After hearing Gu Hecheng's words, Shen Qianqian looked at him speechlessly. She didn't know how to react for a long time.
"Get some rest. I'll go buy you some food," Gu Hecheng's smile faded a little. He seemed to be in low spirits as he lowered his eyes.
Shen Qianqian didn't say anything. She watched as Gu Hecheng left her room.
"Do you know how hard it was for me to hold myself back …" Gu Hecheng closed the door and looked up. When he thought about how he still had so many questions to ask, he felt as if his heart was being pulled by a string. It was so uncomfortable that he almost suffocated.
When Gu Hecheng returned to the ward with breakfast, Shen Qianqian was quietly receiving an IV drip. He didn't say much. He just sat quietly by the side and looked at Shen Qianqian quietly.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable under Gu Hecheng's gaze. She asked curiously, "Do you have something to say?"
Actually, when Shen Qianqian saw how he looked like he wanted to say something, she knew that he definitely had something on his mind. However, he didn't say anything. This made Shen Qianqian feel a little uncomfortable.
Shen Qianqian had been talking for a long time, but Gu Hecheng didn't say anything. After a long time, he looked at Shen Qianqian and smiled. He shook his head and said, "Nothing."
"…" Shen Qianqian frowned. However, Gu Hecheng didn't look at her anymore. He stood up and helped Shen Qianqian set the table properly.
"Eat something," Gu Hecheng didn't look up when he spoke. This made Shen Qianqian feel a little strange.
"Oh yes, after I finish my injection, I'll go to the set for filming. I'll ask my assistant to follow me. You don't have to …"
"Pa!"
Before Shen Qianqian could finish speaking, Gu Hecheng suddenly threw the spoon on the table in a fit of rage. He looked at Shen Qianqian angrily and said, "I told you not to go. You should rest well now."
"Gu Hecheng, you …" Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng speechlessly. She didn't know what right he had to interfere in her affairs.
"I know what you're thinking right now. You think that I have no right to control you." Gu Hecheng lowered his head and helped her check the IV drip. He then continued, "But from now on, even if you don't want to, I will continue to stay by your side."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa and looked at her calmly.
Shen Qianqian was so angry at Gu Hecheng that she was speechless. But now, she could only sit there and do nothing.
Three days later, Shen Qianqian was discharged from the hospital. Although the doctor told Shen Qianqian to rest more, she still insisted on filming.
During those three days, Gu Hecheng practically stayed by her side to take care of her. Although Shen Qianqian rejected him several times, in the end, she felt that it was meaningless and let him do as he pleased.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Hecheng sent Shen Qianqian and her assistant back to the hotel, but he didn't go in with them.
Gu Hecheng stopped the assistant and said, "Wait a minute. I won't be around for a few days. Take good care of her."
Before the assistant could say anything, Gu Hecheng had already left.
"..." The assistant stared blankly at Gu Hecheng's back as he left. After a while, Shen Qianqian turned around and asked her, "Why aren't you coming in? What are you doing?"
"Oh, okay." The assistant walked in thoughtfully. She couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to President Gu? Why did he leave in such a hurry?"
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips. She turned around and said, "Why do you care about him?"
"Don't you care?" The assistant muttered to herself. "But why do I feel like President Gu is a different person after he came back?"
"You've become a different person? What have you become?" Shen Qianqian asked casually.
"Well, it feels like …" The assistant thought about it carefully. "Although President Gu is still as worried about you and takes care of you as usual, sometimes I see the way he looks at you. It's like he's trying to hide something … It's like you've done something wrong to him, and it's hard to get used to."
"What?" Shen Qianqian was about to take a glass of water when she suddenly froze. She turned around and asked her assistant in disbelief, "Did you really see it?"
"Yes. What's wrong? Don't tell me you really..." Before the assistant could finish her sentence, Shen Qianqian suddenly turned around and looked up. "You can leave first. I just remembered that I have something to do."
Before the assistant could react, Shen Qianqian had already pushed her out of the room.
After closing the door, Shen Qianqian took out her cell phone like a frightened bird. Although she wasn't sure why Gu Hecheng was looking at her like that, it was easy for her to panic when she had a secret in her heart.
"Mother Liu?" Shen Qianqian returned to the bedroom. She lowered her voice and said, "Tell me honestly. Has Gu Hecheng been looking for you recently?"
"No. What happened?" Mother Liu, who was cleaning the house, asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Shen Qianqian thought about it for a moment. She still felt uneasy. "Then, has anything strange happened recently?"
