"I already have enough money to spend. Besides, she can make money on her own."
If it were someone else, he might think twice about it if He Yue said that she wanted to scam him of his money. However, if it were Jiujiu, he wouldn't believe it at all.
Not to mention Jiujiu's ability to make money on her own, he didn't believe that Jiujiu would covet his money.
Hearing Gu Qingzhou say that she could make money on her own, He Yue's eyes flickered slightly. After a while, she asked in a roundabout way, "If you want me to help you prepare, you have to tell me who she is, right?"
Hearing that He Yue wanted to help him, Gu Qingzhou opened his mouth and was about to say Jiujiu's name. However, he suddenly thought of Jiujiu's words that he couldn't tell anyone else.
During this period of time, no one had a deeper understanding of Jiujiu's character than Gu Qingzhou.
Jiujiu said that she would break up with him if he dared to tell anyone else about their relationship. Gu Qingzhou immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Get ready first. I'll tell you when the time comes."
Gu Qingzhou's hesitation had a different meaning in He Yue's eyes.
He Yue, who was originally feeling sour because Gu Qingzhou kept it from her, felt even more upset. He Yue smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You don't trust me, do you?"
He Yue and Gu Qingzhou had known each other for almost ten years. Of course, they had feelings for each other. However, Gu Qingzhou was mostly grateful to He Yue. As for He Yue's feelings for Gu Qingzhou, Gu Qingzhou didn't know.
However, seeing He Yue looking at him with a self-deprecating expression, Gu Qingzhou didn't feel particularly good either.
However, Gu Qingzhou still drew a clear line between his friends and his girlfriend.
Therefore, even though Gu Qingzhou was a little upset because of He Yue's reaction, he still apologized to her in a low voice and refused to say Jiujiu's name.
Gu Qingzhou's apology made He Yue feel even more disgusted with the girlfriend whom she didn't know the name of.
He Yue looked down and quickly went through the list of women that Gu Qingzhou had come into contact with during this period of time. All of a sudden, she thought of Li Ziyou whom the reporters had asked about just now.
He Yue asked tentatively, "Is it Li Ziyou?"
Gu Qingzhou's expression did not change in the face of He Yue's probing. He simply said, "I won't tell you. You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll make the arrangements myself."
Gu Qingzhou then stood up from the couch and glanced at He Yue. "I'm going to take a break for a month after filming this drama. I still have something to attend to, so I'll get going now. You should go home early too."
After saying that, Gu Qingzhou picked up his car keys and sped away.
Gu Qingzhou drove straight to Jiujiu's studio.
Jiujiu's studio was located near Jiujiu's apartment. Gu Qingzhou gave Jiujiu a call to inform her that he had already finished filming and was waiting for her downstairs. He then got into the car and waited for Jiujiu to come down.
Soon, Jiujiu made her way downstairs, dressed in her work attire.
Upon sight of the familiar BMW, Jiujiu knocked on the mirror of the passenger's seat, after which she heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
Jiujiu opened the door and got inside the car. Staring at Gu Qingzhou's dark eye circles, she pinched Gu Qingzhou's face sympathetically and said, "Didn't you say that you're not in a hurry? Why haven't you been resting well these past few days? "
"I want to go on a vacation with you as soon as possible." Gu Qingzhou abruptly turned around and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. He then lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu on the lips forcefully. Feeling the softness of Jiujiu's lips and the faint fragrance coming from her body, his heart that had been pounding wildly suddenly found a place to settle down and calmed down.
Sensing Gu Qingzhou's strong attachment to her, Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. "Let's go home first. I'll cook something for you to nourish your body. I still have something to attend to at my studio. Can we go there in three days?"
"Sure." Gu Qingzhou was going on a month-long vacation this time. Besides, he could spend the next three days with Jiujiu. Hence, he obviously could afford to wait.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiujiu kissed Gu Qingzhou's lips in appreciation and told him to drive to the entrance of the supermarket. She then alighted from the car to buy some ingredients that Gu Qingzhou liked to eat before returning to the apartment with him.
In fact, according to the normal progress of filming, Gu Qingzhou would have to stay on set for another week. However, Gu Qingzhou wanted to be with Jiujiu as soon as possible. Hence, he had been catching up with the filming progress during this period of time. Hence, he was mentally and physically exhausted.
Not long after they arrived at Jiujiu's home, Gu Qingzhou leaned against the couch and fell asleep.
Jiujiu brushed her fingers across Gu Qingzhou's dark eye circles. At the thought of what Director Li had told her about Gu Qingzhou's crazy progress during filming, she bent forward and kissed Gu Qingzhou's lips. She then went to the bedroom to grab a blanket and covered Gu Qingzhou with it. She then headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
On the other hand, He Yue's eyes turned gloomy the moment she saw the photo of Jiujiu in her hand.
When Gu Qingzhou woke up, he could hear the sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board. The sound was not particularly loud and it was not noisy at all. Instead, it was rhythmic.
Gu Qingzhou got up from the couch and sat on it to ease the numbness in his limbs. He then walked towards the kitchen.
Due to the fact that he had tried to help her several times before, Gu Qingzhou did not step forward. Instead, he stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Jiujiu cook.
The soup was almost done. She just needed to stir-fry two more dishes.
Jiujiu gestured for Gu Qingzhou to bring the soup that was being kept warm over a small fire to the dining table while she began stir-frying the dishes.
By the time she was done, Gu Qingzhou had already brought the dishes to the dining table.
After having his fill, Gu Qingzhou placed the dirty dishes into the dishwasher and began watching television in the living room with Jiujiu in his arms.
It was a movie that Gu Qingzhou starred in, in which he played the role of a ruthless swordsman.
Jiujiu watched as Gu Qingzhou abandoned his wife, who had just given birth to his child, and left without looking back. She looked up at Gu Qingzhou's stubbled face and poked it. She said, "If you dare to do that to me, I'll strangle your son to death before committing suicide."
"You won't." Gu Qingzhou pulled Jiujiu into his arms and lowered his head to kiss Jiujiu's cheek. He said, "If I have to choose between you and someone else, I'll definitely choose you."
"What if I tell you not to act?" Jiujiu abruptly sat up in Gu Qingzhou's arms and asked in a serious manner.
Gu Qingzhou did not expect Jiujiu to ask such a question. He even had to make a choice between Jiujiu and acting. After being stunned for a moment, Gu Qingzhou hurriedly said, "I'll choose you."
"Really?" Jiujiu asked with raised brows. She was obviously in disbelief.
Gu Qingzhou pulled Jiujiu into his arms and lowered his head to kiss Jiujiu's forehead. He said softly, "I entered the entertainment industry because I like acting. Now that I've already won all the awards in the country, I've already achieved the goal that I set for myself. It doesn't matter if I can act or not, but there's only one you in this world."
