Chapter 23 A Clumsy Lie
Gu Yixiao: "I'm your brother, the head of the Gu family, and a shareholder of Noble University. I have the right to decide everything about you, don't I?"
Xu Ruochu: “…”
She opened her mouth, looking as if she was choking.
He actually used his age and status to pressure her!
This was a side she had never seen before, and she thought she had misheard...
But his attitude was so firm that she couldn't refute it at all.
Her mouth pursed, and her beautiful dark eyes instantly became moist. "Is it because of the concert? I'm not interested! And there are so many people at home, it won't be my turn to go. You suddenly became so proactive, are you deliberately teasing me?"
"I don't have the time for that!" Gu Yixiao's voice was low. He raised one hand and supported himself on the wall, trapping her between him and the wall.
Her back was forced to press against the wall. Looking at his aggressive movements and handsome face, she swallowed in disbelief. "What are you doing? Does Sister Lin Yuan know you're doing this?"
Gu Yixiao raised his eyebrows, not expecting her to mention this.
"There's nothing between Lin Yuan and me..."
"It's none of my business."
“…”
She actually said it so decisively!
His eyes suddenly darkened. "You don't believe it?"
"Why, why do you want me to believe you?" Xu Ruochu bit her lip. "You used to ignore me, but now you're taking care of me and paying attention to me. Is there some conspiracy?"
"Conspiracy? Ha," Gu Yixiao sneered and suddenly moved closer to her, "Am I that boring?"
His nose was facing her, less than a few centimeters apart.
Xu Ruochu was startled and shrank back subconsciously, "What else? My eldest cousin shouldn't just listen to my uncle and aunt, right?"
I have the impression that he doesn't listen to anyone, not even his grandmother.
In his previous life, he married her because Grandma Gu's health was getting worse and worse, and her life was getting shorter and shorter. In order to prevent her from having any regrets, he agreed to his family's request. From the beginning to the end, he had never loved her...
He looked at her with burning eyes, as if he could see into her heart: "Tell me, what happened? You seem like a different person."
“…”
Hearing this, her heart was pounding and she was at a loss.
How did he know?!
Yes, it must be my abnormal behavior that made him notice something.
But what does it matter? She has already decided to stay away from him. If he doesn't let her do something or asks her to do something, she will do the opposite of him.
Xu Ruochu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Nothing, I've just been busy with school lately. And after I'm done with this, I plan to find a boyfriend and bring him home to introduce him to my parents. Family traditions and such have nothing to do with me, after all, I've moved out."
"Also, cousin, what you said about liking me last night must have been a misunderstanding. I did have a kind of admiring liking for you before, just like liking a star, anime, or a TV series. So, I hope you can keep your distance from me and stop doing things that humiliate your tall image, okay?"
After Xu Ruochu finished speaking, she stared at him quietly.
She knew how false her words were, and how bitter she felt inside!
Because she was afraid that if she interfered with the cause and effect between him and Lin Yuan again, she would not be able to escape the fate of being killed without a burial place.
She can't be soft-hearted anymore!
He is someone she can't reach!
However......
After hearing her words, Gu Yixiao became even more curious.
"Don't tell me the boyfriend you're planning to find is that Huo Ran, the only child of a medical family and a sophomore in medical school. But he's not interested in that and often takes time off to go play ball or rock climbing. How could such a playful and unmotivated young man like you, a hardworking and inspiring woman?"
Xu Ruochu: “…”
Gu Yixiao saw the change in her expression and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, revealing a playful smile: "I'm not interested in you at all. I was entrusted by your friend to accompany you. So this excuse is completely invalid!"
"This is my personal matter, don't worry about it!"
Xu Ruochu frowned and glared at him, "Besides, he and I are not in a relationship now, but maybe we will be in a few days. Haven't you heard that it's easy for a girl to chase a boy?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed him away.
I didn't expect him to investigate her friends so thoroughly! This is simply too much!
The more anxious she became, the more amused Gu Yixiao found it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the blushing girl.
"Xu Ruochu, I'm not saying this... How on earth can you get the top scholarship in school every year with your brain? Do you think I would believe such a clumsy lie?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you!" Xu Ruchu glared at him, "I don't need to explain so much to you!"
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave the study.
But Gu Yixiao took advantage of the situation and put his arms around her slender waist, pulled her back, and pushed her against the wall again.
Xu Ruochu's back hit the wall hard, and she frowned in pain.
She was surprised for a moment and began to struggle, but unfortunately, the strength difference between men and women was too great, and she couldn't break free from his shackles.
"Let me go!" she shouted angrily through gritted teeth.
Gu Yixiao chuckled softly, "Are you playing hard to get? Or are you really planning on replacing someone?"
He didn't believe that a person who had liked another person for so many years would suddenly become free of all worries.
The man's breath sprayed on her sensitive ears, causing Xu Ruchu to tremble slightly.
She leaned stiffly against the wall, not daring to act silly anymore, fearing that he would do something extreme again, so she had to give up.
"Brother, what on earth do you want to do?!" she growled angrily, "Let go!"
At this moment, her cheeks were as red as ripe apples, "Let go!"
Gu Yixiao didn't care, "No."
"If you continue like this, I'm going to scream 'molest'!" Xu Ruochu was furious.
Gu Yixiao remained motionless: "Shout, and if you alert your family, then any explanation you offer will be useless."
His voice was soft, but it held a hint of menace.
"You..." Xu Ruochu was furious, glaring at him with gritted teeth, "Gu Yixiao! Don't go too far!"
"Hmm? If you don't want to go to the concert, where else do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
He still seemed to have no intention of letting her go.
Xu Ruochu was both embarrassed and annoyed. She tried to pry his fingers apart, but she couldn't move his body at all.
After a long time, she was finally exhausted. She slumped against the wall and sighed helplessly.
"I promised you a concert... Let me go first."
Only then did Gu Yixiao let her go.
"Sit there for a moment. I'll take care of some paperwork and then take you out to eat."
“…”
The two were arguing in the room, unaware that in a corner outside the door, a servant was secretly observing the study while pretending to clean.
Seeing that the two people inside hadn't come out for more than ten minutes, and the soundproofing in the study was too good to hear what they were saying, I quickly took out my phone to type a text message...
