Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 674 - 277. [The Summer of Dew] "Gu Shaozhi, I almost believed you..."_4
If earlier she was subtly rejecting him, now she was openly repelling him.
Gu Shaozhi knew why.
He acted as if he hadn’t noticed the coldness in the woman’s eyes, habitually wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into his embrace, the authoritative suit jacket draped over his shoulders.
With a low, gentle voice, "I’m just putting a coat on you, has it reached the level of ’feigning affection’?"
Although the man’s grip wasn’t heavy, it wasn’t something Ji Wanxia could easily escape from.
Moreover, both her hands were trapped inside the coat; the more she struggled, the tighter she was held.
Wanxia bit deeply into the man’s chest, almost screaming out, "Gu Shaozhi, let me go!"
Her temperament and upbringing weren’t the kind that would have her kicking and punching someone in public.
But now, she didn’t care about the glances of passersby; she only wanted to break free from him.
Gu Shaozhi’s eyes briefly swept over the stunned man by the car, it was a warning.
The man came to his senses and hurriedly walked away.
Gu Shaozhi kissed the top of the woman’s head, soothing her gently, "Be good, let’s go home and take the medicine, change clothes, and I’ll take you wherever you want to go."
Of course, except for leaving.
Wanxia stopped struggling because she ran out of strength.
She tilted her head, her moist eyes seemed to be covered by a mist, she asked word by word, "You knew all along this would be the outcome, didn’t you?"
Gu Shaozhi stared at the woman, the gentle curve of his lips gradually fading, the emotions in his dark eyes were complex and difficult to discern.
After a while, he finally responded, "Yes."
See, he really did know everything.
People indeed don’t have the ability to predict the future, but if one has control over all related events from the start, knowing all possibilities pointing in the same direction, the final result, even with deviations, wouldn’t stray too far from the expected outcome.
"Then why are you still pretending?"
Wanxia was laughing, but tears suddenly welled up and fell from her eyes, dropping on the black suit.
She looked into the man’s calm black eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "During all this time, you watched me like I was a clown, did you find it ridiculous?"
Gu Shaozhi watched as her unexpected tears rolled down, his heart aching intermittently.
His deep eyes masked by a facade of calmness, showed no trace of emotion, his thin lips parted slightly, "No."
Wanxia was embraced in the man’s arms, able to see the orange-red sunset slowly being swallowed by layers of buildings, the world’s light dimming little by little.
She continued to smile, her voice frail and distant, "You knew everything, so why did you still give me those feeble proofs? Did you find it amusing to play with me?"
Nothing was done by Shen Weiyi, Qiu Zheng was truly a mentally ill patient, so there would be no direct evidence.
Aside from photos and emotional disputes, those transfer records were actually the most crucial, but she hadn’t expected Qiu Zheng to have a brother in need of medical aid.
The large amount of remittances was justified after all.
It seems, there’s no real ’karma’ in the world.
Those who leave after enduring grievances will be forgotten, as time passes, no one cares anymore about those innocently implicated who still haven’t recovered, because new things happen every day.
Wanxia waited for a long time, but the man never responded.
Her calves exposed to the air were numb and cold, she didn’t feel the chill anymore, this dress was unintentionally packed with Pea’s luggage when she moved in.
In that villa, only this dress belonged to her.
"You see, you can’t even give a reason," using all her strength, perhaps owing to her prolonged compliance the man had become lax, this time she managed to break free from his arms.
Gu Shaozhi instinctively wanted to grab her, but seeing her desolate and indifferent gaze, all his movements froze in the air.
A reason...
He had never thought of a reason.
All the aims and means were simply to hold onto her for one more day.
Some things have to be resolved, but, not now.
Gu Shaozhi focused on those reddened eyes, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his heart like a storm-tossed sea, but the words that came out were, "It’s cold outside, let’s talk at home."
Home...
When this word drifted into her ear, Wanxia wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, this time she didn’t consider that place her home.
She looked distantly at the sunset, her long hair billowing in the wind, tangled and dancing.
Wanxia pulled the suit jacket off her shoulders, casually tossing it onto the car hood, because even if she handed it to him, he wouldn’t take it.
Might as well save the time and trouble.
"It was always just a business deal, you should’ve grown tired of my antics long ago, and now it ends within your control, you’re free too."
As she walked past the man, her wrist was caught.
Wanxia lowered her head, she could still see the wedding ring on the man’s ring finger, reflecting the setting sun’s afterglow, each glimmer piercing the heart.
She brushed away the man’s hand, her voice as clear and calm as water, "I’ll let you go, so let me go too."
The red hem of her dress had long disappeared, yet Gu Shaozhi still stood there, maintaining the position from which he was pushed away.
His well-defined fingers slowly clenched, but they only grasped empty, cold air.
Dark eyes narrowed slightly, all the emotions hidden within.
A self-mocking smile tugged at his lips, he murmured to himself, "Wanwan, how do you know if I’m tired and resentful, or willingly letting you torment me..."
————
Across the street stood a woman, dressed lightly, her skirt billowing in the breeze.
The street lamps cast a dim light, her long hair unruly and flying, initially, the agent couldn’t make out her face, just felt a chill being watched by her like that.
Removing her glasses, she rubbed her eyes and then saw the face. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
My goodness, isn’t that Ji Wanxia!
The agent swallowed hard, covering her mouth as she leaned close to Shen Weiyi’s ear, cautiously saying, "Sister Weiwei, Ji Wanxia doesn’t seem quite right, maybe you shouldn’t go over...right?"
Not even sure what was going on with today’s live stream, Sister Weiwei is the most popular artist of the Gu Family, yet someone dared to throw out those false accusations!
It’s easy to see it’s a deliberate frame-up by someone!
Luckily, with a righteous reputation, Sister Weiwei isn’t afraid of shadows, it ended smoothly, and the concert’s popularity even far exceeded expectations.
Today’s been unlucky enough, better not have anything else go wrong!
Even ten meters away, Shen Weiyi seemed to see the ice in Wanxia’s eyes, even just standing there, she knew how desperate and hateful Wanxia felt now...
