Her voice was cold, faintly distant.
"Xinran?"
"Gu Jingyuan, we broke up."
Gu Jingyuan choked on the air and coughed a few times before finding his voice to explain, "Xinran, Yue Xiu and I have never been together, and I didn't promise her anything. She signed the papers to transfer the shares of the company herself."
"Yeah, I guessed that," Liang Xinran said calmly. "Cooperating with the act to get the bad guys in, right?"
"Yes, you're very smart." After Gu Jingyuan finished speaking, he realized that she had not relaxed her brows. He understood why. "I'm sorry. I didn't tell you in advance. I was afraid that you would worry and become their target. I wasn't in the country, so I was afraid that if something happened to you I wouldn't be able to protect you."
"Everyone else can know, except me. I've been scared all the time. Do you know what that's like? Do you know what it's like to be in the dark and unable to empathize with you when you're having problems?"
"I'm really sorry." Gu Jingyuan was very sorry, but in that situation, he really couldn't say anything to her.
Even Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin only guessed the truth later.
He could not put Liang Xinran in danger.
Liang Xinran's voice was very calm. "Gu Jingyuan, we're a couple, and we might even become husband and wife in the future. However, when you encountered something, you didn't consider putting our relationship on an equal footing. This makes me unable to accept it. I'm sorry, I can't forgive you now."
The car stopped and the driver came to knock on the door. "We're here, Miss Liang."
The car door opened and Gu Jingyuan saw that it was his residence. His brows furrowed slightly.
"Gu Jingyuan, I'm glad you're back. Go back first," Liang Xinran said softly.
The driver was still holding the door. Gu Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to get out of the car first.
The car door closed. Gu Jingyuan's line of sight was blocked by the car door, so he could not see Liang Xinran.
The car drove slowly away until it was out of sight.
Liang Xinran placed her hands on her eyes and closed them.
***
Liang Xinran's scenes would end in two days.
The next day, she came over to shoot with slightly dark eyes. The makeup artist frowned. "Xinran, you still have to rest well at night. If the makeup isn't good, it might affect your filming."
"Sorry about that. I slept a little late last night."
"I'll give you a little more concealer."
The manager teased her at the side, "Xinran, Doctor Gu has just returned. You guys are already like this.
Fortunately, the filming is about to end. Otherwise, I really can't guarantee that the director won't punish you."
"Alright, go get me a glass of water." Liang Xinran shoved the glass at her.
The manager still did not know about her and Gu Jingyuan, and Liang Xinran did not say anything.
She finished her makeup and hurried off to shoot.
During lunch, the manager brought food.
When she opened it, it was fragrant. It was the small restaurant she frequented. Only Gu Jingyuan knew that she loved going there.
"Why are we eating this for lunch?" Liang Xinran frowned.
"You don't like it? Then I'll get you another one," the manager said. "What's wrong? I didn't see you being picky before. You usually eat the same food as the crew."
"Did the production team order this?" Liang Xinran asked.
"Probably. From what I saw, everyone is eating the same thing."
