“Indeed, in the past, I couldn’t move around easily, so I rarely went out for a stroll. These past few years, I’ve had some time and can move on my own, so now I want to visit all the places I haven’t been to in years, to make up for my past. Maybe I’ll even run into someone I’ve been wanting to see,” Gu Chen said with a faint smile.
Gu Chen’s words seemed casual, but they carried a touch of melancholy.
However, Shen Xi suddenly recalled something Guan Lei had once said: Gu Chen was not the type to go shopping. So, she wondered if Gu Chen had intentionally injured himself back then.
What did Gu Chen mean by this today? Could it be that he had already antic.i.p.ated what Guan Lei would say, so he was subtly explaining in advance?
And at the same time, saying some ambiguous words?
In just a moment, Shen Xi dismissed her speculation. Regardless of what kind of person Gu Chen was, it had nothing to do with her.
Shen Xi politely asked, “Are your previous injuries all healed?”
Gu Chen nodded, “They’re all healed. Just a few scars. But I think having some scars is not bad; it gives a more masculine look.”
Gu Chen’s self-deprecating words amused Shen Xi.
She smiled and thought that Gu Chen was right; he did have a somewhat girlish appearance.
Just then, Gu Chen’s gaze fell on Shen Xi’s fair neck, where there was a ring of reddish skin. His eyes instantly turned cold.
However, the moment Shen Xi looked up, that cold gaze disappeared, replaced by his usual smile when facing Shen Xi.
“Xi, are you and Guan Lei really together now? You were together last night,” Gu Chen abruptly asked.
Gu Chen was aware that his question might have seemed out of place and even inappropriate, yet he could not control himself.
In all his years, this was the first time he felt so impatient.
Shen Xi was a bit surprised that Gu Chen asked if she was with Guan Lei last night, but she was not offended.
After all, being with Guan Lei was a happy thing for her, especially last night.
With a smile in her eyes, she replied, “Yes, Guan Lei and I are together. We were together last night.”
Gu Chen tried to maintain a faint smile on his face, but when Shen Xi mentioned Guan Lei, the happy and sweet blush on her face made him incredibly jealous.
Realizing that he might not be able to maintain a dignified demeanor, Gu Chen quickly said, “l have something to do, so I’ll leave for now. We can plan to meet another time.’
Shen Xi just nodded and, after watching Gu Chen leave, continued to buy her dessert.
Gu Chen had to suppress the anger burning inside him as he returned to the company, and he even scolded Gu Qing harshly when he came to report on his work.
Gu Ning had just received a script, and she was delighted. It was a serious drama directed by a renowned director, which would greatly benefit her future career.
If she could win the Best Actress award through this script, perhaps she could break free from the influence of the two Gu brothers and the humiliation they put her through.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, Gu Ning walked to her room with a beaming face. However, before she could enter, she was intercepted by Gu Qing.
It seemed that Gu Qing was not in a good mood today. He slightly tugged at his tie in irritation and his eyes gleamed with a cruel light as he said to Gu Ning, “Freshen up and come to my room in a while.”
Hearing Gu Qings voice, which was almost demonic, Gu Nings muscles quivered involuntarily, and she responded softly, “Okay!”
Gu Qing looked at the obedient Gu Ning with disdain, then pushed open the door to his room and went inside.
After cleaning himself thoroughly, he submerged himself in the bath to relax.
Lately, everything had been quite bizarre. None of his projects were going smoothly, and even Gu Chen was finding fault with him, making it difficult for him in the company.
Particularly today, Gu Chen had exploded like a powder keg and lashed out at him in front of others, damaging his reputation within the organization. This had frustrated him so much that he returned home in anger.
He had no idea what had gotten into Gu Chen, making him behave like a lunatic.
If there ever came a day when Gu Chen fell into his hands, he would make sure Gu Chen regrets ever crossing him.
It would be unbearable, especially for someone like Gu Chen, who looked so effeminate.
After closing his eyes for a while, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Gu Qing, with a cold and unwelcoming expression, opened his eyes and saw Gu Ning entering, dressed in provocative lingerie.
It seemed that she had become more obedient lately, perhaps to avoid suffering. She had even learned some new ways to please him..
