Free Web NovelChapter 1040: Chapter 18: From Today On, You Belong to Mr. Gu
"Go ahead, try leaving," Gu Yan gritted his teeth, his starry eyes coolly fixed on Nie Xiaoxing, uttering each word deliberately.
Nie Xiaoxing pursed her lips, looking at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan squinted his eyes. Whether he looked from top to bottom or left to right, the only thing he could read from her face were two words—speechless!
Fire burned in Gu Yan’s heart, but he forcibly held it back, his handsome face tense as he looked at Nie Xiaoxing and said, "Sit down."
"Staying here serves no purpose..."
"Nie Xiaoxing, I’m very aggravated right now! So don’t make me say it again!"
Gu Yan’s starry eyes were tinged with red, staring angrily at Nie Xiaoxing.
And she was also aggravated!
That kiss just now... was her first kiss, okay?!
Nie Xiaoxing looked at Gu Yan, her bright eyes hiding a dark annoyance.
Gu Yan saw her still standing stubbornly, her face buried in hidden anger. The fire in his chest grew hotter and hotter. After holding back, he finally couldn’t help but shout, "If anyone else dared treat Mr. Gu like this, I’d dig up her ancestors’ graves in seconds!"
Nie Xiaoxing said nothing.
"I’m telling you, Nie Xiaoxing, if Mr. Gu can’t perform from now on, you’re fully responsible!" Gu Yan said gloomily.
Nie Xiaoxing frowned, "Serves you right!"
"You’re still being defiant! Do you have a death wish?!"
Gu Yan suddenly reached out, pulling Nie Xiaoxing, forcefully dragging her to sit beside him.
Nie Xiaoxing bounced lightly twice on the sofa as Gu Yan held her hand, pinning it down hard into the sofa.
Nie Xiaoxing gasped for breath, her eyes were even brighter, glaring at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, how dare you act so shamelessly? Clearly, you were the one being the pervert first. I was just teaching you a little lesson. Now you’re the one playing the victim!"
"Teaching me a lesson? You call that teaching me a lesson?" Gu Yan automatically ignored the first half of Nie Xiaoxing’s words, dragging her hand towards his unwilling spot.
"Ah... Gu Yan, you pervert!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s arm was filled with goosebumps, her fingers curled tightly into her palm, each expression on her face showing rejection.
There was still an inch left, but Gu Yan didn’t continue pulling, seeing Nie Xiaoxing’s frightened and repulsed expression, his heart unexpectedly softened, his handsome face slightly tense as he lowly hummed, "What’s with the ghostly expression? It’s hideous! You think Mr. Gu’s treasure is just for anyone to touch?"
"Disgusting!" Nie Xiaoxing spat disdainfully!
Gu Yan didn’t mind being cursed by her, humming as he continued, "Disgusting? You won’t have to use it in the future!"
When Gu Yan said this, his voice was somewhat low.
But Nie Xiaoxing, being close to him, heard it clearly.
Nie Xiaoxing’s face blushed instantly, both incredulous and red-faced, staring at Gu Yan, her whole face lightly twitching.
She seriously doubted.
Is there anything that Mr. Gu wouldn’t dare to say in this world?
"Gu Yan, do you know how to write the word ’shameless’?" Nie Xiaoxing ground her teeth.
Gu Yan squinted, staring at Nie Xiaoxing, suddenly saying, "Nie Xiaoxing, from today on, you’re Mr. Gu’s woman!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s back was full of black lines.
Looking at Gu Yan, it was like looking at some unknown creature from Mars!
"Mr. Gu, do you know how peculiar your logic is?" Nie Xiaoxing looked at Gu Yan speechlessly.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, seemingly a bit proud, glancing at Nie Xiaoxing, "The day after tomorrow, obediently go and get the marriage certificate with me. After the certificate is issued, I’ll protect you from now on!"
As he said this, Gu Yan looked Nie Xiaoxing up and down, staring into her eyes and said, "Ugly, but with time, it’s not so bad, isn’t it? The ugliness isn’t that serious, just average ugly!"
"Gu Yan!"
Nie Xiaoxing lifted her leg and kicked over.
Gu Yan took a kick in the chest, causing his heart to shudder twice, his starry eyes suddenly darkening, glaring angrily at Nie Xiaoxing, "Are you crazy!!"
"Gu Yan, I’m warning you, if you dare mention the word ’ugly’ in front of me again, I’ll beat you until you’re searching for your teeth on the ground, and I’ll take your surname!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s face was flushed with anger, her bright eyes were slightly watery, her chest heaving rapidly as she spoke.
Gu Yan stared at Nie Xiaoxing’s red eyes, his thin lips squeezed together, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
His dark eyes softly squinted.
He couldn’t deny that Nie Xiaoxing indeed had some skills.
But if he truly went head to head with her.
