eyes and stared at the dining table.
Seeing this, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked straight at her, "You seem to be afraid of me today?"
She had always been brave enough to say anything to him before, so why was she silent today?
Haiyao smiled bitterly and looked at him again, "Isn't this what you want? To make me fear you and satisfy your self-righteous and inflated sense of superiority!"
At first, she only thought that he was a dishonest playboy. She never thought that if he really plotted against you, it would make your hair stand on end.
Her answer was actually a roundabout way of scolding him.
He smiled, and now he looked like her, sharp-tongued and unforgiving.
He grabbed the sandwich with his hands and ate it casually, as if he was in a good mood. He always smiled slightly when he looked at her. The more he smiled, the more she hated him, hated herself, and blamed him!
The atmosphere was very delicate. Lu Haiyao had never been looked at by any man so unscrupulously.
His straight eyes and slightly smiling mouth made her feel oppressed.
I was so nervous that I didn’t even know how to place it.
Naturally, he saw her nervousness and chuckled, "I'm really tired of the sandwiches made by Aunt Li. What do you usually eat in the morning?"
"Don't eat!"
Hai Yao replied dully.
He glanced at her and said, "No wonder you are so thin. Being too thin is not good."
He handed the milk to her, curled his lips and smiled, "It's too thin and doesn't feel good in the hand, and my bones hurt when I press it."
Only then did Hai Yao understand what he was talking about, her face turned red and she glared at him angrily.
Gu Tingchuan smiled lightly and said nothing. After a moment, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Hai Yao say vigorously, "I agree to your request, but let's make an agreement."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and waited quietly.
He knew that she had been thinking about these words for a long time since she came in.
"How do you want to make an agreement?"
"I can only... be with you on weekends. During this period, I won't interfere with whoever you are with. Please don't interfere with my life. In addition, I hope you can go and see Nian Wei."
He remained silent, took out his cigarette, lit it, and looked at her, "What else?"
"And..." Haiyao looked at him and said what she wanted to know most, "When can you let me go?"
Hearing this, he frowned and looked at her silently, seeing the light of expectation shining in her eyes, as if she wanted to know when she would be able to leave him...
He raised the corners of his mouth playfully, "You really want to leave me?"
She looked at him neither humble nor arrogantly, "What if it's not the case? Do I still expect to be with you forever?"
"Why can't we count on it?"
He asked seriously, his sharp eyes making her panic.
Hai Yao looked away and said sarcastically, "I don't dare to count on it, and I don't want to count on it. You should know very well that I don't have any feelings for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and walked upstairs with his back to her. Hai Yao looked at his back without knowing why.
Gu Tingchuan stood on the stairs, stopped, paused for a moment, then looked sideways at her, and said nonchalantly, "Then three months."
After three months, he must be tired of playing! If she wants to leave, he will never keep her!
*****
In the evening, Xu Yizhong came back early.
As soon as he walked into the house, he saw her standing there absent-mindedly in the kitchen, seemingly not noticing his return.
Walking over, he helped her turn off the fire. Seeing that everything in the pot was burnt, he frowned slightly, "What are you thinking about?"
Didn't you know this could be dangerous?
Lu Haiyao came to her senses and met Xu Yizhong's slightly reproachful eyes. She instantly felt that she was sorry for him.
If he knew that he and Gu Tingchuan were really together...
Will he care?
Then I thought about it, they were already divorced, why were they divorced?
She smiled bitterly to herself. She was confused and always expected things she shouldn't have.
Xu Yizhong clearly saw something flashing in her eyes, but it dimmed immediately. He uncontrollably called her name, "Haiyao."
Haiyao ignored him and didn't want to say anything more to him. He walked out of the kitchen and went upstairs with the cooked porridge.
He held his briefcase, looked at her back, and pulled off his tie distractedly.
I went upstairs and threw my things on the sofa in frustration.
ps: Which girl can guess what Lao Gu and Lao Xu are thinking? I hope you can tell me who the male protagonist is by leaving a message.
