41 A contractual marriage (39)_1

The mans slender fingers cupped her face. His dark blue eyes were as beautiful as the stars.

His eyes were gentle and serious.

Without her usual cold and distant look, the beauty with black hair and blue eyes had curved eyebrows and thin lips.

The corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows were warm and soft.

It was hard to refuse.

Jiang Ruan didnt say anything. She just lowered her eyes, her long hair falling from her ears and drawing a few mischievous arcs. Her red lips were tightly pursed, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

She seemed to be a little resistant to this question.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan didnt respond, Gu xichaos heart was slightly raised.

The uneasiness spread from the bottom of his heart, like a cold snake, slithering to every corner of his limbs.

Ah Ruan, raise your head. Gu xichao said softly.

Jiang Ruan lifted her head and looked at the man in front of her, frowning slightly.

She pushed him away.

Gu xichao, do you like me?

Jiang Ruans tone was rational and cold, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Gu xichaos heart sank, but she still nodded. yes.

I like you. I like you very much

His slightly hoa.r.s.e voice was very light, but it was as heavy as an oath.

Jiang Ruan glanced at him and pushed him away.

Thats impossible.

The man was stunned for a moment, and a flash of sadness appeared on his fair and beautiful face. However, he still asked, why?

It was a dry sentence.

Gu xichao had no experience with girls, and it was the first time she said she liked someone. She was no longer as calm as she usually was in the business world, and all she could do was to test her out carefully.

Jiang Ruan laughed, but his eyes were filled with disbelief. Gu xichao, weve been married for more than a year, but we havent even spoken much. Do you think Ill believe you if you tell me that you like her?

not to mention, Ive already betrayed this marriage some time ago.

from what I remember, youre such a proud person. Would you tolerate your wife cheating on you?

Jiang Ruan wasnt being sarcastic. She was merely stating a fact.

She could not figure it out, so she could only choose not to believe it.

Hearing Jiang Ruans words, Gu xichaos expression changed.

His snow-white fingertips pressed against the womans Red lips. Gu xichao looked very serious. dont say such things.

no betrayal, No

He did not know who he was talking to, but he kept repeating it word by word.

It was as if it would become true if he said it a few more times.

There was no betrayal, no drama.

Jiang Ruan almost burst out laughing. Gu xichao, what are you talking about?

that thing is true. You saw it with your own eyes, didnt you? mu Feng and I

He stopped her from continuing. The mans beautiful eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.

I dont care,

Even if its true, I dont care.

as long as we can live well in the future, thats enough, really

His tone was extremely serious and he did not sound like he was joking at all. There was a flash of sadness in his beautiful dark blue eyes.

Jiang Ruans eyes widened in disbelief. She almost rubbed her eyes.

She might have been seeing things.

Otherwise, he would not have seen the injury on Gu xichaos face, even though it was just for a fleeting moment.

Gu xichao should not have lost his composure like this.

However, mu Fengs existence was something that he was unwilling to mention, yet he could not ignore.

It was like a thorn in the heart, whether to pull it out or not.

The pain was always there.
