Chapter 68 Three-legged Toad

"Gu Xizhou, you... oh, let me go."

The girl in an exquisite dress and with two braids had her wrist pinched by Gu Xizhou. Her face turned pale with pain and she kept shouting in pain.

Gu Xizhou saw the girl's face clearly, let go of her hand, and said helplessly, "Xia Qiange, why are you here?"

Xia Qiange rubbed his wrist, and when he heard Gu Xizhou's words, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"You didn't expect that! You're my fiancé, isn't it normal for me to come visit my fiancé?"

Gu Xizhou interrupted, "Xia Qiange, I have nothing to do with you."

Seeing Gu Xizhou's stern face, Xia Qiange shrank her neck in fear. However, after catching a glimpse of Su Nanzhi from the corner of her eye, she still stood up straight with a firm face, "Our marriage was arranged by Uncle Gu and my father. In the countryside, this is a set in stone."

The Xia family is right next to the Gu family. She grew up following Gu Xizhou and her brother. She has always wanted to marry Gu Xizhou since she was a child. Even if Gu Xizhou did not treat her well, she did not get discouraged.

Even though there were so many women outside the compound coveting Gu Xizhou, she didn't take it to heart.

She was the future daughter-in-law recognized by Uncle Gu, and although Gu Xizhou hated her constant clinging, he could do nothing about her.

This also shows that she is special to Gu Xizhou.

When she was feeling smug, Gu Xizhou didn't care about her face at all.

"Xia Qiange, Fu Weidong has nothing to do with me."

His face darkened, and his expression was so ugly that Xia Qiange had no doubt that if she said the word "Qin" again, Gu Xizhou would turn against her.

But seeing the way everyone was looking at her, she felt unwilling and ashamed. Finally, after seeing Su Nanzhi beside her, she did not hide her anger at all, "What are you looking at?"

Su Nanzhi didn't expect to meet Gu Xizhou's fiancée, and she didn't expect that she would be affected by this nameless anger.

"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

Su Nanzhi sneered, stood up and wanted to leave this place of trouble, but her wrist was grabbed by Xia Qiange.

"Are you Su Nanzhi, the woman from the countryside? Remember, Gu Xizhou is engaged. Even though your fiancé has been snatched away by someone, don't dwell on him."

After she arrived at the army yesterday afternoon, she heard the gossip between Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou. If she hadn't wanted to give Gu Xizhou a surprise, she would have come to settle the score with Su Nanzhi yesterday afternoon.

But she didn't expect to see Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou sitting together as soon as she entered the auditorium today.

Su Nanzhi was so surprised that she did not immediately pull away Xia Qiange's hand.

She knew every word Xia Qiange said, but when they were put together, she didn't understand.

She? Seducing Gu Xizhou?

Seeing Xia Qiange's confident look, Su Nanzhi was about to speak, but Gu Xizhou took the lead and pulled away Xia Qiange's hand.

"Xia Qiange, that's enough!" Gu Xizhou shouted at Xia Qiange, then turned to look at Su Nanzhi, "Comrade Su, I'm sorry, Xia Qiange has been spoiled by her family, please don't bother with her."

Su Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth and originally wanted to mock Xia Qiange, but after seeing Gu Xizhou's anxious look, she suddenly felt it was a bit boring.

She pulled the corner of her mouth, "Your business has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Su Nanzhi turned around and walked out of the auditorium.

She's just wasting her time by attending some social gathering.

When Gu Xizhou saw Su Nanzhi turn around and leave without any hesitation, he immediately became anxious. He stepped forward and wanted to chase Su Nanzhi, but was stopped by Xia Qiange.

"Gu Xizhou, I don't allow you to go."

Although it was only a few minutes of contact, she could already see the difference in Su Nanzhi in Gu Xizhou's eyes.

If she lets go now, Gu Xizhou may never belong to her again.

Thinking of this, she grabbed Gu Xizhou's hand a little tighter, and Gu Xizhou couldn't break free for a moment.

"Xia Qiange, I don't want my relationship with your brother to be affected by you."

After saying that, Gu Xizhou shook off Xia Qiange's hand and strode out of the auditorium.

***

Su Nanzhi walked out of the auditorium and came to the small garden beside it. She sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree. The slightly cool breeze blew on her face, calming her somewhat irritable heart a little.

The breeze gently caressed her hair, ruffling it. Su Nanzhi stroked her own hair and finally loosened her own braid.

Her curly hair fluttered in the wind, and Su Nanzhi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Don't have expectations, there will be no disappointment.

At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself. She had a good impression of Gu Xizhou.

This good impression made her want to show her best self in front of Gu Xizhou.

But Gu Xizhou couldn’t see it, nor did he need to.

She chuckled at the thought.

Maybe it was because she was getting younger, and girls were always in love. When she met more men, Gu Xizhou's figure might fade away...

Besides, Gu Xizhou is a short-lived person, so she should cut her losses in time.

Su Nanzhi showed a faint smile on her face, but it looked uglier than crying.

"Comrade Su."

Gu Xizhou's forehead was covered with sweat, and the anxious expression on his face faded a little after seeing Su Nanzhi's back.

But after noticing that Su Nanzhi was emitting a faint sadness, the anxiety on his face soared several times.

Who upset Comrade Su? Was it him?

When Su Nanzhi heard the voice, she turned around and saw Gu Xizhou's face full of concern and anxiety.

She smiled as if nothing had happened, and said politely to Gu Xizhou: "Captain Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing her smile, Gu Xizhou did not feel relieved, and the anxiety on his face became even more intense.

It shouldn't be like this. Su Nanzhi's face should have a cunning, calm, or happy smile.

Instead of this kind of... polite smile as if meeting a stranger.

"I'm sorry, what Xia Qiange said just now is not true, don't take it to heart."

Gu Xizhou didn't even know how frightened he was as he stared at Su Nanzhi when he said this.

The smile on Su Nanzhi's face froze. She had already hidden far away, but Gu Xizhou still ran to her to explain. Was he so afraid that he had misunderstood Xia Qiange?

"I didn't take it to heart." Su Nanzhi said with a smile, "Besides, I'm not interested in stealing someone else's fiancé."

Gu Xizhou: You said you didn’t take it to heart…

But after hearing Su Nanzhi's words, he felt relieved.

At least Su Nanzhi cares about me a little bit, right? Even if it's just a little bit?

Then he heard Su Nanzhi continue, "Besides, it's hard to find three-legged frogs in this world, but aren't two-legged men everywhere?"

"Although you, Gu Xizhou, are very outstanding, it is not difficult for me, Su Nanzhi, to find a gay man who is better than you."
