Half a cigarette later, He Sui Chen kept his word and personally drove her back to the hotel where she was staying.
The door of the room opened, and Gu Qingwu suddenly turned around and urged him to leave quickly:
“… I’m going in.”
He Suichen stood two steps away from her. Seeing her avoiding him, he restrained himself and slowly put his slender hands into his trouser pockets. He leaned forward and asked her, "I'll send a driver to pick you up tomorrow. Do you still want to stay at this hotel?"
"In the afternoon."
"Okay, go to bed early tonight."
He Suichen lowered his voice even more. In the warm yellow light of the corridor, his handsome face was silhouetted more clearly and three-dimensionally. There seemed to be a hint of smile in his deep eyes, and his gaze never left her.
There was silence for two seconds.
Gu Qingwu's mood was inexplicably affected. She clenched the cold door handle with her white fingers and slowly closed the door.
The lights were off, the hotel's heavy curtains hung over the spotless floor, and the surroundings were dim and quiet.
In the suite, Gu Qingwu's slender back was still pressed against the door, her hand on the door handle, adjusting her too rapid breathing again and again.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang without warning.
Gu Qingwu blinked her thick eyelashes lightly, came to her senses and picked up the phone. She saw that the caller ID on the screen was He Sui Chen. Her heart beat faster and after hesitating for two or three seconds, she chose to answer the call, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The man's breathing was faint on the phone, and his low and hoarse voice came through clearly: "I will arrange for my secretary to send you some clothes for visiting elders this morning. Is the size still the same as before?"
He Sui Chen spoke slowly, giving her time to digest every word.
She was only 17 years old before. How old is she now? How is it possible that she has not grown physically
Gu Qingwu silently looked at her own slender shadow on the floor, not knowing whether He Suichen was still outside in the corridor. She subconsciously said in a low voice: "No."
After a two-second pause, I guessed that his next question would be about my body size.
As a female star, Gu Qingwu often has to borrow dresses from brands when walking the red carpet and attending business events. Naturally, she has a precise set of clothing sizes that are always remembered by her management team, but she usually doesn't think anything of it.
But it is always difficult to tell He Sui Chen in person.
So she spoke first, trying to sound calm, and asked, "Can't I wear my own clothes?"
He Suichen did not reply to her, but asked in a low voice, as if whispering in her ear: "What are your body dimensions?"
Gu Qingwu fell silent instantly.
"You don't have to say it." Although it was a rather frivolous remark, he spoke it in a calm tone, making it sound particularly serious: "I have always had a good eye, I should be able to see it."
"… "
Gu Qingwu hung up the phone expressionlessly, then turned around and locked the door.
You shouldn't pay any attention to this fake monk with impure senses.
After silencing her cell phone, Gu Qingwu went to the bathroom to take a shower. The shower was turned on very high. She stood against the wall, letting the water flow down along the bone line of her shoulders.
The large floor-length mirror next to her reflected her slim figure, which was thin but not revealing, especially her back, which looked thin and smooth, her skin was white and without any flaws.
Gu Qingwu spent half an hour in the shower, and couldn't help but recall the scenes of her time with He Suichen tonight. From his expression when he proposed to take her to see the centenarian in the private restaurant, rubbing her lips with his slender fingertips, and the ambiguous feelings between them when they were sent back to the hotel.
All these had completely turned her heart upside down, and she still felt palpitations.
After a while, Gu Qingwu came out wrapped in a bath towel and walked to the bed.
She changed into her pajamas, picked up her phone and swiped the screen. Coincidentally, a verification message from a new friend popped up on WeChat.
Gu Qingwu discovered that the other party was added by searching for a mobile phone number, and the note was Liang Ting.
She clicked through with her fingertips and immediately appeared on the chat interface.
But there was no more movement, and neither of them was of the natural and familiar character.
It was almost midnight when the lights in the bedroom were turned off.
Gu Qingwu tossed and turned the whole day and felt exhausted when he lay down on the bed. He slept particularly deeply.
When he woke up the next day, He Sui Chen's secretary was very efficient and had already delivered the clothes.
Gu Qingwu walked out of the master bedroom and saw Luo Yuan coming in at some point. He was carefully taking out a dark green thin silk cheongsam from his clothing bag and placing it on the large sofa. It was obvious to the naked eye that the workmanship was definitely at the master level, and the silk used was extremely fine, with a smooth color glowing in the sunlight reflected through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Seeing that Gu Qingwu had finally woken up, Luo Yuan turned around and asked, "Why did Mr. He send you a cheongsam for no reason?"
Gu Qingwu didn't tell him the truth and said lazily, "Who knows him?"
Luo Yuan did not suspect anything. After all, Gu Qingwu had been under his supervision during this period of time. She was so busy every day that she had no private time at all. She would occasionally leave her cell phone with him. It did not seem at all like she had any secret affair with He Sui Chen behind others' backs.
He quickly put it out of his mind and handed the cheongsam to Gu Qingwu: "I don't know if Mr. He bought the right size. Go and try it on."
Not only did He Sui Chen get the right size, every inch was just right.
When Gu Qingwu put on this cheongsam, it was tailored to fit her body smoothly, as if every part of her body was measured inch by inch with a ruler, without any mistakes, which set off her whole temperament, which was cool and bright, and people who saw her would not dare to have any evil thoughts...
It's just that I was attracted by Gu Qingwu's beauty.
Luo Yuan praised her highly on the spot and even wanted to take a photo with his mobile phone and post it on Weibo as a treat for his fans.
Gu Qingwu stopped her and refused to take any photos no matter what, which made her act like she was in a very strange situation.
