After returning to Sicheng, Gu Qingwu was immediately taken by Luo Yuan for an audition. The consequence of taking such a long vacation was obvious. She had no right to protest. She was like a puppet, busy with work every day, as well as the piles of magazine shoots and promotional notices on her hands.
No matter how busy Gu Qingwu was, she never forgot to return to the apartment and often sneaked in in the middle of the night. She found that no matter how late it was, He Sui Chen would wear a white shirt and long pants and quietly sit on the sofa in the living room reading a book. There was a floor lamp lit next to him, and the warm yellow light softly set off the night.
Among the thousands of bright and bustling lights, there is a lamp that finally belongs to her.
Gu Qingwu felt very at ease. She was used to falling into He Suichen's arms after taking a shower and falling asleep smelling the pure and pure agarwood on his body. No matter how tired she was, she could go out to work well with full energy the next day.
She asked He Sui Chen for his bank account number and transferred all her film earnings into it.
Luo Yuan was amazed by this operation: "Where is Mr. He, the accountant in your family?"
Gu Qingwu put on the tassel earrings, which were very long and hung on her collarbone. She turned her head and smiled: "He Suichen is now my financial manager."
"Aren't you afraid that he will run away with the money and leave you with nothing?"
"Brother Yuan, you don't understand..." Gu Qingwu decided to analyze the situation with him and said with reason and evidence: "He Suichen is now unemployed at home, and I am a popular star in the domestic entertainment industry, and my career has reached its peak. This will not be conducive to the development of our relationship in the long run, so we need to find a balance between the two of us."
She appears to be cold and aloof on the surface, but in essence she is a delicate and sensitive girl. As long as she is willing to do it, she knows how to get along with men better than anyone else. Luo Yuan was a little impressed: "You and Mr. He are really friends in times of trouble."
“… Who said he and I are truly in love?”
"So girl, when are you going to get married with your true love?"
As for this matter, Gu Qingwu took the initiative to report it to Luo Yuan as soon as he returned to Sicheng.
I thought Luo Yuan would strongly oppose it, but he agreed to the marriage after smoking a cigarette, and said, "You and Mr. He have been at odds for a month. You couldn't eat or sleep well. I saw it all. Now you've reconciled and there are stars in your eyes. If you want to get married, then get married."
Gu Qingwu didn't expect that during her calm period, her depressed state was so obvious that even people around her could see it.
But when everything goes smoothly, the whole person will be refreshed, smiling at everything. At this moment, he tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, then said, "Well, I don't know when to get married. Let's wait for He Suichen to check the almanac."
After returning from Nanming Temple, I didn’t see him mention it…
In the evening, Gu Qingwu attended a dinner for a jewelry event. She was the center of attention wherever she went. She drank two glasses of wine with the brand and took some photos. Before leaving, she met Jiang Xuening.
Although both of them are artists of Hengcheng Entertainment, they are about to fade out of the social circle of popular young actresses since Jiang Xuening and Shen Xingdu broke up.
I heard Luo Yuan say this last time.
Fang Kui resigned and jumped to Shengyu to work as an agent.
When Jiang Xuening was popular before, it was all thanks to her agent's good marketing. Now that she has lost her left and right arms, she can only live in disgrace. She has retreated to the third line, and it is very deserted around her. Seeing Gu Qingwu looking at her inadvertently, they stared at each other from a distance.
Soon, Gu Qingwu turned her head as if nothing had happened, picked up her skirt and left.
After the cocktail party, Gu Qingwu returned to his apartment and went to bed.
She slept exceptionally soundly after drinking. When she woke up, it was already the next day. The white gauze from the floor-to-ceiling window hung on the floor and fluttered in the wind.
Gu Qingwu hugged the pillow beside her, not wanting to get up. She took out her phone and checked the work group. She saw the itinerary sent by Luo Yuan and knew that she had nothing to do in the morning, so she lay down with peace of mind.
Half an hour later, Gu Qingwu finally got up, threw off the quilt, walked out barefoot on the ground.
In the morning, the living room was brightly lit. The first thing she saw was He Suichen's tall figure standing beside the dining table, preparing breakfast. He was now willing to serve as a family nanny, taking care of her daily life in various ways.
It’s nice to think about having a handsome man who is good at cooking and doing housework waiting for her to favor him at home.
