Lin Jinya adjusted her mood and said half-jokingly, "Hecheng, are you serious? Do you not want to get engaged to me …?"
"Forget it, forget it. You've already agreed to help me. Alright, we'll get engaged after you're done with your work." Lin Jinya's lips twitched stiffly.
Gu Hecheng's attitude towards her was getting colder and colder. Although Lin Jinya would not give up on forcing him to marry her, she did not dare to place all her hopes on this matter. She had to have something firmly in her hands, and that was obviously fame and status.
Lin Jinya stood in front of the mirror and looked at her face that was distorted due to anger. She narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Gu Hecheng had been coming home late recently. She had to take the initiative to win his heart again.
Gu Hecheng finally came home at almost midnight.
Lin Jinya stood in front of the window in the pitch-black room. She watched Gu Hecheng's bright headlights turn off and listened to his footsteps going upstairs.
The entire villa fell into silence. Lin Jinya could clearly hear Gu Hecheng's footsteps coming from the stairs and corridor.
Lin Jinya seized the opportunity and opened the door. She suddenly ran over and hugged Gu Hecheng's waist from behind.
She rubbed her soft body against Gu Hecheng's and whispered in his ear with a seductive voice, "Hecheng, you are finally back. Do you know that I have been waiting for you?"
Although it was a seductive voice, Gu Hecheng secretly frowned when he heard it.
A cold look appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the hand around his waist.
"Jinyang, why are you still awake?" Gu Hecheng tried to sound calm. He reached out and pulled Lin Jinya's hand away forcefully. He took a step back and deliberately put some distance between them.
Lin Jinya noticed Gu Hecheng's subtle movements. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile on her face. She threw herself into his arms again and said softly, "Hecheng, I know you are tired, so you can vent your feelings on me. You don't have to endure so much."
Gu Hecheng furrowed his brows in displeasure at her blatant words. Before he could say anything, Lin Yinya impatiently covered his lips with hers.
Gu Hecheng was about to push her away when Lin Jinya moved her kiss to his ear and said flirtatiously, "Hecheng, if you want me, I am willing to be your woman …"
"Jinyang, are you done being crazy?" Gu Hecheng pushed Lin Jinya away forcefully. He frowned and said unhappily, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Gu Hecheng reprimanded her. Lin Jinya felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hecheng, why are you so angry? We are going to get married sooner or later. What's the difference? You said you love me …"
When Lin Jinya mentioned the word 'love', Gu Hecheng felt a headache coming on.
Gu Hecheng felt as if he was walking in a maze. He knew what he was really thinking, but he felt trapped and couldn't find a way out.
On one hand, Shen Qianqian rejected him coldly. On the other hand, Lin Jinya was passionate.
What was even more ridiculous was that he had once vowed that he would love Lin Jinya for the rest of his life and that it would never change. He had even maliciously hurt Shen Qianqian because of that. Now, everything seemed to have changed.
From Gu Hecheng's point of view, he seemed to have fallen into the trap he had set for himself.
After years of persistence, he finally got back Lin Jinya. But he found that he couldn't love her, nor could he bear to abandon her. As for Shen Qianqian, he always subconsciously tried to get close to her, but she was so far away.
"Jinyang, don't be like this. You have to take good care of your body." Gu Hecheng's eyes were emotionless. He looked at her coldly and said, "It's getting late. You should rest well. Don't catch a cold when you sleep."
"Hecheng! Hecheng! " Lin Jinya clenched her hands tightly. She looked at Gu Hecheng's back as he turned and left in a hurry. She didn't even feel the pain of her fingernails digging into her palms.
Lin Jinya woke up slowly as the dazzling sunlight shone through the curtains.
She subconsciously reached out to block the sunlight and got up slowly.
Lin Jinya picked up her cell phone and saw that it was getting late. She remembered Gu Hecheng's perfunctory attitude last night and immediately sat up straight.
No, she had to go downstairs and ask Gu Hecheng when he would arrange a dinner with the director for her.
When Lin Jinya went downstairs, Gu Hecheng was still eating.
"Hecheng, you're so early." Lin Jinya tried to strike up a conversation.
"Yes." Gu Hecheng's ears moved slightly. He didn't even raise his head.
Lin Jinya was a little displeased by Gu Hecheng's cold attitude, but she endured it for the sake of the upcoming conversation.
