You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 72

Chapter 72: The Ring Must Stay On

Gu Huaiye passed out twice. In the end, he really couldn’t hold on anymore and cried while begging Xie Miaohan for mercy.

Xie Miaohan remained silent for a long time before finally giving him an inhibitor.

Finally recovering, Gu Huaiye’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed. But before he could speak, Xie Miaohan pressed up against him again, hugging him from behind.

“I really can’t do this anymore!” Gu Huaiye gritted his teeth to emphasize. “If you keep going, I’ll die.”

He never expected that being topped would be so unbearable.

It wasn’t exactly painful, but there was a sense of powerlessness, of being controlled—wanting to resist but unable to. At the same time, he felt it would be humiliating if word got out.

He also wondered how Xie Miaohan had willingly been the one underneath for those ten years.

Was it for money, or was it for something else?

“I won’t touch you anymore.” Xie Miaohan lowered his head and kissed Gu Huaiye’s shoulder, his voice a bit hoarse. “Sleep. It won’t hurt after you sleep.”

When Xie Miaohan kissed him, the teardrops hanging on his eyelashes dripped onto Gu Huaiye’s shoulder.

Gu Huaiye felt a tightness in his chest.

How is it that after being reborn, the ‘Flower of the High Mountain’ turned into a crybaby?

Just going to bed, and Xie Miaohan cried more than he did.

“Aren’t you going to inject yourself?” Gu Huaiye asked. “Your pheromones are so thick; is your susceptibility period coming too?”

“I don’t need it,” Xie Miaohan answered word for word. “I can endure it.”

“You…”

Thinking Gu Huaiye didn’t believe him, Xie Miaohan continued to explain, “In the past life, after I had the artificial gland installed, my susceptibility periods came more frequently than before the surgery. But every time, you were away having fun for long periods. I relied on myself to get through them. Unless it’s a special circumstance, I don’t need inhibitors.”

This made Gu Huaiye feel guilty.

It wasn’t that he really liked running away from home often.

It was just that Xie Miaohan was always cold to him, only had eyes for work, and it was a struggle even to get a text back.

Even in bed, he wore a cold face, as if Gu Huaiye was forcing him. After it was over, Gu Huaiye would wake up to find the person gone.

Chen Zirui had told him he needed to give his wife a sense of crisis so he would cherish him.

Gu Huaiye had only ever dated Xie Miaohan and knew nothing about relationships, so he could only trust his good brother’s advice and run off every few days.

If Xie Miaohan didn’t come to find him, Gu Huaiye would get petty and simply not return for a whole month.

Sometimes Xie Miaohan came to find him; other times, he compromised first and went to the office to make up with Xie Miaohan.

In the end, they really weren’t suitable for each other.

Even if he hadn’t gotten engaged to Chen Xialin, he didn’t want to return to those days.

Every day spent worrying about gains and losses, afraid that he or Xie Miaohan wouldn’t be able to endure the susceptibility period and would run off to mark another Omega.

He didn’t want to be permanently suppressed by Xie Miaohan, nor did he want to take Xie Miaohan for surgery again.

Gu Huaiye closed his eyes and whispered, “Suit yourself.”

He didn’t know how long he slept, but when Gu Huaiye woke up again, Xie Miaohan was still holding him, seemingly having maintained this posture for a long time.

Gu Huaiye lowered his head to pry Xie Miaohan’s arm away, when he suddenly glimpsed a ring on his ring finger.

The hand Xie Miaohan had resting on the back of his hand was also wearing a ring.

When did he pick them back up?

Is he an idiot?

Gu Huaiye felt both anger and heartache as he gritted his teeth and pushed Xie Miaohan’s hand away.

Xie Miaohan’s eyes snapped open, his gaze cold.

Having been on the battlefield for so long, he would wake instantly at the slightest movement.

Seeing it was someone familiar, his eyes softened, and he kissed the top of Gu Huaiye’s head.

“Finally slept enough?” Xie Miaohan curved the corners of his mouth. “Are you hungry? Let’s go down and eat.”

Gu Huaiye turned around and held up his hand. “Why did you put a ring on me?”

Xie Miaohan’s gaze fell on his ring finger. “How can there be a wedding without rings? If you’re not satisfied, I’ll have someone custom-make new ones after we’re married. Just make do with this for now.”

“Is it a question of being satisfied or not? I never said I wanted to marry you! Look, my susceptibility period came, and you couldn’t comfort me at all; we still had to use inhibitors. Can’t you see we aren’t compatible at all?”

“I’ve already retrieved our documents,” Xie Miaohan answered irrelevantly. “As for your father… indeed, he doesn’t quite agree with us marrying. But it doesn’t matter, as long as he shows up at the wedding.”

“Why aren’t you answering me?”

Xie Miaohan laughed lightly. “What do you want me to answer? That I’ll let you go? Watch you leave with Chen Xialin?”

Gu Huaiye didn’t want to argue with him. He took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, “I don’t know why you’re so fixated on me after being reborn, but you and I need to look forward. I don’t want any more entanglement with you. It’s too exhausting, do you understand?”

Xie Miaohan didn’t answer, staring at him with dark, gloomy eyes.

Gu Huaiye braced himself and continued, “You are a Commander now, with a noble status I really can’t climb up to match. You worked so hard to climb this high; you need descendants to inherit your legacy.”

“I don’t need those things.”

“But I do,” Gu Huaiye lied against his heart. “I want children, and you can’t give them to me.”

As Gu Huaiye’s words fell, the atmosphere suddenly turned freezing cold.

He could feel Xie Miaohan’s gaze like a blade, but the words were already out; he couldn’t take them back.

Xie Miaohan laughed out loud again.

He gripped Gu Huaiye’s chin, his eyes revealing a sickly paranoia.

“If there were such a surgery, I would have done it long ago. Unfortunately, we are destined not to have children, so stop thinking about impossible things. having me alone is enough.”

Immediately after, he moved his hand to Gu Huaiye’s neck and squeezed it with a hint of threat.

“You are not allowed to take off the ring, and you must attend the wedding. Otherwise, I will kill Chen Xialin, dig out his heart, and feed it to you, just to help you two star-crossed lovers be together.”

Gu Huaiye felt a chill run down his spine.

Looking at the ruthless gaze in Xie Miaohan’s eyes, he realized he meant it.

“You didn’t let him go home?”

Xie Miaohan tilted his head, staring at him with a faint smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Why would I release such a good hostage?”

Gu Huaiye said angrily, “Why must you hurt innocent people?”

“He’s innocent?” Xie Miaohan sneered. “If he’s innocent, then the whole world is full of innocent people.”

In the past life, Chen Xialin had deliberately left his pheromones on Gu Huaiye time and time again.

If it hadn’t been Gu Huaiye asking for it, pheromones wouldn’t stain someone for no reason. Moreover, with their pheromones being so compatible, for Chen Xialin to dare release his pheromones was nothing short of seducing Gu Huaiye to mark him.

This led to the situation where, even though Xie Miaohan smelled Chen Xialin’s disgusting scent, he still didn’t push Gu Huaiye away, allowing Gu Huaiye to do whatever he wanted.

He didn’t dare push him away.

He was afraid Gu Huaiye would run off to mark Chen Xialin.

The two parted on bad terms once again.

Xie Miaohan went to the army, and Gu Huaiye stayed in the villa, thinking of ways to rescue Chen Xialin.

Suddenly, someone threw small stones at his window.

Gu Huaiye paused, then quickly ran over and looked down.

“Brother Gu!” Chen Zirui waved his arms at him. “Brother Gu! I’m here!”
