Gong Yuning looked at the man who walked into her room domineeringly, and her eyes widened slightly. She closed the door, and said with some surprise, "Why didn"t you get off the boat?"
When He Lingchu came to find her, he didn"t intend to tell her that a killer had hidden on the boat, so as to not scare her.
"We missed the time." He Lingchu turned around and looked at her with bright eyes, "I can only disembark at the next dock.""I can pay your rent for the next few days. I don"t ask for much, just a place to stay." After He Lingchu finished speaking, he looked at the sofa in the hall, then pointed at it and said, "I can make do with sleeping on the sofa."
Gong Yuning thought of the last time when he acted frivolously towards her, and she immediately became vigilant. As a woman, she should have been on her guard against anyone who knew her.
Besides, she didn"t have a complete understanding of this man. What if he wanted to do something bad?
As if he had seen through her heart, He Lingchu"s gaze turned cold and narrowed, "Rest a.s.sured, I definitely won"t touch you, and I definitely won"t violate your will. I will only stay here for the time being."
"You … You can get a new room. "
"There"s nothing we can do. The guests have already ordered them to stay."
"Then you can go and live in a normal room." Gong Yuning asked again.
He Lingchu wanted to stay by her side so that he could protect her at close range. If he were to stay in a normal room on the fourth or third floor, then, there would be no way for him to quickly rush over if she met with any danger.
Thus, he gave up on this idea.
"You don"t believe me?" He Lingchu slightly raised his brows as he stared at her, revealing a false sense of loss.
Gong Yuning bit his lip, she also did not know whether she should believe him or not.
"I once blocked a bullet for you. You knew that if that bullet deviated a bit more, it would directly pierce through my heart. I would rather use my life to save you. Such a favor, you actually don"t believe me. It"s too disappointing." He Lingchu had to stay in her room no matter what.
As expected, the wariness in Gong Yuning"s eyes lessened a bit as she heard these words. She said seriously, "Regarding this matter, I am very grateful to you …"
"Very well, as long as you are grateful to me, then I will stay here with you." He Lingchu immediately cut her off and turned this favor into her payback.
"But …" Gong Yuning wanted to say that men and women shouldn"t be intimate with each other.
He Lingchu immediately interrupted her, "Don"t worry, I will definitely not do anything to you."
"How can I prove it …" Gong Yuning blinked and asked.
He Lingchu raised his gaze, and looked at her extremely confidently, as his thin lips opened and closed, "I have a woman I like."
This sentence, in addition to his expression, absolutely proved that he was not interested in any woman. Gong Yuning was slightly stunned, the complicated feelings in his heart surged up.
He Lingchu"s eyes flickered a little, "The last time I was drunk, I"m very sorry. That was when I violated you while I was unreasonably drunk. I guarantee that I won"t touch any alcohol during these few days."
In Gong Yuning"s mind, however, there was still the words he had just said: He has a woman he likes.
This sentence really made her extremely calm. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Alright, you can live here if you want! The sofa is for you to sleep on. "
He Lingchu heaved a small sigh of relief. He had finally obtained her trust and was no longer going to chase him away.
However, he suddenly felt a bit of regret. He"d said those words just now, but in order to gain her absolute trust, he"d had no choice but to say that he"d panicked.
"Aren"t you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous if you stay in my room?" Gong Yuning suddenly asked him, "At this time, should we misunderstand? It should be his girlfriend!"
He Lingchu was slightly startled, but he could only continue acting, "It"s fine, she believes in me a lot."
Gong Yuning suddenly thought of the time they spent together in the casino, and then remembered that he had given her a pink doll. It was already too warm, and she had taken care of him all night long, and had even given him a portrait she had drawn herself.
Yet she didn"t know that he was actually someone with an owner. It looked like she needed to maintain an absolutely safe distance from this man in the future.
She didn"t want to end up being misunderstood.
He Lingchu looked at the girl who was standing at the door with her arms crossed and a face full of thought. For some reason, he was a little nervous, so what was she thinking about?
"That... You should give me back the painting that I gave you last time! " Gong Yuning suddenly thought of this matter. She had even painted a corner of the painting.
This must not be seen by his girlfriend.
He Lingchu"s black pupils slightly tightened. His first thought was naturally that he was unwilling to do so as he said in a low voice, "Since you"ve already given it to me, why must you return it?"
"Because I wrote my name in the corner of that painting. If your girlfriend saw it, she would definitely misunderstand you. I don"t want to create trouble for you." Gong Yuning said seriously.
He Lingchu panicked for some reason, and said, "It"s fine, I can explain it to her."
When Gong Yuning saw that his intentions were not going to be returned, she could only exhale, "Alright, you handle it yourself!"
After she finished speaking, Gong Yuning walked into her own master bedroom. In that moment, she felt something on her chest, and it was a little uncomfortable. Her mind started to imagine, what kind of ident.i.ty did He Lingchu like, that girl? What did he look like? It must be some rich young miss!
If she had known earlier that he had a girlfriend, she would not have gotten so close to him.
He Lingchu sat on the sofa and looked at the only pink cloth doll on the sofa.
He was slightly startled, obviously An Delu also gifted two to it that day, could it be that it was especially stored away?
He Lingchu looked around and saw the two in front of the cabinet, on top of a decorative stage, and two children sitting side by side.
He looked at the pink cloth doll on the sofa, which meant that Gong Yuning was sitting on the sofa and the one she liked to hug was the one he gave her.
It was clearly just a conjecture, yet He Lingchu was actually unable to explain his feelings, and was somewhat happy.
Other than his phone and wallet, He Lingchu did not have a single change of clothes on him. In the past few days, he had to find a few sets of clothes.
At this moment, within the room, Gong Yuning also realized this. If this man wanted to stay with her, then this place only had one set of equipment for her. They couldn"t possibly share all of it!
As long as she thought of him as someone who had a girlfriend, she was more concerned about sharing things between them.
