Chapter 212: 212 Refusal_1
“Is there a difference between liking and loving?”
He asked eagerly.
His unwillingness was evident, he clearly knew the answer but couldn’t accept it, desperate for a chance to turn the tables. Just like an immature and irrational boy.
It always seems to me that Ding Yinuo, a man who’s accustomed to a privileged upbringing.
From a young age, he had no worries about food and clothing. Whatever he wanted, he could easily have.
So, he’s incredibly confident!
And my rejection caused his self-confidence to collapse.
So, he didn’t want to accept this outcome.
I smiled.
Because I knew clearly if I hadn’t extricated myself from this mire, dragging him into it would lead us both deeper into the abyss of anguish.
“Ayun, tell me, what’s wrong with me, I can change! Ayun, I know sometimes I’m not so mature, and I’m a bit too eager in handling emotional matters. When I’m with you, I might not have taken your feelings into account. But, as long as you speak up, I can change.”
As I looked at the hurt in his eyes, and thought about how good he has always been to me,
And thought about the recent misfortune that befell the Ding family.
I felt it may be somewhat too cruel to reject him now.
So, I changed my tune.
“It’s not because of you, it’s my own issues. Give me some time, until one day, when I’m no longer caught up with Gu Yuanzhou. When I’ve achieved my vengeance and rid my hatred. If at that time, you still like me, you still want to marry me, we can discuss whether or not to be together again, okay?”
“Okay!”
A soft light finally returned to Ding Yinuo’s eyes.
With an imperceptible smile tugging at his lips, he gently touched my wrist
“Did I grip too tightly?”
“No!”
“Should I massage it for you?”
“Ding Yinuo, are you drunk?”
“Yeah, I had a bit too much. I feel a bit dizzy ”
Under the influence of alcohol, he abruptly bent over and picked me up, then ran around in crazy circles in the living room.
It was obvious he was excited, as if he had discovered some kind of treasure.
After a couple of rounds, he then carried me to the bed.
“Ayun, I’ll wait for you!”
“Okay!”
I wasn’t sure if my response could be considered as commitment.
“Ayun, I want to sleep by your side tonight!”
He put forward another excessive demand.
“No!”
“Just for an hour!”
“Not good!”
“Ten minutes?”
I eventually gave in to his relentless insistence, allowing him to sleep there.
He then contentedly laid down.
We’d initially agreed to just ten minutes, but he fell into deep slumber.
Until the next morning, when I woke up, he was still fast asleep.
The phone kept ringing, alarming me awake from my dream. I leapt off the sofa, darted over to the side table, and picked up the phone.
It was Ding Yinuo’s phone. The caller ID indicated Mother.
“Ding Yinuo, your phone, please answer!”
Ding Yinuo groggily got up and took the phone.
After a few seconds, he hung up the call and started looking for his clothes on the floor.
“I’m going to take a shower and head home.”
“Okay, go ahead!”
At this point, I was still unaware of what had happened.
After Ding Yinuo went to take a shower, his phone started ringing again. This time the caller ID showed it was Ding Xiao’s number.
I became a bit suspicious, what on earth was happening? Early in the morning, his family members were taking turns to call Ding Yinuo?
Ding Yinuo quickly finished his shower. Buttoning his shirt and glancing at the couch, he asked, “Didn’t you sleep in the bed last night?”
“No, the bed is too small, actually, the couch is quite comfortable Oh, your brother called.”
I handed the phone to him.
As he put on his shoes, he dialed back.
He had it on speaker, and I could hear.
Ding Xiao said, dad has had an accident, come back home!
“Okay, I’m coming back right away!”
Ding Yinuo quickly prepared to go out, his face unprecedently solemn. I rushed after him and called out.
“What happened?”
He hesitated for a few minutes before he said, “You head back to the office first, just follow the company’s schedule, we’ll cancel the afternoon meeting, contact me if you have any issues.”
“What happened at your house?”
“Nothing! I’ll just go handle it!”
He still refused to tell me, and hurriedly left the house.
By the time I grabbed my bag and went to follow him, his car had already left.
I had a bad feeling.
However, I returned to the company first.
Since he was tending to his family issues, I needed to oversee the company.
However, just as I arrived at the office, the receptionist hastily approached me, “Miss Song, a Mr. Gu is looking for you, he’s been waiting for over an hour.”
I checked my phone, I had overslept, it was past nine now.
That meant he had been here since eight.
“Where is he?”
“He waited in the reception room for half an hour, then went to your office! The guest seems to have a nasty temper ”
I could see the alarm in the receptionist’s eyes, she clearly knew who our guest was.
“It’s okay, I’ll handle it!”
I lightly patted the receptionist’s shoulder, then went straight upstairs.
My office has no doors, it’s surrounded by transparent glass walls, half of which is a design workspace.
Most of the time, I’m designing and making fashion, as there are still many outstanding orders.
To maintain a no-barrier working environment with my staff, I didn’t install a door From a far, it looks more like an exhibition hall for our company.
A row of models stands inside, each one wearing one of my sample designs.
At the moment, a dark figure was in there admiring my designs.
I walked quickly into the room.
“Mr. Gu, you’re not welcome here!”
Gu Yuanzhou, his hand in his pocket, glanced at me.
“Your office is so small, much worse than Zhenyi’s!”
“True!”
“How much does he pay you a month?”
“Not a single penny!”
“Freeloading off you?”
He expressed disdain.
“Of course not, I have shares! I want to rise and fall with Sky Pride together!”
“Naive! Do you really believe Sky Pride still has a future? Yes, money is vulgar, but without money, all you can do is starve.”
Gu Yuanzhou started preaching again, unfortunately, I had lost my interest in listening.
I pointed rudely towards the elevator,
“Mr. Gu, let me say it one more time, you’re not welcome here. The door is that way, would you please leave.”
He totally ignored my words, instead sitting down on the couch, “I’m not here to see you!”
“Then who are you here for?”
“You call Ding Yinuo! Tell him, the only person who can save the Ding family, is me!”
Obviously, I didn’t believe a word of Gu Yuanzhou’s nonsense, I continued to stubbornly point towards the door, “One needs face, trees need bark, Gu Yuanzhou, I find you so repulsive, isn’t it pointless for you to stay here?”
Given what I just said, any self-aware man would have got up and left by now.
Indeed, Gu Yuanzhou’s face turned grim upon my words, he stood up, “I admire your courage, but let me tell you, you’ll regret the words you said today.”
Having said that, he decisively turned around and left.
Just before he left, his calm and indifferent eyes sent a chill down my spine.
