Su Ying hugged him back, and the two of them snuggled together, their eyes and hearts only for each other.
Time passed quietly, and ten minutes later Su Ying smelled something was off.
Gu Sinian's words just now were a little strange. Could he have misunderstood? She needed to ask him clearly, otherwise, this misunderstanding would hinder the development of their relationship. She pushed him away from her embrace and looked him over strangely.
"What's wrong with you today? You seem a bit strange, but you can't quite put your finger on it?"
He did want to question her, but on what grounds could he question her? The past was the past, and dwelling on it would be pointless and only cause more trouble.
Su Ying was completely unaware of the marriage agreement that Aunt Su had verbally agreed to years ago. With Aunt Su's passing, the marriage agreement between the two of them also vanished.
But if he doesn't ask clearly, there will always be that thorn in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
I want to get to the bottom of the issue weighing on his mind, or he'll go crazy from his own jealousy.
Why did you agree to get engaged to Jiang Yibo in the first place? Did you really like him that much?
Su Ying didn't expect Gu Sinian to ask this kind of question. She didn't even know what her mindset was when she got engaged to Jiang Yibo.
Tell me you like it.
Not really.
Say you don't like it?
They grew up together, and she didn't dislike Jiang Yibo. Her grandparents' dying wish was only for her to be happy for the rest of her life.
But her grandparents entrusted her to the wrong people. All the disasters in her past life came from the Jiang family. They were heartless and swindled all of the Su family's property, leaving her alone to face all the harsh criticism.
She could never like someone like that. In her past life, she never understood why the Jiang family had abandoned her, even until her death.
Having lived a second life, she saw the whole truth: Jiang Yibo was a scumbag with a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was coaxing her while having an affair with her half-sister and getting her pregnant.
Comparing the two situations, it's clear that he could just leave her alone without any psychological burden.
In her past life, she didn't dislike Jiang Yibo either. Besides, they grew up together and could be considered childhood sweethearts, and they understood each other well.
She got engaged to Jiang Yibo at an age when she was just beginning to experience romantic feelings. Regardless of whether she loved him or not, she thought it was because she liked him. They grew up together and knew and trusted each other well, so they seemed like a good match for marriage.
In her past life, she was blind to give everything the Su family had to Jiang Yibo, thinking he would take her away from Shanghai to Hong Kong to start a new life.
Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered and died with resentment in his heart...
However, she was certain that when she fell in love with Gu Sinian, she had never loved anyone else.
Gu Sinian must have been very concerned to ask such a question.
Otherwise, even if I were to vomit to death, I wouldn't ask.
How can she say something to make him feel better?
This is a big problem. Su Ying thought of all sorts of ways to avoid hurting Gu Sinian, but after thinking for a long time, she still had no answer.
Seeing Su Ying's conflicted expression, Gu Sinian felt a sharp pain in his heart, his heart aching like a rollercoaster.
He was too greedy. She had just broken off her engagement with Jiang Yibo, how could she possibly change her mind so quickly? Agreeing to marry him was already her biggest concession.
Why be greedy? Knowing the answer will only make you feel worse.
Jiang Yibo grew up with her, and the time they spent together and the bond they formed is definitely stronger than that of someone who only stayed in the Su family for three years.
Asking such a low-level question is just asking for trouble.
Wasn't the abuse enough? You want to go through it all again. You're so impatient.
Gu Sinian patted his head in frustration, looking quite helpless.
Never ask such a question again. "If it's difficult to answer, just pretend I didn't ask it."
Su Ying glanced at Gu Sinian suspiciously, observing his expression. She could clearly feel the man's pain just now. "Don't you really want to know the answer?"
Gu Sinian blurted out, "I don't want to know anymore. Right now, having you by my side is the most important thing."
"I don't need to take those unimportant topics and unimportant people to heart. I won't ask them anymore."
Gu Sinian stared into Su Ying's eyes, no longer so eager to know the answer.
As long as she's by his side, he'll eventually fall in love with her. There's no need to rush. Why is he in such a hurry?
"If this isn't the answer I want to hear, then there's no need to say it."
Looking at Gu Sinian like this, Su Ying suddenly felt like teasing him, so she leaned forward and stared straight at the man.
Their eyes met, and everything around them seemed to fade into insignificance as they simply gazed at each other.
Gu Sinian couldn't handle it any longer and looked away first. "Stand still."
Doesn't this little girl know that staring straight at a man like that is a dangerous thing?
Su Ying watched with a smile as the man's face turned red all the way down to his neck, inwardly screaming with rage.
So innocent.
He actually blushed.
I really want to bully him.
Su Ying is a woman of action. Having experienced the pain of only being able to look but not touch in her previous life, she now has the opportunity to live on the same land with him in this life, in a secluded space where it's just the two of them. She would really be letting herself down if she didn't do something intimate.
Without thinking, Su Ying moved her face closer and closer, and when Gu Sinian had nowhere to retreat, she openly kissed the lips she had longed for.
When their lips touched, Gu Sinian's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the beautiful face magnified so close to his.
With his hands clenched into fists, Gu Sinian, no longer satisfied with a light, fleeting kiss, embraced Su Ying's fair face and deepened the kiss he had longed for.
