《Limited to Pampering in Marriage: Report to Captain, I’m Pregnant.》 Chapter 1 - Even The Dogs Are More Skillful Than You Gu Nanyu counted sheep, hoping that she would fall asleep soon. However, the person atop her obviously did not want her to doze off, and neither was he pleased with her zoning out. Although he was not very forceful, Gu Nanyu furrowed her brows in annoyance. ¡°Fu Beichen, are you born in the year of the dog?¡± The man lifted his head. Illuminated by the dim lamplight, his dark eyes looked like a bottomless abyss. One look of them would send shivers down the spine. He had sharp and narrow eyes that were irresistibly charming. They exuded an overwhelming and domineering aura. Overtaken and clouded by lust, the impassive look in his eyes subsided. ¡°If I am a dog, then what are you under this circumstance?¡± His voice was hoarse, and was laced with a cold undertone. Motherf*cker¡­ He had insulted Gu Nanyu in a veiled way. However, she did not shy away from the argument. ¡°Even dogs are more skillful than you.¡± Nevertheless, the only response she got was Fu Beichen¡¯s endless lustful assault on her body. He finally stopped when dawn broke. Gu Nanyu barely had any strength left in her. ¡°Aren¡¯t my skills great?¡± His slightly hoarse yet magnetic voice queried. It was as smooth as notes from a cello. Great your a*s! Gu Nanyu did not even have the energy to speak anymore. She cursed him under her breath before finally falling into a deep slumber. In another two months, there would be a military parade at the military district. Then, Fu Beichen would probably not have time to torture her anymore. She too would be busy then. The movie she was filming had entered the final month. After the filming was done, she wanted to have a good rest. Time flew by especially fast on days without Fu Beichen. One month had passed in a flash. After they wrapped the movie, they were now on a promotional tour. Throughout the press conference, Gu Nanyu wore an elegant smile. Unexpectedly, her pleasant facade was utterly shattered by a paper in a reporter''s hand. ¡°Miss Gu, this is a newspaper from 10 years ago. You should be familiar with the person mentioned here.¡± The reporter''s words were like poison. Gu Nanyu felt as if she was plummeting down a bottomless abyss. The newspaper pictured a young girl in a prisoner''s uniform. Her complexion was pale as if she was drained of all energy. The attention-grabbing headline read, ¡°Long-term sexual abuse causes underage girl with psychological issues to kill two people.¡± Fu Beichen saved her out of prison that year. He silenced and diverted all the public scrutiny away and covered that incident up. However, the incident was once again brought into the limelight now¡­. Gu Nanyu still remembered that day vividly. Her father had raised her as a boy since she was young. To frame her and chase her out of the house, her Second Uncle¡¯s son attempted to destroy her reputation by colluding with a gay at a party. In a panic, she killed the man by accident. After she fled from the scene, someone in the hotel¡­. Her worst nightmare happened that day.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. To this day, she still had no idea who the man was. After that, she returned home, bruised and exhausted, only to find her beloved twin sister hurt by her beastly uncle, Gu Xiang''an. The knife in her sister¡¯s hand, her uncle lying in a pool of blood, and one year of life in prison¡­. Gu Nanyu fainted as her mind was assaulted by memories of the past. When she woke up, she found herself in a hospital. ¡°Sister, you should quit the entertainment industry.¡± Her sister, Gu Dongxue, was by her bedside. She stared at her with a pair of sorrowful eyes. Gu Nanyu did not answer. She felt beyond fatigued. She used to be the eldest son of the Gu family. Everybody constantly reminded her to work hard because she had to shoulder the burden of caring for her whole family. Back then, she thought it was hard to be a man. Only after she was released from jail to rejoin the society as a girl, she realized that the world was even harsher to women. Gu Dongxue¡¯s grip around her hands tightened. ¡°Sister, you are one month pregnant.¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s eyes widened upon hearing Dongxue¡¯s words. Her tears welled up in her dark eyes. ¡°Dongxue, please arrange an operation for me.¡± Only one thought came to Gu Nanyu¡¯s mind. I cannot keep this child. I cannot give birth to a b*stard. Fu Beichen would not marry her.. Gu Dongxue was the youngest doctor in the hospital. After winning an international award, she was assigned to an important position right after her return from abroad. There were only Gu Dongxue and Gu Nanyu in the operating theatre. Gu Dongxue held Gu Nanyu¡¯s hand to comfort her as the liquid gradually dripped into her body. As the anesthesia took effect, Gu Nanyu could feel that her thoughts were getting muddled. Right then, Gu Dongxue¡¯s soft voice floated to her ears. ¡°Sister, do you know? As a doctor, I have never made any mistake. A scalpel can save lives, but conversely, it can also take a life away. It all depends on the person who is wielding it.¡± Gu Dongxue¡¯s voice was tinged with coldness. Her tone was devoid of emotion although she was talking to her sister. Eyebrows knitted together, Gu Nanyu attempted to move, but found herself unable to budge even an inch. ¡°You are the only sister I have in this world, but you shouldn¡¯t have appeared in front of Fu Beichen! He was a military instructor when I was in college. Ever since then, I''ve always liked him. However, after I returned from abroad to enter the military hospital, you became his lover.¡± Gu Nanyu was dumbfounded. Gu Dongxue now felt like a stranger to her. It was as though she had never known her at all. Does she want to murder me because of a man? ¡°I have to do this to get him. You and Fu Beichen have never used contraception. However, you''re afraid that you''ll get pregnant and you have been taking contraceptive pills. Finally, you finished your pills, and as your sister and a doctor, I brought you some contraceptive pills. Little did you know that those pills I got you were just normal vitamin tablets. And as expected, you¡¯re pregnant now.¡± Gu Dongxue began to laugh as she talked. Her voice was laced with a sinister undertone. ¡°You were shocked and desperately wanted to run away from Fu Beichen. There is no way you would want to bear his child, and if you want to abort the child, you will turn to me ¡ª your biological sister ¡ª to operate for you.¡± Gu Nanyu felt a chill down her spine as her sister spoke. ¡°Everybody knows that I¡¯m your beloved sister. I turned down my chance to represent our hospital in an overseas conference just to perform this surgery on you. I am the surgeon in charge, and it''s easy for me to make you lose some extra blood. Nobody will suspect me and they will only think of it as an unfortunate accident. Moreover, nobody will be suspicious as I will also skillfully achieve hemostasis for you.¡± Gu Dongxue laughed gleefully. Gu Nanyu¡¯s heart sank and her blood ran cold. ¡°Oh, by the way, I¡¯ve already prepared some blood packs for you. However, they''re labeled with the wrong blood type. Your blood will coagulate due to the incompatibility. Whether the transfusion is stopped or continued, you will die either way. I am only responsible for the surgery and nothing more than that. Tell me, isn¡¯t this a perfect plan?¡± Die? Gu Nanyu could not react when the words registered in her mind. ¡°Sister, learn to be smarter in your next life. Fight for your chance, or create one by any means necessary if you don¡¯t have it. I was the one who kept that newspaper and contacted the reporter. Your reputation is ruined now. Fu Beichen will not miss a nasty woman like you even after your death.¡± Gu Dongxue¡¯s voice was soft like a spring breeze. At this moment, Gu Dongxue reached out to yank the necklace off Gu Nanyu¡¯s neck. ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you that we¡¯re not children of Gu family¡¯s. I found our biological father. He came from a family as powerful as the Fu family. I will reunite with our father and live a good life to make up for all the suffering I have gone through for the past 20 years. This necklace given to you by our mother is the only evidence to prove my relationship with our father. Remember to thank our mother on my behalf for giving me such a powerful father when you arrive in the netherworld.¡± Gu Nanyu could not fight it any longer, and finally submitted to the darkness that claimed her life. She wanted to bite the tip of her tongue to stay awake, but she did not have the energy to do so. For a man¡­ She did this for a man! The beloved sister whom she adored wanted to take her life! What happened to the sweetheart who would trail behind her and call her sister? We used to depend on each other. Where has my beloved younger sister gone? Tears glimmered at the corners of Gu Nanyu¡¯s eyes. The tears were not a result of fear. Instead, they stemmed from regret. She did not fear death. Instead, she found this cold unfeeling world more terrifying than death. If I can''t even trust someone who is of the same blood, then God, please tell me, is there still any warmth left in this world? Her plea to God went unanswered. Her only reply was the endless darkness. Deep and unending, like an infinite chasm¡­ === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 2 - You’d Better Cooperate It was 9 p.m. in Beijing. It was when the people started their late-night revels. Bang! The door of the hotel''s presidential suite was flung open. A teenager dressed in white t-shirt and jeans bolted out of the room. Behind her was a middle-aged man who was writhing on the ground, howling in agony. ¡°Quick! Catch that rogue!¡± You''re the rogue. Your entire family is disgusting! Gu Nanyu felt as if her heart was going to leap out of her chest. She could only run for her life! God probably found pleasure in screwing up her life. He surely had a sick sense of humor. She thought she would be dead after she closed her eyes. Never had she expected to return to the fateful night 10 years ago. She opened her eyes and saw a sickening fatso who was devouring her body. Looking at this familiar scene, she immediately knew what was happening. This time, she did not kill him. Instead, she kicked him in his groin. She did not care where her destiny was going to lead her. Since she had been blessed with a second life, she was going to take charge of her life regardless! She would not kill anyone or enter that room again. Besides, she would not be Gu Dongxue¡¯s scapegoat again! Owing to Gu Dongxue¡¯s selfishness and brutalness, Gu Nanyu had learned to stay unmoved. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Since the world was so harsh to women, she would conquer the world with a man¡¯s identity! Gu Nanyu was brought back to the present when she heard the people, who were pursuing her, were getting closer. Distraught, she ran down the stairs. There was a bar located on the ground floor of the hotel. Its dim lights, jarring music, and bustling crowds, made it a safe haven for her to escape to. Gu Nanyu collided with a person the moment she threaded her way into the bar. It took only a fraction of a second for her to lift her gaze. She never expected to meet this man under such circumstances in her new life. The man knitted his brows. Gu Nanyu was panic-stricken and stunned. The very next second, a strong arm was wrapped around her waist before she was pushed against the wall. His lips were hot. It was slightly hotter than how it was in her previous life. Even his breath burned as it fanned her face. It was so very different from his aloofness she remembered from her past life. ¡°Urgh¡­¡± She shoved Fu Beichen away. She wanted to turn over a new leaf in this life and it would start with drawing the line in their relationship. However¡­ Instead of the large hand, she felt something hard pressing against her waist. "You¡¯d better cooperate. Don''t make me fire the gun." Fu Beichen''s voice was as cold as ice. Gu Nanyu was startled. His arms were strong, while his voice was laced with atrocious cruelties. Gu Nanyu did not doubt that he would shoot her if she disobeyed him. She dared not move. She could only allow the man, who was burning with passion, do as he pleased. A group of foreign men, who were dressed in black suits, were close on their heels. All of a sudden, they stopped in their tracks to study their surroundings. This place was a well-known gay bar. In every shadowy corner, there were couples who were making out passionately. ¡°That kid couldn''t have run far. Keep searching the area, and don¡¯t let him get away.¡± Gun Nanyu knew that these people were speaking in English. Flustered, she stared at Fu Beichen. Are they looking for him? A fever had gripped Fu Beichen''s body. This skin he was kissing tasted like spring water. It was refreshing and sweet. Her softness could cause someone to lose themselves. The men had left. However, with the effect of the drug, Fu Beichen found himself to be unable to restrain the randy beast in him. The person in his embrace let out muffled whimpers as he bit her suggestively. Then, Fu Beichen summoned all his strength and pushed her away. ¡°Go, while I¡¯m still in my right mind!¡± === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 3 - I Will Be Top, You Will Be Bottom! It was as if he was forcing his words through his teeth. It was then Gu Nanyu noticed something was not right with Fu Beichen. Both of his eyes were bloodshot and the veins popped out on his arms, as if he was holding something back. Gu Nanyu knew it at the first glance. Fu Beichen was a person with an exceptional level of self-control. In his current state, it could only mean one problem ¡ª he was intoxicated by something nasty. Gu Nanyu dared not delay any longer. As soon as Fu Beichen turned and walked away, she looked for a place to hide. At that moment, she caught sight of the people who were closing in on her. They have surrounded the place! There was no time for Gu Nanyu to waste. She reached out to pull Fu Beichen toward herself, wrapped her hands around his neck, and planted a kiss on his lips. She saw Fu Beichen''s sharp, eagle-like eyes darkened instantly, looking like an unfathomable abyss. He is an aggressive man. He turned from prey to predator, and Gu Nanyu once again found herself cornered by him. The people, who were hot on her heels, searched the entire place, but left as they did not see the person they were looking for. Gu Nanyu heaved a sigh of relief. She pushed Fu Beichen away and wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand. "It''s a tie." After saying that, Gu Nanyu turned around, intending to leave. However, she overlooked the danger lurking in the man''s eyes. Before she knew it, she was intercepted by Fu Beichen''s lips and was carried back into the hotel she had just escaped from. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Gu Nanyu struggled helplessly to get away from him. Unfortunately, he was strong while she was scrawny. It did not take them a long time before they arrived at Fu Beichen''s room. Gu Nanyu was dumbfounded. This room¡­ She would remember the room number even if she turned into ashes! This was the room she mistakenly walked into during her previous life. The man who took advantage of her, and whom she failed to identify, was none other than Fu Beichen! Before she was able to regain her composure, Fu Beichen had already thrown her onto the bed. Noticing that Fu Beichen was about to throw himself at her, she rolled to the side and, in a panic, stared at the man who was almost hysterical. "Er¡­what''s that? I''m actually a man. You can''t be this desperate, right?" She had always dressed like a boy, walking around in her short hair, T-shirt, and jeans. Before she became Gu Dongxue¡¯s scapegoat, no one knew her true identity. At that instant, Fu Beichen''s eyes darkened immediately. She felt as if she was being stripped off by his sharp gaze, one peel after another. Dealing with Fu Beichen at this moment was extremely distressing for Gu Nanyu. Fu Beichen had no interest in men, and was obsessed with sanitation. However, Fu Beichen was incapable of reasoning right now. He was acting like a wild beast that was slowly losing its mind. Even if he were given a dog right now, he would probably devour it too. Pfft. Of all things, I compare myself to a dog. Gu Nanyu condemned herself under her breath. She had to escape before he completely lost his mind. Otherwise, she would suffer from the same fate from her previous lifetime. Gu Nanyu made a bold decision. After all, she had been ravaged for more than 800 times in her previous life. This one time would make no difference to her. Gu Nanyu swiftly took off her T-shirt, patted her chest and said, "Look here! My chest is flat! And I have a d*ck too! If you really want to continue with this, then I must insist on being the top. Meanwhile, you can be the bottom!" Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Thank God for delayed puberty which kept her flat-chested until she was in her 20s. She was 17 this year. Her chest was known as the boundless plain. Fu Beichen looked at Gu Nanyu. She had fair skin, a slender body and a perfect waistline. If it were not for the way she had regardlessly taken off her shirt, Fu Beichen would not have believed that she was a man. Instead, he would merely think of her as a girl who preferred gender-neutral clothing. Yet, on her flat chest, two reddish-black points were particularly conspicuous. No matter how flat-chested a female was, she still would not be able to strip in front of a male stranger. However, what Fu Beichen did not know was, Gu Nanyu had been used and penetrated so many times in her previous life. Despite the fact that she had been reborn, she no longer found it stressful to strip in front of him. This is the only way to convince him! Noticing that Fu Beichen was gulping, Gu Nanyu was so terrified that she dared not breathe. What if he is really desperate? It seems like I''ll have to show my trump card now. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 4 - Mine Is Bigger Than Yours ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll show it to you. My d*ck is certainly bigger than yours,¡± Gu Nanyu said, and proceeded to unbutton her jeans. ¡°Go away!¡± Although the words sounded threatening as they were forced out through his clenched teeth, they were life-saving for Gu Nanyu. She quickly grabbed her T-shirt, put it on, and fled. She ran as far away from the hotel as she could on a single breath. Then, she stopped and crouched down by the sidewalk to catch her breath. She panted heavily. From the moment she opened her eyes until now, she finally had all the pieces to the puzzle. She died on the operating table, under Gu Dongxue¡¯s scalpel. Now, she had returned to 10 years ago, the night when she lost her virginity. She did not want to kill that old man. She was no longer a murderer. Besides, she also did not lose her virginity to Fu Beichen, and even managed to escape safely. Will all these events break the curse of that fateful night in her previous life? Soon afterwards, she was reminded of Gu Dongxue, who also suffered that night. She stretched her legs and sprinted home. At that moment, it began to drizzle as raindrops splashed on her face. Gu Nanyu wiped away the water on her face. She could no longer tell if it was the rain or her tears. The night before her mother went missing, her mother told her to take care of her younger brother and sister. Gu Dongxue was indebted to her for ending her previous life during a surgery. Even though she had been reborn, Gu Nanyu was unable to find peace as hatred continued to swell in her heart. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. That beast, Gu Xiang¡¯an, coveted her mother¡¯s beauty a few years ago. She was unsure when he started to hanker for Gu Dongxue. Gu Nanyu and Gu Dongxue were twin sisters, and they bore a strong resemblance to each other. However, since she was young, Gu Nanyu¡¯s parents had told everyone that she was a boy. Thus, Gu Xiang''an only had his eyes on Gu Dongxue. Gu Xiang''an certainly deserved to die, but not now. If he died now, Gu Nanyu would not be Gu Dongxue¡¯s scapegoat again. Then, Gu Dongxue would be sent to prison. Meanwhile, she and her younger brother would definitely be chased out of the Gu family because this matter would affect the family greatly. Gu Nanyu was not afraid of being homeless, but her younger brother would not be able to handle it. Other than his young age, her younger brother was also born prematurely, which had affected his health since birth. He had autism and enjoyed the care of a dedicated psychiatrist under the roof of the Gu family. She recalled her past life when she took the blame for Gu Dongxue¡¯s crime and spent a year in prison. Eventually, it was Fu Beichen who rescued her out of that place. At the time, she could not understand why Fu Beichen saved her from prison, but now she finally figured out the reason behind his effort. Fu Beichen was the man who took her virginity that night. I guess he found me and saved me before he decided to keep me by his side. She only learned about what happened to Gu Dongxue and Gu Xize ¡ª her younger brother ¡ª when she was released from prison. Apparently, they had been chased out of the Gu family a year ago. Gu Dongxue¡¯s results in school were excellent, and her scholarship funds were sufficient to keep her in school. However, Gu Xize was only six-year-old at that time, and was sent to an orphanage. At the orphanage, Gu Xize¡¯s autism worsened as he was often bullied by the other children. After that, Gu Nanyu spent nine years with Gu Xize, but never managed to get him to speak again. Why did we have to leave? The property left by our father belongs to my younger brother. They should be kicked out of the house instead! Thinking of this, Gu Nanyu remembered the last words she heard from Gu Dongxue before she died in her previous line. She said that both of them were not children of the Gu family. In fact, Gu Nanyu had always known about this. In the beginning, when her father married her mother, her mother was already pregnant with the twins. Gu Yan¡¯an hid this from everyone and raised them as his own. Her mother was ill and was rather forgetful. Gu Nanyu only learned about this when her mother unwittingly mentioned it. As she was lost in her thought, Gu Nanyu reached for her neck to touch her necklace. Gu Dongxue said that this was the key to finding their biological father. When she felt her bare skin and realized there was nothing around her neck, Gu Nanyu was startled. The necklace is gone!! === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 5 - Selfish And Cold-Hearted Immediately, Gu Nanyu stopped in her tracks. She had no intention to search for her biological father with the necklace. She could not afford to lose it because it was the only thing her mother left for her! I must have lost it at the bar, or in Fatso and Fu Beichen¡¯s room. Gu Nanyu was stuck in a dilemma. After a brief hesitation, she continued to run toward the Gu family¡¯s house. Now, her top priority was to go home and stop Gu Dongxue from killing Gu Xiang¡¯an. When Gu Nanyu arrived at the Gu family¡¯s house, she immediately headed to Gu Dongxue¡¯s bedroom. No one was home today as the young and old of the Gu family were off to attend a birthday banquet. Before arriving on the second floor, Gu Nanyu could already hear the commotion coming from upstairs. ¡°Third Uncle, please let me go. I¡¯ll get pregnant if you do this to me!¡± Gu Dongxue could be heard sobbing. ¡°It¡¯s even better if you¡¯re pregnant. You can bear me a child!¡± Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s evil voice resounded through the room. ¡°Please, I¡¯m begging you¡­. You have already gotten me the last time. Don¡¯t hurt me anymore. Go and find my elder sister. She¡¯s still pure and clean, and she resembles my mom even more. Please let me go.¡­¡± As the voice of Gu Dongxue pierced the air, Gu Nanyu¡¯s was dumbstruck. ¡°Sister? Since when have you gotten yourself a sister?¡± Gu Xiang¡¯an asked, breathing heavily. Stolen story; please report. ¡°Gu Nanyu¡­Gu Nanyu is my elder sister. She¡¯s a girl.¡­¡± Gu Dongxue was desperate to get Gu Xiang¡¯an to let go of her. Consequently, she spilled the beans and revealed Gu Nanyu¡¯s gender. ¡°I see! Back then, my elder brother was eyeing on the family¡¯s property. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t break the good news about becoming a father! Who knew that Gu Nanyu¡¯s identity as the eldest son was a sham too!¡± How selfish can a person be? Gu Nanyu dared not imagine. She had always thought that, in her past life, her sister killed her because of Fu Beichen. However, she had never expected that her sister would tell Gu Xiang¡¯an to go after her. Gu Dongxue was still crying as Gu Xiang¡¯an went on with his actions regardless. Yet, that bit of warmth left in Gu Nanyu¡¯s heart had disappeared. Standing by the window, she saw the lewd scene going on inside. If someone were to be damned, it would be the both of them! Gu Nanyu took out her cell phone and recorded the scene. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once I¡¯ve satisfied myself with you, there¡¯s no way Gu Nanyu can run away from me!¡± As Gu Xiang¡¯an spoke, the action grew increasingly aggressive in spite of Gu Dongxue¡¯s whimpers. She continued to observe without any emotion, feeling that she could no longer sense any tenderness in her heart. Noticing that Gu Xiang¡¯an was reaching the crucial moment, Gu Nanyu kicked the door open and flung a violent kick at Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s protruding buttock. After being kicked, Gu Xiang¡¯an fell flat on Gu Dongxue. As he was at a moment of arousal when Gu Nanyu kicked him, a part of him was bent. The intense pain made Gu Xiang¡¯an yelp painfully. Then, Gu Xiang¡¯an fell onto the ground and wailed as he covered his crotch. The face of Gu Dongxue was covered in tears as she struggled to get up from the bed. She pulled the blanket and wrapped it around her trembling body. ¡°Elder sister¡­elder brother¡­.¡± Realizing she had used the wrong words, Gu Dongxue immediately corrected herself. Her entire face was covered in tears as she sobbed pitifully, ¡°Third Uncle, he¡­he took advantage of me¡­¡± If this happened in the past, Gu Nanyu would have lost it. She would even have the urge to murder Gu Xiang¡¯an after seeing her little sister being exploited. Yet, at that moment, Gu Nanyu had already discovered how selfish, cruel, and cold-hearted Gu Dongxue was. She would not fall for it again. Not everyone is born calmed and quick-witted. Instead, many times we learn through our experiences and ordeals. This realization...is harrowing. Chapter 6 - Coaxing Her To Be His Scapegoat Gu Xiang¡¯an, who had fallen to the ground, glared at Gu Nanyu. His forehead was drenched in cold sweats due to the excruciating pain. ¡°Just you wait! I¡¯m not Gu Xiang¡¯an if I can¡¯t get rid of you both! Wait till the entire Gu family finds out that you¡¯re a girl. That will be the day they kick both of you out of this house!¡± The Gu family had a strong male preference. Once the family knew that Gu Nanyu was a girl, and Gu Xize was an idiot who could not utter a single word, Gu Yan¡¯an¡¯s shares that he left behind would definitely be scavenged by the other two families. ¡°Before being kicked out of this household, I¡¯ll get rid of you first!¡± Gu Nanyu gave Gu Xiang¡¯an a hefty kick in his groin again. Next, Gu Nanyu took out her phone and played the video clip she just recorded in front of Gu Xiang¡¯an. ¡°What do you think is going to happen if I am to release this video to the media? You were raping an under-aged girl, and worse, she is your niece. How do you think others would think of you, Third Master Gu? At that moment, Gu Nanyu¡¯s short hair was a little messy. Yet, she looked rather idle and was exuding an elegant aura. She had a pair of beautiful brows and eyes. As she narrowed her eyes, a chilling glow flashed through her eyes as she subtly raised her thin lips. Even though Gu Nanyu looked identical to Gu Dongxue, both of them had completely different auras. ¡°Elder sister¡­. No, you can¡¯t let anyone know about this. Otherwise, my life will end here¡­.¡± Gu Dongxue wailed as she tried to snatch the phone from Gu Nanyu¡¯s hand. Gu Nanyu shot her a cold glance. Gu Dongxue was frozen to the spot, intimidated by Gu Nanyu¡¯s gaze.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. What¡¯s wrong with elder sister? Why is she looking at me in this manner? Why is she different from before? ¡°Enough with that arrogance! You both think you can go against me on this? No way! Even if you hand this to the media, it will be useless because the Gu family will never allow a scandal like this out in public. By then, we just need to spend some money to settle the matter,¡± Gu Xiang¡¯an said haughtily. Media dealt with people in obedience to their social standing. Therefore, as long as the Gu family was willing to offer a good price, they could pay to stop the release of any news as they wished. After all, the Gu family ran a business in the entertainment industry and was familiar with the rules of the industry. ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s smile broadened. Gu Nanyu¡¯s eyes were as black as obsidians. She looked incredibly sexy with those slanted phoenix eyes, prominent nose-bridge, and thin lips. The corners of her lips continued to curl upward, and eventually grew into a meaningful smile. There was also a hint of danger lurking in her smile. ¡°What if I submit this to the police? You raped an under-aged teenage girl. How will you be charged? I reckon that you should know.¡± At the moment, Gu Xiang¡¯an seemed to have forgotten that she was a girl. He only felt that Gu Nanyu, who was standing before him, had an indescribable grandeur around her. However, her intimidating grandeur came with a fatal charm. Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s throat tightened as his mouth turned dry. At first glance, Gu Nanyu immediately understood Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s impression of her. Suddenly, Gu Nanyu grimaced, and she flung another kick in between his legs. Seeing that he was moaning in pain, Gu Nanyu remained calm and composed as she sat on the side. ¡°You¡¯re looking for trouble!¡± Gu Xiang¡¯an wheezed in agony. ¡°Gu Xiang¡¯an, if you dare to disclose today¡¯s incident and my identity, let¡¯s wait and see who will be the first to perish.¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s dignified voice was laced with a hint of iciness. ¡°Give me that recording. I promise that I¡¯ll never disturb you two again,¡± Gu Xiang¡¯an gritted his teeth as he hissed. ¡°Do you think that I¡¯m a three-year-old?¡± Gu Nanyu looked at Gu Xiang¡¯an as if he was a retard. When Gu Xiang¡¯an realized that he failed to coax her, he gritted his teeth and threatened, ¡°Fine! If anyone knows about this video recording, you better watch your back!¡± === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 7 - You Raised Me Up, And I Will Protect You For The Rest of Your Life Gu Xiang¡¯an wanted to get back on his feet, but pain was radiating from his groin in waves of electric shocks. He could not bring himself to move at all. Gu Dongxue was shocked by Gu Nanyu¡¯s actions. Is she still the Gu Nanyu I used to know? She''s acting like a completely different person! Gu Dongxue could not put her finger on what was wrong with Gu Nanyu. However, when she looked at Gu Xiang¡¯an, she noticed the chilliness in Gu Nanyu¡¯s gaze. He has repeatedly abused me. Yet, it seems like Gu Nanyu has no intention of helping me. If he stays alive, this will forever be a stain on my life! Gu Nanyu has the video with her. If anyone sees this video, my life will be completely ruined! Gu Xiang¡¯an can''t move right now. He is a sitting duck. If I kill him now, I can easily make Gu Nanyu my scapegoat¡­. Gu Dongxue started whimpering, as if she was going through an unbearable pain. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t listen to him. He¡¯ll never keep to his word. If he tells grandfather and grandmother about your true identity, we¡¯ll be kicked out of the house!¡± Gu Nanyu slowly raised her head. Then, her gaze landed on Gu Dongxue. At that moment, Gu Dongxue looked so pure and innocent. Her big round eyes were brimming with tears and fear. She was still too naive, compared to what she was going to be in another 10 years time. It was obvious that Gu Dongxue hoped that Gu Nanyu would want to protect her true identity and kill Gu Xiang¡¯an on Gu Dongxue¡¯s behalf. On the surface, it looked like she was looking out for Gu Nanyu. However, the fluster in her eyes and the desperation on her face gave her true intentions away. This is so obvious. How can I not realize it in my previous life? It was all because she was blinded by their familial bond. However, the familial bond, which was supposedly above all, now meant nothing to Gu Dongxue. ¡°It doesn''t matter. Even if we get kicked out of the house, I¡¯m going to skin him before I leave.¡± Gu Nanyu spoke in an indifferent manner. Then, she lifted her gaze and took a side glance at Gu Dongxue. ¡°I¡¯m not going to stop you if you¡¯re really angry enough to kill him. I''m only reminding you that the police station is not a good place to stay.¡± Recalling the year she spent in prison, Gu Nanyu¡¯s gaze wavered. ¡°Sister, I am a girl. If I am sent to jail, my life will be ruined¡­.¡± Gu Dongxue wiped off her tears, ¡°If mother was still here, she would never allow this beast to bully me¡­¡± Gu Dongxue knew mentioning their mother would get Gu Nanyu to do her bidding.