Chapter 196 I Don't Want to Argue with You
Gu Xixi turned to Mu Nanzhao and smiled calmly.
It's like a spring breeze blowing across the northwest wilderness, neither fast nor slow, without any selfish thoughts, just pure narrative.
"You have such a big heart, you can't just stay in my little yard forever, right?"
Mu Nanzhao stared at Gu Xixi in a daze.
He had accused her before of being in a hurry to get him out.
But now he looked into her eyes and could no longer say those words.
Mu Nanzhao turned his eyes away and looked at the flame in the stove that was about to go out.
"In two days, I will leave."
Gu Xixi tilted her neck to observe his expression, "Are you talking about two days specifically or in general terms?"
Mu Nanzhao said irritably, "You don't have to worry about my affairs."
Gu Xixi frowned and speculated, "You don't want to wait until one day is a day."
No answer.
Gu Xixi asked again, "Does the general know that you are back in the village this time?"
Still silent.
Gu Xixi closed her eyes as if she was suffocating. It seemed that what he said came true.
She was a little anxious, lowering her voice, but her tone was fierce, "I knew there was a problem. It has come to this point. With General Huo's temper, how could he agree to you staying in Huachidu Village with nothing to do!"
Mu Nanzhao still didn't look after Xixi, but just retorted unhappily in a low voice, "I have nothing to do, don't forget who saved you today."
Gu Xixi said, "I can do it without you. It just takes a little more effort. I won't die anyway."
Mu Nanzhao turned his head and looked at her, "You don't think that useless Hu man can protect you, do you?"
Gu Xixi also turned around and glared at Mu Nanzhao.
"Speak politely and stop calling people useless."
Mu Nanzhao sneered and said sarcastically, "Isn't it true? You're always chasing after a woman and you don't have your own opinions at all."
Gu Xixi's face darkened. "As a businessman, Brother An not only has his own ideas, but also has impeccable abilities."
“I delayed my return and he helped me solve the problems of every Pinang fruit tree grower. Thanks to him, I did not break my promise.”
"And today, it was precisely because he was a foreigner that he was able to escape from the sight of Gu Youfu and the others."
"Besides him, who else could help me to tie up Mr. Gu?"
Mu Nanzhao wanted to say, "You could have come to me, but it's your fault that you chose to go somewhere far away."
But he just looked up at the sky, nodded, and sneered.
"Well, he's the only one who can help you, right? You trust him wholeheartedly."
Gu Xixi was even more confused by his reaction and was actually a little angry.
"Why can't I trust Brother An?"
"I have always remembered every favor I have received from those who have been kind to me, including you."
"Since you started living in my house, apart from the matter of Gu Qingye, have I ever done anything wrong to you? Why do you have to talk to me like this now?"
"Even though I brought you and Gu Qingye together regardless of your wishes, I did my best to make up for it afterwards."
"Did you make it up later?" Mu Nanzhao suddenly stared at Gu Xixi angrily.
"So you went to great lengths to find the Firefly Bone Flower for me and saved my life just to make up for this?"
Gu Xixi was stunned. She had never thought about it in this way.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Nanzhao thought he was right.
He stood up and said, "Boss Gu really calculated every detail and made it very clear to me."
Mu Nanzhao laughed in anger, "That's right, you had no choice from the beginning."
"They had to buy me, they had to let me stay, they had to find medical treatment for me."
"After that, he was coerced by me, implicated and tied up by me, and had to walk with me until now."
Gu Xixi thought that this seemed to be the correct process.
But……
It was obvious that the one who suffered the most from what Mu Nanzhao said was Gu Xixi.
But why did this guy's tone and expression make it seem like she was a heartless person? !
What are you talking about?
Mu Nanzhao continued, "So you refused to marry me, pushed other women to me, and refused to accept the banknotes I gave you, fearing that I would send someone to monitor you. All this was to draw a clear line between us so that we don't owe each other anything."
"After I leave this time, you can pretend you've never known me."
Gu Xixi told herself that she shouldn't feel guilty, and asked back with her head held high, "What else?"
She had good reasons:
If I really dare to marry you, and you regain the throne in a few months, won’t I die a miserable death?
If I don't draw a clear line in advance, do I have to keep in touch with you and wait to die in your hands one day?
And, didn’t you tell me not to look down on you?
Mu Nanzhao looked straight at Gu Xixi, with a half-smile in his eyes, but a sad look, as if he had suffered some kind of severe trauma.
He didn't speak for a moment.
Gu Xixi's eyes were wandering and her heart was in panic. What was wrong with this guy tonight?
She was about to say go back to bed.
Mu Nanzhao suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Then how do you repay the favor of saving my life?"
"Do you want me to pay with my life?!"
Gu Xixi's pupils trembled.
Afraid of waking up the whole family, she scolded in a low voice with a cold face, "Everyone else is sleeping, I don't want to argue with you, let go!"
Seeing that Mu Nanzhao still didn't let go.
Gu Xixi's eyes turned completely cold and she looked at him coldly.
"What's the point of me wanting your life? Is it to make my crops produce more, or to make everything I plant successful?"
"You said you would give me this and that, but I refused to accept it and insisted on drawing a line in the sand."
"Then let me make it clear to you, I only want what I want, and I never covet anything else."
"And what I want, I will reach out and get it myself, I don't need you to arrange it for me."
Mu Nanzhao's expression changed slightly, his eyes were as dark as ink, he looked at Gu Xixi, waiting for her to continue.
"Send Master Liu here and place your people around me."
"You give me a banknote to buy off the trouble and let me leave Huachidu Village."
"You make arrangements with Master Liu. If trouble breaks out, you can send my whole family to a safe place."
Gu Xixi said, looking up at Mu Nanzhao, "When you made these decisions, did you ever discuss them with me or ask for my opinion? You didn't even think of informing me."
"Why do you think I shouldn't be on guard against you and shouldn't draw a line between us?"
She felt the pressure on her wrist loosen, and it was Mu Nanzhao who let go of her hand.
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "I didn't want to say so much."
"But before we part, it's better to make these things clear."
She glanced up at the sky. There was no moon and it was completely dark.
Then he waved and walked towards his bedroom.
"Go to bed early. You should rest and recuperate now. I don't want anything to go wrong with you. After all, you have the ability to make the future of Daye better, and I am just a small citizen in this world."
Mu Nanzhao kept watching Gu Xixi's bedroom door close.
He lowered his head and asked himself, did I really do something wrong?
