"Mom, isn't this too fast?" Gu Fanyan pursed her lips.
Although she thought Murong Mo and his mother were both quite nice, she still considered getting married.
"Soon? Do you mean you're going to date Murong Mo for seven or eight years?"
Gu's mother advised, "Yan'er, I admit that with your looks and family background, men would line up for you to choose from, but if you keep picking and choosing, in the end you can only marry one of them, right?"
"Murong Mo's conditions in all aspects are not bad either!"
"Besides, Mom can tell he likes you a lot, and he'll definitely treat you well!"
Anyway, Mom just hopes she gets married soon.
"Yan'er, why are you hesitating?" Madam Gu suddenly said with a stern face, "Is it because you haven't forgotten..."
"Mom, how did you and Aunt Murong discuss this?" Gu Fanyan quickly interrupted her.
Gu Fanyan was also reluctant to bring up those unpleasant past events.
"It's all settled. We'll meet tomorrow to discuss it," Gu's mother said with a smile. "I'll invite a few relatives, and they'll invite a few relatives too. We'll have dinner together tomorrow."
Gu Fanyan nodded: "Let's do it the way you've agreed."
Mrs. Gu left happily.
Gu Fanyan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind blank.
Mom is happy.
She doesn't reject it either.
Let's leave it at that.
She was half asleep when she felt someone gently stroking her hair.
When she opened her eyes, Murong Mo's smiling eyes were right in front of her.
She was taken aback, and then she saw the smile in his eyes turn into apology: "Did I disturb your sleep? I couldn't help it, so I brushed the stray hairs off your face."
She glanced at the room door.
Murong Mo immediately explained, "I saw the door was open, so I came in to take a look. I just sat by the bedside for a bit and didn't do anything else."
He was getting anxious and was almost ready to raise his hand and swear an oath.
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly: "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid I'll call the police and have them arrest you for coming into my room?"
Murong Mo knew she was joking, smiled, and still apologized: "I was so happy... I couldn't help but want to see you soon... I won't come in without your permission next time."
"Are all you artists this cautious in front of girls?" Gu Fanyan asked with a smile.
"I..." Murong Mochi looked at her smiling face, his voice trailing off, "Fanyan, you...you're so beautiful..."
His gaze was too intense.
Gu Fanyan blushed slightly and instinctively wanted to hide.
He suddenly leaned over, put his arm around her delicate shoulder, and pulled her into his embrace.
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback.
She thought he would use his mouth.
She could sense that he hesitated for a moment, struggling to restrain himself, before turning his passion into a hug.
He was probably worried about scaring her.
Maybe Mom is right, he will treat her well and protect her.
Perhaps, marrying someone like this wouldn't be a mistake.
After breakfast, Murong Mo drove Gu Fanyan and her mother out of the garden.
“I sent a message in the family group chat,” Gu’s mother said with a smile as she sat in the back row. “All your aunts and cousins said they wanted to go, and my two little cousins also insisted on going, saying they would take time off work just to come and see Sister Fanyan’s future… Ah!”
The car suddenly slammed on the brakes!
A person lunged at the hood of the car!
Mother Gu was quite frightened: "What's going on! How can there be someone here!"
At this moment, the man straightened up, his eyes burning as he stared intently at Gu Fanyan in the passenger seat!
Lin Zhibai!
When Gu's mother saw him, she flew into a rage, "Has Lin Zhibai gone mad?!"
She immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car, and before she could even stand properly, she started cursing!
“I saw his car when I came this morning,” Murong Mo suddenly said from inside the car.
Following his gaze, Gu Fanyan saw a familiar car parked not far away.
It seems that Lin Zhibai hasn't left since last night.
Gu's mother berated Lin Zhibai, but Lin Zhibai remained silent, neither did he move away from the front of the car.
Gu Fanyan prepared to get off the car.
Murong Mo said, "Should I go and talk to him?"
Gu Fanyan thought for a moment, "There are some things that are more appropriate for me to say to him."
After Gu Fanyan got out of the car, Murong Mo also got out.
But he helped get Gu's mother into the car, giving Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai some space to talk.
“Murong, please don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between Yan’er and Lin Zhibai,” Mother Gu explained. “They did date for a while before, but that was just when they were young and naive, and they were just playing around.”
Murong Mo smiled and nodded: "I understand, Auntie. Fan Yan is so outstanding, it's not surprising that several boys are infatuated with her."
"You're the most sensible one." Mother Gu looked at Murong Mo and liked him more and more.
Gu Fanyan walked a short distance before stopping. "Speak, what do you want from me?"
"So eager?" Lin Zhibai's lips curled into a cold smile. "Are you having your wedding with Murong Mo today?"
"This has nothing to do with you," Gu Fanyan replied calmly.
"Okay, then answer me first, why was that hole in the corner sealed up?" he asked.
“Because I don’t want anything to do with you anymore,” Gu Fanyan replied. “There shouldn’t be anything between us.”
Lin Zhibai's expression gradually turned cold.
He almost rushed forward... "Lin Zhibai," she continued, "maybe you can make me need you, but those are just physical reactions."
"I severed all ties with you in my heart long ago."
"You may indeed try to sabotage my relationship with Murong Mo. Perhaps I can't marry Murong Mo, or any other man, but I don't want to be with you either."
Her calm tone made it sound as if she were telling someone else's story.
And the more this is the case, the more it indicates that every word she says is true.
After saying that, she turned and got into the car.
The car drove past Lin Zhibai, leaving a gust of cold wind behind.
Lin Zhibai stood there for a while before he came to his senses and felt a pang of regret.
He should have pulled her into the car and taken her away without saying a word when she was speaking.
He's always like this; he's easily swayed by her, whether she's feigning enthusiasm or completely indifferent.
He punched the car in frustration.
At this moment, Shen Xing called, her voice urgent: "Young Master Lin, quickly check your phone and see the message I sent you."
"What rubbish news, I'm not interested."
"It's about Sister Fanyan."
Lin Zhibai immediately took out his phone and looked through it.
An anonymous person edited a post, which has been forwarded several times in their group, causing a huge uproar.
The gist of the story is that Gu Fanyan had a messy pregnancy, and in order to avoid attracting attention, she went abroad under the guise of studying abroad to have an abortion. Now she is hiding her dark past and is going to marry into a famous foreign art family!
Lin Zhibai immediately called Shen Xinghui and angrily questioned, "Who posted this message?"
"The other party is very cunning; they are using overseas servers, and we can't find out anything about them yet," Shen Xing replied.
"Quickly have someone remove the negative impact and delete the post!" Lin Zhibai ordered.
“I’ve already sent people to do it,” Shen Xing replied, “but the Gu family will definitely be more effective in doing this, but it seems like the Gu family doesn’t know about it yet.”
"Why?" Lin Zhibai asked, puzzled.
The Gu family doesn't usually react that slowly.
“It seems like the Gu family has something important to do today, like a meeting between the two sets of parents,” Shen Xing replied. “Perhaps the people in the Gu family who are handling this matter don’t dare to report it today.”
"However, the Murong family should already know. I saw two junior members of the Murong family leave comments saying they want to expose Gu Fanyan's true colors!"
"Wow!"
Lin Zhibai immediately dialed Gu Fanyan's number, but she said her phone was switched off.
She turned off her phone last night and hasn't turned it back on yet.
Lin Zhibai didn't have time to think and immediately jumped into the car and chased after them.
