Gu Zhiming was initially very annoyed with me, even looking at me with disdain.
"Chen Yiyue, are you that cheap?"
"I have no feelings for you, just go away!"
"You don't deserve my affection."
I didn't care.
I told myself that one day, he would see my good qualities.
I brought him breakfast, delivered an umbrella to him, and knitted him a scarf.
Before the final exams, I saved a study room for him in the library.
When Gu Zhiming had a fever and a cold, I ran out in the middle of the night to buy him medicine.
When he twisted his ankle during a basketball game, I helped him to the infirmary.
Gu Zhiming slowly began to accept me.
He agreed to be with me.
But there was no light of love in his eyes.
I knew he didn't love me.
That's okay; my love was enough.
I thought that as long as I worked hard and gave my all, I could earn his true heart.
But I was wrong.
On the day Lu Wan returned to the country, Gu Zhiming was very happy.
He drank a lot and held me tightly.
"Xiaoyue, Lu Wan is back."
"I am so happy."
My heart sank.
Gu Zhiming said that Lu Wan is his best friend.
I believed it.
Until Lu Wan fell ill, and Gu Zhiming repeatedly left me to take care of her.
Until Lu Wan experienced a breakup, and Gu Zhiming stayed with her all night, while I cried in the rain, calling him.
Until the engagement banquet, when Gu Zhiming left once again to find Lu Wan.
I finally woke up.
Gu Zhiming will not fall in love with me.
No matter how much I do, he will not love me.
When he looks at me, there is no light in his eyes.
I asked him, "Gu Zhiming, do you not want to marry me?"
He did not answer.
He asked me, "Xiaoyue, do you trust me?"
I said, "You said you would marry me; I trust you."
Gu Zhiming held me tightly: "I will marry you."
He took out the engagement ring and slipped it onto my finger.
"Xiaoyue, give me some time."
"My mom really likes you; she will not accept Lu Wan."
“ Xiao Wan is so pitiful, I can't just ignore her.”
“Once you get married and have children, you can tie my parents down.”
I stared at him in shock.
So, he wants to marry me for this reason.
His parents like me, and he thinks I'm a obedient wife.
If he marries me, he can control the entire Huo Group.
But what about me?
What do I get?
I get a loveless empty marriage.
I pushed him away, took off the ring from my hand, and returned it to him.
“Gu Zhiming, let's call it quits.”
I turned to leave.
Behind me, Gu Zhiming called out loudly: “Xiaoyue!”
I didn't look back.
I was afraid that if I turned around, the tears would fall.
I was afraid that if I turned around, I wouldn't be able to resist throwing myself into his arms.
I was afraid that if I turned around, I would ruin the courage I had finally mustered.
This courage allowed me to finally leave him.

Lu Wan couldn't sleep and wanted Gu Zhiming to lull her to sleep.
Gu Zhiming felt a bit helpless but still gently responded, "Alright."
He leaned against the headboard and pulled her into his embrace.
"What story do you want to hear?"
Lu Wan intertwined her fingers with his and playfully said, "Tell me your love story?"
Gu Zhiming's voice was deep and lazy, carrying a slightly hoarse quality.
Every time we kissed, when the moment became intense, his voice would make my ears flush.
I couldn't help but pinch his waist.
"Don't call me; I can't take it."
Gu Zhiming laughed and bit my earlobe.
I felt my whole body heat up as I pressed down on his hand.
"Don't bite; it hurts."
Gu Zhiming stopped teasing and kissed my neck, pecking at it as if treating a rare treasure.
He was mine alone, Gu Zhiming.
Only for me.
