If it was in the past, Gu Bo Chen wouldn't even think about it and would send this kind of woman to the door on the spot.

But now, when he saw such an alluring scene, in his mind, he actually thought of another woman.

That woman, no matter how many times she did it, she would never take the initiative.

Even if he hurt her, she would only be under him, biting her lower lip and bearing with it. There were very few sounds, and he knew that she was patiently enduring.

Why was it that such an unromantic little woman was able to cause his gaze to be unable to leave her for a moment?

As he thought of this, Gu Qi's heart suddenly felt a kind of unexplainable irritation.

Sophie had already pressed her entire body against Gu Mai's, and the two soft lumps on her chest were rubbing against the man's broad chest with all her might.

He was obviously an international model, but why was he not interested at all?

The woman's slender fingers were already reaching into the man's pants.

The flame of desire was about to erupt in front of his eyes, but at that moment, Gu Min suddenly took action, stopping the woman's downward momentum.

"What happened to you?"

Sophie narrowed her eyes and stared at him dubiously. She couldn't wait to get her hands on this man.

Gu Qi didn't even look at her as he shook off her hand and continued to pack up his clothes.

Then, he took out a cheque from a stack of documents on the table, quickly filled in a number, and handed it to Sophie. "Buy me something that you like. I still have things to do."

How could Sophie, who often hung around high places, fail to see the impatience in her.

She was a beautiful woman. She was also a smart woman. She knew what to do in order to gain the most benefits.

She didn't want to spend all those years with Gu Qi. What she wanted was never this man's money, but his love, her only love.

"You know I'm not …"

Everyone can misunderstand her, but not everyone.

"I know, Sophie. I told you, don't waste your time on me. Be yourself."

As she spoke, Gu Qi pressed the cheque in her hand into the woman's hand and even helped her to straighten her clothes.

In the end, he didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't respond to her feelings.

"Tell me the truth. You're in love with her, aren't you?"

Sophie's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the man she had loved for so many years.

"No, how could I have fallen in love with a stupid woman?"

As Gu Qi said this, his eyes shifted to the light and shadow elsewhere. It was a kind of guilt, an extreme guilt.

"Hehe, you have always been proud and aloof, since when did you dare to say that?"

After years of knowing him, Sophie knew him better than he knew himself.

She wasn't willing to admit defeat. She had accompanied this man for so many years, but in the end, she had actually lost to a woman who was betrothed to him.

"I heard that she is pregnant and everyone can see that you love her. Are you not afraid that she will become your weakness?"

She had always been able to speak to the likes of the other person, and her words would also have the appropriate benefits.

Why did the whole world know, but that woman, she couldn't see it clearly?

"Sophie, you're thinking too much."

Subconsciously, he didn't want to talk about it.

Sophie looked at her as if she were looking at a stranger. Since when had there been such a difference between them?

"It is my fault. I just want you to remember that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side, never leaving you."

After saying that, Sophie gave Gu Ji an emotional glance before she turned around and left.

For a time, the space was unimaginably quiet. Night fell, and outside of the French windows, the night scene of the entire Shanghai city flickered.

Gu Qi lazily sat on top of the sofa, looking down at the ten thousand lights, the cigarette on her fingertip, the lonely burning, the irritation in her heart became even stronger.

The news that Mrs Xu just came, that disobedient woman, has already been sitting on the windowsill for two hours.

Who was she thinking of now?

She must have heard about the Xin family too. Was she a little happy?

Gu Qi quietly looked out of the window until Pei Zi Yun came in.

"Third Young Master, Gu Bainian has already begun investigating the matter of Southeast Asia. I heard that the police forces have moved into action."

"He doesn't have the ability to find out about the Dark Night."

Gu Qi dialled for a long time before he turned around and coldly said this.

Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun was almost certain that he knew. He nodded his head and prepared to leave.

Years of brotherhood, Pei Zi Yun knew that Gu Bo now needed silence the most.

Just as Pei Zi Yun was about to turn around, Gu Bo suddenly asked, "Zi Ling, how did Sophie find out about Xin Nianyin's pregnancy?"

Although he had a guess in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it.

"I don't know. Sophie shouldn't be that fast."

The implication was that Sophie had not come back after seeing the media.

It was that someone wanted Sophie to appear in front of him. It seemed that that person was going to make a move on the child in Xin Nianyin's stomach.

A powerful family like the Gu family had always placed the greatest importance on order among the young. If Nian Yin gave birth to a child, a portion of the Gu family's shares would definitely be taken out.

In this way, Gu Jianming became indirectly the biggest beneficiary.

Naturally, there were people who didn't want to suffer such a loss. The only way was to stop this child from being born.

This was also the most important reason why Gu Shaoyin was locked up. It was just that she would never understand him, never guess his true thoughts.

"She shouldn't be here so soon." Gu Qi raised an eyebrow, the deep eyes, as if to see through everything.

"Relax, release some information. Second Bro is too idle right now."

As soon as he finished his words, he began to pack his things.

He wanted to go to a subsidiary company abroad. If it wasn't for some things delaying him along the way, he would have gone there a long time ago.

"Sure, I'm going out for a while. I'll leave the company matters to you temporarily."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Pei Zi Yun replied calmly. Although he didn't have much assurance, the tacit understanding between the two of them was better than silence.

Gu Jianming patted Pei Zi Yun's shoulder, giving him a look of trust.

Then he left without looking back.

For three days in a row, Xin Nianyin was alone at home. Occasionally, Gu Liuyi would come over to accompany her, but most of the time she was alone, sitting on the windowsill or in the study, reading or daydreaming.

No matter where she went, she would always be followed by a large crowd. Gradually, the scope of her activities became smaller and the people became quieter and quieter.

For the past three days, Gu Mai had not come home, not even a phone call or message.

I said I don't care, but why do I still feel empty inside?

When he woke up from his dream at midnight, he still touched the blanket on the side out of habit. When his hand missed, he immediately woke up.

Then the sleeplessness of the night, though she did not want to admit it, had become a habit.

When she was young, her mother had told her that habit was more terrible than love.
