Chapter 66: 66 A Man’s Feelings_1
They are indeed allured by the youth, energy, and vitality in them.
Afterward, they would give them money and if they are generous, they might buy them houses and cars.
But in Ye Mengyan’s case, Gu Yuanzhou arranged meticulously, even taking care of things like motion sickness pills, first aid kits, and sanitary napkins for her.
This illustrates one thing.
He has never seen her as a mistress.
He loved her.
Deeply loved her.
Thinking of this, my heart still collapsed.
Ye Mengyan, however, seemed oblivious to my grief, still fiddling with her things in her suitcase.
“Hey, some people say men become bad when they have money, but I see Gu Yuanzhou isn’t one of those bad men. Look, he even prepares chocolates for me to eat in the car, as well as my stomach medicine and wet wipes… Shen Yishu is kind to me too, but he isn’t this thoughtful! Shen Yishu’s love is narrow, he thought as long as he has me, that’s it…”
Ye Mengyan sighed.
I forced a bitter smile.
Whether a man loves you or is considerate of you also depends to some extent on his financial status.
If he has no money, he naturally can’t give you what you want.
“So, you say, wouldn’t it be better for me to choose Gu Yuanzhou than Shen Yishu?”
“But, Gu Yuanzhou is more than a decade older than you. With such a large age gap, when you’re still at your prime, he’d already be old. You two might not be able to live together due to different habits.”
“No way! I won’t mind Gu Yuanzhou being older. On the contrary, an older man can give me a sense of security. Being with him, I don’t need to worry about anything, he arranges everything for me.”
Whenever Gu Yuanzhou was mentioned, Ye Mengyan’s face was still filled with a blissful smile, completely resembling a girl deeply in love.
I saw my own past self in her.
Observing my saddened look, Ye Mengyan quickly explained,
“Xiaoyun, Gu Yuanzhou is single now. I like him and want to be with him. Is that too much to ask?”
“Why don’t you wait until the Golden Bay arson case ends before deciding?”
I was reminding her that she might be in love with a culprit who killed his wife and child.
Ye Mengyan shook her head,
“I understand what you mean, but I can assure you that Gu Yuanzhou would never do such a thing. Moreover, at such a time, he needs understanding and trust more than ever, and I will trust and support him unconditionally.”
Her words left me stunned.
I hadn’t expected Ye Mengyan to be so steadfast.
“Have you visited your aunt in the past few days?”
“Yes!”
“Did she mention anything else?”
I wanted to find out from her what Gu Yuanzhou had instructed her on how to persuade Wu Jun.
But Ye Mengyan seemed very guarded, and immediately steered the conversation away,
“Xiaoyun, I’ve tidied your room for you. You take the bedroom on the first floor. This room has a south-facing window, so the view is great.”
“Great, thank you!”
Just like that, I moved into Gu Yuanzhou’s mistress’ house.
How ironic… it never crossed my mind that one day I’d end up living under the same roof as Gu Yuanzhou’s lover.
And that we’d coexist peacefully!
The next day, the weekend, it rained the whole day.
I stood by the window early in the morning, watching the wisteria flowers outside being battered by the storm, scattering petals all over the courtyard.
Ye Mengyan knocked on the door and poked her head in,
“Xiaoyun, that white BMW outside is yours, right?”
“Oh, yes… it’s the company’s car assigned to me!”
“Could I borrow it? I need to buy groceries!”
“Sure!”
I handed her the car keys and couldn’t help but ask,
“Didn’t Gu Yuanzhou buy you a car?”
Ye Mengyan blushed, “He doesn’t allow me to drive!”
“Why?”
“He says it’s dangerous for girls to drive! He arranged a driver, Old Ma, for me. If I ever need, I could call Old Ma. But I know my place, and I don’t dare trouble others.”
I was once again surprised and muttered to myself about the display of affection this early in the morning.
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll be upset now that you’re driving?”
“Don’t worry, he doesn’t know. The market isn’t far, I’ll be back soon, is there anything you want me to bring back?”
“No!”
“Okay then! I’m off!”
Having taken the car keys, Ye Mengyan walked out.
I held my forehead and sighed, rubbing my face. Did I actually move here to torment myself? Keep calm, stay cool, Gu Yuanzhou, isn’t my man anymore.
Oh, maybe, he hasn’t been mine since four years ago.
Or maybe, he never loved me at all.
But that night, when we were trying to conjure spirits, he clutched me, apologizing to our baby. I could feel his love was still so deep, so intense.
Gu Yuanzhou, what exactly are you thinking?
Half an hour later, Ye Mengyan was back.
She bought vegetables and meats, then started preparing lunch.
Ye Mengyan, like Wu Jun, was efficient at housework, a clever woman indeed.
I went to the kitchen to help her with the vegetables, hoping to learn more details about Wu Jun, but she was very shrewd.
She was willing to discuss anything with me, but when it came to Wu Jun, she always sidestepped the topic.
“By the way, what will your mother do after you go to France?”
“Don’t worry about that. Gu Yuanzhou has arranged everything. My mother needs to have dialysis once a month at the hospital. He’s arranged for someone to pick her up…”
“He is so good to you!”
“Yes! That’s why I consider myself super lucky!”
She was super lucky, what about me?
Perhaps I was the super unlucky one then.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang, I opened the door.
The rain was still pouring outside. A man in a black trench coat stood in the rain, holding a black umbrella. But somehow, the rain managed to seep through the fabric, wetting his black hair.
Raindrops ran down from his hair, also dampening his dark eyes.
His gaze was as cold as the autumn rain,
“President Gu, you’ve arrived!”
I hurriedly opened the door.
As he entered, he brought in a chill.
He closed the umbrella and handed it to me. As I reached to take the umbrella, with either intention or otherwise, he brushed against my hand.
I instantly pulled back, causing the umbrella to fall to the ground.
As I bent down to pick up the umbrella, Ye Mengyan came out of the kitchen.
She greeted him joyfully, handing him a dry towel.
“Gu Yuanzhou, you’re here to see me?”
Gu Yuanzhou just nodded slightly; his gaze fixed on me.
