France.

Zhou Jingmo and Ye Sirou were walking side by side on the street. The sycamore leaves were scattered all over the ground. He was distracted and almost ran a red light.

Amid the honking of car horns, Ye Sirou tugged at his arm, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Jingmo hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

He was really abnormal. Ye Sirou took advantage of his absence to secretly send a message to Gu Yanning to complain:

[This is so annoying! I'm already busy, and I still have to squeeze in time for him!]

[He seems distracted. Is he with another woman?]

"That won't do. I'm at a critical juncture in my career right now. He promised me a sponsorship for the dance troupe, and he absolutely can't break his promise at this point."

The message sent fell on deaf ears, and Gu Yanning was too busy to even check his phone.

Ye Sirou was a little worried, so she just called.

It was noon in China, but the curtains in the hotel room were closed, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

There was a buzzing sound on the bed. Chen Ke, with his upper body naked and covered with scratches, fumbled in the quilt for a long time before he found the source of the sound.

He held up his phone, moved closer to Gu Yanning, and whispered, "It's Ye Sirou."

Gu Yanning was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her eyelids. "You answer it."

Chen Ke lowered his eyes, hiding the darkness in them. He held up the phone carefully and said, "You should answer it. I'm afraid I'll say something wrong again."

He repeated the key point again: "It's Ye Sirou."

Gu Yanning opened her eyes and looked at him strangely. His face was full of careful flattery, completely different from his arrogant look just now. She began to wonder if she had really taught him a lesson too harshly.

She sat up, picked up her phone and answered the call.

Ye Sirou asked: "Yan Ning, are you busy? Why don't you reply to the message?"

"Something happened..." Gu Yanning sat up, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ke obediently squeezed behind her and massaged her shoulders and waist. He lowered his head and heard the voice coming from the phone. Ye Sirou was chattering and complaining about Zhou Jingmo's strange behavior.

"My tight performance schedule is already annoying, and now I have to worry about this damn man. It's so annoying!"

"I don't know what he's worried about. He doesn't even look in the mirror. Is he Daniel Wu? He's already so depressed!"

Gu Yanning smiled and said, "It's okay, I think I know why."

"Ok?"

She took Chen Ke's hand off her shoulder, leaned in his arms, adjusted to a comfortable position, squinted her eyes and said, "Zhou Jingmo thinks I love him very much, and now I feel a little guilty."

"He's probably struggling with whether or not to respond to my infatuation."

Ye Sirou roared on the other end: "What the hell does he want!"

There was a knock on the door. It was Zhou Jingmo. Ye Sirou stared at the door with sharp eyes. She said to Gu Yanning, "Don't worry, Yanning. I won't let this scumbag touch you."

"I know," Gu Yanning said sweetly, "Si Rou, you're the best."

Chen Ke was a little shocked after listening to the whole thing. He didn't expect that Gu Yanning and Ye Sirou would get along in this way.

Gu Yanning's perfunctory attitude and purpose were not concealed at all, but Ye Sirou jumped into the pit happily.

Very stupid.

He finally understood that Gu Yanning was holding two ropes in his hands, one tied to him and the other to Ye Sirou, and behind Ye Sirou was another tied to Zhou Jingmo.

He has nothing behind him, he has no power or influence, and he is extremely poor. Gu Yanning is trapping him just because she wants to trap him.

He had it all figured out.

The cell phone slipped from Gu Yanning's hand and fell on the soft big bed. Chen Ke pressed her down, like an enthusiastic puppy, and kissed her face all over.

"What are you crazy about..."

Gu Yanning was almost out of breath and clenched her fists to hit him.

Chen Ke's eyes sparkled, and he smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "I love you, Yan Ning. I really love you."

Gu Yanning: “?”

Forget it, I don’t know why he suddenly went crazy, but it seems that he has returned to his old dog-like behavior.

She raised her hands to hug his neck and gave him a kiss on the face. "Stop making trouble. I'm tired. Go to sleep."

