You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Long Time No See

Once senior year arrived, Gu Huaiye became even busier.

Preparing his graduation thesis and running to the company from time to time—he was soon to take over the CEO position.

Although he took Father Gu for checkups every year, Father Gu hadn’t taken good care of his body when he was young. Coupled with the huge blow from Gu Huaiye’s mother’s death, causing him to drink day and night for a period, stomach problems began to plague him.

Gu Huaiye didn’t dare let Father Gu overwork, and after persuading him for a long time, finally got Father Gu to retire early and recuperate at home.

He thought his Little Uncle would take over as CEO, but his Little Uncle suddenly waved his hand and refused, saying he saw the changes in Gu Huaiye and was willing to hand the company over to him to manage.

Gu Huaiye was under immense pressure now. Every day, his eyes opened to work or study, determined not to let down the elders’ expectations.

Ever since Chen Zirui went to District B, Gu Huaiye had become solitary.

A new roommate moved into the dorm. Gu Huaiye had nothing to talk about with him and didn’t want to make new friends, so they basically exchanged less than two sentences a day.

He was afraid working in the dorm would disturb his new roommate, so he stayed in the coffee shop or library every day, only going back to shower and sleep around eight or nine in the evening.

Just as graduation was approaching, Chen Zirui, who was supposed to be promoted to a formal soldier in District B, was suddenly kicked out on the grounds of being unqualified.

Hearing the news, Gu Huaiye immediately went to the Chen family villa to comfort Chen Zirui.

Chen Zirui was cursing in his room.

“Actually said my height didn’t meet the requirements?” Chen Zirui said angrily. “What kind of dismissal reason is this? Why didn’t they mention my height was unqualified when I entered? Telling me now, pisses me off!”

Just two centimeters short!

Was it necessary to bully people like this?

If he had known, he would have drunk more milk and played more basketball when he was young to make up those two centimeters.

“Forget it. The army is tough anyway, and your dad was especially worried something would happen to you. Staying at the Chen family is good too; you can still inherit your dad’s company.”

Chen Zirui retorted unwillingly, “I originally wanted to make him call me ‘Father’. Now it’s great, fantasy shattered.”

Gu Huaiye: “…”

He really hadn’t expected Chen Zirui joined the army for this.

“Anyway, I get angry whenever I think about this.” Chen Zirui gritted his teeth in anger. “If Xiang Wanxing knew, he would definitely laugh to death.”

In the army, every time he met Xiang Wanxing, he would receive a disdainful look from him and earn the nickname “Shorty.”

He was already very unhappy about Xiang Wanxing mocking his height. If he knew he was fired because of his height now, he would definitely laugh until his jaw dropped.

“When did you get so close to him?” Gu Huaiye raised an eyebrow. “Your new sworn brother?”

“I pui!” Chen Zirui looked disgusted. “I wouldn’t be friends with this kind of Omega.”

Gu Huaiye quietly listened to Chen Zirui finish cursing.

He actually thought this was a good thing.

The border had been troubled recently. He didn’t look down on Chen Zirui or think he was incapable of being a soldier, but rather, he hoped Chen Zirui could live out his life safely.

Speaking of which, after he jumped off the building and died in his previous life, he didn’t know how Chen Zirui lived.

Father Chen had too many illegitimate children. He hoped Chen Zirui could inherit the company smoothly. Even if he couldn’t, he would help out and give Chen Zirui a sum of capital to start a business.

“Alright, let’s not mention unlucky things.” Chen Zirui turned his gaze to Gu Huaiye, restoring his smile. “How are things with you and my brother? What stage are you at?”

Gu Huaiye rolled his eyes. “As a brother, why are you so anxious to push your brother to me? Aren’t you afraid I’m a scumbag?”

“It’s precisely because it’s you that I’m so reassured.” Chen Zirui laughed. “Coming back is good too. Your wedding is coming up soon; I can be your best man.”

The smile on Gu Huaiye’s face faded a little.

“Sure.”

Speaking of which, he hadn’t thought of Xie Miaohan for a long time. If Chen Zirui hadn’t mentioned Xiang Wanxing, he wouldn’t have remembered Xie Miaohan.

To avoid his feelings for Xie Miaohan, he barely even watched the news. As long as there was news about the Xiang family, he would change the channel or turn it off directly, a bit afraid of seeing Xie Miaohan on it.

They had gone to District B for so long, and Xie Miaohan’s military rank was getting higher and higher. He estimated they would marry Xiang Wanxing soon.

Gu Huaiye sighed in his heart.

He and Xie Miaohan had finally drawn a period.

A month after graduation, the wedding was about to be held.

Gu Huaiye suffered from insomnia for several nights and called Chen Xialin.

“Brother Gu, what’s wrong?” Chen Xialin’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement. “Are you too nervous to sleep too?”

Gu Huaiye gave a noise of assent, pursed his lips, and said with a somewhat hoarse voice, “Xialin, do you want to reconsider? Do you think someone like me is really worth it?”

Chen Xialin was silent for a while, his tone suddenly low. “Do you want to cancel?”

“Of course not.”

Hearing this, Chen Xialin recovered his smile.

“I’ve waited for you for so many years; I won’t regret it. Brother Gu, you have to have confidence in us. Our pheromones are very compatible; we will definitely develop feelings.”

Gu Huaiye smiled bitterly. “Alright, I understand.”

“Then… see you at the wedding tomorrow…”

“En.”

Just as he was about to hang up, he heard Chen Xialin say, “Brother Gu, I really like you so much.”

Gu Huaiye couldn’t respond and hung up the phone somewhat evasively.

The next day, Gu Huaiye put on his suit and stood in front of the mirror in a daze for a long time.

“Young Master, it’s time to pick up Young Master Chen. Missing the auspicious hour will be unlucky.” The servant behind reminded him.

Gu Huaiye nodded and walked out of the Gu family villa.

Several luxury cars were arranged at the door, all heading to the Chen family. Gu Huaiye sat in the last one, and the driver was none other than Lu Zishi.

He planned to nap in the car for a while, but suddenly heard a crash and opened his eyes hurriedly.

“Young Master, there seems to be a car accident ahead. I’ll go take a look.”

“Okay.”

Not long after Lu Zishi got out of the car, someone opened the car door and squeezed in.

seeing the person clearly, Gu Huaiye’s pupils constricted.

Xie Miaohan sat beside him, revealing a cold and morbid smile.

“Husband, long time no see.”

“You already have Miaomiao, yet you still want to marry another wife?”
