Chapter 30 Chapter 30 She disgusted him and made him jealous...
Gu Shi was stunned by Lingchuan's question. He didn't expect that she would go through so much trouble just to ask him if he was jealous.
Did she want him to be jealous?
After all, he was the one who made the mistake first, so it was understandable that she felt insecure. But he didn't think Lingchuan couldn't see that he loved her, rather, it was quite the opposite.
She often has a smug and contented look.
She took all the preferential treatment he gave her for granted, so she didn't feel flattered. She just treated his love as a jewel necklace, hanging it around her neck to show off.
She was deliberately trying to bring up the past to make him feel guilty, and then use this to torture and control him.
Gu Shi thought he had seen through her tricks, walked over to her, held her hand and said:
"I'm not so confident that I don't even have that much. He doesn't deserve my jealousy."
"That's good."
He felt Lingchuan's hand in his palm suddenly relax.
An inexplicable panic and anxiety hit his heart. Why did she suddenly feel relieved?
He reached out and lifted her chin, looking at her face carefully. Her eyebrows were not trimmed and had many stray hairs, but it did not affect her appearance at all. Instead, it complemented her cold and charming watery eyes.
He reached out and touched her straight and moderately high nose bridge, and then touched her slightly dry lips.
Gu Shi was deeply disgusted with his own uneasiness and suddenly pinched her chin.
Lingchuan groaned due to the sudden pain under his hand, and this low groan, which was simply caused by pain, made him even more uneasy.
There is no doubt that jealousy can lead to servility. A jealous man will be tormented by excessive attention to someone and will constantly suspect that someone is trying to take his woman away.
The obsession caused by this suspicion would stimulate his absurd imagination. Gu Shi lied casually, trying to trick Lingchuan:
"Did you know that Qin Sizhao came to see me?"
Lingchuan's hands curled up again because of nervousness. He forced her hands apart and inserted his fingers between her fingers.
His absurd intuition turned out to be correct... Lingchuan was indeed hiding something from him...
Gu Shi shook off Ling Chuan's hand. He was so angry that he wanted to get rid of her and get rid of his unconditional love for her.
He wanted to make Lingchuan seem ordinary and insignificant, so he examined her from head to toe and recalled everything about their past.
"Oh, I don't understand anything about the court, so don't tell me."
Seeing that Lingchuan was still pretending to be relaxed and dumb, he asked:
"Do you think it's a matter of the court?"
"Then what else can it be..."
Lingchuan felt a chill on his back and gritted his teeth, not daring to say anything more.
"It was just that day on the boat that Lord Qin came to my rescue, that's all."
"No private exchange?"
"No."
Lingchuan didn't know what Qin Sizhao had said, and she almost gritted her teeth. She had clearly warned him about everything, so how could he be so careless.
She could only avoid the important issues.
"It's just that Lord Qin saw that you couldn't tolerate me, and Zhen Fei wasn't a good match. He had just arrived in the capital and needed a large sum of money to settle down, so he inquired about my interest. But that was all in the past, and it ended before we even started."
"He's just attracted by the money in my dowry. He's no different from Zhen Fei."
"So what are you worried about?"
When she looked up, she met a pair of red eyes. His eyes were full of scrutiny, like an angry judge who was ready to dig out her heart and examine it carefully at any time.
"I...what do I have to worry about?"
Lingchuan raised her head and asked back. She already knew in her heart that Gu Shi was most likely deceiving her.
His intuition is so accurate that he can discover things without any clues.
"Lingchuan, you are worried about Qin Sizhao."
"Well, after all, he was helping me out of good intentions and never insulted me in any way, so I naturally don't want to implicate him."
"Besides that, nothing else?"
"Well, nothing."
He interrogated Lingchuan not to stop her betrayal or to punish her, but to get rid of his unconditional love for her.
Even though he was reluctant, he had to admit that Lingchuan would affect his mind, and he just wanted to get rid of his slave mentality towards her.
Lingchuan nodded.
What she said was the truth. Apart from that, there was really nothing between her and Qin Sizhao.
Gu Shi felt relieved. In his heart, he questioned himself how he could become so despicable and actually truly think that her loyalty was a gift.
He stood behind her, holding her chin with his hand, twisting her face and continuing to question:
"Are you in love with him? Even just a little bit?"
"Of course."
Lingchuan looked straight into his eyes.
"But what does this mean to me? Can I get rid of you just by liking you?"
