Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 26 When are you going home with me?

Gu Lingqian slightly raised his sword-like eyebrows, but did not speak.

He is a good person? Hah...

"So, what you mean now is, you do not intend to marry me?"

He asked, his tone flat and emotionless, making it impossible to discern what he was really feeling.

Xia Yinian was slightly stunned. Why did that sound somewhat reluctant?

"Is it not the case that Young Master Ling asked to see me today to discuss calling off the engagement?"

"Of course not." He took a sip of his tea and then placed the cup down, looking at her earnestly. "I came to ask you, when will you come back to the Gu Family with me?"

"Return... to the Gu Family?" Was there some mistake? He had personally witnessed her returning disheveled last night.

Though she said she could prove her innocence to him, can a man really trust a woman so easily?

"Hold on!" Xia Yinian rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, feeling somewhat weary. "Can you first tell me why you are insistent on marrying me?"

"No, I’m just asking when Lady Xia will come home with me."

"..." Xia Yinian didn’t understand at first, but then it suddenly dawned on her.

"Do you mean that I am just going back with you, but not to marry you?"

"I enjoy talking to smart women." He smiled faintly. Although, given her age, she could only really be called a girl.

Such a handsome man, when he smiles, it really gives a refreshing feeling.

Even Xia Yinian, who was usually immune to handsome men, couldn’t help but take another look at the smile at the corner of his lips.

Why did it feel so familiar? Had she seen him before?

Or had she seen someone who looked similar to him? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Xia Yinian tapped her head, still not understanding: "Why?"

"Grandma Gu is getting on in years and her health is not great. She hopes to see me settled down during her lifetime."

Xia Yinian was stunned, not expecting that the man before her was such a filial grandson.

She always had a soft spot for filial people, but...

"So you want me to return as your girlfriend?" She shook her head, "That won’t do, I still need to study and take care of many things..."

"The surgery for Xiao Lian from the orphanage, I can pay for it, and I will also make a donation to the orphanage."

Gu Lingqian had already investigated her circumstances thoroughly. "With your salary at Chaoxing, it’s not possible to gather enough for Xiao Lian’s surgery."

"You investigated me?" Xia Yinian was a bit upset, it felt like she was stripped bare... standing in front of him.

Gu Lingqian smiled faintly: "It’s not unreasonable for me to do some investigation on a girl I’m bringing home."

"Grandma Gu just wants to see me settled, actually, there are likely many girls willing to pretend to be your girlfriend."

She still shook her head, she wasn’t capable of such a thing.

When the time came to meet his Grandma, she would definitely slip up.

Plus, she didn’t want to leave this place. She still wanted to visit the orphanage from time to time.

Once she entered the Gu Family, there would certainly be many considerations and it wouldn’t be as carefree as before.

Gu Lingqian didn’t seem to make things difficult; he simply stated lightly: "I will stay at the Xia Family for another two days, if Lady Xia has thought it through, she can come to find me."

"As for now, I am not accepting refusals."

He stood up and left.

Not accepting refusals... How can such a domineering statement not match his gentle and scholarly appearance?

She had a feeling that this man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Xia Yinian was also about to go back to her room when unexpectedly, Taotao came to visit.

"This is your purse, your phone."

Taotao brought the items all together and added: "There’s news from the hospital, Xiao Lian’s condition has worsened."
