The night gradually deepened. This apartment, which was not particularly ridiculously large, was surrounded by the colorful landscape lights that fell from the sky. Halfway up the beautiful mountain, it seemed to be particularly isolated from the world, as if it was incompatible with this noisy world It simply could not blend in.
Song Guo had just picked up the soup bowl when her hand was scalded by the heat from the edge of the bowl. The Soup Bowl lost its balance, and the hot soup spilled out. The woman’s fair fingertips instantly turned red from the heat.
She frowned and wanted to endure it, but she still let out a scream that was neither too big nor too small. It quickly attracted the attention of the other three people at the dining table.
Lin Nancheng instinctively went over to take a look, but song Guo avoided him without a trace. And this action directly reminded him and herself.
No matter what habits they formed when they were together, they were not allowed to easily cross the gap and boundary that had already formed.
If a breakup was unavoidable, it would be better for them to get used to the relationship between strangers as soon as possible.
Lu Xiaoxiao could also see the awkwardness between the two of them. She quickly looked at Song Guo, who was holding a tissue and wiping the hot stains on the dining table and skirt. “Guo Guo, is your hand okay? ”
Song Guo gently shook her head. “I’m fine. ”
After saying that, she quickly added, “I’m sorry. I’m already so old, but I can’t even hold a bowl properly. I even let the hot soup spill out and dirty the tablecloth… ”
After wiping some of the soup stains off the skirt, Song Guo began to focus on dealing with the soup stains on the white tablecloth. She completely ignored the pain on her beautiful legs.
From Lin Nancheng’s footsteps, She could clearly see the redness and swelling on her legs through the soaked gauze. He frowned angrily and shouted in a low and hoarse voice before she could finish speaking “Aunt Zhu, bring me a bottle of strong wine. ”
Song Guo was interrupted by Lin Nancheng, so she didn’t continue speaking. Instead, she continued to clean the soup stains on the tablecloth. When she couldn’t wipe anything off anymore, she raised her head and looked at Gu Xichen and Lu Xiaoxiao “President Gu, Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I’m already full, so I won’t disturb you too much. ”
“As for this tablecloth… ”
She paused for half a second “If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’ll mail you a tablecloth that I collected in America. I think it suits the environment and atmosphere of this apartment’s restaurant. Of course, it should be more beautiful than this one. ”
She smiled and stood up. Then, she gracefully said goodbye to Lin Nancheng beside her, “President Lin, I’ll be leaving first. See you again. ”
She didn’t wait for Lu Xiaoxiao to say anything to persuade her to stay. In fact, even if she wanted to say something to persuade her to stay, Gu Xichen wouldn’t let her.
After all, Gu Xichen was a businessman. He was very good at weighing the pros and cons. He would never offend Lin Nancheng because of a woman who had nothing to do with him.
Although she had a high fever for a few days, she was not stupid. She knew what Gu Xichen was trying to do, and she also knew that he was giving her and Lin Nancheng a chance to make up.
However, she was already past the age of eighteen, who liked to break up and break up. Moreover, this relationship was too tiring to manage. No matter how she looked at it, it was not suitable for them to continue being together.
As if something was chasing after Song Guo, she quickly shuffled her slippers upstairs and disappeared on the spiral staircase.
At this time, aunt Zhu happened to bring over the hard liquor that she had taken from the wine cellar. Lin Nancheng reached out to take it and swiftly opened it. Then, he poured himself a cup, then brought it to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
The hard liquor flowed from his mouth all the way to his stomach, and suddenly, it was scorching hot.
Gu Xichen did not say anything. Instead, he leaned his broad back against the back of the dining chair. Then, he casually took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette. He began to puff out smoke. “Aren’t you going to chase after her? ”
After saying that, he took another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand. Then, he answered his own question and said, “but looking at my current condition, it would be better to leave her hanging! ”
Lin Nancheng did not say anything. He drank two cups in a row. It was unknown whether he was angry with Song Guo or himself.
In short, his face could not be described as ugly. It could even be said to be as gloomy as water. Anyone who looked at him would inexplicably feel a lot of fear.
Lu Xiaoxiao could not stand their man-to-man conversation. She said, “I’ll go and see her. ” Then, she lifted her feet and walked towards the stairs.
When Lu Xiaoxiao’s slender figure disappeared on the spiral stairs, Gu Xichen said in a low and hoarse voice, which was tainted by the smoke, “since you want to date her, don’t act like you can let her go at any time. You can only spoil and coax a woman like Song Guo. If you play the heartless game with her. ”
Gu Xichen smiled, then leaned forward and dropped the long cigarette ash in his hand into the ashtray on the dining table. “believe me, she will be more heartless than you. ”
Heartless?
