In a story, the supporting male role can be an evenly matched opponent, a handy tool person, a brother who shares life and death, or a lifelong enemy that's hard to dispel, the ultimate villain...
Chapter 98: Ensnaring 29
Not worth it.
It was really ironic that these three words came from Gu Zelan.
Gu Zelan probably thought so too and returned to his seat.
After a long while, he broke the silence again and said, "I admit that I am a very selfish person. Leaving my own child behind, no matter how hard it was, is unjustifiable. It is unforgivable, and I am also very ashamed. So, for all these years, I didn't know how to face you. I kept avoiding you, not daring to come back to see you."
Gu Rong curled his lips: "But you can start a new family."
Gu Zelan's face was filled with embarrassment. "Yes, no matter what, I still have a new life. Although I don't want to defend myself, my life outside was not very satisfactory and it was also very difficult. Before I met my current husband, I also had hesitations and resistance. Just like what you just questioned me, I have also thought about it..."
"Then why?"
"Maybe it was because he'd been by my side long enough, or maybe one day I was convinced he was the one, or maybe I was just tired and needed someone by my side. So, with his insistence day after day, I finally agreed and started a new family and a new life."
Gu Zelan said these words with some self-deprecation, but Gu Rong could tell that she was probably very satisfied with her current life and had no regrets.
This is not fair.
So what Gu Rong said was very harsh: "Even if your current husband is better than Chen Fangzhao, aren't you afraid that the final result will be the same?"
But these words did not hurt Gu Zelan.
Gu Zelan just looked at him, her eyes red again, as if she was very regretful and heartbroken.
Gu Rong could only speak up and ask Gu Zelan not to look at him like that.
"sorry."
Gu Zelan spoke again and apologized.
"But there are many possibilities in the future, aren't there?"
"If I continue to hold onto the thought that there will be no good results, then I can only say that the bad results I will get in the end are also my own choices."
Gu Rong was suddenly startled.
Gu Zelan thought for a moment and then said, "Although I can't say that I'm living a happy life now, I'm already very content because I'm managing this family well and want to develop it in a good direction. I think the future results should be good. After all, I'm not the only one working hard."
"Rongrong, I don't know how to tell you this, but you're still very young, and you have a long future ahead of you. You have a much greater margin for error than I do. You can be braver."
Gu Rong didn't say anything for a long time.
Finally he stood up and wanted to leave.
But he was stopped by Gu Zelan.
Gu Zelan's voice was very hesitant and hesitant, but she still asked, "Rongrong, can you...can you forgive me?"
"cannot."
Gu Rong said softly: "There are always unsatisfactory things in life. Let me be your unsatisfactory part. I can't forgive you, but I wish you happiness in the future."
Gu Zelan seemed to be crying again behind him, but Gu Rong did not look back.
He walked out of the box and opened the door, and saw Ling Xiao waiting at the door.
Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to him: "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Gu Rong paused, reached out and held Ling Xiao's hand tightly.
All the way back, the two of them did not let go of each other's hands.
Arriving at the door of the room, Ling Xiao opened the door and pushed Gu Rong in. Then he bent down and took out Gu Rong's slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at Gu Rong's feet. He then naturally gestured to Gu Rong to take off his shoes so that he could put the shoes back into the shoe cabinet. From beginning to end, from bending down to squatting, he did it perfectly naturally.
It was as if they had lived together for a long time, and it had become normal for Ling Xiao to take care of him.
However, Ling Xiao had difficulty squatting in this cramped entrance. Even if he wanted to turn around, he had to stand up a little and make some space. Compared with the environment in the Ling family, this was completely different. I don't know how Ling Xiao could persist in living in this environment, and even seemed to enjoy it.
But if he says he doesn’t know, does he really not know?
Gu Rong reached out and touched Ling Xiao's neck, and his fingers touched the gland on the back of Ling Xiao's neck.
Ling Xiao paused and raised his head.
"Aren't you going to ask what we talked about?"
After Ling Xiao changed his shoes, he stood up and pulled Gu Rong to the living room before asking, "What did you talk about?"
He sat down, leaned back on the sofa, pulled Gu Rong onto his lap and hugged her. His broad shoulders could wrap Gu Rong completely in it, making her feel very safe.
Gu Rong lowered his eyes and took a look.
"What's wrong?"
As Ling Xiao asked, pheromones were released. Rarely, the spicy aroma of wood and liquor seemed less pungent, and instead gave people a comfortable feeling of being slightly tipsy.
"Nothing."
Gu Rong spoke.
Just discovered more details.
"Gu Zelan is living a good life now."
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Are you happy or unhappy?"
“I’m not happy, but I’m not unhappy either. I’m just unwilling to accept it.”
"But she will definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life for abandoning you."
"I know, that's why I didn't ask her if she regretted leaving me."
