At night, in the rooftop hotel in Licheng.
The phone kept ringing. Gu Qingwu was lying on the snow-white bed. Her long black hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her arms, which made her look fragile. She put her fingers gently on her lips and breathed. After a while, He Suichen came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, helped her put on her clothes, and said gently, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"
"Too lazy to move..." Gu Qingwu had little strength and was held up to sit up, leaning against his shoulder softly, wearing his light grey shirt, which was very wide and hung loosely on his body.
Those beautiful eyes, like water and mist, quietly gazed at the bustling night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
When her mind was empty, she was like a porcelain doll placed in a cupboard, a precious and fragile item that could not withstand the slightest collision.
However, He Suichen had already bumped into her many times tonight. At this moment, he gently and considerately massaged her knees. No one cared when the phone stopped ringing. His thin lips pressed against her ear: "Seeing that you are absent-minded tonight, I suddenly want to have a child with you."
Gu Qingwu's earlobe skin was very tender, and was easily stained red by his warmth. She slightly avoided him and said, "Uncle He, that's just your wishful thinking, okay?"
"You're still calling me uncle, haven't you been taught a lesson enough?"
"Well... who told you to be on good terms with my dad?"
Gu Qingwu saw his hand go into his shirt, and she finally smiled. She wanted to escape, but he pulled her back. This time, He Suichen seemed to want to comfort her, and she felt an unprecedented tenderness in this matter.
Soon, there was no other noise in the room, and rain started falling outside the window.
Gu Qingwu was trapped on this bed in this wet rainstorm. She hugged the man's neck tightly with her slender hands, kissed him, and rubbed his throat with her teeth until deep or shallow marks were left there. Only then did she feel that it was marked as her exclusive property.
Tonight the two of them didn't talk about anything else, they just focused on marking each other's bodies one mark after another.
He Sui Chen was like a sleeping hunter, lazy but full of danger. Seeing her getting bolder, he occasionally encouraged her with a few words, which was quite tempting. At the end of the fight, he whispered to Gu Qingwu what he was thinking: "When we have a daughter in the future, it would be best if her eyes were like yours. She would have a light when she looked at people, and every time she looked at me, she would be entangled in my heart. Her nose and mouth would also be like yours, like a little replica of you. She would definitely be a very lovable girl."
Gu Qingwu's slender white fingers pinched into the strong muscles of his shoulders, and her other hand grasped the pillow tightly. In the midst of a blur, she suddenly regained consciousness, her red lips slightly parted, and broken syllables quietly flowed out: "... You want to trick me into having a baby again."
He Suichen let out a low, hoarse laugh, leaned over to her ear and said, "Can that fool you?"
Gu Qingwu had this thought tonight. She had a family with He Suichen. If she had a daughter with him, she would not be very opposed. However, she had to prepare for the filming of the drama "Snowy Night" after the Spring Festival. The project had been shelved for two years, and Chu Sanyan's health was getting worse year by year...
She wanted to finish the filming as soon as possible, and getting pregnant at this critical juncture would delay everything.
Guessing Gu Qingwu's refusal, He Sui Chen said nothing more and bent down to kiss her.
The rain outside the window was getting more and more violent, just like people's irresistible... desire.
-
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in her ear, which woke Gu Qingwu up this time. She didn't ignore it and raised her hand to touch it. She found that it was Luo Yuan's call. She cleared her throat, answered it and asked, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong?"
Luo Yuan: "Little ancestor, don't you have a good relationship with the media? How come there is another scandal on the hot search?"
Gu Qingwu's heart trembled. She was just about to say that these entertainment reporters had no moral ethics, but who knew that what was exposed was her scandal with Shen Xingdu.
It ranked first on Weibo's hot search list, with a particularly explosive title: "A popular female star is getting married because she is in love. She brought a mysterious man to meet her parents. Her team did not do any public relations just to give fans a heads-up. Recently, she has been in the shadows for a while and has not been active in the circle. Can you guess who it is?"
He was almost just about to report Gu Qingwu's ID number.
Fans on Weibo all mentioned Gu Qingwu by name and dug up everything about the mysterious man in the rumors.
Among all the male actors who have worked with her, Shen Xingdu is the most suitable.
So the media began to make groundless reports, and within a short period of time, news spread that Gu Qingwu was married and pregnant.
"They said I was married... The media nowadays are really becoming more and more professional." Gu Qingwu muttered, sliding his fingertips across the screen. After reading the content of the revelation, he went to see which media did it.
It turned out to be a newly opened entertainment media, which gained a lot of traffic by revealing her gossip.
In the entertainment group, those media who received hush money were all furious:
— "Damn it, which little scumbag in the dog kennel stole our jobs? How unethical!"
— "Pairing a popular female star with a top star to stir up the hype... What a good strategy."
— "We used to follow the scene, climb mountains, and catch owls, but we didn't get any traffic from the news. In the end, this unscrupulous media got there first. My boss is so angry that he's taking blood pressure medication."
—"Goddess Gu Qingwu, have you finished planning your PR copy?"
Half an hour later.