These two words really suited her well. She never seemed to be sloppy when dealing with relationships.
Even if she loved him to the point where she could not extricate herself, she could still say that she did not love him and left unscathed.
On the other hand, he had become the one who could not pick up or let go.
He had never felt this kind of uncertainty or uncertainty from a woman other than Song Guo.
She was the first, probably the last, and the only one.
Lin Nancheng glanced at Gu Xichen, who was gloating over his misfortune, and then poured himself a third glass of wine. “President Gu, you’re a mess when it comes to picking up women, and you still have the face to lecture me? ”
After saying that, he smiled and raised the red wine glass in his hand. Then, through the dark red wine and the orange light falling from the ceiling, he looked at Gu Xichen lazily “If you could use your method to get rid of Lu Xiaoxiao, I might still believe you, but President Gu… ”
“You haven’t even settled a young lady in her early twenties yet, yet you’re telling me how to pamper and Pamper a woman. Don’t you think that’s a joke? ”
The smile on Gu Xichen’s handsome face disappeared bit by bit as he spoke.
The two of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds. In the end, Gu Xichen was the first to look away. He extended his slender and well-proportioned fingers and pointed at the liquor bottle placed in front of Lin Nancheng. Then, he pointed at the empty glass in front of him Then, he said in an emotionless voice, “pour me a glass of wine. ”
Lin Nancheng leaned over and poured a glass of liquor for Gu Xichen. At the same time, he said, “Do you feel like you’re both in the same boat now? ”
“No. After all, Song Guo is much more rebellious than Xiao Xiao. ”
“Is that so? ”
Lin Nancheng raised his beautiful straight eyebrows. His voice was magnetic and warm. “since that’s the case, why don’t we make a bet, President Gu? ”
“Bet? What bet? ”
“How about this? I’ll pay you twice the amount to Lu Xiaoxiao and ask her to leave you. What do you think? ”
Gu Xichen was furious when he heard his words. “Lin Nancheng, I think you’re F * Cking sick. No Wonder Song Guo doesn’t want to be with you. If it were me, I wouldn’t be with a lunatic either! ”
Lin Nancheng sighed heavily. “President Gu, you’re the one who said that Song Guo is more rebellious than Lu Xiaoxiao. I spent so much money to help you test your little girlfriend’s loyalty to you. Is this how you repay me? ”
Gu Xichen was so angry that he laughed. “Lin Nancheng, what are you trying to say? Spit it out. I don’t have time to waste with you! ”
“I want to say that your little girlfriend is much more rebellious than Song Guo. She’s beautiful, young, has a good figure, and her clothes are not bad. She especially likes to wear sexy clothes that men like to admire… ”
Speaking up to this point, he paused for a few seconds. “Such a girl doesn’t lack rich and powerful men by her side, so you’d better watch her closely. Don’t be so silly as to give money to others when someone turns her head into a grassland! ”
Gu Xichen frowned. “Director Lin, why do I hear that there’s a hidden meaning in your words? ”
“No, I’m just afraid that you’ll be a sucker. I’m just giving you a friendly reminder. You’d better not put yourself in my shoes. ”
Gu Xichen looked at the smile on his face and really wanted to throw two punches at him. However, in the end, his rationality overcame his impulsiveness. “Lin, in terms of figure and face, Song Guo isn’t bad at all. You really have to be more vigilant. Don’t overestimate your own charm, or else… ”
His voice was low and indifferent. Under the influence of alcohol, it was overly pleasant to the ear. “when a beauty turns around, it’s very easy for her to forget about you and throw you into the arms of another man. In fact, in a few days, she might not even remember your name or anyone else! ”
Lin Nancheng’s large hand gripped the wine glass in front of him tightly. His eyes narrowed slightly. He was clearly looking in the direction of Gu Xichen, but his gaze was unfocused.
If one looked closely, they would not be able to see anything in his eyes. It was so empty that one would not be able to guess what he was thinking.
After a long while, he raised the wine glass mechanically, then brought it to his mouth and took a big gulp.
He did not know why, but gu xichen’s 70% joking words just now made him think of Mu Yuanqiao, the man that Song Guoming had a crush on for many years.
Especially that sentence, ‘when beauty turns around, it’s easy for her to forget about you and throw you into the arms of another man’ .
The arms of another man, was it Mu Yuanqiao?
If he didn’t mention his past injuries, Mu Yuanqiao was indeed the best choice apart from him.
However, whenever he thought of the scene of Song Guo throwing herself into Mu Yuanqiao’s arms, his chest felt as if it was on fire.
