CH 29

The night she returned home, Qin Yufei was sleepless.

Before going to bed, Gu Yingjie called her to say good night, although they had only been separated for a few hours, but Qin Yufei felt it had been a long time. When she went to bed afterwards, this illusion of time also troubled her, because she actually felt uncomfortable sleeping alone.

But obviously Gu Yingjie slept with her for only one night, one night only. He must have drugged her. The womanizer had given her a bewitching drug.

Qin Yufei sighs, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, feeling a little unhappy. A trip on a plane, two cities, but it seems to be two worlds. In that world, she can be simple and unrestrained, she can be in love, cursing, and be pampered. But back home, back in this world, that girl disappeared and became what she is now. She that has been hurt, has experienced, and is calculating about reality.

She feels she is not as happy as when she was outside, really does not want to work, really does not want to stay here, she wants to go out on vacation with Gu Yingjie. But no matter how long the vacation is, it’s always back. Qin Yufei sighed again.

She suddenly thought that she forgot to ask Gu Yingjie about his little actress girlfriend and forgot to ask him about the girl who confessed her love for him. He said he was not familiar with the girl who confessed, but he admitted the actress was his girlfriend.

Qin Yufei rolled over. The more she thinks about it, the more annoyed she gets. The reason tells her she should trust Gu Yingjie. He knows her temper. If he still has a relationship with any woman, then he should not come to court her. But emotionally, she was uncomfortable. After all, he hadn’t clarified it with her personally, and how could she have forgotten to ask?

Now all the things that should and should not be done, she has done with Gu Yingjie, and then asks him about this. It feels like it will be very humiliating. Qin Yufei took the phone and looked at it, it was now past two o’clock at night. She was uncomfortable not to call the womanizer, so she called.

The phone rang for a long time before Gu Yingjie picked it up, sounding confused, like he had just been woken up. “Baby, what’s wrong with you?” He said the words like it contained them in his mouth, which seemed distinctly sexy.

“Nothing. I just wanted to see if you were asleep.” Qin Yufei said, now in an inexplicably better mood.

“Hmm.” Gu Yingjie seemed a little more awake. “Half asleep. Then a nuisance called me.”

Qin Yufei giggled and was in a better mood again.

“What does the nuisance want?” Gu Yingjie asked.

Qin Yufei thought for a while, but couldn’t think of anything meaningful to talk about, so she casually rambled: “Gu Yingjie, I’m asking you oh.”

“Hmm.”

“Am I your beloved (心头肉)?”

“Huh?” Gu Yingjie rubbed the corner of his forehead and asked her rhetorically, “How meaty (肉) of an answer do you want to hear?”

“Hmph, am I such a superficial person?” Qin Yufei was fierce. “Tell me the truth.”

“Oh.” Gu Yingjie didn’t refute her about who was talking about the superficial white, rich girl every day. He replied, “You are not. What the hell is (心头肉) heart flesh? You are obviously my migraine. Now it’s in the middle of an attack.”

Qin Yufei laughed out loud.

Gu Yingjie helplessly asked, “Are you in a better mood now?”

T/n: it’s a game of word, Qin Yufei means beloved, but Gu Yingjie means literally the flesh of the heart. Both 心头肉 Xīntóuròu

“It’s okay.”

“So, are you going to sleep?”

“Okay.”

“Good night then.” Gu Yingjie glanced at his watch. It was so late. This person really deserved a spanking.

Qin Yufei turned over in bed, couldn’t hang up the phone, but she also knew it was time to hang up, finally dawdled for a while and said, “Gu Yingjie, you are a womanizer, don’t you deny it!”

“Well, tomorrow night we will have dinner together. We can have time to discuss this issue properly.”

“Not tomorrow.” Qin Yufei subconsciously refused. They only been together for two days, and immediately meet again. Is not a little too often?

“Why?”

“I promised to accompany my mom.” She lied and regretted it after she finished. She shouldn’t have beaten around the bush so much. She was the one who hated such a way of talking. She should have just told him she didn’t want to date him so often. But she felt it was inappropriate to say so.

But Gu Yingjie didn’t dwell on her words. He just said, “Okay then, we’ll make another date later. Now, be good and go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll call you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Qin Yufei was so well behaved that Gu Yingjie praised her by kissing her on the phone, and then said, “Baby, good night.”

