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

Chapter 46

The man's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an irresistible allure.

I shoved him away and said fiercely, "You're dreaming."

I strode out, and behind me I heard slow footsteps. I quickened my pace, and the footsteps behind me quickened as well.

I turned around impatiently and glared at him: "Stop following me. Don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous?"

I didn't want to get involved with him at all, but Gu Jinhuai followed me without saying a word.

I was about to speak when my foot slipped, and I fell backward. I cried out in surprise, "Ah!"

I instinctively closed my eyes, and then instead of the pain of falling to the ground, I fell into a cold embrace.

I opened my tightly closed eyes and met Gu Jinhuai's deep gaze.

I instinctively pulled away from his embrace, feeling a bit embarrassed, but the man remained calm and composed.

His gaze swept over the scarf around my neck, his brow furrowed, and he said indifferently, "Take it off."

"are you crazy!"

I instinctively covered my chest with my clothes and glared at him angrily.

If eyes could breathe fire, Gu Jinhuai would probably have been burned many times over.

Gu Jinhuai spoke indifferently, still sparing with his words: "Hurry up."

"Neuropathy."

I cursed under my breath and was about to leave when Gu Jinhuai ripped the scarf off my neck, and a cold wind instantly rushed into my neck.

I instinctively shrank back, glaring at him angrily. The next second, the man threw the scarf on the ground as if it were trash, his eyes filled with disgust: "It's dirty."

"Don't go too far."

Just as I was about to bend down to pick it up, the man pulled me away.

"Gu Jinhuai, do you know how outrageous you've been?"

I flung my wrist away from his grasp, roared, and looked at him with utter disgust.

"Don't look at me like that. I still prefer Zhou Nanzhi, who has nothing but me in her heart."

My eyes were covered, and everything went black. Listening to Gu Jinhuai's words, I sneered inwardly.

You lost that girl who was so devoted to you long ago.

Before I could react, she grabbed my wrist and led me to the black car parked nearby.

He shoved me into the passenger seat, then sat in the driver's seat himself. The car moved slowly, and I could hear the crunching sound of the tires crushing the snow.

I don't know why he appears in Lincheng every few days, I don't know why he keeps harassing me, and I'm even more puzzled as to why he paid a high price to "buy" me from my parents.

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, and my heart was filled with mixed feelings. The man was wearing a black knee-length cotton coat, with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, and black casual trousers. His bangs were slightly messy, but they couldn't hide his dark and deep eyes, which were cold and ruthless.

"Where are you taking me?"

As I watched the car gradually head towards the highway, I felt inexplicably uneasy.

"go home."

Gu Jinhuai stared straight ahead, his tone still cold.

Back to the capital?

I didn't take anything.

I was about to retort when Gu Jinhuai's voice rang out: "Everything is packed."

Gu Jinhuai pointed to the back seat. I turned around and found that my luggage and bag were on the back seat.

I snapped out of my shock and looked at Gu Jinhuai: "When did you do this? Who gave you permission to make this decision on your own?"

My chest was filled with anger and a sense of injustice. This privileged young man had everything he could want, so why wouldn't he let me go?

My eyes reddened, and tears, uncontrollable, slid down my cheeks.

Gu Jinhuai didn't wait for my reply. He turned his head to look at me with my head down and his tone softened slightly: "It's snowing heavily today, you can't find a car."

Upon hearing this, I remained silent for a moment. After composing myself, I sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Then thank you."

I rolled my eyes at him, tilted my head and leaned against the car window, gazing into the distance. All I could see were bitter tree branches and a vast expanse of white.

Just as I was feeling drowsy and about to fall asleep, a pleasant ringtone woke me up. I was dazed for a moment before I realized what was happening and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, I heard Gu Zi's joyful voice.

"Zhizhi, I'm back in China. When are you coming back? I miss you."

I could hear the eagerness in Gu Zi's voice, and when I glanced at Gu Jinhuai out of the corner of my eye, the man's cold and stern face showed nothing.

I cleared my throat and said, "Today."

"Okay, what time are you arriving? I'll come pick you up."

Hearing Gu Zi's enthusiastic voice and glancing at Gu Jinhuai beside me, I quickly declined, "No need, I took a taxi."

I glanced cautiously at the man beside me, and seeing that he remained unmoved, I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

I'll come to see you in a few days.

Just as I was about to hang up, Gu Jinhuai coughed lightly, whether intentionally or not.

"Zhizhi, I hear a man's voice. Is there a man with you? It's been half a year since I last saw you. Have you been secretly seeing another man behind my back?"

As I listened to Gu Zi's increasingly rambling words, I immediately interrupted, "No, you misheard."

I hurriedly hung up the phone and carefully observed Gu Jinhuai's reaction.

He didn't say a word and drove with a serious expression.

Just as I calmed down, the man suddenly said, "I can't stand being seen by people?"

The car slowly pulled over to the side of the road. Gu Jinhuai unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned closer to me. I gripped the seatbelt tightly, feeling uneasy, and shrank back into the corner.

"What do you want to do? Are you trying to throw me off?"

It's not that I'm scared, but in this heavy snow, if they really left me on the highway, I'd have nowhere to go. Before I could even walk back, I'd freeze into an icicle.

Gu Jinhuai frowned as he looked at my frightened expression. Thinking of what happened last time, his expression hardened and his tone was indifferent: "Open your eyes."

As I listened to his words, I closed my eyes even tighter and said in a trembling voice, "If you throw me down now, you're not human."

Based on my understanding of him, with his bad temper, it's quite common for him to leave me behind.

"you……"

Gu Jinhuai was so angry he didn't know what to say. He finally sat up straight, and then the car door slammed shut. I noticed the presence of him gradually disappearing. I slowly opened my eyes and found Gu Jinhuai had gotten out of the car and was leaning against the door, doing something.

A wicked thought arose in my mind; I really wanted to throw him off. It's a pity I can't drive, otherwise I would have said goodbye to him.

Just as my thoughts were wandering, Gu Jinhuai opened the car door and got in. There was a smell of tobacco in the air. I subconsciously frowned and put my index finger to my nose.

Gu Jinhuai noticed my movement and immediately opened the driver's side window.

A cold wind blew in through the window, and I couldn't help but shiver. The next moment, I heard Gu Jinhuai say two words: "Put them on."

Immediately afterwards, a black down jacket was placed over my head.

I froze for a few seconds, then reached up and pulled at the clothes on my head. It took me a while to finally pull the oversized clothes off.

His hair was also messy, with a few stray strands standing upright on top of his head like Teletubbies.

Gu Jinhuai looked at my expression, his lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I glared at him as I listened to his laughter, then threw the clothes covering me at him and said coldly, "I don't need them."

I instinctively wrapped my cotton-padded coat tighter around myself, wishing I could shrink my head inside.

"quail."

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai uttered two words. I glanced at him but didn't say anything. Then the man leaned closer, his voice low and deep: "You care about me, afraid I'll freeze to death?"

Gu Jinhuai's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"Smug."

I rolled my eyes at him and ignored him. Gradually, I yawned, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

In my dream, I dreamed of my child from my past life again.

"Mo Mo, no... no..."

My voice choked with emotion, but Gu Jinhuai beside me had a dark expression.
