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

Chapter 77

The man seemed to sense my unease and subconsciously reached out to gently pat the top of my head. His tone softened, but his expression was so serious that it gave me the wrong impression: "Because I like you."

After a long while, my head suddenly went blank, and I lost the ability to resist.

Bored on the plane, I subconsciously leaned against the corner, ready to close my eyes and rest. In my blurry vision, I seemed to hear Gu Jinhuai's voice.

"I'm tired. It was my fault last night."

As I listened to him, I thought to myself, "So pretentious," and eventually fell asleep.

But when I woke up, I found myself lying on a large, soft bed.

I instinctively sat up, and just then, several servants came in, speaking respectfully: "Miss Zhou, this is the dinner that the master asked us to prepare for you."

I stared blankly as the servants laid out the exquisite dinner on the table one by one.

As I watched them prepare to leave, I cleared my throat and asked, "Um, are we still on the plane?"

"Yes."

The maid responded with a smile.

Even in my past life, I never received such good treatment; for a moment, I thought I was dreaming.

Just then, a deep voice came from behind: "Were you satisfied with dinner?"

As I watched the figure gradually approaching me, I finally focused my gaze on the dining table. Just as I was about to answer, Gu Jinhuai bent down, picked me up, and gently placed me on the chair.

"Eat."

Gu Jinhuai rested his chin on one hand, his gaze fixed intently on me.

I felt uncomfortable being stared at, so I looked Gu Jinhuai up and down and blurted out, "Gu Jinhuai, are you crazy?!"

Instantly, Gu Jinhuai's face darkened, but he still coldly ladled a bowl of porridge for me, pushed it in front of me, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not sick. This is bird's nest porridge. Drink more; it's good for your health."

I noticed his gaze sweeping over me, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

I was instantly furious, glared back, and blurted out without thinking, "If you dislike it so much, then don't use it last night. I'm not a rich heiress, my body is definitely not as good as Song Yuan's— um..."

Before I could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai pressed his lips tightly against mine.

The man's kiss was fierce and savage, ending with a heavy bite on my lip as if as punishment. His tone was serious: "I've only ever seen you kiss me. Although your skin is a bit rough, the experience was quite good. Take better care of it later."

As I listened to his blunt words, my cheeks flushed, and I pushed him away, muttering "scoundrel" under my breath before lowering my head to eat.

I didn't eat this morning, and it's already 3 pm, I'm starving.

Gu Jinhuai sat quietly to the side, watching me eat, a smile on his face that I couldn't understand.

I thought to myself: Is it so funny that I'm just having a meal?

"Stop laughing, your smile looks cunning."

Looking at the smile on his lips, I sighed inwardly. No wonder he captivated me. But it's not entirely my fault. Although a man can look cold when he's not smiling, he's already quite charming. Now that he's smiling, he could charm a whole bunch of women.

Instantly, as soon as I finished speaking, Gu Jinhuai's face loomed large in front of me. The man's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was low and husky, carrying a hint of threat: "What did you just say?"

I calmly swallowed the food in my mouth and subconsciously tried to back away, but the man grabbed my waist first, preventing me from moving.

"Dare you repeat what you just said?!"

The man's voice was hoarse.

Anyone who says it again is an idiot.

"Don't dare."

If I can't win, I have to admit defeat; that's my motto for survival.

Gu Jinhuai was amused and chuckled softly, ruffling my hair as he said, "Let's eat."

That evening, after the plane landed, I needed to go to the restroom.

Gu Jinhuai said bluntly, "Your luggage is still here. Even if you don't want your luggage, your documents are in my hands. If you want to run away, you'd better hurry up."

"Are you sick? I'm going to the toilet. You watch my things for me."

I glanced at him and went straight to the restroom.

As soon as I came out, I saw Gu Jinhuai answering a phone call, while his other hand was holding my suitcase.

Noticing my gaze, Gu Jinhuai looked over and waved to me with one hand.

I glanced at him, feeling annoyed. I'm not some nobody, but my things were still in his hands, so I walked over anyway.

As soon as I walked over, I heard Song Yuan crying on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Jinhuai, I'm leaving the country today, why didn't you come to see me off?"

Listening to the complaints on the other end of the phone, I felt a strange sense of joy.

