Wu Lihong didn't tell her what he meant; he just wanted her to believe in herself.

"You only have this one chance. Without my support, your family will not agree to you being with him."

With just that one sentence, Wu Lizhen wavered.

"Let me think about it."

Wu Lizhen said in a low voice.

"Okay, remember what I said, don't let me down," Wu Lihong said gently.

Wu Lizhen nodded and turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Wu Lihong's eyes gradually turned cold. This younger sister was such a worry!

Wu Lizhen walked out of the study with a gloomy face. After returning to her bedroom, she plopped down on the bed, her heart filled with resentment. Why couldn't her family understand her?

She doesn't want to marry a man she doesn't love!

However, for the sake of her family's interests, she had no choice but to marry him; otherwise, her brother and the entire Wu family would be destroyed by the Gu family.

But she was unwilling to accept it!

She's not young anymore, how much of her youth does she have left? Why should her life be destroyed like this?

She's trying to escape!

She wants to leave!

Thinking of this, she stood up and ran outside.

Not long after, Wu Lihong received a call from the housekeeper. Upon hearing that his sister had driven off, he snorted coldly and ordered, "Send someone to bring her back!"

Then I hung up the phone.

Wu Lihong stood in front of the window, looking at the sky outside, a cold glint in his eyes.

Since his sister is unwilling, then he shouldn't be blamed!

He must succeed this time!

Wu Lihong's eyes gleamed with a determined light; he was confident that the title of the number one family on Yezhou Island was his for the taking!

Meanwhile, Wu Lizhen drove away from home, heading towards the suburbs.

She felt extremely wronged.

Why is her brother suddenly forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do?

She's not stupid; her brother clearly wanted to trick her into marrying him.

Otherwise, how could she be with the person she loves after being married into another family?

Are there any men in this world who would willingly wear a green hat (be cuckold's hat)?

So her brother was just lying to her.

Wu Lizhen drove to a mountaintop in the suburbs and cried uncontrollably, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Wu Lizhen suddenly heard footsteps.

Wu Lizhen wiped away her tears and looked up. When she saw one of the familiar figures, she was stunned.

What is he doing here?

???

Gu Chenge's vacation is over.

He has to go back to work tomorrow morning, and he wants to have dinner with Wu Xiaoxiao tonight.

Wu Xiaoxiao was very happy, and she also wanted to thank Gu Chenge, after all, he had helped her time and time again, and he was leaving tomorrow.

Am I really so unworthy of her affection?

"No way, I'm just happy that you can have dinner with me."

Wu Xiaoxiao gave him a playful glare.

"Yeah?"

Doesn't he eat with her every day?

Gu Chenge looked at her suspiciously. Why did he feel that her smile seemed a little forced?

"You don't believe me?" Wu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, looking like she was about to get angry.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I find it strange that you’re acting so sad when you’re clearly happy.” Gu Chenge sighed.

Wu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, her voice softening slightly, but it was normal.

"I'm not sad. I was just thinking that you're leaving tomorrow, so I should celebrate with you."

"celebrate?"

Gu Chenge was surprised. Was she not even pretending anymore?

"Of course!" Wu Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. "After you leave, I can go find a job and won't be idle all day like a parasite."

Gu Chenge's lips twitched; he felt that his charm was getting worse and worse.

Perhaps she didn't see him as her boyfriend.

Gu Chenge nodded: "Alright, how do you want to celebrate for me?"

Wu Xiaoxiao asked him with a smile, "Should I cook myself?"

"Okay, thank you for dinner."

"What are you thanking me for? You're my boyfriend!"

Gu Chenge: "..."

He didn't realize he was her boyfriend.

Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "By the way, when are you leaving tomorrow? Do you want me to help you pack?"

"No need."

Gu Chenge shook his head; he didn't need to bring any luggage.

Wu Xiaoxiao insisted, "Yes, I am your girlfriend, of course I have to take care of your food, clothing and shelter."

Gu Chenge thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded.

So Wu Xiaoxiao went to prepare dinner first, and Gu Chenge followed her into the kitchen. Seeing her busy for him, he felt warm inside. He helped wash the vegetables from time to time, as if they were living as a married couple.

Wu Xiaoxiao prepared a table full of fancy dishes and opened a bottle of red wine, and Gu Chenge enjoyed the meal immensely.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Wu Xiaoxiao asked him.

"Delicious," Gu Chenge said sincerely.

"Try this."

Wu Xiaoxiao cut a piece of steak and held it to his mouth.

Gu Chenge's eyes sparkled as he watched her open her mouth, take the beef from the tip of her chopsticks, chew a few times, and swallow it, his gaze fixed on Wu Xiaoxiao.

It was as if he wasn't eating beef, but rather her.

Full of sexual tension.

Wu Xiaoxiao blushed and her heart raced as he stared at her.

"It's so tender and fragrant, it's absolutely delicious!"

Gu Chenge praised her sincerely.

Wu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly: "Eat as much as you like, that's how you gain weight."

“…I don’t need to gain weight.” Gu Chenge’s lips twitched slightly.

Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said "Oh".
