Chapter 68: 68: Remedial Measures_1
Unless one deliberately pays attention, they tend to reveal inadvertently.
Realizing the severity of the problem, I didn’t have time to explain to Ye Mengyan. I turned around and ran out of the kitchen straight away.
I then ran all the way to the second floor.
After opening the study, I began to look for the calligraphy post I had seen earlier.
However, I searched for a long time without success.
The script that was clearly on the desktop just now, had strangely vanished.
Had Gu Yuanzhou taken it away?
Lost in my thoughts, Gu Yuanzhou’s voice rang out,
“What are you looking for?”
I quickly thought up an excuse,
“Uh, I can’t find my phone!”
“Isn’t the phone in your hand?”
His reminder pulled me back into reality. I was holding my phone in my hand. Embarrassed, I nod, “Ah, look at my memory, I really…”
“It’s okay, forgetting is normal, let’s go for dinner.”
“Okay!”
I took my phone and walked out. I walked a few steps, turned back, still not completely satisfied.
“President Gu, there was a problem with the poem I wrote!”
Gu Yuanzhou’s dark eyes looked at me, “What problem?”
“It seems I made a mistake with a few characters. Why don’t I write a new one for you?”
Gu Yuanzhou refused on the spot,
“No need, it was just a spontaneous creation, you don’t need to worry.”
I had nothing more to say and couldn’t demand further.
Reluctantly, I went downstairs.
In my mind, I hoped that he had not noticed my signature.
Or else, I could swap it when he leaves.
So, after dinner, I waited in my room for Gu Yuanzhou to leave, and then find an opportunity to change it.
This wait ended up being several hours long.
Outside, it was already deep into the night, and Gu Yuanzhou was still upstairs, showing no signs of leaving.
Ye Mengyan was busy in the living room, calling her classmates and sharing her joy of soon studying abroad in France.
After all, her peers of the same age were busy looking for jobs to feed themselves. However, she was able to continue her studies because she was cherished.
How lucky was she?
I was aimlessly surfing my phone.
The news that was trending earlier was still there. There were all kinds of messages condemning Gu Yuanzhou beneath it.
Just as I was thoroughly reading, Ye Mengyan suddenly stepped in.
Her eyes were red as if she had just quarreled with someone.
“Did you quarrel with President Gu?”
I had my door closed and didn’t hear any commotion from outside.
Ye Mengyan sighed, “I told my classmates about going to France. I don’t know who told Shen Yishu. He just called and quarreled with me.”
I glanced at her, “Since you’ve chosen one person, it means you have to give up another.”
“I know! But what Shen Yishu said really upset me…”
“Oh, what did Shen Yishu say?”
“He said, Gu Yuanzhou will never fall in love with me. He loves Mrs. Gu and in his lifetime, no one can replace her position in his heart.”
I was taking a sip of my tea and almost spat it out upon hearing her words.
“You believe this?”
I asked, trying to keep my composure.
Ye Mengyan did not answer me directly. It seemed that she was thinking about something. What was she worried about?
Isn’t what Gu Yuanzhou gave her enough?
She bit her lip and asked me,
“Do you think, if a man loves a woman, does he have to sleep with her?”
I raised an eyebrow, “You’ve been with Gu Yuanzhou for four years, don’t you know?”
Ye Mengyan blushed and stammered for a while.
“We… even though we’re very close, each time… but… we haven’t really been intimate. We haven’t…you know?”
Ye Mengyan’s words shocked me greatly.
“You mean, you’re still a virgin?”
Ye Mengyan nodded desperately.
This was beyond my expectations.
Heh, how interesting.
Gu Yuanzhou is a man with a strong sexual desire, he hadn’t slept with Ye Mengyan yet. This is kinda hard to explain.
“You didn’t ask him about it?”
“How can I bring this up? But, I once told him that my mother is quite conservative. She believes everyone should abstain from sex before getting married.”
“Oh! He must respect you a lot!”
I remember Gu Yuanzhou had compared Ye Mengyan to a gem. Maybe because he couldn’t give her the status of a wife before, he did not want to take her virginity.
After getting married, they would probably be intimate.
Suddenly, I remembered our dating period with Gu Yuanzhou.
Less than a month in, he had coaxed me into bed.
Day after day, he would pin me to the bed, wishing he would never have to leave the bed.
It appears that the scoundrel saw me as a tool for his carnal desires.
Indeed, the difference between love and indifference is vast.
“Ah, Shen Yishu is frightening me now. Did you see it? He is spreading rumors about Gu online. I really don’t know what to do!”
Ye Mengyan was upset.
She stayed in my room for a while and then went out.
Just as Ye Mengyan said, she slept in the guest room next to me at night, while Gu Yuanzhou was in the upstairs bedroom.
The two didn’t stay together.
Perhaps because I was here, Gu Yuan Zhou was hesitant and did not make a move on Ye Mengyan in front of me?
I don’t understand.
After lying down for a while, Ding Yinuo sent me a text message.
“Where are you?”
“What?”
“Let’s video call, I have something to ask you!”
He sent me a video link, which I declined,
“I’m already in bed asleep, why video call.”
“Wenya said you moved in with that beast?”
“Yes, it’s called venturing into the tiger’s den to catch the tiger. Only by getting deep into the enemy’s territory, can you figure out the enemy’s real situation!”
Ding Yinuo expressed displeasure and continued to grumble.
“Are you stupid or naive? Do you not know what kind of person he is? Listen to me, you should move out now!”
I was too lazy to explain to him,
“Mr. Ding, don’t forget your position. You’re my competitor, not my boyfriend. You’re meddling too much.”
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll sleep with you?”
“No, I understand Gu Yuanzhou very well. He is not a desperate man. Besides, his mistress is still here. If he wants to sleep with someone, it would be her, not me.”
“Alright, stop talking. I’m sleepy, good night.”
I was too lazy to bother with him, so I turned off my phone and turned over to sleep with my quilt.
At night, I dreamt of the day I married Gu Yuanzhou again.
I was standing in front of him in my wedding dress, and he was looking at me affectionately,
“Ayun, will you marry me?”
Thinking of the terrible fire, my heart ached unbearably, tears streamed down my face, and I shook my head to reject him,
“No! Gu Yuanzhou, you will cause my death. I don’t want to marry you, I will never marry you…”
If life could start over, I would never marry him.
Maybe the pain felt so real that I felt suffocated and suddenly woke up from the dream.
When I opened my eyes, my heart was still pounding hard.
The moonlight outside the window seeped in, casting a dim halo on the room. When I looked back abruptly, there was a dark shadow standing beside the bed.