Qin Yufei hung up the phone and blushed. She has done more intimate things with him, but now she can’t even see him, just a small “muach muach” on the phone makes her blushed.

The next day at work, Qin Yufei was late again as usual. She was a little distracted throughout the day, causing Qiu Zhengqing to cast a “concerned” glance at her during the meeting. Qin Yufei felt a little guilty and put on a serious face. This guy is really “please be serious”, forcing her to be serious.

When leaving work, Qin Yufei is walking on the spot, not staying a moment more. Today, she talked to Gu Yingjie on the phone three times. The last one was half an hour before leaving work. Gu Yingjie said he was busy today, and didn’t know why he always had a bunch of work after vacation.

“That’s your psychological effect.” Qin Yufei said. “I’ve thought about this before.”

“You actually thought about it?” Gu Yingjie laughed out loud.

“Yeah, I just wonder why I don’t feel like I’m getting a bunch of work saved up, but others seem to come back burnt out from vacation.”

“So, what’s the result of your research?”

“Because after a few days off from vacation, we just came back to work and not adapt yet, and we feel stressed for a while. Or maybe because in the eyes of the boss, rested for a few days is slack on the work, so once you come back you need to look like you are very busy.”

“Twisted reasoning.” Gu Yingjie laughed at her.

“It’s true. Think about it, obviously before the holiday you desperately want to get the work done, so that you can take a good rest on vacation. When you are on vacation, others are also on vacation, so there is no situation where others are working ahead of you. Then why do you feel overwhelmed when you come back to work? It’s just your psychological effect. Think that you should be busy.” Qin Yufei said, suddenly felt that the word “psychological effect,” is born to apply to her own body.

“Yes, yes, my girlfriend is the smartest.” Gu Yingjie praise her. Then there was someone looking for him over there. He said bye to Qin Yufei and hung up.

The two words “my girlfriend” have always been around in Qin Yufei’s heart. She packed her bag a few minutes before the office closed and left the office at the right time. It is better not to pretend to be busy when you don’t want to work. She drove her car on the street, not knowing where she wanted to go. Did not want to go home, nor did she want to hang out with friends. After driving out two blocks, she finally admitted that she wanted to go to Gu Yingjie.

She should get over her psychological effects and should make a magnificent effort. Why should she be the only one who was unhappy among those three people back then?

Qin Yufei drove to Huade’s building, did not call Gu Yingjie in advance. Anyway, he said he was busy, should not be so early to leave work, she went to pick him up, should be considered a surprise. It’s also a good idea to do your duty as a “girlfriend”, right?

Qin Yufei arrived at her destination smoothly. The road was free of traffic. She was in a good mood. The car drove to the underground parking lot, after parked, she sat in the car to call Gu Yingjie, wanting to ask him what floor his office is on. The phone just dialed. She saw him. He was walking over, followed by a girl next to him.

Qin Yufei froze. Gu Yingjie took out his cell phone from his pocket. Qin Yufei couldn’t hang up on time. He already answered with a smile, “Hey, are you off work?”

“Yeah.” Qin Yufei fixed her mind and tried not to look at the girl beside him. She recognized the girl, the one who came along in his car the day they went out on the yacht.

“Why did you call me? Don’t you have to go home to stay with your mother?”

“Where are you now?” Qin Yufei did not answer his words, but asked rhetorically. Couldn’t resist asking this awkward question.

“In the company parking lot.” Gu Yingjie was walking past the front of Qin Yufei’s car when he said this. The girl heeled him and kept turning her head to watch him on the phone.

Qin Yufei had a hard time holding back. She wanted to ask, who are you with? She tried to put on a natural tone and asked him, “So, are you going home?”

“Some friend asked me to meet up. I’m going there now.” Gu Yingjie walked over to his car and used the key to press the lock on the door. “What’s up? Are you available to see me sometime?”

“No.” Qin Yufei denied quickly.

“Then have you arrived home yet?”

“Not yet.” Qin Yufei said, see that the girl did not get into the car, and stood next to Gu Yingjie waiting for him.

“Then you have to drive carefully on the road. Oh, call me when you get home.” Gu Yingjie did not doubt it, the same tone as usual.

“Okay. Then I’ll hang up.” Qin Yufei hung up, feeling very uncomfortable inside. She saw Gu Yingjie put the phone away, saw that the girl said something to him, he smiled and shook his head, then opened the car door for the girl, the girl sat down, Gu Yingjie also got in the car, then soon the car started and went away.

