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

Chapter 75

The private room was dimly lit, filled with a decadent atmosphere. Many people wore various masks and were accompanied by female companions dressed in all sorts of alluring and revealing outfits.

I subconsciously glanced down at my clothes, which were considered conservative for this area.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man holding a woman in his arms, kissing her passionately. Noticing my gaze, he instinctively released his companion and waved to me.

I subconsciously looked away and glanced at Song Yuzhou. This was a place exclusively for the wealthy to have fun.

"You can tell cards, really?"

Song Yuzhou noticed my gaze, leaned close to my ear, and whispered.

"I can let you win tonight."

This is also a way of repaying his kindness tonight. After all, I know how terrifying Song Yuan can be when she goes crazy.

"That's amazing! Show off your academic prowess."

Song Yuzhou chuckled and pulled me to sit in the booth.

"Young Master Song actually comes to a place like this? Can't you keep a good patron like you in the capital?"

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from afar. I felt it was somewhat familiar, and subconsciously followed the sound with my eyes. I discovered that the speaker was the doctor who had treated me a while ago, Weiss.

My pupils contracted, and I subconsciously looked away. I realized that I was wearing a mask, so he probably wouldn't recognize me. Besides, we had only met once, and with so many patients every day, he couldn't possibly remember me.

Thinking about all this, I felt a little relieved.

"Of course, it's because there are people I care about here."

While I was distracted, Song Yuzhou put his arm around my waist and sat me down in the booth.

"let's start."

Song Yuzhou gently patted the back of my hand to reassure me.

I calmed myself down and focused on being a helpful assistant, starting to arrange and deal the cards. Each time they dropped a card, I could easily calculate the remaining cards in everyone's hands, which was not difficult for me.

Song Yuzhou and I worked together flawlessly throughout the night, while Weiss lost quite a few games.

Late at night, with the moon high in the sky and darkness enveloping everything, Song Yuzhou made a steady profit, his face still bearing that same smiling expression, making him impossible to read.

However, to wealthy people like them, I am just a tool, to be moved wherever needed, and they don't bother to guess what I'm thinking.

Just as I was about to leave, the door to the private room suddenly opened. Everyone looked over and saw that Gu Jinhuai was wearing a black trench coat. He looked travel-worn, but his hair was perfectly styled.

The dark hair in front of my eyes couldn't hide the sharpness in them. The moment he swept his gaze over me, I hurriedly looked away, not daring to look any longer.

They clasped hands tightly, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible, hoping only that the night would pass peacefully and that they would not be discovered.

"Young Master Gu is here."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and instantly everyone stood up, bowing respectfully to greet them, except for me and Song Yuzhou, who remained seated.

Therefore, the two of us stood out. I was startled and was about to pull Song Yuzhou up when Gu Jinhuai's gaze swept over us.

When they looked at me, my breath stopped and my heart was pounding.

Song Yuzhou seemed to sense my nervousness and subconsciously patted my head to comfort me.

I took a deep breath.

"Everyone sit down."

Gu Jinhuai walked in, asked everyone to sit down, then looked around, and finally walked over to me. To everyone's surprise, he sat down next to me.

Instantly, I was enveloped in a cool breeze, and the faint scent of mint wafted into my nostrils, clearing my muddled mind.

My breathing became shallow involuntarily, and I sat stiffly, motionless, afraid that Gu Jinhuai would pay too much attention to me.

"Gu, your clothes..."

Svi's words drew everyone's attention to Gu Jinhuai. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the clothes he was wearing were the ones I had ruined in the wash. They were covered in lint and looked cheap, but because of the man's natural aura, they didn't lower his class.

"It was scratched by a kitten, and there's fur all over it."

Gu Jinhuai smiled and flicked off non-existent dust from his clothes. His tone was unhurried, and he didn't seem to care that he was wearing cheap clothes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your little cat is really disobedient. Why don't you give it to me and I'll teach it a lesson for you."

Weiss's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and his eyes seemed to sweep over me out of the corner of his eye.

