After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 135 I Only Like You
Since graduating, Gu Xijue has never returned to his alma mater for various reasons.

He wouldn't have come back if it weren't for the principal's repeated invitations for the school's 200th anniversary celebration.

Gu Xijue's resume has long been listed among the top of the list of outstanding alumni. A lot of preparations have been made for his arrival, and he will also be given a speech on behalf of the outstanding alumni.

There were already many security personnel surrounding the school gate, and all kinds of luxury cars were in sight.

The guests emerged from their cars, dressed in sharp suits and elegant gowns. Durant's car, while not particularly luxurious, was rather inconspicuous among the other vehicles.

We were guided to the parking area, where there was a red carpet event where we had to get out of the car and queue up one by one.

When Gu Xijue stepped onto the red carpet, everyone's eyes turned to him. Even without a personal relationship, his face was already a designer brand, especially among the students at the school, no one was unfamiliar with his face.

The little fangirls, who had heard their teachers talk about completing a three-year program in one year and graduating with perfect scores in every subject, all cheered with joy.

so hot!
That face is so handsome!

He was very handsome, with the oriental charm that they liked.

As soon as he landed, Duran stood right next to him. The two, one beautiful and one handsome, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The principal even personally greeted them at the school gate, smiling and saying in English, "Welcome home."

Then he turned his attention to Duran, who was standing next to him, and gave him a very gentlemanly cheek kiss.

Many cameras were snapping photos frantically, as if afraid of missing something. After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, everyone entered the school gate.

"Your speech is today, how's your preparation going?"

Gu Xijue smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course."

Since it was a speech at his alma mater, he couldn't lose face. The principal made small talk, feeling that Gu Xijue was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. When they were students, he was at least willing to say a few words because of his studies, but now he didn't want to say a single word.

The principal glanced at Du Lan, who was walking inside with him, and said with a smile, "Du Lan begged for a long time to get a pick-up and drop-off spot for you. She's been working very hard lately, so remember to invite her out for meals a few more times."

Europeans are very open-minded about relationships between men and women, so the principal understood what Duran's feelings were for Gu Xijue.

Duran smiled and replied politely, "It's my pleasure."

The principal had a knowing look on his face, and Duran felt a little excited.

On campus, it took another half hour for the ceremony to begin. The leaders went up and spoke with great enthusiasm. An hour later, it was Gu Xijue's turn to speak on behalf of the outstanding students.

The applause was thunderous, and the students present were even more excited after the speech.

After the daytime event, there was a lawn banquet hosted by the school in the evening. For Gu Xijue, it seemed like he could leave now. However, Wei Zhou had booked his ticket for tomorrow, so he couldn't leave now. He might as well take advantage of the banquet to make some friends.

“We can discuss this in detail.”

A foreign man also approached Gu Xijue, saying he wanted to have a detailed talk with him.

However, Gu Xijue was not interested in the project he mentioned. He smiled and said, "The company has not ventured into this type of project, so we need to wait for the right opportunity."

The man looked somewhat surprised, and just then, Du Lan happened to walk over from a distance. Gu Xijue said softly, "Excuse me."

Taking advantage of this favorable wind, she left gracefully.

Duran smiled and handed him a glass of champagne: "Senior, have a drink. I think this one is delicious. You should like it."

She looked at Gu Xijue's somewhat cold face, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, and she was in a very good mood.

Gu Xijue took the wine glass from her hand, took a sip, and said, "It's alright." He gave a three-word evaluation and then immediately moved aside. After all, he didn't want to talk to Durant, and he was just feeling annoyed.

The image that popped into his mind was Song Jin'an's face, and that face made him furious.

But Duran persisted, wanting to fight for herself and win over this difficult man, even though he had a wife.

Her eyes gleamed; she wasn't going to let any opportunity slip by!
"Senior brother, are you going back to China tomorrow?"

She followed and asked, her face beaming with smiles.

Gu Xijue, however, showed no expression on his face and found her too noisy.

He exudes a strong aura that keeps strangers at bay, and those who don't like him should also stay away.

"Hmm." He simply replied with a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Duran, however, hadn't noticed anything amiss and leaned closer to him, asking, "Can't we stay a few more days?"

"We can play together for a few more days!"

Her voice was sweet and charming, and I thought her sweetness would be able to win people over.

I was too reserved back home, but now I'll give it a try without being reserved. But when I looked up, I saw the man's gloomy expression, and I instantly felt uncomfortable.

It gave me the creeps, but Gu Xijue said, "I have things to do at the company."

Gu Xijue's thin lips parted and closed, his voice flat, as if he was annoyed by her.

Duran was somewhat surprised. Was the guide to taming men that her brother had given her useless?

Her face was a little pale: "Are you annoyed with me?"

After saying that, her face turned red again, but her eyes still held expectation.

"Ah."

He was another one who shattered all expectations.

Duran felt a little wronged, but Gu Xijue's gaze was sharp, and he gave a cold smile: "Now that you know, get out of the way. I don't want to say it a second time."

He's really getting worse and worse, and the things he's saying are getting very harsh.

Before she could say anything more, she left the spot and went somewhere else, leaving Duran behind. Duran had a very sad expression on his face, his brows furrowed. He wanted to chase after her, but he stopped in his tracks.

She was truly unwilling to accept it!
She originally thought that studying abroad would overwhelm her, so naturally she wouldn't think about Gu Xijue anymore.

But after going abroad, I missed him more and more, to the point that I often dreamed about him at night, dreaming that I was standing next to him, dreaming that we were married and had children...

But why, why treat her like this...?

Duran gripped his wine glass, consumed by hatred, but ultimately could only leave the banquet dejectedly.

After the banquet, Gu Xijue returned to the hotel and called Song Jin'an several times, but he could never get through. That woman had blocked him!
His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was clearly not feeling well!
The moment he saw this woman again after returning to China, he wanted to kill her!
Strangle her!
I can just throw my phone away and board the plane tomorrow, landing in Haicheng the day after tomorrow at noon.

Duran went to see him off at the airport again the next day, but Gu Xijue seemed to be in a much better mood today. When he left, he only said one sentence to Duran: "You deserve better," and then boarded the plane.

Duran murmured, watching his retreating figure, "But I... I really only love you..."