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. In her past life, Gu Nanyu would drop everything to protect Gu Dongxue. An elder sister is just like a mother. She ought to take care of her younger siblings. However, the year when she was imprisoned, Gu Dongxue had not spared a single shred of concern about the young and autistic Gu Xize. Instead, she went abroad under a scholarship. When she was released, Gu Xize¡¯s condition had worsened, to the extent that he would not speak a word. She had been led to believe that Gu Dongxue went abroad to study medicine to find a cure for Xize¡¯s illness. What a fool she was! Gu Xiang¡¯an listened to the sisters¡¯ conversation. They really are going to kill me! He crawled toward the door as fear crept into him. ¡°Gu Xiang¡¯an.¡± A chilling voice came through, sending a shiver down Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s spine. ¡°Remember what you said today. If any of this gets leaked, be prepared to bear the consequences.¡± Gu Dongxue¡¯s eyes were burning red with fury. She could not believe that Gu Nanyu was letting Gu Xiang¡¯an go free. ¡°Sister, why did you let him go?¡± Gu Dongxue questioned her. Gu Nanyu stared at Gu Dongxue. After a while, she laughed as if she was mocking herself. Gu Dongxue was flustered. ¡°Sister...what are you laughing at?¡± At that moment, Gu Nanyu grabbed a Swiss army knife on the table, lifted Gu Dongxue¡¯s hand and placed it on her palm. ¡°He can¡¯t run that far. You can still kill him if you want to.¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s voice was cool and flat, devoid of any emotion. ¡°But I¡¯m scared¡­.¡± Gu Dongxue was shaking, her tears continued to roll down her cheeks, appearing very pitiful. ¡°Such a coincidence. I¡¯m scared too. I¡¯m afraid of the creepiness in prison, the rumours spreading around, the harsh reality of human nature. I''m even more afraid of.¡­¡± Gu Nanyu looked into Gu Dongxue¡¯s eyes, which were filled with confusion, scrambling to figure out why she said all of this. ¡°Forget it.¡± Gu Nanyu turned around and left Gu Dongxue¡¯s room. She went to visit Gu Xize. At that moment, he was sleeping. He was seven this year with severe autism. Gu Nanyu gently stroked his face and started crying as she touched him. Sensing someone around him, Gu Xize stirred from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and woke up from his dream. When he saw Gu Nanyu, his eyes brightened up. Noticing that she was crying, Gu Xize quickly got off his bed and ran toward the table beside his bed. He took out a big piece of drawing paper from the drawer and passed it to Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu saw a few drawings on it. The first one was a big tree with a small sapling behind it. When the storm came, the big tree stood its ground against the wind, protecting the small sapling behind it. In the next one, the small sapling had grown into a tree, and the branches and leaves got more luxuriant. This time around, it reached out its branches and protected the big tree that used to protect it. At the bottom of the paper, there was a message. ¡°You raised me up, and I will protect you for the rest of your life.¡± Looking at these drawings, Gu Nanyu sobbed even harder. Seeing that Gu Nanyu was crying, Gu Xize was startled. He reached out to wipe off her tears. In response, Gu Nanyu extended her arms to hug her younger brother. ¡°I raised you up, and you will protect me for the rest of my life. I will wait for you to grow up!¡± Gu Nanyu sobbed. Before long, Gu Xize fell asleep again. Gu Nanyu sat in his room and took a long time trying to calm herself down. Her younger brother ¡ª Gu Xize ¡ª was her father¡¯s only biological descendant, whereas she and Gu Dongxue had no blood-relations to him. Gu Yan¡¯an had secured this secret perfectly. Although his two younger brothers, Gu Ming¡¯an and Gu Xiang¡¯an, had always.been skeptical, Gu Yan¡¯an managed to keep this secret under wraps by hiring someone to fake a DNA analysis a few years ago. That had kept his brothers quiet ever since. Now that their father had passed away, Gu Nanyu swore to herself that Xize would get everything he deserved, at all cost. Having been given a new lease at life, she would never be weak, vulnerable or gullible again. She went back to her room. While she was changing her clothes, something fell out of the pocket of her jeans. Gu Nanyu picked it up. It appeared to be a small USB. Gu Nanyu furrowed her brows. She could not recall having this USB with her. Out of curiosity, Gu Nanyu inserted the USB into her computer. What appeared on her screen next left her utterly shocked. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 8 - This Time, She Would Be The Proactive One It was a database. Each of the entries in the database contained information about one person, including a photo of them and some background information on them. The first person listed was her own father, Gu Yan''an. This took Gu Nanyu by surprise. One by one, she went through each of the entries. She noticed that there were two people she could not recognise. The third name in the database belonged to a man who appeared to be of a mixed heritage. He was remarkably good looking with his eye-catching facial features. She did not expect to read that he was 40-year-old. He definitely looked a lot younger in the photograph. For some inexplicable reason, the man looked familiar to her, but she was sure that she had never seen him before. Gu Nanyu continued to read the database. If she was taken aback when she saw Gu Yan''an¡¯s name, she definitely was not prepared to see the fourth entry in the database. Staring back at her was a picture of her mother! Her mother went missing seven years ago. However, something was odd. According to the file, her mother went missing 18 years ago. Are all these linked together? Who is the owner of this USB? Why is it with me? Are the contents of this USB related to my father¡¯s death and my mother¡¯s disappearance? All of these mysteries were bouncing around in Gu Nanyu¡¯s mind. She struggled to connect the dots. She continued to read, until she saw the next person. This name left Gu Nanyu lost for words.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. It was Fu Beichen. It was actually Fu Beichen! Ever since she woke up, the only people that she had encountered were Fu Beichen and that fatso. This USB belongs to Fu Beichen! What does Fu Beichen have to do with her parents? Why does he have all this information about my parents in his USB? However, Gu Nanyu realised that the picture was indeed of her mother, but the name listed belonged to someone else. The more Gu Nanyu looked at it, the more questions she had on her mind. She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. She had always thought Fu Beichen only saved her from the prison during her past life in exchange for a one-night stand. However, with this new revelation, she realized that there was more to his actions than she had initially thought. Is this USB one of the reasons why Fu Beichen kept her by his side during her past life? Gu Nanyu could not put the pieces together. However, there was one thing she knew. Fu Beichen might know something about the death and disappearance of her father! Gu Nanyu opened her eyes. Above the room was a gleaming European-style chandelier. The coldness of the room had easily enhanced its beauty. Gu Nanyu removed the USB from her computer and destroyed it. After making sure that damage was irreparable, she threw it into the dustbin. She rose to her feet and stood before the window. Initially, the first thing she wanted to do in this life was to cut all ties with Fu Beichen. At that moment, she had changed her mind. She wanted to get close to Fu Beichen. In her previous life, she had always been the passive one. This time, she would be the proactive one. She wanted to discover all the truths that she did not know in her previous life. She wanted to unmask the truth behind her father¡¯s death and her mother¡¯s disappearance. Why is my mother¡¯s picture in the database paired with a completely unheard name? She would soon solve all of these mysteries. Although they were all in Beijing, the chances of Gu Nanyu meeting Fu Beichen were almost zero. The Gu family was not merely a family in the entertainment industry. Instead, they stood on the top of the industry. Both the Gu family and the Fu family had nothing much else in common. The Fu family was a military family. They did not have any need to get into contact with the business world. This meant that she would need to put in some effort in order for her to get close to Fu Beichen. However, owing to Gu Nanyu¡¯s secret identity, she did not make a lot of friends, afraid of accidentally revealing her true identity. However, there was one person whom Gu Nanyu trusted the most. All young boys and girls shared a similar blissful memory of falling for someone. That man was someone Gu Nanyu had a secret crush on. The relationship, however, was obliterated after her one year stint in prison, and the subsequent 10 years she spent as Fu Beichen¡¯s mistress. This time, Gu Nanyu decided to look for him, because he could be her ticket to contacting the Fu family. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 9 - We Meet Again
The Ling family¡¯s banquet dinner was held at the Ling family¡¯s mansion in the suburbs. Today was Old Master Ling¡¯s 60th birthday. Since the Ling family renounced their political legacy and ventured into the business world, they had been dealing with influential figures of the business and political circles. Hence, they were much more powerful than the Gu family. A Bentley stopped at the entrance of the mansion. The car door was open before a man in a suit stepped out of the car. He reached out to straighten his tie. Then, the chauffeur opened the door and a young lady around the age of 18 got down from the car. ¡°Dad,¡± called the young lady sweetly, as she elegantly slid her arm into his. An ordinary taxi was trailing behind the Bentley before it stopped right behind it. A young man got out of the taxi nonchalantly. The driver passed the man his change through the window and left immediately. Lifting his gaze, the young man saw the pair of father and daughter in front of him. The Gu family had some business dealings with the Ling family. Thus, the current leader of the Gu family, Gu Ming¡¯an, brought his only daughter, Gu Yaxi, to attend Old Master Ling¡¯s birthday banquet. The young man following behind them was actually Gu Nanyu. Usually, no one would notify her when the Gu family got invitations of any event or banquet. She currently bore the identity of being the Gu family¡¯s eldest grandson. After Gu Yan¡¯an¡¯s passing, the family shares and the company were supposed to be taken over by Gu Yan¡¯an¡¯s eldest son. However, the second son of the Gu family, Gu Ming¡¯an, had used Gu Nanyu¡¯s young age as an excuse, and had since been managing the Gu family for more than 10 years. The one thing Gu Ming¡¯an absolutely disliked seeing was Gu Nanyu socializing and establishing her connections. Therefore, no one in the Gu family would inform Gu Nanyu about occasions such as these. The moment Gu Nanyu got out of the car, Gu Yaxi gave her father a look. ¡°Dad, Nanyu is here.¡± When Gu Ming¡¯an saw Gu Nanyu at the entrance of the mansion, his face darkened. ¡°Nanyu, the National College Entrance Examination is just around the corner. Why are you here instead of studying at home?¡±Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. ¡°I¡¯m here to wish Old Master Ling a happy birthday, obviously.¡± Gu Nanyu placed her hands in her pockets and looked at the center of the banquet dinner nonchalantly. The corners of her mouth curved upward, appearing somewhat indolent and rebellious. Her wicked smile was exceptionally captivating. Gu Ming¡¯an had always loathed Gu Nanyu. However, in front of outsiders, he had no choice but to act like a stern adult. ¡°Your top priority right now is to improve your academic results. Don¡¯t think that you can live comfortably in the future just by relying on the Gu family. If you are ignorant and incompetent, how can I pass the company to you without any worries?¡± Gu Nanyu scoffed at the irony in Gu Ming¡¯an¡¯s words. After all, no one wanted her to be incompetent more than Gu Ming¡¯an. ¡°Second Uncle, if I¡¯m outstanding, you¡¯d be even more worried,¡± said Gu Nanyu, before turning to head inside. Upon hearing her words, Gu Ming¡¯an was stunned. Anger clouded his face immediately. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Gu Yaxi shouted from her back. She walked over to Gu Nanyu, frowning as she said quietly, ¡°You need an invitation card to attend the Ling family¡¯s banquet dinner. You don¡¯t even know such a basic rule. Go home now, before you ruin our family¡¯s reputation.¡± Gu Nanyu could not be bothered to acknowledge her. Her crush was none other than the eldest son of the Ling family, Ling Xiuqi. However, Ling Xiuqi only considered her as a friend, and did not know about her true gender. She had an agreement with Ling Xiuqi, and was told to show up despite not having an invitation. As Gu Nanyu walked to the entrance, Gu Yaxi shouted at the mansion¡¯s security guards, ¡°Hey, this person does not have an invitation card. Are you just going to let him in?¡± Gu Nanyu was promptly stopped by a security guard, who asked for her invitation card. At that moment, Gu Yaxi looked at Gu Nanyu, her sleek brows raising slightly. She had a smug look on her face. ¡°Gu Nanyu, you have previously been given a warning by the school. Grandfather has also punished you by grounding you. Don''t you remember?¡± Gu Yaxi smugly whispered the words beside Gu Nanyu¡¯s ear, but she realized that Gu Nanyu was not listening to her. Holding her phone, Gu Nanyu made a call to Ling Xiuqi. Unfortunately, the call did not go through. Gu Yaxi burst out laughing. ¡°You won¡¯t be entering the Ling family¡¯s door. Just give up.¡± Just then, Gu Nanyu put her phone down and turned to look at Gu Yaxi. Gu Yaxi pushed a few strands of hair behind her ears. She looked at Gu Nanyu, her beautiful eyes full of contempt. ¡°There¡¯s no point looking at me. I will not bring you in and let you ruin the Gu family¡¯s reputation.¡± Gu Nanyu walked toward Gu Yaxi. Thinking that Gu Nanyu was enraged by her words, Gu Yaxi was so frightened that she stumbled back in shock, until she collided with Gu Ming¡¯an. However, Gu Nanyu did not even look at her. She walked right past Gu Yaxi, heading toward a military Hummer that had stopped outside the gate. Gu Nanyu knocked on the car window. The window lowered, and a man appeared before everyone. His facial features were deep and distinct, so refined that they resembled the masterpiece of a sculptor. His eyes were dark and mesmerising, as deep as an abyss, with an inherent coldness in them. He was exuding an overpowering aura which was only found on a true ruler. Looking at him, Gu Nanyu raised her eyebrows and grinned from ear to ear. ¡°Hello, we meet again.¡±
