The sound on the other end of the phone went silent for an instant.
After a long time, Chen Xingjian finally spoke, his voice a little deep, "Why?"
Qiao Hua didn't say anything. Even she didn't know why she made this decision.
She obviously couldn't wait to leave Gu Wenze before.
But yesterday, when she saw Gu Wenze almost collapsed, and Gu Jinyang pulling her clothes to prevent her from leaving, she suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with staying here.
Anyway, she was alone when she returned to Real World, but here, at least there were Gu Wenze and Gu Jinyang, as well as her friends.
Seeing that Qiao Hua did not answer the question, Chen Xingjian seemed to have guessed something, "Qiao Hua, you have fallen in love with Gu Wenze."
This time Chen Xingjian said not a question, but a declarative sentence.
Qiao Hua did not answer this question, "Sorry."
Chen Xingjian sighed, "You know very well that what I want is not an apology."
Qiao Hua avoided this problem, "When the original owner comes back one day, I will take the initiative to leave."
If she really becomes the heroine in the original book, then after the mission is completed, the original heroine's soul will come back sooner or later.
On that day, she will be willing to leave.
Before that, Qiao Hua wanted to stay here, with Gu Wenze and Gu Jinyang, even if it was just to stay a little longer.
Chen Xingjian chuckled, "Qiao Hua, actually you know very well in your heart that this is just an excuse you made for yourself."
Qiao Hua said nothing.
Chen Xingjian breathed a little heavily, "Then won't you consider me? If the mission fails, I will be finished."
Of course Qiao Hua has considered this issue, but it is impossible for her to fall in love with Chen Xingjian, let alone follow Chen Xingjian.
What's more, even if she really agreed to Chen Xingjian, wouldn't the system be able to tell that the two are working together?
By that time they may not be able to leave so smoothly.
Qiao Hua said hesitantly, "What are the penalties for failing the mission?"
Chen Xingjian was quiet for a few seconds, "I don't know."
Qiao Hua pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
As for Chen Xingjian, although the two of them didn't have much contact, Chen Xingjian saved her after all, so even for the sake of this friendship, she couldn't turn a blind eye.
Qiao Hua said seriously, "If there is anything else I can do to help, just ask and I will try my best to help you."
Chen Xingjian said with a rare deepness in his voice, "What you can do to help me is to leave here with me."
Qiao Hua did not respond to this topic.
This is the only thing she can't do.
Chen Xingjian still refused to give up and persuaded, "Qiao Hua, Gu Wenze has done many things to hurt you in the past. You know better than anyone else that such a person is not worth your time and energy to stay here."
"So you come with me, let's go back to Real World and start a new life together."
If it were before, Qiao Hua would have agreed without hesitation, but after experiencing so many things, her mentality was no longer what it was at the beginning.
Qiao Hua sighed, "Sorry, if there is anything I can do to help, just tell me."
Chen Xingjian There was no sound over there, and then the phone was hung up.
There were only beeps on the other end of the phone. Qiao Hua slowly took away the phone, looked at the phone in front of him, and sighed slightly.
It wasn't until Nanny came in with Gu Gu Jinyang that Qiao Hua came back to his senses. Seeing that her face was not very good, Nanny said with concern, "Madam, are you okay? Why are you looking so white?"
Qiao Hua forced a smile, "It's okay."
She tried to calm down her mood, walked over and picked up Gu Jinyang, "The weather is so nice today, let's go out and play for a while."
Gu Jinyang's eyes were crooked, and his chubby little hands hugged Qiao Hua's neck.
Today Gu Wenze came home an hour earlier than usual. When he walked into the yard, he saw Qiao Hua sitting on the grass, and Gu Jinyang crawling awkwardly in front of them. The sun shone around them, as if a faint halo enveloped them.
Qiao Hua was watching Gu Jinyang crawling around on the ground when someone suddenly hugged her from behind, startling her.
After seeing the person behind him clearly, Qiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
Gu Wenze held Qiao Hua's hand without letting go, and sighed softly, "It's great that you are still here."
Qiao Hua's body stiffened, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Nanny still beside her. She said uncomfortably, "Where else could I be if I wasn't here? Okay, let me go quickly, the child is still here."
Gu Wenze then reluctantly let go of Qiao Hua and went to hug Gu Jinyang, "Are you good today?"
Gu Jinyang opened his big round eyes and grabbed Gu Wenze's tie with his small hands.
Gu Wenze raised the corners of his lips and rubbed Gu Jinyang's head a few times.
At this time Nanny came over and said, "Madam, there is a lady named Du who wants to see you."
As soon as he heard Assistant Du's name, Gu Wenze's face instantly darkened.
If Assistant Du hadn't suddenly called Qiao Hua away yesterday, he wouldn't have thought that Qiao Hua had left him.
Qiao Hua didn't notice Gu Wenze's abnormality and asked Nanny to bring Assistant Du in.
Not long after, Assistant Du walked in. Qiao Hua was a little surprised to see her, "Why are you here?"
Assistant Du looked at Qiao Hua gratefully, "I'm here to thank you for your help yesterday."
"You don't have to be so polite, we are friends."
Assistant Du shook his head, "If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get rid of my ex-boyfriend so smoothly yesterday."
Only then did Assistant Du notice that Gu Wenze was also there. She was startled and quickly said hello, "President Gu."
Gu Wenze had no expression on his face and said coldly, "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, call the police directly. Don't let Qiao Hua be in danger again. She is not Police."
Qiao Hua couldn't help but poked Gu Wenze with his elbow, signaling him not to speak so directly.
Gu Wenze's expression softened a little, and he carried Gu Jinyang into the villa with a cold face.
Looking at the back of Gu Wenze holding the child and leaving, Assistant Du said cautiously, "I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"
"It's okay." Qiao Hua glanced at the direction Gu Wenze left and comforted, "He is just like that, don't take it to heart."
Assistant Du shook his head and said guiltily, "I caused you trouble. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face President Gu."
Qiao Hua didn't think it was anything. If it hadn't been for what happened yesterday, she wouldn't have known that Gu Wenze was so afraid of her leaving.
Qiao Hua asked with concern, "How are you doing over there? Has everything been resolved?"
Assistant Du smiled bitterly, "He probably won't come to your door again during this period."
Qiao Hua persuaded, "It's not the way to go like this, we still have to let Police intervene."
Assistant Du hesitated a little, "I'll think about it again."
Qiao Hua sighed, after all, this was Assistant Du's own business, and she couldn't interfere too much.
We can only wait for Assistant Du to figure it out on his own.
After sending Assistant Du out, Qiao Hua was about to go back when suddenly a familiar voice sounded from behind, "Qiao Hua."
