"Wait for me. We'll have a new wedding when I come back." Gu Ruochu's ears were still ringing with Huo Nanchen's last words before he left, causing her emotions to surge. In the end, she got in her car and drove as fast as she could to chase after him.
She knew that she could not stop him from going to Country M, but at that moment, she only wanted to ask about his child and that woman.
On the highway, the traffic was unexpectedly congested. The sky was already dark, and it soon began to drizzle.
When she arrived at the airport, Gu Ruochu parked her car. She had not brought an umbrella with her. She used her bag to cover her head as she rushed towards the airport building. The crowd watched in astonishment as the young woman, who was drenched all over, ran into the airport. She appeared to be in quite a sorry state.
The sound of the attendants announcing the different flights rang out in the hall. Huo Nanchen had already left. Gu Ruochu stood and surveyed her surroundings. Her breathing was a little hurried. The crowd was dense, and he was nowhere to be found.
The disappointment in her heart was indescribable. A wave of sadness rose in her heart.
Her emotions were like a dam that had just opened its floodgates. The previous day, their relationship had been very sweet, but today, he had flown off to Country M again.
It was as if she had been in a dream and had woken up in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her left atrium.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had just walked out of the airport and was standing in the rain.
"Why are you alone in the rain?"
An extremely clear voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Gu Ruochu's eyes reddened slightly as she turned around and saw a man holding an umbrella in the rain. He was not far away.
When he got closer, Jin Ye's exquisite and beautiful face could be seen amidst the misty rain.
He lifted the umbrella and covered the top of Gu Ruochu's head.
"I didn't see that it was raining."
It was very strange. Gu Ruochu felt that she and Jin Ye had a silent rapport. She felt like they had been long-time friends.
"Get in the car. My car is nearby." Jin Ye did not ask her the exact reason she was standing in the rain and offered her a ride.
"No need. I drove over."
"Why don't you just get someone to come over and collect your car after you get home?"
Gu Ruochu's expression became increasingly calm. She was slightly stunned before eventually agreeing to his offer. "All right."
After getting into the Porsche, Jin Ye threw a dry towel at her as she sat in the back seat. Gu Ruochu caught it and began to carefully dry her hair.
"Why are you here?"
"If I told you that I followed you all the way here, would you believe me?" Jin Ye's tone was half-joking, and his smile was like that of a noble and lazy cat.
Gu Ruochu did not reply. Of course, she would not believe him.
Along the way, Gu Ruochu realized that she and Jin Ye had a lot in common. She had always viewed him as a cold and aloof prince charming. However, she was stunned by his charm. As the got to know each other, she found herself laughing at anything he said.
This was the first time Gu Ruochu had seen such a side to the twenty-five-year-old prince charming of the entertainment industry.
Jin Ye drove her to her company. Because of his celebrity status, he did not use the main entrance to the building. Instead, he used the underground parking garage.
"I'll be leaving then. Thank you for the ride." Just as Gu Ruochu turned to leave, the person behind her suddenly took a few steps forward and hugged her.
This action only lasted for a few seconds. Before Gu Ruochu could react, he had already let go and took a few steps back.
"You..."
"Goodbye."
After a very pure hug, Jin Ye said his goodbyes and got into his car.
Gu Ruochu was deep in thought. She did not understand why he had hugged her.
"..."
When Gu Ruochu arrived at the company's entrance, she was met with blinding flashlights. The noise around her almost drowned her. The reporters had been waiting in ambush at the entrance of the company and were swarming towards her.
"Miss Gu, you're finally here. Is it true that you have completely abandoned your biological mother after marrying into a wealthy family?"
"Miss Gu, you understand the principle that a child's kindness is greater than the heavens, right? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning if you don't even acknowledge your biological mother?"