=== If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 10 - Now That We’ve Almost Seen Each Other’s D*ck Fu Beichen looked at the young man outside the car window. She was dressed in a light-blue checkered shirt. The first few buttons of the shirt were unfastened, exposing her fair neck and her sexy collarbone. Her hair was jet black, dark and lustrous. Her eyelashes were longer than the other girls, while her eyes were long and narrow. When she raised her brows and lifted her gaze, she exuded an indescribable nobleness and elegance. The aura she carried had nothing to do with her outfit, nor the environment she was at. It was such a simple outfit. She was not wearing any accessory, and the cuffs of her sleeves were loose. Even so, she radiated a captivating yet indescribable sexiness. She resembled a prince in a banquet dinner who had carelessly thrown her tuxedo away, preparing to step onto the dance floor with the princess at any moment. Fu Beichen¡¯s gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it was going to peel off her layers, one after another. He had never been wrong before. After all, there was a huge difference between males and females. However, if she¡¯s a woman, why did she remove her clothes so regardlessly in front of a stranger? Fu Beichen opened the car door and got out of the car before he threw her a sidelong glance. ¡°How can I help you? ¡°Can you do me a favor?¡± Fu Beichen arched his brows, apparently asking her why he should help her. She had stayed with him for 10 years in her past life. Gu Nanyu knew his every move by heart.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. For instance, when Fu Beichen took his pants off, she could immediately tell whether he wanted to be on top or at the bottom. Now, as he raised an eyebrow, Gu Nanyu already knew what he was thinking. She took a step forward, inching closer to Fu Beichen. She winked her left eye and said under her breath, ¡°Now that we''ve almost seen each other''s d*ck, can you bring me to the banquet?¡± After Gu Nanyu finished her words, Fu Beichen¡¯s expression darkened. He stared at her with his dark eyes. Gu Nanyu shrugged. When she was about to tell Fu Beichen that it was just a joke, Fu Beichen shot her a glance. ¡°Come on in.¡± Gu Nanyu widened her eyes in shock, as she did not expect Fu Beichen to actually agree to take her to the banquet. She joked around with Fu Beichen for a reason. She wanted to get closer to Fu Beichen. However, when she recalled how dangerous he was in her past life, Gu Nanyu decided to be extra careful around him. The only way was to pretend that she had a different sexual orientation. She knew that Fu Beichen was a straight man. Unexpectedly, Fu Beichen agreed to bring her in. Gu Nanyu was startled. Gu Nanyu was not the only one in shock. The Gu family¡¯s father and daughter had dropped their jaws when they saw Gu Nanyu following Fu Beichen into the mansion. They did not recognize Fu Beichen. They watched as he entered the mansion smoothly without even presenting his invitation card. Gu Yaxi did not know that man¡¯s identity. However, his strong figure and straight posture, together with his noble and overpowering aura, had caught Gu Yaxi¡¯s attention. The moment that man¡¯s silhouette disappeared from her sight, Gu Yaxi questioned the security guard at the side. ¡°Who is he? Why is he allowed to enter without an invitation card?¡± The security looked at Gu Yaxi with great disdain, as though he was looking at a country bumpkin. ¡°He is Senior Officer Fu from the Beijing First Military District.¡± He spoke in a contemptuous tone, seemingly mocking her for not knowing Fu Beichen. ¡°Oh, he is Senior Officer Fu?¡± Gu Yaxi was very excited to see such a legendary person for the first time. ¡°Yes. Old Senior Fu and our old master were pals when they were younger. Senior Officer Fu attends our Old Master¡¯s birthday celebration every year.¡± The security guard spoke with a face full of pride. Astonishment arose in Gu Yaxi¡¯s heart as she stared in the direction that Fu Beichen had left. With Fu Beichen¡¯s identity, how does Gu Nanyu have anything to do with him? === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 11 - I See You As A Friend, Yet You Are Trying To Sleep With Me? Gu Yaxi noticed that Gu Nanyu was standing together with Ling Xiuqi and whispering to each other after entering the mansion with Gu Ming¡¯an. Fu Beichen was nowhere to be seen. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Ling Xiuqi might have known Fu Beichen personally so Gu Nanyu was trying to benefit from that. Or else, Gu Nanyu could never have any connection with the Fu family. Gu Ming¡¯an first brought Gu Yaxi to congratulate Old Master Ling and greet the elder members of the Ling family. Then, he took her to meet Ling Xiuqi. Gu Ming¡¯an had always intended to marry Gu Yaxi to Ling Xiuqi as they were around the same age. Hence, he was trying his best to match Gu Yaxi with Ling Xiuqi. Gu Ming¡¯an was looking at Ling Xiuqi with a friendly smile on his face as they walked to him. ¡°Xiuqi, I¡¯m catching up with my old pals over there. Please do take care of Yaxi for me.¡± Ling Xiuqi looked very reliable despite the fact that he was only 18 years old. He was not only gentle and elegant but also humble and polite, giving off a comfortable impression like a spring breeze in March. He replied to Gu Ming¡¯an smilingly, ¡°No worries, Uncle, will do.¡± After Gu Ming¡¯an left, a sweet smile flashed through Gu Yaxi¡¯s face. The eyes laid on Ling Xiuqi were gentle as if water was flowing in them. ¡°Brother Xiuqi, this is my first time here in your mansion. Can you walk me around your house?¡± Gu Nanyu almost puked when she heard Gu Yaxi¡¯s coquettish tone and her dramatic expression.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. ¡°Sorry, I will ask Ling Wu to take you around. I need to talk to some friends.¡± Gu Yaxi threw a glance at Gu Nanyu who was lying on the couch. She was lounging there with her arms placed behind the couch while radiating an apathetic yet elegant aura. Her presence was hard to ignore. Gu Yaxi¡¯s gaze darkened as she looked daggers at her. It¡¯s this gay again! Others might not know but Gu Yaxi was well aware that Gu Nanyu secretly kissed Ling Xiuqi when everyone was drunk during the last New Year gathering! Gu Yaxi was bothered by this matter for a long time as she felt like someone had coveted her possession. Gu Yaxi plastered a smile on her face although her mind was filled with curses. She would not leave as she could not allow Gu Nanyu to have an opportunity to get close to Ling Xiuqi! ¡°I shall not trouble Ling Wu, I will stay here. My cousin brother is here too, he can take care of me.¡± Gu Yaxi took a seat beside Gu Nanyu as she spoke. Gu Nanyu lifted a brow and did not entertain her. The people gathering there were mostly young adults who were almost the same age as Ling Xiuqi. They were occupied with the classic truth or dare and poker cards. Gu Nanyu sat at the side and watched them but did not participate. Ling Xiuqi¡¯s sister, Ling Wu was the pampered little princess in the Ling family. She approached them and requested to join the game. ¡°Count me in, count me in¡­¡± Ling Wu ran over with a smile. However, when she was approaching the desk, she tripped over an extended leg as she could stabilize herself. As she fell forward, she bumped her forehead at the corner of the desk right in front of her hard before anyone could react. Ling Wu yelped in pain as a huge wound was formed on her forehead with warm fresh blood trickling down her nose bridge. Everyone was stunned at that moment. Ling Wu¡¯s sight was blurred by the blood and her face turned pale in shock. Then, she cried out loud. Enraged, Gu Yaxi stood up and glared at Gu Nanyu with a sense of outrage as if the presence of Gu Nanyu was an embarrassment. ¡°Cousin, how could you? You should not be jealous of how well Brother Xiuqi treats his own sister even though you like him! How could you simply stretch out your leg to trip her like that? Look at how severe the wound is, she will definitely have a scar from that!¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s face turned dark, ¡°What nonsense are you saying?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not nonsense. I saw you kissing Brother Xiuqi when everyone was drunk in the gathering last New Year with my own eyes. However, I did not expect you to hurt Little Wu in this way!¡± Gu Yaxi clenched her fists in anger. All the people at the scene were shocked. What the h*ll have we heard? That¡¯s breaking news! Gu Nanyu likes Ling Xiuqi? D*mn, we are dying to know how petrified Ling Xiuqi is at the moment! I see you as a friend, yet you are trying to sleep with me? === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 12 - ‘Best’ Friends For Bed A deafening silence reigned in the air. All the guests in the banquet hall remained silent at the particular moment, even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard. The violinists in the corner also stopped playing because of Gu Yaxi¡¯s words. Ling Wu paused her crying and stared at Gu Yaxi, dumbfounded. She then glanced at Gu Nanyu before averted her gaze to Ling Xiuqi. Oh my God, what is happening to this world? Aren¡¯t Gu Nanyu and Brother Xiuqi best friends? The phrase ¡®best¡¯ friends for life is common. Are they ¡®best¡¯ friends for bed instead? Staring at Gu Nanyu, Gu Yaxi was expecting her to get all anxious and explain to Ling Xiuqi after encountering such an incident. For such a matter, the more she explained, the more guilty she would seem. Gu Yaxi was anticipating this scene. However, Gu Nanyu stayed silent and remained stationary on the couch throughout the entire incident. Her nonchalant attitude was as if she had nothing to do with the matter. When Gu Yaxi was about to continue mocking Gu Nanyu, she straightened her posture and stretched her body. Her long legs were stretched out at that moment.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. The surrounding crowd was gawking at her as if they were waiting for an explanation. Then, Ling Wu¡¯s mother who had noticed the incident ran to them hastily. She almost lost her soul out of shock when she saw the injury on Ling Wu¡¯s forehead and her face which was drenched in blood. ¡°Little Wu, what happened?¡± Madam Ling¡¯s voice was trembling as she was terrified by Ling Wu¡¯s wounds. Before Ling Wu was able to speak, Gu Yaxi who was standing at the side spoke, ¡°Auntie, I apologize, this is our family¡¯s fault. My cousin, Gu Nanyu tripped Little Wu over. Also, he has some...inexplicable feelings toward Brother Xiuqi¡­¡± Gu Yaxi uttered in shame as if there was no place for her to hide her embarrassment. Madam Ling¡¯s initial rage slowly turned into astonishment upon hearing her words. Gu Yaxi¡¯s words had overturned her world views! This Gu Nanyu! He has not only tripped Ling Wu but also covets Ling Xiuqi! Madam Ling approached Gu Nanyu with an imposing manner, wanting her to pay for her wrongdoing. She lifted her hand but her wrist was grabbed by someone from the side. ¡°Mother, Nanyu is a guest of mine.¡± It was none other than Ling Xiuqi. Madam Ling was furious as her own son was blocking her. ¡°Xiuqi, I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re defending him!¡± Looking at Ling Xiuqi who was standing in front of her to defend her, Gu Nanyu lifted the corners of her mouth. This unrequited love is totally worth it! Even though he was still a young adult, he possessed every quality he should have. Gu Nanyu stretched out his legs and said indifferently. ¡°Aunt Ling, I have never moved since Little Wu¡¯s fall. Look carefully, do you notice anything strange?¡± Madam Ling was in the midst of fury and could not speak to her calmly. Ling Xiuqi frowned. He quickly intervened right before Madam Ling lost her temper. ¡°Mother, look, this is where Little Wu fell. If Nanyu wanted to trip her, he would have to stretch his legs out like what he is doing right now and he would have to make some big movement if so. However, I had been sitting opposite him and I did not see him move around. This proves that Gu Nanyu was not the one who tripped Little Wu.¡± Gu Yaxi was starting to panic when she realized that Ling Xiuqi was doubting her words. The color drained from her face. ¡°Xiuqi, how could it be me? I was playing poker with you guys!¡± Feng Sihan immediately explained after she was pointed out. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 13 - Because I Brought Him In At this moment, Gu Yaxi pretended to be innocent as well. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be me either. Everyone knows that Little Wu and I are best friends. I got so pissed off when she fell down just now. I thought it was my cousin who tripped her up.¡± Gu Yaxi was looking for excuses. Meanwhile, Ling Wu had stopped shedding her tears. She glanced at Feng Sihan and then cast a glance at Gu Yaxi. Feng Sihan was older than her and they did not interact much so she had no reason to trip her up. As for Gu Yaxi, who was her best friend, it was even more unlikely for her to do so. Her furious expression was rather obvious the moment she saw Ling Wu tumbled to the ground. Gu Yaxi ran her eyes down the gown that Ling Wu was wearing. It was a long evening dress. ¡°Little Wu¡¯s gown today is quite long. Did you accidentally trip over it?¡± Gu Yaxi asked Ling Wu in confusion. Ling Wu could hardly remember how she fell down. She was rushing to play poker at that time, so she did not notice it. Upon hearing Gu Yaxi¡¯s words, Ling Wu felt that it might be possible too. After all, it was in her nature to easily lose her balance and fall down. Hence, the possibility mentioned by Gu Yaxi was very likely to happen. Seeing her infuriated mother, Ling Wu reached out to tug her hand. ¡°Mom, I tripped over myself. No one made me fall.¡± Only then did Madam Ling feel relieved after she knew that nobody was conniving anything. However, she became worried again as Gu Yaxi¡¯s words crossed her mind.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Gu Nanyu has a thing for Xiuqi! Xiuqi even considers him to be his best friend! Such a person is too dangerous! He is my only son, I¡¯m not going to let others affect his sexual orientation! Judging from Gu Nanyu¡¯s feminine appearance, he must be either a gay or a ladyboy! At this moment, Madam Ling revealed a cold and aloof expression as she glared at Gu Nanyu in a haughty manner. ¡°Please leave now. The Ling family does not welcome people like you!¡± Madam Ling¡¯s words were frosty and utterly emotionless. Soon after Madam Ling gave her order, everyone fixed their eyes on Gu Nanyu. The corners of Gu Yaxi¡¯s mouth slightly curled at the sight of this. As long as she could achieve her goal, the process did not matter. Whatever it was, she had successfully triggered Madam Ling¡¯s aversion toward Gu Nanyu. Now that Madam Ling was about to chase him out of the Ling family, Gu Nanyu¡¯s name would be infamous in the social circle. As the news spread, no one would dare to invite him anymore! Too bad he is the eldest grandson of the Gu family. Otherwise, I''d have cast him out of the Gu family long ago! Deep down, Gu Yaxi was hatefully thinking about this. Madam Ling realized that Gu Nanyu was remaining calm and casual instead of budging at all. He was still randomly looking at something that resembled a flash drive in his hand. His careless, idle attitude only intensified Madam Ling¡¯s rage. With that, she disregarded Ling Xiuqi¡¯s obstruction and summoned the security guards to chase him out. ¡°Kick this fellow out of here and never let him enter the Ling family¡¯s house again!¡± ¡°Madam Ling, who are you kicking out?¡± A cold voice spread across the atmosphere from Madam Ling¡¯s back. There was a lack of emotion in that voice without any indication of warmth as if that person was born this way. As Madam Ling turned around, her anger began to ease with her face softened when she saw Fu Beichen. She replied in a much more subdued tone, ¡°This fellow. The eldest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Nanyu. If it¡¯s not because of the business dealings with the Gu family, our Ling family will never let this kind of person in!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Fu Beichen raised his eyebrows. ¡°In that case, it seems like I¡¯m at fault.¡± Madam Ling was puzzled. ¡°What does this have to do with you, Beichen?¡± ¡°Because I brought him in.¡± As Fu Beichen spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Gu Nanyu. No one seemed to notice the gloominess deep in his eyes. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 14 - I Am Your F*cking Uncle Madam Ling¡¯s eyes were wide in bewilderment upon hearing Fu Beichen''s words. How on earth is Gu Nanyu related to Fu Beichen? In fact, everyone in the room was having the same thought as Madam Ling. Who is Fu Beichen? And who is Gu Nanyu? There¡¯s literally a world of difference between both of them. They are not at all comparable. ¡°Of course I¡¯m not talking about you, Beichen. The Fu family and the Gu family are definitely not the same." Madam Ling, at this moment, had put away her stony and stern expression. "Oh, what''s the difference then?" Fu Beichen''s voice was light, shallow. It was almost toneless and devoid of emotions, but it could still intimidate people with a sense of oppression. "The Gu family and the Ling family only have business dealings. The reason that the Gu family is able to attend today is because of our joint venture in a drama shooting later on. This is nothing compared to the relationship between the Ling family and the Fu family. Both of our families have been friends for years." The smile on Madam Ling''s face never faltered as she explained. She was somewhat right, for the Ling and Fu families really had been friends for years. However, Madam Ling had always held the Gu family in contempt. Fu Beichen made his way to the front of the sofa and looked at Gu Nanyu condescendingly. ¡°Madam Ling, you¡¯re right to say that the Ling and Fu families have been friends for years." Fu Beichen parted his lips. With those words, his lips slightly raised, which somehow made Gu Nanyu shudder.