Chapter 98: Provoking Fire
I turned around and saw Xu Shu lazily lying on the steering wheel, looking towards me. His pair of eyes as bright as stars seemed to contain a hint of resentment.
I was confused. This famous star clearly didn't like me, so why did her expressions and behavior sometimes make people think about something else? I really couldn't figure out what she was thinking!
I said seriously, "You misunderstood! This is not my girlfriend's home, but the residence of an old leader in my previous company. She encountered an unfortunate incident recently and needs my help, so I came here."
Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled slightly, saying, "Really? Tang Qian, I have to say, you are such a kind person! But what time is it now? What favor do you need to help with in the middle of the night?"
I said, "Alas! I can't help it. It's just that this leader has been very kind to me in the past, so I have to help her. It's not a difficult thing to do, just talk to her and chat with her. She is alone now and feels very lonely."
Xu Shu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are not only kind-hearted, but also quite sentimental. Okay, then go ahead. Remember to rest early. We'll contact each other by phone later."
I nodded, opened the car door, got out, turned around and waved to Xu Shu, saying, "Goodbye!"
Xu Shu closed the car door and turned the car around on the spot. The Lamborghini was very agile and it took almost no effort to turn the car around in this small space.
Xu Shu backed up the car slightly and stopped beside me again. He rolled down the window and said with a smile, "One more thing. If my sister comes looking for you, remember to call me so that I won't worry. You know, my sister always likes to play missing, especially after she became obsessed with you, this big toy. I'm afraid she will be even harder to control."
I can only smile bitterly!
Xu Shu said again: "Take out your cell phone and write down my number." As she spoke, she reported a group of numbers. I quickly took out my cell phone and saved her number in the phone book.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Only my family and a few very close friends know this phone number. They can contact me at any time. Haha, you are now one of my very close friends! Okay, goodbye! Remember to keep in touch!"
The Lamborghini started up quickly and soon disappeared without a trace. I sighed and turned to walk towards Gu Ruoyan's house. I looked at my watch as I walked. It was already past 1:30 in the morning.
I rang the doorbell of Gu Ruoyan's house, and almost at the same time, the door opened. Gu Ruoyan stood at the door crying with joy, choking with sobs, "Tang Qian, you... you are finally here!"
I smiled and walked into the house. I said, "When you called me just now, I was still on Caiyu Mountain. So it took you so long to get back. You must be very anxious waiting for me, right?"
Gu Ruoyan closed the door and said happily, "No, no, it's great as long as you can come. Without you, I don't even dare to sleep now."
I looked around, searching for the Zhonghua cigarettes that Gu Ruoyan bought for me. I had just finished my own cigarettes, and now I was craving for cigarettes, so I started looking for them.
Gu Ruoyan asked, "What are you looking for? I'll get it for you."
"Where are those packs of Zhonghua? I'm done with my cigarettes, where did you put them?"
Gu Ruoyan hurried into the bedroom and said, "I put them on the bedside table. I'll get them." I followed him in and saw Gu Ruoyan quickly take out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from the bedside table and turned around to hand them to me.
I took a packet and said to Gu Ruoyan, "Okay, it's late, go to bed first, you still have to go to work tomorrow." Gu Ruoyan nodded obediently and said, "I'll move a chair for you, and we can talk."
I tore open the cigarette package, took out a cigarette and lit it up. Gu Ruoyan was very diligent, bringing me a chair and pouring me some water, and then placed the crystal ashtray on the bedside table before undressing and getting into bed.
I sat on a chair smoking a cigarette and noticed that she was still wearing casual clothes, not pajamas. Now she was not shy about it and took off her clothes beside the bed in front of me.
Gu Ruoyan took off her clothes with her back to me, and of course she only took off her clothes until she was left with her thermal underwear. A 30-year-old woman, in addition to looking more mature and plump, her figure has not changed at all, perhaps because she has never given birth to a child. I think she is a typical gourd-shaped woman, with unusually plump breasts and hips, but a slender waist. Her figure is so hot that it makes people bleed from the nose. I only took a second look and dared not look any further. I turned my head to smoke without looking away.
I only heard Gu Ruoyan making a sound and crawling into the quilt. Then she said with a hint of disappointment, "I'm fine. Turn around."
I turned around and saw Gu Ruoyan's face full of resentment. I said, "Am I so old that you can't stand it anymore? Tang Qian, you are too much!"
