“…” Ye Xingbei was on the verge of throwing up blood.
This line should be hers, right?
This damn lunatic!
Ye Xingbei furiously shot him a disdainful glance, then continued to ask: “Why are you in a wheelchair? And what’s this about you supposedly on your deathbed? I investigated, and it all sounded so convincing, almost like it was true.”
She inadvertently became “Madam Gu”, so naturally, she wanted to look into the Gu Family and this man, Gu Junzhu.
In the past two days, other than handling Star Palace’s affairs, she spent the majority of her time researching the Gu Family and Gu Junzhu.
As she had said, only by thoroughly understanding the situation could she divorce quicker!
But what she found was that apart from the Gu Family being so influential that even Star Palace dared not provoke them, there were also rumors about Gu Junzhu’s impending death.
The rumors were so lifelike that if she hadn’t seen Gu Junzhu moving with such vitality, she might have believed them!
“About this …” Gu Junzhu cocked his head to look at her, his beautiful eyes shimmering with an indescribable interest, dazzling brighter than the stars. “Speaking of this, I should thank you!”
“…” Ye Xingbei was completely baffled.
What did this have to do with her?
If it weren’t for her returning to the country and being tricked by Jiang Siyou, waking up in his bed, she wouldn’t even know who Gu Junzhu was.contemporary romance
What on Earth did he have to thank her for?
Gu Junzhu shifted to a comfortable position: “The idea to announce that I was about to die came from a wise man.”
Ye Xingbei: “…Huh?”
Gu Junzhu explained: “My father was afraid that I would follow the same fate of my older brother and sister, heading straight to the King of Hell, so he sought advice from a wise man on how to save me. The wise man suggested I pretend to be dying before marrying a daughter from the Jiang Family to deceive God. My father completely trusted this advice and immediately started spreading rumors. He even had someone monitor me daily to ensure I sat in the wheelchair. It almost annoyed me to death!”
Gujun Zhu looked at Ye Xingbei and smiled: “But now that I’ve married you, the crisis is over, so I no longer need the wheelchair. Therefore, I have to thank you for that!”
He stroked his chin, sizing Ye Xingbei up and down, and tutted. “On second thought, marrying you isn’t so bad. At least after marrying you, I don’t have to suffer in the wheelchair anymore! Ah, you have no idea how uncomfortable it is to be confined to a wheelchair and pushed around everywhere when you can actually walk!”
“…” With a wooden face, Ye Xingbei asked in a low voice: “So you’re saying, there’s no chance of me getting a divorce, right?”
“There’s not a single door or even a window for that!” Gu Junzhu shook his head, “So, I suggest you accept my proposal and we pretend to be a married couple! I don’t want to marry anyone and you don’t want to marry anyone either, so why not have a collaborative marriage where we both get what we want? Isn’t that great?”
“You’ve got what you wanted, but what about me?” Ye Xingbei sneered. “I don’t see anything I need from you, okay?”
“How can you not?” Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows at her. “I can be a father to your son!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
This sounded like he was taking advantage of her, didn’t it?
Gu Junzhu ignored her silent protest, and continued: “Your Xiao Shumiao is five years old, isn’t he? Did Ye Xingli send him to primary school? He’s going to be a primary school student soon and will live a collective life. Other kids have both a father and mother, but he doesn’t. Won’t he be sad? What if other kids bully and attack him because of this?”