Gu Qingwu smiled and walked over, stepping on his cotton shoes with her toes. When she looked up and spoke, she hooked the man's belt with her white fingers: "Good morning, brother."
He Suichen poured the fragrant corn juice, then bent down and kissed the corner of her lips: "Morning."
One kiss was not enough, Gu Qingwu continued to raise her head, her long, dark and messy hair hanging down to her waist, the ends of her hair brushing smoothly across the man's arm, making his heart flutter. He picked her up without saying hello and walked towards the bathroom.
The bathroom door was closed and the sound of water covered everything.
Gu Qingwu stood against the wall, with a few strands of hair covering her cheeks. She sometimes frowned and sometimes bit her lips.
Behind her, He Sui Chen's breath was close to her earlobe, all the way down, from her slender back to her waistline. His palms were burning hot, touching her snow-white skin, pinching it gently, leaving rose petal-like marks. He was becoming more and more adept at this and would not leave marks in obvious places.
The coolness of the wall and the body temperature behind him easily made Gu Qingwu indulge in it. She softened and leaned into his arms, her skin rubbing against the fabric of his shirt. Two words slipped quietly from her lips: "Brother..."
He Suichen held her cheek with his long fingers, lowered his head and groped over, giving her an unprecedented gentle kiss.
"I looked through the almanac for half a month, and today is a good day to get married. Can we go get the marriage certificate?"
Gu Qingwu's curled eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly looked at him. Her eyes seemed to be washed by water, and there seemed to be a flash of crystal tears.
…
"I heard that your younger brother is getting married today. As his elder brother, why don't you send him some gifts?"
In the He family mansion, a curtain was rolled up, and Xie Lanshen was sitting on the sofa sipping tea. The sun was shining brightly outside, casting a layer of light gold on the outline of his dark blue suit. He placed his black cell phone on the coffee table and turned his face to the outside.
At this moment, He Yunjian was feeding the carp in the pond. As he had just recovered from a long illness, his face was still thin and pale. His voice was a little slow: "This kid is really quick."
Before he finished speaking, the secretary knocked on the door and invited the visitor in.
Several people moved to the next side hall and talked secretly for a long time. The men spoke slowly and their tones were almost the same. Even if the matter was a big one, they could talk about it with laughter.
In the tea room next door, Yu Siqing squatted behind a screen looking for a tea bag. Her entire back was stiff and even her slight breathing disappeared. The only thing she could clearly hear was He Yunjian's lazy and smiling voice coming through the door.
He personally admitted to Xie Lanshen that he and He Sui Chen had staged a feud to create brotherly discord, and had been quietly sidelining He Yuliu for months.
She was his aunt who had worked hard to raise him, but in the end, who would have thought that after He Yunjian got the shares of He Yuliu, she would get rid of him while the He family members were still unable to react.
The man's whispered words made Yu Siqing's fair face even more pale. She wanted to stand up after squatting for a long time, but she forgot that her legs were numb. She didn't stand firmly and touched the screen with her hand. The slight sound of movement almost made her scream.
Fortunately, she managed to hold it in. Yu Siqing held her breath, held the screen steady, listened carefully to the idle chatter next door, and slowly loosened her fingers.
Before He Yunjian noticed, she walked out of the door on the other side. When she stepped into the corridor, a soft little girl's voice came from the side: "Auntie, have you seen my dad?"
Yu Siqing turned her head in surprise and saw a girl in a white dress approaching slowly. She was as delicate as a fragile porcelain doll, with slightly curled black hair hanging down to her waist. She was looking at her with her head slightly tilted, her expression soft and quiet.
"Aunt?"
This gentle call brought Yu Siqing back to her senses. She even subconsciously lowered her voice, fearing to startle the girl in front of her: "Who is your father?"
"Xie Lanshen is my father... My name is Xiao Guanyin, and I came to the He family as a guest with my father today."
She was a little guest invited by He Yunjian. She couldn't find her father for a moment, so she raised her delicate face and blinked her eyes: "Auntie, are you afraid of something?"
This little girl seems to be able to read people's minds.
Yu Siqing subconsciously didn't want to look her in the eye. She was about to point the way, but then changed her mind. She was silent for a while, took out a strawberry-flavored candy from her pocket, and handed it to her: "Here you go."
Little Guanyin took it with her white and tender palm. Her father had taught her to be polite since she was young. After thanking her softly, she turned over the bunny bag in her arms, took out a small, crystal-clear dice, and gave it to Yu Siqing in return: "For auntie."
