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

Chapter 39

I glanced at Song Yuan's shifty eyes, chuckled, and took the elevator upstairs. The moment the elevator doors closed, Song Yuan rushed in.

"Zhou Nanzhi, who is this dress for?"

Hearing the anxiety and accusation in Song Yuan's tone, I glanced at her sideways and replied unhurriedly, "What's it to you?"

"you……"

Before Qiao Weiwei could come in, the elevator had already moved up.

I ignored Song Yuan and went straight out when the elevator doors opened. Song Yuan followed me out.

I stopped and looked at her impatiently, my tone cold: "If you keep following me like this, I'll suspect you have ulterior motives."

"I……"

Song Yuan pursed her lips, her face paled, and she gripped the strap of her bag tightly, unsure of what to say.

"Don't follow me, or don't blame me for getting my hands on you."

I watched her pretend, then turned and left. But as soon as I got to the door, I realized I'd forgotten my key card.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, Qiao Weiwei came out of the elevator and rushed straight to me. Song Yuan also reacted and quickly walked over.

"Zhou Nanzhi, this is the hotel's best luxury suite. How do you have the money to stay here?"

“Yuanyuan, see how right I am? She’s being kept by a rich old man. Otherwise, given her usual standard of living, how could she possibly stay in such a high-end hotel? And this hotel belongs to your Song family.”

Qiao Weiwei's noisy voice was filled with hostility.

“Zhou Nanzhi, you’ve disappointed us too much. Even though your brother Jin Huai doesn’t like you, you shouldn’t be so depraved. You can find someone of equal social standing and live out the rest of your life in peace. If you want, I can introduce you to someone. Don’t do this…”

Song Yuan's words came to an abrupt halt with the sound of the door opening. Gu Jinhuai, wearing my coat, looked at me standing in the doorway, his brows slightly furrowed: "Why don't you come in?"

Gu Jinhuai's cold voice rang out, and the two people at the door froze.

Song Yuan's expression was priceless; in the end, she pushed me out and looked at the man who opened the door.

"Brother Jinhuai, what are you doing here?"

Song Yuan looked surprised. Last night, she sent the person back and left, but this morning she learned from her assistant that Gu Jinhuai had driven to Lincheng overnight. She rushed over so early to find him.

I never expected that he would be with Zhou Nanzhi.

Song Yuan's gaze fell on him, looking at his exposed legs, and seeing Zhou Nanzhi's clothes draped over his body. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Brother Jinhuai, you can't do this to me, I..."

As Song Yuan spoke, she suddenly clutched her chest, her face contorted in pain.

Seeing this, Qiao Weiwei supported Song Yuan in a panic, glaring at me fiercely: "Zhou Nanzhi, look what you've done! Can't you stay away from them? Why do you have to come here and become a mistress, ruining other people's relationship?"

"If you're sick, see a doctor immediately; don't die here."

In my past life, with Gu Jinhuai's care and love, I never saw Song Yuan get sick. Now she's putting on this show for me, how ridiculous.

I glanced at Gu Jinhuai's furrowed brows, a hint of concern in his eyes, but my heart remained cold. I threw the clothes at him, my tone no better: "Put on your clothes, take your men, and get out of here."

I didn't want to stay in the hotel for another minute. Just as I was about to leave, my wrist was suddenly grabbed. Gu Jinhuai pulled me inside and then slammed the door shut.

They kept Song Yuan and Qiao Weiwei out of the room.

"Let me go!"

I struggled, and finally, in a fit of anger, I raised my hand and slapped him across the face.

The air fell silent instantly. I was stunned. I met his deep eyes and sensed his approaching footsteps. I instinctively stepped back, my back hitting the door. Watching him get closer, I finally closed my eyes tightly.

Suddenly, the man's breath drew near, his gaze fixed on my curled eyelashes, his warm breath tickling my ear with a hint of pleasure: "What are you afraid of? Afraid I'll beat you up?"

I didn't make a sound or open my eyes until I felt his breath hot on my cheek. I subconsciously opened my eyes and saw his handsome face magnified in front of me.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason, my breathing became shallow, and my voice unconsciously lowered: "What are you doing?"

"I want to kiss you."

Before I could even react, Gu Jinhuai had finished speaking and kissed me directly.

I stared at him in astonishment. When I realized what was happening, I tried to push him away, but Gu Jinhuai seemed to know what I was going to do next. He took a step back and kept his distance from me.