Gu Qingwu appeared in the group and tagged everyone in the group: "My agent will contact you."
Hengcheng Entertainment, in the president's conference room.
Luo Yuan walked out with the PR plan in his hand, and then most people left. The door was closed tightly, blocking out the noisy sounds outside.
Shen Yu lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and squinted his eyes at his son who was sitting lazily across from him: "Xingdu, Dad has a feeling... If you don't seize this opportunity, don't regret it if you miss Gu Qingwu in the future."
"She is married."
Shen Xingdu had just rejected the PR department's proposal to start a relationship with Gu Qingwu at the meeting, but he didn't give a reason. Now he dropped this bombshell behind closed doors. Shen Yu was caught off guard and was choked by the smoke several times: "When did this happen? Why didn't Luo Yuan report it to the company?"
"Dian Ying said that she got married to the guy from the He family during her vacation... Not many people knew about it."
The one from the He family, Shen Yu was about to curse but held back the curse words, and asked with a complicated expression: "Does that old man Gu Wenhan know?"
Shen Xingdu sneered and raised his thin lips: "With Gu Qingwu's personality, will she inform the Gu family when she gets the marriage certificate?"
Shen Yu thought about it and knew that it would not happen. He felt very confused. He smoked the whole cigarette in silence and flicked the ashes with his long fingers: "You and this girl are just like me and her mother. After all, you are still lacking that little bit of marriage. Forget it. Dad will try to remarry Fu Wanwan. Even if you can't be husband and wife, at least you can be siblings..."
Shen Xingdu was too lazy to expose his father's self-conceit. He sat in a lazy position on the chair. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let Luo Yuan go and market the brother-sister CP."
There is no point in clarifying the scandal. Once the precedent is broken, it may come back again at any time.
The popular palace fighting drama between the two has ended, so there is no need to continue to bind the popularity. It would be better to do public relations in the direction of brother-sister relationship and directly break the hearts of marketing accounts.
Shen Xingdu looked tired and asked his father for a cigarette. He had quit smoking for a long time and the taste was a bit pungent.
He faced the building outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and in the light smoke, the emotions between his facial features also dispersed a little.
Early morning hours.
The official Weibo account of Hengcheng Entertainment officially released a clarification statement regarding the online rumors of Shen Xingdu and Gu Qingwu’s marriage, as well as a video of the two fighting when they were young.
The mystery of Gu Qingwu's life has always been unsolved. There are rumors that she was promoted by the company because she was backed by a big boss. There are all kinds of versions. No one expected that she was actually Shen Yu's former stepdaughter and grew up with Shen Xingdu.
In the video.
Gu Qingwu was wearing a red dress, with her black hair slightly curled and draped down, which made her face look delicate and round. She had been a beauty since she was a child. Just in order to grab an apple, she kicked Shen Xingdu off the rocking chair and pressed him to the ground and beat him.
Thirty seconds into the video, a woman in a purple gauze dress appeared on the screen, with only half of her profile showing. She could vaguely be seen to be very similar to the grown-up Gu Qingwu.
The fairy-like woman in the purple gauze dress picked up the little person, placed him next to the rocking chair, and seemed to give him a lecture.
Then Gu Qingwu raised her face with a stubborn expression, and she was talking to someone on the other side of the camera. Her voice was so sweet that it gently hit everyone's ears: "I'm a good baby... Don't keep saying that I'm a bad baby. I'm not on the list of bad babies."
…
The official of Hengcheng Entertainment personally stepped out to clarify the rumors between the two. This video could not be faked and it instantly caused a sensation among fans.
Some people were so adorable by Gu Qingwu's childhood appearance that they instantly became her fans, crying and shouting, "Gu Qingwu, you are a good baby, our good baby!"
Another group of people were crazy about the brother and sister CP. While they felt sorry for Shen Xingdu being beaten, they also thought that this brother and sister were so funny: "I have a bold guess, Shen Xingdu was not beaten by Gu Qingwu?"
Some fans were cursing on Weibo:
— "Hengcheng Entertainment is unethical in order to make money. Last year, the whole internet was rooting for the two of them to be the imperial concubine and the regent king in the drama, but they played dead and refused to respond to the rumors... Now they are unbundling them and saying that the two are childhood sweethearts and siblings. It's amazing."
—"Brothers and sisters who are not in the same household registration book and have no blood relationship, can they fall in love because of the play?"
— "Please, please spare Shen Xingdu's life... Let him marry Gu Qingwu, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death? I can imagine the classic scene of a top star getting slapped in the face when he's old and sitting in a wheelchair."
— "The case has been solved. No wonder the top star of "Ping Le Biography" would dedicate his first screen role. He is using his traffic to protect his sister."
After fans argued for nearly an hour, Hengcheng Entertainment’s official Weibo account released a second video.
In the video.
Gu Qingwu and Shen Xingdu were both of primary school age, and with Jiang Dianying as their companion, the trio went to and from school together every day. One time, they picked up a stray puppy on the road and secretly raised it in Shen Xingdu's room.
After a week of raising the puppy, the nanny found it. Gu Qingwu and Shen Xingdu hugged Shen Yu's thighs and cried loudly. Jiang Dianying protected the puppy and looked at the camera with tears in her eyes.
