You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Who Did You See Today?

Probably thinking they had chatted for too long, those men walked back.

“Mr. Gu, it’s getting late; you should return to the villa.”

After learning the news about his father, Gu Huaiye didn’t look pleasant either. “I know, no need to rush me.”

“Wait.” Xiang Wanxing suddenly came up to Gu Huaiye, leaned down, and whispered in Gu Huaiye’s ear, “Xie Miaohan rejected the royal family’s arranged marriage. This angered certain high-ranking nobles, so they deliberately arranged for Xie Miaohan to complete dangerous missions during this time.”

Gu Huaiye frowned deeply and looked up at Xiang Wanxing.

“Is the person to be married an Omega?”

“Mhm, I heard the compatibility is quite high.”

Gu Huaiye felt a bit sour in his heart, but it quickly disappeared, returning to calm.

“Why are you telling me this?”

Xiang Wanxing shrugged. “I just think you have the right to know. He could have risen rapidly, but he refused for you.”

Gu Huaiye wanted to laugh a little.

He was the one whose freedom was restricted; was he supposed to be grateful?

Perhaps the news of his father’s illness made him burn with anger, preventing him from treating this matter rationally for the time being.

“I know. Thanks for telling me.”

Xiang Wanxing nodded slightly and left with his arm around Chen Zirui’s shoulder.

“What did you guys just say?”

Xiang Wanxing pinched Chen Zirui’s face. “Little Shorty doesn’t need to know.”

Chen Zirui expressionlessly kicked Xiang Wanxing.

“Hiss, you dare kick me.”

“You told me yourself not to treat you as an Omega.”

Chen Zirui gave him the middle finger, turned his head, and crawled into the car.

Veins popped on Xiang Wanxing’s forehead.

Giving the middle finger all day long; sooner or later, I’ll fuck him with my middle finger.

After returning to the villa, Gu Huaiye began to be distracted.

He touched the phone in his pocket from time to time, expecting Chen Zirui to call him and tell him news about the Gu family.

At night, he hid under the covers and used the phone to check news about the Gu family.

He didn’t know if Xie Miaohan had arranged it intentionally, but he couldn’t find any news about the Gu family at all.

He looked through the contacts in Chen Zirui’s phone, found Chen Xialin’s number, and dialed it.

Unsurprisingly, no one answered.

Gu Huaiye hung up the phone in frustration, inevitably worrying about Chen Xialin’s safety.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Gu Huaiye looked panicked and quickly hid the phone under the pillow.

Then he pulled down the quilt. Fresh air rushed into his nose, and at the same time, he saw Xie Miaohan’s exhausted face.

Gu Huaiye’s expression shifted slightly.

Wasn’t he gone for half a month?

Why did he come back so suddenly?

Xie Miaohan didn’t notice anything unusual about Gu Huaiye. He got into bed and pulled Gu Huaiye into his arms.

It was winter now, and Xie Miaohan carried a chill on him, causing Gu Huaiye to shiver involuntarily.

“Have you not showered yet?” Gu Huaiye said with a tone of disgust.

“Sorry.” Xie Miaohan kissed Gu Huaiye’s ear to appease him. “Let me hug you for a while; I’m so tired.”

He had killed quite a few people again today.

But fortunately, no blood got on his clothes, or it would have scared his Huaiye.

“Who did you see today?” Xie Miaohan asked casually with his eyes closed.

Gu Huaiye’s spine stiffened, thinking those people had snitched to Xie Miaohan.

He immediately raised his head and said angrily, “You clearly know, so why ask me?”

Xie Miaohan was stunned and opened his eyes to look at Gu Huaiye.

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Huaiye felt he was testing him. He took a deep breath, suppressing his pent-up anger, and questioned, “Was my dad angered into the hospital by your people?”

Xie Miaohan’s eyes turned cold.

“Who told you?”

“Why ask so much? Is it true or not?”

Xie Miaohan pursed his thin lips and nodded in admission.

“Yes.”

Gu Huaiye’s eyes immediately revealed disappointment, and he pushed away Xie Miaohan’s embrace.

Seeing this, Xie Miaohan hurriedly explained to him, “I’ve already punished those people, but you can’t entirely blame them. Actually, your father’s health is indeed not as good as before. I think bringing your father here early is the correct choice. District B has the most advanced medical care. Once he’s brought here, I’ll take him for a full body checkup.”

“But my father doesn’t want to come.”

Xie Miaohan fell silent for a moment, his attitude stubborn. “He will understand; this is your home.”

“Why must you make us accommodate you?” Gu Huaiye was patient, speaking earnestly, “Have you ever thought that this place doesn’t suit me and Dad at all? I thought about developing in District B before, but now I’ve thought it through. I just want to live a stable life with Dad.”

Xie Miaohan’s eyes were gloomy, his head lowered in silence.

Gu Huaiye couldn’t leave District B.

Once he went back, he would lose Gu Huaiye completely.

And he, too, couldn’t leave here.

He had to grasp power to truly possess Gu Huaiye.

Xie Miaohan closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, his expression returned to coldness.

“I will have your Gu Corporation moved to District B, but it needs some time. Leave it to me; I will handle it properly.”

Gu Huaiye was about to die of anger at Xie Miaohan.

Why did it feel like playing the lute to a cow?

“Don’t you understand? Dad and I don’t want to stay here.”

Xie Miaohan didn’t want to talk about this anymore and changed the subject. “Do you want to go back to District A?”

“Yes.” Gu Huaiye’s eyes lit up, thinking Xie Miaohan had come around. “You’re willing to let me go back?”

Seeing his impatience, Xie Miaohan’s heart throbbed with pain.

“Mhm. Our wedding is in District A, so naturally, we have to go back.” Xie Miaohan said, “After the wedding, you and I, and your father, will return to District B together. We’ll be a family then. I’ll treat your father well and do my best to satisfy him.”

Gu Huaiye realized he was still obsessed, and his heart went cold.

“Forget it, I can’t get through to you.” Gu Huaiye turned his back to Xie Miaohan. “I won’t get married. Give up on that idea.”

Xie Miaohan didn’t understand how to respect him at all.

Imprisoning him in an unfamiliar place, without any equipment to contact the outside world, and not even allowing him to see friends.

With days like this, how dared he bring Father Gu over?

If he saw him imprisoned here like a prisoner, he’d probably be angered into the hospital again.

Gu Huaiye dared not joke with Father Gu’s life.

Xie Miaohan hugged Gu Huaiye again. Just as he was about to say something, he sensed a vibration under the pillow.

His face turned solemn. He sat up and reached under the pillow.

“Why do you have a phone?”

Gu Huaiye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out to grab it.

“I picked it up on the road.”

Xie Miaohan lowered his head and laughed, not believing a word he said.

Especially since the screen was displaying a selfie of Chen Zirui.

He stared at the password, thought for a moment, and entered six digits.

Sure enough, it unlocked.

He saw Chen Xialin’s name in the call log.

Six consecutive calls—it showed how nervous Gu Huaiye was about that person.
