Gu Jinyuan who was on the other end of the phone entered a deep silence. Ye Wanqing could not see his expression, and could not guess how he would react after hearing what he had said.

Since he did not call for her to stop, she had to seize the opportunity to say more.

"Gu Jinyuan, although there is a huge difference between us, I do not want to always be like a blade of grass looking up at you from within the mud. I want to make myself stronger, even if I cannot grow a tree like you, at the very least I need to become a vine.

This was the state of affairs that Ye Wanqing wanted to be in the most. The two of them were in an equal position, talking only about relationships, not about anything else.

Because of love came together, and because of love, they became better people.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Ye Wanqing would never say these words to Gu Jinyuan.

Her courage had already been used up in front of him, and she wouldn't give birth to any thoughts of wanting to stay with him forever.

The reason why he said it was to please him, and only this kind of half-truths could move people.

There was still no sound from the other end of the phone, so Ruan Xi kept making hand signals to Ye Wanqing, begging him to let her hear what Gu Jinyuan had to say.

Ye Wanqing ignored him, and turned his head to pull the door open. Seeing that the door was not locked, he opened the car door, stepped out and walked to the side of the road.

"Gu Jinyuan, these words have already been repeated countless times in my head. I hope that I am not a burden or a burden to you. Even if I do not have the power to help you in any way, I hope that they do not become your weakness. You, as such a strong person, should not have any."

Just like a lone wolf, as long as it wasn't concerned, it could walk around wantonly in the dark night, not stepping into anyone's traps or getting hurt.

There was not much sunlight today, so the weather started to turn dark and cold once again. The wind blew in with a bit of coldness, causing Ye Wanqing to be unable to resist rubbing his arm and holding onto his arm with one arm.

Her experience in love was pitifully little. Other than having an illusory good impression of Gu Jinyuan, she only had the feelings she had towards him as a student, but that feeling was mostly filled with gratitude.

She was grateful that Ji Xiao had always appeared during times of crisis and saved her life. Gratitude was that Ji Xiao had always accompanied her and listened to her grievances and uneasiness. That gratitude had caused her to mistakenly think that as long as she worked hard, she would always be able to hold onto Ji Xiao's hand and walk forward.

These two relationships that she had experienced were not good experiences for her. Now, for her to think of a way to please Gu Jinyuan, Ye Wanqing still felt that it was a little difficult.

She didn't know how to persuade Gu Jinyuan to respect her and let her do what she wanted to do.

Before that, she had tried many different methods. Of course, all of them ended in failure.

The sound of the wind was too loud, even Ye Wanqing's breathing could not be heard clearly.

Ye Wanqing looked at his phone, making sure that Gu Jinyuan had not hung up, and then asked next to his ear: "Gu Jinyuan, are you still listening to me?"

Why was there no response?

Ye Wanqing was suspicious, but there was still no reply. Ye Wanqing was wondering if there was something wrong with his phone, when heavy footsteps came from behind.

Before he could turn around, he was hugged by a pair of strong arms.

Tightening his arms, the man's broad and powerful chest pressed against his.

A frantic heartbeat accompanied by rapid breathing enveloped her back, causing Ye Wanqing's heart to miss a beat as well.

"Gu Jinyuan?"

Ye Wanqing could not believe it. It was not even noon yet, Gu Jinyuan should be working at the company, why would he appear here? And wasn't he still here when I called? How could he …?

Ye Wanqing's mind was in a mess. Her chin was grabbed, and she was forced to turn around. The man's lips that were cold and dry from the wind was pressed down on her.

Ye Wanqing's entire body became blank, he could only see the gloomy sky from the man's hair.

Just when Ye Wanqing thought that this man wanted to break him at the waist, Gu Jinyuan finally let go of her.

With their foreheads touching, Ye Wanqing instinctively took deep breaths and the two's breathing became intertwined. It was strangely warm and ambiguous.

With his lack of oxygen, Ye Wanqing's vision turned black, and his legs felt extremely weak. He could only hold onto Gu Jinyuan's clothes tightly.

He was still wearing the suit he had left in the morning. He wasn't wearing a tie and his shirt was unbuttoned by two buttons. It was sexy and seductive, especially now that he was out of breath.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Wanqing gasped for breath and asked. His heart was beating quickly, and only now did he remember the series of actions Ruan Xi had just done.

If Gu Jinyuan was really so sick that he had installed a monitor in his car, then her conversation with Ruan Xi just now …

The more Ye Wanqing thought about it, the more startled she became, and the more bloody the scene in her mind became. Just when she was about to be scared witless by the scene in her head, Gu Jinyuan opened his mouth and interrupted her train of thoughts.

"What?"

Ye Wanqing was surprised, he had just been immersed in his own thoughts, and was unable to hear what Gu Jinyuan had said clearly.

Maybe because he was dissatisfied with her absent-mindedness, Gu Jinyuan used all his strength to pinch her lower jaw until it hurt, causing her to turn around and face him.

Suddenly looking at her face to face at such a close distance made Ye Wanqing a little nervous. She wanted to avoid Gu Jinyuan's gaze, but Gu Jinyuan held her chin tightly, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Their gazes met, and sparks flew everywhere. Ye Wanqing clearly saw some sort of emotion that could be called lust surging in the depths of Gu Jinyuan's eyes, and his face unconsciously grew hot.

After making sure that she would not dodge again, Gu Jinyuan released her chin and repeated every word: "I want to see you!"

His voice was hoarse and undisguised.

The woman in front of him did not know that he had wanted to see her ever since he had seen her at the press conference.

At first he wanted to ask her why she hadn't told him, but then he heard her voice, heard her say she wanted to be good, good enough to stand beside him, and his heart leaped uncontrollably.

He was very happy, because when she said she wanted to be with him, it was a joy that surpassed his imagination and even caused his bones to tremble.

At that moment, he was extremely eager to see her with his own eyes. He wanted to see what sort of expression she would have when she said those confession words. Could it be that her eyes were shining with a smile?

"You …"

This was the first time Gu Jinyuan said those words so straightforwardly. He did not know what to say for a while, so when he opened his mouth to speak, he heard Gu Jinyuan say, "Mrs. Gu, I miss you so much!"

There was a whirlpool at the bottom of his eyes. It was obvious that those words about her were not only for his thoughts, but also for his body.

In that moment, all the illusions in Ye Wanqing's mind vanished …
