“What’s Gu Shengxiao doing here?”

Wen Ya’s expression changed. Her eyes filled with shock and she could not stop herself from crying out.

That can’t be right!

The aura on Gu Shengxiao’s body isn’t right!

Has he broken out of his puppet state? That’s impossible, that’s definitely impossible. There isn’t a single person in this world who can lift a puppet from its state!

“Big Brother Gu?”

Wen Yue was shaken when she heard Wen Ya cry out. She quickly pulled the red veil off her head and stared directly at the black-robed man who had just entered the great hall.

Is Big Brother Gu here to save me?

A pleasant feeling, one which she has never felt before, emerged. Tears formed in her eyes as she stared at Gu Shengxiao with excitement.

“Are you Gu Shengxiao?”

The Left Emissary shifted his gaze from Gu Ruoyun to Gu Shengxiao who was the last to enter.

“Wen Ya told me that you had romantically ensnared Yue’er like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh. You actually fantasized about having her! Yue’er likes me but you’ve complicated things by harassing her and causing trouble for her. Don’t you have any shame?”

The Left Emissary’s eyes turned red when he saw his love rival. He had even forgotten about picking a fight with Gu Ruoyun as he continued to glare fixedly at Gu Shengxiao.

“Are you certain that her heart belongs to you?”

Gu Ruoyun gently raised the corners of her lips into a fake smile as she looked at the Left Emissary who was still unable to comprehend the situation.

Whoosh!

Wen Ya’s expression has turned as white as a sheet. Never in her wildest imagination would she have thought that Gu Ruoyun would arrive here with Gu Shengxiao.

After all, Gu Shengxiao was the only bargaining chip she has to threaten Wen Yue with! If she lost that bargaining chip, she would never be able to control Wen Yue!

“Of course.” The Left Emissary laughed coldly. He then turned towards the woman next to him and his gaze softened, “Yue’er, don’t be afraid. With me around, these people can’t hurt you.”

As he spoke, the Left Emissary reached out and tried to hold Wen Yue’s small hand.

However, once the Left Emissary’s hand touched Wen Yue, the latter flung it off fiercely and smacked his hand away!

The Left Emissary was shocked. His hand froze on the spot as he stared at Wen Yue in astonishment.

“Yue’er, you...”

Gu Shengxiao’s appearance caused Wen Yue’s courage to return. She turned to the Left Emissary and spoke very clearly, “Left Emissary, I don’t love you! Nor do I wish to marry you!”

I don’t love you!

These words crashed like a stroke of lightning on a clear day and stunned the Left Emissary.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared at Wen Yue in disbelief. “Yue’er, you’re joking with me, right? Your older sister had told me that you’ve only ever loved me while it was Gu Shengxiao who had harassed you and tried to force you to marry him!”

“Older sister?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Yue burst into disdainful laughter. “What kind of older sister is she? Ever since my childhood, I’ve never had any position to speak of in the Wen family! I’ve even suffered beatings, scoldings and humiliation! My older brother was forced to leave the First City by these people and his whereabouts are now unknown! If you had not expressed your interest in me, the Wen family would never have stopped beating me and the wounds on my body would never have healed.”

She seemed to remember the torture she had endured and shut her eyes in agony.

“Wen Yue!”

Wen Ya panicked and cried out in an attempt to stop Wen Yue’s exposé.

However, Wen Yue ignored her completely and kept her eyes on the Left Emissary. “I don’t like you. The person I love is Gu Shengxiao. It was the Wen family who had threatened to take Gu Shengxiao’s life to force me to marry you. Now that Big Brother Gu is safe and sound, there’s naturally no need to become your wife!”
