Arrogant Meets Passionate - Chapter 10

“……” After a long time Gu Yingjie’s said helplessly: “Qin Yufei are you a woman?”

“I am, so I will never hold my breath to be hurt and hide and cry, I must fight back to be worthy of the identity of a woman.”

“Okay, lady warrior, I’ll call you for the next fight.”

“Good, I’ll call Mi Xi to go with me.” Mi Xi was a martial artist, bring her is better than ten Gu Yingjie.

Both sides of the phone are suddenly silent, the pretend words are said, and for a while do not know what else to say. Qin Yufei held the phone, feeling her heart beating a little faster, it’s time to hang up, greetings have been greeted, he sounded no problem at all, she can completely rest assured. But she always wanted to say something more.

    “Ah, by the way, I saw the report, your girlfriend is very beautiful ah.”

    “Yeah.” He responded simply, his voice simple and gentle.

    Qin Yufei smiled and said, “See you then.”

“Bye.”

Saying goodbye, but no one immediately hung up, a two-second pause, and find each other actually did not hang up first, and then hurriedly, at the same time hung up.

    Gu Yingjie gently touched the corner of his eyes, painfully sucked in a breath. This woman ah, really too realistic. Thought he had already got a girlfriend before she was willing to give him a call. It’s really too realistic, not cute at all.

    A woman with no conscience.

Qin Yufei hung up the phone and froze for a while, then dialed the housekeeper downstairs using the internal line and asked her to make a fried fish fillet, she wanted to eat. Soon the snack fried fish fillet is ready, Qin Yufei herself took a bottle of tomato sauce from the refrigerator, sitting in front of the room’s floor-to-ceiling windows while watching the stars and eating.

She remembered that in the United States, she went back to see those star lights, Gu Yingjie sat next to her and listened to her story, he snapped  and stumbled with her, making her sadness and grief a little easier. She has to admit, although not in the plan, but his companionship did support her through those difficult days.

That night she laughed at the entertainment show, but he said to her, “Actually, if you want to cry, just cry, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.”

    She was angry and stared at him, why should she cry, why should she cry! She was an arrogant and spoiled young lady, how could she cry!

He added: “Qin Yufei, in fact, I do not like you at all, but I like it when you are happy. If you want to smile, smile happily, if you are not happy, don’t force yourself to smile, isn’t that tiring?”

    She kept staring at him, she wanted to scold him but didn’t know what to scold. Because he was right, she had been laughing all day and she really felt tired. She smiled, but didn’t feel much joy. Her heart was hollow from the hard laughs that dug it up and she felt tired. But what the hell was he talking about, what he said about not liking her, but like it when she’s happy.

No logic, nonsense, and yet, she actually found it very pleasant.

Flowery words, but that’ s all.

She wanted to scold him, he’s a playboy, don’t put the same routine of coaxing women on her. But his eyes were so gentle, as if he really cared for her. She was somewhat impressed yet very angry because he said he didn’t like her, she was obviously very likeable and he dared to say he didn’t like her!

    She kept glaring at him while he didn’t look away. She remembered that his eyes were very gentle, clean and heart-warming.

    She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly reached out her arms, wrapped around his neck and kissed him.

    She thought he would have pushed her away, but he didn’t.

The kiss was beautiful, so beautiful that she had no idea what she was doing. All she remembers is that she couldn’t let go of him, and they kissed for a long time together, and then they went to bed.

    Again.

The first mistake could be blamed on Mi Xi and Chen Ying because they stood them up and they’re so angry they drank too much wine in the restaurant.  But this time she believed there was only her to blame. She was afraid to think what he would think, maybe he thought she was casual. She had no way to explain, because he hadn’t said anything bad, and she certainly wouldn’t have picked the words herself. What’s more, she also felt that she had acted really casual, casual and cheap.

She has always felt that girls should treat their bodies well and have feelings before going to bed which is a reasonable process. But her first bitter heart is dedicated to the scum, she thought that they will be together for the rest of their lives, the results are not. At that time, you could say you were blind. Now she’s sleeping with a man who says he doesn’t like her. Isn’t she casual? She’s really a bitch.

She hate herself.

The result of self-loathing is emotional outbursts, breakdowns, and after that there is a third time.

Then again, sanity returned to their heads and they both felt that something was terribly wrong and had to be stopped. So they hurriedly returned home early.

After returning Qin Yufei has not given Gu Yingjie a good attitude, she did not answer his phone calls and not return his text messages, he thought she was afraid of his entanglement, the truth is, he simply did not understand. She is afraid of herself.

    There is a feeling, there is no name for it, is her feeling for him. She thought she had forgotten him, but misses him quite deeply. Not because of sex, because of his gentleness. He reprimanded her while tolerating her, he saw through her unhappiness, he was considerate of her need to save face, he was so angry with her that he jumped to his feet but still offered to take her home when she was ill. He holds her tenderly, his big palm over her eyes, making her feel safe – if she cries secretly, no one will see.

