Chapter 238: An Ugly Creature, Daring to Envision Mother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The position of main consort was highly coveted by numerous n.o.blewomen in the capital. Therefore, he was confident that Gu Qingluan wouldn’t decline.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi, hiding behind the door, stole glances through the crack.
Hearing Qitian Yu’s words, both of them were angry.
“A toad wants to eat swan meat!” Gu Xiaonan snorted.
Feng Yuanxi added, “Precisely, has he ever glanced in the mirror? An ugly creature having audacious thoughts about our mother! Where does he summon such confidence!”
He wasn’t even worth a fraction of what Royal Father is!
In reaction to Qitian Yu’s proposal, Gu Qingluan responded with a mocking tone, being direct and blunt. “You have the span of half an incense stick’s burn time. Return to where you came from within that limit.”
Qitian Yu hadn’t expected her to be so impolite. His expression froze for a moment.
Those who had thought Gu Qingluan would readily accept were also taken aback.
Miss Gu actually refused the Fifth Prince’s proposal?
With her awkward status, where could she find a better man than the Fifth Prince?
A hint of anger flashed in Qitian Yu’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it behind a doting smile. “1 know this might seem abrupt, but you should understand my intentions, Qingluan. Once we are married, I’ll treat your child as my own. When we go to the Qiankun Academy, I’ll take care of him for you. Let me in now, everyone is watching outside.”
He had put a lot of effort into courting Gu Qingluan.
Outside the Qiankun Academy, outsiders were not allowed in, and with Gu Xiaonan being young, Gu Qingluan surely wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her son alone there. His words were bound to touch her.
Moreover, he had defeated numerous experts in the selection compet.i.tion, becoming one of the top three.
With his excellence, what reason did she have to refuse?
Gu Qingluan sensed the hidden meaning in Qitian Yu’s words and curved her lips into a mocking smile.
“Your intentions? Qitian Yu, do 1 need to tell everyone about your past actions?”
Qitian Yu apologized, “Are you still upset about what happened back then? 1 explained before, in the heat of the moment and out of anger, I dissolved the engagement between us. But my feelings for you never changed. Over the years, other princes have married and had children, but 1, as the Fifth Prince, haven’t even taken a concubine. Qingluan, my intentions towards you have always been sincere.”
“The Fifth Prince is truly affectionate!”
“Even after being rejected by Miss Gu, he’s not angered. That’s definitely true love!”
“Miss Gu, please agree! The Fifth Prince has deep affection for you. Where else could you find someone superior?”
“That’s right, that’s right. If you miss this opportunity, you might not get another.”
Gu Qingluan looked at Qitian Yu’s pretentious expression and felt a wave of nausea.
Having only reunited with her son in recent days, she lacked the patience to deal with these scoundrels. Did they truly believe she had let go of past grievances?
Since they were pushing her b.u.t.tons, she wouldn’t hold back.
Gu Qingluan applauded with her hands raised. “The Fifth Prince acts well.”
Qitian Yu’s expression slightly changed, “Qingluan, I’m being sincere.”
“Do you admit that you did something wrong five years ago?”
Qitian Yu paused briefly, feeling somewhat strange, but to coax Gu Qingluan into marrying him, admitting a mistake wasn’t a big deal. “Yes, are you willing to give me a chance to change?”
“Sure, since you made a mistake, kneel down and kowtow to apologize.”
Qitian Yu’s expression drastically changed.
People around them started to gossip.
“Miss Gu actually wants the Fifth Prince to kneel down for her, isn’t she too spoiled by favoritism!”
