Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Running Away from Home

Gu Xichen paused, then continued, "With a man like Long Yubei, he can play games, but if you really play with him, you’re bound to lose because he holds the power. He has the right to end the game between you at any time. Don’t think that marrying you means he’s serious. Giving you a ceremony is just changing the form, the nature remains the same. If he wants to end it, a divorce agreement is all it takes. See, it’s that simple. He might fall in love with you sooner or later, but it’s also possible that the game could end before he ever does."

Gu Lili was silent; for a moment, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Sensing that she might be feeling choked up inside, Gu Xichen said, "It’s not like you’re out of options. Don’t worry. If you divorce him, I can marry you right afterwards."

"Who’s worried about that?!" she immediately replied. "I’m not, at all. I’m hanging up now; I need to sleep."

Before Gu Xichen could react, the call was already disconnected.

The phone was set down on the table by Gu Lili. She lay there, not wanting to think about anything, closing her eyes and forcing herself to sleep.

...

When Long Yubei returned, he found the door had been locked from the inside.

He didn’t force his way in, but instead slept in the guest room.

Therefore, when Gu Lili woke up in the morning, she realized that he hadn’t come back to sleep.

Did he not come back all night because of this incident?

Gu Lili was livid with anger, starting her day with smoldering frustration. She grabbed her bag and went downstairs.

Long Yubei was in the side hall having breakfast and saw her leaving the house.

By the time he went out, she had already driven off.

Gu Lili ate out on the street and then went straight back to Xiliang Mountain.

She turned off her phone, closed the big door, and planned to stay there for a short while.

Early in the morning, Liang He’s nanny car arrived at the agency’s doorstep.

Shi Xiaotian followed him, and together they went to President Su’s office.

Little did they know, upon entering, they would find Sun Qianqian there as well.

Seeing her, Liang He wore an indifferent expression and sat down next to her, turning his attention to the opposite President Su, to immediately clear his own name, "You’re not here to question me, are you? I saw the news this morning; it’s got nothing to do with me."

"Is it really not leaked by you?" President Su asked. "Apart from you and your agent, no one else knew about Qianqian and Producer Zhou’s hotel incident. How did it make the news?"

"President Su, you know my reputation. Could it not have been that gossip-loving Producer Zhou who leaked it himself?"

"That’s very possible. I just called you in to ask, no suspicion intended."

As soon as President Su finished speaking, Sun Qianqian couldn’t help but shoot Liang He a disdainful look, "Nine out of ten, it was you who deliberately leaked it. Aren’t you just infatuated with me? I’ve never responded to you. Done in by your frustration and unable to swallow your pride after finding out about Producer Zhou and me, right?"

"Infatuated with you? You wish. I was just looking out for you because you’re from the same company. Do you really think of yourself as a precious flower? Spare me. Someone like you, a broken branch and wilted leaf, shouldn’t act so high and mighty. You’re not even as attractive as my agent."

"You’re lying!"

"I’m not." He would never betray the nobility of his pride, his past feelings.

"Alright, that’s enough," President Su waved his hand, "let’s stop talking about it. From now on, no one is allowed to bring it up again. I’ve already had someone handle it. Liangzi, because of the mess you made crashing the hotel that time, Producer Zhou stopped contacting Qianqian after that, and the lead actress role was scrapped too."
