Gu Liangchen narrowed his eyes and admitted, “Yes, I took advantage of the power of the Zhu family to become the president of the corporation, then I used the Gu family’s financial resources to help Director Zhu succeed in his career, and we mutually benefited each other for three years.”

“So you abandoned me and my unborn child to be a corporate president?”

Lu Anran’s eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. Gu Liangchen felt like a stranger to her.

She could accept him marrying another person for fame and money. What she couldn’t take was him using marriage to gain power, leaving her and their unborn child. He even specified the price and timeframe.

At the time, yes, he loved her, but he loved fame and fortune more.

Gu Liangchen looked straight into her eyes, and there was a stinging pain in his heart. He said calmly, “I also had my reasons at the time… Besides, when the three-year period expires, my marriage with Lanyi will be dissolved.”

Lu Anran sneered. “Then what?”

Gu Liangcheng’s thin lips uttered two words, “Marry you.”

He spoke decidedly.

Lu Anran was aghast. The nerve of this guy!

“You’re confident that I will marry you?” She was toying with the teacup in her hand.

“Because you are my, Gu Liangchen’s, woman. Whoever dares to covet you will have to fight me…,” Gu Liangchen confidently said.

Splash.

Lu Anran splashed the tea on Gu Liangchen’s face.

“There are many kinds of crooked men, and you are the most disgusting of them.”

Although the tea wasn’t that hot, Gu Liangchen’s skin quickly turned red, and his shirt was wet.

But he didn’t seem to care. He took out a tissue and wiped himself, then said, “Are you okay now? If so, let’s eat.”

She snorted. “You expect me to be okay?”

What’s wrong with this man?

“What do you want me to do?” Gu Liangchen looked at her. Lu Anran didn’t respond, so Gu Liangchen offered, “Would you like to splash another glass on my face?”

He refilled her tea as if mocking her to do it again.

Lu Anran looked at Gu Liangchen who had a grin on his face, and her mood gradually changed. She knew him too well; she couldn’t get around him.

She simply stood up, lowered her head, and smiled at him. “When you are out of my sight, I will eventually calm down.”

Gu Liangchen met her gaze with a helpless expression. “That is too difficult. I can’t do it. How about a compromise, eh?”

“Then let me go! Let me live my life free from you!” Lu Anran yelled.

On the couch, he was sitting on the outer edge, and she couldn’t get out without him making way.

The two of them faced each other for a few seconds, and Lu Anran completely lost her patience. Suddenly, while holding the table with one hand for support, she thought of jumping over in front of him.

She knew martial arts, and she also conveniently wore jeans today. She thought it would be no problem to climb over this annoying man and get out of this place.

Before Lu Anran could do anything, Gu Liangchen acted fast and hugged her.

She was pressed onto his thigh. At the same time, his voice slowly sounded in her ears, “Be good and stop making trouble. Or else… Or else I would do what you had dreamed that I would do every night to make up for the three years we’ve been apart.”

His gaze was too intense, penetrating her heart.

Lu Anran blushed from his stare, and she couldn’t help but move back. However, the edge of the table was behind her, and his hands were still wrapped around her waist.

Gu Liangchen saw her reaction and laughed, shaking his head. “It seems you know what I want to do.”

“Shameless!”

He was teasing her; and Lu Anran was flustered, annoyed, and angry. She tried to break away vigorously.

It happened that Gu Liangchen was stronger than her, and she struggled in vain. In the end, in an act of desperation, she turned to his neck and opened her mouth to bite him.
