Chapter 38 The Strange (Jealous) Gu Jinxing
Chapter 38 The Strange (Jealous) Gu Jinxing
Because Xu Pingtao was in the car, Shen Wancheng still didn't have a chance to question Gu Jinxing about his intentions.
After asking Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao what they wanted to eat, Xu Pingtao had the driver take them to a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Although Shen Wancheng said she would treat, Xu Pingtao didn't intend for her to pay, so he didn't deliberately choose an affordable restaurant.
They traveled in silence and soon arrived at their destination.
After several hours, Shen Wancheng finally calmed down from the complicated emotions that arose when she suddenly saw Gu Jinxing.
When he got out of the car, Gu Jinxing's subordinates helped him into a wheelchair, and Shen Wancheng took the initiative to speak.
"You all go in first. Gu Jinxing, I have something to say to you."
The others were a little surprised to hear Shen Wancheng call Gu Jinxing by his name, but they immediately understood.
This is normal; Shen Wancheng has always been methodical and calm in her work.
It was already dark by then, and everyone else had gone into the private room, leaving only Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing in the courtyard.
Shen Wancheng cut to the chase, "Gu Jinxing, you know my situation at the time. I didn't do it on purpose; it was just an emergency. If it wasn't you, it could have been someone else. Shen Yao and I saved you before, so let's consider that even, how about it?"
Gu Jinxing said in a flat voice, "Not so much."
What's wrong with this person? No matter how much I try to reason with her, it won't work. Is she deliberately arguing with me?
Shen Wancheng's emotions, which had calmed down, began to fluctuate again.
Shen Wancheng didn't know why, but she could never control her emotions when facing Gu Jinxing.
"Then what do you want?"
Instead of answering, Gu Jinxing asked, "If it's not me, then it could be someone else?"
Shen Wancheng frowned, finding this person quite strange.
"I was taking Chinese medicine at the time, and if it wasn't you, of course I would have found someone else to counteract the effects of the medicine."
Gu Jinxing's mind conjured up the possibility that Shen Wancheng was seeing someone else, and his brows furrowed as he imagined her intimate moments with another man.
No, it can only be her.
This woman is dishonest, so I tied her to my side and forced her to behave.
Gu Jinxing suddenly became agitated and grabbed Shen Wancheng's wrist again, pulling hard.
Shen Wancheng fell into Gu Jinxing's arms and sat on his lap.
Shen Wancheng glanced around guiltily to make sure no one was paying attention to them before struggling and cursing in a fit of rage.
"Gu Jinxing, let me go! Are you out of your mind? We have nothing to do with each other."
"Gu Jinxing, let go! It's just a one-night stand, can't you be a little more serious about taking risks!"
Just a one-night stand?
Shen Wancheng's words also angered Gu Jinxing. Gu Jinxing pulled her even tighter, wrapping his arm around Shen Wancheng's lower abdomen and fixing her to his body.
"Shen Wancheng, I can't take this lying down. If you mess with me, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
"Are you crazy?! I've already explained it very clearly!"
Shen Wancheng angrily tried to pry Gu Jinxing's arm, but the difference in strength was too great, and Shen Wancheng couldn't budge it at all.
She suddenly lowered her head and bit Gu Jinxing's arm hard.
In the instant Gu Jinxing felt the pain, his arm momentarily lost its strength, and Shen Wancheng took the opportunity to stand up, take a few steps, and widen the distance between herself and Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng stared at Gu Jinxing, panting.
Gu Jinxing was wearing a white shirt, and two rows of teeth marks and bloodstains were visible through the sleeves.
It's clear how hard Shen Wancheng bit her; she was truly furious.
Gu Jinxing seemed oblivious to the pain and suddenly chuckled softly.
"You have good teeth."
I f***ing...
Shen Wancheng almost couldn't help but swear again.
What kind of strange creature is Gu Jinxing?
Shen Wancheng prided herself on having a good temper, but she couldn't hold back at all in front of Gu Jinxing.
She's not a dog, yet she says she has good teeth.
"Gu Jinxing, what exactly do you want? Tell me! I'm listening."
Gu Jinxing thought of every night over the past month, the endless sweet dreams he had.
This dream where he couldn't see anyone made Gu Jinxing feel both despicable and pathetic.
He even felt that such dreams were disgusting and obscene fantasies.
He didn't want to dream anymore.
Since I dream about her every night, I'll keep her by my side.
Since he truly desires Shen Wancheng, he should sleep with the real Shen Wancheng instead of in a false dream.
"I want you to marry me."
Gu Jinxing spoke calmly, as if he were saying something as casual as "I want to eat rice for dinner."
what?
Marry him?
Is this person really sick?
They didn't even know each other, yet this person asked her to marry him.
This world has gone mad.
