Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (1) Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (1) Gu Annan watched herself drumming up courage and a helpless smile curled at the corners of her lips.

As soon as they entered the Gu Mansion, Gu Yanming and his wife Fang Ya were sitting on the sofa, looking at something on a tablet, occasionally discussing it with a tap of a finger.

The moment the two of them entered the room, the tablet was swiftly put away.

“This must be Lu Wanwan, come and have a seat,” Fang Ya called out warmly, completely ignoring Gu Annan beside her.

Gu Yanming wore a smile, different from Fang Ya, as he had met this girl at the engagement party last time.

At that time, he didn’t know what had happened, but Gu Annan had kept her protectively in his arms.

Then he had completely let down his guard, knowing that his son wasn’t just faking a marriage to bluff them.

It’s just that although the girl was Ye Jing’s daughter, it seemed that she wasn’t particularly favored in her own family at the time, as they had always wanted to push the other daughter over.

“Uncle, Aunt,” Lu Wanwan was still pondering how to appease the elders’ anger, so the sudden atmosphere had her bewildered.

It didn’t seem like they were angry at all.

“Still calling us Uncle and Aunt?” Gu Yanming’s tone was gentle.

Fang Ya gave him a look. It was their first meeting, and the girl might not feel comfortable with the address.

“Then let’s go with Uncle and Aunt for now,” Gu Yanming immediately corrected himself.

Gu Annan did not show any surprise at this scene, his handsome face expressed a detached indifference, and stretching out his long legs, he sat down beside them.

“Did I tell you to sit down?” Gu Yanming’s face turned stern.

Without even looking his way, Fang Ya pulled Lu Wanwan to sit beside her and let out a light sigh, “Some people, there’s just no helping them.”

Listening to the tone, Lu Wanwan sensed there was still blame in it. She turned her head, her gaze one of suspicion and seeking confirmation as it fell upon Gu Annan.

Yet she saw him just crossing his legs, sitting back lazily and casually, showing no reaction to the evident dissatisfaction of Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu.

Was she supposed to take action?

“Uncle, Aunt, actually, I am to blame for all this.” Lu Wanwan steeled her heart, ready to speak her mind, “It wasn’t his idea, it was mine.”

Fang Ya was a bit stunned, looking at her with a meaning-laden gaze, “Wanwan, what are you talking about?”

Gu Yanming, stroking his chin, said that this decisive and carefree approach was clearly their son’s style.

“It… it was my suggestion,” said Lu Wanwan, bracing herself as she spoke with earnest clarity, “I was the one who brought up marriage, he was actually forced. Uncle, Aunt, it was wrong of me not to ask for your opinions in advance.”

Fang Ya and Gu Yanming both turned to look at Gu Annan.

Gu Annan, supporting himself with one hand on the armrest of the sofa, his handsome face showed no particular expression, only his eyes narrowed slightly with an intriguing look towards Lu Wanwan.

Fang Ya’s mouth twitched slightly, suddenly feeling that their son was also somewhat unlucky to have ended up with this girl.

He looked reluctant, but in reality, there wasn’t a hint of having been forced, a classic case of playing the martyr after benefiting from the situation.

In this world, even they as his parents could not force Gu Annan to do something he did not like.

“If you disagree,” Lu Wanwan saw the changing expressions on Uncle Gu’s and Aunt Gu’s faces and began to feel unsure, “it’s okay, we can still get a divorce!”

Gu Annan’s eyelids suddenly lifted, his gaze shooting straight at Lu Wanwan.

Fang Ya and Gu Yanming were almost simultaneously taken aback, “How can that be possible?!”

Lu Wanwan looked over in surprise.

Fang Ya explained, “Who said we disagreed?”

“But Auntie, didn’t you come here specifically because of this?”
