Chapter 79: Will You Marry Me?
As luck would have it, Chen Zirui kept messaging this phone, briefly mentioning Father Gu’s situation while constantly persuading Gu Huaiye to find a way to leave Xie Miaohan.
“Enough, how long are you going to look!”
Gu Huaiye wanted to grab the phone, but Xie Miaohan held it higher, using his height advantage to prevent Gu Huaiye from touching it.
He stared at Gu Huaiye with a cold, stern gaze, thinking about what to do to make Gu Huaiye give up on Chen Xialin.
“That’s the phone I picked up; what right do you have to take it away?” Gu Huaiye couldn’t reach it no matter what, so he gave up, glaring at Xie Miaohan. “Before, you told me you’d return my phone when we got to District B, but you reneged and didn’t mention it at all.”
“As long as you marry me obediently and swear never to see the Chen brothers again, I will return the phone to you.”
“They are my friends. Do I not even have the freedom to make friends now?”
“You don’t need friends like that.” Xie Miaohan said coldly, “I can recommend others to you, all wealthy merchants or nobles in District B. Associating with such people might help your Gu family.”
“I don’t want to!” Gu Huaiye stared at Xie Miaohan for a long time, the disappointment in his eyes almost impossible to hide. “What exactly am I in your eyes? A doll for you to manipulate?”
Xie Miaohan felt a bitterness in his heart. He turned his face away and whispered, “I just don’t want you to leave me.”
“Is it really right to lock me here and cut off my contact with the outside world just for your own selfish desires?”
Xie Miaohan fell silent, seeming unwilling to answer.
He knew he was wrong.
But he climbed so high just to lock Gu Huaiye down.
Whether in this life or the last, he just wanted to be with Gu Huaiye forever. Was that wrong?
He didn’t want to come home every day to see an empty bedroom.
Nor did he want to smell all kinds of messy pheromones on Gu Huaiye.
Clearly, he was Gu Huaiye’s wife, but his pheromones could never linger on Gu Huaiye. If Gu Huaiye went out for a while, they would dissipate very quickly.
He had undergone surgery.
But how could he, with an artificial gland, compare to Chen Xialin, who had extremely high compatibility?
Gu Huaiye would only think of him when he wanted to go to bed.
If he didn’t want to, Xie Miaohan would only have endless waiting.
He wanted to become powerful so Gu Huaiye could see him.
Maybe then he would be worthy of Gu Huaiye.
He certainly knew that this marriage, unblessed by anyone, was being maintained solely by his bitter efforts.
He just didn’t know how to make Gu Huaiye obsessed with him forever.
Since he couldn’t make Gu Huaiye truly fall in love with him, he could only use means to force Gu Huaiye.
Perhaps hate could also make Gu Huaiye see him.
“When you promise me not to contact the Chen brothers again, I will return the phone to you.”
Seeing him so stubborn, Gu Huaiye had to change his way of communicating.
“I believe you care about me.”
Xie Miaohan’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked up at Gu Huaiye.
“I also care about you. If I didn’t care about you back then, I wouldn’t have disregarded everyone’s opposition and insisted on marrying you. But ten years of marriage was too painful for both you and me; we both paid a terrible price.”
Gu Huaiye paused, then continued, “Have you ever thought that heaven gave us a chance to be reborn so we could turn back from our stray path and choose a more correct one?”
Hope had just ignited in Xie Miaohan’s heart, but hearing Gu Huaiye’s true intention, the light in his eyes dimmed.
“I don’t believe in that.”
“You…” Gu Huaiye took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, “I heard the royal family arranged a marriage for you.”
Xie Miaohan’s brow went cold. “Did Xiang Wanxing tell you?”
“Don’t worry about who told me. You’ve climbed so high now; maintaining it isn’t easy. Marrying into a powerful family might suit you better. I heard that’s an Omega whose pheromones match yours extremely well.”
“You don’t need to worry about me. No one dares to make me fall.” Xie Miaohan looked determined. “Pheromones can’t affect me. You’ve slept with me so many times in the past life and this one; you know that.”
Gu Huaiye was tired.
This was like trying to get water into a stone.
“Fine.” Gu Huaiye was willing to compromise a step further. “I can date you, but you must give up your current life and return to District A with us. You can’t imprison me, nor can you control who I associate with.”
Xie Miaohan shook his head without hesitation. “No.”
Even Gu Huaiye’s best temper was worn away.
“You insist on imprisoning me here?”
“Yes.” Xie Miaohan nodded.
Gu Huaiye was so angry he said “Fine” several times. “Alright, you won’t listen to reason at all. There’s no need for me to talk to you anymore. Get out; I don’t want to see you.”
Xie Miaohan got off the bed.
He gazed at Gu Huaiye with an obscure look.
After a long while, he whispered, “If I go to District A with you, will you marry me? Not dating, but marriage. Hand your company over to me; I’ll manage it for you. You can’t go out drinking, nor can you see Chen Xialin. Pick me up from work every day, and we’ll go home together to cook.”
Gu Huaiye hesitated.
He didn’t want a life like that.
He felt he had the ability to manage the Gu Corporation well.
In his view, Xie Miaohan was the one who should stay at home.
No, they shouldn’t get married.
Dating might be okay; as long as they saw reality clearly, they could separate easily without involving too many interests.
But marriage wouldn’t work.
He and Xie Miaohan simply couldn’t get along; marriage would only make them more miserable.
The past life was a lesson.
Gu Huaiye didn’t want to walk that path again.
He also didn’t have the courage to fight the torment of the susceptibility period.
He needed an Omega; he needed descendants to inherit the Gu Corporation.
It wasn’t that he didn’t love Xie Miaohan anymore, just that he couldn’t love this person again.
Seeing Gu Huaiye’s hesitation, Xie Miaohan hooked his lips in self-mockery, the decision in his heart becoming even more unshakable.
“Rest well.” Xie Miaohan held the phone, his eyes cold. “I’ll return this to Chen Zirui for you. You don’t need to contact him at all. I will help take care of your father. Once I’m done with work, we can get married. It won’t be too long, next month at the latest.”
After speaking, he didn’t give Gu Huaiye a chance to refuse and left the room.
After the argument, Gu Huaiye didn’t see Xie Miaohan for a whole week.
He couldn’t leave District B and didn’t want to struggle in vain, so he chose to stay in the villa.
Suddenly one day, Xiang Wanxing came.
Gu Huaiye was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Hearing footsteps, he glanced up at Xiang Wanxing’s face, then turned his gaze back to the magazine.
“The person you’re looking for hasn’t come back for many days.”
Xiang Wanxing laughed.
Immediately after, he sat down next to Gu Huaiye.
Gu Huaiye put down the magazine and frowned. “What do you want?”
“I came to find you.”
After speaking, Xiang Wanxing stuffed a bottle of medicine into Gu Huaiye’s hand.
