Shi Ye didn't answer anything and just continued to eat the noodles in his bowl.
Gu Nian pursed her lips, knowing that Shi Ye had heard her "thank you".
He also knew that with Shi Ye's personality, he didn't like to talk too much, or maybe he didn't care at all whether he had his own thanks.
Then he continued to eat the noodles in the bowl.
However, the taste of this noodle will definitely be remembered by me forever.
must!
Gu Nian said silently in his heart.
As usual, Gu Nian and Shi Ye did not exchange any other words during the entire meal.
But the more silent she became, the problem that had always existed in Gu Nian's heart was getting magnified.
Just when he was stopped by his father Gu Qiangsheng, Shi Ye's car clearly passed by him.
When he walked home, Shi Ye actually followed him.
So, he was actually sitting in the car.
So...he saw it, right?
You should have seen your own embarrassment and unbearable condition, right?
Finally, both of them finished the noodles. As before, Gu Niande was responsible for cleaning up the kitchen leftovers and tidying up the dishes.
Shi Ye took a step ahead of her, stood up, left the dining table, turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
It was still so quiet, and the quietness made Gu Nian want to speak out even more.
"Mr. Shi!"
well.
Gu Nian still couldn't hold it back and called out to Shi Ye.
Shi Ye stopped, turned around, and looked at Gu Nian calmly, "Is there anything else?"
Gu Nian's lips parted slightly and she trembled slightly. She unconsciously clenched her fists, unable to hide the tension in her heart.
Shi Ye could keep a distant and distant distance from her as usual.
But if he did see himself in the most embarrassing state...
Gu Nian still wanted to know how Shi Ye would recognize him in his heart.
"On the road just now...that was...my father."
Gu Nian's fingers almost dug into the flesh of his palms. When he said these words, the pain in his palms seemed to replace part of the pain in his heart.
"As you knew from the beginning, Mr. Shi, I actually owe a lot of money. The reason why I owe money is..."
No matter what Shi Ye thought, Gu Nian at least wanted to explain.
No matter how I explain it, my life cannot change the sad reality.
However, Gu Nian saw that Shi Ye had no reaction when he heard these words.
Of course, he was not surprised by Gu Nian's explanation.
This naturally confirmed that Shi Ye indeed saw himself being pestered by his father for money in the car.
Therefore, Gu Nian did not continue talking for the time being.
The inferiority complex in Gu Nian's heart suddenly became more swollen. She didn't want to be so depressed in front of the people she cared about.
However, this is not something she can change just by pretending.
Therefore, it is better to be more open-minded. If Shi Ye is curious about his life background, he wants to continue telling him everything.
Because Shi Ye was his light, even his salvation, Gu Nian didn't want to hide anything from him.
but……
Unfortunately.
"Miss Gu, you don't need to explain anything to me. This is your own business. I have no interest in knowing."
No.
interest.
Know.
These words were like thunder and lightning, echoing in Gu Nian's ears over and over again.
Gu Nian instantly felt like a lump in his throat. How to explain this strange feeling.
She wanted to argue for herself more, just like asking Shi Ye to listen to her story more, as if this way, there would be one more person in the world who could care about her.
However, she can't do this.
Therefore, Gu Nian forcefully swallowed and swallowed this inexplicable sense of loss into his stomach, so that he would not let it play a role in his heart.
Gu Nian laughed lightly to himself.
"That's right. Mr. Shi is right. I forgot that we had signed a marriage contract, and both parties should not interfere in each other's private lives. It was me... who overstepped the rules again."
again.
That's right, together with Gu Nian not controlling his emotions and hugging Shi Ye tonight, this was the second time that he inappropriately exceeded the scope of the contract.
Gu Nian's heart sank hard.
She has no extravagant desire to go further with Shi Ye, but for some reason, even if she is as alienated as in the past, it still makes her feel sad.
As a person in the game, what Gu Nian may not be able to see through is...
Maybe Shi Ye had been standing at the same point, but she was much closer to Shi Ye.
So with Gu Nian as the center, the distance between Shi Ye and Shi Ye in her heart has changed.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Shi Ye still looks like that, calm and emotionless.
"Well, you're right."
"Good night."
After saying just two sentences, Shi Ye said nothing more and turned around to walk to the room upstairs.
Tu Liu Gu Nian was still standing where he was. He originally felt warm and full because of the bowl of noodles that kept him warm and satiated. However, at this moment, he felt as if his soul had been drained out of him.
This is probably the price of breaking the rules.
Gu Nian told herself soberly.
＊＊＊
At ten o'clock at night, the light in front of the desk in Shi Ye's room was still on.
Shi Ye pressed down the call with his assistant Xiao Mo.
Obviously, he just called Xiao Mo and gave some instructions.
Xiao Mo, on the other end of the phone, responded respectfully:
"Okay, Mr. Shi, I'll be waiting downstairs at your house at seven o'clock tomorrow."
After making this call, Shi Ye put down his phone and looked straight ahead.
