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

Chapter

"Gu Jinhuai, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

I recoiled in frustration, but he cupped my face so gently, as if holding a priceless treasure. But I knew it was all an illusion.

Whenever Song Yuan appears, everything is like a shattered mirror, unbearable and impossible to repair.

Just now, Song Yuan's phone rang. I glanced at it but didn't say anything.

The next moment, unexpectedly, Gu Jinhuai did not answer the phone, but instead turned it off.

"Zhou Nanzhi, I like you."

Gu Jinhuai's words were like a thunderclap, leaving me stunned for a long time.

Looking at his serious expression, I could only picture him ruthlessly abandoning me time and time again.

"Gu Jinhuai, your affection is too cheap, I don't like it."

I dodged his hand, pushed open the car door, and was about to get out when someone grabbed my wrist.

"You have no choice. If you like someone, you have to take responsibility. Besides, your parents have already agreed. From now on, you are mine."

Gu Jinhuai's face was cold, revealing no other emotion, his dark eyes fixed on me.

"What do you mean?"

I had a bad feeling in my heart.

The next moment, Gu Jinhuai took out the contract. I quickly flipped through it, and by the end, my hands were trembling with anger.

My dear parents actually sold me to Gu Jinhuai for 500,000 yuan.

I desperately wanted to escape, and after finally making it to the college entrance exam, I thought I would rise to the occasion, but now I'm being dragged into the mire.

Everything I had done before had become a joke. Before I could even grieve, Gu Jinhuai's voice rang out again: "Zhou Nanzhi, this is a reminder. Zhang Ji's matter is over."

A chill ran down my spine. He knew about Zhang Ji's affair from the very beginning, yet he let me act like a fool in front of him.

At that moment, I suddenly realized how terrifying Gu Jinhuai was.

I don't want to live my life according to the same path I took in my past life.

"I said I'm not going to Imperial University. If you force me, you can expect to be collecting my corpse. 500,000 for a dead person? According to you businessmen, that's a huge loss."

I revealed my final trump card with a sarcastic tone: my life. I don't know if it counts as a trump card, since in Gu Jinhuai's eyes, I've always been dispensable.

"you dare."

To my surprise, Gu Jinhuai was so angry that he spoke through gritted teeth.

He grabbed my chin, his eyes blazing with anger.

I winced in pain, stared at him, and said stubbornly, "It's my own life, and I'll make my own decisions. I'm going to Lincheng Medical University. If you dare to stop me, I have a thousand ways to make you pay."

"You should know how difficult my two family members are. If they find out I'm dead and they won't get any benefits, they'll do anything."

I refused to budge an inch and remained resolute.

"I can take care of them first. As for you, with me here, it won't be so easy for you to die."

Gu Jinhuai was truly enraged this time, exuding the aura of a superior. He gripped my chin, increasing the pressure with displeasure.

"is it?"

I smiled at him, pressed an acupoint on his arm, and while his wrist was numb and painful, I pushed open the door and jumped down.

The car was still moving, but I ignored the cars flowing around me and jumped decisively.

The driver, his words evasive, sensed the cold air inside the car and stammered, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I..."

Gu Jinhuai's face was frighteningly dark as he coldly looked at the driver and said, "Get out."

"Mr. Gu, I'm Miss Song's person, you can't do this..."

"It seems you haven't realized your place yet."

Gu Jinhuai was annoyed. His cold gaze seemed to cut the driver's face like a knife. Then he jumped out of the car and ran back.

I sprained my ankle after jumping off the car. Looking at the endless stream of cars, I really wished my life could just end like this.

But then I thought, since God has given me this opportunity, I should live well and avoid having a relationship with Gu Jinhuai in advance.

I kept running in the opposite direction, eager to hail a taxi, but there were very few taxis on the highway. Before long, Gu Jinhuai caught up with me.

I think I saw a wolf. I tried to escape, dragging my limping leg, but I was caught.

I resignedly closed my eyes, but the expected angry curses did not come. Instead, my feet left the ground as he picked me up.

"Just this once, I'll consider what you say."

After a while, Gu Jinhuai's deep voice sounded, and he gently placed me in the car. As the car drove, I closed my eyes and eventually fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital. Just as I was about to move, I found that my right hand was wrapped in an iron ring, with the other end fixed to the headboard.

I glanced at it and forced a sarcastic smile.

"This is for your own good. Get proper treatment at the hospital."

Gu Jinhuai sat on the sofa, holding an apple and peeling it.

I stared at his slender fingers for a moment, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed a faint bite mark on the web of his thumb. It's been several days already, why is it still there?

Gu Jinhuai noticed my gaze, subconsciously glanced at his own hand, and said nonchalantly, "That disobedient little cat bit too hard."

As Gu Jinnian spoke, he gave me a meaningful look.

Seeing the mockery in his eyes, I looked away and said coldly, "Gu, you've chosen the wrong person to show off your love. Song Yuan and I are sworn enemies."

Gu Jinhuai seemed to be provoked by my words, and he walked towards me with the apple in his hand.

I looked up at him, instinctively wanting to back away, but the man was quick. His broad hand gripped mine, trapping me in his arms, and he pressed his thumb against my lips, his tone exasperated: "Don't you know who bit you? Want to bite me again and see if the teeth marks match?"

I looked at the hand pressing against my lips, and with anger already rising in my heart, I obediently opened my mouth and bit down hard with all my might.

The man didn't say anything, he just stared at me quietly.

Finally, I tasted the rust, and when I looked down, I found that I had bitten him and was bleeding. I immediately pulled my teeth back, shrank my neck, and dared not look at him: "You made me bite you, it's not my fault."

"Ah."

Gu Jinhuai wasn't angry; he simply gave a soft "hmm."

I looked up in surprise and found him gazing at me with tender affection.

I looked at him like he was a monster, my face full of vigilance: "Gu Jinghuai, if you're angry, bite back, and we'll be even."

I rolled up my sleeves, revealing my soft, white arms, as white as milk, in front of him.

I closed my eyes, and the next moment, I felt his gentle breath on my arm, a warm sensation spreading across my arm. I opened my eyes and saw his lips descend upon me.

I was shocked and instinctively tried to pull my hand back, but Gu Jinhuai stopped me.

"It's impossible to even things out; your traces are still there."

Gu Jinhuai proudly waved the clearly visible teeth marks on my face and stuffed a peeled apple directly into my mouth.

"Eat quickly, you're as skinny as a monkey."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he sat back on the sofa, looking languidly and playing with his phone.

I took the apple out of my mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, and then started eating it. A few minutes later, I finished the apple.

Gu Jinhuai stayed in the ward all day, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Where are you going?"

The moment my feet touched the ground, Gu Jinhuai's soft voice came from behind me.

"I'm going to the toilet."

I rolled my eyes at him and shook the iron chain on my wrist, my meaning clear.