I glared at him fiercely, and just as I raised my hand to wipe it, I heard the man's cold voice: "You dare to wipe one and see what happens."

The man's threat was clear. I stopped, and finally uttered only two words: "Madman."

"Even madmen have hearts and can love."

Gu Jinhuai blocked my way, staring at me with a deep gaze, his eyes carrying an expression I couldn't understand.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

I patiently waited, truly baffled as to why the man who had avoided me like the plague in my past life was now clinging to me like a leech in this one. Was it some kind of punishment from God?

"You're mine. I can do whatever I want to you?"

Gu Jinhuai calmly toyed with my hair, his voice unhurried, the last syllable rising in a suggestive tone.

"You only gave my dad 1.5 million, I'm giving it back to you now. I'm not a commodity, I can't be threatened by you, and I won't let you manipulate me."

"Gu Jinhuai, if you're seeking revenge on me because I relentlessly pursued you in high school, then fine, you've done it now. I... um..."

Before I could finish speaking, the man pinned me against the door and kissed me passionately, biting and nibbling until his mouth was filled with the taste of rust.

"Zhou Nanzhi, no matter what you think, in this life, you can only be mine. You provoked me, and don't even think about getting away unscathed."

Gu Jinhuai held my hands and placed them above my head, his cold eyes filled with predatory intent, as if he wanted to see right through me.

"You are shameless."

I gritted my teeth, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Gu Jinhuai buried his face in my neck, suppressing the look in his eyes: "Yes, I'm shameless, I only love you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinhuai opened his mouth and bit me hard on the neck, and I cried out in pain.

The man tormented me for a long time before letting go. Without hesitation, I slapped him, but Gu Jinhuai easily grabbed my wrist: "Still want to hit me?"

"Let go."

"Looks like I haven't used up all my strength yet."

Instinctively, my feet left the ground as he swept me up in his arms and threw me onto the bed. The soft bed sank in, and before I could get up, Gu Jinhuai's tall body pressed down on me.

"What are you going to do?"

I stared at him in horror; the coat he was wearing had fallen to the ground sometime earlier.

His upper body was exposed to the air, while his lower body was loosely tied with a bath towel, threatening to fall off. I was terrified that he might do something even more outrageous, and my face was deathly pale.

"Zhou Nanzhi, if you become mine, perhaps you won't have any other thoughts. Why don't we just make it a fait accompli now?"

At that moment, I saw his dark eyes filled with a fierce rage, as if he wanted to devour me bit by bit. I was afraid and wanted to escape, but the man didn't give me a chance at all.

"Gu Jinhuai, if you dare to do this, I will hate you for the rest of my life."

My eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down my face. I closed them tightly and stopped resisting.

After a long while, Gu Jinhuai did not move, but just stared at me quietly.

Why...don't you like me?

Afterwards, Gu Jinhuai got up, put on his clothes, and left. I listened to the sound of the door closing, and lay quietly on the bed. Tears fell like pearls, one by one, until they soaked a large area of ​​the bed sheet.

Time flies, and for a while afterward, I lived a very peaceful life.

When Fu Yiran learned that I wanted to rent a house, he immediately contacted me.

“This room is 100 square meters. It belongs to my roommate. He is studying abroad, so the room is empty. I have already told him. You can stay here without worry.”

In the end, with my insistence, I still paid rent every month, a thousand a month, which wasn't expensive.

The weather gradually turned cold, and the semester passed just like that. Gu Jinhuai never appeared again.

"The New Year is almost here, Zhizhi, aren't you going home?"

Watching the college students leave with their suitcases made me feel an unprecedented sense of loneliness.

This world is so big, yet there is no place for me.

As I listened to Su Qi's voice on the other end of the phone, I realized that my family matters were neither something my friend had told me nor something I needed to discuss.

I looked away, pulled my coat tighter around myself, and replied, "Yeah, it's not time yet. I recently found a job, and I might go back at the end of the year."

I chatted with Su Qi for a few minutes, then hung up the phone and went straight to the pet store.

This is a job I found not long ago, and thanks to Fu Yiran, the owner of this pet shop has some connection with him, though I don't know the specifics.

"You came."

The owner is a kind-hearted middle-aged woman with a daughter who seems skillful and intelligent.

"Aunt Hui, I'm here."

I smiled sweetly. During our time together, I felt a deep maternal love from Aunt Hui.
