Chapter 119: Do You Still Like Him?

  The next day, Gu Yu took the medicine at night and slept soundly. When she woke up, her spirit was refreshed, and it seemed that her illness had improved by more than half. Except for some lingering fatigue after the illness, everything else was fine.

  "Madam, the young master instructed before he left that you can have anything you want to eat. He also told the kitchen to reserve some of the best bird's nest for you."

  Gu Yan looked at the servant and asked, "Has Xiao Qian left?"

  "Yes, young mistress, the young master had something to attend to early and left first. The young master is really good to you, he even specifically instructed you to take care of your body and told us to watch you eat."

  Gu Yu held a small, white ceramic spoon and was stirring the clear congee in front of her. The breakfast on the table had been specially ordered from the kitchen, and she suspected that it was also one of Xiao Qian's arrangements.

  Gu Yu took a spoon and had a mouthful of the small porridge, looked at the delicate salted vegetables on the table, picked up a pair of long bamboo chopsticks, clamped some salted vegetables with them, and ate several mouthfuls with the clear porridge.

  Outside, the sun was slowly rising, shining on the empty garden at the entrance. Gu Yu regretted pulling out all those flowers in a fit of anger, now it really didn't look good here.

  Gu Yu had agreed with Lin Wan to meet at a coffee shop today.

  Lin Wan looked at Gu Yu's somewhat thinner face, reached out and pinched her cheek, "What's going on with you, Gu Yu? I haven't seen you for a few days and you've lost weight again."

  Gu Yu slapped her hand away, "Can't you lose weight?"

  "Hey, you're still losing weight. You're not photogenic and can't even go on stage. And now you've become so thin, are you trying to give us artists a chance? Lin Wan was furious, looking at Gu Yidao, "But with your figure and face, it's a waste if you don't become a star."

  Gu Yu sucked on the straw, gulping down milk tea, "I won't fight you for your rice bowl today, didn't you have a meeting? You look so carefree."

  Lin Wan said, "There's an interview this afternoon, but I heard they have ***, so just in case, I've prepared a suit, you know, to protect myself first, right?"

  "Get out, if you say you're the young lady of the Lin family, who would dare to be real with you? What heroine isn't directly handed over to you on a silver platter, begging you to act." Gu Ye looked at her and saw that she had actually taken out a condom, and couldn't help but stare at her in shock.

  Lin Wan burst out laughing, "You fool, I was just kidding you. This thing is from a photographer, it's specifically used to cover cameras, you don't know, this thing is better than any lens hood, look at how dirty your mind is, looking at this and only thinking of that, indeed a married woman, her thoughts are more open-minded than ours."

  Gu Yu rolled her eyes at her, "I'm still considering whether I want to go to jail or not, and you're coming at me with this."

  She snatched the gloves out of her hand and said, "You've used them before, just take them and move around randomly."

  "How could I have never used it? Do you know how many unspoken rules I have to follow every day?"

  "Get out! Anyone can break the rules, you're breaking... Don't you want to live anymore? Let the Lin family know, they'll break those people's legs."

  "Lin's family doesn't care about me anyway," said Lin Wanxia, looking her up and down, "Right, you're from Xiao's house, aren't you?"

  Gu Yu drank her coffee and said, "Yeah, what's up."

  "Aren't you divorced from Xiao Qian? Ah, aren't you together again?"

  "How is that possible." Gu Yan glared at her.

  I've known Lin Wan for too long, and in front of her, I'm like a transparent person. She just needs to glance at me a few times, and it's as if she can see right through me.

  She directly pulled open the silk scarf on Gu Yu's neck.

  "On a hot day like today, what's with the silk scarf." As soon as he said that, the scarf fell off, and Gu Ye didn't even have time to react.

  Lin Wan looked at her neck and immediately let out a shrill cry, "How dare you, Gu Yu, you still dare to deceive me! Look at this, what is this? How intense must it have been to become like this?"

  Gu Yan wanted to go back and shut her mouth.

  "That's enough from you, or I'll chop you into pieces and throw them outside for the dogs to eat!" Gu Yu shouted at her.

  Lin Wan only then noticed that there were people all around him.

  Although Lin Wan is just an extra, he is still a performing artist after all, and his image is good-looking first of all. As for Gu Ye, although he didn't think about developing in the entertainment industry, he also has an extraordinary appearance that sets him apart from ordinary people. So when the two of them walked into this coffee shop, they immediately attracted attention like hungry wolves. At this moment, Lin Wan turned his head and saw all sorts of eyes staring at him everywhere.