He didn’t know if it was jealousy or just pure dislike?
Or perhaps… … He had a perverted way of mistreating Song Guo …
He could choose not to love her or break up with her, but he could never be with another man.
The strong liquor was very strong. When it slid down his mouth and into his stomach, there was a very obvious burning sensation. This burning sensation, which was similar to pain, made him regain all his rationality “President Gu, if you have the time, you should worry more about yourself. You don’t have to worry about my matters anymore. I know what to do. ”
“Oh? Since President Lin is so confident, then there’s something… I really don’t need to say it! ”
Although Lin Nancheng was also a little curious about what he wanted to say, but compared to himself, he wanted to know why he said these things!
Could it be that he simply couldn’t stand me Or was it just to make things difficult for me?
Was Gu Xichen that boring?
And the facts proved that when a man became bored, no one could save him.
Song Guo returned upstairs and quickly packed her suitcase. Because she was afraid that she would be too disrespectful to Lin Nancheng and hurt his male pride if she just swaggered away like that.
After much thought, she had no choice but to work with Lu Xiaoxiao to move a retractable ladder. She then lowered it from the second floor and prepared to climb down before leaving.
She was a little afraid of heights, so when she climbed down from the second floor, she almost slipped and fell down. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao reached out in time to pull her, preventing her from falling down.
She patted her frightened chest and took a few deep breaths. Just as she was about to continue climbing down, she heard the barking of a dog from downstairs.
Song Guo quickly retracted her leg. “Xiaoxiao, why are there still dogs in the yard? ”
She had been bitten by a dog once when she was young. Ever since then, she seemed to have developed an inexplicable fear towards creatures like dogs. As long as she got close, her legs would go limp and she would not be able to walk at all. She could only lie there and wait for the dog to leave.. When would her legs return to normal.
“Yes, there are two little teddy bears that have been kept in the yard. ”
“then why haven’t I seen them before? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, “they might have run to other places to play. In addition, they are small in size, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen them. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao saw that she was lying there motionlessly, so she said with a smile, “Guo Guo, why are you trembling? Are you… afraid of dogs? ”
It was just an unintentional guess, but Song Guo nodded crazily. “Yes, I’m afraid of dogs, so can you let them leave? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her beautiful eyebrows. “Guo Guo, Gu Xichen and Lin Nancheng are downstairs. Do you think I can find a good excuse to go out and play with the dogs? ”
“They’re both smart, so how can they deceive us? ”
Song Guo thought about it and agreed. In the end, she went all out and said, “okay, then I’ll climb down like this. They look so small anyway. They shouldn’t be able to bully me! ”
However, reality proved that a creature like the teddy dog would drive people crazy if they were bored.
Just as Song Guo was about to land two or three rungs on the ground, the two teddy dogs seemed to have gone crazy. They ran back and forth and didn’t bark.
Song Guo stretched out her leg and kicked them, trying to scare them away. However, they thought that Song Guo was playing with them, and then they became even more excited.
Song Guo had no choice but to discuss in a low voice, “Hey, can you guys stay away from me? There’s nothing fun here! ”
However, the two teddy dogs seemed to have met their playmates and refused to leave no matter what. Song Guo weighed the situation for a few seconds and had no choice but to overcome her fear and directly jump onto the grass.
Just as she was about to run away, the little tongue of the teddy dog reached out and touched the skin on her calf. This sticky feeling made her scream in horror.
Her voice was particularly sharp in the dark night. It was immediately heard by the two men who were drinking at the dining table.
Lin Nancheng recognized Song Guo’s voice with one ear and ran out. When he saw the woman fall on the grass and was ‘bullied’ by the two teddy dogs, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Song Guo curled up into a ball and avoided the passionate attacks of the two teddy dogs, which were constantly licking people.
Lin Nancheng strode to Song Guo’s side. Before he could say anything, the woman threw herself into his arms and said with tears all over her face, “Lin… Lin Nancheng, I’m scared. Can You keep those two things away from me? ”
Lin Nancheng was stunned for half a second. He stretched out his strong long arms and hugged the woman’s slim waist. Then, he said with a smile, “they’re just trying to get close to you, not bite you… ”
“listen to me. Hurry up. I don’t want them to come any closer. Please, hurry up… ”
Lin Nancheng knew that everyone had something to fear, and there were many times when they could not stand those things coming any closer. This was the situation now.
He did not say anything more. Instead, he waved his hand and called for the bodyguards to take the two little teddy bears away.
