The line was connected, but neither of them spoke.
Gu Yanzhi sat in the study, listening to the shallow breathing on the other side of the line, his thoughts gnawing at his bones.
Time seems to go back to the time when he and Nuannuan just got married.
It was Lu Jingxing's birthday, the phone call he made to Nuan Nuan.
When he heard it outside, he felt incomprehensible and resentful inside.
He clearly knows that Nuannuan no longer belongs to him, so why bother with him?!
Only at this moment did he deeply understand what Lu Jingxing was feeling at that time!
When you love someone deeply, even if you know that they no longer belong to you.
But when I miss my bones, my emotions sometimes override my reason and I can't control myself.
Unless you have never loved deeply.
It's not that he doesn't know that he shouldn't make this call. Since he chose divorce and consummation, he shouldn't let Nuannuan know that he hasn't let go yet.
After divorcing her, he actually didn't live well.
But, under the influence of alcohol, he didn't want to be rational.
He didn't want to hang up the phone, he wanted to hear the warm voice, really wanted to.
Just when Gu Yanzhi wanted to tell Nuan Nuan how much he missed her, a male voice came into his ears from the line over there, "Nuan Nuan——"
It's Lu Jingxing.
Gu Yanzhi immediately cut off the call.
Unbearable.
He was familiar with Lu Jingxing's voice, and he was even more familiar with the hoarseness in his voice.
You can imagine what happened to Nuannuan before his phone call.
He called Nuan Nuan three times before answering. He thought Nuan Nuan was asleep and didn't answer the phone, but he never thought that they were...
Gu Yanzhi's heart tightened.
When they were getting divorced, he told Nuannuan to go find Lu Jingxing.
When he said this, he really wanted everything to come true. He wanted the woman he loved deeply to be able to live happily with the man she cared about.
Can--
He couldn't deny that Nuannuan didn't immediately get together with Lu Jingxing, and he was a little happy in his heart.
Nuan Nuan grew up in a conservative environment at heart.
After spending four years with him and returning to Lu Jingxing, she needed time to overcome the hurdle in her heart.
While he hoped that she would be happy, he also hoped that she would cross that hurdle later.
Oscillating between selflessness and selfishness, a contradiction.
He has always known what Nuan Nuan and Lu Jingxing are doing now.
Although Lu Jingxing chased him to the small town and lived next door to Nuannuan, they were not really together.
He also knew that Nuan Nuan would one day cross the hurdle in his heart.
It's just a matter of time.
But what he didn't expect was that when Nuannuan really crossed over, he felt like this in his heart.
Is the woman who once belonged to him going to lie in Lu Jingxing's arms again?
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable my heart becomes.
Before his thoughts spread beyond his control, Gu Yanzhi suddenly stood up and rushed out of the study with staggering steps as if something was chasing him.
I stumbled all the way downstairs, rushed out, opened the door and got in the car.
Turn the steering wheel, step on the accelerator, and quickly drive away from this place full of him and warm memories.
…
Lu Jingxing's residence, he had just taken a cold shower and came out of the bathroom. Looking at Nuan Nuan sitting on the sofa with his back to the bathroom, he apologized: "Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry, I drank too much just now."
He clearly knows what Nuan Nuan cares about in his heart, and it will take time to repair it.
But he just couldn't control himself.
He and Nuan Nuan finally got to where they are now. In the past, he was always the one who owed Nuan Nuan.
He should be content that he could still be by her side.
A cold shower washed away his desire and calmed him down.
After that, there is fear.
Everything that happened today was obviously an accident.
If the gun goes off and Nuannuan escapes further, what should he do?
When Nuan Nuan heard Lu Jingxing's voice, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her phone.
This was a conditioned reflex behavior, and Lu Jingxing could see it all.
He stood quietly at the door of the bathroom, his eyes obviously darkening.
Nuan Nuan noticed it and turned to look at Lu Jingxing.
I saw the sadness in his eyes.
It's not because she just refused, but because she subconsciously covered her phone.
Nuan Nuan's hand holding the phone tightened obviously.
He remained kneeling on the sofa, unable to lower his eyelids.
A "beep" sound rang in her ears, and the line was cut off the moment Lu Jingxing opened his mouth to call her.
She didn't call back, she just put the phone back in her coat pocket and stood up from the sofa.
Not daring to look at Lu Jingxing again, he hurriedly said, "I'm going back first."
A group of two or three people had already rushed to the door.
"Nuan Nuan..."
Lu Jingxing took a few steps forward, his lips quivering as he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back silently and changed the subject, "Be careful while driving."
"Um."
Wen Nuan, who had arrived at the door, responded in a low voice, unscrewed the door, and rushed out.
There was a soft "bang" sound.
Lu Jingxing stood in the living room and watched the door close in front of his eyes. The soft sound hit his heart hard, and his heart sank to the bottom inch by inch.
