After the filming of "Legend of Pingle" was completed, Gu Qingwu did not continue to stay in Hengdian, but entered a different rhythm of life. He was busy with several announcements. At the end of the month, he received an invitation to the New York Fashion Show and specially adjusted half a week to fly abroad.
The entire cabin is exceptionally quiet.
Gu Qingwu sat by the window, not feeling sleepy. However, her team members were all sleeping, except Luo Yuan, who was still explaining work to the assistant. Occasionally, their whispered conversations could be heard.
She was reading a news magazine with her slender fingers, and even though her face was cold and smiling, it was easy to attract the attention of others.
The stewardess came over gently and handed her a glass of red wine with a business card underneath. She explained softly that it was ordered by the gentleman sitting next to her.
Gu Qingwu was interrupted and her thick eyelashes drooped. She first glanced at the business card with the name "Xie Lin" printed on it. She followed the stewardess's instructions and saw a man in a peacock blue suit sitting diagonally opposite her.
Her first impression of him was that his bone structure was so outstanding that it was extremely aggressive, and his thin face was very pale, with only the bright color on his lips. He had a morbidly handsome look, which was very eye-catching and very popular with women.
Gu Qingwu was often approached by strange men wherever she went, but she was calm and asked the stewardess to return the business card.
Luo Yuan noticed this and said in a low voice: "The one handing you the business card is the second son of the Xie family. He is a celebrity in the domestic entertainment industry. He spends all day dealing with female stars and models. He doesn't have a serious girlfriend, but he has so many bed partners that they all have to wait in line."
Gu Qingwu rarely paid attention to entertainment gossip. After thinking for a while, she said, "Xie family? The younger brother of the husband of the movie queen Jiang Nai?"
"I heard that he is too extravagant, the typical person who will go crazy if he is not disciplined for three days... He has been locked up at home and scolded many times, but he is not as reliable as Mr. He in our family." Luo Yuan's ability to build relationships is unique, and he always says that He Sui Chen is my son.
Gu Qingwu had recently talked about He Suichen, but she had inadvertently ignored the topic and didn't react much. She closed her eyes slightly and said, "Oh."
Over there, Xie Lin casually placed his right hand on the armrest. When he saw the business card being returned, his thin lips curled up into an ambiguous smile.
He easily got Gu Qingwu's information from the flight attendant with his charm and sent a WeChat message to his brother. The signal of this international flight was not good, so it took a long time to send it successfully: "Brother, there is a woman on the plane in New York. Her name is Gu Qingwu. She is a female star... From head to toe, even her hair, I am very satisfied. I want to marry her."
Xie Lin's mate selection criteria are very secular. He wants a pretty woman, and preferably one whose face makes people want to sleep with him. Personality doesn't matter, because he doesn't have a good personality anyway. It just so happened that he had just recently thought of finding a woman to marry, and he bumped into a beauty on the plane.
His eyes fell on Gu Qingwu from time to time, and his long fingers were playing with the phone absentmindedly.
About half an hour later, the black screen lit up slightly and a message from Xie Lanshen came in.
A few short words: [She has someone.]
Xie Lin has always been a lunatic with no moral bottom line. He didn't take his brother's words seriously at all: "Even if she is married, I will still steal her away. It will be so exciting to be her gigolo."
Who would have thought that just as the message was sent, the next second it would show that the other party refused to receive your message.
-
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Qingwu arrived at the New York airport.
As soon as she got in the car to the hotel, He Suichen called her on time, whispering in his usual gentle tone: "Have you got off the plane?"
Gu Qingwu hummed softly, and then said, "On the way to the hotel, I have an appointment with the styling team to try on your makeup tonight. I won't video call you tonight. There will be many people in the suite, and it will be inconvenient."
"Um."
"Then I'm hanging up."
After Gu Qingwu finished speaking, she saw that he was silent on the other end of the phone, so she added: "You should go to bed early tonight."
He Suichen suddenly spoke, and his heart almost softened: "Wife."
Gu Qingwu clenched the phone tightly with her fingertips and hummed in an almost inaudible manner.
He Suichen laughed silently and told her clearly: "I miss you."
After the New Year, both of them were busy with various jobs and hardly saw each other.
Gu Qingwu's schedule was densely packed with work content, even down to the details of taking time out at noon to show up at the opening ceremony of a brand store. She would ask Luo Yuan to write it down and then send it to He Sui Chen to read.
Luo Yuan automatically interpreted this as, "Miss, are you so sloppy in a relationship? Do you want to prepare a report of what you eat for three meals a day and give it to Mr. He for review?"
Gu Qingwu was too lazy to explain. In short, she was very busy with He Sui Chen and was so busy that she couldn't even spare an hour for him.
Waited to the hotel.
The styling team that Luo Yuan had hired at a high price had been waiting for a long time. In the spacious living room of the suite, everyone was busy taking out evening dresses and hanging them up. There was also a makeup artist holding a tablet, explaining the makeup to her in detail.
Gu Qingwu took a bath and sat on the sofa wrapped in a loose bathrobe. Under the bright crystal chandelier, the inky floor-to-ceiling glass next to her reflected her profile. Every inch of her face was delicate and flawless, and her expression was very calm.