In half a minute, the two little teddy bears were taken away by the bodyguards. Song Guo finally slowly regained her composure. In the end, there was no trace of crying or fear on her face. She smiled and said to him, “thank you for just now! ”
After thanking him, she stood up from the grass and was about to drag the suitcase away.
Just as she took a step forward, the man reached out his big hand and grabbed her small hand that was hanging by her side. She was shocked and quickly struggled, but he did not budge an inch. In the end, she could only remind him, “director Lin, I’m leaving this place. Please let go! ”
“where are you going? ”
She did not have many friends in Lin city, and there was no difference between having and not having such a family. She could not be counted on at all. Where was she going Where else could she go?
Song Guo still smiled. “I won’t trouble you to worry about that, director Lin. I have my own place to go! ”
Whether it was staying in a hotel or a hotel temporarily, she would not look for people who were familiar with him to help. In this way, not only would it indirectly create an opportunity, but it would also make him feel that she was playing hard to get.
The love she wanted was as simple as it could be. She did not want to spend every day in calculation.
That would be too tiring, really too tiring.
Lin Nancheng frowned. “Song Guo, do you have to talk to me like that? ”
“I’m sorry, director Lin. I don’t quite understand what you mean! ”
“Do you not understand? Or do you not want to understand? ”
“I really don’t understand! ”
As she spoke, she tried to pull her hand out of his large hand again. However, she failed a few times, so she could only try to reason with him “Director Lin, I have never thought of breaking ties with you, let alone reconciling with you. So… can you let me go now? ”
“No, you have to say it clearly! ”
Song Guo frowned. “Director Lin, I’ve already said it very clearly. What else do you want me to say? How disappointed I am in you, or how I don’t love you anymore? ”
Lin Nancheng’s hand that was holding the woman’s slender wrist tightened, as if he was going to break it. “You don’t love me anymore? ”
“Chief Lin, can’t you listen to the main point… ”
Lin Nancheng did not hear her finish and asked in a low and hoarse voice “Song Guo, how cheap is your love? We’ve only broken up for a few days, and you can already say that you don’t love me. Then, should I have reason to suspect that you have never loved me at all, HMM? ”
“You can think whatever you want. If you think that it will make you feel better, just think it this way. Anyway, we’re no longer related, so it doesn’t matter how you think! ”
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? ”
He suddenly lowered his head and moved closer to her face. His eyes, which were as deep as the night, stared at every expression on her face. “Song Guo, tell me, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? ”
“Lin Nancheng, we’ve already broken up. Do you want me to continue loving you? ”
She seemed to have heard a funny joke and continued to say with a smile, “although saying that I don’t love you now is a little heartless, there will come a day when I don’t love you. It’s just the difference between one day earlier and one day later. Why do you care so much? ”
“because I’m not like you, who can make love into the cheapest commodity. Then, when I’m in a passionate love, I can confidently say that I love you. Of course, a few days after we break up, I can also confidently say that I don’t love you. ”
She didn’t know if it was because his words were too sharp and hurtful, but her eyes quickly turned red. There was even a second where tears were about to fall “Isn’t this the way men like you like to deal with relationships without being sloppy? Don’t tell me that you like a woman who, after breaking up, is still in love with her ex and sleeps with her every few days? ”
“If you like her, I can only say sorry. Because I really don’t like her, I won’t do this. ”
Her voice was warm and indifferent, but it carried the most unquestionable power.
Or rather, from the moment they broke up, she had been prepared for this moment. So when this moment really came, she didn’t seem to panic, and even handled it with ease.
“Song Guo, do you have to make it sound so terrible? In your eyes, our relationship is such a dirty pronoun? ”
“I’ve never felt that this relationship is dirty. It’s just that… we’re not suitable for each other. Lin Nancheng, we’re not suitable for each other, so why do we still have to force ourselves to be together? ”
She lowered her head and looked at his tightly clenched hands. Then, she said, “I don’t like to force myself, and I don’t like to force others either. So… Lin Nancheng, forget about me. ”
“There are many women with good tempers, good looks, and good bodies in this world. Why do you have to come and say that you can’t forget about me after breaking up? This is unrealistic. Moreover, I’m not a teenage girl anymore. I won’t believe this kind of domineering CEO PLOT! ”
“There are many women with good tempers, good looks, and good bodies in this world, but they’re not you! ”
Because none of them are you, that’s why it’s such a pity.
Song Guo smiled. “Lin Nancheng, are you saying that you’re in love with me? ”
Lin Nancheng did not respond for a long time. Song Guo raised her face and smiled. “Look, you can’t even fall in love with a woman, so why must this woman be me? Since you don’t love anyone, then find a woman who looks comfortable for the rest of your life! ”
