Chapter 4 If You Don’t Want to Marry Gu Jingchu, Then Marry Me
"You haven't finished talking yet, why are you running?" A big, broad hand grabbed his waist.
The scorching temperature on the lower back made Shen Yuan's cheeks red.
She turned stiffly, stepped back and saluted Gu Huailing, "Thank you, Prime Minister."
Gu Huailing withdrew his hand and motioned for Chen Yuan to sit down.
He looked at Shen Yuan with his dark eyes, and said in a steady and calm tone: "If you want to reopen the old case of the Shen family, you need the right time. Now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill, the timing is not right."
The Shen family was convicted because the head of the jade Guanyin they presented to the Queen Mother on her birthday was broken.
It is indeed not the right time to bring up the old case again.
Chen Yuan's hand unconsciously grasped the sleeve of the table.
Gu Huailing glanced at the table and then looked away.
"The Shen family has done the Gu family a favor. The marriage was decided by the ancestors of both families. It cannot be withdrawn, but the person can be replaced."
Chen Yuan was startled, and when she looked up, she met Gu Huailing's dark eyes.
"Since you don't want to marry Gu Jingchu, then marry me."
Gu Huailing's voice was steady, and no emotion could be heard.
Shen Yuan's heart exploded like thunder, and she looked at Gu Huailing in disbelief.
The woman seemed frightened.
Gu Huailing tapped his fingertips lightly, "You don't have to rush to respond. Just give me an answer when you've thought it through. You can come to me if you have any questions in the future."
Shen Yuan clenched his fingers even tighter.
Gu Huailing lowered his eyes, looking at the woman's jade-white fingertips, and said very considerately, "If you hold on any longer, my sleeve will tear."
The black gold satin, which was worth a fortune, was wrinkled beyond recognition by Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked up in silence, his face instantly flushed red, and he ran out as if escaping.
She actually grasped Gu Huailing's sleeves!
Gu Huailing's eyes fell on the woman's fleeing back.
A slow smile played on his lips.
The house was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Gu Huailing turned around and looked at the person lying on the bed, "Get up when you wake up."
Gu Yao climbed up from the bed, her pale face full of excitement, "Brother, am I going to have a sister-in-law?"
Gu Huailing glanced at her indifferently without saying anything.
Gu Yaogang heard everything the two men said clearly, and he just hated his elder brother for being such a blockhead.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, rolled up her sleeves, and began to impart her experience to her elder brother.
"Brother, I'm telling you, you can't be reserved when pursuing my sister-in-law. As the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, and a vicious dog is afraid of a rough stick. You have to do this first, then that..."
Gu Yao became more and more excited as she spoke.
Gu Huailing looked at her expressionlessly, "You understand very well."
"Of course, I didn't read those hundred or so storybooks in vain!"
"Go back and take the book to my study and copy the Women's Commandments ten times."
Gu Yao's face fell all of a sudden, "Brother, my heart disease has just healed, I can't copy..."
"Twenty times."
Gu Yao shut up, thinking that she would definitely trick her brother in front of her sister-in-law!
Gu Huailing's words surprised Shen Yuan so much that she stood in the stairwell for a long time before she came to her senses.
Was Gu Huailing possessed by someone? He actually said he wanted to marry her.
Chen Yuan still remembered that Gu Huailing also died quite early in his previous life.
He never married until his death.
I think Gu Huailing has no feelings for women, and he just married me back home as a decoration to repay his kindness.
Chen Yuan figured out the reason and suddenly felt relieved.
She rubbed her cheeks and walked out.
"Chen Yuan!" As soon as she walked out of Huichun Hall, she saw Gu Jingchu standing in front of her with a gloomy face.
"Get out of the way." Shen Yuan said coldly.
"When did you become acquainted with my eldest brother? You are a man and a woman alone in the same room. Are you trying to cheat on me?"
