Chapter 221: She Refuses to Accept This
Chapter 221 She Just Can’t Accept It
Gu Dongxing couldn’t help but fume inside. Ye Rushui really had no tact.
But his face remained calm and waveless: "The reason Jiang Mengyu said that was because I have been pursuing Jiang Mengyu, but she has never accepted my advances. At that time, Jiang Mengyu had just been sold by her foster parents and escaped from human traffickers. She was being chased by the buyer, and her Master was already gone, traveling somewhere. When she met me, she came back with me.
"It was definitely not proper for her to move into the big courtyard just like that, so I asked her to stay here under the pretense of being my fiancée, to see if I was suitable as her betrothed. That’s why she said what she said."
Everyone was shocked; so, was Gu Dongxing truly pursuing Jiang Mengyu?
Then, does it mean that the supposed engagement was indeed fake?
In other words, Ye Rushui wasn’t wrong?
Gu Dongxing added: "However, from the very first glance, I took a liking to Xiao Meng. In my heart, I had already acknowledged Xiao Meng as my fiancée! Otherwise, I would not have brought her back to stay in the big courtyard under the name of my fiancée.
The so-called mission requirement was just an excuse I found."
Then everyone suddenly understood.
That’s right, Gu Dongxing is such a shrewd person, how could he allow a girl to pretend to be his fiancée and even live in his house, while he himself would stay away in the big courtyard.
It might be that pretending to be a fake fiancé is just Gu Dongxing’s grand strategy for pursuing his wife.
Moreover, anyone but a fool could see the doting affection in Gu Dongxing’s eyes when he looked at Jiang Mengyu.
It is certain that as soon as Jiang Mengyu agrees, they could instantly go from being a fake engaged couple to a real one.
Indeed, Gu Dongxing went on to say: "Today’s treat was originally meant to introduce Xiao Meng to everyone, because today, Xiao Meng has already accepted my pursuit. Tomorrow, I’m going to take her to meet my parents, and then I will submit a relationship report!"
Everyone immediately understood that the high-profile treat today was to announce Jiang Mengyu’s status.
And if they’re going to submit a relationship report, what else is there to doubt about the truth or falsehood of their relationship?
Ye Rushui’s face turned pale in an instant: He’s actually going to submit a relationship report, and the girl isn’t her!
She didn’t want to believe that she had failed.
In the past few days, she had been thinking of ways to drive Jiang Mengyu out of the big courtyard, lest their pretense turned into reality.
But after thinking of many methods that wouldn’t work, she could only put it aside for the time being, deciding to start with Mrs. Gu.
What she never expected was that the supposed engagement between Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu was not, as she thought, completely unintentional.
It was Gu Dongxing who had intentions, while Jiang Mengyu was considering it, which was why they had not confirmed their relationship.
And if Jiang Mengyu really had no intentions towards Gu Dongxing, why would she be willing to pretend to be his fiancée?
So even if her identity as Gu Dongxing’s fiancée was fake, as long as she was willing, it could become official in minutes!
How could she still compete?
But she just couldn’t accept it!
She had set her sights on Gu Dongxing since they were very young.
When the kids played house, she fantasized about being Gu Dongxing’s bride, but Gu Dongxing disdainfully refused to be the groom and let Zhou Erhuo take the role.
She didn’t agree on the spot, and Gu Dongxing simply said, "If you don’t want to play, then we won’t play. Let’s go shoot marbles."
She couldn’t understand why Gu Dongxing just wouldn’t like her.
"Why?" she couldn’t help but ask.
The relatives were quite puzzled, why what? Were they asking why Gu Dongxing liked Jiang Mengyu, or why Gu Dongxing didn’t like her?
But even if you want to ask why, you should not ask in front of everyone.
