Chapter 45: Whose Acting is Better
Gu Zechen quirks up the corners of his mouth. Where is the diamond ring from? When did she wear it! Can this woman act anywhere and anytime? “Husband, I don’t care. You have to buy me another one which is not too big. I can wear it normally.” Seeing Gu Zechen’s silence, Su Ni knows that there is possibility, and he will not hesitate to continue. If she hadn’t signed the agreement a few days ago, Gu would have left without hesitation and left the woman behind. But now, he can’t divorce. As for Su Ni’s play, he must help her to achieve it. Anyway, “It’s nothing but a ring.”
Gu Zechen opens his mouth with disapproval, and stares at the unbelievable faces of the people with their gossipy eyes. He pulls his tie and clears his throat, saying, “I, Gu Zechen, never planned to divorce before, I do not do it it now, and I won’t do it in the future, either. If I know which tabloid is scribbling, I don’t mind buying more media.” “Well, my dear, those tabloid journalists are so hateful that they frame our feelings.” Su Ni shows her face in an instant, with a smile like a flower, more dazzling than the sun in the sky. After that, Su Ni, ignoring the astonished people, rushes directly to Gu Zechen’s arms, “Darling, you hold me.” Their eyes meet. Gu Zechen’s smiling eyes are full of warning, but Su Ni continuously make eyes, fully satisfied.
“Well, since my wife wants to, I’ll satisfy you.” With his words, Gu Zechen takes action and really hugs Su Ni into his arms. People immediately send out a long “wow”. After that, the media keep shooting. Compared with today’s bidding meeting, the emotional progress of Su Ni and Gu Zechen is more eye-catching. Gu Zechen holds Su Ni and strides into the car. Reporters crowd by the window of the car, expecting to continue asking. Su Ni smiles and waves to everyone. Ruan Yichen, whose eyes suddenly fall on the steps, is shocked. She hasn’t left yet. But in an instant, he vanishes in the crowd. In the car, Su Ni takes a sigh of relief and fans her face with exaggeration. “I was so nervous just now.” “Nervous? I don’t see it. ” Gu Zechen sneers disdainfully.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Su Ni is stunned. Seeing Gu Zechen’s face changes faster than turning a book, she becomes more confused. “Those reporters… did you really invite them? ” Su Ni is a little uncertain. Gu Zechen’s face is impassive, and he doesn’t speak. Su Ni then confirms it, and feeling relieved again, she says, “I thought you are going to misunderstand that I invited those reporters again. In fact, I have never invited a reporter.” “Today’s matter, I will not pursue, but Su Ni, you had better not think that with a paper agreement you can push your luck, doing things even beyond your own imagination.” Su Ni opens her mouth a little, feeling somewhat wronged, but she doesn’t know what to say. “You had better not present yourself in public again these days. There’s no need for your acting!” Gu Zechen says, and seeing Su Ni keeps silent, he looks more and more indifferent, “you just need to do whatever your identity as Mrs. GU requires.”
“When it comes to acting, I don’t know who is more capable of acting or telling lies without scruples.” Su Ni whispers. “What do you say?” Gu Zechen’s tone suddenly becomes serious and he stares at Su Ni coldly. Su Ni’s eyes look out of the window in a panic. He wanted to deny it, but after a careful consideration, she finds she hasn’t said anything wrong. Then she lowers her head and says in a small voice, “I don’t know who said it just now. I never mentioned divorce before, but I don’t and won’t do it. Gu Zechen, when you are saying it, don’t you feel flustered?” After all, just a few days ago, Gu Zechen still impressed her that he would never give up divorcing with her. With her words, Gu Zechen’s face comes to her, and he wrenches her back head with one hand to prevent Su Ni from leaving.