Yu Siqing was stunned for a few seconds, and then saw the girl's delicate lips curved into a smile: "My uncle gave it to me."
The uncle she mentioned must be, if I'm not mistaken, Xie Lin, the second son of the Xie family.
Yu Siqing took the dice, feeling a little uneasy, so she didn't talk to the girl in front of her for a few more words, and pointed her to a road: "There is a housekeeper in front, you go ask for directions, and don't tell your father later... I met my aunt here, okay?"
Little Guanyin stood on tiptoe, with a scent of milk coming out, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, my father is the easiest to fool."
After Yu Siqing said goodbye to the girl from the Xie family, she left the corridor with her tea bag, turned a corner, and walked towards the attic. Her company's team was still waiting in the living room, waiting for He Yunjian to finish meeting the guests before coming to discuss the project details.
Because the tea bag was finished, Yu Siqing took a new one and made a new cup of tea for everyone.
A male colleague in the team asked: "When will Mr. He come?"
Yu Siqing smiled on the surface, thinking that He Yunjian might have forgotten about the reception room here and was still waiting for a group of people.
After sitting for a while, she suddenly put down the teacup in her hand, remembered that her briefcase was left on the second floor, whispered something to her colleague, got up and went out.
Walking downstairs from the third floor, everything around was very quiet. She knew that He Yunjian didn't like people walking around in the yard, so usually there were few people around.
Arriving at the side hall on the second floor, Yu Siqing saw the briefcase quietly placed on the sofa. When she walked over, she heard footsteps from the half-open door next door. Just as she was about to turn around, a cold, white, slender hand grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the dim inner room.
Yu Siqing's voice had already broken her throat, but before she could shout out, it was blocked by the man's cold thin lips.
The strange yet familiar touch made her mind go blank and her heart beat painfully. She only knew that the man was holding down her struggling wrists and trapping her against the wall, leaving no gap, and was kissing her lips almost cruelly.
The pain brought Yu Siqing back to her senses. Just as she was about to bite the tongue that was entangled with her, He Yunjian grabbed her chin first: "What did you hear while hiding in the tea room, huh?"
This sentence made Yu Siqing quiet in a second, and her body became stiff.
He Yunjian's kiss was cold. He released her lips, and moved his teeth down to grind her extremely fragile larynx. He then moved his teeth down to bite open the blouse that covered her chest. The buttons broke open one by one, bringing fatal danger.
Before he touched her below the collarbone, Yu Siqing's body was shaking violently, and she kicked his feet with her high heels: "He Yunjian, did you take too much medicine and recognize the wrong person?"
She stepped hard, and the man bit her fiercely as well. The knuckles of his wrist turned slightly white, and veins even popped out on the back of his hand.
The two of them seemed to be fighting to the death, neither of them willing to admit defeat, but there was a natural disparity in strength between men and women, and Yu Siqing was no match for his dominance, and her shirt collar was torn. Her shoulders were thin and white, but her chest was not small.
There were strong emotions in He Yunjian's eyes, and his gaze was extremely powerful as he stared at her pitiful appearance.
No one spoke, breathing heavily and gently, until he bent down to kiss her, and a hoarse voice rolled out of his throat: "Yu Siqing, your useless boyfriend... has he ever treated you like this?"
Yu Siqing didn't know what was the point of him asking such a question. From He Yunjian's eyes, she knew very well that he had forgotten them both long ago.
I have already forgotten, why do I still keep nagging about it
She was stung by his strange but possessive eyes, and her eyes almost turned red. She dug her fingertips tightly into her palms and said, "What did you do with Wu Chuixi? Wen Qihang and I have done it too. Are you satisfied with this answer, Mr. He?"
The last sentence was said almost with gritted teeth.
He Yunjian laughed quietly, revealing a dangerous tone: "Yes, how many men can resist a chaste and heroic woman like you?"
Yu Siqing wanted to taunt him back, but he sealed her lips and bit them fiercely, occasionally letting out a few words: "You've been wearing a professional suit and skirt in front of me all day, you know? I've wanted to peel off your fake skin for a long time."
He Yunjian admitted word by word that he was seduced by her, but this was what Yu Siqing was most reluctant to admit. Every time she came to the He family, she was with the company team, never crossed the line, and never had any unrealistic thoughts.
