Chapter 17: No boyfriend
17. No boyfriend
Even if she “loved” him madly under the influence of the plot, her heart shouldn’t fall for him.
So what if he behaved abnormally? So what if he was gentle to her?
Pei Siyuan didn’t love her in the past, didn’t love her in their previous lives, and wouldn’t love her in this life. Even if she did her best, his heart wouldn’t be moved at all. Wasn’t this the truth she understood a long time ago?
She shouldn’t be like this.
When she was with Pei Siyuan in the morning, all his misunderstandable actions made her excited, she felt someone had put a little rabbit in her heart. It bounced around in her heart, scratching her heart, but now, the little rabbit was invisibly choked, laid dying on her heart, no longer able to move.
She even felt herself shivering with cold. Her will and body seemed to be viciously torn apart by someone. As if she had returned to the day when she and Pei Siyuan got the marriage certificate in the previous life. At that time, when he said he really wanted to be with her, cajoling her to forget everything in the past, she naively thought that her wish had come true, and faced with his tenderness, she was so happy that she could not wait to dedicate herself and her heart to him.
Looking back now, that was actually the warmest moment in her previous life when she was with Pei Siyuan.
However, that warm moment lasted only half a day. In the afternoon, she saw the news of her brother’s accident on TV. Somehow, a heavy truck suddenly lost control and crashed into her brother’s car, resulting in a serious car accident. When she arrived at the hospital, she got the sad news that he was seriously injured and had to be amputated.
And the driver who caused the accident has already died on the spot.
“Strange, that truck has been driving fine, and the test results also showed that the driver didn’t drink alcohol, so why did it suddenly crash?”
“Yeah, it’s really weird, it doesn’t look like an accident at all. Look at the surveillance records, the truck seems to be heading for the victim. I believed it was purposely done… unfortunately he’s dead and there’s no proof now.”
“You mean that the victim was subject to the revenge of an enemy? Shh, you can’t talk nonsense like this…”
Hearing the whispers of the nurses in the corridor, her heart felt as if it had fallen into a cold abyss.
Her elder brother has always been gentle and polite, and he was just an ordinary teacher. How could he make any enemies?
If there was such a person, that person could only be …
… Pei Siyuan.
The man who just got a marriage certificate with her in the morning, her current husband.
Was it him? Could it be him? But he said his vows in the morning so faithfully, looking at her with tender eyes and such sincerity that it didn’t seem like a lie, was it all a performance?
After she signed the consent form for the surgery, she left the hospital in a daze. She didn’t even know how she got to Pei Siyuan’s company and how she rushed into his office. When she saw the man, she was still holding on to an expectation in her heart, expecting that she was just thinking too much, expecting that it was all just an accident.
“Brother had an accident… Do you know?”
She stared at Pei Siyuan, unwilling to miss any expression on his face, but he just raised his head calmly and answered her in a voice without any fluctuation: “I know. “
“The driver who caused the accident is dead… I just went to the police station to watch the surveillance video of that section of the road. The car was driving fine, why did it suddenly hit my brother?” Facing Pei Siyuan’s silence, her heart seemed to be clutched by a big hand, and she was almost breathless in pain, “Did someone deliberately target him? Tell me, I don’t understand, I really don’t understand…”
Pei Siyuan just asked her back: “Who do you think that person could be?”
“I don’t know…” She shook her head, and she didn’t have time to care about the tears that came down from her eyes, and asked him, each word came out of her lips with great difficulty, “Anyway, that person won’t be you…right?”
Explain, please…
As long as he denies it…
Pei Siyuan closed his eyes and turned his face away, as if he didn’t want to look at her at all, “It’s me.”
How could a person’s voice be cold to this extent….
In the morning, he still spoke to her with such tenderness and stared at her with such loving eyes, but after a few hours, he turned back to the indifferent and cold look he used to give her. She was familiar with Pei Siyuan, but at this moment, she only felt as if she had never known him before.
It turned out that all the warmth and all the love she thought was just a means he used to deceive and retaliate against her. He knew what she wanted most was his love, so he used such a way to pull her down from the clouds in an instant, making her fall into the abyss, and shatter her to pieces.
“Why?” She felt her blood was being drained in an instant, “So you’ve been lying to me, so you still hate me so much… Pei Siyuan, you hate me, why can’t you come to me? My brother… he is innocent! He used to be your friend too, and he didn’t do anything to hurt you… How could you be so ruthless and heartless as to do such a thing? Why don’t you just kill me…kill me, and won’t this all be over?”
Her words somehow touched his sore spot, he suddenly slammed the pen in his hand hard against the wall, pushed away the chair and strode towards her. She was forced back by him and finally fell to the ground.
“No reason. I just wanted to, so I did it.” He was so tall. She looked up desperately, and could only see his chin, and saw him condescendingly looking down at her with a gaze that seemed to contain ice blades, “Gu Ningyou, you don’t think I really fell in love with you, do you?”
“So all these days, everything you did was just you acting, even if it’s just the slightest bit of love… You’ve never had it?”
The corners of Pei Siyuan’s mouth hooked up an arc, but it made her tremble and frightened, even if it was just to express his ridicule to her: “Yes, even for a second, it has never happened.”
“Satisfied with getting the answer you want? Get out when you’re satisfied, and don’t get in the way of my work here.”
In the next few days, her father’s company was attacked and suppressed by him in all directions. She and he had only been a married couple in name for less than a month, before he forced her to voluntarily send in divorce papers, with all the assets going to him.
This marriage, which she thought was based on love, ended up with such a disastrous ending.
Pei Siyuan didn’t love her. The only emotion he had towards her was hatred. He was fed up with her. Everything he did to her was for revenge. How many times would she have to go through this truth before she could not forget it?
How could she be spinelessly moved by the little bit of tenderness he showed to her in this life?
It’s enough for a moth to fly into a flame once…
The cold hand was suddenly covered with warmth, like the first sun after a heavy snowfall, dispelling all the coldness in the world, “Xiaoyou, how come your hands are so cold?”
Gu Ningyou came back to her senses, and saw Gu Ningcheng looking at her worriedly. Her hands were wrapped in his big, warm hands, and the warmth spread from the palm of his hand to her whole body. Even her heart seems to have warm currents running through it.
“I know you love beauty but why do you wear so little. Are you waiting to catch a cold and get sick to learn your lesson?”
“This is the most popular dress now, okay? I don’t want to be dressed up in dull clothes every day.” Gu Ningyou expressed her dissatisfaction, she obediently draped the clothes he handed over, “Nagging all day, I’m getting annoyed by you.”
“I’m your brother, of course I care more about you.” Gu Ningcheng has always spoiled his younger sister. He already has a good temper and when facing Gu Ningyou, he seems to have no temper at all, “When you have a boyfriend in the future, your brother won’t be the one to care about you. Xiaoyou, you haven’t been in a relationship recently, right? If you do, you must tell your brother. Oh, your brother has to check him for you.”
Boyfriend? She does have one, but it was forced by her, and now she just wanted to part ways with him, so there was no need to let her brother know, right?
Gu Ningyou pretended to think for a while, and then replied: “Um… me? I don’t have a boyfriend yet. If I have, I will definitely tell you.”
