"Woo——"
The hysterical feeling of suffocation made Lu Yichen panic. He almost exhausted all his strength to push Chu Lingjue's hand away from his neck.
Before Lu Yichen could take a breath, Chu Lingjue kicked him in the chest with a powerful kick.
"ah!"
Lu Yichen was lying on the ground with blood pouring from his mouth and nose.
The moment he saw Lu Yichen forcefully kiss Gu Xiwan, Chu Lingjue had the intention to kill Lu Yichen.
But now, he was only thinking about Gu Xiwan. After kicking Lu Yichen down, he didn't bother to look at Lu Yichen again and opened his arms to hug Gu Xiwan.
"Don't touch me..."
Gu Xiwan pushed Chu Lingjue's hand away.
At the same time, take a step back.
As a result, the sprained foot felt an excruciating pain again. She, who always wanted to pretend to be arrogant in front of Chu Lingjue, suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing her look like this, Chu Lingjue's cold heart seemed to melt.
His voice was obviously much gentler,
"Obey, don't force me to do anything."
Gu Xiwan knew that he...
She didn't dare to dodge anymore and let Chu Lingjue wrap his arms around her and pick her up.
Gu Xiwan should obviously resist Chu Lingjue.
Being held in his arms, smelling his pleasant scent, and listening to his surging heartbeat, Gu Xiwan suddenly felt a sense of attachment to him.
Gu Xiwan hated herself for having such feelings for Chu Lingjue!
Chu Lingjue held this engagement ceremony in a very low-key manner.
Chu Lingjue did not invite any of his relatives and friends, but Gu Baixue and Zhang Yulian invited more than a dozen close relatives to show off.
Seeing Chu Lingjue carrying Gu Xiwan out of the private room, Gu Baixue's aunt was surprised and said,
"Xue'er, what's going on? Why did your fiancé leave you here alone to find that little bitch Gu Xiwan?"
"We all saw that Gu Xiwan was injured. Your fiancé doesn't know how dirty your sister is, so it's okay to care about her. But he hugged her without hesitation, isn't it a bit too much?"
"Xue'er, there were rumors in our family circle a few days ago that something wasn't going right between Gu Xiwan and your boyfriend. Look... they don't really have something, right?"
Gu Baixue's eyes were dull.
She couldn't believe that Emperor Ye Leng had known about Gu Xiwan's pregnancy for a long time, and that she had already blackened Gu Xiwan's body completely. Emperor Ye Leng still abandoned her immediately after seeing Gu Xiwan's injury to care for Gu Xiwan.
Gu Baixue wished she could cut Gu Xiwan into pieces with a thousand knives.
He said with disdain on the surface,
"Who among our relatives doesn't know how bitchy Gu Xiwan is? Do you know that I met Gu Xiwan in the hospital yesterday? She was pregnant, and she was carrying the child of an unknown wild man...
well! It's pitiful that the eldest son of the Chu family is terminally ill, but now he's turned into a green grassland and is happy to be a father. I feel so sorry for him. "
People whispered and looked at each other.
Chu Lingjue ignored them and walked firmly in front of these people holding Gu Xiwan in his arms.
Chu Lingjue carried Gu Xiwan into the lounge, put her on the bed, and then grabbed Gu Xiwan's ankle.
Gu Xiwan subconsciously wanted to retract her feet.
Chu Lingjue said lightly,
"If you want to suffer less, just calm down and be obedient."
After being swept away by his sharp eyes, Gu Xiwan really didn't dare to move.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Lingjue had taken off her shoes and socks.
After tentatively pinching her injured area a few times with his thumb and index finger, his hands suddenly exerted force.
"ah--"
Gu Xiwan almost fainted from the pain.
But after the severe pain passed, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
She, who came from a medical school, knew that Chu Lingjue had straightened her misaligned joints...
Even orthopedic surgeons rarely have such a technique.
"Does it still hurt?"
Chu Lingjue held the sole of her foot with one hand and covered her injured ankle with the other, massaging her gently.
Chu Lingjue, who was always as cold as an iceberg, felt exceptionally warm in his palms. At this moment, Gu Xiwan had the illusion that his whole body was surrounded by a warm current.
For a moment, she even felt that the way he looked at her was extremely warm.
This must be her illusion!
How could this cold and murderous man have any warmth towards her...
"No……"
Gu Xiwan wanted to say "it doesn't hurt anymore".
When he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Baixue, dressed in pearls and fine clothes, standing outside the door. He suddenly realized clearly that today was the day when Chu Lingjue and Gu Baixue were engaged, and his eyes instantly turned into sarcasm.
"If I don't feel pain, it still hurts. What does it have to do with Mr. Ye? Mr. Ye, your fiancée is waiting for you at the door. She seems like she can't wait any longer. You go find her."
Chu Lingjue's hands holding Gu Xiwan's feet froze.
Chu Lingjue did not let her go, nor did he look back at Bai Xue.
"Brother Di."
Gu Baixue came back to her senses when she heard Gu Xiwan mention her.
"Emperor Ye Leng" left her to be with Gu Xiwan, which made her lose face.
She originally came to ask "Emperor Ye Leng" to go back.
But when she saw "Emperor Ye Leng" massaging Gu Xiwan, Gu Baixue was shocked——
People like "Emperor Ye Leng" were aloof emperors in ancient times.
Gu Baixue never dreamed that an emperor-level person like "Emperor Ye Leng" would grovel and massage Gu Xiwan... And the look in "Emperor Ye Leng's" eyes when he was massaging Gu Xiwan...
For the first time, Gu Baixue discovered that the "Emperor Ye Leng", who had always been cold and shunned others, could look at someone with such compassion and tenderness...
"Our engagement ceremony starts in less than three minutes. Brother Di, I don't mean to rush you, but my parents and my relatives are all waiting. I just feel that it is not right to let so many people wait. Great."
The "understanding" Gu Baixue has bright eyes and a charming voice.
Chu Lingjue did not look back at Gu Baixue, but still looked at Gu Xiwan and said,
"You need to rest for a while before you can get out of bed and walk. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Gu Xiwan said nothing.
She just wanted Chu Lingjue and Gu Baixue to disappear before her eyes as soon as possible.
However, the moment Chu Lingjue stood up and left, she suddenly felt that something was missing, and her heart felt empty.
Gu Baixue took Chu Lingjue's arm and walked away with Chu Lingjue.
Looking at these two figures, Gu Xiwan recalled the two "intimate" scenes between Chu Lingjue and her yesterday. She, who had always been strong, felt a sore nose and tears fell down her face again.
"Dear guests, welcome Mr. Ye Lengdi and Miss Gu Baixue to the holy platform. I announce that the engagement ceremony of Mr. Ye Lengdi and Miss Gu Baixue will begin now..."
The celebrations coming from outside were noisy and festive.
Gu Xiwan felt that the sound was extremely heart-wrenching.
She didn't want to stay here for a second longer, so she got out of bed with support, endured the pain and walked out of the door, fleeing away from the hustle and bustle.
Gu Xiwan was walking when a woman with heavy makeup blocked her way.
"Gu Xiwan, I was about to settle a score with you. You are so shameless. You just went to seduce Yi Chen again, didn't you?"
Gu Xiwan glanced at the woman.
It turns out to be Gu Jiali!
After Lu Yichen harassed Gu Xiwan, Gu Xiwan wanted to have a talk with Gu Jiali!
