10 I Make Them Tired Every Day (1/2)
The skies cleared up in the afternoon. Jin Qingyan went to check up on the wedding preparations while An Xiaoning, who felt bored staying at home, went out for a walk.
The roads were still wet after the rain. With her bag slung over her shoulder, she walked on the streets and suddenly heard a few honking sounds from a car horn.
An Xiaoning turned back to look and realized that seated in the car was Gu Beicheng.
She did not know this man well, having met him only once. Moreover, Jin Qingyan had a cold relationship with him, making her even more reluctant to acknowledge him.
So An Xiaoning just looked him in the eye and continued walking ahead.
Gu Beicheng did not expect that An Xiaoning would ignore him completely.
Hence, he moved the car ahead by one length and, without any notice, he got off the car. ”Ms. An, I wish to talk to you alone.”
”I'm not interested in talking to you.”
”It can't be that you're afraid to sit in my car?” His gaze was unusual, and his tone had a tinge of laughter, which left one guessing. ”It's regarding Jin Qingyan, I'm sure you'll be interested.”
”What exactly do you want to say?”
”Get in the car, I won't do anything to you.”
He went forward to open the car door. An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings, then got in.
Gu Beicheng drove the car to a quiet place, then he turned around and said calmly, ”As far as I know, you and Jin Qingyan haven't known each other for a long time, and yet you married him readily — aren't you a little too bold?”
”What has this got to do with you? I even dared to marry someone like Shi Shaochuan, with whom I had no contact at all before. What is so bold about marrying Jin Qingyan?”
”That is true.” Gu Beicheng continued firmly, ”However, Jin Qingyan will never fall for you in this life, so you better be mentally prepared.”
”Are you trying to drive a wedge in our relationship?” An Xiaoning curled her mouth. ”I won't fall into your trap.”
Upon hearing this, the faint smile in Gu Beicheng's eyes grew deeper. ”Someone who loves a woman to such extremes that, even though she is with another man, he still continues to love her — what makes you think he'll fall for you?”
An Xiaoning knew whom he was referring to, but he still said stubbornly, ”He's married to me now so we'll be living the rest of our lives together. If he really loves that woman to such extremes, why did he agree to marry me? Both his heart and body should stay loyal — that is what 'loving to an extreme' means.”
”Look — you insist on arguing with me, Ms. An, can you see the future? If no, then what makes you think he'll live with you for the rest of your life without divorcing?”
”Because…” An Xiaoning answered weakly, ”Because he is very sincere about marrying me, so he will not divorce me so easily.”
”Tsk…” Gu Beicheng sneered. ”Let me tell you, as soon as Chi Rui'er reaches her hand out to him, he'll embrace her and kick you out.”
Seeing that she was about to rebut again, he continued, ”Whether I was right about what I said, see for yourself in the future.”
”Even if it were like that, I won't regret it.” An Xiaoning raised her chin slightly. ”I, An Xiaoning, can still live a brilliant life after leaving any man.”
Gu Beicheng started the engine. ”Where are you going?”
”If you will, send me to my doorstep. The world outside is too dangerous — it's best to stay at home to play with my dog.”
