After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 115

However, Gu Jinhuai gave me a deep look, and his words left me at a loss.

"Okay, from now on I'll love you."

Gu Jinhuai's dark eyes revealed his seriousness, and his earnest appearance made him look like an innocent young man.

I just smiled and didn't say anything. I knew he couldn't hold on for long.

Not to mention his family, even his own heart would betray him prematurely.

I didn't say anything, nor did I throw down the leaves. I just placed them on the table and lay down on the bed to rest.

Gu Jinhuai looked at my back and felt lonely, but he also knew that there was no time to rush things.

In my past life, my love was too heavy. I slowly closed my eyes, but tears slid down my cheeks and disappeared on the pillow, leaving ripples.

These past few days, Gu Jinhuai has been by my side every step of the way, and I feel very uncomfortable. Even if I make the slightest movement, Gu Jinhuai, who is busy with work, will immediately notice and look up at me, which makes me extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm all better now, I don't need anyone to take care of me. You're busy with work, so you can..."

I gestured for him to leave, but Gu Jinhuai seemed not to understand. He closed his notebook, stood up, and walked over to me: "I'm not busy. I can stay with you... and take care of you."

In the end, Gu Jinhuai changed his tune, saying that he had hurt her the most in their past life, so what right did he have to stay with her now?

A hint of loneliness and regret flashed across Gu Jinhuai's eyes.

Actually, he never said it, but ever since the accident, he had been lying in the hospital for a long time, in a daze, and had a very long dream, but that dream felt very real to him.

He even witnessed Zhou Nanzhi's ultimate fate. He rushed over in a panic, but still couldn't stop her from committing suicide by poison.

He couldn't understand why the same person could be so different. He clearly liked her, yet he hurt her and pushed her further and further away.

He doesn't want to become like that, losing his wife and children for the sake of others.

“Gu Jinhuai…”

My voice interrupted his thoughts. Gu Jinhuai concealed the extra expression in his eyes, his dark eyes staring straight at me, as if he wanted to engulf me completely.

"what happened to you?"

I instinctively stepped back, feeling that something was off about Gu Jinhuai, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

The next second, I was held tightly in the man's arms.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry."

Gu Jinhuai's voice was hoarse. Although I couldn't see his expression, I felt that there was something else in his words.

My stiff hand remained frozen in mid-air, my mind blank, unsure of how to react.

Just as I was about to push him away, Gu Jinhuai spoke up: "Zhizhi, let me hug you for a while, just a little while."

The man's tone was cautious, and even pleading.

I took a deep breath and pushed him away, my expression cold, and refused his request: "Gu Jinhuai, acting is one thing, it's a condition for my admission, but it's unnecessary for other things."

I stopped looking into his eyes, but the man seemed oblivious and continued to hug me, this time with great force, and I couldn't break free.

"I don't want to act."

Gu Jinhuai's five words stunned me into silence.

Seeing my bewildered expression, Gu Jinhuai put his hands on my shoulders, his expression serious, and repeated what he had just said, word by word: "Zhou Nanzhi, I don't want to act, I want you."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he lowered his head and leaned in to kiss me. My pupils contracted, but he didn't give me a chance to resist at all. He went straight in, holding the back of my head with one hand, and kissed me passionately and sincerely.

"Well……"

I slapped him hard on the back. The man just groaned, but he didn't let go of me. He continued to deepen the kiss until I couldn't breathe, and then he finally let me go.

His expression was sincere, his eyes looked at me with pity, and he gently cupped my face in his hands, as if protecting a porcelain doll, with seriousness and care.

"Zhizhi, I don't want to act."

He said those words three times. Each time he said them, it felt like my heart was struck hard by an iron bell. After three repetitions, my heart gradually cracked open.

"Since you don't want to act, then let's stop here. I won't go back on my promise. After graduation, I will work at a hospital under the Gu Group. As for anything else, we shouldn't have anything more."

I had just pushed him away when Gu Jinhuai stumbled and finally fell to the ground with a thud.

Just hearing the sound was painful, and the otherwise serious atmosphere was inexplicably made more pleasant by his action.

