Only You: The Billionaire's Obsession-Chapter 219: Why Exactly?

Sheng Qianchi didn’t linger for long. After warning Pei Nianchen, he got into his car and followed Gu Jiayin.

He didn’t know where her sudden temper and indifference came from. When he left Licheng City, the two were still inseparable, and yet after just two days, she was so resistant to him.

He couldn’t think of any reason, so the focus naturally shifted back to Pei Nianchen.

The grudge of seven years was rooted in his heart. He thought he had erased it over time, but today he realized it was impossible to erase. As long as he saw her with Pei Nianchen, he couldn’t keep calm.

He hated so much that his gums itched.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, running several red lights in pursuit of Gu Jiayin’s car.

He initially thought she wouldn’t return to Shuiyunjian. Whenever she used to throw a tantrum, she’d run to Lu Xiya’s place. This time, he wouldn’t allow her to act capriciously again.

But, to his surprise, she drove directly back to Shuiyunjian.

On the winding mountain road, the two cars sped past one after the other.

Sheng Qianchi frowned, unable to understand Gu Jiayin’s behavior.

At Shuiyunjian, Gu Jiayin parked the car, got out, and without looking at Sheng Qianchi who was pursuing her, she found everything related to the Gu Family, Qin Family, and Sheng Family repulsive.

She had had enough of being a pawn for the three families.

Sheng Qianchi’s anger surged wave after wave, slamming the car door and striding after the woman, pinning her wrist and forcing her back until she was pressed against the car door.

He looked down into her eyes, his voice low, but each word seething with anger, "Explain it!"

"Explain what?" Gu Jiayin turned her face away, unwilling to look into his eyes. Seeing him reminded her of Gu Shaohua and Gu Qiyun, who both schemed and used her, his birth mother and adoptive mother.

Ha, but she still had a mission: to rescue his birth mother and reunite them.

Her attitude only fueled Sheng Qianchi’s anger. He pinched her chin, forcing her to face him, "Why this sudden foul mood with me?"

Gu Jiayin looked at this handsome face. After being together for so long, she knew what he was thinking, what he was jealous of. He cared too much about Pei Nianchen’s presence.

Although she never intended to rekindle a past romance with Pei Nianchen, she still refused to explain, "Whatever you think it is, then that’s what it is."

"Gu Jiayin!" Sheng Qianchi suddenly increased the force in his hand, leaving deep marks on her chin, "You heartless woman, I was only gone for two days, and you rekindled things with Pei Nianchen. How degenerate are you!"

Gu Jiayin laughed coldly, unable to hide the desolation in her eyes, "I was degenerate from birth. Didn’t you know?"

Yes, too degenerate.

Sheng Qianchi stared at the woman before him, unable to utter a word, only feeling a wave of anger he couldn’t vent.

Gu Jiayin pushed away the silent man, turned around, and walked into the villa.

Sister Li stepped forward to inquire, "Jiayin, have you eaten?"

"Not eating." Gu Jiayin tossed out those two words and went upstairs on her own. She needed a good sleep. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Sheng Qianchi followed her into the villa, ultimately seeing only the silhouette of the woman going upstairs. He stood quietly by the sofa in the living room, looking up quietly for a long time.

Sister Li cautiously approached, "Young Master Chi, did you two... argue again?"

Sheng Qianchi said nothing, glancing at Jiajia and Chi Xiao’er playing together intimately, and Brother Gu and Sister Turtle resting quietly together, he let out a deep sigh and stepped onto the second floor.

He didn’t return to the bedroom but went to the study.

The bright sunlight of a midsummer morning poured in through the window, illuminating the room.

He sat in the large chair, quietly lit a cigarette, his face weary.

Since receiving her message, he hadn’t rested. He thought meeting her would bring a tight embrace and sweet words, but instead, he was met with her sudden indifference.

He didn’t understand what had happened.

Now calm and thinking carefully, he really didn’t believe she had reconciled with Pei Nianchen.

After being with him, to return to Pei Nianchen wasn’t like Gu Jiayin’s style, nor was there any reason for it.

...

Gu Jiayin was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

So she truly needed a good sleep. After taking a bath, she fell into a deep sleep.

She slept until noon.

Upon waking, she found Sheng Qianchi sitting at the bedside, watching her quietly.

His eyes were dark and bright, the anger from the morning gone, now gentle enough to melt.

Actually, these days with him, she was really happy, really reluctant to part. She had often thought that after finding the Blood Tears Jade, could there still be a possibility of continuing with him.

But now, she had completely given up the thought.

Even when she believed Gu Shaohua was his birth mother, she was disgusted by Gu Shaohua, yet she still held a bit of hope to stay with him. But Gu Qiyun...

Though she couldn’t deny the lingering mother-daughter feelings for Gu Qiyun, the deep bond once shared made the pain greater now.

Gu Shaohua’s harm didn’t compare to Gu Qiyun’s manipulation, and because she cared, it hurt.

In life, the greatest harm comes from those you care about the most. Without love, there wouldn’t be hurt. Loving someone means giving them the weapon to hurt you, whether it’s family or romance.

When one day, she brings Gu Qiyun before Sheng Qianchi, Sheng Lanzhang will finally see Gu Shaohua’s evil nature, and they can unite as a family of three. And she, looks just like a clown.

If she stays by Sheng Qianchi’s side, how degrading it would be.

So, at this moment, the last person she wanted to see was Sheng Qianchi. In her life, she feared losing. Losing something she cared deeply for always brought unbearable pain.

Gu Yachen is like this, Ah Yan is like this, Pei Nianchen is like this, Gu Qiyun is like this, Sheng Qianchi is even more like this.

But thinking about it, everything she was unwilling to lose had to be let go. The only one she couldn’t cut ties with was Ah Yan — he was genuine, pure, and in need of her help the most.

Sheng Qianchi watched Gu Jiayin, who clearly woke up and saw him, yet avoided eye contact by closing her eyes again, unwilling to look at him. His heart ached, like a needle piercing it.

He pulled back the blanket, drew her into his arms, gently stroking her face, "Tell me, what’s wrong?"

She didn’t speak. He continued to hold her, not forcing her, just gently stroking her hair, "This morning, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper."

She still didn’t speak, very quiet, as quiet as a doll that could be discarded by its owner at any moment.

Sheng Qianchi looked down at her pale face, slowly spoke, "I don’t believe you have any thoughts of going back to Pei Nianchen, so, you’d better tell me why you’re suddenly so cold to me."
