Chapter 2 I Will Not Marry Him
Gu Qibao was suddenly startled, and in the next second after she spat on Di Mingjue, she reflexively ducked behind him.

One good thing about a poker face—it emits a strong presence, perfect to be used as a shield.
"Don’t open the door!" Gu Qibao whispered in plea, intuitively feeling it couldn’t be a stranger ringing the bell at this hour. If it was someone she knew, she would be caught.
What a spineless brat, Di Mingjue’s eyes displayed a hint of disdain.
When had a person like him ever obediently listened to others? He looked unapproachably gorgeous, what did he have to fear?
He flung the door open only to see Gu Qibao’s parents standing outside. The Gu Family was one of the four great families in the Empire, naturally, the two families had a good relationship, but why were they here now?
Faced with this situation, Gu Qibao’s first thought was to run away, but she couldn’t. Feeling guilty, she could only shrink behind Di Mingjue. For the first time, she discovered that it was nice to have a strong aura. Unlike her, whose heart was as jittery as a sparrow’s.
"What have you two done?" Gu Ruhai was caught off guard by the scene. A vein immediately popped out on his forehead.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Qin, you’ve seen everything, is there a need to ask?" Di Mingjue was all cold and impassive.
"Gu Qibao!" Gu Ruhai was so furious that he reached out to pull her away. Terrified, Gu Qibao shrank further behind Di Mingjue with a determination not to come out even if it led to her death.
The disdain in Di Mingjue’s eyes overflowed. He reached out, intercepting Gu Ruhai, "Uncle Gu, if there’s anyone you want to blame, blame me."
"You jerk, Di Mingjue!" Furious as hell, Gu Ruhai didn’t hesitate and swung his fist at him.
Surprisingly, Di Mingjue didn’t evade it and took the punch squarely. The impact caused a trickle of red to seep from his thin lips. His deep dark eyes were cool as frost, the stain of red on his lips resembled poppy flower – it looked beautiful, but was deadly at the same time.
He himself was a handsome man, but his beauty did not overshadow his emperor-like demeanor, authoritative and cold.
After the punch, he seemed to fully exude his intimidating aura. The demeanor was akin to an African Lion, the king of the jungle, beautiful, graceful, yet extremely dangerous.
He stared at you, ready to pounce and rip your throat out at any given moment. Instantly fatal.
Even his elders felt a bit wary under such momentum. Gu Ruhai even unconsciously took a step back.
Withdrawing his breathtaking aura, Di Mingjue nonchalantly wiped the blood from his lips, "This has nothing to do with Xiaoqi."
Gu Qibao was hiding behind him and dared not speak. She always was a bit weak, Di Mingjue was a man, so it was up to him to handle this.
Gu Ruhai eyed Di Mingjue, listening to his manly speech, his irate eyes turned into a kind of recognition, "Since it has happened, you two should get married."
"What?" Hearing this, Gu Qibao was the first one to freak out. "I’m not marrying him!"
Di Mingjue turned around, causing an inexplicable sense of danger to approach Gu Qibao.
Feeling the cold majesty, Gu Qibao shrank her neck, yet remained steadfast in her refusal. "What are you staring at? I won’t marry you."
"Neither will I marry you. We’re even, and we owe each other nothing." Di Mingjue’s face is breathtakingly cold.
What does he mean by ’even’? She never owed Di Mingjue anything before, besides, this kind of thing always disadvantaged the girl.
She was still an innocent girl and Di Mingjue already had a girlfriend, yet he had the audacity to say "we’re even". She had never seen someone so shameless!
Marry him? That’s definitely out of the question!
Even if he was handsome and regally unapproachable, she didn’t like him. He perennially wore a poker face, as if everyone owed him a large sum of money. She didn’t want to look at that icy face every day. What was she supposed to do? Use it as an air conditioner?