Auntie Liu thought about it carefully, then shook her head and replied firmly, "No, I don't."
"..."
"Could it be that we've been exposed?" Aunt Liu asked worriedly as she had a flash of inspiration.
Shen Qianqian shook her head and said uncertainly, "I don't know, but I don't think so. Don't worry too much. I called you to remind you not to come into contact with Gu Hecheng in the future. Other than going to school, I can only trouble you to guard Xiao Kong closely."
Mother Liu listened to the trembling and anxious voice on the other end of the phone. Her heart ached for Shen Qianqian. She said, "Don't worry. I will protect Xiao Kong."
"That's good." Shen Qianqian finally let out a long sigh of relief and temporarily calmed down.
After Gu Hecheng returned home, he first met with the private investigator. He learned that the security measures at Xiao Kong's school were very good. Furthermore, Mother Liu was always by his side. The private investigator did not have a chance to get close. Hence, he could not get any evidence.
"Okay, I got it. You can go back first." Gu Hecheng sighed slightly. He waved his hand and let him leave.
Gu Hecheng leaned against the sofa alone. He remained motionless with his eyes closed until the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the house. Then, Lin Jinya called.
"Hecheng, you promised to accompany me to dinner with the famous director today. Don't forget." Lin Jinya's voice was filled with anticipation as she spoke briskly over the phone. Gu Hecheng frowned slightly and replied calmly, "Got it."
Gu Hecheng hung up the phone. Then, he left the office with his car keys. He went downstairs to wait for Lin Jinya at the hotel.
"Hecheng, you can wait for me upstairs. I will be done with my makeup." Lin Jinya's voice was very gentle. However, Gu Hecheng did not find it meaningful.
"It's okay. I will wait downstairs." After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he leaned back in his seat and searched for Shen Qianqian's number on his phone. However, after hesitating for a long time, he still did not call her.
Gu Hecheng held the phone tightly in his hand. He opened the car door and got out of the car to take a breath of fresh air. After a long time, Lin Jinya finally got out of the car.
Lin Jinya was not wearing revealing clothes in the dark of the night. However, it was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort.
Lin Jinya reached out and wanted to hold Gu Hecheng's arm to walk with him. However, Gu Hecheng pushed her hand away.
"Get in the car." Gu Hecheng said indifferently. He did not look at her even when he put on the seat belt.
In the face of such a cold Gu Hecheng, Lin Jinya also felt that she was being snubbed, so she didn't say anything else.
"We are here." Lin Jinya pointed at the glittering hotel not far away. She patted Gu Hecheng's arm gently. Gu Hecheng, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses.
After Gu Hecheng stopped the car, Lin Jinya finally could not help but ask, "Hecheng, what's wrong with you? Do you have something on your mind? Why don't you tell me? I can share the burden with you. I … "
"Let's get out of the car. They should be here by now." Gu Hecheng did not wait for Shen Qianqian to finish her sentence. He changed the topic and got out of the car before her.
"Hecheng …" Lin Jinya had no choice but to follow him out of the car. "Wait for me."
When Gu Hecheng and Lin Jinya pushed open the door of the hotel room, they saw that there were already six or seven people waiting inside.
Gu Hecheng forced his cold expression to soften a little. He sat down with Lin Jinya.
"President Gu, I didn't expect you to come. Let me propose a toast to you first." Director Wu came up to propose a toast. Gu Hecheng frowned and said politely and distantly, "Director Wu, it's not that I don't want to give you face. It's just that I haven't been feeling well recently. I'm taking medicine and can't drink."
"…" Gu Hecheng's words made Director Wu dumbfounded. Anyone with a brain could tell from Gu Hecheng's expression that Gu Hecheng just did not want to drink. He was already giving him face by finding an excuse.
Director Wu withdrew his hand awkwardly. He smiled at Lin Jinya and changed the topic. "Since President Gu doesn't want to drink, Miss Lin can at least have a drink."
When Lin Jinya heard this, she naturally declined politely and poured herself a glass of wine. She walked up to Director Wu and exchanged glasses with him.
The atmosphere of the dinner party had become lively. However, among the lively crowd, Gu Hecheng seemed to be isolated from the world. However, no one could say anything because of his status.
After sitting for a while, Gu Hecheng lost his patience. He got up and walked up to Director Wu. He whispered a few words in his ear and then left.
