Chapter 65 But I Want You to Marry Him
Ji Wanwan was instantly overwhelmed by guilt and felt sorry again: "I'm so, so sorry..."
She didn't want to see this situation, but she was powerless to change it.
She was just a recent graduate with no money or skills; who knew she would get into so much trouble?
Qianxi took Ji Wanwan's hand and comforted her, "Wanwan, it's not your fault."
"I just hope that the two of you can live a good life together from now on, okay?"
Ji Wanwan was clearly stunned for a moment. Should she live a good life from now on?
Do you want the two of you to be together?
If we agree to that, wouldn't it be the same as selling her out?
Ji Wanwan forced a smile and changed the subject: "Let's save him first."
After all, every second Gu Qingci remained in Kolov's hands meant greater danger.
Now is not the time to talk about these things.
Qianxi's fingertips twitched unconsciously. She knew that Gu Qingci's pursuit of Ji Wanwan had been fruitless, and she wanted to give him a push.
Qianxi was silent for a moment, then let go of her hand: "Wanwan, don't you like him?"
Ji Wanwan: ...
Do we really have to make her say it?
"I am very grateful to Gu Qingci for saving me, but I will never fall in love with him."
A hint of determination flashed in Qianxi's eyes as she plucked a crabapple blossom in full bloom.
"But I want you to marry him."
She didn't want to see Gu Qingci suffer like this anymore. Gu Qingci was her son, so naturally she would side with him.
Ji Wanwan's pupils contracted sharply, her eyes filled with confusion. Why should she marry Gu Qingci?
“I don’t like him, so why should I marry him?” Ji Wanwan retorted.
"Love grows over time."
She didn't believe in that nonsense about feelings developing over time.
Gu Qingci has been pursuing her for so long, but she hasn't fallen for him.
It's even less likely in the future...
"The most urgent thing right now is to save him, not to talk about these things."
Ji Wanwan couldn't understand her. She was clearly Gu Qingxi's mother, yet she was still so indifferent, saying these things to her.
"If you agree to marry him, I'll save the person." Qianxi knew she was soft-hearted and used this to manipulate her.
I don't believe she won't agree.
Ji Wanwan closed her eyes tightly.
Why is everyone pressuring her...?
Kolov locked her up and forced her.
Even Gu Qingci's mother wanted to marry him.
What heinous things did she do in her past life to be so unlucky in this one?
Ji Wanwan opened her eyes, her right hand tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and managed to utter a single word.
"good."
A faint smile curved Qianxi's lips: "I hope you keep your word."
She looked at Ji Wanwan's injured leg and said, "You should rest first." Then she gestured to the servants to take her away.
Ji Wanwan felt heavy-hearted and inexplicably agreed to a marriage proposal.
But can a verbal marriage agreement be reversed...?
Besides, Si Shu didn't agree to her being with Gu Qingci, even though she had already promised her back then.
But now, everything is in chaos!
Ji Wanwan sighed, knowing she could only take it one step at a time.
Maybe we can talk to Gu Qingci about it and then we won't need to, since he respects Ji Wanwan.
I believe he wouldn't force me to marry him.
After washing up casually, Ji Wanwan lay on the bed with a blank look in her eyes, recalling the recent events.
Even though she had already escaped and Qianxi had promised to rescue Gu Qingci, she was still uneasy.
She always felt like there was an invisible pair of eyes watching her from behind, and a chill ran down her spine.
As she pondered, Ji Wanwan felt her eyelids grow heavy, and she didn't sleep a wink all night.
At that moment, she relaxed her guard and soon succumbed to sleepiness, falling asleep.
Meanwhile, Kolov returned to the manor. The atmosphere was oppressive, and no one dared to breathe too loudly, for fear of provoking him at this moment.
He leaned back on the bespoke sofa, lit a cigar, and the thin smoke obscured his fierce face.
The doctor squatted down beside him and carefully treated his wound.
A row of bodyguards knelt in front of her, terrified, having failed in their duty to keep an eye on Ji Wanwan.
Kolov glanced at them coldly, his tone calm: "So many people, and you can't even stop one person?"
The bodyguard lowered his head even further, not daring to utter a sound.
Kolov leaned forward, and a spark from his cigar landed on the back of the bodyguard's hand, instantly turning his skin red.
But he didn't dare to back down.
Kolov suddenly flew into a rage, his leather shoe grinding hard against the bodyguard's hand: "Speak!"
The unfortunate bodyguard now regretted kneeling before him...
Alexander sighed and immediately stepped forward: "Young master, Dmitri was working with him from the inside, which is why we couldn't stop him."
The bodyguards were not on guard against Dmitri and were easily taken down by him.
Kolov gritted his teeth: "He should have been killed back then."
He shouldn't have been let go, and he shouldn't have believed that Ji Wanwan would stay by his side forever.
Where is Gu Qingci?
"The doctor has treated him in the dungeon and has temporarily saved his life."
Kolov stood up, releasing the half-smoked cigar from his fingers, which fell onto the marble floor.
He glanced at the bodyguards out of the corner of his eye: "Go and accept your punishment."
The bodyguards all breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
The dungeon was cold and damp, and covered with moss.
Gu Qingci lay on the cold stone bed, a dim ray of light shining on his face, making him appear even paler, his whole body stained with blood.
Despite being covered in wounds, she didn't look disheveled; instead, she appeared even more alluring and seductive.
The doctor simply removed the bullets from his chest and legs, applied simple bandages, and put him out of immediate danger.
Kolov went inside, and the strong smell of blood from the dungeon immediately filled his nostrils.
Seeing Gu Qingci lying there with a weak breath, I suppressed the urge to punch him.
"Splash him awake."
How could Kolov let him lie there unharmed?
He was saved so that Ji Wanwan would come back obediently; otherwise, he would be dead by now.
The icy water splashed onto Gu Qingci's face, seeping into his chest, and a sharp pain made him open his eyes abruptly.
His cold eyes revealed no emotion at the moment, but he could tell at a glance where he was and guessed that he had been captured by Kolov.
He wasn't particularly upset, but the water seeping into his wound was incredibly painful, like countless needles twisting inside.
Kolov pinched his face hard, as if he wanted to crush the bones in his cheeks.
"woke up?"
"You won't die, don't worry."
Gu Qingci's voice was weak, and she couldn't muster any strength, but she still remained stubborn.
Kolov smirked, "Looks like you want to die. Fine, I'll grant your wish." Then he shoved him away.
Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and pinned Gu Qingci's hands to the chains. He had no strength to resist and let them control him.
Gu Qingci raised a strange smile: "I wasn't tortured."
It's just worsening his injuries; he won't die.
Kolov's sinister eyes darkened. Even at this point, he still dared to be stubborn.
He leaned closer to Gu Qingci and whispered.
"I won't let you die, I just want to show Ji Wanwan how much pain you're in."
"This is the price she paid for running away..."
