Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C16

Feeling the blazing heat behind her, Shen Xingyue’s body instantly stiffened, “You, what did you say?” She couldn’t believe her ears.

“If Wu Wei didn’t marry you into our family for the sake of benefits, then marrying me would bring her even more benefits.” Gu Luocheng brought his nose closer and closer to the black hair that was emitting a faint fragrance, truly enjoying himself.

He didn’t know why he had said that. He had simply blurted it out. Perhaps it was because she was Little Treasure’s mother, or perhaps it was because five years ago, he had already been attracted by her.

Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Gu Luocheng turned his stiff body and looked him in the eye. Shen Xingyue seemed to be at a loss as she avoided his burning gaze in panic.

She didn’t know how to reply to him. She didn’t know why Gu Luocheng said those words. If it was just to help her out, then she might as well give up.

“You don’t want to?” After waiting for a long time, he still did not receive a reply. His brows furrowed as he cautiously asked. He was afraid that Shen Xingyue would reject him.

“Give me a reason, a reason for you to help me.” He turned his head and stared intently into his eyes. That expression seemed to be able to see through his heart.

“Because, because I don’t want you to be unhappy.” After being stunned for a moment, he did not speak his mind. He still wanted to keep Little Treasure and give Shen Xingyue a surprise.

He smiled bitterly and broke free from his restraints, “Let me think about it again.” The moment she turned around, her eyes became moist. Just this reason alone was enough to make her sink into depravity. After all, since she was young, no one had cared about her feelings.

The soft corner of his heart was touched, he walked into the room, then sat on the windowsill in the dim moonlight, quietly looking out the window, looking at the quiet campus.

Gu Luocheng froze on the spot as he watched Shen Xingyue with a sorrowful expression. Only until he couldn’t see her figure did he slowly sit down on the sofa, constantly asking himself if he was being too impatient.

The phone’s ringing interrupted his thoughts. He frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, “Hello, who is this?” A polite inquiry.

“Sure, big brother.” A deep bass voice sounded from the other end. This voice was beyond familiar.

“You’re back?” Leaning on the sofa, he greeted the person who called. It was the second brother of the four brothers. They had not seen each other for over half a year. Suddenly, his voice sounded very familiar.

“Waiting for you at the same place.” After hanging up the phone, Gu Luocheng hesitantly glanced at the tightly shut door upstairs and let out a long sigh. He then picked up his coat and walked out.

At the sound of the door closing, he turned to look at the door. Where did he go? Was it because she was angry with him?

A few wooden guitars were gently strumming along with the man’s deep voice, perfectly matched together, causing people to feel relaxed and happy. On the sofa on the second floor, a lazy looking man was sitting with his hair loose, exuding an artistic aura.

“Where did you come from?” Gu Luocheng walked in and unhesitatingly went upstairs. He sat in the only empty seat and looked at the man in front of him. In half a year’s time, this fellow had turned from an energetic young man into an aged uncle.

“I’ve already asked him, but he refused to tell me. He probably went to Bermuda to screw up his brain.” Meng Chao held onto a bottle of wine as he looked at He Yang in dissatisfaction.

“Meng Xi, has no one been keeping an eye on you while your Third Brother is away?!” He Yang picked up the box on the table and called over. Ever since he appeared, this brat had been complaining.

“Big brother, I won’t be leaving this time.” He Yang picked up a bottle of wine and handed it over to Gu Luocheng, while he also picked up a bottle of wine and downed it in one gulp.

“What are you going to do?” Gu Luocheng also drank a bottle of wine without hesitation. An ice-cold liquid flowed down his throat and actually felt somewhat comfortable.

He Yang wiped off the liquid on his beard and waved his hand, “I’m prepared to mix in with this brat. I sold everything when I left, and now there’s nothing else but this shell.”

Half a year ago, he suddenly left without saying a word, not giving anyone any form of explanation. The only thing he left behind was a note to his parents, “Your son is unfilial, don’t think about him.” And then there was no news of him.

“Did you ask my opinion? I’m not going to bring unreliable people like you to play. What if you suddenly have another idea and sell my company? I can’t afford that risk. You should just look for someone else.” Meng Feng hurriedly rejected He Yang.

Gu Luocheng quietly sat at the side, silently watching the two of them drink. He Yang looked at him and asked, “Eldest brother, do you have something on your mind?”

“Big brother’s biggest worry is you!” Meng Feng answered from the side.

“Yes, Fourth Bro is right. I was thinking about when you could be more reliable.” Gu Luocheng nodded in agreement. This second brother of his had indeed made him worry quite a bit.

While He Yang was gone, Gu Luocheng could only shoulder the responsibility of helping him support his parents. During this period of time, he had to search everywhere for He Yang’s figure to ensure his safety.

“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about me anymore. Come and chat with me. Have the two of you gotten a new partner in the past half year?” He Yang changed the topic. It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk about his experiences during this period of time. He didn’t say anything, and Gu Luocheng didn’t ask any further questions.

“You think that Big Brother is you? If you see a pretty girl, you can’t walk. ”

Staring at Meng Chao, He Yang softly asked, “Big bro, don’t tell me you’re still thinking about her?” In his eyes, Gu Luocheng was a particularly affectionate person.

“I’ve forgotten it for a long time.” Gu Luocheng smiled as he waved his hand. Now that he mentioned lovers, Shen Xingyue’s face automatically appeared in his mind and he couldn’t wave his hand away.

“Alright, the reason you called us over so late at night was to ask about our current situation. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. I’m still waiting to go back and play games. ” Meng Feng impatiently urged as he fiddled with his phone.

He Yang cleared his throat, “If you didn’t remind me, I would have forgotten. This time, I’m preparing to do something big, and that is, I want to get married.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Chao jumped up from the sofa. He looked around and then sat down uneasily.

Gu Luocheng also looked at him with great surprise, his eyes full of questions. “You have a partner to marry?”

He shook his head, “Nothing, but don’t be impatient. Give me three months. Just wait to attend my wedding.” He had a serious expression on his face.

After chatting with Meng Feng and He Yang until dawn, Gu Luocheng finally called the carriage home. He hadn’t slept for the entire night as he quietly gazed out of the window, thinking about Shen Xingyue.

Shen Xingyue had not slept for the entire night. She sat on the windowsill and watched the sun gradually rise. The sky was getting brighter and brighter. This night was exceptionally torturous for her; she was making painful decisions.
