Chapter 303: The Fake Heiress (12)

He continued talking, still holding Wen Wan's hand. Wen Wan looked at the villagers around her. That's how it is in this village; they love to watch the excitement, especially the Shen family recently, which has been particularly lively.

Wen Wan withdrew her hand. "Young Master Lin, please have some self-respect. Let me be frank, I am no longer a daughter of the Li family. You should know that I was switched at birth, and I have nothing now."

"I don't care, as long as you are Li Qing, that's enough."

"I am not Li Qing, I am now called Shen Qing. Besides, I am really curious. When I liked you and pestered you before, you ignored me. Why do you suddenly want to fulfill the marriage contract and insist on marrying me?"

Lin Baiyu: "I love you."

"I don't believe you're feeling guilty? Why are you looking at me with that guilty look?"

"Xiaoqing, you've misunderstood. I actually like you, but I was willful before and unwilling to accept the arrangements made by my elders. After returning from my trip abroad, I've thought things through. I do like you, and I feel guilty about what happened before. I will make it up to you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future. Please give me a chance to make amends."

Lin Baiyu looked at Xiao Qing across from him earnestly and sincerely. He had originally thought that Xiao Qing liked him, that she would be happy, and that she would look at him with love, just like every time before, but she didn't.

His outstretched hand was rejected. Xiao Qing looked at him as if he were a stranger, not someone she had secretly loved for many years.

"Xiaoqing? What's wrong with you?"

Wen Wan: "I don't know if the Li family has told you that I don't like you anymore, that I have someone else I like, so it's time for us to end things."

"Impossible!!!" Gu Qian grabbed Wen Wan's shoulders, which hurt her. "Let go of me first."

"Impossible, Xiaoqing, how could you like someone else? You're lying to me, aren't you? Are you getting revenge for all the years I've neglected you? I know I was wrong now. Come back, Xiaoqing, let's get married. I'll give you anything you want, and I'll be good to you for the rest of my life."

Wen Wan pried Lin Baiyu's hand away, "Let go, I really don't need it, I don't love you, you're hurting me."

Lin Baiyu looked shocked, even panicked, which puzzled Wen Wan greatly. "System, is this guy sick?"

The system belatedly realized what was happening and said with some difficulty, "I think I know why he's like this now."

What's the reason?

[He was reborn, but it's unknown what happened in his previous life. It's different from the original plot, but in the original plot, Lin Baiyu was a devoted second male lead who only loved Li Xinyue. Even after Li Xinyue got together with the male lead, he still silently protected her. He had no feelings for Li Qing and was even annoyed by her. Even after Li Qing died, he didn't do anything special.]

Something must have gone wrong. I'll go investigate.

"Wait, don't go yet, help me solve the problem first."

System: [The male lead has arrived.]

Then the system disappeared in a flash, and at that moment, Gu Qian grabbed Lin Baiyu's hand and shook it off, then stood in front of Wen Wan.

Lin Baiyu looked at the man in front of him, his eyes filled with uncontrollable hatred. When Wen Wan saw this, she was secretly shocked.

Lin Baiyu hates Gu Qian very much.

It seems something must have happened between the two of them in their past lives.

"Gu Qian? What are you doing here?"

Looking at Xiaoqing, who was still holding Gu Qian's hand, Lin Baiyu couldn't contain his shock. "Xiaoqing, is he the person you said you like?"

Wen Wan pulled Gu Qian, their fingers intertwined, and said, "Yes, I've already said it. The past is the past. I don't like you anymore. I have someone I like. You should leave now."

"Impossible, how could you possibly like him? Impossible, Xiaoqing, come with me."

Lin Baiyu tried to pull Wen Wan away, but Gu Qian stopped him, saying, "She told you to get lost, didn't you hear her?"

"Who do you think you are? Xiaoqing is my fiancée. We're the only couple. What right do you have to stop me?" Lin Baiyu looked Gu Qian up and down. "What right do you have to stop me? You're just a poor country bumpkin who dropped out of high school, with a penniless air about you. Xiaoqing won't be happy with you. Can you buy her the bags she likes? Can you buy her the cars she likes? Do you have the money for those custom-made dresses she likes? You can't give Xiaoqing anything. What right do you have to stop me from taking Xiaoqing away?"

Gu Qian: "She said she won't leave with you."

"She's just throwing a tantrum with me. We grew up together, and she's always loved me. Our misunderstanding will be cleared up."

Wen Wan stood behind Gu Qian and refused, "There's no misunderstanding. I don't like you, I won't go back to the Li family, and I won't marry you. Give up."

"Xiaoqing, are you saying this out of anger? You're still angry, aren't you?"

Wen Wan is numb.

She reached out and pulled Gu Qian over, then put her arm around his and kissed him on the cheek. The villagers watching the scene erupted in cheers. Wen Wan was stunned, but the key was still to make Lin Baiyu give up.

"See? We are truly in love, it's not fake, you should leave now."

Lin Baiyu stared at the two of them with wide eyes.

Seemingly shocked, Wen Wan pulled Gu Qian away, and Lin Baiyu didn't even have time to react.

Wen Wan quickly pulled Gu Qian away, saying, "I'm so sorry, I did this to make him give up on me. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and won't let your future lover know. Even if he does find out, I will explain it to you and make sure you uphold proper male virtues."

Gu Qian: "I don't care about myself, but if you do this again and again, there are no secrets in the village, and your reputation will be damaged."

"That's alright, I'm not staying here for long anyway."

"Are you leaving?" Gu Qian looked at Wen Wan, who nodded. "I've taken a half-year leave of absence from school. I'll have to go back to Lin City for university. I plan to bring my grandmother over with me, but I don't know if she'll be willing."

Gu Qian felt a sense of loss. Why did he expect this person to stay? She didn't belong here at all; she was out of place in this village. She was bound to leave eventually.

"Oh right, Xinyue called last time and asked me to give you her number. She also sent you a cell phone. I'll go get it for you."

Wen Wan ran home, and Gu Qian couldn't stop her even when he tried to call her.

Wen Wan took the phone that Li Xinyue had sent back and gave it to Gu Qian. Gu Qian didn't want it at first, but Wen Wan persuaded him. This was the phone that the female lead and her childhood sweetheart had bought for them. They could contact each other on a daily basis. If he didn't take it, wouldn't he be letting down the female lead's good intentions?

"It's just a phone. You two are such good friends. If you really don't want to accept this sentiment, then just give it back to her when you have the money." But that's probably not going to happen. After all, if the male and female leads get together in the future, what does this phone matter?

Wen Wan originally thought that she had made her point so clearly that Lin Baiyu should give up. After all, this young master of the Lin family wouldn't do anything disgraceful, right?