“Gu Jinxing, I think you’re not thinking clearly right now. Or rather, when you were injured last time, it wasn’t just your legs and eyes that were injured, but your head was also injured. You’re so rich, go get your head treated.”
"Yes, I'm very rich, much richer than that old man Xu Pingtao."
Is this the key point?
Who can compare to him in terms of wealth?
Wait a minute... why does Gu Jinxing's comment sound a bit sarcastic? What does he mean?
Could it be that Gu Jinxing thinks Xu Pingtao is interested in her?
"Disgusting! Gu Jinxing, you're absolutely disgusting!"
Shen Wancheng left those words behind, not wanting to talk to Gu Jinxing anymore, and went to the private room without looking back.
Ignoring Gu Jinxing's physical limitations and blindness, they simply left him in the courtyard.
Gu Jinxing's subordinates, who were standing at the door of the private room, saw Shen Wancheng return alone and were terrified when they didn't see their boss. They immediately went to the courtyard to look for her.
When Liang Muchao, who was in the private room, saw Shen Wancheng come in alone, he immediately asked.
Where is my brother Xing?
Shen Wancheng rolled her eyes at Liang Muchao, sat down next to Shen Yao, and gulped down the plain water that Shen Yao had poured for her.
Then he coldly said, "Your brother is no longer capable."
Liang Muchao jumped up and was about to go pick up Gu Jinxing.
Just then, Gu Jinxing was pushed through the door by his subordinates.
Shen Wancheng didn't even glance at Gu Jinxing.
Now everyone understands: the two of them couldn't reach an agreement.
Gu Jinxing was ushered into the private room. His subordinates, unsure of where Gu Jinxing was to sit, stopped at the door.
Gu Jinxing said calmly, "Next to Shen Wancheng."
The other three people in the private room all turned to look at Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng gritted her teeth and drank another glass of water in one gulp.
When Gu Jinxing's wheelchair reached Shen Wancheng's side, Shen Wancheng stood up and sat on the other side of Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng perfectly demonstrated her inability to avoid Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing remained calm and composed.
Seeing that Shen Wancheng really didn't want to give Gu Jinxing even a glance, Liang Muchao silently sat down next to his friend.
Xu Pingtao also spoke up at the right time, ending what outsiders considered a somewhat childish farce.
"Alright, the food has been served, so stop moving it around."
Liang Muchao immediately chimed in, "Yes, Shen Yao, the food at this restaurant is really good, you'll definitely love it."
Shen Yao's mind was filled with thoughts of what her sister and Gu Jinxing had said to each other; she rarely saw her sister so angry.
When Liang Muchao called her name, she simply responded with a faint "Okay".
"Cheng wasn't here just now, so I asked Yao to order a few dishes that she thinks you'll like. You must try them later."
Shen Wancheng composed herself, looked at Xu Pingtao, and replied, "Okay."
Liang Muchao and Gu Jinxing both noticed that Xu Pingtao addressed Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao very differently.
This kind of address is not something that men and women would use; it sounds more like an elder addressing a younger person.
Liang Muchao and Gu Jinxing both felt a sense of relief.
Regardless of the relationship between Shen Wancheng and her sister and Xu Pingtao, as long as Xu Pingtao isn't a pervert who likes young girls, that's fine.
The dishes were served one by one, and everyone only started eating after everything was arranged.
It's a Michelin-starred restaurant, but all they serve are Chinese dishes.
Shen Wancheng found it somewhat amusing, yet she couldn't laugh. For some reason, looking at the dishes made her feel even more choked up.
In particular, Liang Muchao deliberately turned to her at this moment to let her taste the golden crispy roast suckling pig.
The suckling pig was neatly cut into small square pieces, roasted until it was bright red, and the skin was shiny and oily.
Shen Yao picked up a piece and put it into Shen Wancheng's bowl.
"Sis, try it, it tastes really good."
Shen Wancheng picked up the piece of meat, and suddenly felt a churning in her stomach.
"Ugh~"
Shen Wancheng tried her best to hold back, but still managed to make a gagging sound.
Shen Yao immediately put down her chopsticks, tore off a tissue and handed it to Shen Wancheng, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Shen Wancheng was also confused. It wasn't the first time she had eaten roast suckling pig; she used to enjoy it.
Why do I suddenly feel nauseous just looking at it?
"Ugh~"
Shen Wancheng thought about the glistening surface of the roast suckling pig and gagged again.
Xu Pingtao asked with concern, "Girl, are you sick?"
Shen Wancheng wanted to look up at Xu Pingtao and say that she was fine, but when her gaze swept over Gu Jinxing, she met his eyes and thought that it had been more than a month since that night.
Shen Wancheng's heart skipped a beat.
This...this...
Could she be pregnant?
