Gui Yuchen’s mind instantly became a chaotic mess: “So for the past five years, it’s all been wishful thinking on my part! Oh my god, I’m such a fool.”
“That’s not necessarily true, A’chen, don’t get agitated. Although I agreed to go on a blind date, it doesn’t mean it will definitely be successful. Don’t listen to my dad’s nonsense. You’re not without a chance. I have something to do today, how about I treat you to a meal another day?” Qin Jiaojiao gently consoled him.
Gui Yuchen already wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and now that he had an out, he couldn’t wait to leave this place of trouble immediately.
“Jiaojiao, Uncle Qin. I’ll be going now. You two carry on.”
After saying that, Gui Yuchen left without looking back.
After seeing Gui Yuchen walk away, Qin Jiaojiao burst out laughing: “Director Chen, how was my acting? Acting with you, my improvisation didn’t disappoint you, did it?”
Chen Yusheng pinched Qin Jiaojiao’s chest and laughed, “Not bad, not bad! You completely fooled that naive boy. As long as you keep me happy, you won’t have to work at this broken electronics factory anymore. I’ll casually arrange a supporting female role or a third female lead for you, and that will ensure you live a life of luxury for the rest of your life.”
Qin Jiaojiao gave a shallow, seductive smile that made Chen Yusheng utterly enchanted.
“Director Chen, rest assured! Tonight, I’ll make you feel like you’re in heaven.”
The two embraced and entered the Dongfeng Hotel.
And Gui Yuchen, hiding in a corner not far away, just happened to witness this scene.
Although he was a bit far, he didn’t fully hear their conversation.
But Gui Yuchen already knew he had been made a fool of.
He had felt something was off at the time, so he kept an eye out. He turned back and watched for a while longer.
“Damn it! Those scumbags, they were even acting out a scene of a loving father and daughter in front of me, turns out they were just putting on a show to fool me. I’m so damn angry! That manipulative bitch, she spent so much of my money, and now she’s still acting here!”
With a complex mix of emotions, Gui Yuchen, like a defeated rooster, returned to his rented apartment building in a sorry state.
“A’chen, why do you look so down? Isn’t tomorrow a holiday? Come over to my place for dinner tomorrow!”
“Sister Wan’er, I just got played for a fool.”
“Hahaha… Tell me about it, let your sister have a good laugh!”
“Blah blah blah…”
“Blah blah blah blah…”
“That’s how it is, aren’t I so stupid?”
“Tsk! What’s so special about that? I was also played for a fool by my ex-husband back then. Otherwise, how could I be so poor that all I have left is this building? Come home with your sister tonight, and I’ll make you happy, how about it?”
“Sister Wan’er, are you serious?”
“Nonsense, when do I have time to joke with you? You’re so handsome, it’s such a waste to be idle, isn’t it?”
“Okay! Tonight, I’ll sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman.”
Li Wan’er pulled open the door of a black Hongqi H9 car.
“Get in! I’ll take you to my villa. I live alone now.”
Gui Yuchen hesitated for a moment, but seeing Li Wan’er’s sincere eyes, he finally got into the passenger seat. The car slowly started and drove towards a luxurious villa in the suburbs.
Along the way, the two chatted very congenially. Li Wan’er, with her unique sense of humor, gradually dispelled the gloom in Gui Yuchen’s heart.
Gui Yuchen also discovered that although Li Wan’er seemed carefree on the outside, she was very meticulous and considerate on the inside.
Upon arriving at the villa, Li Wan’er took Gui Yuchen on a tour of the entire house. The luxurious decor and spacious rooms greatly impressed Gui Yuchen.
Li Wan’er suggested they watch a movie together. In the spacious home theater, the two snuggled together, enjoying a rare moment of peace.
After the movie ended, Li Wan’er gently held Gui Yuchen’s hand and softly said, “A’chen, if you ever feel unhappy again, you can always come to me. I’ll always be here for you.”
A warm current surged through Gui Yuchen’s heart. He looked at Li Wan’er gratefully and nodded.
That night, he finally experienced the joy of complete release.
