Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 101: Whatever He Can Give You, I Can Give Too_1
What Jin Xiangbei said was quite ordinary, and seemed to be close to the truth, but for some reason, the others listening had a feeling that there was something stirring under his words.
As for what that was, they didn’t understand.
Eleven didn’t know what to do at this point, and the only thing in her mind was two words: It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!
In front of so many people, she couldn’t explain it to either side, meanwhile, she inevitably offended both sides!
Just then, Gu Liancheng got up.
He stood before them, his gaze as if he intended to skewer them.
The others in the room could smell the incense of a spreading powder keg in the air.
However, they just thought it was a power struggle between two men, unrelated to the woman who was unfortunately caught in the middle.
Seeing the tension, Director Zhang quickly stood up and started mediating, "It’s just a woman! There are plenty here, come on, go out!"
His solution was to let the woman leave, and both men could choose others, it didn’t matter who got whom, and it would save both men’s face. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
What Director Zhang didn’t know was that the relationship between the three of them was not as he thought.
Eleven was ready to leave, eager to get away from this nuisance, but Jin Xiangbei firmly held her arm, not looking at her but staring at Gu Liancheng and said, "You are my woman, you’re not going anywhere, just stay by my side."
At this point, Zhang had no idea what to do.
However, it was Gu Liancheng who broke the silence first, his icy face finally showed a change in expression, although it was but a slight tweak at the corner of the mouth, it still brought a relaxed atmosphere.
He held out his hand and said, "Director Zhang is right, it’s just a woman, why make a big fuss? If CEO Jin likes her, let him have her. But be careful when you eat, don’t choke."
Jin Xiangbei kept his cool, smiled lightly, "Then I thank Mr. Gu for his generous donation."
A fierce battle seemed to have ended, everyone got back to their own positions.
Eleven tried to gauge Gu Liancheng’s emotions, but he refused to look at her and turned away.
She was embraced back to the seat by Jin Xiangbei, who also affectionately made her sit in his arms.
Upon seeing this, Zhang picked a girl of approximately Eleven’s age among those present and instructed her to accompany Gu Liancheng.
The men talked about their own affairs, but Eleven knew that the underlying tension between Gu Liancheng and Jin Xiangbei hadn’t dissipated.
She could occasionally catch Gu Liancheng’s glances towards her, although they were as calm as ever, but she always felt that was the calm before the storm, making the tension even more suffocating.
Jin Xiangbei was always deliberately affectionate to her, from Gu Liancheng’s point of view it appeared as if he was whispering sweet nothings, but in reality, he was not. He leaned close to Eleven’s ear and said, "With things the way they are, he won’t want you anymore."
"Jin Xiangbei, what are you trying to do?"
Eleven dared not to create a scene, she was constantly on edge.
Everything seemed calm now but she was afraid that one wrong move could unsettle the situation and snowball into something unpredictable.
"You love him, but it’s likely he doesn’t love you. What he loves is your body, to him, you and other women are no different. Otherwise, how could a man let another man take his woman and show no resentment?"
Eleven was stunned for a moment.
She couldn’t deny it, she agreed with what he said.
Gu Liancheng didn’t love her, but what Jin Xiangbei didn’t know was that she didn’t love Gu Liancheng either.
Their relationship was not what he had imagined from the start.
"To make you leave him and come to me, that is what I intend to do," he said in her ear, "Eleven, whatever he can give you, I can give it too."
