Chapter 303 always seemed to be unhappy

All Gu Ruochu could think about was the incident with Jin Ye. Zhang Yuan seemed determined to make him suffer. Was she trying to intimidate her? Was she only willing to take revenge on Jin Ye?

In her attempts to protect her goddaughter, Zhang Yuan did not seem to care about what was right or wrong. Gu Ruochu's impression of her was extremely poor. If anything were to happen to Jin Ye, she would double her revenge on Gu Yanwei.

"Nanchen, I have to go. Something has happened to my friend."

Gu Ruochu stood up. At that moment, she only wanted to call Rong Xiao and Xu Yichen. She felt very uneasy.

"What friend? Are you going to leave without even eating?" Huo Nanchen was still holding onto her elbow firmly. "Eat your food before you leave. Regardless of who's in trouble, you shouldn't go help them when you're hungry

Suddenly, all the negative emotions that had built up in Gu Ruochu's heart came to the surface. She was frustrated, but she did not know whether to laugh or cry at his last sentence.

"His situation is very urgent! I have to go over immediately."

His? Was she referring to Jin Ye?

Huo Nanchen recalled the picture that the female reporter had sent to his phone. Gu Ruochu's smile appeared natural when she was with Jin Ye.

However, she always seemed unhappy when she was by his side.

"Gu Ruochu!"

Huo Nanchen was so angry that he almost flipped the table over. He then took a few steps forward and pulled her towards him. His eyes were frigid and wide in anger. "Do you think that I don't know who your friend is? Isn't he that celebrity who always has his manager watching over him all the time. What does it have to do with you if something happens to him? He's just a movie star, do you think that he's your friend?"

"He's my friend!"

"Friend?"

His expression instantly turned stony, and his usual dangerous aura emanated from his body. He grabbed her arms and restrained her.

"A friend who has to make a phone call in the middle of the night? A friend who has to run off with you when he wants? You treat your friend better than your husband! Gu Ruochu, don't you know this clearly in your heart?"

Gu Ruochu did not want to quarrel with him. Jin Ye had offended the Ning family because of their matter, but Huo Nanchen did not know that.

"Huo Nanchen, what do you mean by questioning me?" Was he that insecure?

"If you have a clear conscience, you should have nothing to hide!"

Gu Ruochu looked into his eyes and suddenly felt powerless. She had wanted to spend her last few days with him peacefully. Now, she realized that it would be impossible.

Two people in love would never quarrel this frequently. They were clearly not in love with each other. She had once thought that Huo Nanchen might fall in love with her after spending some time together. However, after she learned that he was only using her as medicine, she came back to her senses.

A man who did not love her, in the beginning, would never love her in the future.

Other than her identity as his cure, she was nothing.

"Let me go! I don't want to talk to you about such meaningless things."

"Meaningless? You only want to see that pretty boy, right?." He reached out and brushed his hand across the side of her face. He then held her shoulders and smiled dangerously. "I thought you were completely devoted to me, but you've really disappointed me."

He could not hide the bitterness in his heart.

Gu Ruochu lowered her eyes, her face expressionless. A dull pain pierced through her heart. "Perhaps we can't be together at all. Our relationship has always felt wrong."

They were from different worlds.

"Whether it's right or wrong, that's not up to you."

He suddenly pinched her chin with great force, and his ice-cold lips gently kissed her cheeks. "Be good. Sit down and finish your meal."

After finishing her meal, he would allow her to go out and meet with Jin Ye.

However, he would not let her skip the meal.

"All right."

Gu Ruochu closed her eyes and sat stiffly on the stool. She then picked up her bowl and began to eat. Huo Nanchen saw that she had finally listened to him and calmed down.

If she had insisted on leaving, he did not know what he would have done.

Gu Ruochu ate hastily and quickly put down her bowl.
