“Stay away from me. I never want to see you again.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was threatening as she looked into Gu Zhengrong’s eyes. At this moment, she actually missed that familiar feeling.
“Xiaoyu, do you still remember this place? This is where we first met. Although you were together with Pei Ge at that time and I only had eyes for her, you must not know that I remember that you were wearing a white knee-length dress.”
As Gu Zhengrong continued talking to himself, Tang Xiaoyu’s memories slowly opened up. Of course, she remembered this place. In her dreams after meeting Gu Zhengrong, she was unwilling to wake up many times.
However, when she woke up, she realized that there was nothing, not even Gu Zhengrong’s scent in the air.
“So what? I don’t remember anymore. What’s the point of saying all this? Do you want me back or prove to me that your brain is better than mine?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Zhengrong, unable to hide the fact that she was moved.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhengrong did not raise his head to meet Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes. Instead, he looked at the sparkling sea in front of him and said softly, “You said that you like to look at the sea, the blue sky and white clouds. I once mocked you for liking things that are too simple. It was only later that I realized that it was because the things I liked were too difficult. I was not willing to understand my heart. Perhaps it was because of our business relationship that I always felt that others had a motive for getting close to me, but you are different. You are a silly woman who always thinks for others.”
When Gu Zhengrong mentioned Tang Xiaoyu’s good side, his gaze was still fixed ahead. He wanted to see how the sea would not let Tang Xiaoyu forget, or if the sea was filled with Tang Xiaoyu’s presence.
“You’re really interesting. You spent a whole day just to bring me to see the sea and tell me what it was like when you first met me? Gu Zhengrong, you’re really funny. Do you think the sea belongs to your family? Do you think that the whole world will follow you step by step?”
Tang Xiaoyu dissed Gu Zhengrong mercilessly. As long as she saw this man, she could not help but think about the past, his proud and aloof look, and her lonely self in the dark night.
“Don’t say that. I’m not here to remind you of the mistakes I’ve made in the past. I just want you to believe that I can give you a stable home and a future.”
“Your so-called home is to expect me to serve you as though I am your nanny? Do you want me to do things under you just because you gave me a future? Dream on. If a woman is willing to treat me like that, I will definitely want her to treat me wholeheartedly. However, you are not me. You don’t understand how much youth a woman would waste if she was to let you trample on her as you wish. Let me tell you, there is no such woman in this world. If there is, then she must be a fool who doesn’t know anything.”
Tang Xiaoyu tried to persuade him to back off, but the effect was counterproductive. Gu Zhengrong did not hear her and continued, “Xiaoyu, I was indeed insensible back then, but now...”
“Gu Zhengrong, you want to see the sea? I won’t accompany you anymore. See for yourself. I’m going back now. If you’re crazy, can you please not bring me along? I don’t want to be with you at all. Don’t keep coming to find me. If you come to find me again, I’ll really call the police. Let’s just leave today’s matter like this. Don’t think too much about it. Gu Zhengrong, from now on, apart from our business relationship, let’s stop here.”
Tang Xiaoyu opened the car door and was about to leave when she realized that there were no cars passing by the place Gu Zhengrong brought her to. It was the best spot to look at the sea but it was deserted. This was probably one of Gu Zhengrong’s tricks. He purposely found a place and made Tang Xiaoyu have no choice but to take his car back.
However, Tang Xiaoyu did not want Gu Zhengrong to be satisfied. How she was going to go back was her choice. Just as Tang Xiaoyu made up her mind, Gu Zhengrong opened the car door and stood by the side. He said softly, “It’s not that there are no cars passing by here. I bought this place, including the roads here.”
“Are you that rich? Since you’re so rich, why don’t you build a few more primary schools? What’s the use of just buying these roads here? Besides, do you think you’re that great?”
When Tang Xiaoyu heard this, she realized that it was not that she could not go home, but that Gu Zhengrong did not want her to go home at all. He was the one who refused to let her go home.
“You’re too much. How capable do you think you are to buy all the roads here? You’re so generous. Do you think you’re the richest man in the world? Or are you the richest man in Washington? Do you really think you can buy me back with just your money?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s words were laced with thorns as she looked at Gu Zhengrong coldly.
“Xiaoyu, I’ve already said that I only want you to accompany me for a day today. I can accept whatever price you want. No matter what you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you. No matter what you want to do, I can do it with you. However, I only have one request, and that is to have you accompany me. Let alone this highway section, I can even buy this sea.”
“Gu Zhengrong, you’re really amazing. How come I, Tang Xiaoyu, didn’t realize that you actually had this kind of ability before? I don’t know how many people in America have this kind of ability like you. You really surprised me, so what should I do now? Should I beg you to bring me back or should I leave boldly?”
Tang Xiaoyu stood at the same spot as the wind blew her hair. Other than the smell of the sea, there was also the smell of Tang Xiaoyu.
