Chapter 787 - 787 Puzzled
787 Puzzled
“Five years ago!”
Qiao Nian pursed her lips tightly. She had received Eldest Senior Brother’s letter four years ago.
What she was sure of now was that Eldest Senior Brother was still alive and well. As for why he did not appear, she did not know.
Seeing that Qiao Nian was deep in thought, Gu Zhou pulled her into his arms and looked down at her. “Nian’er, you could have chosen not to marry me. Why did you marry me?”
Qiao Nian’s body was pressed against Gu Zhou’s. She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to retreat a little, but she didn’t expect Gu Zhou to be pressed so tightly against her that she had no choice but to stand rooted to the ground.
Gu Zhou’s eyes were turbulent.
He still remembered when the lights in the small villa on the mountain had dimmed. Qiao Nian’s fear of him was still evident.
Someone who could react like this must have been hurt.
It was very likely that Qiao Nian had been hurt before.
Gu Zhou recalled Qiao Nian’s expression when she mentioned Chang Feng. His throat moved slightly. Could it be that Qiao Nian had been saved by Chang Feng after being wronged?
Gu Zhou really didn’t want his imagination to run wild, but his mind didn’t seem to listen to him. He frowned and enunciated each word clearly. “Nian’er, did you marry me for him?”
Gu Zhou’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of probing and gentleness.
Qiao Nian met Gu Zhou’s eyes and was about to refuse when she heard Gu Zhou say, “I want to hear the truth.”
Truth?
Gu Zhou was very sincere with her!
Qiao Nian’s breathing tightened and she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this matter couldn’t be hidden any longer.
