Chapter 40: Gu Changqing, We Don't Have To Be Like This

iang Lan said very firmly: "For this week, I worked overtime for a whole week, and sometimes Jiang Shen was sleeping on my legs."Huo Jiao's heart was filled with a bittersweet feeling, indescribable.B...Wen Man remained silent.

Gu Changqing looked at her quietly for a while, put down his wine glass and got up: "Let's eat!"

Wen Man's expression was cold. "Gu Changqing, you don't need to do this."

She said that, Gu Changqing lightly smiled.

He walked before her, gently pinching her delicate chin, and murmured, "That's right! We truly needn't be like this, after all, you now see me as a ferocious beast! ... Wen Man, do you hate me so much"

Wen Man stood straight, she wouldn't allow herself to cry.

For someone like Gu Changqing, it's not worth it.

She looked at him softly and said, "I love you, hate you, it all changes nothing."

“Why not love me At least you'd feel a little better, wouldn't you” Gu Changqing gently caressed her cheek, finding it unexpectedly delightful.

He had women around him, and a beautiful fiancée.

But Wen Man was different. She was the piece of meat he had endured for four years without daring to eat. Now, he just wanted to swallow her whole, devour her completely!

Gu Changqing leaned against Wen Man's face, his voice laced with temptation, "Why don't we discuss the terms now You stay here overnight tonight"

Wen Man's eyes turned red.

She said in a calm voice, “I have to go home tonight! And...Gu Changqing, if you want me to stay with you, then you’ll have to wait until my dad and Aunt Ruan leave the city safely. Otherwise, there's no talking about it.”

Gu Changqing took a step back and sized her up.

He chuckled softly, “When did you become so sharp-tongued”

He was in such a good mood today that he made an exception and agreed: "Alright! I'll do what you say! As long as you promise to stay with me, I'll let Uncle Wen and Aunt Ruan leave the city! I'll return everything that belongs to the Wen family!"

Wen Man quietly let out a breath of relief.

Gu Changqing suddenly hugged her slender waist, resting his chin on her thin shoulder, and said very gently: "I bought a villa in the suburbs for you. When I'm free, I'll accompany you, hmm"

Wen Man's tone was still cold and distant, but her attitude wasn't as sharp as before.

Gu Changqing intentionally pleased her, leaning close to her ear and saying softly, "Shall we have another child Wen Man, I want a little girl who is as obedient as you."

Wen Man was disgusted!

Bai Wei was right, Gu Changqing is schizophrenic! Otherwise, how could he commit all those bad deeds and then put on a show of deep affection

Wen Man loathed him, her body stiff with resistance.

How could Gu Changqing not know

He let out a sneer, not caring much.

Anyway, the person is in his hands. He can slowly train him later! Wen Man is very pure, like a blank sheet of paper, and he wants to write his name, Gu Changqing, all over it.

……

Wen Man didn't stay long.

When leaving, Gu Changqing personally escorted her to the villa gate.

Wen Man now held a set of villa keys in her hand.

"I'll withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow! Your father and Aunt Ruan will be fine!" Gu Changqing smiled faintly, "Wen Man, I don't want to wait too long, don't disappoint me, okay"

A light fixture in the entryway of a villa.

Wen Man's eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, she said softly, "Gu Changqing, when have I ever disappointed you"

Having said that, she looked up at him.

Once filled with gentleness and affection, their eyes now held only resentment, devoid of the former joy.

Gu Changqing didn't really want to look.

He wanted to drive Wen Man back, but Wen Man refused.

"It's raining, won't let me do you a favor" he teased her.

Wen Man lowered her head and smiled faintly: "Gu Changqing, I told you we don't need to be like this." After that, she pushed her away and stepped into the night, where the rain fell like silk.

Gu Changqing's hand was empty.

He watched Wen Man's back, written all over with refusal... He suddenly had a premonition that no matter what means he used to keep Wen Man by his side, her heart wasn't on him anymore.

Gu Changqing did not lose heart for too long.

He firmly believed that Wen Man was attracted to him only because of a man's desire for conquest. He had never loved her.

Never!!!ing was still working in the study. Her voice was soft: "I'll be back before half past ten."The commonplace words caused Huo Shaoting to let out a soft sigh.It's really different having one more perso...
