“Gu Nanxing, I’m not getting married to find a suitable matriarch for the Gu family.” Gu Nanyan’s voice seemed unchanged. “The same was true of my father marrying my mother. Not everyone is bound by their family.”
She rose and whispered in Gu Nanxing's ear, "You're bound only because you're not capable enough. Gu Nanxing, if you were truly capable, you could cripple me and take my place." Her voice was deep and husky, carrying a hint of seduction, like a mermaid singing in the deep sea at midnight.
The girl's eyes narrowed, and she collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
"Elder sister..." Tears blurred her vision, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. She reached out and grabbed Gu Nanyan's hem, kneeling on the ground. "Elder sister... I was wrong, I was wrong..." She shook her head desperately. "I won't... I will never go to my brother-in-law again... Elder sister, I was wrong!"
"Let go." Gu Nanyan looked at him coldly, his sharp phoenix eyes devoid of any affection.
“I…” Gu Nanxing did not let go. “I’m going to South Africa. I won’t return to the Empire until I’m eighteen, elder sister…” With sobs, her phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Gu Nanyan’s, were filled with regret and pain, and even more so with deep grievance.
"You're going to South Africa? They don't play games there."
"Elder sister!" Gu Nanxing's hands gripped Gu Nanyan's robe tightly, her nails almost digging deep into her palms. Her face was pale and bloodless. "I...I'm going back...to the old house, to...find...Feng...Feng You."
"I will not look for my brother-in-law alone again, nor will I tell them."
Gu Nanyan looked down at her and said, "Make sure everything is arranged before you leave." He then turned and left.
"Yes." Gu Nanxing collapsed to the ground, her hands covering her face, her whole body trembling, her undergarments almost soaked through.
After a long while, he finally took out his phone and sent a message in their small group chat.
Don't go looking for him alone. I'm going back to the old house to find Feng You.
The group chat exploded instantly with just a few words.
The wind is gentle!
This is absolutely a nightmare for the younger generation of the Gu family!
Gu Nanxing took a while to calm down, assigned all the tasks, and only left after he saw that his complexion had returned to normal.
But I just couldn't play it anymore.
Many people noticed that "King Qin" seemed to have stopped playing. Although they were puzzled, given Gu Nanxing's status, no one dared to go up and ask him directly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Fu Mutian asked, leaning closer to Gu Nanxing as he stood in front of a game console, watching the same advertisement over and over again.
Gu Nanxing didn't even turn her head; her tender little face was somewhat pale, which was even more obvious under the light.
"It's nothing, I just felt a bit chilly after going upstairs and being exposed to the cold wind for a while."
Fu Mutian took a robe from the side and draped it over her shoulders. "Although it's still summer, the night wind is quite cool. Besides, why are you going to the balcony to feel the cold wind? What, seeing so many handsome men and beautiful women, does spring have arrived?" she said with a hint of teasing.
There are quite a few like them who love to have fun; many arranged marriages are just a way for each person to do their own thing.
Developing real feelings would be a disaster for both families.
After all, feelings are uncertain, but interests are forever.
Fu Mutian and Sheng Jingchen are a case in point. Although neither of them has a fiancé, their reputations are well-known in the industry.
However, they are the best marriage partners among the elders.
As for the Gu family?
Gu Nanxing naturally understood the implication in Fu Mutian's words. "No way, Sister Tian." She smiled and said, "Why am I in such a hurry? If nothing unexpected happens, I'll either choose one in Beijing or one in Europe."
"Do you like it?" Fu Mutian asked, noting that the Gu family was different from other families like theirs.
Gu Nanxing paused, "Huh?" His usually smiling face was full of confusion.
