The Reluctant Bride

"Things are not what you think, why do you always involve others?"

other people? Is Zhou Ying someone else? Zhou Ying is a thorn in her heart. For several years, day and night, she has trouble sleeping and eating.

"Is that someone else?" Qiao Xinwan didn't think she had made a mistake: "That is the woman you love, the woman who takes your heart. Do you think I don't know?"

Rejecting Gu Xuewu with a hand, Qiao Xinwan resisted him to the extreme. The more she pushed, the tighter Gu Xuewu held her, trapping her in his arms, and refused to let go.

"Qiao Xinwan. Calm down."

"I'm very calm." Qiao Xinwan dared to say that she had never been so calm like this: "Do you think I'm saying something outrageous? No. Gu Xuewu, I won't reconcile with you. My Qiao Xinwan will be mean again. It's okay to find a love of your own. What I want is a man who wholeheartedly, in my heart, only sees me in my heart. Not a man like you, impure, with another woman in his heart. Do you understand? You can get out."

Zhou Ying's face flashed through Gu Xuewu's heart, her face that was originally very clear, but now it was blurred. Seeing the stubbornness on Qiao Xinwan's face, she held her with her hands and refused to let go.

Many complex emotions were surging in his heart, and he couldn't find words to explain. Turning Qiao Xinwan's body, she cuddled her in her arms, rubbed the top of her hair with her jaw, smelled the rose fragrance on her body, and the voice of her exit was somewhat helpless.

"I don't know what to say. I can't tell you, I'm in love with you now. But I like you, at least for now, now, what I have before my eyes is you, and the person in my arms is you. I don't want to explain The past. Also, the woman you saw the day before yesterday was not Zhou Ying."

"Not Zhou Ying?" Qiao Xinwan raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief: "If she is not Zhou Ying, how could she look exactly like Zhou Ying?"

"I'm also curious." Gu Xuewu's gaze suddenly became far-reaching: "She seems to know a lot, but I'm pretty sure that she is not Zhou Ying."

"You, how are you sure?" Qiao Xinwan couldn't believe that there were two people in the world who looked the same: "Are they sisters?"

"No." Gu Xuewu shook his head: "She's Li Lan, not Zhou Ying. She is the daughter of the Li family. My mother once let us have a blind date."

Qiao Xinwan was full of doubts: "Blind date?"

"Yes." Gu Xuewu looked at the doubt on her face: "It was the time you met me in the coffee shop before. My mother arranged for us to have a blind date. I am pretty sure she is not Zhou Ying. Why would you come to pester you when you are with her?"

"That's because of Zhou Ying..." She couldn't have children. When Qiao Xinwan arrived here, she was a little guilty. More than four years ago, she used Zhou Ying's low self-esteem and her illness to let her leave.

In fact, she was not sure whether Zhou Ying was alive or dead in the past five years. Maybe with five million, she cured the disease, not necessarily.

but……

"What?" She was only half talking, making Gu Xuewu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Xinwan with some puzzlement.

"That's because Zhou Ying is not here, so you want to pester me?" Qiao Xinwan continued to follow the words, covering up the uncomfortable face: "If Zhou Ying is here, you will be with Zhou Ying. Gu Xuewu, After talking for a long time, you are still a bastard. Because in your heart, I am just a substitute. You, you are simply abominable."

I pushed Gu Xuewu away. This recognition hit Qiao Xinwan again and made her angry: "Go away, you go to die, why don't you die?"

Gu Xuewu pulled her back and looked at the anger in her eyes. Raised an eyebrow lightly: "Qiao Xinwan, can it be said that in your heart, I am a person who can do it and find a substitute?"

Qiao Xinwan was speechless for a while, and Gu Xuewu squeezed her hand at this time, not letting her get up: "Even if it is a substitute, I want to like it? If I don't like it, what if you have Belle? What do you think? Is there really no way I can take Belle to review the house?"

If it weren't for being ruthless, he could have a way to quietly take his daughter away from Qiao's house. If he didn't have this ability, he would be the boss of Qilintang.

Qiao Xinwan was taken aback, watching Gu Xuewu couldn't say the whole thing: "You, you cannot..."

"I can." Gu Xuewu looked at the shock in Qiao Xinwan's eyes: "You better believe that I can do more than you think."

A soft sentence, but very powerful, Qiao Xinwan believed, she had always believed in Gu Xuewu. just……

"I still can't promise you."

"why?"

"I said, what I want is a unique love. And you can't give it to me."

"Love?" Gu Xuewu paused for a while because of the seriousness in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Unique? I really can't guarantee it now, so I hope you will give us each other a chance, a time , Let things develop in the direction we want. Isn’t that okay too?"