Each time we had normal work contact, the conversation did not exceed ten sentences.
…
In this dark inner room, He Yunjian almost stripped her completely, and she could do nothing but watch him trace her black hair all the way down to her slender calves, not leaving out a single inch.
Outside, one could hear the noise of servants cleaning the side hall, occasionally chatting in low voices.
It's so close.
Yu Siqing was afraid of being seen, so she didn't dare to cry anymore. With trembling gentle eyes, she saw that after He Yunjian had done all these, his shirt and trousers were not even messy, they were still meticulous and neat, as if the crazy man just now was not him.
The skirt and torn shirt were picked up and passed back to her gradually cooling skin. He said to her with pity, "Go back and break up with your useless boyfriend, and be my woman from now on."
The He family and Geyuan Group have almost agreed on the project details. If things continue like this, Yu Siqing won't have to come to the He family again.
After He Yunjian helped her put on her clothes and tidied her messy hair, he made this request as a matter of course. He touched her dazed and numb face with his long fingers and threw out the chips: "Fanfan needs you as a mother..."
The child is the most vulnerable part of Yu Siqing's heart. She hasn't seen Yu Jiafan since she left New York. She will actively come to the He family so that she can have the opportunity to see the child.
He Yunjian seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He had never handed over the child from the beginning to the end. Now he was using it as a winning chip, forcing and luring her to compromise. Yu Siqing didn't quite understand him and asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"
"What?"
"After you woke up... you no longer remembered me, and you had no feelings for me."
Admitting this made Yu Siqing feel almost heartbroken. She endured it and said with a pale face: "Why do you still treat me like this?"
The He Yunjian in front of her now was no longer as cold and unfamiliar to her as he was in New York. Instead, he seemed to have taken off his disguised kind side and revealed his most evil side to her.
Yu Siqing even wondered vaguely whether this was the man she fell in love with.
He Yunjian was stunned for a second when asked. In fact, he didn't know why he had desire for a woman as plain as Yu Siqing. When he first looked at her, he didn't feel much, but after looking at her for a long time, he became addicted.
As the entire project was discussed, He Yunjian's eyes were increasingly focused on Yu Siqing's back. Seeing her being hugged by another man around the waist, he always had a strong premonition in his heart that the man hugging her should be him.
He Yunjian remembered that three days ago, Wen Qihang revealed that he wanted to propose to Yu Siqing. His thin lips curled coldly, and his uncontrollable anger was revealed.
In an instant, he hid his secrets perfectly, gently wiped away the woman's tears, and his slow voice was already bewitching: "My dear, you are a smart woman. You know that I will never marry you in this life, but my son was born in your belly. Considering this relationship, I will give you everything you want, except the status."
Yu Siqing leaned against the wall without moving. Her body was so cold that even her fingertips were cold.
She recalled what she had overheard in the tea room. In time, no one in the entire He family would be able to control He Yunjian. He was too good at disguising himself. On the surface, he obeyed He Yuliu in everything. If her aunt wanted him to become the head of the He family again, he would really turn against his own brother.
No one knew that this good nephew who was so filial to his aunt had already teamed up with his younger brother to plot a conspiracy with evil ambitions.
Yu Siqing laughed until tears came out, and looked at him with a hidden hatred in her eyes: "This position of the head of the family is something He Suichen himself didn't want, right? He lived in seclusion in the temple back then, and he returned to the He family to fight for power in order to protect the family business for you... It's been seven years, and He Suichen has long wanted to unload the heavy responsibility and throw the mess back to you..."
He Yunjian's slender fingers returned to her throat bone and pinched it very lightly, as if playing with a small animal: "You know my brother very well."
Yu Siqing tilted her neck, her face as white as paper, but she was still smiling: "Who made me like him... You don't know yet? He Yunjian... During the years when you became a vegetable and unconscious, I..."
Her last few words, in which she personally admitted that she had transferred her feelings to He Sui Chen, were sternly strangled back by He Yunjian.
The force was enough to nearly break the thin neck. It was not until Yu Siqing was almost suffocated by lack of oxygen that the force loosened a little. She took a deep breath, her knees softened, and she knelt unsteadily on the carpet.
Her eyes trembled as she raised them, looking up from the cold hem of the man's suit pants, and rested on the dull face.
Next second.