If Song Yuan knew that the person she longed for was now abroad sending her to school, wouldn't she be furious?

"Song Yuan, some things should be left unsaid. You know very well what our relationship is like."

As he spoke his last words, Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on me.

I looked away and tried to take the box from him, but the man refused, hung up the phone, and tossed it to me.

"Hold it for me."

I hurriedly grabbed his phone and followed him out of the airport.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the deep voice of the man above me: "Look if you want, I'm very generous."

As I listened to his words, I raised an eyebrow, a look of confusion flashing in my eyes.

I glanced at the phone in my hand, then shoved it into his pocket, clapped my hands as if I'd just taken something dirty, and said with disgust, "You're overthinking it. I don't have a penchant for spying on other people's privacy."

"I'm not just anyone."

Gu Jinhuai glanced at his phone in his pocket, moved closer to me, and gently bumped me with his shoulder, speaking softly.

Looking at Gu Jinhuai in front of me, I felt that he was a complete stranger, not at all like the arrogant and aloof person I knew in my past life.

I couldn't help but shudder and retorted, "Gu Jinhuai, if you don't have water, then pee, go take a good piss and see what kind of face you have now."

I snatched the suitcase and bag from his hand and strode outside.

My words were already quite harsh, but Gu Jinhuai acted as if nothing had happened, catching up with me in just a few steps and dodging the suitcase.

"It's not good to get angry all the time at such a young age; it can easily cause wrinkles."

I watched as my suitcase was easily taken away, and said impatiently, "Gu Jinhuai, if you've been possessed, just nod, and I'll call the police for you."

"Can't you hope for me to be better?"

Gu Jinhuai's lips twitched slightly. He grabbed my suitcase with one hand and held my wrist tightly with the other, saying irritably.

"Thank you for sending me abroad. I'll transfer the money to you."

"I'll take you abroad, and it'll be free of charge. Also, add me back."

Gu Jinhuai narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with anger.

I just realized that I hadn't seen him for years, and I had deleted him from my contacts long ago because he would always try to get my attention.

Even though the person isn't online, they keep sending me messages to bother me. I found it annoying, so I just blocked them.

He added me many times later, always threatening me, but he never showed up. I thought he was busy and would forget about me, so I didn't pay attention and just ignored him.

I thought that after leaving the country today, we would never meet again, but I never expected that we would have sex last night.

Just as I was lost in thought, Gu Jinhuai had already pulled me into the car.

By the time I realized what was happening and was about to get out of the car, Gu Jinhuai had already locked the doors.

"Someone as slow to react as you would be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money. Is being with me so comfortable that you can't even think about other things?"

Gu Jinhuai suddenly moved closer, and I instinctively closed my eyes, saying sternly, "Don't get so close to me, stay away from me."

Immediately afterwards, I felt a tightness in front of me, and above my head came a deep, pleasant male voice: "What are you thinking about? It's just fastening your seatbelt."

I belatedly opened my eyes, looked at the fastened seatbelt, my cheeks inexplicably flushed, and I felt embarrassed, not daring to look him in the eye again.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Gu Jinhuai asked.

"I'm not a pig. I just ate on the plane. I'm not hungry. Just take me to the Starry Hotel."

Afraid he wouldn't agree, I continued, "I've booked a room."

"Zhizhi is so diligent; she booked the room so early."

I rolled my eyes at him as he deliberately misinterpreted my meaning, and explained with a smile, "Sorry, I only booked my own place. You'll have to figure out where you sleep yourself."

"You really are heartless, but I'll still give you a friendly reminder: the hotel you booked is my arch-rival's. I'm sorry, you can't go now. If I were you, I would cancel the booking right now and get some money back. If you wait a few more minutes, you'll lose everything."

"What business is it of your nemesis to me? Send me there."

I held my phone, turned to face him, and spoke urgently.

"I'm driving, you're just a passenger. You think you can boss me around? Dream on!"

Looking at his smug face, I felt a surge of anger, but in the end, I bowed to the money and pressed the unsubscribe button.

It's a pity that only half of the money was refunded.

Soon, Gu Jinhuai took me to a five-star hotel, where the hotel staff were very friendly.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"One room."

Gu Jinhuai took out my ID card in front of me and handed it to the receptionist.
