Chapter 33 Cornered Against the Wall
Mengyu forced a smile, “Brother Gu, you’re not joking, are you?”

She took a step back, wanting to put some distance between herself and Gu Dongxing.
“I’m not joking,” Gu Dongxing moved a step closer. “Didn’t you say I was your fiancé?”
Mengyu was a bit panicked.
Although she had indeed thought about snatching him from Jiang Huaiyu’s grasp, in this life, everything had changed, and she wouldn’t let Huaiyu recognize her as her biological mother, nor would her mother set her up with Gu Dongxing again.
Therefore, in this lifetime, there was no chance for Jiang Huaiyu to be involved with Gu Dongxing again.
But because in her previous life Jiang Huaiyu had married him using her identity, she subconsciously felt some displeasure.
And because of that, the urge to reclaim this man, who was supposed to be hers but ended up with Jiang Huaiyu in her previous life, had faded.
But now, he was using the words she had said before to corner her, and indeed, she had said he was her fiancé.
But she hadn’t fallen in love with him.
What should she do?
“Brother Gu, that was just a temporary measure in that situation. If I hadn’t said that, they would have taken me to Tiger Valley to be those brothers’ Shared Wife,” she retreated again.
Where would Gu Dongxing allow her to back away?
He pressed closer, trapping her against the wall with his hands on either side, pinning her in so she had nowhere to escape: “But you also said after escaping danger that you had no way to repay the life-saving grace, except with your body. So—”
Mengyu’s face showed a desire to cry: “But didn’t you reject me then? You even told me to respect myself.”
“But now I want you to repay me,” Gu Dongxing said.
“I—I haven’t thought it through.”
Mengyu was flustered and thought about taking out the Lingzhi from her storage talisman to give to him, but she hesitated to part with it. Suddenly, she thrust a gold bar into his hand: “This gold bar is for you. Consider it my repayment for saving my life.”
Gu Dongxing looked at the gold bar in his hand and then at Mengyu’s panicked expression, a smile appearing on his face. It was rare indeed to see her, the little scammer, showing panic.
He knew that her talk of having no way to repay the life-saving grace except with her body was insincere.
But since she had entered his heart, he would not let her go.
However, he didn’t force her.
“Then take your time to think about it. I’m not in a hurry.”
He released her and put the gold bar back in her hand: “Can my life-saving grace be measured with money? I’m giving this gold bar back to you.”
Mengyu, having regained her freedom, quickly looked away.
She had known all along that he wouldn’t want her gold. Nonetheless, she pushed the gold bar back into his hand: “Could you exchange it for money for me?”
Gu Dongxing stared at her: “Aren’t you afraid I will covet your gold bar?”
Mengyu shook her head: “I trust you!”
Gu Dongxing felt a twinge in his heart: a girl telling him, “I trust you.”
Mengyu smiled sweetly: “It’s not just because of the past—for the dream—anyway, I trust you.”
Gu Dongxing saw her go from flustered to controlling her emotions in no time, even smiling so sweetly, and thought to himself that this little fox was indeed not bad.
Yet, the fact that she said she trusted him also made him quite pleased.
After all, he had already taken this silly little fox under his protection, and naturally, her trust was very important to him.
“All right, keep the gold. Here,” he pulled out ten banknotes from his pocket. “Take these to use for now.”
Mengyu accepted them without fuss: “Thank you, I’m completely broke right now, consider it a loan from you.”
