Chapter 1391: 1390, how did you get injured?
Gu Kai turned his head and calmly met Bai Yiyi’s mocking gaze, responding casually, “There’s nothing to hide from you. Didn’t I just say it? Fang Zhiwei turned Wei Jingshan’s face into a pig’s face.”
Bai Yiyi’s eyes flickered, and she turned her face toward the car window without replying.
The atmosphere in the car quickly fell silent again.
“By the way, I heard from Ah Jin that you’re only going back to help for a few days, not to work there permanently?”
After a few minutes of silence, Gu Kai couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up, looking at Bai Yiyi, who was staring blankly out the window through the rearview mirror.
Bai Yiyi didn’t turn her head when she heard him, just answered faintly, “Mm, it’s almost the New Year, the factory is busy, so I’m going back to help for a few days. I’ll find another job next year.”
“You’re not planning to leave G City, are you?”
Gu Kai’s handsome brows furrowed, a sharp glint in his eyes as he looked at her intently.
Bai Yiyi’s eyes flashed, “I haven’t decided yet.”
“Bai Yiyi, you promised me before that you wouldn’t take Tongtong away from G City. You should keep your promise.”
Bai Yiyi finally turned her face around, her eyes shimmering with unspoken emotions, her lips pressed together as she softly spoke, “Gu Kai, don’t you think that me leaving G City might be better for you?”
“What do you mean?”
Gu Kai sneered, Mo Yu’s eyes already showing signs of anger.
Bai Yiyi ignored the anger pooling in his eyes, analyzing calmly and rationally, “The current state of our relationship isn’t suitable for frequent meetings. When I promised you back then, I didn’t know our relationship would become this awkward one day.”
“Awkward?”
The anger in Gu Kai’s eyes intensified, like gathering storm clouds on the horizon before a storm, making the atmosphere inside the car instantly tense.
Bai Yiyi nodded, her gaze calm and untroubled compared to Gu Kai’s anger; she seemed as calm as still water, “I don’t know if you feel this way, but I find every interaction with you is awkward now. If you’re willing to raise Tongtong, I’m willing to give up custody, as long as you let me see her.”
Gu Kai’s grip on the steering wheel tightened inch by inch, his slender and fair fingers clearly defined, as Bai Yiyi’s words drilled into his ears, revealing faint veins on his knuckles.
Bo Yi’s lips pressed tightly into a cold, straight line.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Yiyi clearly sensed the cold aura beside her, making the air in the car thin, with a sense of oppression in her chest.
“If you have any other thoughts, just say them all at once.” Gu Kai enunciated each word deliberately, his voice chilling to the bone.
Bai Yiyi’s heart contracted slightly, she looked at Gu Kai’s cold and stern face, and the man who had opened the car door for her at the factory gate earlier seemed like spring to winter.
A profound sense of sadness welled up within her. It was laughable, really. At the factory gate back then, although he was standing outside the car in the freezing weather, the feeling he gave her was at least gentle.
But now, she felt the temperature inside the car drop sharply because of him, rendering the air conditioning ineffective.
She actually felt a chill, not a physical cold, but a coldness in her heart.
“Gu Kai, I hope if we can’t be friends, we can at least be rational and calm strangers, not enemies.”
As Bai Yiyi’s words fell, her body shook violently due to Gu Kai suddenly swerving the steering wheel. She instinctively grabbed the seat to steady herself.
The Maybach braked abruptly on the side of the road.
She turned her eyes in astonishment, meeting Gu Kai’s sharp look as sharp as a knife. Although it was winter, due to the snowfall, the sky was brighter than usual, and from their close distance inside the car, Bai Yiyi could clearly see the swirling anger in his eyes.
She instinctively clenched her hands.
“Actually, if you’ve always considered me an enemy, I wouldn’t care…”
Bai Yiyi’s words were abruptly interrupted by Gu Kai’s sudden and overwhelming kiss.
Her eyes widened.
In disbelief, she looked at his enlarged handsome face; his features were still striking but covered with a layer of frost. The familiar scent, the familiar taste, even the electric current coursing through her body, bringing tingling and tremors, was familiar to her.
However, what was different was the chill on his lips, penetrating through hers and reaching directly to her heart.
And his domineering, rough, and angry demeanor, like a sharp knife, stabbed ruthlessly into Bai Yiyi’s heart; she wanted to struggle and resist, and just as her hands moved, Gu Kai’s large hand controlled them.
Her tightly pressed lips were pried open, his overwhelming anger invading her mouth, wildly plundering her sweetness like a storm, filling every inch of space with his presence.
In her fury, Bai Yiyi bit his lips hard.
The storm stopped abruptly.
In the midst of the blood rain and storm, their eyes met.
Seeing her lips swollen from the kiss, the storm in Gu Kai’s eyes quickly dissipated. He lifted his hand and gently touched the bitten lip with his index finger, his brow furrowed.
Bai Yiyi panted heavily.
Her glaring eyes full of anger, she was mad, very mad.
Before Gu Kai could speak, she turned, opened the car door, and got out.
The heavy sound of the car door slamming echoed in his ears, Gu Kai’s eyes turned cold. He also opened the car door and got out.
“Bai Yiyi…”
Just as the words left his mouth, Bai Yiyi had already gotten into a taxi and left in a cloud of dust.
His brows tightly knitted, watching the taxi disappear from view with a somber gaze, the cold of the snowy ground quickly dissipated his inner anger; he lifted his hand and touched his lips again.
There was a faint trace of blood.
That wild woman Bai Yiyi not only bit him but did so with extra force.
Returning to the car, restarting the engine, Gu Kai stepped on the gas, trying to catch up with the taxi Bai Yiyi was in.
***
In the end, Gu Kai still didn’t catch up with that taxi.
Only because he was so angry at the time, he didn’t note the license plate number, and Bai Yiyi didn’t even go to Wen Ran’s home.
Gu Kai pursued all the way to Wen Ran’s home, finding that Bai Yiyi wasn’t there. Mo Xiuchen had just returned and hadn’t entered the house yet. Seeing him curl his lips, Gu Kai squinted with a foxy smile, “Ah Kai, how did you get injured, did Wei Jingshan resist arrest and hurt you?”
“You just got back too?” Gu Kai grimaced at him and asked in return.
Mo Xiuchen chuckled, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, “I was farther away than you, so I came back later. With this much snow, didn’t you go to the factory to pick up Bai Yiyi and let her drive back on her own?”
“She has her own car, doesn’t she?”
Gu Kai replied stiffly, not about to tell Mo Xiuchen that he went to pick up Bai Yiyi, only to have her run off midway, and got bitten on the lip, such an embarrassing thing, giving him a chance to mock him.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes glanced at his lips and smiled meaningfully, “Let’s talk inside the living room, Ranran must be very concerned about you.”
