"Miss Gu, please come in." A respectful voice came from the right side of Gu Xiwan.
Gu Xiwan turned around and saw that the voice came from the doorman. At this moment, the doorman had already opened the door of the villa for Gu Xiwan.
As soon as Gu Xiwan stepped through the door, she immediately saw a tall man standing next to the podocarpus tree in the yard with his back to her.
At this time, the man turned to look at Gu Xiwan, and then Gu Xiwan recognized the man as Chu Lingxiao.
"Wanwan, after meeting the man at Shanrentang, Lu Yichen and I investigated his background. His name is Ye Ziming. According to the information, he is the boss behind an IT company and is worth tens of billions. Chu Lingxiao said when he saw Gu Xiwan.
Gu Xiwan was shocked.
She knew very well that Ye Ziming, who used to be in the "Blood Moon", had to hide his identity at all times. He must have left the "Blood Moon" before returning to society with his new identity as the boss behind the scenes of a certain company...
But, is Ye Ziming actually worth tens of billions?
Where did he get so much money?
"But the strange thing is that I know more than half of the people in Haicheng who are worth more than 100 million, and I have heard about the remaining half even if I don't know them. But this Ye Ziming..."
As Chu Lingxiao spoke, he came to Gu Xiwan.
Looking at Gu Xiwan's pretty face, confusion and worry were intertwined in his warm, jade-like eyes.
"I have never heard of him before. I sent messages to the wealthy people in Haicheng and asked, but no one else knew him. It seemed like he didn't exist before, but appeared out of thin air overnight. And as soon as he appeared out of thin air, he and you called each other affectionately like 'wife' and 'husband'. Wanwan, who is he? What is going on between you and him?"
Gu Xiwan only glanced at Chu Lingxiao hastily, then looked away from his face and said calmly,
"Ling Xiao, there are some things that are secrets between me and my master. If anyone asks me, I will not betray him. Besides, you and I have already made an agreement to keep a distance between us. I don't want You are too involved in my personal affairs, so please stop asking."
"The secret between you and your master... So, he is your master?" Chu Lingxiao's eyes lit up.
Gu Xiwan stopped continuing this topic and just shook her head.
"Okay, Ling Xiao, I'm very tired now and want to lie down in bed for a while. You can go and do your own thing."
After saying that, he crossed Chu Lingxiao and walked forward.
Looking at her lonely and cold figure, Chu Lingxiao's handsome and picturesque face showed a trace of sadness.
He wanted to catch Gu Xiwan, but he was afraid that rash physical contact with her would offend her; he wanted to take a few steps quickly and block her in front of her, but he was worried that doing so would displease her and draw her colder gaze... …
He could only look at Gu Xiwan's figure with affection, and said sadly,
"Wanwan, I used to be a man with dignity. I have never been so humbled by any girl. I know you don't want me to pester you. I only ask you one thing, and I promise you will tell the truth. After I answer, I will leave immediately."
Gu Xiwan's fingertips trembled.
She stopped but didn't look back. Her voice was as calm and gentle as at the beginning.
"you say."
Chu Lingxiao stared at her figure, his eyes never blinking.
"Let me ask you, are the words Ye Ziming said in the 'Shanren Hall' true? Have you really made an engagement with him?"
"..." For a moment, Gu Xiwan wanted to tell a white lie.
In this way, maybe Chu Lingxiao will completely give up on her. From now on, Chu Lingxiao will not struggle in pain holding on to a love that he will never get a response from.
However, Gu Xiwan's lips opened, but she could not pass the test of conscience after all. Her conscience prevented her from lying about such things!
Finally, she said realistically,
"No."
"I see, thank you."
Chu Lingxiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the one who kept his promise turned around and left.
Even though Gu Xiwan never looked back, she clearly saw Chu Lingxiao's leaving figure in the rearview mirror of the car parked in front of her. She said in a daze,
"You yourself said that you are a dignified person, and I have told you clearly more than once that there will be no results between you and me. What you will get from me will only be something you can't get no matter how hard you try. Why are you so persistent when you are disappointed in return?"
"Because I love you."
Chu Lingxiao said it very easily and naturally, because this was what he felt.
He had already taken a few steps and looked back at Gu Xiwan's graceful figure. His warm eyes seemed to be filled with the warmth of spring.
"Little girl, I must refute what you just said. I don't think there will be no results between you and me, because I believe that sincerity can make a difference——
Four years ago, when I fell in love with you, you were Lu Yichen’s girlfriend. I regretfully missed you once;
A few months ago, when I came back to China to find you, you were Ling Jue's wife, and I regretfully missed you again;
And this time, when you left Ling Jue, I was the first person to appear by your side. I believe that this time, I will never miss you again no matter what. "
Gu Xiwan said nothing more.
Chu Lingxiao always moved her extremely, and this time was no exception.
But at this moment, Gu Xiwan had no thoughts about anything related to Chu Lingxiao, and she also had no thoughts about Ye Ziming...
In fact, so many things happened today that Gu Xiwan had no time to recall them. Her mind was filled with the name "Chu Lingjue", and her eyes seemed to always be filled with Chu Lingjue's handsome yet sad face. The face seems to be full of cracks...
Chu Lingjue!
After divorcing him, Gu Xiwan locked herself in this seaside villa. She spent seven days trying her best to let go of her feelings for Chu Lingjue...
And just before Qin Yueying came to her, she was still complacent that she had succeeded. She thought that even if she faced Chu Lingjue face to face in the future, she would be as calm as if she were facing a stranger.
However, Gu Xiwan could not have imagined that all the defenses she had built up in her heart would collapse as soon as she met Chu Lingjue today.
Everything seems to be back to the past——
After she separated from Chu Lingjue outside the cafeteria, she always thought of Chu Lingjue. She seemed to feel that Chu Lingjue was always staring at her with hurt eyes in front of her eyes, and her ears seemed to be echoing with Chu Lingjue's affectionate and passionate words. Passionately saying "I love you", those memories that she had always wanted to forget and that Chu Lingjue once regarded as her treasures flooded in her heart like an out-of-control tsunami.
