I was wondering how to gloss over this awkward topic.
Clearly more anxious than me, Ye Mengyan tossed her suitcase aside and darted towards Gu Yuanzhou.
“Brother Gu, I will not leave! I want to live here!”
Gu Yuanzhou was wearing a black shirt at the moment, emitting an icy cool charm.
His allure was different from Ding Yinuo’s.
Ding Yinuo’s charm was sunny.
His charm was dark.
It was the kind that made people feel cold, a bone-chilling cold, especially when he gazed at you with a hint of harshness in his eyes.
It could make people feel afraid and submissive from their heart.
Unexpectedly, he coldly rejected Ye Mengyan.
“Not possible, you have to move out.”
“Brother Gu, do you dislike the meals that Mengyan cooks for you? Or did Mengyan do something wrong?”
She whined, and tears dived down her face as she talked.
Indeed, tears are a woman’s best weapon. Seeing her shed tears like this, Gu Yuanzhou must be feeling really bad, right?
In fact, I don’t understand why Gu Yuanzhou made her move out and asked me to move in!
“Didn’t I tell you before, come back after three months?”
“Brother Gu, I worry about you, without me, no one will take care of your meals and daily life, no one will help you with your laundry, no one will care about you! What if you get sick?”
“I’ve already arranged everything!”
Hearing this, I was slightly startled.
During the day at the company, Gu Yuanzhou had said he’d have Ye Mengyan move out. I didn’t expect he’d really followed through.
Seeing Ye Mengyan crying so pitifully, it didn’t seem like Gu Yuanzhou had any intentions of being soft-hearted.
Just then, a car slowly approached outside, and Gu Yuanzhou personally saw Ye Mengyan into it.
In the end, Ye Mengyan held onto Gu Yuanzhou and wept for a long time, seemingly reluctant to leave.
Under the moonlight, their intimate embrace deeply pained my eyes.
I wondered, if I had found out about these two sooner while I was alive, would the outcome have been different?
Unfortunately, I trusted Gu Yuanzhou too much.
Everything can’t go back to the way it was before.
While Gu Yuanzhou had yet to enter the house, I brought my luggage inside first.
I leaned against the door, my thoughts revisiting the scene I just witnessed.
After some time,
My phone rang.
I lowered my head to take a look, it was a text from Gu Yuanzhou, just two words, “Come up!”
After a while, I realized… he must be upstairs…
It’s such a short distance. If he needs something, he could just come down. It’s only a few steps, but he insists on making me go up.
What an attitude!
I didn’t indulge him, and directly replied,
“President Gu, I’m already in bed. Can we talk about it tomorrow?”
The reply from him came even more decisively, just two words, “No!”
In the dead of night, he had just sent Ye Mengyan away and now urgently needed to see me. What is he up to?
First, I reflected on myself to see if I had done anything too noticeable recently. After confirming I had not,
I adjusted my emotions and then went upstairs.
Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t asleep. He sat leisurely in his study wearing a black shirt.
It seemed Ye Mengyan leaving did not trouble him at all.
“President Gu, what did you need me for?”
“Sit down and let’s finish this chess game!”
He had a game of Go set up on the table.
I took a glance. It didn’t look hard!
“President Gu, I’m not very skilled at chess! I’m afraid you might find it funny!”
“If you can beat me in a game, I’ll grant you one request!”
When I was a child, my aunt registered me for a chess interest class. I’ve always had a special affection for chess.
But in the many years that Gu Yuanzhou and I have been in love and married, I have never seen him play chess. Occasionally, when I was playing chess with the kids, I would ask him to join.
He always politely declined, stating he wasn’t good at it.
So at this moment, I didn’t give it much thought and agreed.
“You better keep your word, President Gu!”
“When have I ever gone back on my word?”
“Fine!”
I have no patience. After sitting down, I get straight to the point. I figured I could beat Gu Yuanzhou in 15 moves.
Surprisingly, this man who claimed himself to be no good at chess defeated me in less than ten steps.
Staring at the state of my complete defeat, I was shocked.
“I never expected, President Gu, you to have such a high skill in chess!”
Gu Yuanzhou calmly rearranged the chessboard,
“You’re just too impatient! Nothing good comes from being too hasty! Chess is all about mindset. If your mindset isn’t good, you start losing from the get-go.”
“President Gu, you really are a dark horse!”
“Want another round?”
“I’m afraid there’s no way I could ever win against President Gu!”
“Not daring enough?”
“Let’s give it a shot!”
I don’t believe I can’t beat Gu Yuanzhou.
This man usually can’t play chess to save his life. How could I possibly not beat him?
Perhaps it’s really due to my impatience, or perhaps it’s because I want to defeat him too much.
Subsequently, provoked by his challenge, we played ten rounds, and I lost every time.
And each loss was more disastrous than the last.
Finally, he turned his probing gaze to me, “Do you really want me dead that badly?”
His words shocked me.
It was then I snapped awake. He was ostensibly playing chess with me, but in reality, he was testing my attitude towards him.
This man hides his thoughts so well. He’s more dangerous than I previously imagined.
I quickly got my emotions in check.
“President Gu is mistaken. How could I possibly want you to die? Chess is just a game and doesn’t represent anything… But, I have been wanting to beat you, President Gu – I do have a little request in mind!”
“Oh, what request?”
“I’ll tell you when I can finally beat President Gu. If not, there’s no point in mentioning it.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked deeply into my eyes, knocked over all the pieces and reset the board.
However, this round I was much more focused. After analyzing the past few games, I had basically gotten the hang of how Gu Yuanzhou played chess.
He liked to set a trap, use his pawn to bait me, then slowly ambush and overwhelm me.
This time, I planned to attack his weak defense on the right side…
Just as I was playing with gusto, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and said, “I am going to take a call!”
Even though he had stepped outside, I still overheard a woman’s voice from the phone.
He quickly returned.
“Was that Miss Ye?”
I tentatively asked a question.
Gu Yuanzhou made no effort to cover, “She just moved into a new place and isn’t used to it. A minor situation occurred!”
“Oh!”
I responded flatly. “Not used to it” was just an excuse to get Gu Yuanzhou’s attention and have him dote on her, right?
What I didn’t expect was that Ye Mengyan’s call had actually affected Gu Yuanzhou.
This round, he actually lost!
