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

Chapter 47

I gasped and opened my eyes, only to find myself still sitting in the car. But for some reason, the temperature inside the car kept dropping.

I wiped away the tears from my eyes and looked over, only to find Gu Jinhuai's dark eyes fixed on me.

Who is Momo?

Gu Jinhuai's voice was cold and clear.

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly looked away, my hand instinctively tightening on the seatbelt. My tone was nonchalant: "It's nothing."

Gu Jinhuai gave me a deep look, said nothing, and parked the car on the side of the road.

I looked at him with suspicion, and then I saw him open the car door, get out, lean against the door, and take out his phone to make a call.

I vaguely heard Gu Jinhuai say that the car had broken down and needed repairs.

I glanced outside and saw it was snowing heavily. If I stayed here overnight, I'd freeze to death.

Soon, Gu Jinhuai opened the car door and got in, his brows furrowed, and looked at me: "The car broke down, we may need to spend the night here, please bear with it."

I stared at Gu Jinhuai for a moment to make sure he wasn't doing it on purpose before I asked, "Do you have any tools in your car?"

"Yes, you know how to fix it?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me in surprise, his tone full of astonishment.

"I know a little, may I take a look?"

I pushed open the door and got out of the car. Gu Jinhuai opened the trunk and took out tools.

I skillfully opened the hood of the car and carefully inspected every part. Gu Jinhuai was quietly observing from the side, occasionally handing me things.

"tweezers."

I looked very serious and finally found the problem.

"It's probably an engine problem."

I fiddled with it for a while longer, and then Gu Jinhuai started the car. Soon, the car was completely undamaged.

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with astonishment, his voice filled with surprise: "When did you learn all this?"

Upon hearing this, I stopped what I was doing and lowered my eyes slightly.

Although she married Gu Jinhuai in her previous life, it was like she had lost her husband. Apart from the monthly living expenses, she was self-sufficient.

In the second year after our marriage, Gu Jinhuai took me to Duyue Manor to make up for our honeymoon, but he had to leave me alone there because of work.

Later, on the way back, the car broke down halfway. I called Gu Jinhuai, but his assistant answered and gave a very simple answer.

Gu Jinhuai was busy and told me to figure it out myself. Luckily, I have a good learning ability. I followed the tutorial and fixed the car step by step.

From then on, I no longer relied on anyone.

I snapped out of my thoughts and said coldly, "A long time ago, it was over."

I clapped my hands, closed the lid, and Gu Jinhuai gave me a complicated look before taking a bottle of water out of the trunk: "Wash your hands."

I reached out my hand and let Gu Jinhuai pour the water into it.

The water was a bit cold, and it quickly turned my fingers red. I quickly washed my hands, shook off the water, and Gu Jinhuai handed me a towel.

"Wipe your hands."

I glanced at the towel in his hand, thanked him, and was about to take it when the man held the other end tightly.

In the moment I was stunned, Gu Jinhuai gently pulled me over.

He slowly and meticulously wiped my hands, which made me panic for a moment.

"I will do it myself."

As I spoke, I tried to snatch the towel from his hand.

"obedient."

Gu Jinhuai's voice was deep, and his well-defined fingers gently held the towel. He held my wrist with one hand and carefully wiped my fingers one by one.

"All right."

Gu Jinhuai pulled me into the car. The car was quiet. He didn't rush to drive. Instead, he took my hands to warm them.

I watched his actions, but I felt nothing at all.

If he had cared for me with such meticulous attention in my past life, would the outcome have been different? I thought to myself.

I hesitated before speaking, "Actually, you don't need to do this. It'll be fine in a little while."

"You just enjoy ruining yourself?"

Gu Jinhuai gave me a cold glance, his expression displeased, and his words were like sharp blades.

I glanced at him indifferently, shook off his hand, and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it. Just take care of your fiancée."

"I've said it so many times, I don't have a fiancée."

Gu Jinhuai frowned, his tone tinged with impatience.

"Whether you are here or not is none of my business. I think we need to keep our distance."

I met his gaze and spoke my mind.

"Zhou Nanzhi".

Gu Jinhuai glared at me through gritted teeth. If his eyes could breathe fire, I would have been burned to a crisp long ago.

I shook off his hand, turned my face away, and refused to look at him anymore, but I could still feel his intense, direct gaze.

After a while, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I actually heard him sigh a long time.

I resisted the urge to turn back. Soon, the car slowly drove along the road. I tilted my head, but I was no longer sleepy.

We arrived in the capital at 1 a.m. After half a year, I looked at the familiar scenery and my mind was filled with many thoughts.

Looking at the gradually familiar surroundings, I said, "This is enough. I'll walk the rest of the way myself."

Gu Jinhuai heard what I said, but he didn't stop the car. Instead, he walked straight past my house.

I turned around and stared at him in surprise, my eyes filled with doubt.

"You don't want to go home."

Gu Jinhuai spoke with certainty, as if he had already guessed my thoughts, and drove directly to the hotel.

Gu Jinhuai got out of the car, took his suitcase from the car, looked at me who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Let's go."

I watched Gu Jinhuai pull his suitcase inside and quickly followed.

“I can take it myself.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Gu Jinhuai threw the bag in his hand at me.

Holding my bag, I watched as Gu Jinhuai effortlessly ascended the VIP elevator. I subconsciously glanced left and right.

At this time of day, there are very few people in the hotel, and given the cold weather, few people go out.

I followed closely behind Gu Jinhuai and quickly slipped into the elevator.

There were only the two of us in the elevator, and my heart couldn't help but pound. I had a strange feeling of having an affair.

The elevator doors opened, and I glanced at them. It was on the top floor, which is usually reserved for presidential suites. I suspected that Gu Jinhuai was trying to trick me.

I hesitated. The elevator doors opened, and the man stepped out first. He looked at me without moving, as if he could read my mind, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "You don't need to spend any money."

I listened to what he said, but something felt off.

Entering the room, I glanced at Gu Jinhuai sitting on the sofa by himself and said, "You should go."

Gu Jinhuai bent his long legs, staring at me intently. After a while, he raised his wrist to check the time and said quietly, "At this hour, the house is closed."

"Then you can stay in a hotel."

I replied with just one sentence.

"This is the last suite. All the others are booked, and all the nearby hotels are closed. Do you want me to sleep on the street?"

As I listened to Gu Jinhuai's words, the corner of my mouth twitched slightly, and my gaze swept over the large bed in the middle: "I'll sleep on the bed, Mr. Gu, please make yourself at home."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me, and in the dim light, I thought I saw him smile: "I booked the hotel in advance, so you should sleep on the sofa."

After listening to Gu Jinhuai's words, I cursed him inwardly for being petty, then grabbed my suitcase, picked out my pajamas, and went to take a shower.

Half an hour later, I came out in my pajamas and found Gu Jinhuai lying on the sofa. The sofa was obviously very big, but when he lay on it, his legs were slightly bent, making it look particularly narrow.

Noticing my gaze, Gu Jinhuai bent one arm behind his head and looked down at me: "Hurry up and go to sleep, or I'll change my mind."

I listened to his words, quickly walked to the bed, and crawled in.

I had just lain down when I heard the man chuckle softly. I met his eyes, and after a few seconds, I closed them.

In my drowsy state, I couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream, but someone kept calling my name.

"Zhizhi, I love you."