  Gu Yu glared at Lin Wan, "Sooner or later, I'll make you wish you were dead."

  Lin Wan whispered, restrained a lot, but softly pulled Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan, you didn't fall in love with Xiao Qian, did you?"

  With a glance from Gu Yuemei, a beauty is always a beauty, even when rolling her eyes, she looks better than ordinary people.

  "What nonsense are you talking about?"

  "Really, Xiao Wei, you were originally a person with principles too. Hey, what's going on between you and Xiao Qian? Tell me clearly, I know that if you didn't have feelings for him, he wouldn't have really touched you..."

  "Looking at her, 'It's just... I've been with him for six years after all, we've done everything intimate together, how can it be so clean to break up just like that?'"

  "It's not like that, Xiao Wei. Just say it, now that you've seen him, are you happy? Not seeing him, do you miss him? At home, don't you feel a bit off? Is it only when you're by his side that you feel like that's home?"

  Her eyes were round and rolling, her eye sockets grew bigger and smaller, and her pupils sparkled with a dark gem-like light.

  "Are you writing romance?"

  Lin Wan hummed and said, "At first, when you were in school, your family asked him to take care of you. When you came back after meeting him, I felt that something was off. Yes, at that time, it was also understandable. He is two years older than you, looks much more mature, handsome, and overbearing. Many eyes would stare at them as they walked out of school together. At that time, many girls liked this type, let alone him being the second young master of the Xiao family. In B City, who wouldn't look up to the Xiao family? You would have a good impression of him in your heart, and I can understand that completely. Later, when you married him, I was happy for you too. After all, marrying into the Xiao family is a good thing. As the young mistress of the Xiao family, at least you wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. But what I didn't expect was that you two would end up like this now. You're divorced, and I'm happy for you too. If it's not suitable, then hurry up and divorce. However, later on, I thought that you two were just a couple who quarreled, and your quarrel reached the point of divorce. But that doesn't mean you can't make up. After being together for six years, this time's quarrel might just be an explosion. If you've exploded, but you still have feelings for each other, then perhaps you'll return to his side. After all, you like him, and I'm sure of that."

  Gu Yu's eyes drooped, gazing at the glass tabletop, where the coffee wafted a fragrant aroma. She felt that her own throat was similarly filled with a sweet and bitter taste, mixed together with caffeine, controlling people's emotions, bewildering those who had long lost track of whether they liked or disliked it. In short, she couldn't shake off this complex feeling.

  Gu Yu said, "I know what you mean. After the divorce, I did have a period of time when I missed him, but this time it's not a quarrel or a cold war, it's a divorce. I know that everything may be irretrievable, so deep down, I'm sad. But when I was with him, I thought about it a lot and realized that we were wrong to be together from the start. He doesn't love me, and that's the root of everything. Lin Wan, marriage can't continue just because one person is reluctant to let go. Even if I have regrets, what can I do? He himself said that even after giving us six years, he still didn't fall in love with me. So even if we had a lifetime together, he wouldn't be able to love me."

  "It's better to leave him far away, Xiao Ye. Why not take this opportunity to leave the Xiao family once and for all? Your abilities can be developed elsewhere," Lin Wan said. "Don't see each other again, don't think about it anymore. Only with a new life can you thoroughly leave him behind."

  Her eyes sparkled, but deep down, it was like a dry well, a feeling of wanting to cry but finding no tears, a desiccation that made the heart ache even more.

  Do you really have to leave thoroughly?

  Are you leaving?

  In the evening, Yuan Chun called her and said that he had found a clue and might need her to go to the company to take a look.

  She then sent Lin Wan back first and went to the company on the way.

  Xiao Qian was also returning from outside at this time, and when he saw the car parked on the high-rise parking lot next to him, it was Gu Yan's. He paused for a moment, walked over, and saw that her favorite perfume was placed inside the car. Through the window, he seemed to smell the familiar scent as well. The car, like her, was clean and neat, without any extra decorations. He looked at it, shook his head, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a strange object under the driver's seat.

  Lying there, it's like a soft and fluffy plastic...

  He stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly reacted, "That... that... that... isn't an open condom?"

  By the way, I posted a small drama yesterday in the comments section of the small theater building. If you're interested, go take a look!