"It's none of your business who I know well!" Chen Yuan didn't bother to look at Jingchu and jumped on the horse directly.
"Hmph, I get it. You deliberately get close to Big Brother to make me jealous." Gu Jingchu sneered and said confidently.
What?
Chen Yuan's body shook and he almost fell off the horse!
"You don't need to explain. In fact, as long as you are obedient, I will still marry you. After all, we are still engaged."
Shen Yuan was disgusted to death.
I really want to trample him to death with a horse's hoof!
She looked at Gu Jingchu's confident face.
He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, raised the whip decisively, and whipped the horse's butt.
The horse felt pain and neighed with its hooves raised.
Rushed towards Gu Jingchu!
Gu Jingchu, who had been full of confidence, turned pale in an instant!
Subconsciously dodging to the side...
Suddenly he tripped and crashed straight into Lin Wanyin.
With a "bang", Gu Jingchu pressed Lin Wanyin to the ground.
"I thought Prince Gu was so bold for stopping a horse in the street, but now it seems he is just a coward."
Shen Yuan turned around and sneered.
"Chen Yuan!" Gu Jingchu supported himself on the ground with his hands and said through gritted teeth.
Countless eyes in the crowd were staring at him, and Gu Jingchu's face looked extremely ugly.
"Why don't you get up? How long are you going to keep embarrassing yourself?" Gu Jingchu said angrily.
"Cousin, you are the one who is putting pressure on me." Lin Wanyin bit her lip, tears falling drop by drop.
Gu Jingchu's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the ground, "How dare she do this to me!"
Lin Wanyin looked at Gu Jingchu's gloomy expression and whispered, "Cousin, Sister Shen is confused for a moment, why not let Young Master Shen persuade her?"
Gu Jingchu looked at Lin Wanyin in surprise. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but a look of pride appeared on his face again.
It's time to give Shen Yuan a good beating.
Chen Yuan left Huichun Hall and originally wanted to go to the academy, but seeing that it was getting dark, he sent someone to send a message to ask his younger brother to have lunch together at Zhimei Tower the next day.
She remembered that A-di's favorite dish was the Eight Treasure Crispy Duck from Zhimeilou.
The next day, Chen Yuan got up early, went to Linlangfang to pick out a few sets of ready-made clothes for A-di, bought a lot of snacks that A-di liked, and then went to Zhimeilou to wait.
In her previous life, the last time she saw A-di, he was no longer around.
The body in the pool of blood was still warm, but her brother could never open his eyes again.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, fortunately it was not the previous life.
She must protect her brother from harm.
At Zhimeilou, the Eight Treasure Crispy Duck was already cold, but there was no sign of Shen Zhao.
As soon as Chen Yuan stood up, the door of the private room was pushed open and Ah Fu ran in with an anxious look on his face.
"Miss, the young master is missing!"
Chen Yuan's expression changed. "What did you say? Explain clearly why Zhao'er disappeared?"
Ah Fu had a bitter face. "Early in the morning, Master Gu sent someone to take the young master to his villa. When he left, he said he wanted to have lunch with you at noon and asked me to wait at the academy. He would be back soon."
"But I have waited till now and still haven't seen the young master, so I came to report to the young lady."
Chen Yuan's face turned completely cold, and she strode out without waiting for Ah Fu to finish speaking.
As soon as Chen Yuan stepped into the villa, he heard laughter coming from afar.
Gu Jingchu sat in the main seat, playing with a delicately carved warm jade ring in his hand, his eyes full of arrogance and wantonness.
A man sitting nearby laughed and said, "Prince, the carving on this ring is truly exquisite. Chen Yuan is deeply in love with you. To carve this ring, she even lived in a Buddhist temple, kneeling before the Buddha every day to pray, and even spent a large sum of money to have it consecrated by a high monk, all because you had a nightmare."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Gu Jingchu.
Gu Jingchu looked indifferent, "She is stupid, she has to do such lowly things."