Her shoulder was slammed hard against the wall, and the pain made her unable to straighten her back. Soon, her cheeks were pinched, and she was forced to look up. She saw He Yunjian pulling off his belt with an expressionless face, and accidentally, the end of it hit her face lightly.
This kind of pain was far less than the absurdity that happened next.
-
The night became as dark as thick ink, and the lanterns in the He family's residence lit up, illuminating every corner.
Wu Chuixi cooked the medicine soup, but couldn't find He Yunjian anywhere. She asked the housekeeper but he didn't know either. She could only wait in the living room and listen to the two servants gossiping in low voices in the corridor.
"Director Yu of Geyuan Group has a sore mouth. The owner asked me to give her some ointment, but she refused."
"During the day, I heard the master of the house and Director Yu arguing in the inner room. I also heard the sound of the back of his head hitting the wall. It was a loud bang. It was so scary."
"Director Yu, was he kissed forcibly... or something?"
"I saw her lips cracked and turned red. Hush, don't talk nonsense... The head of the family and Wu Chuixi are a couple, what's the point of us talking about Director Yu?"
Soon the whispered gossip died down.
Wu Chuixi sat on a pearwood chair with medicine in his hand. He felt empty inside and his expression changed several times.
She lowered her head and looked at the charming young face reflected in the medicine soup. Gradually, a look of resentment appeared on her face, as if it was engraved on her face and could no longer be hidden.
…
The lights in the high-end apartment in the center of Sicheng are bright at this moment.
It has been three hours since Gu Qingwu returned home from the Civil Affairs Bureau. He knelt on the edge of the snow-white bed, staring at the two red marriage certificates intently. It was like a dream, but the two people's names and photos were clearly written on them, and they could not be faked.
Mrs. He.
These three words sounded very sweet. From today on, she was He Sui Chen's legitimate wife.
Gu Qingwu smiled with her eyes curved, climbed down from the bed, solemnly locked the marriage certificate in the safe, turned around and went back, and saw He Sui Chen coming out of the shower. The two of them approached each other tacitly and kissed for a long time.
He Sui Chen held her in his strong arms and carried her to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down on a single sofa, and whispered to her to stretch out her hand.
Gu Qingwu thought he was going to kiss her, so she generously put her hand to her eyes. But the next second, He Sui Chen took out a ring from his trouser pocket. It was not a big diamond ring, but an antique one, the color of emerald, which made her ring finger look slender and white.
"Brother, the ring is..."
"This is my He family's ancestral ring, which is only passed down to the mistress of the house. The previous mistress was my mother."
Gu Qingwu nestled in his arms for a long time without making a sound, then slowly clenched her palms, took a deep breath and said, "What will your eldest brother do if he can't find the ring when he gets married?"
Perhaps because this question was too funny, He Suichen laughed softly and kissed her cheek: "That's his business."
Seeing that he was confident and righteous, Gu Qingwu had nothing to worry about. However, a blush spread across her face and she curled her lips: "I forgot to prepare a ring for my brother. I'll go buy it tomorrow! I'll buy a super, super expensive one for my brother."
What He Sui Chen wanted was her, and he didn't care about these material things.
He held Gu Qingwu in front of the French window and kissed her for a long time. Outside the dark glass was a dazzling array of lights from thousands of houses. After they had kissed enough, they leaned against each other and quietly watched the night scene.
After a long time.
He Suichen held her slender hand and took a photo. Even without beauty filters, she was so beautiful that there was no flaw. He posted this photo to his Moments. At 9:10 pm, the official announcement of the marriage flooded the Moments of the wealthy family: "From now on, I will not pray to the Buddha or God, I only pray to you."
You don't have to sleep tonight.
Gu Qingwu saw that He Sui Chen’s phone was ringing like crazy, with notification sounds continuing one after another, all of which were congratulations.
She took it, swiped the screen with her fingertips, saw who was on it, and flipped through it with great interest.
Later, a new piece of news popped up, and the avatar was Gu Wenhan's face, who also followed suit and offered congratulations: "Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. He. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
The phone was taken away by He Suichen, and he replied to his father-in-law in a very low-key and reserved manner: "Thank you."
The author has something to say: (>w There will be various sweet extra chapters about Qing Wu and Mr. He after their marriage, as well as extra chapters about raising little cubs and parallel worlds. Huanhuan has arranged all the sweet plots you want to see!