He has always thought that Nuan Nuan and Gu Yanzhi were only married but not in love.
She was simply fulfilling her duties as a wife.
But Nuannuan's conditioned reflex behavior just now made him suddenly start to panic.
It was obvious that she and Gu Yanzhi had divorced.
It was obvious that the person she loved in her heart was him.
Why was she afraid of letting Gu Yanzhi hear his voice?
Does she really still only have him in her heart?
He waited silently because he was sure of this, but today made him uneasy.
He is afraid of losing again.
If you have been content with the status quo, can you really bring Nuan Nuan back to him?
He can no longer be sure!
…
Gu Yanzhi left the villa and ran quickly.
He drove to a famous nightclub in Jiangcheng.
He used to be a frequent visitor to major nightclubs, and the most famous ones have endured for a long time and their business is still booming.
Although he had not visited him for many years, due to his status in Jiangcheng, the manager recognized him as soon as he appeared, raised his legs and greeted him enthusiastically, "Young Master Gu..."
While talking, he led the person into the best box.
There was no need for Gu Yanzhi to ask, the manager had already arranged it for him.
As soon as I sat down in the box, the door of the box opened from the outside, and seven or eight beautiful girls walked in from the outside.
There are the types that Gu Yanzhi once liked, and there are two of the same type as Wen Nuan.
They are all the top princesses here, they are very considerate in every aspect and feel at home.
"Young Master Gu, if you are not satisfied with these, I still have them here. I will definitely let you choose something you are satisfied with."
Gu Yanzhi didn't want to be alone tonight.
He felt so uncomfortable in his heart that he came here.
But he really knows how to be in the box, looking at the woman in front of him who can please him and make him happy as long as he nods his head. There is even a woman with a warm look in her eyes.
But can he really satisfy his physical needs on a strange woman like before?
It seems he can no longer do it.
"No."
Gu Yanzhi suddenly stood up.
Ask the manager to debit his account, give these girls tips, and then leave the nightclub.
When he went out, the parking boy had already driven his car back to the door and was waiting for him.
He opened the door and stepped on the accelerator again.
This time, his car drove directly to Nancy's downstairs.
This seemed to be the only place he could go.
The car drove into Nancy's community and parked in the parking space.
Find the mobile phone from the storage box, unlock it, and call up Nancy's number from inside.
Not wanting to type, Gu Yanzhi sent a voice message.
Upstairs, Nancy has suffered from chronic insomnia and is a night owl. She has just finished writing a manuscript.
I sat on the bar chair and soaked my feet while eating a late-night snack, which was a small cake half left over from afternoon tea.
He held a small spoon in one hand and fed it into his mouth, while he held his mobile phone in the other hand and scrolled through hot searches.
At this moment, the phone vibrated, and a WeChat message popped up from the top of the phone.
She wouldn't pay attention to other people's news and would just slide it over.
But when she saw the note, Nancy reached out and opened it immediately.
Gu:【Are you asleep?】
Hearing Gu Yanzhi's obviously drunken voice, Nancy's expression changed obviously and she replied instantly.
Instead of asking him what was wrong, he asked him: [Where are you?]
Gu: [You are downstairs.]
Nancy:【Come up.】
Gu Yanzhi didn't reply. Nancy put down the dessert she had just taken a few bites of, pulled the towel on one side to wipe her feet, put on her slippers and walked into the kitchen.
Her cooking skills are actually very good, but she hardly cooks now.
When she learned cooking, it was just to please men.
After drinking poisonous chicken soup, I believe that if you want to catch a man, you must first catch that man's stomach.
She had caught her stomach, and he would often go to her place to drink the soup she carefully cooked for him, eat all the dishes she cooked, and praise her cooking skills.
He is mature, elegant, and is considered a successful person by others. He is often active in financial news.
He is fifteen years older than her, and he is attentive and considerate to her every day.
Except that he is a little older, he fulfills any young girl's fantasy about her significant other.
He knows that she understands her, loves her and dotes on her, and he will give her the best.
As long as it is what she wants, he will never be stingy with money.
She happily stayed in the two-story bungalow he bought for her according to her preferences.
In addition to reading, growing flowers, doing beauty treatments, and going shopping, she spent the rest of her time waiting for the few days each month that he, who was very busy at work, would take time to spend with her.
She wanted to work, he said, and if she had a job, he couldn't see her when he wanted to see her.
With just one word from him, she, who was deeply in love, gave up her job, and like a little sweet wife, she was willing to wash her hands and make soup for him.
She liked diamonds, so he searched for all kinds of beautiful diamonds in the world for her.
She was wearing the engagement ring he spent tens of millions to buy for her.
Like every girl who is about to get married, she looks forward to the day when her beloved man marries her.
She has been waiting for two years.
In the end, his wife came to the door and had her garden destroyed with two years of hard work and her carefully decorated house destroyed.