Gu Rong gradually relaxed and continued, "It has already happened. There is no point in asking if I regret it later. It is a fact that she left me, so I just told her that I will not forgive her. For the rest of her life, I will be a thorn in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable when she thinks about it, and that way I will feel better."
"Am I very bad?"
After Gu Rong finished speaking, he looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "What a bad thing you did. It's just a word of unforgiveness. If you ask me, I can do more."
"That's not necessary."
"I know."
Ling Xiao reached out and touched Gu Rong's head: "I just want to tell you that all principles are principles when they are in front of you. I helped you find Gu Zelan's whereabouts, not to make you forgive her, but just to put an end to this matter, whether it is good or bad, I think you may need a result, that's all."
"Also, I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. So I hope that after you meet Gu Zelan, the first person you see will be me."
Gu Rong blinked: "Suspension bridge effect?"
Ling Xiao exclaimed, "Ah!" "You found out."
Then he sighed and said, "You are always so smart, but what can I do?"
"It's not useless."
"Um?"
Gu Rong tilted her head, smiled lightly, and then continued, "Although Gu Zelan's first marriage couldn't be called a failure, her second marriage was really terrible. Despite this, she was able to accept a third marriage and even had the energy to enlighten me. This is really..."
As he said this, Gu Rong couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed a little funny again.
"Why should she?"
"But I really don't want to be worse than her."
Ling Xiao listened and gradually straightened his back, and the arms around Gu Rong couldn't help but tightened a lot.
Something in the air seemed to be gaining in concentration.
Gu Rong's breathing became rapid, and the glands at the back of his neck began to heat up and beat. He wanted to leave Ling Xiao's knees and look for an inhibitor, but Ling Xiao held him tighter in his arms.
"Baby, you don't have a pheromone disorder."
Ling Xiao whispered, "Haven't you noticed? You're in heat now."
Pheromone disorder will cause the body to react with pain due to the imbalance of pheromones. But now, Gu Rong's body is soft and hot, as if longing for something. She automatically and spontaneously entangles herself with the pheromones released by Ling Xiao. Moreover, some of her body reactions also begin to become wrong, as if something is about to overflow from under her body.
Gu Rong was a little frightened and his body stiffened.
"Are there any normal suppressants at home?"
Ling Xiao's voice was a little hoarse.
Gu Rong gasped, shook her head, reached out and grabbed Ling Xiao's collar, rubbing her nose against Ling Xiao's neck, like a little animal seeking comfort, subconsciously moving closer, absorbing the warmth and scent of Ling Xiao's body, but felt ashamed of her body's reaction, conflicted and struggling, her legs twisted together.
Ling Xiao suddenly realized that this was Gu Rong's first estrus period.
His heart softened, and he wished he could throw everything in front of Gu Rong, and even crush Gu Rong into pieces and rub it into his own body.
But in the end, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Then you stay home and I'll go buy some inhibitors, okay?"
Having said that, Ling Xiao was about to put Gu Rong down.
But the next second, his arm was grabbed by Gu Rong.
Gu Rong raised her head in Ling Xiao's arms, her eyes red, and whispered, "Isn't having you enough?"
All of a sudden, Gu Rong's waist was pinched tightly.
Ling Xiao asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what you are saying?"
Gu Rong grabbed Ling Xiao's collar: "Aren't we in love? Or do you want me and the inhibitor--"
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
Ling Xiao thought, screw the inhibitors.
He was stupid and still wanted Gu Rong to take inhibitors.
This was like a release signal, meaning that the gap opened by Gu Rong had widened again, and Ling Xiao had to fill it in and make Gu Rong complete.
He laid Gu Rong down on the sofa and kissed the gland on the back of Gu Rong's neck.
"The estrus period will also last for a few days."
Ling Xiao's voice was hoarse. At this moment, he had to admit his despicable behavior because his motives for speaking were not pure. "But school starts the day after tomorrow. I can't guarantee that I can get you through your estrus period before school starts if I only temporarily mark you. But you know, baby, there are more than one way to inject you with pheromones."
Gu Rong lay under Ling Xiao, his eyes red and moist from the heat of hornyness. He cursed in a low voice, sounding even soft: "Are you going to take advantage of me?"
"How could that be?"
Ling Xiao kissed Gu Rong's eyes and licked away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes: "I just want you to have a smooth start to school."
"But if you don't want to, I won't force you—"
"Ling Xiao, what do you want to do after the college entrance examination?"
Gu Rong suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, but still answered subconsciously: "I want to be admitted to the same university as you."
"We go to school together, graduate together, work together, and live a normal life together. I will take you on trips and do everything you want to do."
"Gu Rong, I want to marry you."
Ling Xiao looked down at Gu Rong, as if he knew what he wanted to hear at this moment, and said according to his heart: "All my future plans include you."
"You can't escape."
Gu Rong closed her eyes and put her arms around Ling Xiao's neck: "Then I can try not to run away."
