Chapter 719 She's marrying me, not selling herself to me.

"Brother Gu, when did you get back?" Bai Luoshuang asked in surprise.

Gu Jingnian, Bai Tan, and He Huaixu were all classmates from junior high to high school.

The Gu and Bai families are close, and he has a decent relationship with his elder brother.

but--

His relationship with He Huaixu wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good either.

He Huaixu, in particular, harbored a strange hostility towards Gu Jingnian.

Every time we meet, he acts like he's not a man, his eyes are unfriendly, and his face is frighteningly cold.

Of course, Gu Jingnian didn't give him a friendly look either.

so.

The two rarely appear together.

"A couple of days ago."

Gu Jingnian sat opposite Bai Luoshuang, a gentle smile on his handsome face, his voice so soft it was almost unbelievable: "You're married now, and you look much more mature than before. You're no longer that little girl who would smile at me and beg me to buy her ice cream."

"Um."

Bai Luoshuang smiled and nodded, then said softly, "We got married three years ago. At that time, you were studying abroad, and I was afraid of interfering with your studies, so I didn't send you a message."

not to mention--

Her wedding was not a glamorous affair; the fewer people who knew about it, the better, and it was kept extremely simple.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing Bai Luoshuang's words, a complex expression flashed across Gu Jingnian's face, and he said dejectedly, "Shuangshuang, you should have informed them."

If he had known, he would have rushed back.

There are many things I didn't have time to tell her, and many feelings I didn't have time to express, that I should let her know.

Especially knowing how outrageous their talk about marriage is.

He felt even more remorseful.

He thought that since she liked He Huaixu so much, she had gotten what she wanted and would be very happy.

So after he learned that she was married, he blocked all news related to them in China.

Until two weeks ago.

I overheard that she was unhappy in her marriage, and recently there have been reports of marital discord.

He temporarily ended his work and returned to China.

Whether it's divine intervention or a case of someone coming from behind to surpass the best, it's all part of the story.

This time, he won't miss it again.

"Um?"

Bai Luoshuang met his gaze, a hint of confusion on her face, before smiling and asking, "What's wrong? A little disappointed that you didn't give a congratulatory gift?"

"Yes." Gu Jingnian swallowed back the words that were about to come out, his expression not very good: "I also wanted to personally give you my blessings."

pity.

He learned of Shuangshuang's marriage half a month later, when it was already a done deal.

This girl thought she was hiding it well, and that no one could tell she liked He Huaixu.

He figured it out.

"Shuangshuang, how are you doing?" Gu Jingnian asked in a low voice. "Is He Huaixu treating you well?"

"..."

Bai Luoshuang was slightly taken aback, but quickly concealed the worry on her face and revealed a bright smile: "It's fine, it's just that he's a bit busy with work and we can't see him for the time being, otherwise I would have brought him to have dinner with you."

good?

Gu Jingnian frowned, his eyes cold.

Having known her for many years, he could still tell whether her words were true or false.

She looked terribly haggard, and even her smiles seemed forced.

She is having a very bad time.

"Shuangshuang, I don't want you to wrong yourself." Gu Jingnian wanted to stroke her hair gently as before, but then he remembered that she was already a married woman, and he suppressed his impulse and said, "No matter what happens, I will always be behind you and be your strongest support."

besides……

I'll stay in the same place forever, waiting for you to turn around.

"Thank you, Brother Gu." Bai Luoshuang was deeply moved and said, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, "I will handle these matters."

She has a bad reputation and doesn't want to involve anyone else.

They found He Huaixu and discussed the divorce.

She will take her grandmother and leave this troublesome place in Nanzhou.

...

On the other side.

Bai Luoxi, carrying a designer handbag, happily entered the restaurant with her best friend.

Suddenly, she saw two people chatting enthusiastically in the corner, and her smile vanished instantly.

"Isn't that lawyer Gu Jingnian who just returned to China?"

Her sharp-eyed best friend instantly recognized the outstandingly elegant and graceful Gu Jingnian: "Why does the person sitting across from him look so familiar?"

"How could she not look familiar?" another girl shouted. "A big celebrity in Nanzhou, the famous young mistress of the He family."

"Really."

The curly-haired girl chimed in, shaking Bai Luoxi's hand and smiling somewhat sarcasticly: "Luoxi, your older sister is really something else."

"Not only can she get into He Huaixu's bed, but she can also bewitch Attorney Gu."

"Flirtatious woman."

Bai Luoxi glared fiercely at Bai Luoshuang, her jealousy almost overflowing from her eyes. "I have to let Brother He see what Bai Luoshuang is doing when he's not home."

After speaking.

Bai Luoxi took out her phone, secretly took a picture of the two of them, and sent it to He Huaixu.

The angle was perfect; in the photo, Bai Luoshuang is staring at Gu Jingnian with a bright smile on her face.

"snort."

After sending the message successfully, Bai Luoxi smiled with satisfaction. "Let's go get something to eat."

Brother He will definitely be angry when he sees the photo.

——

The capital city.

He Huaixu had just finished his work in the lab when he turned on his phone and a text message popped up.

Xi Xi Zi: "Image.jpg"

Xixi Zi?

He Huaixu tried to recall, but couldn't remember who the person was.

Open the message.

Upon seeing the photo, He Huaixu's fingers trembled, and his gaze instantly dimmed.

A few seconds of silence.

He used two fingers to zoom in on the photo and see the people in it more clearly.

White frost.

Gu Jingnian.

The two sat in the warm-toned restaurant, chatting about something, both with happy smiles on their faces.

laugh?

He Huaixu looked at Bai Luoshuang, and couldn't tell how long it had been since he had seen her smile like that.

So eager to get a divorce, it turns out his white moonlight has returned.

He Huaixu will never forget it.

She woke up in his bed, her face full of surprise: "How come it's you?"

If it wasn't him, who else could it be?

Oh right.

Gu Jingnian is said to have stayed at the same hotel that night.

She thought the person sleeping was Gu Jingnian.

Xi Xizi: "Brother He, have you seen the photos?"

Another text message popped up.

He Huaixu paused for a few seconds, then replied, "I saw it, and then what?"

Xi Xizi: "Aren't you angry? Bai Luoshuang is seeing other men behind your back?"

He Huaixu: "She married me, she didn't sell herself to me. It's her freedom to communicate with whomever she wants."

Xi Xi Zi: ...

He Huaixu: "Besides, it's just having coffee. What are you trying to say about such a normal thing?"

Xi Xizi: "Brother He, I'm just worried about you getting hurt. You know Bai Luoshuang likes Gu Jingnian. What if they rekindle their old flame and do something..."

Gu Jingnian...

Upon seeing these three words, He Huaixu felt a tightness in his chest.

He Huaixu: "Thank you for reminding me, but I trust my wife."

Xi Xi Zi: ?

He Huaixu: "As her sister, you actually made a false accusation in secret. I should be wary of someone like you."

Xi Xi Zi: "Brother He..."

He Huaixu: "Don't you know the rules? Bai Luoshuang is your sister, and I'm your brother-in-law. If I hear anyone maliciously slandering my wife again, I won't be polite."

After sending the last message.

He Huaixu directly put Bai Luoxi on the "blacklist".
