After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Zhong Ning paused slightly while shaking the coffee, raised his eyes, and looked straight into Gu Xiu's eyes that were like the abyss.

She calmed herself down before replying, "I consider him an ex!"

"Does he look like me?"

"Ok!"

"So when you look at me, are you really looking at me, or are you looking through my face to see another person?"

Gu Xiu couldn't help himself and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Zhong Ning was surprised by his straightforwardness, but didn't think too much about it. He just replied, "Sometimes I look at you, sometimes I look at him."

"When I look at you, I know you are Mr. Gu. When I look at him, I occasionally think of the past, but now, I just look at you."

"Because you and he are two different people after all."

"Even though I was distracted at first, I'm clear-headed now."

"You are you, he is him, I won't confuse you two."

"So Mr. Gu can rest assured!"

Zhong Ning sat up straight and answered the question seriously.

She did not avoid the fact that she did mistake the person for a moment at the beginning, but she quickly realized it.

Gu Mingzhe is Gu Mingzhe, and Gu Xiu is Gu Xiu.

Gu Mingzhe is a sincere and warm gentleman who occasionally acts like a spoiled child.

Gu Xiu, however, is a cold and indifferent, overbearing CEO whose emotions are unrecognizable.

Compared to the latter, she preferred the young man who would hug her and act coquettishly and ask for kisses. However, because she chose to leave, she still hurt that person's heart.

From now on, I may never see you again.

Gu Xiu got his answer and felt very upset.

His fingers, buried under the table, dug into his palms, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

At this moment, an unspeakable jealousy seemed to surge in his heart.

Yes, it's jealousy.

He couldn't control himself whenever he thought about the past she had with a man.

After a long while, Gu Xiu finally spoke in a deep voice: "Where is he now?"

"He is very far away, so far that we may never meet in this lifetime..." Zhong Ning said lightly, with a hint of melancholy in his expression.

We will never meet each other in this life.

Doesn't that mean death?

The jealousy that arose in Gu Xiu's heart was suppressed in an instant.

Why should he bother with a dead person? He can't come back to life and snatch it from him anyway.

However, once a person dies, it will be forever engraved in her heart, and I am afraid she will never forget it in her lifetime.

If that's the case, then wouldn't he have to live under the shadow of Gu Mingzhe forever?

So what does this mean for him?

Is she very similar to you?

Or a substitute?

Gu Xiu pursed his lips, with a tentative look in his eyes, and asked, "Do you love him very much?"

"Not really, I just like him a little bit. The one I love the most is only myself!" Zhong Ning replied, his voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

If she really knew how to love someone, she would probably forget herself.

This is also the reason why she has always emphasized that she only wants a concubine and not a husband.

Because if you stay with a man for a long time, it will be easy to be tempted.

In ancient times, she already knew that she would not be able to stay for long, but whether it was Qi Yu or Gu Mingzhe, she only had a superficial liking for them, not love.

Liked by Zhong Yu because of his appearance.

She always puts herself first.

But even so, after she came back, she would occasionally lose her mind when she saw faces that were too similar to those two people.

"Aning..." Gu Xiu suddenly spoke, and Zhong Ning looked up suddenly.

You know, Gu Xiu had always called her Miss Zhong before, but now he suddenly called her Aning. Coupled with that familiar face, Zhong Ning was confused for a moment.

But it was only a moment before she regained consciousness.

This is not Gu Mingzhe, but Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu is not a man she can afford to offend.

Even if Zhang Wanting praises herself more, she is just an ordinary worker.

Since you are a worker, you must have the awareness of a worker.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning immediately began to see the guest off: "Mr. Gu, I'm a little tired. Let's stop here today!"

Gu Xiu felt a little sad, she called him President Gu.

There seemed to be an invisible and intangible barrier between the two of them.

Gu Xiu stood up and walked towards the door reluctantly.

Zhong Ning instinctively stood up to see the guest off, but saw Gu Xiu suddenly stop, turn around and stand in front of her.

The 1.80 meter height blocked all his vision like a mountain pressing down on his head. Gu Xiu's eyes were burning, and there was no longer the coldness and indifference in his eyes. He was left looking at Zhong Ning helplessly and slightly aggrieved.

"Mr. Gu?" Zhong Ning was confused and didn't know why Gu Xiu suddenly looked at her like that. This look made her heart tremble and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"I haven't answered the question just now." Gu Xiu lowered his head and moved a little closer, so close that Zhong Ning could clearly see his long eyelashes and his warm breathing.

Zhong Ning raised his eyes, his gaze blank.

Did she ask any questions just now?

Gu Xiu stared at Zhong Ning's eyes with a burning gaze, and he opened his thin lips slightly, causing Zhong Ning to freeze in place for a moment:

"The language of roses is love at first sight..."

"Hehe..." Zhong Ning smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

She looked at Gu Mingzhe, her eyes clear: "Mr. Gu, if I remember correctly, when we first met, you gave me a faint glance, with no impression at all, and didn't even shake hands with me..."

"I didn't really look at you at that time... It was only that time in the hospital that I really saw what you looked like..." Gu Xiu stepped forward and wanted to hold Zhong Ning's hand.

Zhong Ning took a step back and said coldly, "Mr. Gu, thank you for taking me home. I'm very tired. Please leave!"

"You don't believe me?" Gu Xiu's eyes were filled with hurt. "Or are you still in love with that man, so you won't accept me?"

"It has nothing to do with others, Mr. Gu. You are a business elite, and I am just an ordinary worker. You come from a wealthy family, and I come from an ordinary family. We are not a good match, and we should have been two parallel lines that did not intersect."

"Even if we meet by chance, we should separate in time!"

"Mr. Gu wanted a business marriage, but then he turned around and said he fell in love with me at first sight."

"What do you take me for? Your secret lover?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a very noble person and I can't do things like interfering in other people's marriages, so please stay away from me in the future, Mr. Gu."

Zhong Ning took a step back, his expression filled with alienation and vigilance.

Gu Xiu felt a pang in his heart and instinctively defended himself:

"At that time, because I didn't have anyone I loved, marriage was just a transaction for me... But now it's different... I really..."

"No need!" Zhong Ning interrupted coldly, "You are a businessman. Weighing the pros and cons is your nature. I don't need your sympathy, let alone your extra love."

"Please get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
