Unexpectedly, Lin Mo could find fault with this.
Lin Mo sat down on the sofa and said, “Forget it, forget it. I’ve already finished the audition. If you like it here, just stay.”
With that, he got up again, patted Gu Yi’s shoulder, and prepared to leave.
“No need,” Bai Qing said, “We don’t deserve to use this lounge either. If brother Lin Mo wants to use it, he can stay over.”
Bai Qing smiled and left with Gu Yi.
After they left, Bai Qing couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.
“It’s just a lounge and yet he’s declaring sovereignty. Speaking of it, even the dogs in our village like to urinate under the electric poles when they declare sovereignty. It really suits his behavior.”
After these words were spoken, Chu Ge couldn’t help but cough.
Bai Qing instantly froze in place—
Chu Ge walked over and glanced at Bai Qing with some helplessness, asking, “How come every time someone talks bad, I always manage to overhear it?”
Bai Qing was almost in tears; how could he have known?
Chu Ge’s gaze fell on Gu Yi and said, “Come over and inform us, we’re going to take promotional photos tomorrow. You come with me.”
Chu Ge had inquired early in the morning, so of course, he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to deliberately get closer.
“Tomorrow? Isn’t Gu Yi supposed to go…” Bai Qing paused and patted Gu Yi’s shoulder. “It’s okay, I’ll go to the hospital.”
“What about tomorrow? Doesn’t Gu Yi have time tomorrow?” Chu Ge asked.
“It’s okay, he can.” Bai Qing replied directly. “Auntie hasn’t been feeling well lately and has been hospitalized these days. So Gu Yi has been going to the hospital frequently to visit. Anyway, her condition has stabilized somewhat, so I can go.”
Bai Qing didn’t want Gu Yi to miss such a good opportunity because of family matters.
Chu Ge vaguely remembered that during this period, Gu Yi’s mother had been diagnosed with a disease, and her condition had deteriorated sharply after delaying treatment for a year.
By the time Gu Yi wanted to terminate his contract, his mother was already unable to continue. Gu Yi’s gaze fell on Chu Ge, as if he wanted to see what this person’s intentions were.
But it seemed like he couldn’t quite figure it out.
“Tomorrow’s shoot is in the afternoon. It’s fine if we go later. Which hospital is Auntie in? I’ll pick you up and we’ll go together,” Chu Ge said.
Bai Qing thought it was a good idea too. Being with Chu Ge, even if they were late by an hour, no one would blame them.
No wonder Lin Mo likes to wield trivial matters as if they were important, how satisfying. Hearing Chu Ge say “we” Gu Yi felt as if he and Chu Ge were familiar with each other. Gu Yi was about to refuse when Bai Qing already mentioned the hospital’s address. “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Chu,” Bai Qing said.
“No problem.” Chu Ge took a chocolate out of his pocket and handed it to Gu Yi. “This chocolate tastes good. You should try it.”
After saying that, the young man turned and left.
Bai Qing stroked his chin, looked at the chocolate in Gu Yi’s hand, then glanced at Chu Ge’s departing figure, feeling puzzled.
What does this mean?
Gu Yi looked down at the chocolate, feeling only irony in his heart.
The chocolate was fine, but he felt nauseous and casually threw it away when passing by a trash can.
—Early the next day—
Gu Yi went to the hospital early.
However, he didn’t expect Chu Ge to arrive early as well.
After seeing someone entering the ward with a gift, Gu Yi couldn’t help but frown. The confusion in his heart worsened.
Chu Ge sat down beside the hospital bed and said, “I was afraid of traffic on the way, so I came a bit early.”
How could Gu Yi not see through his intentions?
The young master of the Chu family suddenly being so attentive to him, how could that not raise suspicions?
Gu Yi didn’t want Chu Ge to stay long, so after exchanging a few words with his mother, he was about to leave.
His mother felt reluctant and said, “If you’re busy, you don’t have to come here often. Work hard. Your colleagues look like a star and seem to have good hearts.”
“Auntie, your son is also a big star. Take good care of yourself and wait for the day he becomes famous worldwide,” as Chu Ge said he put his arm around Gu Yi’s shoulder.
After a few comforting words, the woman who had been ill for several days smiled.
Gu Yi thought to himself that this man was indeed someone who had grown up hearing nice words, and he knew how to speak well.
After bidding farewell to his mother, the two got into the car.
Chu Ge checked the time and said, “We’re earlier than expected. I don’t think we’ll be late.” Just as Chu Ge was about to start the car, Gu Yi grabbed the steering wheel. He turned to look at the resolute man and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” Gu Yi stared at the elegant and refined young man in front of him and asked, “What have I done to deserve the Prince’s personal attention? I just want to ask Mr. Chu what his intentions are.”
Of course, Gu Yi knew that he had nothing to lose.
So he was even more puzzled about what Chu Ge wanted to gain.
Chu Ge’s eyes flickered, thinking to himself that Gu Yi had finally asked the question.
Chu Ge looked ashamed and said, “The mistake I made over two years ago was my fault. Now I just want to make it up to you. Rest assured, Lin Mo won’t trouble you again.”
The young man already had a naturally innocent and harmless face, and the sincere emotion in his dark eyes made it easy for people to be moved.
The system had always felt that this innocent appearance was Chu Ge’s true weapon.
“What happened in the past cannot be changed, but you still have unlimited possibilities in the future. Gu Yi, I hope you won’t act rashly. Accepting my apology is the best decision for you,” Chu Ge’s words were sincere and clear.
But…
“Is that all?” Gu Yi asked.
“Of course, unless you think I have ulterior motives towards you?”
The primary condition for getting close to Gu Yi was naturally to dispel his wariness.
As an artist who had been neglected for over two years, Gu Yi had long understood the mutual maintenance within this circle. Suddenly, someone being kind to him inevitably made him suspicious.
Ulterior motives…
Certainly, there were now.
Gu Yi remained silent thereafter.
Chu Ge was right. While he still couldn’t sleep due to his lingering conscience, Gu Yi should try to gain some benefits.
The conscience of wealthy people is a scarce commodity after all.
He withdrew his hand and said, “I’m sorry, I offended you just now.”
“It’s okay, the misunderstanding is cleared up.”
Chu Ge smiled at him and then started the vehicle directly towards the filming location. Upon arrival, there were already many staff members lurking around the area. Seeing Chu Ge with Gu Yi together, they couldn’t help but become curious. “Hey? The person next to the Prince seems familiar. Which artist is he?”
“Which artist? He’s from Chu Entertainment. Don’t you remember he was second place in ‘Star Journey’?”
“Oh right! Gu Yi! That guy with unresolved grudges. Is he making a comeback?”
“Well… it seems he never really left. Now the Chu Entertainment seems to be promoting him intentionally.”
“Hurry up and take photos! Why are you standing around?”
There will be plenty of material to write about today.
Chu Ge attracted a lot of attention on his way here, and Gu Yi hadn’t seen such a scene in a long time. However, Chu Ge acted as if it was nothing.
