Chapter 299: Chapter 299: On the Verge of Eruption_1
Seeing my shiny, bald head reflecting off the sleek hotel walls was comparable to a bright light bulb.

For a young lady in her prime, this was undoubtedly a distasteful sight.

But the one who was more shocked was Gu Yuanzhou.

It seemed he hadn’t expected me to shave my head.

During his moment of surprise, I broke out of his grasp, pointed at the door and growled at him, “Get out!”

“You…”

He barely started to speak when he met with my more violent reaction.

“Yes, I’m ruined now! Are you happy? You manipulated Ayu to injure me, to disfigure my face, and then have me crawl like a dog, right? Gu Yuanzhou, are you even human? You’ve used every method to insult a woman, to drive her to death, insanity, breakdown… Are you satisfied now? Delighted to see me in this disgraceful state?”

“Well then, have the guts to kill me! Kill me!”

I sounded somewhat insane.

Yelling at him with a hoarse voice, uttering incoherent curses.

He just stared at me, shocked, unable to say anything for a long time.

Until the sudden ringing of a phone.

He glanced at his mobile, and then walked out while taking the call.

I guess, Ye Mengyan must have called him.

Telling him to handle the situation.

I quickly closed the door, hiding behind it, my heart pounding like a drum!

I was really nervous, not knowing why Gu Yuanzhou came to find me, and really afraid of what terrible things he might do if I provoked him.

The doorbell rang again.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking that Gu Yuanzhou was back.

After a while, there was a knock on the door from outside,

“Miss, your meal has arrived!”

I scrambled to the peephole to check, and seeing that it was indeed a hotel staff member, I finally relaxed and opened the door.

After bringing in the meal, I impulsively shut the door as quickly as possible.

At this point, looking at the steaming food, I had no appetite at all.

After a few absent-minded bites, I went straight to bed to sleep.

In truth, I couldn’t sleep at all.

Tossing and turning in bed.

Constantly on alert, fearing that Gu Yuanzhou would barge in.

In reality, my worry was unnecessary because Gu Yuanzhou didn’t come at all that night.

I only managed to fall asleep at six o’clock the next morning.

And didn’t wake up until after nine.

After a restless night, my face was lined with dark circles under my eyes.

After taking a shower, I put on some simple makeup.

And as soon as I stepped out, I ran into Gu Yuanzhou again.

He was waiting at my door, standing down the hall, smoking.

His gaze was extraordinarily complicated when he looked at me…

I glanced at him and immediately walked in the opposite direction.

I really didn’t feel like dealing with him.

“I’ve seen your contest submissions!”

He said in a deep voice.

I halted, slowly turning my head toward him,

“Oh, was Mr. Gu dazzled by my works and now feels overwhelming shame, thinking about giving up the competition, is that right?”

Gu Yuanzhou extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray…

He walked over to me with his hands in his pockets.

“Those designs… my wife designed them in the past…”

“So, you intend to accuse me of plagiarism again, right?”

I continued to attack him sarcastically.

His reaction was surprisingly calm, his dark eyes gazing at me gloomily.

“To be precise, we co-designed them. One of them, a white wedding dress, she said she wanted our daughter to wear it someday…”

With Gu Yuanzhou reminding me like this, I seemed to remember I did show it to him at one point.

And even asked for some of his suggestions.

I scornfully retorted,

“I was foolish to ask too many questions then, all you did was suggest some alterations to the boutonnière, that doesn’t count as co-designing.”

“You know about these small details?”

“Of course! I also know that you drank too much that day and pushed me down on the sofa…”

A flash of light crossed his dark eyes as he suddenly leaned closer to me, “And then what?”

“Then you ripped off my clothes…”

“What kind of clothes were they?”

“A red, retro-styled nightgown!”

Talking about these intimate details in front of him, I didn’t feel ashamed. After all, he had been my bed partner for many years.

“Did we use protection?”

“The first two times, yes, the last time we didn’t!”

“Why didn’t we?”

“You said you didn’t like wearing raincoats, you preferred the intimacy!”

He suddenly stepped forward, grabbing my hand, tenderly stroking it, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation as he pressed on with his questions.

“One final question, what brand of condoms did we use?”

“You liked using an American brand… War God!”

Only then was he shocked.

Because that brand wasn’t available for sale domestically, very few people knew about it.

It was something he would specially buy from abroad.

Such intimate games between a married couple wouldn’t be known by others.

He looked at me, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Wait for me after the award ceremony, I have something to tell you!”

“I have to go!”

I didn’t give him an answer!

Just as I took a step, he called me back again.

“Why did you target Ye Mengyan?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“On the plane… Ye Mengyan said that you put that man’s phone in her bag, did you purposely set her up?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze was sharp, often able to see the essence of things easily.

“If I say I didn’t do it, would you believe me?”

“All I want to say is, there’s really no need for you to keep targeting her! Why are you doing this!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, have you ever thought, maybe it’s her who’s targeting me?”

“She wouldn’t, she promised me that she won’t bother you anymore from now on. Otherwise, we’ll cut ties!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s sudden declaration left me shocked.

“Mr. Gu, why don’t I believe those words you’re saying? Think about these few months, how many things have you done to help Ye Mengyan?”

“Any sacrifice has a limit. I’m not going to cover for her forever!”

“Who would believe such words you’ve said! She is your true love, how could you not help her?”

Gu Yuanzhou stared at me strangely for a long time,

“I’ve realized that you just won’t hear what I’m saying, I’ve told you a hundred times! I have nothing to do with her, she is not my true love, and I am not her anyone!”

“Cut the crap, she’s even carrying your child and you dare to say you have nothing to do with her?”

“There’s really no need for you to use this to drive a wedge between us, she is really not pregnant!!!”

Gu Yuanzhou insisted upon this.

I was taken aback.

From his words, I suddenly felt a pang of excitement.

Could it be the child Ye Mengyan is carrying isn’t his?

If that’s the case, there will be quite a spectacle later.

“Mr. Gu, see you later.”

The award ceremony was drawing near, I didn’t want to waste any more time with Gu Yuanzhou, and hastily left.

The truth is, ever since Ding Inuo’s accident, I’ve been feeling nothing but resentment towards Gu Yuanzhou, I don’t believe any of his words, not even the punctuation marks.
