Chapter 62 Confession?

"Mom, please go over quickly."

"Don't worry about me, I'm with my uncle.

Don't worry, uncle will take good care of me."

Gu Jinxi said as he looked up at Chen Hechuan.

"Isn't it, uncle?"

As he spoke, he winked at Shen Hechuan.

Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth and nodded with a dark face.

"yes."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Jinxi."

However, his voice sounded a bit gnashed.

*****

Luo Ziqian took Gu Jingchun to the depths of the peach forest.

There is a huge peach tree here.

The branches and leaves are lush, and the peach blossoms are densely packed, which is very beautiful.

Gu Jingchun stood under the tree, and peach petals fell in the wind, landing on Gu Jingchun's body and face. The beauty was so overwhelming that Luo Ziqian couldn't take his eyes off her.

He looked at her and murmured unconsciously.

"Jingchun, you..."

Gu Jingchun also spoke at this time.

"you……"

The two of them spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.

Luo Ziqian smiled and spoke first.

"You speak first."

Gu Jingchun smiled, then reached into his sleeve, took out a piece of paper, opened it and handed it to Luo Ziqian.

"Here are a few shops I just bought. Mr. Luo, you can take a look."

Luo Ziqian took it and looked up with some doubt, then heard Gu Jingchun continue:

"I said before that after we get married, I will help you with business."

"These shops are my investment capital.

In addition, I will give you another 10,000 taels of silver as capital, which can be regarded as your starting capital and also as the reward for your marriage with me."

"remuneration?"

Luo Ziqian frowned, his face turning pale.

His heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss, falling continuously.

But Gu Jingchun nodded.

"right."

“If it weren’t for you, His Majesty wouldn’t have granted the marriage.

Then I wouldn’t have been rescued from the quagmire of Yong’an Marquis Mansion so quickly.

So, strictly speaking, you are indebted to me.

But marrying me does not add anything to your reputation.

Therefore, this ten thousand taels is both a thank you and compensation to you."

Moreover, after she "dies", it is inevitable that some people in Tiandu City will give him the reputation of being a wife-killer, which can be regarded as compensation for him.

But when Luo Ziqian heard this, he chuckled.

"Oh……"

"Miss Gu is really generous."

He said, taking a step back.

"I didn't know I was so valuable that Miss Gu actually spent so much money on my shop."

Gu Jingchun was a little confused by this.

Wasn't this agreed upon from the beginning?

But why does Luo Ziqian look angry?

Could it be that the money given was too little?

So, Gu Jingchun looked at his expression and spoke tentatively.

"If you're not satisfied, I can give you a little more money."

"As for these shops, they are all in good locations. As long as we manage them diligently, they will definitely be profitable."

After all, these shops were carefully prepared by her.

However, she was in a hurry to get away and could not sell the shop at a high price. Instead of letting others make a profit, it would be better to give the shop to Luo Ziqian directly.

When Luo Ziqian heard this, his face became even uglier.

He glared at Gu Jingchun, a rare look of anger on his face.

"You...in your eyes, is there nothing else besides money?"

Luo Ziqian thought of the conversation he had just had with Chen Hechuan in the woods.

Even when he learned that Gu Jingchun was the woman in Shen Hechuan's heart, he did not give up.

Instead, he looked directly into Shen Hechuan's eyes and said in a firm tone:

“I don’t care what your relationship was before, but now she is my fiancée, so she is mine.

Unless he leaves on his own initiative, I will never let go of her hand."

"Even if you were the crown prince, I wouldn't let you go."

He thought at the time that where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be opened.

Even if Gu Jingchun doesn't have him in her heart now, she must have some feelings for him. One day, she will be moved by him.

But, he was ultimately affected by this sudden news.

Therefore, he brought people here eagerly, wanting to make things clear and express his intentions.

However, he didn't expect that before he could even utter a word, Gu Jingchun poured a bucket of cold water on him.

And at this time on the peach tree.

A big one and a small one were lying among the dense flowers, carefully watching the two people under the tree.

Gu Jinxi, who was standing by, saw Luo Ziqian getting angry for no reason and asked in a low voice with some doubt:

"Uncle, why is Uncle Luo angry for no reason?

Doesn't he like money and shops?"

Shen Hechuan, who was beside him, was in a good mood when he learned that the two got married because of money and the shop. Hearing this, he explained:

"That's because he doesn't understand your mother's thoughts."

Gu Jinxi was still confused.

"But, isn't he my future father?"

"It's said in the storybooks that husband and wife are in tune with each other, so how could he not understand my mother's thoughts?

How can you be my father if you don't understand my mother's thoughts?"

When Chen Hechuan heard this, his eyes turned and he had an idea in his mind.

"That means he's not worthy of being your father."

He said, and then continued to persuade:

"How about you find a new father for your mother?"

Gu Jinxi pouted, thought for a while, and then slowly shook her head.

"That doesn't count."

Gu Jinxi was very distressed.

"Mother has strictly forbidden me from bringing Dad home casually last time."

"Why?"

Chen Hechuan looked at the two people under the tree and asked casually:

“Because I picked up a dad last time, but my mother didn’t like him.

But I couldn't get rid of it, and my mother had to work very hard to get here."

He said this with a sigh.

"So, you can't just pick up men on the street, or you don't know when they might kill you."

After Gu Jinxi finished speaking, he saw Shen Hechuan staring at him fiercely.

"What man were you talking about?"

Gu Jinxi shook his head upon hearing this.

"I don't know either."

He stopped talking after he finished speaking, but Shen Hechuan didn't intend to let it go and prepared to ask again.

Gu Jinxi also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

Seeing Shen Hechuan's inquiring gaze, he felt a little embarrassed and thought about moving to the side.

However, he didn't realize that he failed to control the strength and the hand holding the branch exerted too much force.

Suddenly, with a "crack", the branch as thick as a forearm broke and fell down.

Chen Hechuan watched the branch fall behind Gu Jingchun, and was stunned for a moment before looking at Gu Jinxi again.

Gu Jinxi, on the other hand, had an expression as if he had made a mistake.

"I... didn't mean to do that."

"I just didn't control the strength well."

After he finished speaking, he heard Gu Jingchun's angry voice coming from below.

"You two, why don't you get down here!"

Under the peach tree.

In the rain of petals.

Shen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi stood side by side.

They lowered their heads, looking as if they had made a mistake.

Gu Jingchun looked at them, his cold eyes constantly sweeping over the two of them.