"Hecheng, didn't you promise me last night that you would take me to see the director? When can you take me there?" Lin Jinya had just sat down. She couldn't wait to ask before her hand touched the plate that Mother Liu handed to her.
"Yes." Gu Hecheng's hand paused. He thought of the scene last night and immediately raised his head. "Got it. I'll take you to see the director after I finish the project in a couple of days."
Lin Jinya felt more confident in Gu Hecheng when she saw how confident he was.
"Hecheng, you are so nice." Lin Jinya beamed with joy and took hold of his arm like a little girl.
The corners of Gu Hecheng's mouth twitched unnaturally. Mother Liu pretended that she didn't see it.
"Okay, I'm full. Eat more." Gu Hecheng pulled his hand away without a trace and turned to leave.
Because of Gu Hecheng's words, Lin Jinya waited patiently at first. However, after three or four days, she became more and more suspicious.
In the past few days, Gu Hecheng didn't take the initiative to mention this matter. He even deliberately delayed coming home late, as if he wanted to distance himself from her.
At dinner time, Lin Jinya sat alone at the dining table again. She was in no mood to look at the sumptuous dishes on the table.
In the brightly lit kitchen, she sat alone, like a canary that had been forgotten by the rich.
This thought caused Lin Jinya's heart to be filled with hostility.
Just as she clenched her fists and decided to nail Gu Hecheng in her heart, Mother Liu suddenly appeared in front of her. She vented all her anger on Mother Liu.
"Mother Liu, come here!" When Lin Jinya's sharp voice sounded, Mother Liu instinctively knew that Lin Jinya was probably going to cause trouble again.
As expected, before Auntie Liu could walk in front of Lin Jinya, Lin Jinya's disdainful and sarcastic voice rang out.
"Mother Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you starting to neglect me when Hecheng is not around every day? What are you doing?" Lin Jinya's voice sounded very irritable.
Mother Liu glanced at the dishes on the table and said calmly, "Miss Lin, I don't know what's wrong. Isn't it the same as usual? Didn't you eat well before?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?" Lin Jinya stood up angrily and stared at Mother Liu.
Mother Liu raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at Lin Jinya. "Miss Lin, I don't know what you mean either."
"You …" Lin Jinya, who was ignored, was so angry that she was at a loss for words. She raised her hand and swept all the dishes on the table to the ground.
The sound of the broken dishes startled Mother Liu. Lin Jinya slammed the table and shouted at her, "I don't like these dishes at all. Since Hecheng hasn't been home recently, why don't you ask me what I like to eat? You even said that you're ignoring me!"
"Miss Lin, aren't you being too unreasonable?" Mother Liu was speechless. She didn't expect Lin Jinya's excuses to be so ridiculous.
"Mother Liu, don't talk to me about this. Yes, so what if I'm making a mountain out of a molehill? Anyway, you're unhappy with me. I didn't say anything about this, right?" Lin Jinya looked coldly at Mother Liu.
After a moment of silence, Mother Liu suddenly smiled and said, "Since Miss Lin knows about it and wanted to drive me away, then I'm being too thick-skinned to stay here. Don't worry, I won't stay here anymore this time."
Mother Liu glared fiercely at Lin Jinya, who was speechless. Just as she was about to turn around, Gu Hecheng's voice came from behind her.
"What happened?" Gu Hecheng glanced at the mess on the floor and walked in to look at the two of them.
"He … Hecheng …" Lin Jinya panicked and looked at Hecheng, not knowing what to do. "Hecheng, why are you back so early today?"
"Shouldn't I be back early?" Gu Hecheng said with a hint of disgust. He raised his eyebrows coldly and looked at Lin Jinya.
Lin Jinya was shocked by the look in his eyes. After a shiver, she quickly turned her gaze elsewhere.
"Mother Liu, tell me, what's going on?" Gu Hecheng looked at Mother Liu. In fact, he could guess what was going on even if she didn't say anything.
Gu Hecheng thought that Mother Liu would take this opportunity to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't. After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "Sir, I don't think it's suitable for me to continue working in this house. I'd better leave."
"Mother Liu …" Gu Hecheng frowned slightly and looked at Mother Liu, who he had tried so hard to persuade to stay.
"Sir, this time, I've made up my mind. You don't have to trouble yourself to make me stay." Mother Liu lowered her head slightly and looked as respectful as ever.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Gu Hecheng asked again.