My lips twitched involuntarily, but when I saw the bloodstains on my palm, the smile vanished instantly, and I stared at him in disbelief: "Your injury?"

Logically speaking, his injuries should have healed by now, so why?

Then there's only one possibility: "You didn't apply the medicine?"

My voice unconsciously rose, filled with anger.

"It's alright, you should get some rest."

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me, forced a smile, took a few steps back, put on his coat, and covered the bloodstains on his shirt completely.

Although I didn't see it, I could still tell from the bloodstains on his hands how serious the injury on his back was.

"Why don't you go to the doctor to change the dressing?"

My voice was no longer as anxious as before; it carried a hint of indifference.

"No need."

Gu Jinhuai spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone, took a wet towel from the bathroom, and held my hand in one hand.

Just as I was about to struggle, the man gripped my hand tightly: "Dirty."

As I watched him carefully wipe his fingers clean, my feelings became complicated.

For several days in a row, I had no appetite. Gu Jinhuai thought it was because he was staying here that I had no appetite, and I thought so too. But after he left, my nausea became stronger and stronger, and I had a bad feeling.

Last time, Song Yuzhou lied to me.

But now Gu Jinhuai is keeping a close eye on me, so I can't do the examination here. It would be troublesome if he found out.

I suppressed my shock and wanted to be discharged from the hospital early.

But Gu Jinhuai didn't show up for several days in a row; instead, Madam Gu came.

I watched her, as always, elegant and dignified, striking the pose of a wealthy socialite.

"Zhou Nanzhi, was what you said last time true?"

Madam Gu and I stared at each other for a long time before she finally spoke, just as I was getting impatient.

Before falling into a coma?

It is indeed true.

I smiled at her and said, "How much money are you going to give me this time? Or which country do you want to send me to? Just get straight to the point."

When faced with my bluntness, Madam Gu's face flashed with anger, but she suppressed it after thinking of something.

“The Gu and Song families were originally engaged in a business marriage, but now that Song Yuan has done that, everyone is laughing at the Gu family. I don’t object to you marrying him, but don’t expect any help from the Gu family, including your career after graduation.”

Listening to her words, I sneered and inexplicably felt that being born into such a wealthy family wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"Even now, you're still worried about the Gu family and the Gu Corporation, not that your son has been cuckolded. Mrs. Gu is quite tolerant."

Gu Jinhuai, who had just reached the door, heard this and froze in mid-air with his hand on the doorknob, hesitating to push the door open.

“This is my business. He was born into the Gu family, so he should contribute to the Gu family.”

Madam Gu looked displeased and stared at me with a deep gaze.

"That's true. In your eyes, everything is something to be exchanged, including your own son."

My words undoubtedly ripped off the mask on her face.

I'm not speaking up for Gu Jinhuai, but I really want to see Madam Gu's exasperated state, and how she can't do anything about it.

"Why is Madam Gu so angry? I guessed right."

I spoke in a light tone, but Madam Gu was quite angry with me.

"Zhou Nanzhi, do you believe me or not..."

Madam Gu's words came to an abrupt end.

I sneered and said, "Of course I believe you. Your Gu family is so big and powerful that getting rid of such a small trouble like me would be a piece of cake. You can call the principal and continue to expel me. But those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Anyway, Gu Jinhuai likes me. You're over fifty now. In a few decades, can you guarantee that your body will still be as good as it is now? At that time, you'll be at my mercy."

How could you be so mean!

Madam Gu blushed with anger and it took her a long time to utter this sentence.

That's because people with a good education can't bring themselves to say even the most vulgar things, but I'm different; I'm someone who lives in the gutter.

"Now that you're scared, I advise you to control your temper. A bad temper leads to many problems and will only hasten your demise."

After I finished speaking, Madam Gu, no longer wanting to listen, threw a contract at me and said coldly, "Sign it."

Without even glancing at it, I threw the contract at her and said, "You think you can just sign it because I tell you to? What gives you the nerve?"

"Zhou Nanzhi!"

Madam Gu roared.

Seeing her furious expression made me feel good.
