Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 42 Pretending

Xia Yinian suddenly looked up, to be faced with none other than the suave and elegant Young Master Ling, Gu Lingqian.

What had he told her before? A contractual girlfriend...

"Is it just that I need to go back with you and pretend to be your girlfriend? I don’t want to have any relations with you!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Xia Yinian was truly frightened by Gu Beicheng, and now, she felt a resistance toward any man.

A flicker of surprise crossed the depths of Gu Lingqian’s eyes, and after a moment, his thin lips slightly raised in a light smile.

"Unless, Lady Xia takes the initiative to climb into my bed."

Xia Yinian’s face turned red at his comment, and she quickly took a step back, distancing herself from him: "I won’t!"

"That’s good, because I don’t wish to suddenly find another person in my bed."

Gu Lingqian was still Gu Lingqian, no matter what he talked about, he always maintained an elegant presence.

He looked truly genteel and noble, nothing like that bastard Gu Beicheng.

Although, there seemed to be a resemblance between their brows, Xia Yinian thought it was because both men were handsome.

All handsome men look alike, right?

She was not in the mood to ponder this question. Facing Gu Lingqian’s gaze, she spoke again: "Xiao Lian’s surgery expenses..."

"Not just the surgery expenses, I will take full responsibility for her medical costs for the upcoming year."

Gu Lingqian’s brows still held a faint smile, light and gentle, as if a spring breeze had brushed through the heart of those who saw it.

Yet, Xia Yinian always felt that this man couldn’t be as simple as he appeared on the surface!

"The conditions? Just to go back with you and pretend to be your girlfriend?"

"Of course. For the coming year, you can’t date anyone, and you can’t let my family see through the facade of our relationship."

"What if they do see through it?" Sometimes these things weren’t under her own control.

What if it was because her acting wasn’t good enough and they saw through it... would he expect her to compensate him all the money?

Paying money might still be manageable, at least let Xiao Lian undergo the surgery successfully for now.

She feared that it wasn’t going to be as simple as just paying money.

Indeed, Gu Lingqian said indifferently: "If they see through it, then... marry me and bear me a child."

"What?" Xia Yinian was startled! She knew that Gu Lingqian would not be so easygoing.

Gu Lingqian found nothing wrong with his condition: "The only way to set their minds at ease is this, isn’t it?"

Xia Yinian didn’t speak, only bit her lip in distress.

Indeed, if they really see through it, just by marrying him and having a child, everything would become reality.

After all, both parties of the transaction had to protect their interests, Gu Lingqian couldn’t just let her act carelessly and be exposed, could he?

He needed to secure a guarantee for himself...

But this, this was too risky!

And what if Gu Lingqian really wanted to marry her and intentionally let his family see through their fake relationship?

"Do you think, what is there about you that would make me orchestrate all of this, just to marry you?"

Gu Lingqian’s smile remained light, as if the wind was light and the clouds were calm.

Xia Yinian’s face flushed red from his words, feeling rather uncomfortable.

However, what he said was the truth, her own status was worlds apart from his.

"What if... they see through me, and... and I don’t want to marry you..."

Gu Lingqian’s expression darkened, his voice turning icy in an instant: "Then, let everyone at Yong’an Orphanage be buried along with the ruined agreement!"