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. What¡¯s this bad*ss up to again? Gu Nanyu thought to herself. In the past life, he would start to torture me whenever the corners of his mouth curled up like this. But that was on the bed. What scheme is he cooking up now? "But, the Fu family and the Gu family are in-laws," Fu Beichen continued. Gu Nanyu, on the other hand, was drinking water while waiting for his dirty tricks. She immediately choked on her drink when she heard Fu Beichen¡¯s last sentence. After a coughing spell, Gu Nanyu then gawked at Fu Beichen. In-laws? What in-laws? With who? Gu Nanyu was not the only one to have this in mind. The rest of them were taken aback as well. Gu Yaxi, in particular, was surprised with her mouth agape. The Gu family and the Fu family are in-laws? Why didn¡¯t Dad and Mom mention this before? Nevertheless, Gu Yaxi was on cloud nine despite her astonishment. "Hold on. I¡¯d like to know with whom did you marry?" Staring at Fu Beichen, Gu Nanyu was extremely perplexed. Could it be possible that Fu Beichen has taken a fancy to one of the Gu family members again? And so he wants to get married? Instead of answering her, Fu Beichen merely threw Gu Nanyu a flat look. It was then that the personal assistant beside Fu Beichen spoke, "18 years ago, Miss Fu Xingchen had a dispute with Old Minister and she ran away from home. She was later married to the eldest son of the Gu family. Our minister only knew about this a few days ago.¡± Gu Nanyu heard him out before starting to ponder over his explanation. The eldest daughter of the Fu family was Fu Beichen''s sister. His sister ran away from home and then married the eldest son of the Gu family. That¡¯s why Fu Beichen said that the Fu family and the Gu family are in-laws. Oh, it¡¯s none of my business then. A moment later... The eldest son of the Gu family! Holy cr*p! The eldest son of the Gu family! I¡¯m the eldest grandson of the Gu family, and my father¡¯s the eldest son of the Gu family! Though he¡¯s not my biological father, my mom is my biological mother! Gu Nanyu snapped out of her thoughts and instantly jumped up from the sofa. Pointing at Fu Beichen, her heart was now in turmoil. The calm look on her face was long gone, even her fingers were shaking slightly. "You...What did you just say? Come again!" Fu Beichen looked at the way Gu Nanyu reacted, and the corner of his lips lifted a little. "I said, I am your uncle." Fu Bei Chen was tongue-tied. Holy sh*t! I¡¯m your f*cking uncle! This world was really full of fantasy! === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 15 - Im Not Your Father After listening to Fu Beichen¡¯s words, her first thought was not about the advantages she could obtain from the Fu family. Instead, she thought about all sorts of techniques Fu Beichen had utilized to torture her in the previous life! What the f*ck! No way, this is way too pornographic! I can¡¯t accept this! Uncle! Uncle! Ah! Everyone there saw Gu Nanyu lose balance and fall onto the sofa. Her face was desperately restless and strange. Why does Gu Nanyu have such an expression? Is it not considered pennies from heaven to have an uncle like Fu Beichen? His position in the Gu family is awkward. What her father left behind is all controlled by his uncle. Won¡¯t it be better with the backing of the Fu family? Or is she hit dizzy by the pennies? At this time, Gu Nanyu stood up again from the sofa. She asked Fu Beichen with a frightened face, "Do you have proof to claim yourself as my uncle? Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s get a DNA test. Otherwise, I won''t believe it!" "I''m not your father." Fu Beichen shot her a sidelong glance. Oh, my god. How have I never realized that he has such a wicked tongue before?Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. At this time, Fu Beichen''s personal assistant spoke again, "In medical terms, the uncle and the nephew have different chromosomes, and the genetic similarity is extremely low. So DNA could be ignored as it is not solid evidence." Gu Nanyu was speechless. Gu Nanyu seemed to at full steam right now. Her mind was filled with vulgar words. "Now my dad has passed away and my mother is missing. You cannot simply claim yourself as my uncle as you please." Gu Nanyu refused to accept this matter. "And, my mother has gone missing for seven years. Before that, I have never heard my mother mention anything related to the Fu family." Fu Beichen could not be bothered to give Gu Nanyu a response, thus, all he did was shooting a glance at the assistant beside him. At this time, the assistant took out a photo album and a diary from the bag he carried with him. Subsequently, he handed it to Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu was resistant toward it in her heart as she always felt that this was something that would cause her to have a breakdown. However, she earnestly received the two diaries and photo albums. Gu Nanyu opened the first page and immediately detected familiar handwriting. At this moment, Gu Nanyu''s eyes welled up as she tried to hold back the tears. My mother had always been ill. The doctor said that it was intermittent amnesia, which was an extremely rare disease. Fortunately, Dad never gave up and had been taking care of her all the time. As time passed, her mother''s condition stabilized, even so, she had no memory of what happened before. Therefore, Gu Nanyu did not even know whether she was actually from the Fu family. Looking at the familiar past of her mother, Gu Nanyu felt that something in her brain collapsed. Then, she opened the album. On the first page, there were three words of Fu Xingchen. This album looked a bit old. The photo in the first chapter was a white baby girl with no front teeth, grinning at the camera. The eyebrows looked exactly like Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu flipped to the next page to find pictures of Fu Xingchen growing up. One year old, three years old, five years old ... until the last one, when she was 20 of age. Her eyebrows looked exactly like Gu Nanyu''s as though it was carved! It was just that Fu Xingchen was sweeter, and Gu Nanyu looked a little more handsome than Fu Xingchen because she had been wearing men''s clothing for years. However, no matter what, this diary and photo album were enough to justify that this was her mother. It was true and nothing went wrong! God, why are you playing a trick on me? I was tortured by that man for ten years in my previous life, and now you¡¯re telling me that he is my uncle? === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 16 - The USB Flash Drive Has Been Switched It was originally the 60th birthday banquet of the old master of the Ling family, but now it became a recognition banquet for Fu Beichen and Gu Nanyu. It was just that this recognition was unilateral because Gu Nanyu later ran away while holding the album and diary. Yes, you¡¯re not mistaken, she ran away. She was scared off! People at the banquet were discussing the matter that happened today. They could not believe that the Fu family was involved with the Gu family. These people began to gossip about Gu Nanyu''s parents. Some people were unaware of the Gu family¡¯s situation, hence they asked the people around them. ¡°Speaking of the matter today, I have not heard of Gu Yan¡¯an for many years. After all, I have been abroad. How has he been these days? Why is his younger brother Gu Ming¡¯an always representing the Gu family instead of him?" "Of course, you did not know this since you were abroad. Gu Yan¡¯an died seven years ago, and since then the Gu family is managed by the second child of the Gu family." "What? Gu Yan¡¯an is gone? What a pity!" "Yes, you¡¯re right. Gu Yan¡¯an was a genius in the business world. The Gu family would have been better if he was still here." "What a shame..." They were mourning for Gu Yan''an. Suddenly, a stranger made a comment. "I didn''t expect that the wife of Gu Yan¡¯an would be Fu''s eldest daughter." "Nobody would have imagined that. When Gu Yan¡¯an returned from abroad with his wife, his wife had never appeared in the eye of the public. Gu Yan¡¯an had protected her well enough until we couldn¡¯t find out any information about her."Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Gu Yaxi was still at the banquet at this time. She was unreconciled knowing that Gu Nanyu was now in the limelight. Gu Nanyu has such a powerful uncle! Gu Yaxi felt very unpleasant when the people in the hall were talking about her eldest uncle, Gu Yan¡¯an, and her eldest auntie! Everyone attributed the present glory of the Gu family to Gu Yan''an. They were not even bothered to appreciate her father¡¯s effort in managing the business. Gu Yan''an was also lucky. After returning to China at that time, he established a firm foothold in the economic entertainment field after creating several big IPs and making many people under the company famous. If he was the lead now, there were so many rival companies because the studios were popping up like mushrooms. The market competition was so great, and it was still a mystery if he could continue to be the leader of the industry. Subsequently, Gu Yaxi thought of the wife of Gu Yan¡¯an, Gu Nanyu''s mother. Gu Yaxi''s only impression of her was her beauty. As a child, she wished that she looked like her eldest aunt. Gu Yan''an protected his wife so well that the members of the Gu family could not get in touch with her. Fu Beichen was sitting in a Hummer. He closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. His personal assistant, Jiang Yishan, plugged the USB flash drive to his laptop. This USB flash drive was left by Gu Nanyu when she ran out of the banquet hall in dismay. Jiang Yishan handed the notebook to Fu Beichen after the information was displayed. "Chief, the USB flash drive has been loaded." Fu Beichen did not even open his eyes as he waved and replied, "No, the USB flash drive has been switched." Jiang Yishan was stunned and he could not find any clues even after searching the USB flash drive thoroughly. Was it possible that the chief has seen the above information before, which is why he knew that the USB flash drive has been switched? Jiang Yishan was very puzzled. Fu Beichen opened his eyes to stare at the USB flash drive as he started talking. "There will be a small S on all the things that belong to Captain S. Did you see any small S on this item?" Fu Beichen said lightly. Jiang Yishan glanced, and there was no letter S as mentioned by Fu Beichen. "Chief, what was his purpose of replacing this USB flash drive?" Fu Beichen looked out of the car window, his dark eyes narrowed slightly. Purpose? He would know it soon. Those who knew of this would either shut up forever or be kept by his side forever. Chapter 17 - The Exhilaration Of Gu Dongxue Gu Nanyu was shocked. Shell-shocked. The first thing she did once she reached home was to turn on the computer and search for ¡®Fu Xingchen¡¯. Fu Xingchen, was once the Number One Beaut in Beijing as shown by the data found. She was the daughter of Fu Jingrui¡¯s first wife. After Fu Xingchen¡¯s mother died of illness, Fu Jingrui remarried. Thus, Fu Beichen was born. As a result of a big difference in age, Fu Xingchen was 12 years older than Fu Beichen. After searching for a long time, Gu Nanyu finally found a photo of Fu Xingchen online. It was taken during a state banquet. In fact, her photos were not supposed to be uploaded due to her identity. However, a well-known celebrity in that banquet took some of these shots to raise her social status. Coincidentally, Fu Xingchen¡¯s side profile was in the photo. Gu Nanyu could recognize her right away, that¡¯s Mother! Her hand on the mouse quivered. So, does this mean that Fu Beichen is really my uncle? Gu Nanyu forgot to lock the door when she came in. She did not realize Gu Dongxue¡¯s walking in. At this moment, Gu Nanyu was still absent-minded, totally oblivious about Gu Dongxue who flipped over the album she left on the table. Gu Dongxue looked at the figure in the album and was gradually taken by surprise.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Flipping until the end, she saw the name written on the album, Fu Xingchen. Gu Dongxue raised her head in shock. As much as Gu Nanyu did, she was dumbfounded. She looked at Gu Nanyu. The monitor was showing an old news article at that instant. There, a renowned celebrity attended a state banquet, Fu Family¡¯s Number One Beaut daughter photo was taken by coincidence, outshone the most gorgeous celebrity in entertainment. Gu Dongxue did not finish reading the remaining part of the article, she only read those few words. It seemed like those words were engraved deeply in her heart almost immediately. Fu Family¡¯s daughter, the Number One Beaut in Beijing! Isn¡¯t that person our mother? The Fu Family? There is no other Fu Family! Even in Beijing, there is only one! So, Mother is the daughter of the Fu Family! With such a blood relation, there is no reason for them to be afraid of the Gu Family anymore! Agitated, Gu Dongxue held the album in front of Gu Nanyu. ¡°Sister, is this real? Is mother the daughter of the Fu Family?¡± Upon hearing her words, Gu Nanyu came back to her senses. She glanced at the album Gu Dongxue was holding, and the look of the latter. The gleam in her eyes turned dull. The reason behind her exhilaration must be their relationship with the Fu family. Even until today, Gu Nanyu could still remember what Gu Dongxue said right before her death. She was grateful to her mother, for being able to give her a powerful and influential father. Her eyes were only filled with cold-bloodedness, selfishness, and power without affection or kinship in the slightest! Gu Nanyu took away the album from Gu Dongxue, glancing at her calmly. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking.¡± However, Gu Dongxue was still in ecstasy. Unlike Gu Nanyu¡¯s impassiveness, she continued questioning in excitement. ¡°I am not! That is Mother! And Mother is one of the members of the Fu Family!¡± The Fu Family was enough to make Gu Dongxue go crazy, thinking of all the sufferings they had experienced in the Gu Family. Thinking of the blood relation she had with the Fu Family, Gu Dongxue was getting fearless of Gu Xiang¡¯an. At this moment, Gu Nanyu looked at Gu Dongxue sternly. ¡°Mother has been missing for seven years, there¡¯s no news until today, and you¡¯re happy?¡± Gu Dongxue¡¯s heart sank. She stared into Gu Nanyu¡¯s eyes, she could feel her heart palpitating fast. What¡¯s wrong with Gu Nanyu? What¡¯s with the sudden change in her attitude? ¡°Sister, what I meant was, if Mother is the daughter of the Fu Family, wouldn¡¯t it be faster for us to find Mother with their help?¡± Gu Dongxue explained to Gu Nanyu hastily. Chapter 18 - It Ain’t Good Gu Nanyu lifted her gaze to look at Gu Dongxue. Her gaze was dim. Her intense stare was as though a knife cutting open Gu Dongxue¡¯s chest to check the color and the temperature of her heart. Gu Dongxue got goosebumps under Gu Nanyu¡¯s gaze. She could not understand what was wrong with her. Her once obedient elder sister had never turned down her requests before. However, she changed after what had happened with Gu Xiang¡¯an that day. No more warmth and fondness, only ruthless and grim were left behind. Even now, she is looking at me with such a sight, how did she become like this? Was it because I told Gu Xiang¡¯an to find her, so she¡¯s holding a grudge because of that? Right before Gu Dongxue wanted to explain about the matter, Gu Nanyu spoke first, ¡°There¡¯s nothing between Mother and the Fu Family, so don¡¯t even dream of it. They just look alike by chance.¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s voice was firm, not blinded by the word ¡®Fu Family¡¯. When she was in the Ling Family¡¯s manor, her uncle, Fu Beichen¡¯s identity already got her bewildered. As if being struck by lightning, she was at a loss. She had only regained her composure a while ago. She had the intention to approach Fu Beichen, but she had to make the move first instead of being passive like right now. First of all, she must find out the real intention behind Fu Beichen¡¯s action.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Fu Beichen was someone with a domineering character, so he would not keep someone he did not know vividly by his side. When she was by his side for 10 years in the past life, Gu Nanyu was sure that Fu Beichen definitely did a background check on her. If that was the case, he must have known everything including her parents. Putting oneself in his shoes, imagine if he knew the identity of his niece and still be able to lay his hands on her, he must be an extremely perverted person. Although Fu Beichen was indeed a pervert, it still did not reach the extreme level. After all, after calming down and coming to her senses, Gu Nanyu was certain that there must be a conspiracy in this matter. ¡°But still, how could they look so identical? Are you sure you¡¯re not mistaken, elder sister? Besides, Mother tends to be forgetful sometimes, maybe she just can¡¯t remember her real identity.¡± Gu Dongxue was unresigned hence she continued with her talking. ¡°Whatever. The Fu Family is just at the Royal View Garden Villa area, you can go get yourself a new uncle whenever you like.