It was almost the agreed time in the afternoon.
Gu Qingwu put on some light makeup and prepared to go out, but when she and Luo Yuan just came out of the elevator and walked to the underground parking garage, before the car sent by He Sui Chen arrived, another black business car slowly appeared in their sight.
The car door opened, and it was Shen Yu sitting in the back seat, saying to her sparingly, "Get in the car first."
Shen Yu came to pick her up this time because the director of "Ping Le Biography" invited several heavyweight actors to a dinner party.
The venue was set at a nearby high-end hotel. Before the group took the elevator up, Gu Qingwu glanced at Luo Yuan and said, "Can't we do it another day?"
Luo Yuan was beside her, almost kneeling down to her: "My dear Miss, Mr. Shen has invested a lot of money in this big-budget TV series. He specially spent a lot of money to invite movie stars to play your supporting roles. Everyone is very busy... No matter what you have to do tonight, even if you are going to give birth, you must go to the box and recognize everyone first."
Gu Qingwu: “…”
"Besides, the male lead for your drama has been decided." Luo Yuan looked at Shen Yu who was not far away and whispered, "Boss Shen went through a lot of trouble to find this top star."
No matter how you look at it, Gu Qingwu had no reason to refuse to attend the party.
If she dared to turn around and leave, Luo Yuan would definitely jump off the building on the spot.
After getting out of the elevator, the corridor was covered with thick, soft carpet, which made no sound when walking on it. When I was almost at the box, I could hear laughter and joyful chatter from inside the door.
Gu Qingwu followed Shen Yu in. There were many people sitting at the tables inside, and she soon saw a familiar face.
Shen Xingdu was sitting next to the main seat, leaning against the back of the chair wearing a grey hoodie, his long legs, outlined in straight lines by black trousers, draped casually, with a bohemian and ruffian air emanating from his bones. He lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced over coldly.
Gu Qingwu almost turned around and left. Is this the top star that Shen Yu had been looking for with so much difficulty
Director Yue Zui came over to greet people when he saw them coming. It was obvious that he was even more satisfied after seeing Gu Qingwu in person: "Little Gu looks even prettier than in the photo. Please take a seat."
Gu Qingwu raised her signature smile and shook hands with the director: "Director Yue, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Perhaps fearing the awkward situation, Shen Yu interrupted at the right time and said to her meaningfully: "Wuwu, you and Xingdu grew up together, so I won't introduce you to him... This is also his first time acting in a drama, so you two should cooperate well and get along well with each other."
These few words, said in front of the director and the best actor and actress, did not give Gu Qingwu any chance to change the male lead.
Gu Qingwu had a grudge against Shen Xingdu. After all, when Shen Yu and her mother got married, the relationship between their children was not very good.
She was arranged to sit in the next seat, and she didn't even bother to glance over. Everyone in the box was chatting lively about the latest projects in the entertainment industry, but the quiet and deserted atmosphere here seemed out of place.
After Gu Qingwu sat down, he did not respond to any socializing and left everything to his agent.
She took out her cell phone to kill time, and her fingertips subconsciously clicked on the urgent text message she had sent to He Sui Chen. After a two-second pause, she opened the Snake game again, her thick eyelashes always drooping.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xingdu went out to answer a phone call.
Instead, Shen Yu sat in the empty seat next to her and smiled gently: "Wuwu, are you in a bad mood tonight? Why don't you talk to Xingdu?"
Gu Qingwu's white and tender fingertips slid across the screen, and her tone was very unfamiliar: "Mr. Shen must be drunk. Mr. Shen and I have nothing to say. We are both in the entertainment industry, so it's better to avoid suspicion."
Shen Yu still tried his best to bring this marriage together. Seeing her face that looked very much like his first love, he paused and said, "Wuwu, you have been my daughter for a year, and you will always be in my heart. Xingdu will inherit Hengcheng Entertainment in the future. You can marry into our family and you will have all the resources you want in the future."
His conditions sounded tempting, but Gu Qingwu was completely indifferent to the word "resources".
"Even if there is no affection now, in two or three years, it will be cultivated sooner or later..."
Hearing Shen Yu's words, Gu Qingwu finally raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "Oh, so you stuffed your own son into the crew, hoping that I would fall in love with him because of the play?"
Daydreaming.
Gu Qingwu was so amused that even the snake on his phone crashed into the wall and died.
After playing for a long time and feeling bored, she picked up the thin chopsticks and prepared to eat something.
Shen Yu couldn't do anything to her, and at the door of the box, the director accidentally ran into someone in the corridor.
After a warm greeting, he invited the person in.
They are all in the entertainment industry, so even if they are not familiar with each other, they are acquaintances.
As Wen He, the vice president of Shengyu Film and Television, walked in, he greeted Shen Yu and the others first. The scene was very lively and everyone had their own thoughts.
Gu Qingwu had some impression of this woman with a bright smile. It was she who invited a big shot like He Sui Chen to the drinking party, which showed that their relationship was not ordinary.
When Wen He walked up to her, he first looked at her cheongsam with appreciation, then reached out to rub her soul-stirring waist, and whispered "sister-in-law".
In a flash, he invited her to sit in the next box later. No one else could hear him, and he didn't give Gu Qingwu a chance to explain her relationship with He Sui Chen, so he left with his glass in hand.
Gu Qingwu: “…”
At this time, Shen Xingdu appeared out of nowhere, pulled out a chair and sat next to her, tapped her desk with his long fingers, put on a sour face and said, "Don't play dumb, add WeChat."
Gu Qingwu picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, her tone was cold and cold: "Stay away from me, I'm allergic to men."
