C68 Loss of Spirit (1/2)

Ye Xinran nodded, but she knew in her heart that she shouldn't be doing such things. She took a deep breath and said leisurely: ”I'll be troubling you in the next few days, my mother will probably be sleeping here for a few days, after I find a suitable place to stay, I will move out.”

The previous apartment was too simple, and with An Xinyi's current condition, she needed a better environment.

Seeing Ye Xinran give her thanks with a serious face, Gu Shaocheng's expression became as dark as ink. Thinking that she was about to leave, she felt depressed in her heart and ordered irrefutably, ”I don't want your gratitude.

Ye Xinran's pupils contracted slightly, as she smiled helplessly. If it was before, she would have ridiculed his pressure, but at this moment, she understood that Gu Shaocheng did not want to burden her with this matter. Today's matter was equivalent to saving her life, so she would naturally remember it well.

However, she really had no way to repay him other than thanking him. Even if the contract was to be extended for a period of time, it would eventually expire. Furthermore, they were from two different worlds, and they would not meet again in the end …

”It's good that Director Gu has decided.” With her red lips slightly opened, Ye Xinran laughed without a care. In any case, the result of her rebuttal would not be effective, it was just that she was afraid that this time she would disappoint him.

Gu Shaocheng frowned, he had a nagging feeling that Ye Xinran's smile today was not from the bottom of his heart, so he asked suspiciously: ”What happened?”

Could it be that Ye Xinran was hiding something? Everything had already been resolved for her. That trash of a man had already been sent to the police station. She shouldn't be so worried.

”Remember what I said, I will help you settle your problems.” His domineering voice was filled with the aura of a king.

Ye Xinran only smiled indifferently, raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Shaocheng seriously: ”Director Gu, the contract only says that I have to take care of you until your injuries are better, and you don't have any responsibilities or obligations towards me.”

”Director Gu saved us today. In return, I don't need to pay for the rest of the screenwriter fee. This is the only thing I can repay Director Gu.” His eyes were bright and fearless.

Gu Shaocheng's heart was deeply stung by Ye Xinran's expression, and he felt as if there was suddenly a thousand mountains separating her and him.

”Director Gu, it's getting late. I'll go up to rest first.” Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, Ye Xinran stood up with bright and clear eyes, and slowly walked upstairs.

As he watched her figure leave with a trace of determination, Gu Shaocheng's brows tightly knitted together.

His heart was filled with a sense of loss. This was the first time he felt that there was something in this world that he couldn't control.

She was like a bird in a cage for him. This time, she was going to open the gate and soar through the sky. What should he do? How could he keep her?

Only now did Gu Shaocheng understand that the reason he had repeatedly extended the contract was not to torture her, but to keep her here.

He got up and went to the wine cabinet. After pouring himself a glass of red wine, he returned to his room.

Gu Shaocheng stood at the window, looking at the starry sky from afar and lost in thought while accompanied by the night breeze …

Ye Xinran returned to her room and sat in front of her computer with a lonely expression. After running for a whole day, she was actually not sleepy.

Suddenly, the computer screen flashed and three lines of text appeared. The content was surprisingly the same: [Heart of Tranquil East, are you there?]

Ye Xinran was shocked. She focused on the message Nan Chenxuan had sent and quickly replied. ”President Nan, I'm here.”

”I've been looking for you the whole day, but I can't get through. What happened?”

Only now did Ye Xinran remember that after she realized An Xinyi had gone missing, she had called Nan Chenxuan and hung up before she could finish speaking. She replied apologetically: ”Sorry, I didn't know when I lost my phone, I forgot to reply.”

”Have you found your aunt?”