Suddenly, he saw the shirt he had just worn today that he had taken off from his hanger and had not yet had time to put in the washing machine.
Shi Ye stood up and walked over, picking up his shirt. There were traces of dried tears on his chest, and it became drier and harder than other areas.
His thoughts couldn't help but think of the scene at night.
Seeing Gu Nian walking in front, he was walking with heavy steps as if his legs were filled with lead, and he just followed behind silently.
Then he saw Gu Nian sobbing silently in the dark room. He wanted to force himself to hold it back, but he couldn't.
as well as……
As soon as she turned around, she rushed towards herself as if grasping a life-saving straw, releasing all her vulnerability and collapse to herself.
Shi Ye understands this feeling very well.
When his mother committed suicide, he was ruthlessly abandoned by his father like an orphan and went to England to fend for himself.
So when he was about to die of illness, Du Yucheng was willing to donate his liver to save him. For Shi Ye, Du Yucheng was the driftwood in his lonely life.
Now, maybe he also means this to Gu Nian.
Although he met Gu Nian not long ago, he finally witnessed that this girl could fight back without any fear in the face of evil forces like Chen Bishi.
And every day when I get home, I almost drag my tired body.
She said she owed a lot of money...
Of course, Shi Ye had seen Gu Nian's credit report from the beginning and confirmed what Gu Nian said.
As for the background and reasons why Gu Nian owed money, Shi Ye didn't have the heart to uncover it.
If Gu Nian's collapse was due to the pressure of "owing money", then with Shi Ye's ability...
This is the easiest thing to solve.
It was also the only way Shi Ye could give to comfort Gu Nian.
Other than that, he does...
I can’t afford it either.
＊＊＊
When the first bird song in the morning came through the mountain forest behind the villa.
Only then did Gu Nian realize that it was already dawn.
But she couldn't sleep all night.
Although the bedding is so comfortable and soft, all fatigue can be relieved almost as soon as you fall down.
But after last night passed, a strong sense of loss enveloped Gu Nian again. What exactly was she missing?
He originally wanted to tell Shi Ye all his difficulties, but he said he was not interested at all.
But he was not wrong!
He and Shi Ye have a contractual relationship. According to the spirit of the contract, wouldn't it be a breach of contract if they interfered with each other's private lives?
Of course Gu Nian understood Shi Ye's attitude towards him, but he still felt that there was no warmth in his heart anymore.
However, this feeling is not unfamiliar. After her mother passed away, Gu Nian experienced it almost every day. It felt like no one in this world cared about her anymore.
At 6:30 in the morning, Gu Nian's cell phone alarm hadn't gone off yet, but there was no need to wait for the alarm to wake him up.
She had not slept all night, and there was no possibility of her getting back to sleep.
Gu Nian sat up from the bed and brushed her cheeks with both hands, only to find that her face was dry. She even thought she should have been crying last night, but she found that she was not.
Yes, is there anything to cry about?
Everything that fate left to Gu Nian did not allow her to cry.
Last night, her long-term suppression only broke down in front of Shi Ye, so she cried. But what is the result of crying?
Neither is Shi Ye, and it is impossible for him to be her salvation.
So, Gu Nian silently told herself.
"Never cry again in the future. Because no one else cares, and you don't need tears."
After washing, Gu Nian gently walked out of the door.
She glanced at the end of the second floor, in the direction of Shi Ye's room.
The door was closed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was awake or not.
So Gu Nian hurried downstairs to prepare breakfast and lunch for Shi Ye.
This set of tasks went smoothly in Gu Nian's hands, and she quickly completed the preparation of two meals.
Then, she walked out of the kitchen, ready to take out her phone and send a text message to Shi Ye as a reminder.
But he found that the door of the villa was always open.
Gu Nian was shocked. Did she not notice it when she just came downstairs, or was Shi Ye already out?
She couldn't help but be a little curious, so she simply walked towards the door, only to find that there was another person standing at the door.
＊＊＊
Seven o'clock in the morning, just as Shi Ye asked on the phone last night.
Xiao Mo has been waiting at the door of the villa.
Seeing Gu Nian finally come out, Xiao Mo put on a standard business smile and said, "Miss Gu, good morning."
"Good morning... Good morning. Um, Assistant Mo, are you waiting?" Gu Nian felt a little abrupt and asked tentatively.
Xiao Mo replied cheerfully: "Oh, I'm waiting for you, Miss Gu. We, Mr. Shi, have an emergency meeting early in the morning, so we have already left by car."
wait for me?
Gu Nian mentally confirmed what she just heard.
"Then, may I ask, what's the matter?"
Hearing that Xiao Mo had been waiting for her, Gu Nian couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This meant that whatever happened next must be Shi Ye's intention.
As long as it's Shi Ye's intention, it may be of vital importance to Gu Nian.
"Could it be that Shi Ye wants to terminate the contractual relationship as husband and wife early because of his transgression yesterday?"
Gu Nian was thinking about it, but now she could only think of this possibility.
Then, Xiao Mo took out a bank card from inside his suit and handed it to Gu Nian.
