Chapter 326: Are You Still Unable To Let Go? (2)
Gu Yu didn’t open his mouth. He didn’t even look at her. No one knew if he felt it wasn’t worth replying to her or if he thought that there was no need to explain to her. His gaze remained fixed on the phone he threw on the table.
Yun Rou sat on the sofa, her posture n.o.ble and elegant. It was extremely delightful to look at her. Regardless, she didn’t manage to attract Gu Yu’s attention at all.
Half a minute later, Gu Yu moved his thin lips and finally opened his mouth, “Four minutes.”
Yun Rou pursed her lips. Her smile froze for a split second but quickly disappeared.
“Yu, you understand me. My goal has always been to be on the international stage. A few years ago, an entertainment company laid eyes on me and wanted to sign a contract with me to enter the acting industry. However, I rejected them. I will only do what I like and what I think is worth doing.”
“This time, I came back for my worldwide tour. Over here is my first station, and it’s in my home country. For me to give my best performance, my training regime is extremely harsh. Initially, when the people from the Gu Corporation approached my team, they rejected them. If I become your brand amba.s.sador, I will need to take time out to promote the brand with you. It will be a distraction for me, and I will not be able to concentrate on my performance.”
She paused for a moment and looked at Gu Yu. There was a gentleness in her eyes. “But, this is the Gu Corporation. Any business of the Gu Corporation is your business, too. Between you and me, there’s nothing much to say. As long as you need me, I will be here. And so, after I found out about this matter, I agreed.”
Yun Rou sighed softly. She seemed to remember something, so she opened her mouth and continued, “Yu, I know that I owe you because I left you under those circ.u.mstances. Now, you already have many things. I don’t know how to compensate you, so I don’t want to give up on this opportunity. I will try my best to repay you.”
Gu Yu raised his head. His gaze was profound; he didn’t show any emotions. And he looked her in the eye.
The man’s face was extremely handsome. Even though his gaze was cold and distant, it was still enough to make anyone’s heart palpitate.
The next second, Yun Rou heard the man’s voice. “Five minutes have ended.” There was no warmth in his voice.

Gu Yu didn’t even spare an extra moment. He took his phone and got up immediately. As soon as he was on his feet, he strode towards the door.
Yun Rou knew that he would be indifferent, but she didn’t expect him to be so heartless.
But, how could Gu Yu be heartless towards her? She was Yun Rou. She was the one who kept him company for five whole years!
Yun Rou took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She got up as well, and, with a few quick steps, caught up with Gu Yu. She blocked his path and raised her head to look at him.
She still remembers the past when she was taller than him, and she would always lower her head and look at him gently. Now, she had to tilt her neck up before she could see him.
“Yu, are you still going to reject me from being your brand amba.s.sador?”
Although her tone sounded a little agitated, Yun Rou’s voice was still gentle enough to mesmerize anyone. She bit her lips and sighed softly. When she opened her mouth again, there was helplessness and an almost imperceptible hint of joy in her tone. “Yu, if you continue to reject me like this, I will think that you’re still unable to let go of the fact that I left you in the past!”
Yun Rou clenched her fist tightly. Unconsciously, she took a step closer to Gu Yu. Her lips were trembling slightly as she repeated herself, “Yu, is that the truth? Are you still unable to let go?”