"I don't think you will fall in love with me." Qiao Xinwan looked at Gu Xuewu: "I'm not the type you like. You said that, didn't you?"

"If feelings can be controlled with my own will, is it still called feelings?" Gu Xuewu felt that Qiao Xinwan was making unreasonable troubles at all: "Seriously speaking, you are indeed not the type I like. But I do like you now. Do you think What else can you hesitate about?"

"You want me to promise you. Yes." Qiao Xinwan nodded, looked at Gu Xuewu's face, and said, "When did you forget Zhou Ying? When did I promise to get back with you."

"Qiao Xinwan."

"Don't call me again." Qiao Xin tactfully opened her face, not allowing herself to look at the emotions in Gu Xuewu's eyes: "I have missed it once. Gu Xuewu, you can't help but know how I got here during those three years of marriage. Or you know it, but you pretend to be stupid. You have to punish me. I know. I don’t want to go back to the past. I don’t want to taste that again in my life. Today you can change my outlook because of Belle, Slowly fall in love with me. Will you return to being cold-faced with me because of Zhou Ying's sudden return tomorrow? I can't stand it. Gu Xuewu."

Turning her face, she looked at his gaze squarely, and there was a thread in her eyes praying: "Gu Xuewu, if I am not destined to you in this life, then I would rather I never have your relationship. But if we are destined, then I am the most What I don’t want is that after I get it, I lose it again. That’s worse than letting me die."

Push me around? If you have never had it, you can still deceive yourself, but when you have it and then lose it, she can't imagine or face the pain.

So she must kill the pain in the cradle. Don't give Gu Xuewu a chance.

"You are too pessimistic." Gu Xuewu didn't miss the emotion in her eyes, and a bit of reluctance surged in her heart. He believed in himself: "Since I said to be with you, then no matter what Zhou Ying is doing. I will never again. Be with her."

"Your person may not be with her, but what about the heart?"

Now I vowed that I will not be shaken. It is because I didn't see Zhou Ying. What if I did?

How can he guarantee that because he saw Zhou Ying, he would not think of the previous things, and then resurrect with Zhou Ying, and the two will be together again?

Then, how will she deal with herself? How to face Gu Xuewu's heart that he has already gained but suddenly lost?

Gu Xuewu was stunned. He really couldn't speak for things that hadn't happened, nor could he say what would happen to him. He has not found Zhou Ying yet.

And he must find Zhou Ying. But yes, no matter whether they can be together or not, at least one should ask her for an answer, and this kind of remark is obviously not suitable for Qiao Xinwan.

Because she will definitely not accept that she has to go to Zhou Ying. Seeing his silence, Qiao Xinwan stood up and stepped back a few steps away from Gu Xuewu.

"Gu Xuewu. You can't give me what I want. I don't want what you give. So please stay away from me. Give me peace and space. If you really like me. Then this is You are the most kind to me."

Gu Xuewu looked at Qiao Xinwan and couldn't say what he wanted to say. Qiao Jie knocked on the door at this time, saying that it was time for dinner.

Qiao Xinwan didn't pay attention to Gu Xuewu, and went over to eat with Qiao Jie. Gu Xuewu stood in Qiao Xinwan's room for a while, looking at the Danish settlement manuals, his eyebrows wrinkled.

Turn around and go downstairs.

In the living room, Father Qiao waited for Qiao Xinwan to go downstairs, and just saw Gu Xuewu go up. At this time, Qiao Xinwan came down alone. Father Qiao was taken aback and looked behind Qiao Xinwan.

"Where's Xuewu?"

"Dad. Didn't you eat?" Qiao Xinwan didn't want to mention Gu Xuewu: "Let's go for dinner."

"Xin Wan?"

Mother Qiao and Father Qiao looked at each other and saw Gu Xuewu also followed downstairs. His gaze swept across his face, his expression a little puzzled.

Gu Xuewu went downstairs and stood beside Qiao Xinwan. When he stood beside her, Qiao Xinwan intuitively moved a few steps to the side.

Her movements were obvious to the people present. The Qiao's parents looked at each other, a little puzzled in their eyes. Turning his eyes to Gu Xuewu, he leaned slightly towards the two elders.

"I have something else, don't bother."

After saying this, he glanced at Qiao Xinwan. In his eyes, there was a meaning she could understand, but Qiao Xinwan turned her head away. Gu Xuewu twisted her eyebrows, but didn't say anything, just turned and left.

He could stay, but he knew in his heart that Qiao Xinwan was not calm at this time, or was too calm. He gave her time to make her think clearly. If she really understands herself, she will understand that once he decides something, it will never change.

Watching Gu Xuewu leave, Qiao Xinwan sat down on the sofa as if all her strength was exhausted. His face was somewhat innocent.
