She touched her growling stomach, then grabbed her phone to take a look. Itâs already half past 11!
Thinking about how she was about to head to the guillotine at two oâclock in the afternoon, Zhuang Nainai was startled. She quickly washed herself and was about to go eat when she saw... Gu Deshou, Gu Xinghao, and Gu Xingshan were sitting downstairs. The three of them had packed properly and were eating at the dining table.
Seeing Zhuang Nainai, Gu Deshou suddenly waved. âQingyan, quickly come and eat. In a bit, I will send you to the Civil Affairs Bureau together with your brother and sister.â
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt irritable. Did she need to be escorted to the guillotine?
Forget it, sheâll take things as they go!
Zhuang Nainai looked up and saw a table of dishes. When she walked over to sit down, after the nanny scooped rice for her, she began to wolf down her food.
No matter what happens, she needed to eat her fill. Only then will she have the strength to fight!
Upon seeing how she was acting, the three Guâs looked at each other.
Gu Xinghao cocked his eye at Gu Xingshan: From the way sheâs eating, it doesnât look like sheâs at a loss. Maybe youâre wrong?
Gu Xingshan furrowed her brows, pouting at Gu Xinghao: Weâll see about that! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They finished eating at 12 oâclock. Gu Deshou was driving. There wasnât a traffic jam at all, so they only used an hour to get to the designated Civil Affairs Bureau.
As they were early, they sat in the seats along the hallway to wait.
1:30 p.m.
Gu Xingshan and Gu Xinghao stretched their necks to look outside. âWhy is Mr. Si not here yet?â
Gu Deshou leisurely replied, âThereâs still half an hour, whatâs the rush?â
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head to stare at the time on her phone.
1:50 p.m.
Gu Xingshan already started smiling. âSis, why arenât you worried at all? Are you sure Mr. Si will come or not?â
Gu Deshou was a little anxious, tightly pursing his lips.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fist but continued staring at her phone, not saying a word.
1:55 p.m.
Gu Deshou was already unable to sit still. He stood up, walking to and fro. From time to time, he walked to the entrance to look outside through the glass door.
1:59 p.m.
Gu Deshou fiercely rushed in front of Zhuang Nainai. âQingyan, whatâs going on?â
Gu Xingshan jeeringly said, âDad, this is so obvious, do you need to ask? Mr. Si thinks she isnât worthy!â
Gu Xinghao leaned over. âI say Gu Qingyan, the marriage news on the news, is it real or fake? Canât you say something? Are you mute?â
âBro, do you still need to ask? Itâs definitely fake. Mr. Si isnât coming, that shows that heâs angry!â After saying this, she anxiously looked towards Gu Deshou. âDad, we are finished! She tricked Mr. Si, will Mr. Si take out his anger on our Gu Corporation?!â
Upon hearing words from the two people, Gu Deshouâs face immediately turned livid. He stretched out his hand to tightly clutch Zhuang Nainaiâs hand. âGu Qingyan, say, what the hell is going on?!â
Whatâs going on?
Zhuang Nainai looked down at her cell phone, watching as the time on the screen turned from 1:59 to 2:00 p.m.
Her heart suddenly felt empty.
Zhuang Nainai smiled slightly, giving a self-deprecating expression.
She couldâve told them the truth before coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she still came.
So... Zhuang Nainai, what are you hoping for?
How could he marry her?
One blow after another, was it not enough?
She fiercely jerked her head up, staring at Gu Deshouâs eyes. âFine, you asked me whatâs going on, Iâll tell you...â
Just then, the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau was suddenly pushed open by someone!
