Chapter 70: Continuing to Court Death (2)

This is not something youre allowed to covet!

What a succinct and damning reply that had been!

To this day, Su Ziqian was still unable to forget how Gu Yus tone and expression hadnt had an ounce of warmth in them. The harshness he had displayed then had given her chills.

She couldnt understand why he felt so strongly about the ring. Gu Yu had never objected to anything shed asked for before. All she had to do was voice her desire, and hed have someone deliver it to her doorstep. She was even beginning to wonder what he would do if she asked for the stars! So why was he refusing to give her this old ring?

Her womans intuition told her that this ring already belonged to someone else. However, the only woman apart from herself who had ever been linked to Gu Yu was his ex-fiance, Xu Weilai!

She had asked around, and when shed found out about the story of Xu Weilai and Gu Yus breakup, she was convinced that Xu Weilai couldnt have been the rings owner. If it had been her, that would mean that Gu Yu liked her. And if that were so, why would he have backed out of their betrothal?

Su Ziqian hadnt been able to wrap her head around it, so she eventually decided to stop thinking about the rings owner altogether. Other than the fact that her family background was unavoidably inferior, she was confident that all her other traits were impeccable. She believed that Gu Yu would eventually be willing to put that ring on her finger and ask her to marry him.

Regardless of who the ring used to belong to, she would eventually be the one and only owner!

She had always confidently held onto that beliefuntil Xu Weilai returned. She was now beginning to panic and feel anxious. In fact, she wasnt acting much like herself at present!

Ms. Li scoffed in infuriation at Su Ziqians foolish sense of confidence. Ziqian, have you already forgotten the incident regarding the interview? Youve made a huge mess this time! If Mr. Gu gets mad, youre going to lose everything you have right now. Ill be blunt with you! Mr. Gu may dote on you, but he has never once acknowledged you in public! A man can change his mind at the drop of a hat! Just look at how he treated his ex-fiance! They used to be such a loving couple, and she was so favored! But didnt he dump her all the same? Do you want to be next?

Xu Weilai was the last person that Su Ziqian wanted to hear about at that moment, and the mere mention of her set off Su Ziqians fuse. What a joke! Can Xu Weilai even begin to compare with me?

Forget it. Given the current situation, for your sake as well as mine, well just have to figure something else out!

Su Ziqian stared at Ms. Li. What do you mean?

Ms. Lis lips curled up in a conspiratorial smile. I think that the reason Mr. Gu has never acknowledged you is because of his grandfather. Prestigious families like his usually insist on marrying within their circles, after all. However, given how old Mr. Gu Sr. is, Im sure he has a weakness!

Su Ziqian was stunned for a moment before the answer came to her. A grandchild?

Exactly. As long as you conceive Mr. Gus child, you wont have to worry about the old mans standards. If youre lucky and its a son, I refuse to believe that his grandfather wont welcome you into the family with open arms!

What she said did make sense. However, as Su Ziqian listened to her plan, she didnt look pleased at all. In fact, she was frowning.

Ms. Li detected her displeasure straightaway and asked, Whats the problem?

Su Ziqians expression changed a few more times before she finally gritted her teeth and forced the next sentence out. Gu Yu has never touched me!

Considering that he had never touched her intimately before, how was she going to make a child with him?

Ms. Li was dumbstruck. It had been three years, and he had never once touched her? Was Mr. Gu unable to perform?

Also he doesnt let me touch him, either! For these past three years, other than allowing me to put my arm in his at social functions, at any other time, he wont even let me touch a finger!

Su Ziqian hadnt originally intended to share such an embarrassing snippet of her life with Ms. Li, but this matter had been eating away at her anyways, and she couldnt understand it herself. Was Gu Yu the problem? Or was it her lack of charm that was to blame?

As Ms. Li digested this new information, she was silent for a moment. Her expression stiffened with resolve and she said, If Mr. Gu wont make the first move, youll have to instead! I have something wondrous that will guarantee you a night of passion with Mr. Gu!