I instinctively became more nervous, and whispered in Song Yuzhou's ear that I wanted to go home.

But I didn't realize that as I spoke, I was standing very close to Song Yuzhou, and Gu Jinhuai's face darkened, his eyes gradually becoming sharp as he stared directly at me. I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar.

The next moment, Song Yuzhou pulled me up, a half-smile on his lips, and said in a gentle voice, "It's getting late, my female companion needs to rest, so we won't disturb you any longer."

As Song Yuzhou was saying this, he tried to pull me away, but Siwei, who was standing next to him, stood up and stopped him, dissatisfied: "You're just going to leave after making money? Young Master Song should at least wait for me to recoup my losses."

"We'll find time next time; my girlfriend has school tomorrow."

Song Yuzhou showed no embarrassment, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and tried to pull me out, but Weiss wouldn't budge.

In an instant, the atmosphere froze to the extreme. I felt a chill rise in my palms, and my heart was in my throat.

"Let them go."

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai, who had been silent all along, spoke up without even glancing at us.

I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and followed Song Yuzhou out of the private room with my head down.

Even after I closed the door, I could still feel that sharp gaze behind me.

"Gu, how could you just let him go like that? He stole your man."

As soon as the door to the private room closed, Siwei leaned close to Gu Jinhuai and spoke in a low voice.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at him and said coldly, "Disobedient kittens should go home and discipline themselves behind closed doors. As for Song Yuzhou, I've never taken him seriously."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he grabbed his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Oh……"

Svi smiled meaningfully.

"Come, drink."

Swie poured him a glass of wine.

"Thank you for today."

Gu Jinhuai clinked glasses with him, his tone sincere.

"What's the big deal? It's mainly because she's good-looking. I always pay attention to pretty people."

Halfway through his sentence, Svi noticed Gu Jinhuai's gaze and quickly said, "But don't worry, I won't touch your people. My heart only belongs to your sister."

"She's already gone abroad. You'd better put away your philandering ways, or if she finds out, I won't be able to help you."

Gu Jinhuai's eyes held a warning.

"Don't worry, my heart is already full of her, there will be no one else."

-

Song Yuzhou took me home, and I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I felt uncertain and thought that this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily tonight.

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard the sound of the door opening in the entryway, followed by the sound of a cup falling to the ground. I instinctively pushed the door open, but before I could even look, someone appeared in front of me, blocking my view.

Before I could speak, the man grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up. His eyes were red-rimmed, and he slurred, "Zhou Nanzhi, do you still like me?"

"You're crazy, go wash up and go to bed."

I frowned in annoyance, smelling the alcohol on him and feeling disgusted. I hate it when men get drunk, and to make matters worse, they come home and cause a scene.

I pushed him away and turned to close the door, but Gu Jinhuai grabbed my hand, pushed the door open, and trapped me in the corner.

"answer me."

Gu Jinhuai's drunken state was frightening, and I dared not say anything too harsh, for fear of upsetting him.

I softened my tone and said, "We'll talk tomorrow when you're sober."

Just as I was about to push him away, the man grabbed the back of my head and murmured, "I don't believe it."

The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed my lips, refusing to let go no matter how hard I struggled.

"Well--"

I was terrified, gripping his collar tightly with both hands. Finally, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his gaze at me darkened, which frightened me.

Just as I was panicking, he picked me up and threw me onto the bed. Before I could sit up, his tall body pressed down on me, leaving me no chance to resist.

I exclaimed, "Gu Jinhuai, what are you doing?"

"Become mine, you can only be mine."

At that moment, the man's eyes were filled with intense possessiveness. He grabbed my hand, roughly tore at my coat with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss me.

No matter how much I struggled, he wouldn't let go.

I gritted my teeth, and finally freed one hand to slap him hard across the face, roaring, "Gu Jinhuai, do you know how despicable you are right now?"

While he was still stunned, I shoved him away and said with disgust, "I don't want to see you again."
