Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Love is Mutual, Are You Worthy?
Lin Gantang was furious.
In this relationship, Wen Yanqing had always been cautious, sensitive and humble; this injury made him even more doubtful about himself and his future.
She built up his confidence piece by piece, only to be unable to defend it against an outside push!
No wonder he always thought about making arrangements for her, no wonder he was so despondent. Look at this person, spouting the words of demons!
He’s not worthy.
He’s selfish.
He’s making things difficult for her.
Gu Zhichuan despicably sought to destroy Wen Yanqing’s emotions.
Just like in the past when she was with him, he would coldly scold her, “Think about it yourself.”
He’d ask impatiently, “Is it necessary to fuss over every little thing?”
He’d disregard her coldly, “You’re making unreasonable fuss, calm down.”
And now, he still stands on a moral high ground, demanding others heed his advice!
“I, Lin Gantang, came to this world for Wen Yanqing. You dream if you want me to leave!” Lin Gantang said angrily: “Don’t dress up your ulterior motives as consideration for me! Who needs it!”
Lin Gantang’s slap and her gaze, filled with knife-like resentment, left Gu Zhichuan stunned in place.
He touched his burning face, a mix of numbness and pain.
“Did I say anything wrong? His blindness is a fact; his brain nerve issues are facts.” Gu Zhichuan licked his blood-tainted, sweet-tasting cheek: “Gantang, don’t be impulsive, dating is fine, but why gamble with marriage?”
Gu Zhichuan admitted he was despicable; if Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing were together again, he might still hope. But if she were to register their marriage now, he wouldn’t have the slightest chance.
He looked at Lin Gantang’s eyes, filled with hostility, and felt a choking sensation in his heart, a hard-to-describe sourness swelling within him: “We’ve been together for so many years, and you never loved me as deeply as you do him today, without looking back.”
“For you?” Lin Gantang scoffed.
I, Lin Gantang, died once for the sake of loving you, isn’t that enough?
She heard what seemed like the biggest joke, her gaze turning frosty: “What have you done for me, what right do you have to expect my wholehearted devotion. Gu Zhichuan, love is reciprocal, do you deserve it?”
Gu Zhichuan’s eyes looked defeated: “Him, everything about him is perfect in your eyes, but now that you’re registering, he doesn’t even cast a shadow.” “That’s all you can cling to, isn’t it, Gu Zhichuan? Save yourself some dignity, and don’t force me to slap your other cheek,” Lin Gantang’s eyes swept over him coldly: “Not leaving now? Would you like to stay here and wait for me to give you wedding candy?”
Gu Zhichuan’s breathing was tight: “Gantang.”
“You think you can stop something?” Lin Gantang said coolly and mockingly: “If you won’t go, then stand here and watch as Yanqing and I walk in hand in hand, come out with a marriage certificate. Would you mind being a witness, and not worry about giving a wedding gift later?”
“Gantang, why does your speech always have to be thorny?” Gu Zhichuan listened in discomfort.
“You don’t have to listen.”
Gu Zhichuan pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with an expression of loss and embarrassment.
As he exhaled the smoke, a deep frown formed between his brows.
Lin Gantang moved away into the distance, not wanting to be tainted by the smell of his tobacco at all.
Gu Zhichuan noticed her displeasure, looked at the cigarette in his hand, and ultimately snuffed it out.
“Fine, I’ll go.” Gu Zhichuan tossed the extinguished cigarette into the trash bin, turned, and got back into his car, starting the engine.
After driving a distance, when he could no longer see Lin Gantang’s figure in the car’s rearview mirror, he stopped the car, picked up his phone, and dialed Mr. Lin’s number.
She was right; maybe he couldn’t stop her decision. So he would look for someone who could, even if it might not succeed.
He couldn’t bear to watch her legally become someone else’s wife from then on.
“Hello?”
“Uncle, it’s me, Gu Zhichuan..”
