41 A contractual marriage (39)_1
The man’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t respond, Gu xichao’s 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 Ruan’s tone was rational and cold, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Gu xichao’s 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.
“That’s 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, we’ve been married for more than a year, but we haven’t even spoken much. Do you think I’ll believe you if you tell me that you like her? ”
not to mention, I’ve already betrayed this marriage some time ago.
from what I remember, you’re such a proud person. Would you tolerate your wife cheating on you? ”
Jiang Ruan wasn’t 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 Ruan’s words, Gu xichao’s expression changed.
His snow-white fingertips pressed against the woman’s Red lips. Gu xichao looked very serious. don’t 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, didn’t you? mu Feng and I …
He stopped her from continuing. The man’s beautiful eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.
“I don’t care,”
“Even if it’s true, I don’t care.”
as long as we can live well in the future, that’s 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 Ruan’s 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 xichao’s face, even though it was just for a fleeting moment.
Gu xichao should not have lost his composure like this.
However, mu Feng’s 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.
