Chapter 719: 719 Have you ever hated her?_1
It was clear that he intended to bare his heart to her tonight.
Eleven feigned ignorance and laughed awkwardly, "What... it’s just a story about an ex-girlfriend. You’re making it sound like it’s so epic legend. You have an ex-girlfriend, and I have an ex-boyfriend. What’s the big deal?"
Despite the playful atmosphere at the mont, she knew that the mont he started talking about it, the mood would beco more somber.
At this point, she was acting superbly, and Gu Liancheng really thought she hadn’t a clue. He chuckled and affectionately patted her head, laughing, "Yes, you did have an ex-boyfriend. You are quite impressive."
Seeing his cheeky expression, Eleven burst out laughing. Gu Liancheng continued, "Because of your ex-boyfriend’s existence, I was constantly on guard, afraid he would suddenly act to reignite your old feelings, and steal my hard-won wife."
Eleven looked up at him and said, "Why would you want a wife who can be stolen so easily?"
Gu Liancheng responded with a remark that was as annoyingly saccharine as ever: "To treasure her!"
"Eh...." Eleven shivered unexpectedly, "That’s so cheesy!"
Even so, they both looked at each other and laughed.
Who cares about being cheesy? They were just a normal couple in love, their sweetness inconveniencing no one. At most, it might deal a ten-thousand-point critical hit to the singles out there.
A housemaid was tidying up Gu Liancheng’s study when they walked in. She paused in suprise, "Sir, you’re back so late? Are you hungry? Do you want
to fix you sothing?"
"No need, you can go to bed now."
"Alright!"
She saw the two were about to enter the study. Even though she didn’t quite understand why they would go to the study at this late hour, she didn’t question it. She promptly left the room, closing the door behind her out of habit.
Standing here in the study, Eleven’s suspicions were confird—she knew exactly what he wanted to talk about.
They moved to the balcony of the study, and she sat in his lap in the egg-shaped chair. His forehead rested against her shoulder as he began to talk about his past with Wen Qianxi.
The story was almost exactly the sa as what Jin Xiangnan and Wen Qianxi had told her. But hearing it from his perspective brought new depth to it: It made her feel more tender towards him, more helpless. A few tis, she couldn’t hold back her tears. She gently hugged his neck, offering mutual consolation.
As he began talking about his childhood, he didn’t look up at her, but held her and asked instead, "So now, knowing all this, do you feel like running away? Knowing that even as a child, my hands were stained with blood?"
Eleven shook her head resolutely, "No... my dear, I’m glad you’re not the person you once were. You’ve beco so strong, no one can bully you anymore."
"Who said no one can? Danger lurks at every corner. One misstep and we could tumble down a cliff. Take Gu Tianyu, for example. Keep your distance from him in the future. If you owe him any favors, I’ll repay them."
"Mmm..." Eleven held him tight, thinking, "If only I had Fei’er’s skills. That way, I’d always stand by your side to strengthen you."
"Hey," Gu Liancheng pinched her nose, chuckling, "So if you don’t have Ye Fei’s skills, you won’t stand by my side?"
"I will, I will."
The two of them laughed again.
When he started talking about how he first t Wen Qianxi, his tone was more nonchalant.
"Have you ever hated her?" Eleven asked.
