Chapter 326 See If She Was Heartless Or Not

It was late at night. The sky was in a dark blue color, and there was a slight red light in the sky, perhaps because the atmosphere was contaminated. Although there were many stars, they were not very bright, as if they were covered by a layer of ash, making the sky not as beautiful as the starry sky by the sea.

Yawan was a very big city. Even if one stood at the highest point of the city center and looked into the distance, he could not see the sea, but there was still a faint smell of the sea in the wind.

Gu Nianbin held a glass of red wine and stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the bustling city under his feet in a daze.

He couldn’t have thought that Du Xiaoxian would actually be hiding here.

Yawan had always been a place he did not want to think of. He did not want to remember anything related to Du Xiaoxian.

It was Gu Shanshan who advised him, “Brother, how long are you going to run from reality? Do you want to continue like this for the rest of your life? Only by walking out of her shadow can you truly start your own life. Going to Yawan is a good opportunity for you. I think you should give it a try.”

He also felt that he should have a try. Just as Gu Shanshan said, was he really going to live like this for the rest of his life?

Why could that woman easily leave him with someone else’s child while he had to mourn for his lost love for the rest of his life?

So here he came.

However, fate played tricks on him. The last person he wanted to see just appeared in front of his eyes!

Five years of time did not leave any marks on her face. It was still the same as he remembered. She had big, bright eyes, a small nose, and pink lips. The moment she saw him, she was shocked and frightened, but there was no joy on her face at all.

For so many years, he had always hated her, but at this moment, his hatred reached its peak!

She said she could not adapt to his world!

She said she did not feel safe with him!

She said that she only wanted to be like ordinary people, getting married, having children, and living a stable life!

It was all bullshit!

How could she adapt to Lu Haochen’s world?

How could following Lu Haochen give her a sense of security?

Was Lu Haochen an ordinary person?

It was all nonsense but an excuse for her to leave!

He lifted up his head and poured all the red wine into his mouth. He swallowed it in big mouthfuls. The wine flowed down from his throat. Coldness quickly gathered in his stomach before flowing to his limbs and bones. His entire body got cold.

She lied to him. No matter what the real purpose of her departure was, she lied to him!

There was one thing he didn’t understand. Du Xiaoxian was clearly pregnant with Du Huayue’s child. Then why didn’t she marry Du Huayue but now dated Lu Haochen instead? Didn’t she give birth to that child?

If she was really married to Du Huayue, he would not say anything. But no, she was with Lu Haochen. Just like when they were together, she was carefully cared for by Lu Haochen.

So he was angry and wanted to cut open her chest to see if she was heartless or not!

Wind blew into his collar, blowing up the clothes on his back, but it could not extinguish the anger in his heart.

Suddenly, a hand gently rested on his shoulder. A faint fragrance came to him. A warm body approached, but it maintained a distance of twenty centimeters, not touching his back.

“It’s so late. Why are you drinking alone?” Lan Guo walked up with a smile and stood side by side with him.

“Why are you here?”

“I saw over there that you are drinking, so I come to ask for a drink!” Lan Guo giggled.

Gu Nianbin picked up the bottle of red wine on the balcony railing and waved it at her. “If you want to drink, go in and get a glass.” As he spoke, he poured some wine into his empty glass.

Lan Guo went into the room and took out a glass. She asked Gu Nianbin to pour some for her, clinked glasses with him, and took a small sip.

“What’s wrong? Is it not going well?”

Gu Nianbin turned around and looked at the bright city lights under his feet. He replied lightly, “Not bad.”

When she came in, she could obviously feel the sinister aura on his body. But in the blink of an eye, the sinister aura completely dissipated, and he became the gentle and elegant Gu Nianbin again, with his usual indifference and alienation.

Lan Guo thought that she had dealt with countless people and there was no man she could not see through. But she really couldn’t see through Gu Nianbin! And because of this, she got fascinated by him.

She had heard a little of Gu Nianbin’s story. He seemed to have courted a childhood sweetheart for many years but proposed to another girl later. Then he chose to marry his childhood sweetheart. But in the end, he did not get together with either of them. She was not clear with and not interested in the specific reasons. She only knew that she was with him now.

After working hard in the entertainment circle for so many years, she was tired. Sometimes, she really wanted to find someone to marry. There were many people chasing after her, but even though there were so many choices, she did not find her Mr. Right. Then she met Gu Nianbin.

Gu Nianbin did not take the initiative to pursue her. They met at a dinner party. The movie that she took on was invested by the Xia Group. It turned out to be a blockbuster. At the celebration party, they met.

She had a deep impression of Gu Nianbin. He was a very silent person who always wore a faint smile on his face. They were on a very lively occasion, but she felt that he was drifting away from everyone else. It was as if he was the only sober mind in a world of drunkards!

She made a phone call to him first and thought that he would refuse her because it was actually a bit abrupt, but he gladly accepted the appointment.

