Haiyao stayed in her grandma's room for a long time, and did not return until late at night. Seeing that he had already gone to bed, she went to the closet to get clothes and prepare to take a bath, but she heard him coughing muffledly and without stopping.
In the dead of night, she couldn't ignore his coughing no matter how much she wanted to.
Forced myself to pretend not to hear and went to the bathroom.
After she came out of the shower, he was still coughing.
She finally relented and held the quilt to him and put it on his body, but he opened his eyes and turned over to look at her.
Haiyao seemed to have done something wrong and quickly turned around to leave.
But he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
He spoke hoarsely, his tone lost his arrogance, and he really sounded like a patient, "Can you... help me get some medicine?"
How could she refuse when she looked so weak?
She could only pull his hand away, silently help him pour water and get medicine, put it on the coffee table, then turned to leave, and then heard him say, "Do you hate me?"
Haiyao paused in his steps and secretly bit his lips.
Seeing that she didn't want to look back at him, Xu Yizhong said bitterly in his heart, "It's reasonable for you to hate me, but Hai Yao, I hope that man is not Gu Tingchuan."
The implication is that it’s another man, is that okay?
So you can trust her and not feel any guilt anymore?
After hearing this, Hai Yao cried silently in her heart.
She tried hard to make her voice sound emotionless, "It's none of your business who I end up with. I'm just your ex-wife. Do you care too much?"
"in addition……"
She said against her will, "I won't hate you, don't take yourself too seriously."
After finishing speaking, he walked to the bed and rolled himself into bed.
Xu Yizhong turned his head and looked at her for a long time, feeling depressed.
*****
Time flies by.
It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.
When she was preparing breakfast in the morning, Gu Tingchuan sent a text message: When are you coming?
Hai Yao did not reply. After a while, another text message came: Shall I pick you up?
She was troubled, so she put her cell phone aside and had breakfast with her grandma. Xu Yizhong was also surprisingly not at work. While the three of them were having dinner, her cell phone suddenly rang and vibrated on the side, but she sat there, silent for a long time.
Answer.
Grandma asked doubtfully, "Haiyao? Why don't you answer the phone? I've called several times. Maybe it's urgent."
Xu Yizhong also looked at her. Haiyao swallowed nervously and forced a smile, "But... maybe it's the hospital calling again."
With that said, he got up to get his phone and walked to the balcony.
Xu Yizhong looked at her back suspiciously, and grandma smiled and said, "Yizhong, please help her take care of Haiyao's sister's affairs. I see that she has lost a lot of weight recently, and her own wife doesn't feel sorry for her. Be careful."
Someone kidnapped her and ran away. There are so many good girls like Hai Yao that men like. If you don’t pay close attention, you will regret some of them in the future."
After grandma said this, Xu Yizhong also discovered that she had really lost a lot of weight.
On the other side of the balcony, Lu Haiyao whispered to Gu Tingchuan and lied, "I don't feel well today. I..."
"Then I'll go see you."
Does the implication mean that he wants to pay a visit?
She hurriedly said, "No!"
The other end seemed to be convinced of her, his tone was smiling but also threatening, "If you don't come, I will have to go find you."
Hai Yao was frustrated and could only grit her teeth and say, "I know!"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.
When she turned around, she saw Xu Yizhong standing behind her. She was stunned for a while, and her guilty reaction was even more suspicious.
Facing his suspicious gaze, she straightened her back, pretended to be calm, walked around him, and walked to the dining table.
**********
His car was waiting for her on the roadside.
Haiyao reluctantly stepped forward and got into the car.
Gu Tingchuan turned his head and looked at her with burning eyes. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he asked, "Is it cold?"
He reached out and grabbed her hand. She wanted to pull it away, but he held it tightly and didn't seem to pay attention to her resistance. He said to himself, "Your hands are so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"
That tone, soft, seemed to care about her.
Hai Yao looked at him, unable to tell what he was thinking.
Unable to struggle away, she simply let him hold her, as if she was being held by a pig. With this thought, she felt much more relaxed and looked out the car window.
Along the way, the two didn't talk much until his car drove into the hotel parking lot.
Hai Yao was flustered. She was not a fool and naturally knew what she was doing at the hotel.
After getting out of the car, she was afraid of being seen and wished she could keep a distance of 200 meters from him! But he openly held her hand and strode into the hotel. No matter how hard she tried to shake off his hand, she couldn't.
In vain.
It wasn't until he entered the elevator and came to the door of the suite that he looked sideways at her, raised his lips slightly, and asked knowingly, "My palms are all sweaty, why are you nervous?"
Before she could answer, the door to the suite opened.
Hai Yao was surprised to see several people in the room. The one who opened the door was Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was not too surprised to see her and said hello with a smile.
Gu Tingchuan pulled her inside, where several grown men were playing cards together.
These people were just like him, either business elites or the rich second generation. They often got together to eat, drink and have fun. Seeing that Gu Tingchuan had brought a girl, they smiled and said hello without being surprised. They were
Among all the people, who doesn’t know that Gu Tingchuan changes women more frequently than he changes clothes?
Haiyao felt embarrassed. What was his identity here?
She wanted to leave now, but he held her hand tightly, as if he knew what she was thinking, and asked casually, "Can you play?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone looked up cognizantly, stood up with a smile, "Just in time, I'm having a bad day today, come on, come on, sister-in-law, help me play."
Hai Yao was thin-skinned, and her face suddenly became hot.
Being held down by him and sitting down, facing three men, she thought awkwardly, "I don't know how to..."
"I won't teach you."
He sat next to her, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly and his warm eyes making everyone present smile meaningfully.
Hai Yao had no choice but to sit there like a good student, while he sat next to her, holding her hand from time to time to help her play her cards.
After playing a few games, I wonder if she was lucky and actually won a lot of money.
She also felt much more relaxed, with a slight smile on her lips.
Haiyao found that she was not a lady at all. She actually became interested in gambling, but no one had ever taken her to play like this before. Without involvement, she lived in a different world.
Time passed quickly, and after playing for an hour, Gu Tingchuan asked her if she was hungry, asked Zhang Wei to take over, took her hand and walked out of the room, went to the room next door, took out the room card, and opened the door.
Hai Yao's already relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
There were only her and him in the room here, which inevitably made her nervous and panicked.
He lowered his head and unbuttoned it gracefully, took off his silver-gray suit jacket and threw it on the big bed. He was wearing only a black shirt and looked extremely evil.
Seeing her standing behind her, as if she was going to the battlefield, he walked towards her and stood upright in front of her. His strong aura gave her a full sense of oppression. She could only lower her eyes and not look at him, silently
Waiting for everything to come.
After a long time, I heard his magnetic voice, "Are you nervous?"
Her heart was pounding inexplicably faster.
How could she not be nervous!!
Standing in front of him so clearly, she clearly knew what he wanted to do, but he was still reluctant to do it, so she had to guess what he was thinking.
Gu Tingchuan stretched out his hand to lift her chin and asked her to look at him. He noticed her delicate facial features and felt more and more like a certain face in his memory.
