How dare she ask him how much he was worth? Gu Yebai was startled and raised his head, but he couldn't touch her eyes. Her head was lowered, as if she had been like this since just now.
When he saw Gu Yeting's hand on her shoulder, at that moment he just wanted to kill her. If he didn't love Huai'an, he could be so cold-hearted that he didn't feel much when that man almost humiliated her. If Huai'an asked for compensation, he could give it to her.
However, if that object were her, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him.
So, even though she knew it was hurt, she still said it, and she even said it without hesitation, causing everyone to misunderstand that she came here to ask for money.
"Whatever you think it's worth." When the words came to his lips, his tone was as cold as a wave.
"You don't want me anymore, do you?"
Her voice came out low, and it sounded particularly aggrieved in the curve of her bent head.
"I thought we made it clear that day." Gu Yebai turned sideways and looked ahead, fearing that if he softened his heart a little, he would be unable to hold her in his arms.
His body suddenly felt warm unexpectedly.
She wrapped her arms around his waist. Her little face was pressed against his back.
In fact, this was just a small gesture she had done many times. Why could he still be so attached to her
Her little face rubbed against his back in an unorganized manner, and she asked hesitantly: "Is what the magazine said true? You and Huai'an—" Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Whoever I am with has nothing to do with you." Gu Yebai's cold reply was in the air.
"It turns out you really don't want me anymore."
Behind her, there was a hint of laughter in her voice.
But the hot tears quickly seeped into his coat.
"Gu Yebai, I didn't harm your brother." She said softly with a hoarse voice.
"If not, don't you think it's funny that you still lie to yourself?"
He pulled her from behind to in front of him, staring at her with piercing black eyes.
"I don't want to be your weakness. Gu Yebai." She growled aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Although he had expected it, it still hurt him slightly when she confirmed this guess.
She almost blurted out and told him everything, but that damn January date—her lips moved a few times, and finally the sound disappeared.
A low laugh mixed with slight sarcasm escaped from his throat.
At the dance, she said she had something to tell him, but now, she chose to back off again.
In silence, he suddenly loosened his grip on her and said softly: "Let's go."
"What happened to my brother cannot be changed. And I am no longer interested in knowing what you want to hide."
After saying that, he turned around coldly. The sun shined through the window and fell on him.
She looked back at him.
He is close at hand, within reach. Why should she take into account the agreement with Zhou Huaian? What she needs to do is to hold on to him, right
There wasn't much time left for the two of them to waste, but now they were in a situation where they were surrounded by enemies and couldn't get any peace of mind.
Entangled again and again, but missed again and again.
The man's tall back looked a bit desolate. Youyan clenched his hands tightly.
Yes, she is stupid. Huai'an is no longer the Huai'an on campus. Perhaps, from the beginning, she was not innocent. However, she stayed with him for four years, during the days when she fled.
The last time, the last willful time, let her fulfill the agreement, and then she would take him away.
"Xiao Bai. Give me a month—"
"Then, another four years?" Gu Yebai turned around, looked at her and sneered, "I said, Lu Youyan, I won't wait for another four years."
He turned around and pressed the internal line: "L, come up and escort Miss Lu out."
He has always been resolute, so at this moment, the tiredness on the tip of his brow was easily caught by her.
Something collapsed in my heart. Youyan had something to say, but couldn't find his voice.
Linda knocked on the door and came in, then immediately closed the door, blocking all prying eyes from outside. She was usually decisive in dealing with things, but when she saw Youyan's eyes turned red, she didn't reply for a moment.
"L." Gu Yebai's voice was condensed.
Linda was stunned and immediately approached Youyan: "Miss Lu, I'll see you off."
"Sister Linda, I'll say a few more words and then leave." Youyan whispered.
Linda looked at her boss again, but the latter had turned around.
"Xiaobai, can you let me stay with you?" Youyan walked behind him again and muttered in a low voice.
The voice was full of soft and greasy grievances. Gu Yebai frowned, gritted his teeth, and finally hardened his heart, "L."
"I will leave by myself. Think about it, as long as I can be by your side, I will do anything." With tears in his eyes, Youyan walked out of the office.
Before the door closed, her voice was scattered into the void.
"I'll look for you again, because there won't be another four years."
What do you mean there won’t be another four years? He could have remained calm just a moment ago, but at this moment, Gu Yebai felt an inexplicable irritability rising in his heart, and all his thoughts and scruples were thrown aside.
The next second, Linda watched in shock as her boss slammed the door and walked out.