Qin Yufei felt her heart beating fast, her body sweat, she pursed her lips and swallowed saliva. In her head was the conversation she imagined. The girl asked, “Who’s calling, is it your girlfriend?” Gu Yingjie smiled and shook his head: “Of course not, where did I get the girlfriend?”

Qin Yufei started the car and drove off, following the direction in which Gu Yingjie leave. She shouldn’t have thought about it. Their conversation might not have been like that, but she couldn’t control her imagination. She drove the car out of the parking lot and saw Gu Yingjie’s car turning right in the front direction. That was not the direction she was going home, and she somehow hit the steering wheel and turned right as well.

The car kept driving, and after driving a few blocks, Qin Yufei finally realized that she was following Gu Yingjie.

This startled her and made her feel terrible. The memories of over three years ago came flooding back, and she clenched her teeth, her hands squeezing the steering wheel tightly. She didn’t know how she drove the car, but she actually ended up following the place. It was a club, very famous, Qin Yufei once visited too. It was vivacious inside and not a good place for a date.

Qin Yufei parked her car on the side of the road across from the club, and she didn’t get out of the car, she just watched from the car. She didn’t know what she was doing, crazy. After a while, she saw Gu Yingjie and the girl coming from the direction of the parking lot, and seemed to have met a friend when they walked to the entrance of the club. Qin Yufei had seen that person before, the one who also came with Gu Yingjie in the same car that day when they went out on the yacht. The girl ran happily towards the friend. Gu Yingjie also walked over and talked with that person. Then they walked into the club together.

Qin Yufei didn’t know that Gu Yingjie was walking inside while telling the man, “Well, I sent your sister over for you, so you have to treat me tonight.”

She kept staring at the club door. Her heart was gloomy. She knew Gu Yingjie did not lie. She saw it with her own eyes. She believed him. But she was just cranky and couldn’t put her mind at ease. She had the urge to call Gu Yingjie, to ask him where he was, to ask him who was around, whether it was a man or a woman, to hear if he was lying.

“Stop it, Qin Yufei, stop it, don’t make yourself so annoying.” She said to herself.

That’s why she didn’t dare to fall in love. She had warned Gu Yingjie. But he wouldn’t listen. She just wanted to be a superficial, rich white woman. She didn’t want to become a vicious and suspicious old demon.

Qin Yufei turned on her car, wandered around the street, kept turning and turning, and finally she drove to Gu Yingjie’s house. She parked in front of the neighborhood and sat for a long time before giving Gu Yingjie a call.

“Gu Yingjie, are you done with the gathering?”

“Why?”

“I’m free now. Can we meet up?”

“Sure.” Gu Yingjie was happy and asked her tentatively, “Then do you mind coming here? I’m with some friends. I’ll introduce you to them.”

“No, I don’t want to go.” She refused without hesitation.

“Okay.” Gu Yingjie understood what she meant. She didn’t want to go public yet. “Then I’ll pick you up from your house?”

“No need. Just meet at your house. You come back, okay?”

Of course Gu Yingjie said yes. After hanging up the phone, Qin Yufei drove the car into the underground parking lot of the community, went upstairs, and leaned against Gu Yingjie’s door and waited for him. The time passed slowly. She waited and thinking it had been a long time, how he had not arrived yet. She couldn’t help but wonder if the girl at the club wouldn’t let him go, if she would be spiteful, and if Gu Yingjie would coax her.

Qin Yufei shakes her head. Shake off these guesses.

She has not been like this in the past. In the past, she was bursting with confidence and felt that she was infinitely charming and that men deserved to fall in love with her. She didn’t even have to go through the trouble of chasing boys, and the men who courted her could line two streets. She is richer than her best friend. Her best friend is not as pretty as she is. She feels everyone loves her cheerful personality. That man should love her to the bone. She never doubted these, she never encountered frustration.

Self-righteous.

Until she caught them in bed.

She beat them up, but in fact felt like she was the one who got beaten up hard. She had never been treated like that in all her life. She was bruised and battered.

She doesn’t know what it’s like for other people to break up. She only felt as painful as being skinned. They stripped her of her pride, stripped of her false sense of superiority, stripped of her self-esteem. Although she eventually survived the loss of love and betrayal, she knew she had a problem. When a man chased her, she would guess if it was for her money, and when a woman got close to her, she would wonder if she was trying to use her.