Gu Shi felt like he was stabbed in the heart. The hand on her chin kept shaking. He bit his lower lip hard. His hand could easily have strangled her to death on her throat, but in his heart he only regretted asking this question.
Even if he knew, what could he do? He couldn't do anything.
After all, it was he who took the initiative to ask Lingchuan to get married, so he didn't even have the right to blame Lingchuan for being unfaithful.
He desperately tried to remove his gaze from Lingchuan's face and asked in a trembling voice:
"If a man says he's willing to marry you, you'll have some feelings for him deep down, right?"
"Yeah, after all, you're the one who said no one wants to marry me, so if someone is willing, I'm naturally very grateful. Even a little bit of affection wouldn't be too much, right?"
This may not be true... Gu Shi thought desperately.
He wished that this was just a trick of Lingchuan to lure him into abandoning his bottom line. She said this just to torture him and turn him into a jealous madman.
He compared Qin Sizhao's personal conditions with his own in all aspects again and came to the conclusion that Qin Sizhao was far inferior to him.
There is nothing wrong with that kind of man. In other words, he has no characteristics or personality. He is like a bowl of ordinary white noodles. How can you compare with him?
She must not have really liked him. She was unruly and arrogant. How could a man like that catch her eye?
Lingchuan said this just to make him regret what he had said, and she did it.
He showed a look of deep regret, begging Lingchuan to let him go complacently, and quickly told him that she had only said those things to irritate him, that she loved him, and had only ever loved him.
But she didn't.
She just remained silent, with a look of relief on her face, as if a huge stone had been lifted from her chest.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but her relief was like a rough hemp rope tied around his neck, almost strangling him.
"You're not in love with him."
He could only mutter this sentence like a prayer.
Lingchuan nodded and said:
"I certainly didn't."
He didn't dare to ask further, for he was afraid that she would say something he didn't want to hear.
He could only comfort himself in vain that the man who was as plain as boiled water was not enough to pose any threat to him, and she would just stay with him.
He loved her, but felt that he could not possess her. After swinging violently between jealousy and humility, his love gradually took on a sinful face.
Gu Shi didn't want to just submit to and accept Lingchuan blindly. He wanted to marry her more and more as soon as possible.
Marrying her quickly and trapping her in the miserable and boring framework of marriage would help to alleviate his excessive infatuation with her.
He was planning to have a few more children with her and quickly become an old couple so bored that they would feel sick for three days whenever they touched each other.
By that time, he would definitely not be tortured to death by her as easily as he is now.
But now, the more the physical thirst is satisfied, the more it grows like weeds.
He walked to her front, framing her completely in the shadow cast by his body, and looked down at her condescendingly.
Lingchuan just sat calmly on the chair, ignoring him.
Gu Shi deceived himself by thinking that when she became his wife, she would eventually become just a boring queen, and then he would be able to be free from this painful love.
But now he just hopes that Lingchuan will do something quickly so that he can feel loved.
He turned around and took down a long sword hanging on the wall. The sword was sharpened, but it was usually only used as a decoration, staying on the wall honestly, no different from a mural.
But today, it finally came in handy.
He pulled the sword out of the scabbard and pointed it at Lingchuan's throat.
She still looked at him in the same defiant manner, with a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, like an emperor who was always ready to surrender to the rebels and sacrifice his life for his country.
The cold sword energy made her whole body numb, but she was not afraid at all. She trembled slightly, and a signal of excitement was drilling through her pores.
"Say you love me..."
After a tense silence, Gu Shi surrendered first.
"Tell me quickly, the person you love is me! And only me!"
The long sword was across Lingchuan's neck. As long as she moved her waist forward slightly, blood would flow three feet.
Lingchuan just raised the corners of her mouth and smiled charmingly, the shadow of her eyelashes made her eyes look charming and blurred, but she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of coldness, which overwhelmed the cold light of the sword.
"Gu Shi, you are so weak and incompetent."
She used her palm to push away the cold sword blade. He let go of her hand in fear, and the sword fell to the ground, cutting through her skirt.
He lowered his head and saw that Lingchuan's skirt was slit from the knees down, vaguely revealing a section of her slender calf. Her skin was glowing with a layer of green light, like fine jade.
The sheen of this skin ignited a certain desire in him, and he swallowed his saliva as he looked at her calves like a lecher.
She disgusted him, made him crazy with jealousy, and made him anxious and worried. He could even uncontrollably have such thoughts about her... Gu Shi felt very disgusted with himself.
Before he could digest this disgust, Lingchuan saw his desire and pushed him to the ground.
He and the sword fell easily.