¡± Gu Nanyu paid no attention to her as she uttered and went back to her room. There must be something she was not aware of in this matter. Someone named Fu Xingchen really existed. The article with Fu Xingchen¡¯s side profile was years ago, so the date it was uploaded could not be altered. Even if the album was fabricated by Fu Beichen, the article was real. The possibility of Mother was Fu Xingchen was huge. The more Fu Beichen thought of the problem, the more her head ached, so she simply closed her eyes to refrain herself from thinking. Gu Dongxue noticed Gu Nanyu¡¯s indifference. She then walked out of the room feeling wronged. That night, because of what had happened during the banquet, Gu Nanyu did not have a peaceful rest at night. She dreamt about her previous life. That time she was discharged from prison when Fu Beichen took her to the Royal View Garden. She brought along Xize with her. Thanks to professional treatments from a psychologist, Xize''s condition was gradually stabilized. Gu Nanyu had already prepared herself to be Fu Beichen¡¯s secret lover because the only thing she had was her body and nothing else. She was unable to provide her younger brother a stable life or get him a professional doctor, not to say snatching back the Gu Family¡¯s authority from Gu Ming¡¯an. Hence, she accepted what Fu Beichen had proposed. He wanted her body while she needed the wealth to face the Gu family! The dream she had that night was her first night with him after being released from prison. Well, it ain¡¯t good! Chapter 19 - Found Himself A Lover To Prove That He Was Not Impotent Having lived in the Royal View Garden for two months, Fu Beichen was yet to make his appearance. Gu Nanyu thought, perhaps he had erection problems and only made her his lover to uphold his reputation. While other people feigned themselves to impress, he found himself a lover to prove that he was not impotent. Of course, this was only Gu Nanyu¡¯s surmises. Later on, Gu Nanyu heard from the villa¡¯s servants that Fu Beichen¡¯s parents had fallen sick. He had been staying in his ancestral home to tend his parents. After about two more months later, news about the demise of Fu Beichen¡¯s father, Old Minister Fu, reached the Royal View Garden. Gu Nanyu assumed that Fu Beichen would be busy for quite a while again. However, she did not expect him to return that very night. Gu Nanyu was accompanying Gu Xize when Fu Beichen entered. His eyes were red. He completely disregarded Gu Xize¡¯s presence and dragged Gu Nanyu away with much force. Gu Xize grasped Gu Nanyu¡¯s hand tight, glancing at Fu Beichen with fear in his eyes. Gu Nanyu was yet to understand Fu Beichen¡¯s temperament at that time. Nevertheless, she did not want to frighten Gu Xize, so she soothed him in a gentle voice. She had only comforted him with a few sentences when Fu Beichen called for the servants to bring Gu Xize away. Gu Xize had just been chased out when Fu Beichen pressed Gu Nanyu onto the table beside them. Without a single warning, he tore away her skirt. In a dry and rough situation, the decade-long torment began.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Pain. Aside from this feeling, Gu Nanyu could feel nothing else. Moreover, it seemed that Gu Beichen only wanted her in pain, leaving patched red traces and distinct bite marks¡­ Stripped of strength, when she was lying on the Persian rug in the living room, Fu Beichen was holding a glass of red wine, staring at her condescendingly. ¡°He¡¯s free but you must live on.¡± Ice-cold, cruel. These words seemed to be the understatements of his cold-bloodedness at that time. Gu Nanyu¡¯s every movement would spike aches all over her body. Her body especially a certain body part was hurting much more when compared to her first time. As she listened to Fu Beichen¡¯s words, Gu Nanyu felt somewhat muddleheaded. He? Who is he? She asked this aloud, but Fu Beichen looked at her in disdain and contempt as he downed the wine in the glass. Many years later, Gu Nanyu had forgotten about this. She merely categorized Fu Beichen in the ranks of perverts. She had never met such a wild man before him. She did not know why she dreamed of him this time. When she woke up the next day, Gu Nanyu felt as if the pain had only freshly occurred yesterday. Recalling Fu Beichen¡¯s cold-bloodedness back then, she could not help but shudder. She should not contemplate matters that she could not understand. For now, she had to deal with this terrible mess, the Gu family. Gu Nanyu could clearly remember that the National College Entrance Examination was about to start. Grandpa had once promised that he would allow her to intern in the company if she could enroll herself in A University in Beijing. To reseize whatever that had belonged to her father, she had to first join the company, then nibble it bit by bit. As for Fu Beichen, she would sort him out one day. She officially started school after the short holiday of the Tomb Sweeping Day. On this morning, Gu Nanyu had breakfast and pushed her bicycle out of the villa. Just as she was about to cycle and leave, she saw Gu Yaxi tugging at Gu Dongxue¡¯s arm. Gu Nanyu raised her brows. It seemed that the sun rose from the west today. Usually, Gu Dongxue disdained riding a bicycle to school because it was humiliating. She would pester, butter up, and flatter Gu Yaxi so that she could ride the latter¡¯s car to school. After all, Gu Yaxi had her own chauffeur to pick her up and drop her off. The treatment she received was very different from what they had. Unexpectedly, the roles were reversed today. Gu Yaxi was actually holding Gu Dongxue¡¯s hand so intimately. === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 20 - The Sun Rose From The West Right when Gu Nanyu stopped to look at them, Gu Yaxi happened to spot Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu had hastily departed during the banquet last night. Gu Yaxi had many questions for her, but when she returned, she found out Gu Nanyu had rested. No one in the Gu family knew Gu Nanyu¡¯s relationship with the Fu family. Gu Ming¡¯an had previously treated them badly, and now, because of the Fu family, he could not help feeling somewhat regretful. As such, he repeatedly urged Gu Yaxi to get closer to them from now on. Early in the morning, Gu Yaxi saw Gu Dongxue and took the latter¡¯s hand affectionately, offering to go to school together. On their way to the car, Gu Yaxi beat around the bush to ask Gu Dongxue about the Fu family. Gu Dongxue was not st*pid either, thus she would not speak of things she was unsure of. She pretended that she knew nothing and passed the buck to Gu Nanyu. At that moment, Gu Yaxi spotted Gu Nanyu. Her eyes lit up, letting go of Gu Dongxue¡¯s arm and made her way to the front of Gu Nanyu. ¡°Elder Brother Nanyu, why did you leave so early last night?¡± Seeing Gu Yaxi¡¯s flattering demeanor, Gu Nanyu raised her brows and stared at her. ¡°Elder brother?¡± Sweeping a glance at her, Gu Nanyu raised her head to look to the west, then to the east. Finally, her gaze landed on Gu Yaxi. ¡°The sun didn''t rise from the west today.¡± Gu Nanyu was ridiculing Gu Yaxi for acting abnormally. The latter¡¯s face flushed as she heard her words.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. With that, Gu Nanyu had no time to stay back and chat with her. Watching Gu Nanyu cycle away, Gu Yaxi stomped her feet angrily. Gu Dongxue walked over as she saw Gu Nanyu off, her gaze full of emotions. ¡°Yaxi, don''t get angry. Perhaps Elder Brother has a misunderstanding toward you,¡± Gu Dongxue consoled Gu Yaxi. Gu Yaxi seriously hated the two of them, but she could only endure it for now. Speaking of Gu Nanyu, she had cycled to the back gate of the school. This school was considered one for children of wealthy aristocrats. The students had private cars to send them to and pick them up from school. Gu Nanyu used to have a private car too, but it seemed that she lost it for committing some kind of offense in the past. After all, it was a matter that happened over a decade ago in her past life and she could not recall clearly. She only knew that she was stripped of her pocket money and her car. Later on, when she cycled to and from school, she locked her bicycle near the back gate of the school because she did not want others to belittle her. The current Gu Nanyu naturally did not care whether she was belittled. She merely felt that parking her vehicle here was quite convenient since it would not be stolen. After locking her bicycle, Gu Nanyu took her bag and was about to head to school. However, when she turned around, she saw five or six girls standing in front of her, blocking her path. Are they here¡­ to ask for my autograph? Then, Gu Nanyu spotted the wooden sticks in their hands. They¡­ probably want me to sign on the wooden sticks! Gu Nanyu was seriously wondering, did I get involved in love affairs in the past life while disguising as a male student? ¡°Gu Nanyu, how dare you fantasize about Ling Xiuqi! We will show you the power of our sister group today, you f*cking gay!¡± the leader of the girls yelled. Gu Nanyu finally understood the situation when she heard her words. No wonder this girl looked so familiar. This is the Ning girl that was always chasing after Ling Xiuqi in the past life. In the end, it was still a love affair matter but it was caused by Ling Xiuqi instead. Gu Nanyu¡¯s face sank when she saw them walking over, her pupils as dark as the abyss. Gu Nanyu replied coldly, ¡°Don''t push my limit!¡± Those girls seemed as if they had not heard anything, raising their sticks and brandishing them at Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu sprang to her feet and ran off. ¡°Don¡¯t stretch the limit, you all can¡¯t catch up with me!¡± === If you want to read more chapters, please leave your message and let us know your thoughts. === Chapter 21 - Did It Feel Good To The Touch? Gu Nanyu had long legs. Indeed, the few of them could not catch up with Gu Nanyu. Gu Nanyu was swearing internally as she ran. She had been given a penalty last time for the trouble she had caused. She would be expelled from the school if she was caught again. If it were not for that, she would not need to run. The few moves she learned from Fu Beichen in the past life were enough to settle the girls in front of her. While running, Gu Nanyu cast a glance backward and saw that she had already left the girls far behind. Gu Nanyu did not see the person walking in front of her because she had turned her head. With a bam, she bumped into something. The collision was so hard that she felt dizzy. Her nose was almost flattened. Trying to gain her balance, she held onto the ¡®wall¡¯ that she had run into. ¡°F*ck, what is this? It¡¯s so hard¡­¡± While speaking, Gu Nanyu gave it a squeeze. Hmm, it has a protruding little pea and it¡¯s so soft. After that, Gu Nanyu raised her head. F*ck... Can anyone tell me where has my wall gone? Why is Fu Beichen here? Moreover¡­ The soft spot that she had pinched was the particular area on his chest. Dear God, please release a thunder now! Strike this man in front of me to death! ¡°Did it feel good to the touch?¡± Fu Beichen¡¯s cold voice reached her ear.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. ¡°Not bad¡­¡± Gu Nanyu said numbly. ¡°Want to carry on?¡± Fu Beichen¡¯s voice was chilled to the bones. ¡°No, thanks. Maybe another day.¡± Gu Nanyu withdrew her hand. In a blink of an eye, the girls behind her caught up. ¡°Gu Nanyu! Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± Gu Nanyu was about to resume running when Fu Beichen obstructed her way. Fu Beichen glanced at the girls mildly. ¡°Why are they after you?¡± ¡°Love affairs.¡± Gu Nanyu was too lazy to explain. Hearing her words, Fu Beichen looked at her with a gaze that was rather... indescribable. As the girls approached her, they noticed Fu Beichen standing next to Gu Nanyu and their eyes lit up. A fashionable man! The best out of the best! Such aura! Such an appearance! The school hunk, Ling Xiuqi, was like a kindergarten child when compared to him. ¡°Hey handsome, are you a teacher in our school?¡± The leader of the group instantly forgot all about her original intention. When she was about to step forward, Jiang Yishan who was standing behind Fu Beichen stepped up to block them. Fu Beichen turned around and left, ignoring them completely. Gu Nanyu followed him. ¡°Hey, you there, be polite with girls. Why did you ignore her when she talked to you? No woman will like you if you behave like this.¡± Fu Beichen turned his head to look at Gu Nanyu. ¡°I think you should be settling today¡¯s crisis before you have the time to care whether I have a woman.¡± With that, Fu Beichen strode away, leaving a dumbfounded Gu Nanyu behind. Crisis? What crisis? What did Fu Beichen mean, leaving his sentence hanging midway like that? Also, why did he come to school? While Gu Nanyu was puzzled, the girls behind her were staring at Fu Beichen¡¯s back with a starry-eyed look on their infatuated faces. Gu Nanyu glared at them from the corner of her eyes. You have yet to see the wild side of Fu Beichen. You would be scared to death if you had. Carrying her bag on her back, Gu Nanyu returned to her classroom which was not the same as both Gu Yaxi and Gu Dongxue. Gu Dongxue was the brightest among the three, followed by Gu Yaxi. Gu Nanyu was the worst student. However, Gu Dongxue always did badly in her exams on purpose as she was worried that snatching Gu Yaxi¡¯s limelight would anger her. Coming to think of it, Gu Nanyu felt that Gu Dongxue was really a hypocrite. Sitting in her seat, Gu Nanyu looked at her classmates whom she was familiar with, deeply moved by the sight. Just then, the homeroom teacher entered and made an announcement. ¡°There¡¯s no class this morning. We will conduct a medical check-up in groups later.¡± ¡°Teacher, what is the check-up about?¡± ¡°Could it be a genital test?¡± Some rogue students talked nonsense even in the presence of their female classmates. The homeroom teacher was a woman. Her face fell and she glared at these students. ¡°It¡¯s a full medical check-up for conscription and this will be your last one in school!" Medical check-up for conscription! Gu Nanyu was aghast when she heard about the medical check-up. You could have conducted a simple medical check-up before the exams. Why even bother conducting a medical check-up fit for conscription instead? We will have to undress for this!!! Chapter 22 - The Medical Check-Up Was Meant For Her Every class in twelfth grade was lining up. Boys and girls were examined separately. The line was according to the class sequence, First Class, Second Class, and so on. Gu Nanyu was in Third Class, and the first two classes were still waiting in line. Anxiously, Gu Nanyu was trying to come up with an idea. At that moment, Gu Dongxue approached Gu Nanyu. The two of them were in different classes, while Gu Dongxue and Gu Yaxi were in First Class. Although the school did not implement elite classes, everyone knew that First Class in twelfth grade was the unspoken elite class. Now, First Class had completed the examination and it was Second Class¡¯ turn. ¡°Brother, how about I pretend to be ill so that you can send me back home and avoid this check-up?¡± Gu Dongxue whispered softly in Gu Nanyu¡¯s ear. Gu Nanyu gave Gu Dongxue a glance. Gu Dongxue had an ingratiating look in her eyes. Regardless of how good her mood was, it would be dampened every time she saw Gu Dongxue. The words spoken at the operating table in her past life were still deeply ingrained in her memory. How could I continue to be kind to her, or even love her? If she were just a stranger, Gu Nanyu would torture her and skin her alive after she was reborn. However, she was Gu Nanyu¡¯s maternal sister, who had the same blood running in her veins!A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Containing her disgust and suppressing her hatred, Gu Nanyu only treated Gu Dongxue as a stranger. She was a viper. Getting close to her was undoubtedly like asking a tiger for its skin. Gu Nanyu withdrew her gaze and spoke with a mild tone. ¡°No need.¡± Gu Dongxue was taken aback for a moment. She did not expect Gu Nanyu to reject her. She wanted to restore their relationship with this incident, but Gu Nanyu was not willing to. Gu Yaxi then walked out. Spotting Gu Dongxue and Gu Nanyu chatting, she came over with a smile. ¡°Sister Dongxue, Brother Nanyu.¡± She greeted them smilingly. As Gu Yaxi saw Gu Nanyu¡¯s indifferent face, she grabbed Gu Dongxue and spoke. ¡°Dongxue, you don¡¯t know about this yet, do you? This medical check-up was funded by our family. Third Uncle has come in person and is having tea in the school¡¯s medical office. Do you want to go there?