While before, she would think that they liked her, sincerely liked her.

She has made none new friends, should say there are no genuine new friends. She had reservations, and her smile was just a smile. Those who could get close to her were old friends she had known for years before she studied abroad. Yin Ting, for example. But she didn’t tell her about what had happened to her in America. She would worry that her friend disliked her.

Just as now, she would worry that Gu Yingjie hates her.

The elevator “dinged” and stopped at this floor. When Gu Yingjie came out of the elevator, he looked up and saw Qin Yufei standing in front of his house. Before he had time to speak, he saw her leap over, hugged him, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

What a flying love affair. Gu Yingjie was very receptive. He countered and deepened the kiss.

“Had a fight with your mother?” He asked her.

Qin Yufei shook her head and hugged him.

Gu Yingjie drags her to the door. As soon as the door closes, Qin Yufei kisses him again. She touched him, passionate as fire.

Gu Yingjie could not resist at all. Every time his queen deliberately teases him, he only surrenders.

The two were soon naked, too late to go to the bedroom, and did what they didn’t do last time on the sofa. The sofa cushions were thrown everywhere again. Gu Yingjie wants to laugh. These cushions are really not right with Young Miss.

Things were only half done when Qin Yufei abandoned her armor and surrendered, while Gu Yingjie had to take the condom and carried her into the bedroom to finish the second half.

Afterwards, the two people were too tired to speak and cuddled up to each other. After a while, Gu Yingjie was kicked.

“Gu Yingjie, I’m hungry.”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Fried chicken and fries.”

“I don’t have any here.”

“Oh.” She stopped talking and curled up in his arms. After a while, she said, “I’m hungry.” She hadn’t even eaten dinner, and she had just been so exhausted.

Gu Yingjie sighed and struggled for a while to get up. “Then I’ll go out and buy it for you. There’s a McDonald’s, it’s a quick drive.”

She watched as he cleaned himself up and got dressed, and was a little touched. But once, that man for her limited edition CD to be signed, queue in the snow overnight, at that time, she was more touched than now. But in the end it was that result.

She shook her head and threw the memories away. If only one could lose one’s memory.

“It’s so late, don’t go out. What do you have here? Bread will do.”

“There’s no bread.” Gu Yingjie went out to rummage through the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets and came back to tell her, “How about egg noodles?”

“Okay.” She sat on the big bed and nodded as she hugged his quilt. Gu Yingjie’s heart is going to melt. How can he like her so much? He went over and kissed her. “You wait, I’ll cook noodles. It will be ready soon.”

Gu Yingjie went to the kitchen to make noodles. As soon as the noodles were in the pot, Qin Yufei came out. She was wearing his shirt, with two bare legs. The whole body was on fire when Gu Yingjie looked at it, and he felt he really had to restrain himself. Or he would have scared her away, right?

But she didn’t understand his pains at all. Even when she wore this, she came over and hugged his waist and asked him, “Gu Yingjie, do you like me?”

Is this woman a demon?

“Very much.” He answered honestly.

“How much?”

I like you so much that I want to drag you to bed again. Gu Yingjie pursed his lips. “Like you so much that I want to crack ten eggs into your noodles.”

“……”

Okay, Gu Yingjie admitted that this love line was really not good. He continued, “Eat ten eggs are bad. I’ll just put two for you.”

Then she laughed.

The author has something to say.

Little theater.

Author: Ah Jie, I’ll tell you about my little theater was yesterday.

Gu Yingjie: Totally not interested in listening. You make my wife sad. I don’t want to talk to you.

Author: Ugh. Why are you like this?

Gu Yingjie: Hum.

Author: Ugh. It’s so hard to be an author.

Gu Yingjie: ……. Wait, what just happened?

Author: It’s a small theater situation.

Gu Yingjie: ……

Author: Don’t think it’s appropriate? Then I have many more versions. For example, you say ugh wife is so mean. Your wife says hum. Then you say, ugh I’m so cheap. The meaner my wife is, the more I like her. And ……

Gu Yingjie: stop, stop.

Author: What?

Gu Yingjie: Ugh, I have to go find the right weapon again.

Author: Hey!

Gu Yingjie: Ugh, I’m not willing to beat you to death.