That time, they chatted very happily, as if they had been old friends for many years. As they chatted and laughed, they left a good impression on each other.

Then they naturally started to date. But the more they got to know each other, the more she couldn’t understand him.

Every time they went out, it was to eat. He almost took her to all the famous restaurants in G City. She thought he was keen on delicious food, but he did not eat much himself and always let her eat more.

In front of her, he was always modest, gentle, smiling, and elegant. He was like a typical gentleman, completely without the frivolity and arrogance of men from rich families. She secretly rejoiced that she had found the right person.

However, what she thought was natural stopped here and could not go any further. After being together for so long, he rarely even held her hand, let alone kissing and hugging. If it were any other man, he would probably sleep with her. This made her suspect that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.

However, he had also looked at her tenderly. Every time he watched her eat, he would hold his chin and stare at her intently. He would also pick up food for her from time to time. His voice was also gentle and low. “Eat more. You are too thin.”

It was only at this time that she felt that he liked her.

In order to maintain a good look in the camera, she usually calculated calories when eating. Only in front of him, she didn’t care about this, because she was intoxicated in his eyes and bewitched by his low voice. He let her eat, and she would eat, even when she was full.

Other than that, he was indifferent and distant. He was clearly right beside her, but it seemed that their hearts were separated by thousands of miles.

For example, at this moment, he had a sharp profile in the night, and his lower jaw was slightly tight. Although his expression was as calm as usual, she knew that he was angry in his heart and only hoped that she was not the one who angered him.

Gu Nianbin had never been a person who easily expressed his emotions on his face. Although he often had a smile, that did not mean that he was happy. When he was unhappy, he did not have any expression and there may even be a faint smile on his face, but his lower jaw would tighten. She had observed for a long time and finally found this.

So in the beginning, she sometimes offended him, but she did not know.

Only when he stopped answering her phone or replying to her message did she realize that something was wrong. But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out why she had angered him.

One time, she went to the Gu family residence for him. When she got out of the car, she saw a big broom on the ground. She picked it up casually and saw some fallen leaves scattered on the ground, so she swept the ground on a whim. Then she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. When she raised her head, she saw Gu Nianbin standing by the window on the second floor, looking at her with a half-smile.

She waved at him, put the broom aside, and went upstairs. When she pushed the door open, Gu Nianbin was leaning against the window with his arms crossed. He smiled at her and said, “What should I do? I don’t seem to have time to accompany you today.”

She was stunned for a moment and slowly walked over. She forced a smile, “Are you going out?”

He was still smiling. “No, I want to stay alone.”

He was standing against the light, but she could see very clearly that his lower jaw was tight. From then on, as long as she saw his lower jaw tense up, she would tactfully remain silent or leave.

At that time, she still didn’t know why she had offended him. He had clearly agreed to come out with her. When they were on the phone, he was still very normal. Why did his attitude suddenly change? Was it because she had swept the ground? If it was really because of this, then it was really strange!

Later, she found out that not only did he not like her sweeping the floor, but he also did not like her doing anything for him, such as cleaning the room, picking clothes, and so on. Besides, she found out that he did not like her combing her hair in a ponytail, did not like her wearing short hair, did not like her wearing cute clothes, did not like to take photos with her, and even did not like her reading books. In short, he was a weird man!

But these eccentricities did not damage his image in her mind, but instead made her even more fascinated. A handsome, rich, gentlemanly, and somewhat eccentric man was more attractive, wasn’t he?

“Am I so good-looking that you cannot stop staring at me?” The man’s tone carried a hint of tease.

She came back to her senses and raised her glass to drink, only to find that the glass was empty. She did not know when she had finished it. She poured herself some more and added some for Gu Nianbin. She said casually, “Nianbin, why do I feel that you have something on your mind?”

“Really? You can see that?” He laughed. “Lan Guo, it’s not good for a woman to be too smart.”

“I know you don’t want to tell me.” She looked at him seriously and said, “If you tell me, I may not be able to help you. However, it is not good to keep secrets in your heart. Even if I can’t solve it for you, I am a very good listener. Sometimes, no matter how strong a man is, he needs to talk.” She curled her lips and smiled a little playfully. “But if it is an important matter, don’t tell me. I’m afraid you will kill me to silence me!”

Gu Nianbin also laughed. “Maybe not kill, but I will make you unable to speak for the rest of your life.”

She sucked in a breath of cold air. “So ruthless?” Then she smiled slyly. “When I can’t say, I can write down your secret with a pen!”

Gu Nianbin let out a regretful “oh” and continued, “I forgot about this!”

They laughed and clinked their glasses happily. The atmosphere suddenly became better.

However, Lan Guo noticed that although his face had softened a lot, his lower jaw was still tight.

She was shocked. How could someone do this? She studied performance, so she had studied facial expressions. Even a professional like her couldn’t make it. How did he do it?

She knew that he would not say it, because he had never really revealed his heart to her, but she would not give up. She had to strive for her own happiness, and she still had a chance.