¡± Gu Yaxi deliberately raised her voice when she was talking. In this way, the people around her would hear her words and treat her with respect. It did not matter whether the others heard her. Gu Nanyu did! No wonder the simple pre-examination physical check-up is now replaced by a full-body check-up! It is Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s fault! The green veins on Gu Nanyu¡¯s forehead emerged faintly. The color drained from Gu Dongxue¡¯s face as she got to know that it was Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s idea. That very moment, Gu Dongxue said to Gu Yaxi with a difficult smile, ¡°You go on, Yaxi. I will join you later.¡± Oblivious about what her brother and sister were about to discuss, Gu Yaxi pouted and left. Gu Dongxue was not worried about Gu Nanyu¡¯s identity being exposed, but she was afraid that the video in Gu Nanyu¡¯s hands would be made public. ¡°Brother, last time you told Third Uncle you wouldn¡¯t publish the video as long as he doesn¡¯t tell anyone about your identity. Now he had found a loophole in your words without having him to tell anyone himself. So, about the video¡­¡± Gu Dongxue said these words to remind Gu Nanyu that Gu Xiang¡¯an did keep his words. At least Gu Xiang¡¯an did not tell anyone, he had only subsidized the school¡¯s student medical check-up. As she spoke, she could somehow see cold beams shooting out of the pair of dark eyes. The chillness that seeped into Gu Dongxue¡¯s bones made her feel like everything around her had frozen in a split second, as if she was trapped in an icehouse. Gu Nanyu only glared at Gu Dongxue before ignoring her completely. If it were a normal medical check-up, Gu Nanyu could simply bribe the personnel with some money. Nevertheless, it was obvious that this medical check-up was meant for her. Chapter 23 - A Disabled Leg Gu Xiang¡¯an¡¯s idea was to use external factors to expose her identity. As Gu Dongxue said, he had found a loophole in her own words. Gu Nanyu suddenly thought of the words Fu Beichen said to her just before they parted ways. Fu Beichen had advised her to overcome her crisis before talking about other matters. At that time, Gu Nanyu did not understand what Fu Beichen meant, but now she had figured it out. Fu Beichen had done an investigation on her! Fu Beichen had doubts about her gender, and so he definitely knew Gu Xiang''an''s plan. That was why he said that. What is his objective? Gu Nanyu was thinking about Fu Beichen¡¯s purpose and the reason for his warning. According to Gu Nanyu¡¯s understanding of Fu Beichen, she knew that Fu Beichen did not mean her any harm. If her guess were right, Fu Beichen had wanted to remind her. Gu Nanyu could not think of a way to solve the problem. Students from Second Class were about to be done with the examination and the homeroom teacher was beckoning them in with a yell. When it was almost her turn, Gu Nanyu was so worried that her forehead was full of sweat. Seeing that it was already Gu Nanyu¡¯s turn to enter but she was still standing there, the homeroom teacher called her name, ¡°Gu Nanyu, it¡¯s your turn.¡± ¡°Teacher, I¡­¡± Just before Gu Nanyu could speak, she was interrupted by the homeroom teacher. ¡°Gu Nanyu, you have always excused yourself with one reason or another to get away with every medical check-up before this. But I can tell you that this time is different! Those who do not take this medical check-up will be disqualified from the exam!" Gu Nanyu subtly clenched her fists. ¡°Go in quickly, don¡¯t keep the others waiting.¡± Gu Nanyu lifted her foot and walked into the examination room. With every step she took, her heart felt a little heavier. At this moment, the form master came and asked the homeroom teacher in front of the students in Third Class.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Is there a student named Gu Nanyu in your class?¡± ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong, form master?¡± ¡°The principal asked Gu Nanyu to go to his office,¡± the form master replied. Gu Nanyu heard what she said and it sounded like an angel¡¯s choir. Turning back, she walked toward the form master, wrapped her arms around the form master¡¯s neck, and gave her a smooch. ¡°Form master, I love you so much!¡± After Gu Nanyu spoke, she ran toward the principal¡¯s office. ¡°This kid¡­¡± The form master wiped her face and looked at Gu Nanyu¡¯s distant figure with a helpless expression. When Gu Nanyu arrived at the principal¡¯s office, she knocked on the door. ¡°Come in.¡± Gu Nanyu went into the room. Just when Gu Nanyu entered the room, she looked up and saw the person sitting opposite the principal. The person¡¯s back was facing her, but just from seeing that, his aura was enough to attract all the attention to himself. The principal saw Gu Nanyu and stood up with a smile. ¡°Nanyu, you¡¯re here! Your uncle is here to pick you up, and I just knew that you¡¯re a nephew of the Fu family. If you face any problems in school next time, you can come directly to me!¡± Uncle... Upon hearing this word, Gu Nanyu felt like she was struck by lightning. As expected, Fu Beichen was highly respected. There were 3,000 students in the school but the principal knew her name. How amazing was that? Fu Beichen then turned around and glanced at the principal before speaking gently and politely, ¡°Thank you so much for today, principal, I would like to excuse myself now.¡± ¡°Alright, you take care. I¡¯ll visit you at your residence someday.¡± The principal bowed a little unconsciously when he spoke, seemingly trying to curry favor with the man. When Fu Beichen turned and walked to Gu Nanyu¡¯s side, he halted for a moment. Then he went past Gu Nanyu, who was still dumbfounded. She heard Fu Beichen¡¯s voice in her ears, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving? Do you want to do the medical check-up?¡± Gu Nanyu could not respond. Gu Nanyu could not bother about anything else now. Uncle, it is! If you can help me skip the medical check-up, I can even address you as my father! Gu Nanyu followed Fu Beichen all the way out of the school. When she arrived at the school gate, she suddenly remembered what the homeroom teacher had said. She said that she would be barred from the exams if she did not take the physical check-up. Gu Nanyu could not help asking Fu Beichen, ¡°About the check-up results¡­¡± Fu Beichen turned around and eyed her from top to bottom. He was reminded of that night when she took off her top at that moment of desperation and claimed that she was a man without batting an eye. ¡°It will not affect your exams,¡± Fu Beichen told her before getting into a Hummer. When he got into the car, he glanced at Gu Nanyu. ¡°Get in.¡± Gu Nanyu got into the car obediently this time. When she saw Fu Beichen¡¯s cold face, Gu Nanyu could not help asking, ¡°What did you say to the principal to waive my medical check-up?¡± Fu Beichen raised his lips slightly upon her question. ¡°I told him about your disability, and I¡¯m worried that having a physical examination before your classmates would make you feel inferior.¡± ¡°F...¡± When Gu Nanyu heard that, she could not resist herself from swearing. As Fu Beichen glared at her, Gu Nanyu abruptly changed her sentence, ¡°F-fantastic excuse! May I know which part of me did you say was disabled?¡± If you dare say that I am mentally disabled, I will bite you to death! Fu Beichen replied calmly, ¡°Your leg.¡± Gu Nanyu was very confused. Her two legs could run awfully fast. As long as the principal was not blind, it was not hard to see that her legs were not disabled. ¡°And the principal believed that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal for a man who has a disability on his third leg to not take a medical check-up in front of others. He has no reason not to believe it.¡± F*ck! Chapter 24 - Did It Have To Be This Hurtful? Fu Beichen¡¯s driver stopped in front of a hospital. He opened the car door for Fu Beichen, and after Fu Beichen came out from the car, he saw Gu Nanyu still sitting and staring blankly at nothing in the car. ¡°Get out.¡± Gu Nanyu heard Fu Beichen¡¯s voice and instantly regained her consciousness. She got out of the car and looked at this familiar hospital with mixed feelings in her heart. She had died in this hospital in her previous life. Beijing First Military District Hospital. Gu Nanyu did not know why Fu Beichen had brought her here, but she dared not refute him, considering his attitude at the time. Fu Beichen was not a gentleman. If she did not follow his instructions, he would definitely send her back to examine her third leg. With her head lowered, Gu Nanyu followed behind him quietly. Since they entered the hospital, Fu Beichen had noticed the change in Gu Nanyu¡¯s mood. Right then, he took a quick glance at her. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Gu Nanyu was taken aback. Are you a mind reader? You could even tell that I¡¯m afraid? Gu Nanyu certainly could not say that she had died here during her previous life, which was why her emotions were complicated. So, she simply replied, ¡°I¡¯m just scared of white coats.¡±Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. That was somehow true. Before her death in her previous life, Gu Dongxue¡¯s white coat seemed to have carved itself into her heart and became a black hole in her dreams at midnight. ¡°The doctors here won¡¯t simply check your third leg,¡± Fu Beichen replied in a monotonous voice. Gu Nanyu remained silent. Did it have to be this hurtful? It¡¯s not my idea to compare my d*ck with you the first time we met, do you need to be so narrow-minded? Very quickly, Fu Beichen took her on a special lift and went to the exclusive wards on the top floor. When they reached the top floor, Gu Nanyu saw two neat rows of soldiers standing outside a ward. Who¡¯s staying inside there? Such a grand arrangement? After that, Fu Beichen stood at the door of the ward and knocked before he went in. ¡°Father, I¡¯ve brought my nephew here.¡± Fu Beichen¡¯s voice was still calm, but it was not cold like before. Gu Nanyu froze for a moment when he heard the word ¡®father¡¯. Gu Nanyu¡¯s father, Old Minister Fu... Should I call him grandfather? Forget about it, the secret has been exposed. I should just follow whatever Fu Beichen says. Fu Hongtao was in good spirits today, he was leaning over the bed and watching the news on television. After hearing Fu Beichen¡¯s words, he turned over his head. When he saw Gu Nanyu, his eyes immediately turned red. Gu Nanyu was also surprised when he saw Fu Hongtao. Old Master Fu was really her grandfather! With his looks, he must have been popular with the girls when he was young! He must have inherited my looks! Er... No, it was me who has inherited his looks! Now Gu Nanyu really believed that her mother¡¯s name was Fu Xingchen! They looked too similar. While the old master was considerably aged, he was still very attractive! However, Old Master Fu¡¯s handsome and dashing looks gained some elegance and exquisiteness when they were passed down to her mother. Gu Nanyu walked over, reached out her hand, and pinched Fu Hongtao¡¯s nose. ¡°You really are my grandfather!¡± Fu Hongtao stared at her helplessly. ¡°Why did you pinch my nose?¡± Fu Hongtao was confused by Gu Nanyu¡¯s action. ¡°Your nose looks exactly the same as my mother¡¯s. Let me see if it is done according to my mother¡¯s.¡± Gu Nanyu said as he reached out for another pinch. Fu Hongtao was tongue-tied. In ancient times, people used blood drops to identify relatives, then there was the DNA blood relation test, but it was the first time someone tried to recognize a relative by pinching the nose! Watching her movements, the adjutant behind Fu Beichen was almost suffocated from internal injuries. Chapter 25 - Inheritance From The Ancestors Fu Hongtao was shocked for a while, then he roared with laughter. Originally, he was sad because he was separated from Fu Xingchen for 18 years. At this moment, when he saw Gu Nanyu¡¯s every action, his sadness had dispersed. ¡°You really look like your mother!¡± Fu Hongtao was particularly relieved when he looked at Gu Nanyu. ¡°Especially your nose.¡± ¡°It seems like this nose runs in the family.¡± Gu Nanyu glanced at Fu Hongtao. Fu Hongtao was stunned before he laughed out loud again. Fu Beichen watched from the side. Fu Hongtao had always behaved seriously and rarely laughed so heartily. He did not expect him to laugh so many times in the mere 10 minutes he had spent with Gu Nanyu. He looked at Gu Nanyu¡¯s nose. Indeed, her nose was straight and sharp, which made her features even more defined. Currently, she had a lot of makeup on to make her look less feminine but more handsome like a young man. Fu Beichen could imagine, if she were to remove the makeup on her face, she must look elegantly beautiful and her looks would be above Fu Xingchen. Fu Beichen was suddenly reminded of the first time seeing her in that bar, under the colorful lights, in a dark corner, her facial features were much softer then. Back then she was rather panicky, not at all calm like she was now.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Although she was dressed as a boy at that time, Fu Beichen did not treat her as a boy. It was her act of undressing later on that misled Fu Beichen. She would have perfectly concealed the truth if he did not carry out an investigation afterward. Thinking about it now, he found her to be fearless, extraordinarily fearless! She actually undressed herself before a man she had never met before! Would she undress every time someone doubted her sex? When Fu Beichen thought of this possibility, his face turned somber. Even though Fu Beichen¡¯s back was facing her, Gu Nanyu was still feeling uncomfortable on her back. All this time, Fu Beichen must be staring at her like a fierce beast. Otherwise, why would the hair on her back all stand up? After Fu Hongtao laughed, he patted Gu Nanyu on the shoulder. ¡°A straight nose is better for a boy! This is a blessing, it¡¯s easier for you to get a wife in the future!¡± Gu Nanyu was totally speechless. Gu Nanyu was certain that Fu Hongtao was completely unaware that she was a girl! Who would even praise a girl like this?! Men cared about noses too much because of an old saying that said men with straight noses have larger genitalia. Her grandfather had just praised her nose for being straight and even said that it was a blessing for her to find a good wife in the future. Oh my god, do I need to show my wife my d*ck before marrying her? Will she marry me only if she likes it down there? It was clear that Fu Beichen did not expect Fu Hongtao to say that. Even as the atmosphere turned awkward, Fu Beichen had no plans to help Gu Nanyu out either. Obviously, she did not need his help as her skin was as thick as walls. Gu Nanyu replied, ¡°Grandfather, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. With this face I got from you, do you still worry that I can¡¯t find a wife?¡± Fu Hongtao laughed out loud again. This time, the nurse at the door came in and urged him with caution, ¡°Old Minister, you have just had an operation. The doctors asked you to keep your emotions in check.¡± After hearing the nurse¡¯s advice, Fu Hongtao pouted helplessly. ¡°I wanted to go home but your uncle insisted for me to stay here. With the doctors watching me here, I could neither laugh nor cry.¡± Then, Fu Beichen approached and spoke in his usual voice, ¡°Father, you should rest now.¡± Chapter 26 - No Warnings Before Dropping Innuendos! Fu Hongtao pursed his lips as something suddenly popped into his mind. He retrieved the necklace under his pillow and presented it to Gu Nanyu. ¡°You ungrateful child, no matter how poor you are, you should never sell the inheritance from your mother! If your uncle hadn¡¯t noticed, wouldn¡¯t your family heirloom have ended up in someone else¡¯s hands?¡± Gu Nanyu was taken aback when she realized that was her necklace. Of course, she was delighted too! Luckily they found it. So it was Fu Beichen who took it! That was how he knew the truth about Fu Xingchen being her mother! Fu Beichen had set out on an investigation about her only because grandfather recognized this necklace. The only matter of concern was how was he such an exceptional actor? What nonsense was he spewing when he told grandfather that she had to sell the necklace because she had no more money? Bah, what a dramatic bastard! ¡°Grandfather, it¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡± Gu Nanyu could only beat around the bush for now. Fu Hongtao announced seriously after he returned the necklace to Gu Nanyu. ¡°Never lose this necklace again, come what may. Your uncle informed me about your situation in the Gu family. Your uncle will make the necessary arrangements to bring you and your siblings here soon. By then, I¡¯ll teach the Gu family a lesson!¡± Gu Nanyu¡¯s heart jolted when she heard that Fu Hongtao intended to interfere in the Gu family matters. She quickly said, ¡°Grandfather, I would appreciate it if you don¡¯t meddle in the Gu family issues. I have my own ways to retrieve everything that rightfully belongs to my father.