Chu Lingjue's face was as perfect as ice, without any expression.
"It's not up to you. Don't forget, you are my wife now. You also signed that agreement..."
"Agreement! That agreement again!"
The stubbornness in her bones was aroused, and Gu Xiwan completely exploded.
She suddenly shook off Chu Lingjue's hand,
"The person you want to marry is Gu Baixue. For my mother, I accidentally married you on behalf of Gu Baixue. The person you love is Gu Baixue. I shouldn't be a stumbling block between you. I took the initiative to leave and make way for you. , isn’t it just what you want?
The only thing I want is to live a peaceful life beside my mother. Why does everyone have to fight against me? !
What did i do wrong? !
Why don't any of you let me go? ! "
Gu Xiwan trembled all over.
Tears fell as I recalled the hardships I had experienced.
Seeing her look like this, Chu Lingjue's cold heart seemed to melt, and the kind of pity that he could only feel for her surged in his eyes like a flood that had burst the embankment...
I can no longer bear to force her.
The right hand that was half-stretched toward her, trying to grab her, retracted halfway.
"Listen, if you have any complaints, let's talk about it when we get home."
Chu Lingjue's voice was obviously so gentle.
Gu Xiwan, who was dominated by her emotions at the moment, couldn't hear it.
She took a step back and distanced herself further from Chu Lingjue.
"That's not my home, I'm just a chess piece you use to temporarily replace someone else, I won't go back!
You are already engaged to Gu Baixue. It is more appropriate for you to take her home and explain to your mother than to take me back. "
Chu Lingjue has a strong heart and can withstand blows that ordinary people cannot bear.
At this moment, because of Gu Xiwan's ordinary words, he felt heavy and almost suffocated...
indeed!
All the mother wants is a daughter-in-law.
Gu Baixue can also play this role.
Even if Chu Lingjue draws a clear line with Gu Xiwan now and takes Gu Baixue home to confess the truth to his mother, there is nothing wrong with it.
But Chu Lingjue was so reluctant to let Gu Xiwan leave.
Although he knew that he and Gu Xiwan only had ninety-four short days left, he deceived himself into thinking that the day of separation from her would never come...
The scene was stagnant for a moment.
Passersby whispered.
Butler Cheng, who came with Chu Lingjue, hurriedly moved forward to smooth things over.
"Young madam, you don't know how much the old lady likes you and your mother, right? Not long after you took your mother away, the old lady went home. When she got home, she asked where you and your mother had been.
The old lady is in poor health. In order to appease her, the young master lied to her that you went shopping. If the young master didn't take you and your mother back, the old lady would be so sad when she knew you ran away.
well! Poor old lady, she has the same fate as your mother. She has finally lived a stable life for a few years. What if... alas... Young madam, I beg you not to make trouble again! "
Gu Xiwan's fingertips trembled, and there was a bit of worry in her clear eyes.
Gu Xiwan sincerely likes Zhou Shutong, a living treasure.
No matter what grudge she had with Chu Lingjue, she didn't want it to affect Zhou Shutong.
Seeing Gu Xiwan wavering, an evil light flashed across Chu Lingjue's eyes.
"My mother had a cat. She liked that cat very much. Two months ago, the cat got lost and never came home. My mother didn't eat a grain of rice for three days in a row. Later, my mother fainted from hunger. In the yard, I was sent to the emergency room to save my life."
Gu Xiwan's heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed.
"..." Butler Cheng was dumbfounded in shock!
As Chu Lingjue's confidant and the steward of the "Emperor's Residence", he is no different from the family members of Chu Lingjue and Zhou Shutong.
Zhou Shutong is allergic to cats, how can she raise a cat?
Housekeeper Cheng and Chu Lingjue have been together for so many years and only now do they know that Chu Lingjue can also tell lies.
What surprised Butler Cheng even more was that in order to coax the young lady to go home, the young master not only made up an unprecedented lie, but also used his beloved mother's health as a bargaining chip to win the young lady's sympathy...
At this moment, Mu Yunian, who had always been delirious, finally became sober. She nervously hugged Gu Xiwan's arm.
"Wanwan, did you hear what this person said? My sister's cat was lost, and she was worried to death. What if my sister thought we lost it?
Let’s not go to your dad for now, shall we go back? "
Gu Xiwan could no longer be stubborn. She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Lingjue.
"I can go back with you, but I have a condition."
"Just say it."
Chu Lingjue's conversation was indifferent and elegant, like a fairy who strayed into the mortal world.
Gu Xiwan unconsciously touched her belly with her right hand.
"I want to keep this child. In addition, from now on, you must keep a distance of more than 20 centimeters from me at all times without my permission."
Chu Lingjue,
"make a deal."
Unexpectedly, Chu Lingjue was so straightforward. Gu Xiwan was shocked for a moment, and then she forced herself to calm down and said,
"Also, when the hundredth day is over and we get divorced, I want two million."
A flash of pain flashed through Chu Lingjue's eyes.
In the beginning, it was he who took the initiative to sign the "100-day contract" with Gu Xiwan;
Nowadays, he is particularly sensitive to that contract. Whenever he hears the words "hundred days" and "divorce", his heart feels like a knife...
Chu Lingjue's surface remained indifferent and traceless,
"When you signed that contract, you said we were using each other and you didn't need me to give you money."
After all, Gu Xiwan lowered her eyelids and lowered her head.
"I regret it now."
I really regret it!
I regret that I was so proud and reckless in order to compete with Chu Lingjue.
People always have to base themselves on reality.
She must think of the mother and her child...
Compared with her mother and children, what does it mean for her to sacrifice some dignity?
Chu Lingjue stared blankly at her haggard but beautiful face for a moment.
"It's a deal."
"You can go home now?"
Gu Xiwan nodded and walked towards the helicopter holding Mu Yunian's arm.
Butler Cheng looked at Chu Lingjue with confusion in his eyes.
Butler Cheng knows Chu Lingjue very well——
Not allowing his wife to be pregnant with someone else's child was Chu Lingjue's bottom line.
However, he actually promised Gu Xiwan to keep the child...
As for Chu Lingjue's Congolese Expedition, no matter how much he loses at the negotiation table with his opponent, he will never allow himself to lose any dignity.
If the confrontation between Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan just now is regarded as a negotiation, Chu Lingjue has already lost all his dignity...
It is not an exaggeration to say that Chu Lingjue behaved very humbly in the negotiation with Gu Xiwan!
Chu Lingjue had already noticed that Butler Cheng was worried.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it between us."
"Back to the young master, I don't understand. How can you...forget it, these are nothing..."
Of course, Butler Cheng did not dare to talk about topics that would hurt Chu Lingjue's self-esteem. He just said,
"Master, you promised the young lady to keep a distance of more than 20 centimeters from her at all times. I'm worried that you can't do it."