I laughed and said, "No way! Manager, you have such a great figure. I was afraid that if I looked at you too much, I would commit a crime. That's why I didn't dare to look at you. You are wronging me!"
Gu Ruoyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, " My figure...is it okay? I don't have any confidence anymore."
"Of course. In the company, who doesn't know that you have a hot body? When those men saw you from behind, they all drooled. Didn't you notice that?"
"Don't give me that! Do you think I don't know? You all call me a tigress behind my back! How can a tigress have a hot body ?"
"Ah? You know this too? Haha, but this nickname only refers to your cold appearance. It has nothing to do with your body. Don't mind it!"
Gu Ruoyan's eyes looked a little strange, and her voice was a little charming, as if she was acting coquettishly, "I don't mind what others say! What I mind is, Tang Qian, do you also think that I am... very hot? Have you... have you ever... swallowed your saliva for me?"
I was sweating! I said, "Manager... should we not discuss this issue?"
Gu Ruoyan couldn't hide her disappointment. She quickly lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry! I...I won't ask anymore!"
I sighed and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. "Manager, I've thought about it. It's really inconvenient for a man like me to come in and out of your house in the middle of the night. I think you should try to go out more and meet people. Maybe you can meet a good man who is willing to take care of you for the rest of your life. As long as you like him, that would be great. I can retire after I succeed, and you can find a good home. There's no need for me, an outsider, to mess around here."
"Ah?" Gu Ruoyan cried softly, then she bit her lower lip, tears filling her eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "You...you don't care about me anymore? Have you started to hate me?"
As she spoke, tears of grievance were about to roll down. I hurriedly said, "Manager, don't get me wrong, I don't hate you! I just see that you are so lonely, and I can't be with you forever, so I suggest you find a lover. If you have a lover, get married and start a family, of course you don't need me to get involved anymore, then I can retire now, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyan finally burst into tears. She choked and said, "I... I'm scared. I will never get married again in my life. Tang Qian, I will never trust any other man except you. I... I just need you to take care of me. Please... don't abandon me... I'm scared. I've lost everything. I can't... lose you again, Tang Qian! Woo woo..."
At this time, I finally understood that in Gu Ruoyan's mind, I was no longer just a simple companion. I had become the only support in her life. Without me, she would collapse immediately.
This woman, who looked so strong on the outside, was actually so fragile on the inside. I couldn't imagine what she would become if I didn't care about her. It was certain that she would live in pain forever. As someone who had received her kindness and care , how could I bear to see her become like that?
I also realized that maybe I had replaced her husband in her mind. Although it might not be true love, it was unquestionable that she regarded me as a support. No wonder she acted like that last night. It seemed that caring for others had gone wrong. I appeared when she was most emotionally vulnerable. She held on to me as her only lifeline. Her empty and depressed heart immediately threw herself on me, and took me for granted as her man.
This is such a headache! I know I can't be with her, but if I tell her now that I can't do it, it's very likely that she will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and she will never recover. An emotional blow has already made her so self-destructive. It's not easy for her to find another emotional sustenance and start to have fun in life again. If I hit her again, I'm afraid it will completely destroy her, right?
I sighed in my heart. I knew I was too soft-hearted to do such a drastic thing. But I was unwilling to accept her. Oh! What should I do?
After much consideration, I decided that the most urgent thing was to help Gu Ruoyan get out of this most painful period. Even if I had to do something against my will, I would have to accept it. Who told me that I had received her kindness? Who told me that I was soft-hearted? As for how to solve this matter in the future, let's talk about it later. I can't care about so much now!
Seeing Gu Ruoyan crying and heartbroken, I could only say, "Why are you crying? Don't be silly, how could I abandon you? I won't ignore you, wipe your tears quickly, stop crying."
When Gu Ruoyan heard this, she immediately looked at me expectantly and sobbed, "Then, will you still hate me, leave me, and let me find another man?"
I said, "No, I will never leave you, is that good enough?"
Gu Ruoyan finally smiled, bursting into laughter! But she immediately started crying again, she said: "Tang Qian! You are so bad! You scared me just now!" She acted coquettishly, crawled out of the bed, and got out of bed barefoot. Then she threw herself into my arms with a look of anger and joy, and hugged me tightly.
At that moment, I could only feel the scent of a woman filling my nose, and I just wanted to sneeze. I reached out to push her, but where I touched was the extremely tempting, voluptuous body of a mature woman, so that only two words appeared in my mind: hot!
