Gu Yu stared at her in silence. She didn’t know if he didn’t want to answer this question, or if he felt that…… there was no need to answer her.

  But since she had decided to ask him clearly, Xu Weilai didn’t want to remain ignorant. It was fine if he didn’t answer since she could guess for herself.

  Xu Weilai’s fingertips unconsciously poked the table, and her clear black and white eyes stared straight at him. She rarely looked at him so straightforwardly. She didn’t expect that…… she would look at him like that under such circumstances, and it was because she was trying to see through his sincerity.

  “Is it because…… of the Zuo Corporation’s heiress?”


  Although she asked this question, Xu Weilai felt that it was unlikely. She had never heard that Gu Yu knew the Zuo Corporation’s heiress. They must have met during this business trip.

  Love at first sight basically didn’t exist in Gu Yu. He was an extremely cold person emotionally. It was easier said than done to enter his heart.

  Apart from his family, the Lin family that had accompanied him since he grew up, and his good brother, Xu Shuai, these were all relationships that had been established through blood-kin and time.

  Otherwise, after working so hard for so long, she had thought that she had gradually entered his heart, but in the end, hadn’t it still been all in vain?

  Just as she expected, Gu Yu didn’t hide anything and answered frankly, “This is between us.”


  Between us…… it was just between him and her.

  Xu Weilai nodded slightly. Actually, she already had the answer to the remaining questions in her heart, but hoping that he might have a different answer, she just wanted to gamble again.

  “Then……” her voice became a little hoarse, “Is it because of Grandpa?”


  Their marriage was set up by Grandpa alone, and it was Grandpa who forced him to marry her. If she hadn’t taken the knife for him and got wounded for him later, their relationship wouldn’t have eased up.

  “Xu Weilai, since you want me to tell everything, then fine, I’ll tell you.” Gu Yu’s lips twitched, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile. “We both know very well how we got married. I got married because of my grandfather, and you got married because of money. It was originally a deal where we both got what we wanted. I didn’t want to be forced, but my grandfather was getting old. He wanted to see me get married and have children, and you’re the one he liked. In addition, the knife you took for me got you injured and made me feel very guilty. Whether it was to fulfill my grandfather’s wish or to fulfill my responsibility towards you, I want to protect this marriage.”


  Xu Weilai’s eyes turned slightly red.

  When Gu Yu saw this, an ambivalent expression flashed through his eyes, but in the end, he continued to speak, “But now, grandfather is in a coma and I don’t know when he will wake up. Or perhaps…… Xu Weilai, I originally wanted to make do with this for the rest of my life, but grandfather’s greatest wish was for me to be happy in the future. But you are not who I want. ”


  He didn’t say a single word of sarcasm. His harsh words were much gentler compared to the harsh words he had said to her before.

  He only used a very calm tone to tell her his thoughts, but every word was actually more anguishing than his harsh words.

  Her eyes became more and more teary, and her nose was filled with bitterness. Xu Weilai’s long curly eyelashes trembled violently. She tried hard to swallow her saliva and suppress the choked sensation in her throat, but when she spoke, there was still some hints of a sob in her voice.
