The country of D was in the midst of sumr, with flowers blanketing the hills and fields, making the nation seem like a fairy-tale world.
Bai Yaxuan and Gu Xiaoxi received a grand reception, and as they went through the process, her image had already appeared on various major dia outlets and news broadcasts.
Although she and Bai Yaxuan had no emotional foundation, their togetherness, coupled with him being especially considerate and caring towards her, convinced everyone that they were a talented young man and a beautiful young woman, deeply in love with each other.
After a day of busyness, it finally beca night, and the local hosts in the country of D had prepared only one room for them.
Luckily, the room was large, and Gu Xiaoxi took the initiative to offer the bed, saying to Bai Yaxuan, "I’ll sleep on the sofa!"
"It wouldn’t look good if people saw that. Sleep next to ," Bai Yaxuan replied, and seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s furrowed brows, he quickly assured her, "I said I won’t touch you, so I won’t do anything."
Besides, if he wanted to do sothing, even if she slept on the sofa, she wouldn’t be able to resist.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t quite believe him, since it had been a long ti since they had slept together. Even if it was one bed, two quilts, she didn’t mind being close to him.
She was afraid he would beco impulsive again!
"I’ll still sleep on the floor!" Gu Xiaoxi took half a quilt to spread and half to cover herself, placing it on the clean floor.
Just as she had finished laying it out, a pair of strong hands directly picked up the quilt.
Bai Yaxuan threw the quilt back onto the bed, expressionless, "How would people talk if they saw this? Gu Xiaoxi, even if you’re just pretending, can you at least act the part?"
Gu Xiaoxi clenched her teeth, suddenly feeling fiery inside, "Who wants to pretend with you? We have nothing between us. If it weren’t for you taking the divorce agreent, we should have no relationship by now."
"..." Hearing her words, Bai Yaxuan’s footsteps halted, and he turned back to look at her, his gaze growing colder.
He didn’t want to get angry, nor did he want to hurt her.
He had said that he would give her ti, if one year wasn’t enough, then he was willing to wait even more years.
But every ti she wanted to break ties with him, he couldn’t help but feel rage in his heart.
Gu Xiaoxi glared back at him defiantly, and even though the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe, she couldn’t always show weakness as ti went by.
Bai Yaxuan would then think she was easy to bully.
"Don’t say such things again in the future, I don’t like to hear them," Bai Yaxuan said as he dropped the quilt onto the bed, beginning to undress to get ready for bed, still holding back the anger in his heart.
"I’m not your anything, why should I say what you like to hear?" Gu Xiaoxi strode to the bedside, picked up the divided quilts she had just put on the bed, and held them again.
Anyway, she wouldn’t share a bed with him, even if it was just for sleeping.
Her cold and stubborn deanor made his gaze turn even colder. "Gu Xiaoxi, I command you to put down the quilt and lie down to sleep!"
After all, this was on soone else’s turf, and if anything were to happen, it wouldn’t just affect his reputation, but also the honor of their nation.
"Why should I listen to your commands? Did I sell myself to you?" Gu Xiaoxi paid him no mind. As she turned around, she was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder.
It hurt, he seed to be using a lot of strength, and she felt like the bones in her shoulder were about to be crushed.
Then, with a strong push, she was shoved onto the bed.
Gu Xiaoxi felt as though she had sunk into a quagmire, that feeling of being controlled by soone else returned.
"You always resort to this to deal with ! It’s just despicable and shaless. If I had known you would treat this way, I would never have believed your talk of reconciliation. I will never believe you again."
At this mont, she was truly disappointed. Ti and again deceived by his pure and proud figure, ti and again she believed in him, yet he never changed...
