CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146: DESTROYED TOGETHER

Actually, Gu Ningyue couldn’t quite figure it out.

Why did Ji Zhiye use the long line strategy with Shen Hanyin, but suddenly change tactics with Chi Xingtong?

She had never asked Chi Xingtong about this matter.

There are two possibilities: one is that Chi Xingtong knows how to deal with people like Ji Zhiye, better than him. The other is that Chi Xingtong is Ji Zhiye’s type, so he fell for her and wants to be with her.

If it’s the second, then the hurt Shen Hanyin is feeling might be even deeper.

Shen Hanyin looked at Gu Ningyue’s familiar face, feeling more lost than ever.

"Ning Yue, I don’t want to hide from you, I still like Ji Zhiye."

"Every time I think about our time together, my heart still aches faintly."

"He was really good to me before, truly."

Gu Ningyue listened quietly, then sighed after a while and said, "Bear with it! Some people are like abysses, if you fall in, you can never get out. No matter how good he is to you, it’s not because he likes you. If you think about it like that, perhaps it won’t hurt so much."

Even if it hurts, don’t go through old memories with Ji Zhiye again.

Shen Hanyin nodded, "I never thought I’d come to like someone like him."

Gu Ningyue reached out to hold her hand, "You’ll experience it, I’ve been through it, what are you afraid of? You’re smarter and more rational than me, once you get through this, things will get better."

The original romantic notions had disappointed Shen Hanyin countless times, yet she still tried to awaken it.

Now this kindness, let me repay it myself.

Perhaps because Gu Ningyue’s hand was too warm, Shen Hanyin’s gaze softened.

She stayed with Shen Hanyin outside for an unknown amount of time, and when she returned to the Gu Family, it was already close to eleven o’clock.

Gu Zheng was probably already asleep, with only one servant seemingly still waiting for her: "Miss, you’ve returned."

Compared to the previous cold attitude, the servant’s words were now very polite.

"Mm." Gu Ningyue casually responded and headed upstairs.

As soon as she reached upstairs, Gu Wanwan’s room door suddenly opened, bright light streaming out from inside.

A girl in a white sleep robe walked out. Without the daytime’s exquisite makeup, her skin looked almost paper white.

"Can I talk to you?" Gu Wanwan looked at her, her tone flat.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gu Ningyue was a bit puzzled, what was Gu Wanwan up to? Talking to her so calmly.

Gu Wanwan said indifferently, "Just want to chat, don’t be nervous, I’ve already gotten what I want, I won’t do anything to you!"

Gu Ningyue sneered in her heart, got what you wanted?

Sooner or later, you’ll desperately want to throw away this hot potato that is Ye Mingchen.

"Alright." Gu Ningyue turned and opened the door, "Let’s talk in my room! After we’re done, I’m going to sleep."

Gu Wanwan didn’t hesitate and followed Gu Ningyue into her bedroom.

Closing the door, Gu Ningyue changed into a nightgown, unlike Gu Wanwan’s all-white attire, Gu Ningyue’s nightgown was a lovely wine red.

If it weren’t for the bandages on her hand, she’d probably look very alluring right now.

"I won’t pour you water." Gu Ningyue sat on the bed, looking at Gu Wanwan, "Say whatever you want!"

Gu Wanwan studied Gu Ningyue’s expression. This woman had changed more than just a little.

If she were with Ling Tianyou, would she too undergo a transformation like Gu Ningyue?

This thought suddenly startled Gu Wanwan.

She was already the Young Madam of the Ye Family, soon to register the marriage with Ye Mingchen in two days.

To her, this was probably the pinnacle of her life.

She understood this very well.

But the more she understood, the stronger her dissatisfaction grew inside.

Why does Gu Ningyue get to be with Master Ling despite having embarrassed herself so much and merely being a mental patient?

Not only had she become Ling Tianyou’s fiancée, but she was also cherished by him.

Thinking of this, Gu Wanwan’s tone carried a hint of gritting teeth: "I’m going to register the marriage with Mingchen on Wednesday, and Dad is already aware of this. I think it’s still necessary to tell you. Although you had a relationship with Mingchen before, now we are at this stage, I hope..."

Before she could finish, Gu Ningyue interrupted her: "I don’t have any thoughts about Ye Mingchen now, don’t worry, I didn’t ruin your engagement party, and I won’t disrupt your registration day either. Not just the registration day, I also won’t cause trouble at your wedding! I have no interest."

Gu Wanwan really thought Ye Mingchen was some good catch, the original had liked him so much, treated him so well, yet he still sent her to her grave with a single poison.

If one day Gu Wanwan blocks Ye Mingchen’s path, her outcome will definitely not be better than the original owner’s.

She probably hasn’t realized this yet.

Nor has she ever thought about it.

"If that’s the case, then that’s best." Gu Wanwan’s expression turned a bit strange, "How long do you plan to stay at home?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Why? Am I supposed to set a time for staying at my own home? Obviously, I’ll leave when I feel like it."

This Gu family’s Miss is her, Gu Ningyue, when did it become Gu Wanwan’s turn, a bastard child, to issue a guest order?

Gu Wanwan held back while looking at Gu Ningyue: "I just asked casually, stay as long as you like. Once I get the certificate, it won’t be long before I move out. You’re free!"

Gu Ningyue’s gaze shifted to Gu Wanwan’s abdomen, seemingly understanding her intentions: "Then I wish you ahead of time! Wishing you and Ye Mingchen, enduring like heaven and earth, never separating!"

For some reason, Gu Ningyue’s blessing sent a chill down her spine, covered her in goosebumps.

Gu Wanwan seemed to be infuriated, but the anger had no outlet when looking at Gu Ningyue’s calm face.

Gu Heng’s face flashed in her mind, and Gu Wanwan seemed to find a breakthrough and suddenly asked, "Gu Ningyue, was it you who hurt Xiao Heng?"

Gu Ningyue said, "Didn’t the police already go? You should trust our police. If there’s nothing else, please leave! I want to sleep now!"

Gu Wanwan was left awkward and didn’t want to stay here, continuing to face Gu Ningyue.

She got up and left Gu Ningyue’s room, and Gu Ningyue watched her back, a trace of indescribable emotion passing through her eyes.

Some people are like this, exhaust themselves to obtain something, thinking they’ve found a treasure.

But what they don’t know is, what they see as treasure is just what others regard as worthless.

Others could easily destroy it along with her.