She wouldn’t be his match at all.
"I will never register the marriage with you!" Nie Xiaoxing forcefully pulled out her hand being held by Gu Yan, frowning as she spoke.
"Your trick of ’playing hard to get’ has been seen through by Mr. Gu, and you’re still pretending?"
Gu Yan stared coldly at her, wearing an expression that suggested Nie Xiaoxing was being unreasonable.
Nie Xiaoxing was almost amused by anger.
Taking a deep breath, Nie Xiaoxing straightened her back and sat sideways towards Gu Yan, staring directly into his eyes and said, "I, Nie Xiaoxing, will absolutely not register the marriage with you, Gu Yan. If these words are a play of ’playing hard to get’, then let me, Nie Xiaoxing, never marry..."
"Nie Xiaoxing, are you finished?"
Gu Yan looked calmly at Nie Xiaoxing, but these words were squeezed out one word at a time through his gritted teeth.
Nie Xiaoxing’s throat tightened, and she lightly clenched her fists.
Gu Yan glanced at her tightly clenched hand, and suddenly reached out to grab one of her fists, and before Nie Xiaoxing could struggle, he tightened his grip forcefully.
Nie Xiaoxing looked at Gu Yan in surprise, not understanding what he wanted to do now.
"Why the sudden unwillingness to register the marriage with me?"
Gu Yan stared intently into Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes, his voice somewhat lowered, his emotions not clear.
"...What’s so strange about this? I never wanted to from the start." Nie Xiaoxing said frankly, being watched by Gu Yan.
Gu Yan gave a mocking smile, lowered his head to look at the hand he held in his palm, "Not necessarily!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Gu Yan.
He couldn’t have discovered her feelings for him...
"Let me guess."
Gu Yan curled his lips into a smile, his handsome face showed a half-smile, and his eyes held a hint of coldness, "Your sudden strong and firm refusal to register the marriage with Mr. Gu must be related to that man with the surname Lu, right?"
Surname Lu?
Who?
Nie Xiaoxing was a bit confused, not making the connection to Lu Zhiquan.
Seeing the trace of bewilderment in Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes, the smile on Gu Yan’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a shadow of cold darkness, "Wishful thinking!"
Nie Xiaoxing, "..."
Gu Yan abruptly grabbed Nie Xiaoxing’s hand and pulled her towards him, his other hand timely pinched Nie Xiaoxing’s chin, his eyes cold looking at Nie Xiaoxing’s slightly panicked eyes, "Nie Xiaoxing, Mr. Gu has changed his mind, Mr. Gu insists on registering the marriage with you!
Whether you refuse or are unwilling, it all means nothing! From today onwards, you, Nie Xiaoxing, are Gu Yan’s person!
So you better behave! Don’t even have a shred of the thoughts you shouldn’t have! Otherwise, Mr. Gu... will devour you alive!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes widened, staring at the handsome face so close to her, her lips quivered for a long time, finally speaking, "...Are you sick?"
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched, letting go of her chin and hand.
He leaned lazily against the back of the sofa, lowered his eyes to stare at a certain spot, finally it didn’t hurt so much anymore!
Squinting his eyes, Gu Yan glanced sideways at Nie Xiaoxing, who seemed inexplicably dazed, not quite in the right state, and secretly tightened his back molars.
...
Ever since Gu Yan suddenly decided to register the marriage with Nie Xiaoxing, within a day, Nie Xiaoxing was dragged to several gatherings by Gu Yan.
She met Huo Shaojun, Huo Chengjin, Rong Sinan, Lei Yicheng, Xiao Nanqing, Tang Yige, and Mu Yan.
By evening, Nie Xiaoxing had to go to work, Gu Yan insisted on going with her.
Claiming that since he decided to register the marriage, it was time for him to show as the soon-to-be rightful husband.
So, he planned to accompany Nie Xiaoxing at work, and conveniently pick her up after work!
Nie Xiaoxing had resigned herself to Gu Yan’s occasional bouts of crazy behavior!
Moreover, Nie Xiaoxing found out that Gu Yan’s behavior often lacked logic, when he decided to do something, it was often not well thought out, but done on impulse!
In the Taekwondo training room, Nie Xiaoxing glanced at Gu Yan who entered with hands in pockets, saying, "There are resting chairs over there. I’m going to change into my Taekwondo uniform."
Gu Yan nodded, observing the spacious training room, walking slowly towards the resting chairs.
Nie Xiaoxing watched him for a moment, before pursing her lips and heading towards the changing room.
She had just reached the doorway.
And saw Lu Zhiquan, dressed in a Taekwondo uniform, come out of the men’s changing room.
The two met at the door, both slightly surprised.
Lu Zhiquan’s eyes flashed with a shimmering light, taking a big step towards Nie Xiaoxing, "Xiaoxing..."
