”Irresponsible? Look at me, do I look like I'm joking? ”
Gu Xi Nian lifted his chin. Although his temperament had changed, and he had become a bit colder, his eyes were still as clear and resolute as they were five years ago.
For a moment, Gu Qian panicked.
She was extremely familiar with those eyes, the eyes of a serious Gu Xi Nian.
But so what?
If he could marry Gu Qian just because of a single sentence, then where was the meaning behind Gu Qian's decision to leave Gu Xi Nian?
The pain of breaking up, the countless days and nights of torture, the hardships of being alone with the birth of a dragon and phoenix, A Yuan and a person without a father to grow up with, all these were nothing.
These were things that Cushion did not even know.
And now, he had suddenly appeared in her life, even saying that he wanted to marry her. How laughable was that!
”So what!?” ”Cushion, we broke up five years ago. Was it because I didn't say it clearly enough?”
Gu Danshui's eyes were misty and filled with emotion.
Gu Xi Nian's breath stopped, and his expression turned extremely ugly. He stared at Gu Qian, and the anger in his eyes instantly enveloped Gu Qian.
”Gu Qian!” You really have the nerve to mention five years ago! Didn't you think I was poor at the time? ”Look, I'm now the president of the Gu Lin Group, if I want to be successful, it'll have to rain and rain, not to mention a woman like you who loves money!”
Gu Xi Nian was probably extremely angry, and his gnashing of teeth had added a sense of humiliation to his words.
Gu Qian's breathing became heavier. He was both angry and wronged. After hearing Gu Xi Nian's words, he became more and more agitated. His chest heaved up and down.
”Gu Xi Nian, am I such a person in your heart? ”If not for the fact that …”
Gu Qian bit his lip, stopping himself from continuing.
For a moment, she really wanted to make it clear.
”That year? ”What was that?” Gu Xi Nian frowned, not letting go of this important point.
”Nothing.”
Gu Xi Nian had a faint feeling that Gu Qian was hiding something very important, the real reason why they broke up five years ago.
Gu Xi Nian frowned and grabbed Gu Qian's wrist, who was trying to escape. He wanted to know what Gu Qian's next words were.
His wrist was in so much pain from being grabbed by Gu Xi Nian that he couldn't get rid of it.
Faced with Gu Xi Nian's pressure, Gu Qian remained silent.
Gu Xi Nian looked at Gu Qian, his long eyelashes covered with tears. His face was red from using too much strength, like a delicious and sweet peach. It made people want to kiss him.
Gu Xi Nian lowered his head and was about to kiss her, but Gu Qian suddenly realized his movements and turned his head.
In the end, before they could even kiss, their lips accidentally brushed past each other's.
Gu Qian widened his eyes in astonishment. His ears turned red, and his foggy little deer eyes revealed a feeling of shame and annoyance.
The softness on Gu Qian's lips had not been felt for a long time.
While Gu Xi Nian was distracted, Gu Qian broke free from his confinement and ran out of the meeting room.
Fortunately, Kubei didn't make too much of a move after that. It was probably because the Gu Lin Group was very busy and rarely came to this small company these few days. It was basically because of Ke Bei's work arrangements.
When Yu Xuan saw Gu Qian, who had walked out of the meeting room that day, with reddened eyes and an unsightly expression, she wanted to ask a few times. However, she was always distracted by Gu Qian's use of other topics.
Thus, he had endured it all along, almost suffocating her to death.