Shen Yu couldn't stand the children's crying and raised the stray dog.
In the evening, he interviewed his own son, who was very obsessed with mysophobia, with good intentions: "Why do you want to have a puppy?"
Shen Xingdu sat in a chair and did his homework. He paused for a moment, raised his handsome face to the camera, and for the first time in his young life, he showed a confused expression: "Dad, when can I grow up and get rid of my sister?"
The stray puppy lived in his children's room for a week. Shen Xingdu lived and ate with it. He wanted to throw it away but couldn't. These two little devils would visit his house every day to check on the puppy's health.
This made the young Shen Xingdu very confused. He was afraid that his sister would cry, so he could only endure the dog stench.
The video freezes on his expression, making all the fans laugh until they vomit. They tacitly send head-patting expressions: "Hahahaha... Shen Xingdu is so pitiful. It turns out that his childhood wish was to get rid of Gu Qingwu."
For a while, on Weibo's hot searches, all major media outlets cooperated with Hengcheng Entertainment's official revelations to guide the public opinion toward a brother-sister relationship.
Naturally, no one paid attention to the news about Gu Qingwu's marriage to a mysterious man.
The topic of the two of them occupied the top ten hot searches.
At 7:10 in the morning, Shen Xingdu personally forwarded a statement of clarification, each word was simple: "She is the younger sister."
These four words sealed the relationship between him and Gu Qingwu for life.
She is a younger sister, just a younger sister.
…
Gu Wenhan, who was far away in Licheng, saw this hot search and almost ended up in the emergency room.
He secretly cursed Shen Yu for being shameless and blindly recognizing his daughter. He was so angry that he got up early in the morning to call him to argue, but the call was not connected. He was so angry that his heart ached and his face looked bad.
Yi Xiaorong was woken up and saw that it was because of Gu Qingwu's scandal again. She said in her mind, "This girl is not simple... She can be protected by her former stepfather like this, I wonder what her biological father thinks."
Gu Wenhan's face looked even uglier, but he couldn't get angry because she was still pregnant.
Just as she was about to say something, Yi Xiaorong suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her stomach. She frowned slightly and took a breath: "Hiss... It hurts."
When Yi Xiaorong's stomach started to rumble, Gu Wenhan quickly called an ambulance to go to the hospital and no longer cared about Gu Qingwu.
This fetus is difficult to take care of, and it often has miscarriage problems.
When this news reached the He family, because Gu Wenhan had to concentrate on taking care of Yi Xiaorong during her pregnancy, he had to hand over the charity project in cooperation with the He family to Gu Zhengya.
After a casual chat in Li Cheng, it became clear that Gu Zhengya was interested in doing business with He Sui Chen, and she took the initiative to visit him not long after.
Even knowing that He Sui Chen had just gotten married, he brought a lot of expensive gifts to his wife, and his sincerity was impeccable.
He Sui Chen's attitude towards Gu Zhengya was far less patient than Gu Wenhan's, and even became a little perfunctory.
Gu Zhengya was left alone in the side hall for an hour before she finally saw someone, a secretary. "My young clan leader's wife accidentally got bitten on the finger by a cat. Mr. He is bandaging her. Please wait a moment, Mr. Gu."
As he spoke, he ordered someone to change Gu Zhengya's cup of hot tea.
This tea is changed every ten minutes, and drinking it makes your mouth and tongue numb.
Gu Zhengya couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and said, "I haven't met Mr. He's new wife yet..."
Before he could finish, the secretary smiled and said, "Please follow me."
The interior of the He family's old house is very large. There is still a way to go through the corridor. When you reach the attic, you can see two figures in the room with the open wooden carved door. Gu Zhengya feels vaguely familiar with them and pays close attention to the woman sitting on the chaise longue.
She was facing him with her back, wearing a long green dress that looked a bit antique, her long black hair was tied up, a few strands of hair trembled lightly on her snow-white neck. She extended her slender fingertips to He Suichen and complained like a spoiled child: "Brother... Can you not give me the injection? The cat is not sick."
As soon as the words fell.
A gust of cold wind blew, and she happened to turn her head to look outside, and the beautiful face was clearly revealed in the light.
Gu Zhengya stopped suddenly, stared at Gu Qingwu with furrowed brows, and it took him a long time to recover.
He was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so he looked around four times. Seeing that there was no other woman, he looked back.
The secretary smiled and asked, "What is Mr. Gu looking for?"
Gu Zhengya was a shrewd person, and she quickly calmed down from her shock. However, she couldn't handle He Suichen's deliberately cold attitude, so she forced herself to say, "I'll go call my disappointing brother."
When the call was made, Gu Wenhan was still in the dark and said, "Brother, that damn girl Gu Cuocuo didn't learn her lesson and became a mistress to that guy from the He family."
"She's a mistress?"
Gu Zhengya laughed in anger, and said angrily, "Wenhan...your daughter is the wife of the young patriarch of the He family. You didn't even know that you were fooled, and you even made me embarrassed here?"
