Chapter 121: So Shameless
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Upon seeing Qitian Yu’s gaze, Gu Qingluan’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Qitian Yu snapped back to his senses and, in an attempt to salvage his image, wore a self-a.s.sured smile. “Qingluan, it’s been a while. You look even more beautiful than before. This prince almost didn’t recognize you.”
Gu Qingluan responded coldly, “I am not acquainted with the Fifth Prince. Please address me as Gu Qingluan or Miss Gu.”
Rather than getting angry, Qitian Yu felt a surge of warmth in his chest, and his gaze towards Gu Qingluan became intensely pa.s.sionate.
Originally, he made this visit to establish a good relations.h.i.+p with the Gu family and explore the possibility of forming an alliance with the Island of No Return
Now, he thought that perhaps something could happen between him and Gu Qingluan.
If Gu Qingluan knew what he was thinking at this moment, she probably wouldn’t even listen to a word he said and would simply throw him out.
…..
Gu Qingluan disliked Qitian Yu’s gaze but didn’t reveal it. She took a seat at the head of the table and spoke with a cold voice, “Why have the two of you come here?”
“Qingluan, since you are friends with Mr. Liu, why don’t you ask him for a favor to save the Grand Madam?” Gu Zhixin demanded imperiously.
Gu Qingluan chuckled lightly. “Save her? Why should I save her?”
Gu Zhixin frowned. “She is your mother. Are you going to stand by and watch her die?”
“She is Gu Lingxue’s mother, not mine. My mother lies buried underground!”
“Although she is not your birth mother, she is your stepmother, the woman who is considered your mother. No one can deny this fact.”
“Second Master Gu, it seems you have misunderstood something.” Gu Qingluan coldly smiled. “I don’t even acknowledge Gu Zhicheng. How could I bother with a woman who rose to a higher position as a concubine?”
“You…”
“Qingluan, how can you speak ill of your elders like this?” Qitian Yu looked at her incredulously. “You used to be so kind and respectful to your elders. You would never criticize others in such a way.”
Gu Qingluan was almost nauseated by his words.
“If the Fifth Prince doesn’t want to listen, feel free to leave.”
Qitian Yu’s breath hitched at her words.
In the past, every time Gu Qingluan saw him, her eyes were filled with affection. Even when he came to annul the engagement, she never harbored resentment towards him and never spoke to him in such a tone.
Qitian Yu felt a sense of discomfort.
Although he used to dislike the way Gu Qingluan looked at him and how she always pursued him, he only felt annoyance and disdain in his heart back then.
But now that Gu Qingluan no longer looked at him with that loving gaze, he felt unsettled.
How could she change her feelings like this?
No, she must have endured a lot of hards.h.i.+p and felt upset over the years, which led her to speak in this way out of resentment.
Qitian Yu found a reasonable excuse for her change and looked at her with a hint of pity. “Qingluan, I know it hasn’t been easy for you all these years. The Gu family head was impulsive when he drove you out back then, but he later regretted it and sent people to look for you, but there was no news of you.”
He paused for a moment, looking at her affectionately, and sighed, “It’s not just the Gu family head. Over the years, I have also blamed myself for my impulsive actions back then and had people searching for your whereabouts. Qingluan, we understand that you have grievances, and it’s understandable for you to vent them out. But please don’t act on impulse. After all, the reason we were so angry back then was because of what you did. Anyone in our position would have reacted the same way… The head of the Gu family has reached the Saint Stage, with an elevated status. As the legitimate daughter of the head of the Gu family, you can also enjoy unparalleled glory. You should go back to the Gu family, and let bygones be bygones. You are intelligent, and you should know how to choose what’s best for you.”
Gu Qingluan held a cup of hot tea in her hands and listened quietly to his words.
She wanted to see how shameless this man could be.
Ha!
It truly disgusted her!
