Chapter 2621 Use the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Li family to stay
The sudden sound in the room startled Gu Zichen.
He turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow walking out of the darkness behind him.
As the figure gets closer, the shadow under the light gradually becomes clearly visible.
"Qiaoqiao? Why are you here?"
After discovering Qiao Qiao in his room, Gu Zichen noticed that the decoration in the room seemed to have been changed.
There is an extra dressing mirror in the room, as well as many women's products, many cute dolls as decorations, and pink curtains...
"What exactly is going on?"
Qiaoqiao sat calmly on the sofa in the large independent bedroom, and then said slowly: "Auntie took all my things to your room, and also said, let us live together in the future."
"Nonsense."
His face darkened, how could this be possible?
She shook her head helplessly: "You can't change Auntie's mind. Auntie is too worried about you, so she did this. I can understand it."
"What do you understand? A man and a woman living alone in the same room. If this gets spread, I won't care, but what will you do?"
Gu Zichen seemed to be thinking more long-term, "You are from a girl's family, which will definitely have an impact on your reputation. How can you follow my mother and cause mischief?"
"I'm not messing around."
Qiaoqiao's hands were gently grasped together. She was much less playful and lively than usual. She looked worried, as if this woman had grown up in an instant.
"Uncle, auntie told me something today, and I agreed."
For a moment, he had a bad premonition: "What did my mother say to you?"
"Auntie said, let me be the daughter-in-law of the Li family."
She didn't hide anything from him, but told him everything honestly.
Gu Zichen was suddenly stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Daughter-in-law of the Li family...you agreed? Aren't you just fooling around?"
Qiaoqiao stood up, walked to his side, and grabbed the corner of his clothes with a pitiful look.
"Uncle, I really didn't mess around."
Her little hands were holding on to the corners of her clothes, holding on tighter and tighter. She looked even more pitiful, which made people feel particularly distressed.
Her eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes from time to time.
"Uncle, don't drive me away, don't tell auntie that you don't want me. If you reject me and drive me away, I won't have time."
As she spoke, tears burst from her eyes.
Gu Zichen seemed to have heard that there was something else in her words, so he asked patiently.
"No time for what? What's going on?"
Qiaoqiao sniffed and then told the whole story: "Uncle, the reason I escaped from the very beginning was because my brother wanted to arrange a marriage for me. He wanted me to marry someone I didn't even know for the sake of the country.
.”
"I don't even know who that person is, how old he is, or what he looks like. I don't know anything at all. I just know that he is a man, the man chosen by my brother. I don't want to get married in such a confused way."
"I didn't want to be like my mother, so I ran away. I ran to this strange place and found you. Because I remembered that you were my brother's friend."
Gu Zichen was a little surprised. What he didn't expect was that Qiao Qiao escaped with the marriage.
"Why did you come to me? Aren't you afraid that I will send you back to your brother?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "I'm not afraid, because I know you are not such a person, uncle. You just look cold on the outside, you are not really indifferent."
"Then what? Why do you have to stay now?"
He continued to ask.
She hesitated for a while, then continued to answer: "Because I have no choice, I wasted here for two years. My brother said, give me the last three months, if after three months, I haven't caught up
If you say so, he will personally send someone to take me back."
"Uncle, if I am taken back, I will definitely be arranged to get married. The last time I escaped was a fluke, but this time, I will definitely not be able to escape."
Qiao Qiao pitifully grabbed Gu Zichen's sleeve and shook it gently: "Uncle, I don't want this either. I know you don't like me. You don't want to marry me, let alone live with me."
"But in order to stay and refuse the fate of marriage, I had no choice but to agree to auntie. I agreed to auntie to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family."
She quickly said: "But uncle, don't worry, I won't have any thoughts about you. I won't force you to marry me. I just want to stay here, that's all."
She doesn't have to be with Gu Zichen, there is no wedding, as long as she stays.
Looking at Qiao Qiao, who wanted nothing but to stay, the part of Gu Zichen's heart seemed to soften.
"I see."
A simple "I understand" answered everything she had said before.
Qiaoqiao followed him nervously: "Uncle, what kind of answer do I know?"
Gu Zichen took out a book from the coffee table, put it in his hand and read it: "Since you don't want to go back to get married, then stay. Stay as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but remember, between us
There will be no relationship and I will not marry you."
"This is just a shield you left behind."
What he meant was, I can help you stay. It doesn't matter if you want to use your status as the daughter-in-law of the Li family to stay.
But don't have any thoughts about him, he will not marry her or have any relationship with her.
This alone makes Qiao Qiao very satisfied.
"Uncle, thank you, you are indeed a good person."
After saying that, Qiao Qiao wiped away the tears on her face and sat on the sofa carelessly.
"Uncle, I'll sleep on the sofa, and you go and sleep on the bed."
Gu Zichen lowered his beautiful eyes, and the long eyelashes drooped down clearly, as if they were dyed with layers of halo, which was very beautiful.
"No, I'll sleep on the sofa."
Looking at Gu Zichen, who is extremely good-looking and has not aged even in his forties, but still looks as mature as in his twenties and thirties, Qiao Qiao is also a little distracted.
What sounded in my mind again was the news that Leng An'an had passed away.
Should she tell her uncle? Or hide it?
This choice was too difficult and painful for her.
Because she couldn't make a choice at all.
She sat aside, drinking tea intentionally or unintentionally, testing his.
"Uncle, what do you think of Leng An'an now? Do you still plan to persist? Or are you ready to put aside the twenty years of waiting and feelings and start a new life?"