He was really a gentleman, but Qin Yufei also knew that the two of them were not suitable. Gentleman means that he is like this with anyone, gentle and considerate to every girl, passionate Prince Charming, surrounded by a group of princesses and Cinderellas. She doesn’t want that, she’s been hurt, she doesn’t trust men. And he is simply the spokesperson for flirtatious and passionate. Look at his attitude towards sex, that’s really casual. And she was too problematic in her own way, she didn’t appeal to him, he had clearly said that. So they’re impossible. She sees the situation clearly and quickly backs off to build a fortress.

Qin Yufei threw the last piece of fried fish fillet into her mouth, now she has her life, and he has a girlfriend, we go our own way, do not bother each other, so it’s good.

    Everyone is fine.

The following days, Qin Yufei and Gu Yingjie really did not cross paths again. They did not send each other text messages, nor did they call each other, let alone seeing each other.

A month soon passed, Christmas was over, soon to be New Year’s Day.

Qin Wenyi has to go on a business trip for the New Year’s Day holiday, and Qin Yufei decided to accompany her mother abroad. Married to a man who works too hard is really no fun, Qin Yufei’s heart goes out to her mother, her father is not at home, then she will take on the responsibility of accompanying her mother.

There’s another man who desperately loves to work at the end of this busy time and he’s very crazy, pressing the subordinates until they are out of breath. Everyone worked overtime, now it is not easy to get off work, the result of taking the same elevator down, Qiu Zhengqing talk about work all the way, when walking to the door of the building, he also grabbed two colleagues to continue to discuss official business. Qin Yufei was afraid of being caught by him, hurried to hide aside, while walking while sympathetically looking back at Qiu Zhengqing, the pleasure of life is like that, really miserable.

    “Qin Yufei.”

    Her gaze was resting on Qiu Zhengqing when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her. Qin Yufei was startled and her whole body cells were alerted. Turning her head to look, it was really Gu Yingjie who she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Looking furious, Gu Yingjie took a few big steps to her, “Why don’t you behave?”

    What? Qin Yufei was confused and baffled. What was the meaning of these groundless words?

    “I told you what kind of person he is, you should not go out with him again, what if something happens? You’re an adult, not a child, can’t you take some responsibility for yourself?” He was practically yelling.

“What person, Zhao Honghui?” Qin Yufei was angry with him, this person does not differentiate between red and white up, come up just to scold is really annoying. “Gu Yingjie you understand clearly, you have no control over who I am dating!” Her voice was also loud.

Gu Yingjie glared at her, and she glared back.

    “You ……” Gu Yingjie was angry enough with her to reach out and grab her. Qin Yufei’s heart jumped, did not react, her hand was grabbed by him.

” Young Master Gu? Do you need something from us Yongkai?” 

A male voice interjected, it was Qiu Zhengqing, he came over. He swept a glance at Gu Yingjie and Qin Yufei’s hands, did not move, calmly asked.

Gu Yingjie recognized Qiu Zhengqing, but he really didn’t bother to be polite with him now. “Private matter.” He said.

    Qiu Zhengqing smiled, looked at Qin Yufei, and politely said, “Then we have to ask Miss Qin if it’s okay.”

Qin Yufei pursed her lips, knowing that the way she argued with Gu Yingjie just now had lured Qiu Zhengqing over, and he was making sure she was safe. At this time her hand was squeezed hard by Gu Yingjie, she sucked in a breath of pain and glared at him, “Don’t squeeze me.”

    “Let’s go eat.” Gu Yingjie also noticed that it was really not wise to talk on the roadside, especially with this woman who could make people burn with a single word.

    “Want to invite Mr. Qiu to go with us?” Qin Yufei winked intentionally.

    “Another time.” Gu Yingjie also spoke in an intimate tone intentionally, then he turned his head to look at Qiu Zhengqing: “Excuse me, Mr. Qiu, I have some matters to discuss with Miss Qin alone, so I will invite Mr. Qiu to dinner next time. Goodbye, Mr. Qiu.”

Qiu Zhengqing didn’t respond, only looked at Qin Yufei, if she didn’t want to, he wouldn’t let Gu Yingjie take the person away. Gu Yingjie squeezed Qin Yufei’s hand again, “Say goodbye to Mr. Qiu.” Under his glare, Qin Yufei reluctantly said to Qiu Zhengqing, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, he won’t hurt me. Bye.”

    Qiu Zhengqing nodded and watched Gu Yingjie pull Qin Yufei away. Qin Yufei walked while hitting his arm complaining, “What’s with your tone, I’m not a child. Don’t pull me, I can walk by myself.”

The two walked to the car on the side of the road, Gu Yingjie pulled open the door, the palm of his hand protected the top of Qin Yufei’s head , see her legs tucked properly, closed the door, and walked to the driver’s seat. He pulled open the door and looked up to see Qiu Zhengqing still looking at them, he waved a greeting and got in.

    Soon the car started up, Qiu Zhengqing withdrew his gaze and walked away slowly.