He pointed at her nose and called her a vixen, a vixen who seduced her husband.
At that moment, she realized that she had always been a mistress.
The perfect fiancé who she always respected in her eyes turned out to have been married and had children ten years ago.
She is just his canary.
He doesn't respect her, she just has enough patience, and this patience is also because he has no shortage of women.
It can also be said that he has always regarded her as a beautiful vase or a bird, and occasionally takes some time to admire her.
His wife grabbed her hair and slapped her several times. She did not fight back and accepted it silently.
Before his wife left, he deliberately humiliated her and hit her in the face with a stack of RMB.
Money fell to the ground one by one.
The soles of his feet were stepped on by his wife's high heels, just like her dignity was crushed.
He came over after his wife left.
He has no feelings for her, and he and her wife have long ago.
He was in the process of getting a divorce, but the two parties were married and the divorce was relatively slow, so it had been delayed until now. He asked her to wait for him.
At that time, she loved that man so much.
She listened to his sincere words, thinking that he was so good to her, and she had a small expectation that he would really divorce her and marry her.
But just a week later, she saw him hugging her wife and the two walked into the restaurant intimately.
She felt ashamed and ridiculous for her behavior that week.
During the more than two years when she was a mistress, she destroyed other people's families without knowing it.
But that week, she knew it, but she was so blinded by love that she really believed that man's lies.
She rushed over, slapped the man hard and apologized to his wife.
She left that city and returned to Jiangcheng with a scarred heart.
Fast forward a few years, and she never made soup for anyone again.
That past was also sealed away by her.
At this moment, Nancy stood in the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients for the hangover soup.
She doesn't cook, but she always keeps ingredients for hangover soup in the refrigerator.
This was the first time Gu Yanzhi had a habit that made her feel uncomfortable after drinking too much.
After cleaning, I was slicing ginger when there was a sound on the door.
Gu Yan came up.
Hearing the noise, Nancy didn't go out to greet her. Gu Yanzhi came to her house more than once or twice. He moved his hands faster and said to the man outside, "Go and lie down on the sofa for a while."
The words have not yet fallen.
There was a "clang" sound.
It was Gu Yanzhi who couldn't stand firmly while changing his shoes and bumped into a shelf.
The vase on the clip shook.
Landed.
There was a "crash" sound.
This movement made Nancy stop making hangover soup, dropped the knife, and rushed out of the kitchen.
At a glance, he saw Gu Yanzhi stepping on the debris.
"Gu Yanzhi."
Nancy rushed to his side immediately.
One hand grabbed his arm and put it on her shoulder, and the other hand grabbed his waist and pulled him back, tearing him to pieces.
"This way."
Nancy helped the person walk around the debris and toward the sofa.
Being so close, the smell of alcohol hit your nostrils.
When he first got divorced, he didn't drink too much once or twice. He drank most of the time at her house.
When she had time, she would have a few drinks with him. If she had to rush over a manuscript, he would drink alone outside while she continued to work on the manuscript.
He drank too much and often stayed here overnight.
If he doesn't lie on his side, he sleeps on the sofa.
But this was the first time he drank too much and drove here by himself.
The strong smell of alcohol on his body made it obvious that he had drank too much.
Just like that, you still dare to drive.
Because of Nancy's experience, once she came out of the relationship with the mistress, she became much calmer.
The tragic past made her much calmer in the face of many things.
The same goes for getting along with Gu Yanzhi, and he never loses his temper.
This was the first time that I got angry, couldn't control it, and blurted out.
"Gu Yanzhi, are you a three-year-old child? Don't you know how much you drank? You dare to drive after drinking so much. Don't you know how dangerous drunk driving is? You -"
When they were annoyed, the two of them had already arrived at the sofa.
Nancy's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Gu Yanzhi, and he raised his eyes to look at her.
That look in her eyes made Nancy choke.
The heartbeat is speeding up.
Emotions are fermenting quietly. Facing a man who has a woman he deeply loves and cannot forget in his heart, she has no other choice but to control and suppress him.
Being looked at by Gu Yanzhi, he forgot to think for a moment and what he wanted to say.
Under the light, she could clearly see the pain and struggle in his eyes.
I haven't seen such a sad look in his eyes for a long time, and I haven't seen him lose control like this.
A year ago, she was still very calm when she saw him like this.
But seeing him like this now, her heart tightened instantly.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Gu Yanzhi didn't give her a chance, and reached out to pinch her chin.
She also supported him to facilitate his movements.
The body leaned towards her.
Nancy was tall but could not bear the full weight of a tall, strong man.
She didn't stand firm and took a small step back to one side.
His calves touched the sofa, and his whole body was pushed down by Gu Yanzhi on the sofa.
This time was not like the first time. After Gu Yanzhi overwhelmed her, he gave her a buffer time.
This time, Gu Yanzhi pressed on her and followed her with an overwhelming kiss.