Chen Ke pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them, and hugged Gu Yanning with his warm chest, "Okay, sleep, baby."

A week later, Zhou Jingmo returned to China and Gu Yanning drove to pick him up personally.

The car drove out of the airport. It started raining outside at some point and the rain gradually got heavier. Gu Yanning drove a little further and parked the car on the side of the road.

She said to Zhou Jingmo, "You open it."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jingmo asked.

Gu Yanning: "Have you forgotten? The first time your illegitimate brother hired someone to hit me with a car, glass shards passed under my eye. I didn't feel anything at the time, but in the past month or two, whenever it rains, is cloudy, or at night, my vision becomes blurry."

Zhou Jingmo hurriedly asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"It's not going to get better," Gu Yanning said calmly, "At least I'm not blind, I can still use it."

She sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Zhou Jingmo didn't start the car for a long time. She looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Jingmo looked apologetic.

Gu Yanning smiled: "You feel sorry for me?"

She said lightly and jokingly, "This deal with you is really not worth it. With me now, your brothers, sisters, and stepmother are too lazy to harm you. They all use me as a target."

This sentence is very exaggerated, but Zhou Jingmo doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Gu Yanning did suffer by following him.

It was such an unprofitable deal, but she still stayed with him.

His heart was touched: "Yan Ning..."

Gu Yanning raised her hand to touch her hair, blinked and looked at him, "Hmm?"

"what do you want to say?"

She leaned closer to him, and the scent of her perfume hit him.

Rose.

After a brief moment of confusion, Zhou Jingmo suddenly woke up. He thought of Ye Sirou, and she had the same smell on her body.

During these days in France, Ye Sirou was soft, fragrant, and gentle. He held her in his arms, and his breath was filled with the sweet scent of roses.

"Does it smell good?"

"It tastes the same as your fiancée, right?"

"Zhou Jingmo," Ye Sirou smiled and pinched his ear, saying firmly in a gentle tone, "I like you and Yan Ning, so no matter who you cheat with, it can't be her."

"Otherwise, I will never forgive you."

"forever."

Zhou Jingmo turned his head and put some distance between himself and Gu Yanning.

He held his breath quietly and rolled down the car window. Fine raindrops were blown in by the slanting wind and hit his arms, bringing a cool feeling.

The cold wind blew in, blowing away the annoying fragrance. His restless heart calmed down, and he dared to turn around and look at Gu Yanning.

But she was seen sitting in her seat properly, holding onto her seat belt with her hands, her head lowered, looking lonely and hurt.

Zhou Jingmo felt another pain in his heart.

He felt so sorry for her.

"Yan Ning... don't you like that villa in Yanjiao? Your birthday is coming soon, so I'll give it to you, okay?"

Gu Yanning looked up after a few seconds. She was obviously not in a good mood and forced a smile. "Okay, thank you."

The more she acted like this, the more Zhou Jingmo felt that he owed her.

But she was really understanding. After returning to the Zhou family, the two of them went upstairs together. When they were about to separate in their respective rooms, Gu Yanning stopped him and said, "If you want to compensate me, ask Gu Shaolian for more dowry for me. The betrothal gift from your Zhou family must only be given to me, not to him."

She held the railing tightly with one hand, which was completely different from the calm expression on her face.

"Because I really, really hate him."

They both lost their mother because of their father. Zhou Jingmo thought that no one in the world would understand her better than him.

He looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "Okay."

Gu Yanning let go of the railing and took two steps forward to stand in front of him. She hugged him carefully and slowly, and he did not dodge.

Gu Yanning put her face on his shoulder and said softly, "Thank you."

Zhou Jingmo raised his hand and touched her hair, his heart softened.

He couldn't tell whether this softness was the same as when he faced Ye Sirou, or which one was more serious.

He was immersed in his own thoughts and could not see that Gu Yanning was hiding a smile on her face in his arms.

She sighed in her heart.
