Secret Rivalries in a Wealthy Family

Heavy curtains completely covered the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The room was as silent as death.

After a long pause, a woman's voice finally came.

"Xiao Bei, I know you don't want to. But if you refuse to marry her, your father will be unhappy."

"And you want me to marry her too?" a man asked from the darkness, his muffled voice clearly reluctant.

"None of us in the Gu family can do as we please. You have to understand..." The woman sighed helplessly.

"I understand," the man said, his voice cold and devoid of warmth.

"Get some rest." With that, the woman rose and opened the door.

The man remained silent. He knew the matter was already settled. Without changing expression, he walked to the window and pulled the curtains apart just enough to watch the woman hurry out of the house.

Every time they met, they had to keep it so secret.

Wasn't he Gu Yetting's own son, too? The man unconsciously clenched his fists, a chill rising in his heart.
