C127 You're Tempted?
Ji Nian's injuries needed to be observed in the hospital for a day. After Gu Chen found out that she was hospitalized, he rushed over.
"Why are you so careless?" Gu Chen looked at her feet. She even pulled her ligament? It hurt just thinking about it.
"I was absent-minded when I went down the stairs, so I ended up like this." She did not say that it was because Mu Tingye suddenly called her and gave her a scare. She only blamed herself for thinking too much when she went down the stairs.
"What did the doctor say?" Gu Chen sat down on a chair beside him.
"It's not very serious if you need to rest for five days. You don't need to look very serious."
Ji Nian smiled and teased him. She picked up the apple on the table and said, "I'll peel an apple for you."
Gu Chen took the apple from her hand. "I will do it." His expression was still not good.
Ji Nian sized him up and asked hesitantly, "Gu Chen, what happened to you? Did your work not go smoothly?"
"No." Gu Chen replied coldly and lowered his head to peel the apple.
Ji Nian frowned. He clearly did not look good. How could there be nothing?
She took the half-peeled apple from his hand and pretended to be stern. "Gu Chen, look at me. Tell me honestly what happened?"
Gu Chen finally raised his eyes and looked straight into her eyes. His gentle face was no longer smiling.
The warmth in his eyes was no longer as warm as before. Instead, it was a faint coldness.
Ji Nian was unfamiliar with Gu Chen in front of her. "Gu Chen, you..."
"Ji Nian, you moved?" He suddenly asked.
She was slightly stunned and then felt a little embarrassed. She did not tell him that it was because what happened after the divorce was too urgent.
She was taken away by Mu Tingye and moved into his house. He even put on the engagement ring for her and then wanted to see his grandfather.
These things made her dizzy and confused, so she did not have time to tell him. Moreover, she lived in Mu Tingye's house, so she could not say it out loud.
"Yes, she moved. Because the owner of the house wants to come back and live in the house, he said he wants to take care of the mother in the hospital. I can't take over the house and not move out."
If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have needed to move so quickly.
Gu Chen frowned slightly. "But when I went, I saw the owner of the house looking at the house. The owner said that the person who stayed in the house earlier moved away in a hurry, so he wanted to find someone to rent the house again."
These words completely shocked Ji Nian. Her lips parted slightly and she had an expression of disbelief. She suddenly said urgently, "But Mu Tingye told me that it was his friend's house..."
"Nian Nian!" Gu Chen suddenly interrupted her. There was a hidden anger in his eyes. "How could you believe what that kind of person said? He used the matter of hiring a doctor to force you before and now he used this kind of excuse to lie to you. Why do you still believe him? "
"I..." Ji Nian suddenly lowered her eyes. She also did not know why she believed in him.
At first, she was just a little curious. Mu Tingye was in such a hurry to move her luggage to his house. Everything was so rushed that she could not ask him in detail.
Gu Chen's eyes shrank because of the shining light from the ring on her finger. He slowly pursed his lips. "Did he give the ring to you?"
Ji Nian subconsciously looked at her hand when she heard him. She raised her hand unnaturally to cover the ring on her hand. She did not deny it. "Yes."
After getting a positive answer, Gu Chen took a deep breath and then exhaled deeply. It was as if he had to do this to suppress the sudden turbulence in his chest.
When he looked at Ji Nian again, his eyes were sharp and cold. "Are you moved?"
Ji Nian was shocked by the question. Her mind went blank for a moment when she met his gaze. She actually did not know how to answer.
Gu Chen stared at her without blinking and said unhurriedly, "Because he drove a large number of luxury cars and gave you a romantic flower petal rain. Now he even put on a ring, so you are tempted?" His voice was very cold, with a questioning tone.2
"Ji Nian, did you fall into the illusion that he created for you? Can you turn a blind eye to his tricks?"
He suddenly raised his tone, like an executioner, peeling off the surface of the illusion one by one, revealing the bloody truth.
"He put a ring on you, and you thought he would really marry you. You were so happy that you were going to marry him, weren't you? You have been living such a tough life in a small and powerful family like the Lu family. Do you want to drown yourself in a big family like the Mu family? "
His words were extremely sharp, like a whip that whipped her body.
Ji Nian covered her ears and said, "Don't say anymore, don't say anymore."
Why would it be so sad to hear what he said?
She should be angry that Mu Tingye lied to her or loudly retorted that she did not fall into the illusion, but she realized that she could not refute it.
"I never thought of marrying him, not at all. You know, I have no chance to marry him again."
"Then why are you following him? Living with him? Why don't you directly reject him? "
" I did reject him, I've always rejected him, but... " But he would never listen to her rejection, her rejection was useless to him.
"But what? It's obvious that you're not ruthless enough! Your attitude is not firm enough! " He ruthlessly exposed her. Ji Nian, admit it. You have been bewitched by him.
Ji Nian was suddenly stunned. It turned out that she was not ruthless enough. She suddenly clenched her fist. "Gu Chen, what do you think I should do?"
The two of them suddenly became silent. He clearly saw the sadness in her eyes. It was as if he was an evil person who wanted to tear apart a pair of bitter mandarin ducks. The bitterness in her eyes was so obvious.
Ji Nian, did you really not realize that you were trapped?
Gu Chen sighed deeply and his voice calmed down. "Nian Nian, either you are a bit selfish and do not care about anything. Go with your feelings and pursue your happiness. What do you mean by rejecting him and being with him at the same time? Or you will completely reject him and stop interacting with him. You can take advantage of the fact that you haven't fallen too deeply into his trap and get out of it, but you will fall too deep into his trap in the future. When you leave, the one who will suffer the most will only be yourself."
Ji Nian clenched her fists tightly. She did not feel any pain even when her nails dug into her palms. Her mind was occupied by two different thoughts. Was she going to reject him completely when she was with him?
Ji Nian only felt that her mind was very chaotic at this moment. She wanted to clear her thoughts but there was nothing she could do.
It was as if she had knocked over the paste and made her brain mush. She could not think of anything clearly, let alone make a choice.
She could only mutter, "But Mu Tingye will not let go. How can I pull out? How should I pull out?" As long as it was in this city or in the country, where could she hide from him?
It had to be said that those powerful and domineering people were sometimes really detestable. You could not avoid him at all.
Their influence could spread rapidly. No matter where they went, it was as if there was an inescapable net that could capture you at any time.
