Gu Xiwan's eyelashes, as regular as cattail leaf fans, opened and closed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You no longer owe me anything, and you don't need to repay me. You have saved my life more than once. You also rescued my mother from the clutches of Gu Shenhai. You have already used all the kindness you owe me and my father. You paid for everything you did to me and my mother."
Staring at Gu Xiwan for a moment, Chu Lingjue's gentle eyes showed a hint of reproach.
"Silly girl, you are still so cold-blooded, yet I always calculate every account so clearly."
Gu Xiwan chuckled,
"Brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention we are husband and wife. Chu Lingjue, although you don't need to repay me, I still want to ask you to promise me something."
Gu Xiwan's eyes had been filled with tears before. When she smiled, two lines of tears rolled down her face like water drops on butterfly wings.
Chu Lingjue's eyes hurt deeply.
The ups and downs of the experience have made this man who is like a king develop a heart that is invulnerable to all poisons.
However, he still had no immunity to Gu Xiwan's tears——
Every time he saw Gu Xiwan shed tears, his invulnerable heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade, and the pain penetrated to the bones...
He gently wiped away the tears on Gu Xiwan's face with his fingertips and said softly,
"Just say it."
Gu Xiwan looked back at the villa that she had not yet decided whether to rent.
"I have always wanted to take my mother out of Royal Residence, but with your intervention, no one was willing to rent a house to me. Today, someone is finally willing to rent a house to me, but I haven't decided yet whether to rent this person's house. Once I decide, I will take my mother to live here, and when the time comes, I hope you won’t stop us, lest we hurt our harmony.”
The moment she finished speaking, Gu Xiwan clearly felt Chu Lingjue's hand trembling on her back.
At the same time, Chu Lingjue's originally gentle eyes turned into shock.
"Now, you don't want to live peacefully with me, but you are still thinking about separating from me?!"
Gu Xiwan expected that Chu Lingjue would explode, so she gently pushed Chu Lingjue away, and calmly stepped away from his arms, saying calmly,
"You knew that I planned to separate from you the day I came out to rent a house. You also knew that I would move out as soon as I rented a house. You don't have to be so excited."
"What?!"
Chu Lingjue, who was very good at controlling his emotions, had his Adam's apple rolling with anger and his dark eyebrows were trembling. He stared at Gu Xiwan in disbelief.
"Gu Xiwan! You planned to separate from me before because you didn't forgive me, but it's different now. You just told me you love me this morning!"
"this……"
Gu Xiwan couldn't help but panic.
The moment Chu Lingjue dismantled the bomb for her, Gu Xiwan thought that she and Chu Lingjue would die together, so she desperately revealed her feelings to Chu Lingjue.
If he had known that he and Chu Lingjue could survive, how could Gu Xiwan have said that to Chu Lingjue!
"This...how to say...actually...you misunderstood..."
Gu Xiwan calmed down for a while before barely regaining her composure.
She was so worried that she simply refused to admit her fault and said forcefully,
"Yes! You misunderstood!
You must have heard the saying that when a person is about to die, his words are also kind, right?
At that time, I saw that you were willing to risk dying with me to save me. I thought, since you risked your life for me, I should always say something to make you happy and coax you, right? So, I told you that white lie...
So, Chu Lingjue, you really misunderstood, that is not my sincere words, I don't love you. "
At this moment, Gu Xiwan clearly saw Chu Lingjue's body shaking.
He stared at Gu Xiwan in a daze, as if he was a fatally wounded person. The intense pain made him freeze in place, unable to make a sound for a moment, but in those clear eyes that were fixed on Gu Xiwan, that The intense loss and sadness made Gu Xiwan unable to breathe.
Gu Xiwan felt guilty for telling these lies in order to save her self-esteem.
Seeing Chu Lingjue's eyes like this, Gu Xiwan felt even more ashamed. She could no longer look directly into Chu Lingjue's eyes. She blushed, turned around, and ran away as if running away.
"Gu Xiwan, stop!"
Chu Lingjue had long legs and long steps. He caught up with Gu Xiwan in one stride and grabbed her wrist from behind.
"I don't care what you say, I don't allow you to separate from me. From now on, there will only be widowhood between you and me, no separation!"
In an anxious mood, Chu Lingjue's hands were so hard that his fingers dug deeply into Gu Xiwan's flesh, leaving five blood-red fingerprints on Gu Xiwan's white and greasy skin.
Gu Xiwan was completely unconscious.
But Chu Lingjue's last words were like a needle-point that stabbed her heart hard, hurting her so much that her eyes filled with tears again.
Gu Xiwan's lips trembled violently, but she tried her best to calmly say,
"Chu Lingjue, you have always been able to take things up and let them go. Why are you so stubborn towards me?"
"because I love you!"
Chu Lingjue's clear voice and warm lips came to Gu Xiwan.
Before, Gu Xiwan could hold back her tears, but at this moment, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and hot tears spread like crazy on her face.
"In the past, I mistakenly thought that you were an indiscreet girl. I mistakenly thought that you were pregnant with someone else's child, but I still fell in love with you uncontrollably. So, if you want to keep this child, I will let you." , I just want to grow old with you in peace;
Now, I know that the girl I was with that night was you. It was our first time with each other. You were pregnant with my child...
In this case, I will cherish this hard-won marriage even more. Whether you love me or not, I will hold you firmly in my hand and never let you go. "
Because of his true feelings, Chu Lingjue's voice was slightly hoarse, but even more magnetic and pleasant.
"..." Gu Xiwan's tears flowed even more fiercely. She took several deep breaths before she could speak,
"In this case, I will open the sky and talk to you. Chu Lingjue, the reason why I insist on separating from you is because you and Sheng Xinyi are no longer connected. You want me to be with you, unless you completely cut off all contact with Sheng Xinyi. And promise to never meet her again in this life."
"Wanwan!"
Looking at Gu Xiwan's trembling figure, Chu Lingjue's eyes were filled with tenderness and compassion.
said softly,
"You know what kind of suffering I have caused to Yiyi's family. It is a debt that I cannot repay no matter how much I try to compensate her. It is also an eternal regret in my heart. What's more, my mentor - your father -
The person he loved most during his lifetime was Yiyi. If I cut off contact with her, how could I live with my conscience? "
"I do not care!"
Gu Xiwan decisively shook off Chu Lingjue's hand and gently stroked her belly with her palm.
"If you really love me, I will be your only one. Otherwise, I would rather not have this love! So, between Sheng Xinyi and me, you can only choose one. You should make your decision early."
After saying these words, she took steps again and walked forward decisively.
Chu Lingjue looked at her cold and arrogant figure intently, and suddenly his eyes darkened.
"Gu Xiwan, you can't escape my grasp!"
Gu Xiwan's steps were confused, but she did not stop, nor did she look back at Chu Lingjue. She immediately adjusted her pace and walked away quickly.