She didn't look at the tablet handed to her by the makeup artist, but clicked on a photo on her phone.
In the photo, there is a little boy with a delicate and pretty face. If you look closely at his features, you will find that he looks very much like a member of the He family.
Below is an address that Zhou Fanyue gave her.
"If you don't believe me, go to New York and meet the people in person, and you'll know."
Gu Qingwu lowered her eyelashes and pondered. The makeup artist next to her came over and said gently, "Miss Gu, you can prepare for the makeup trial."
Her trance-like thoughts were interrupted and she placed her phone casually beside her.
I was trying out my makeup for the fashion show, and before I knew it, more than three hours had passed.
Luo Yuan sent someone downstairs, and when he came back he saw Gu Qingwu coming out of the cloakroom. She had changed into a moon-white dress that was ankle-length, with her thick black hair loose, and she looked like she was getting ready to go out.
"Where are you going at this late hour?"
"Go out for a walk."
Gu Qingwu took the elevator downstairs alone without her assistant. When she opened her phone to check the map, she happened to run into Xie Lin, who handed her the business card on the plane.
He checked into the Home Hotel, changed into a casual suit, with the top buttons of his shirt unfastened and his tie loose. When he saw Gu Qingwu, he took the initiative to approach her with a half-smile in his eyes:
"Beauty, we are destined to meet each other. There is a famous local bar nearby. Can I buy you a drink?"
It was obvious that this man often flirted with women. Gu Qingwu walked around him and walked out of the hotel: "I don't drink."
"Then let's have tea." Xie Lin walked leisurely beside her. His eyes accidentally swept across the address she was looking up on her phone and raised his eyebrows: "I'm familiar with this private rehabilitation club."
Gu Qingwu paused slightly in her high heels, turned her eyes sideways, and looked at him quietly.
Xie Lin took out a chocolate from his trouser pocket, unwrapped it, and threw half of it into his mouth. For a man like him who had pale skin for many years, carrying some chocolate with him did not seem out of place at all. The corners of his mouth curved up, and his voice was bitten into a low voice:
"As expected, a beautiful woman can easily make people lose their minds... Come on, I'll treat it as a good deed tonight and lead the way for this beauty."
The private rehabilitation club that Gu Qingwu wanted to go to was quite difficult to find. It required a high-level membership system, and there was no guarantee that you would be let in even if you went there.
But Xie Lin has his own way. According to him, he is a frequent visitor to more than half of the mental hospitals in New York.
Gu Qingwu sat in the passenger seat and didn't know how to organize the conversation for a long time.
She gripped the seat belt tightly with her slender fingers and looked out the window, her heart feeling uncertain.
Xie Lin tilted his head and asked her what she was thinking about.
Gu Qingwu said frankly: "With a mentally ill person driving next to me, what is the possibility of a car accident?"
Xie Lin's eyes showed a hint of teasing, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, I've flown planes before, so a mere car is nothing, I won't scare the beauty."
Gu Qingwu ignored him, and in the next moment he heard him ask, "Are you interested in keeping a gigolo?"
"… "
"I don't ask to be the main wife, that's too boring... having an affair is much more exciting."
Gu Qingwu answered him directly and reached out to turn up the light music in the car.
Seeing that Xie Lin was going to make further efforts, she said calmly: "Your looks are more than enough to be a pretty boy, but I don't like men who are too proactive."
Xie Lin tilted his head slightly, and the street light outside the car cast a shadow on his tall nose: "Then I should be more reserved?"
-
The reserved man kept silent the whole way. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the door of the private rehabilitation club.
You need to swipe your card or use fingerprint authentication to enter. Xie Lin showed his mental illness certificate and told the guard that he was here to choose a bed.
Gu Qingwu watched him quietly throughout the process. Apart from proving that what he said was true, he relied on deception to get by with everything else.
Soon, the head nurse showed up in person and took them to visit the rehabilitation center. The patients received here were all of noble status and paid great attention to their privacy.
When she reached the third floor, she suddenly stopped where she was and almost stopped.
I saw a little boy in overalls, holding a bottle of milk, walking out of the room. He was small, with short black hair draped softly on his forehead. His chubby face was very cute. But he only took two steps and then stopped. His big dark eyes looked around blankly, as if he didn't know the way.
The head nurse saw her stop and asked what was wrong.
Gu Qingwu looked at the boy and said in a calmer voice, "Is he also a patient in the club?"
Head Nurse: “Yes, autism.”
Gu Qingwu's eyelashes trembled, and then asked: "What about his parents?"
The head nurse smiled at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is the patient's privacy."
Gu Qingwu didn't say anything, her eyes lowered and she kept staring at the boy's face in the corridor until Xie Lin said beside her: "That little patient, could it be your boyfriend's illegitimate child?"
Seeing Gu Qingwu's cold face, Xie Lin felt that he had guessed it right. His brother sneered, "Men who can't control their vitals should be sent for sterilization. It's a pity that the beauty has to be a stepmother at such a young age."
There wasn't a single word she wanted to hear.
Gu Qingwu turned her face away and walked straight forward in her high heels.
"Hey, are you going to steal a child?"
