Everyone in Jiangcheng said that Gu Jingyao, the eldest young master of the Gu family, was cold-hearted, aloof, and abstinent.
To escape the Ye family, Ye Shuning cut in on a blind date with him.
In the café, the man’s gaze fixed on the bold words “Marriage Agreement,” his dark eyes full of chill.
“I don’t care about any contract. If we get married, it’s for life.”
“Still willing to go through with it?”
His voice was calm and low, yet strangely persuasive.
“Think it over. Tomorrow at nine, at the Civil Affairs Bureau.” After dropping those words, he strode out of sight.
Ye Shuning went.
She had always thought she was the one getting the better end of the deal.
Only Gu Jingyao knew that even if she hadn’t shown up that day, he would have tricked her into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau anyway.
In the dim room, the girl held a tiny butterfly hair clip. Her eyes were red at the corners. “You lied to me. You promised you’d come back and take me away.”
The man brushed the tear from the corner of her eye with his fingertip. His voice was husky and tender. “I’m sorry I came so late. How does Ah Ning want to punish me?”
“Then… you have to sleep in the study from now on.”
A soft chuckle sounded through the room. The next moment, Ye Shuning was swept off her feet and lifted into his arms. “All right. We should change locations anyway.”
