Chapter 372 - I Was the One Who Had Let You Down Back Then (2)
Yun Rou bit her bottom lip softly, as she said bitterly, “I wish to become its true owner. But you already have a wife.”
“Yu, I’m sorry. After all, I was the one who had let you down back then…”
At this point, no matter how much Xu Weilai had wanted to think of an excuse for Gu Yu, she couldn’t convince herself of any. Those few words uttered by Yun Rou were enough to prove that they had had a past together!
Hadn’t Gu Yu say there was nothing between them?
Xu Weilai couldn’t bring herself to listen any further. Every single word that she had heard was like plunging a knife into her chest. She moved her feet and took long strides towards the exit. Before she knew it, she was running.
She ran without pausing out of the stadium. She had hoped that this would help her cast out the words that she had just heard.
Xu Weilai got into her car and drove away from the stadium. But, those words lingered in her mind and kept running in a loop. Her vision was hazy, and she couldn’t even see the road ahead.
All of a sudden, she slammed the brakes and came to a halt by the side of the road.
She raised her hand and wiped the stream of tears running down her eyes. Xu Weilai leaned against her seat and closed her eyes shut.
She realized that she shouldn’t be driving. Not only was she putting herself in danger, but she also posed a threat to others. When she reopened her eyes, she picked up her phone and opened an app to call a ride-hailing service.
The driver of the private car was some distance away and took twenty minutes to arrive. Xu Weilai got into the car and sat in the back. The driver got behind the wheels and asked, “Miss, where do you wish to go?”
Where to go?
Xu Weilai remained silent for a good while. And when she finally spoke, she gave the address of the apartment without a moment’s thought.
What Yun Rou had said had indeed proved that she and Gu Yu had had a relationship. But, even though the past was the past, she still wanted to know how Gu Yu felt right now. Could it be true that he hadn’t gotten over her yet, or had he just treated her like a tool?
Ignoring the issue wouldn’t help things. During the three years that Xu Weilai spent overseas, she endured the pain of running away from problems.
When she returned to the apartment, little did Xu Weilai expect to see Gu Yu’s shoes at the front entrance. She stared at the pair of shoes in a daze for a moment.
She had thought Gu Yu would take a long time to rekindle his feelings for Yun Rou. Who would’ve thought that in the short time from her leaving the stadium and returning to the apartment, he would have made his way back home first?
So, does it mean that Gu Yu had left soon after her and that he didn’t stay with Yun Rou for too long?
Could it be that even though they had a relationship, Gu Yu had gotten over it? And everything that had happened in the past stayed in the past?
If what he and Yun Rou had was just a thing of the past, then there wasn’t much she could say. After all, she only entered Gu Yu’s life at a later stage. As long as Yun Rou was no longer in his mind, she didn’t have to feel insecure.
Xu Weilai couldn’t deny that her heart had sunk to the lowest point, but she felt a little hopeful now. She pressed her lips together, and after changing her shoes, entered the apartment.
Xu Weilai made her way to the master bedroom first. But the room was empty; no trace of Gu Yu. She put down her purse and changed her clothes before making her way to the study room.
The lights were on in the study room, and they illuminated the area outside the room.
As Xu Weilai entered the room, she saw Gu Yu seated on the sofa. He was holding in his hands the box that Yun Rou had given to him. He was looking at it intently. He seemed a little distracted, his eyes filled with unimaginable emotions.
Did he care so much about the thing that Yun Rou had returned to him? Sorrow and pain pricked Xu Weilai’s heart once more.
She watched as Gu Yu’s slender, bony fingers lifted the lid off the box and pulled out the item that was inside.
When it came into view, Xu Weilai’s inky pupils contracted in an instant; her face turned ashen.
