Tonight, Gu's mother will be sleeping in Lin Sisi's room, so Lin Sisi will have to sleep with Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou was relatively polite to Lin Sisi in front of his mother, but once he returned to his room, he didn't even take off his clothes. He just lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and went to sleep.

Lin Sisi had finally managed to sleep in the same bed with him, and she didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She was determined to sleep with Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou ignored her, but she couldn't just sit and wait to die. If she wanted to hook a man, how could she do it without using some tricks?

She took off her clothes and moved to stand in front of Gu Mingzhou, not believing that he could ignore her completely.

As he expected, whether Gu Mingzhou heard his footsteps or the sound of her taking off her clothes, he opened his eyes just as she walked up to him. She had already taken off her top and was taking off her pants.

Gu Mingzhou glanced at it once and quickly closed his eyes. His voice was filled with suppressed anger, as if he were gritting his teeth.

"Lin Sisi, what do you think you're doing? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because my mom is here. Let me tell you, even if you strip naked, I won't look at you twice, let alone touch you. I advise you to give up on that idea."

Lin Sisi angrily started pinching her fingers, but Gu Mingzhou was still the same stubborn person who wouldn't eat meat or vegetables.

“Mingzhou, if you don’t want to touch me, I don’t want to force you. But Mom wants a grandson. How can I give her a grandson if we don’t sleep together? Even if you like me, you should think about Mom’s feelings. Mom wants a grandson so much, let’s grant her wish.”

As she spoke, she took two steps forward, standing just inches away from Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou said he wouldn't look at her, and sure enough, he didn't look at her again. He closed his eyes, turned over neatly, and left her with his cold back.

"Lin Sisi, stop using my mother as an excuse. What mother-in-law doesn't want to hold her grandson? My mother does want to hold her grandson, but it's not to the point where she can't live without him. If you want us to continue being a peaceful couple, then get dressed and lie down on that side of the bed and go to sleep. Don't cause any trouble."

Lin Sisi's chest heaved violently; she was extremely indignant.

She's got both a pretty face and a great figure. Now she's standing naked in front of Gu Mingzhou, and he's completely unmoved. If it were any other man, he probably would have pounced on her by now.

Gu Mingzhou, you blockhead, you stupid bastard.

He couldn't help but think of Lin Qingyan again.

Gu Mingzhou refused to accept her, wasn't it all because of Lin Qingyan?

Thinking back to the way Gu Mingzhou looked at Lin Qingyan at the door this morning, even if he didn't admit it, he still had Lin Qingyan in his heart.

He refused to consummate the marriage with Lin Qingyan for a long time because of her, but she was already married and would never marry him again.

“Gu Mingzhou, even now you still haven’t woken up. Haven’t you seen that Lin Qingyan has already married Lu Zhengting? There’s absolutely no possibility between you two anymore. What’s the use of you remaining chaste for her? You’re thinking about her, but she may not be thinking about you. You’re just deceiving yourself and being delusional.”

"Lin! Si! Si!"

Gu Mingzhou was instantly filled with anger, not because Lin Sisi had revealed his secret, but because he was angry at the thought that Lin Qingyan had married Lu Zhengting and that she was now Lu Zhengting's wife.

Perhaps at this moment, the two of them are doing the most intimate things in bed.

Lin Sisi said these things on purpose to provoke him.

"Lin Sisi, don't waste your time trying to provoke me. I've told you before, I don't touch you, not because of Qingyan. I simply don't like you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Hmph, before Lin Qingyan changed, you were always very good to me. Ever since you went to the countryside that time, you have been protecting Lin Qingyan in every way and trying all sorts of ways to get close to her, and your attitude towards me has changed."

Gu Mingzhou, you've fallen for Lin Qingyan. You've transferred your affections and abandoned her. You used to look down on Lin Qingyan, saying she was no good, no good. Now you can't win her over even if you want to. We might as well just live our own lives.”

Gu Mingzhou's head throbbed from hearing her words.

Yes, he did not like Lin Qingyan back then because she was not pretty enough, not clever enough, not sweet-talking enough, and timid and weak.

When he went to the Lin family's house that time, Lin Sisi was changing clothes in her room without closing the door. He didn't see it by accident; it was something he and Lin Sisi had planned together.

They wanted to use this method to legitimately annul their engagement with Lin Qingyan, so that the two of them could be together smoothly.

He's now kicking himself for it.

He deeply regretted his poor judgment in choosing a woman and losing such a good girl.

If he had paid more attention to Lin Qingyan and spent more time with her back then, perhaps he would have discovered her good qualities and fallen in love with her sooner.

Now that they are married, she is his woman.

He wouldn't have to suffer unrequited love and live with a woman he doesn't love.

He destroyed his own happiness by pushing her away to someone else.

He hated himself, yet he envied Lu Zhengting.

If only I could do all of this again!

His heart ached so much that he was numb and couldn't forgive himself.

Because marriage is a lifelong commitment, he personally destroyed his own lifelong happiness.

He suddenly remembered that Lu Zhengting's three legs were still not healed, so he wished that they would never heal. In time, Lin Qingyan would not want to live a life of widowhood, so why didn't she divorce him?

Therefore, there is still a chance for me and Lin Qingyan.

Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Sisi pressed him, "Mingzhou, don't you understand? It's impossible for you and her, so why not accept me? Let's live a beautiful life together, even better than them."

"Enough! Stop talking!" Gu Mingzhou couldn't help but yell at her. "From now on, you'd better not say a word. I don't want to hear you speak."

"Brother Mingzhou."

"Shut up!"

Gu's mother was still awake. She was about to lie down when she suddenly heard Gu Mingzhou's angry voice. She got out of bed and went to the door of Gu Mingzhou and Lin Sisi's bedroom.

She listened outside the door for a while but didn't hear any other sounds, so she prepared to go back to sleep.

She was not at peace with herself, wondering if there was some conflict between Lin Sisi and Gu Mingzhou, but the two of them were keeping it from her.

It's possible that Lin Sisi's inability to get pregnant is also related to this contradiction.

If Lin Sisi is truly infertile for other reasons, should she still leave the jade pendant to Lin Sisi?