“I… That’s what you said… ” Su Ni’s tone becomes more and more flustered. “I know that you specifically asked these reporters to send those pictures of our love for the sake of acting, which is of help for your future cooperation. But I… appeared intimate with you in the presence of those journalists just for the benefit of you… ” “So, do I need to thank you again?” A sneer flashes in his eyes and he asks, biting his teeth. Su Ni can’t help but shiver. The air pressure in the narrow space becomes lower. Su Ni shakes his head and her heart pounds. How dare she ask the man to thank her. “I’m just telling you the truth, honey, don’t be angry. Since you don’t need me to act, I’ll treat you honestly next time.”
From the beginning to the end, Su Ni dares not to look up at Gu Zechen. “Look up!” Gu Zechen orders. “Ah?” Su Ni’s eyes are flustered, but she is overwhelmed by Gu Zechen again. She raises her head involuntarily, stares at those cold and stern eyes, and suddenly swallows her dry throat. Actually, to Gu Zechen, her expression and action look very funny. “Su Ni, you remember what I told you today. Everything is just an illusion of acting. Don’t take yourself seriously and sacrifice yourself.” Su Ni stares at him, not talking. Gu Zechen snorts coldly and pushes Su Ni away. Then he moves aside and looks out of the window. “Don’t remind me of that.”
After a moment of silence, her tone sounds a little bleak. “I know what I’m doing, and I know that Gu won’t take me to his heart, but for me, what is acting and what is true, I’m afraid I can’t distinguish between them even myself.” “Shut up!” Gu Zechen warns. “Yes, if you don’t let me say it, I won’t say it. Just as you says at the beginning: if I say the three words ‘I love you’ again, you will destroy Su Shi. I will be obedient.” She turns silently, leaning her head against the window, sniffs and her eyes feel somewhat sore.
“Today, a lot of people have witnessed a couple of a golden boy and a jade girl downstairs of Wenmao building, that is, Gu and his wife Gu, who haven’t appeared in the public view for a long time. This has also broken the rumors about their divergent opinions. To everyone’s surprise, Mrs. Gu, who hasn’t appeared for a long while, not only becomes the new president of Sushi, but also wins the Nanjiawan Project at one stroke… ”
In the radio station, the latest news is suddenly reported. Su Ni feels embarrassed when hearing it, and Gu Zechen’s face turns black. The driver notices that the atmosphere is not good, so he quickly changes the platform, and then he hears: ” It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close. At present, Gu Zechen and Su Ni, the president of Su’s, are not like what rumors say… ” “Turn it off!” Gu Zechen raises his voice and shouts. The driver is so scared that he is sweating. He turns it off. Now all the radio stations are reporting the sensational news. This is not exactly the result that Gu Zechen wants. Su Ni does not know why Gu Zechen has become so enraged, and she silently suppresses her doubt. “President Gu, last time I dropped my ring in your car, did you see it?” After a while, Su Ni asks. Gu Zechen looks at her sideways, frowning very unhappily.
“I don’t care if you did not see it.” She looks down, her eyes are dark, and she bites her lips, refusing to say more. “A broken ring.” Gu Zechen is not happy, and he lowers his voice. “I know. But in order to take into account your reputation and my identity as your wife, I think it’s better for me to wear a ring. In this case, there won’t be so many things that will bother me.” Su Ni’s head is buried low, and the whole person is almost curled up. “Don’t worry, I’ll pay attention to it later. I won’t give those journalists a chance.” Su Ni adds again. “Stop!” Gu Zechen interrupts Su Ni impatiently. She degrades herself so much, as if beating Gu Zechen’s face, which implies how cruel he is to her.
Although Su Ni says the truth, it is exactly what he has thought. However, no one knows why Gu Zechen is very upset and rudely interrupts Su Ni’s words. Su Ni keeps silent accordingly. Gu Zechen takes a breath, looks out of the window, and extends his long arms, taking Su Ni into his arms. Su Ni is like a cat, curling up beside him. Even her eyes, which are usually flexible, are now becoming gray. Gu Zechen’s Adam’s Apple moves, and he shifts his sight. “One year’s appointment, Su Ni, you don’t have to do anything this year. If you help me get that contract, I will naturally meet your need.” After a pause, Gu Zechen says again, “except for divorce, I will satisfy any of your demands.”