¡± Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. The main reason Gu Nanyu rejected the offer was to prevent Fu Beichen¡¯s dominance over her everything. To her, Fu Beichen remained a mystery. Before Gu Nanyu could see through Fu Beichen, she would never let him hold sway over her Achilles heel. Fu Hongtao studied Gu Nanyu before patting her shoulder with a face full of relief. ¡°Grandfather is very relieved that Xingchen has a commendable son! Fine, I promise not to intervene in your matters and allow you to reclaim your rightful possessions yourself.¡± Gu Nanyu then took a glance at Fu Beichen who was standing nearby. ¡°Grandfather, my uncle hasn''t agreed yet.¡± Gu Nanyu wanted to impel Fu Beichen to declare that he would leave her alone. Gu Nanyu had seen for herself how obsessive and possessive Fu Beichen could get. Fu Beichen gave her a subtle glimpse. He knew her game, he could read her like a book. ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± Right then, the nurses came in to remind Fu Hongtao to rest. It was then he finally let Fu Beichen bring Gu Nanyu out. Gu Nanyu held onto a thought as she walked out. Her uncle might not be her biological uncle, but she could confirm that her grandfather was definitely her biological grandfather. The kinship was unalterable. After all, blood is thicker than water. Although this was her first time meeting Fu Hongtao, there were no generation gaps nor unfamiliarity. It must be the power of kinship. On the other hand, her relationship with Fu Beichen... Forget it. Why should she compare herself, a sane human being, with a complete monster? Gu Nanyu sat on the bench by the corridor with her vision solely on the necklace in hand. It was just a jade pendant and the knot on the string was undone. What did it have to do with her biological father? Just then, Fu Beichen ended his conversation with the doctor and walked toward her. He saw Gu Nanyu looking attentively at the jade pendant in her hands as he approached her. ¡°Keep it well, you might not be this lucky next time.¡± Gu Nanyu recalled the fact that Fu Beichen had lied to Fu Hongtao about how she sold the jade pendant because she was short of money. He was really full of excuses. ¡°Even a three-year-old knows that lying will make one¡¯s nose longer. Ironically, some shameless adults are simply addicted to telling lies.¡± ¡°Thank you, but I already have it.¡± Fu Beichen glared straight at her. ¡°Maybe you can try lying more. Maybe someday yours will finally grow for future physical examinations.¡± Fu Beichen then marched directly out of sight. Gu Nanyu was left alone with a puzzled face and question marks floating overhead. After a moment, she was shocked when she finally realized what he meant. F*ck, you don¡¯t even warn people before you drop innuendos! I meant lying gives you a long nose, not a long d*ck! What the hell do you mean you have it! So what if you a d*ck! I have a nest, so I can have as many d*cks as I want! Chapter 27 - Despicable ¡°Selfish cold-blooded pervert, I hope you fall into potholes and run into walls!¡± Gu Nanyu was filled with hatred as she muttered under her breath. There was quite a distance between Fu Beichen and Gu Nanyu. A normal person would not hear her silent murmurs. However, Fu Beichen was not a normal person. After hearing Gu Nanyu, Fu Beichen stopped in his tracks for a moment before flouncing out of the hospital. When Gu Nanyu reached the hospital entrance, she was greeted by the sight of Fu Beichen¡¯s car revving away. The heck! This is a military hospital! It is not near the school nor the Gu family house! Distance is not a worry, I could just call a cab. But I¡¯m penniless now! She thought of asking Fu Hongtao for the money but dismissed the idea when she remembered the doctor¡¯s orders for him to rest. She did not want him to fret over this. Gu Nanyu directed her vision down at her two long legs. Let¡¯s go, bus number 11. Beijing was already scorching in May. Gu Nanyu had snowflake skin and slender legs. Since age 14, when her secondary sexual features became prominent, she started beautifying her facial features into androgyny. Still, she never exposed her legs. Hence, she wore long trousers throughout the year. According to her faint memory of the route, she trod forward. Gu Nanyu only traveled one street away but she was already exhausted and thirsty. In her heart, she had already cursed Fu Beichen more than 800 times.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Just around the corner, Gu Nanyu looked up and saw Fu Beichen¡¯s Military Hummer pulled up by the roadside. She kept her ego aside for a moment as her legs needed relief. Gu Nanyu jogged over with a boatload of impromptu flattery. However, before she could reach Fu Beichen, the vehicle started moving along its path. He drove at a moderate speed so that the vehicle was always in front of her, but beyond her reach. Gu Nanyu was speechless. It turns out that toxic traits still remain regardless of age! He is still as sick as ever! Gu Nanyu understood Fu Beichen¡¯s intentions entirely. Since their recent interactions were not pleasurable, he wanted to teach her a lesson! In an unavoidable confrontation, the wicked one would always win! She recollected Fu Beichen in his last life, when he obtained a leopard cub out of nowhere. The cub was immensely fierce in nature, along with its razor-sharp claws, it had unintentionally scratched him on a few occasions. With a personality like Fu Beichen, he would go out of his way to tame the animal, even if it were a lion. After he domesticated the leopard, it did not spark novelty anymore. Thus, he released it back to the mountains. That was how he treated her in her last life too. She had witnessed with her own two eyes, Fu Beichen training the leopard and eventually releasing it. With that, Gu Nanyu learned to behave herself. Perhaps if she behaved herself for a longer time, he would free her like he did the leopard. However, not only did Fu Beichen retain her in his captivity, but her obedience led him to toy with her to his heart¡¯s desire. Not long after, they were at daggers drawn again. As Gu Nanyu was reminded of her blood, sweat and tears in her last life, she wished she could maul him up. She must ask her grandfather one day from which mountain did he adopt Fu Beichen. His set of sick genes must not be human! Gu Nanyu¡¯s footsteps slowed down when Fu Beichen¡¯s car decelerated. Gu Nanyu ambled along the street as she was already unbothered. After almost two hours of walking, Gu Nanyu plopped herself down on a cafe stairway by the road for a rest. Just then, a person¡¯s shadow engulfed her. Gu Nanyu raised her head only to see Fu Beichen standing before her, looking down at her from above. ¡°Selfish? Cold-blooded? Pervert?¡± Gu Nanyu did not say a word. He actually heard everything! Gu Nanyu knew that her feet must be covered with blisters by now. The resentment within her grew exponentially. ¡°Yes. Other than that, you are despicable!¡± ¡°D¡¯s big and able? Hm, you are not wrong.¡± Fu Beichen glared at her before heading back to his car. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re not tired yet.¡± Gu Nanyu remained silent. God d*mnit, can you not escalate to innuendos so quickly? === We will continue to update the following chapters on patreon. Please support us on patreon if you like our novels. === Chapter 28 - Lad, You Lack Green In Your Five Elements The moment Fu Beichen got into his car and Gu Nanyu got up to leave, the door of the cafe was jerked open from the inside. ¡°Yang Jingyue, you are fired!¡± As a harsh voice fell, a girl was pushed out of the cafe. Gu Nanyu caught the girl as she was about to stumble. ¡°Thank you.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes were watery. She was definitely crying before this. The man who pushed Yang Jingyue out went back in before a couple walked out together. The man¡¯s face was blushing with guilt whereas the woman was looking all gleeful. ¡°Yang Jingyue, I always thought that you are the great, talented daughter from the Yang family but it turns out, you¡¯re nothing but a part-timer at a cafe. How brave of a person you must be to throw a fit with us, your customers! Why can¡¯t you get over yourself, are you happy to be fired now?¡± The man signaled the woman beside him to stop talking, but she could not hold her arrogance. ¡°What, do you feel sorry? You can go to her if you do!¡± As she said that, she pushed the man toward Yang Jingyue. As soon as the man noticed the woman¡¯s irritation, he quickly coaxed her, ¡°What were you thinking? I just meant that you don¡¯t have to waste so much of your words on such a person.¡± Yang Jingyue stared at him, dazed. ¡°Such a person¡­ Am I such a person who doesn¡¯t even deserve words in your eyes?¡± ¡°Yang Jingyue, stop daydreaming. He just signed a contract with Fengxing Entertainment, if rumors of him dating a cafe part-timer go out, tsk tsk tsk, how would he ever face everyone in the industry?¡± ¡°Ling Hao, you knew that I fought with my family just to be with you...¡± ¡°That is history. I was too blind to be with a girl like you. So, stop pestering me!¡± Ling Hao used his words to stab on Yang Jingyue¡¯s heart just to please his current girlfriend without any restraint. Just like what people always said, one¡¯s true colors would only show during a breakup. Gu Nanyu witnessed the whole scene from the side. She thought that the man looked familiar somehow, but she could not recall who he was right away.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. The realization only hit her after Yang Jingyue mentioned his name. Ling Hao was an idol who was only popular for a short while in her past life. He had too many scandals afterward that even the public relations could not confine them anymore, then he slowly fell out of the league. I never knew he was such a scumbag! Yang Jingyue took a step backward subconsciously and the tears in her eyes were about to fall. That was the moment when Gu Nanyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her side. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t give them the satisfaction.¡± Gu Nanyu whispered to her. Staring at the young man who appeared out of nowhere, Yang Jingyue was stunned. A burst of warmth flowed in her heart when she heard her words. ¡°Who are you?¡± Standing beside Ling Hao, Yi Mengying¡¯s eyes glowed when she saw Gu Nanyu. He is¡­ so good-looking! Gu Nanyu ignored her but held onto Yang Jingyue and continued with a half-mocking grin on her face. ¡°Little Yueyue is never one who likes to fight over something, everything that could be snatched away is equivalent to trash to her. Am I right, sweetheart?¡± Yang Jingyue did not recognize this young man, neither did she know why he knew her name. However, this strange young man preserved all of her dignity at that moment. After Gu Nanyu finished, she looked at Ling Hao¡¯s face which was twisting in fury without any emotions. Then, she turned over to look at Yang Jingyue and spoke to her softly. ¡°There are not many scumbags in this world, you just met one by coincidence. Don¡¯t worry, you will only meet good guys from now on.¡± Looking at Gu Nanyu¡¯s bright eyes, Yang Jingyue felt as if she was hypnotized by her mere sentences. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes, the best proof is you meeting me.¡± Gu Nanyu thought that she must be the best person at the current moment. She could not imagine how bad the girl would be bullied by this shameless couple if she were not there. ¡°Yang Jingyue, how dare you blame me for betraying you when you¡¯re two-timing me with this guy? How are you going to explain this to me?¡± Ling Hao who never thought he was at fault to get together with Yi Mengying felt like he was cheated on when someone else was being nice to Yang Jingyue. Gu Nanyu let go of Yang Jingyue¡¯s hand and took two steps forward, stopping right in front of Ling Hao, eyeing him from head to toe. ¡°Coincidentally, I know some I Ching. I¡¯m in a good mood today, so I¡¯ll read your fortune for free.¡± Finishing her sentence, Gu Nanyu pinched her fingers and mumbled something like a serious deal. After a short while, she concluded in a relaxed tone. ¡°Lad, you lack green2 in your five elements1. Fear not, this new girlfriend of yours will grant you the vast grassland of Hulunbuir, you guys complement each other perfectly. I wish you love for each other till death and may your love be eternal.¡± Someone burst into laughter. Gu Nanyu turned to only see Fu Beichen, who was somehow already standing right behind her. The one who laughed was Fu Beichen¡¯s personal assistant, Jiang Yishan. 1The ¡®five elements¡¯ is an ancient Chinese concept consisting of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which complement each other with different dominances to perfect the world or an individual. 2Green is an internet slang for ¡®being cheated on¡¯. It is not included in the five elements but the character sarcastically meant he is about to be cheated on by his new girlfriend soon. === We will continue to update the following chapters on patreon.

Even Yang Jingyue who was heartbroken because of Ling Hao grinned sheepishly in spite of herself. However, Ling Hao was not impressed. As a man, the only thing he feared more than death was wearing the proverbial green hat of a cuckold. Gu Nanyu¡¯s blatant and ill-meaning statement had Ling Hao raging mad. Ling Hao was a full-grown 20-year-old man, three years older than Gu Nanyu. While Gu Nanyu stood taller than most women, she was disadvantaged when compared to a tall man. Ling Hao was a little taller than Gu Nanyu. He charged forward in rage and Yang Jingyue braced herself to interpose without thinking. After all, Gu Nanyu was standing up for her. However, Gu Nanyu pushed her out of the way the moment she made a move. When Ling Hao came close, Gu Nanyu grabbed his wrist and pulled him off balance with her right hand, before pressuring his shoulder with her left. A swift kick behind Ling Hao¡¯s knee sent him kneeling in front of Yang Jingyue with a loud thump. It was all over in the blink of an eye. Fu Beichen took a step forward instinctively when Ling Hao was charging toward Gu Nanyu. To his surprise, she had subdued Ling Hao with a series of practiced and fluid moves before he could pull her over.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Fu Beichen withdrew his extended hand slowly. Jiang Yishan who was watching from the sideline was in awe. Slick moves! His moves were similar to the minister! The minister¡¯s martial art moves were fierce and powerful like a ferocious mountain tiger. In contrast, the movements of the young man in front of him were smooth and natural, which was a feast for the eyes. Fu Beichen could not help but narrowed his eyes when his gaze fell on Gu Nanyu. On the other hand, Gu Nanyu was looking at Ling Hao who was on his knees in front of Yang Jingyue with glee. Then, her stomach dropped. That particular move... She had learned this move from Fu Beichen¡­ However, it was in her previous life. Then, Gu Nanyu remembered her reincarnation and was instantly relieved. She would just pretend it was all just a coincidence. ¡°Let go of me, jerk!¡± shouted Ling Hao loudly while looking around. It was fortunate for him that no one was taking pictures. He could not afford the loss of reputation at such an early stage in his career. ¡°Sure, apologize to Yueyue. Then, say ¡®Ling Hao is a jerk among scumbags, a scumbag among jerks¡¯ out loud three times,¡± said Gu Nanyu coldly. Ling Hao almost exploded in anger upon hearing her words! ¡°In your dreams!¡± yelled Ling Hao as he struggled to get up, but Gu Nanyu had him pinned down tight. Gu Nanyu sneered. Getting up so soon? Do you think it¡¯s going to be easy to break out from this hold? I have lost count of the number of times that weirdo Fu had pinned me down with this move. Do you think you can do any better? ¡°Do as you please. Yueyue, call the police. Have them charge Ling Hao for physical assault, we¡¯ll leave it to the police,¡± said Gu Nanyu. Yi Mengying interjected with displeasure upon hearing that. ¡°You are the one who has him subdued and not the other way round!¡± ¡°He started it. I was just defending myself. Look, there is a surveillance camera right above you. The policemen are not blind, they can judge for themselves,¡± warned Gu Nanyu as she nudged her chin to indicate the direction of the camera. Yi Mengying stomped her foot in annoyance but could not think of a way out. Ling Hao panicked at the thought of being taken to the police station. It would be absolutely negative publicity if the police were involved. His filming career had just started. A scandal involving the police would be extremely prejudicial to him. Furthermore, his bad break-up with Yang Jingyue would also be exposed to the press! === We will continue to update the following chapters on patreon.

He should resolve the incident before they drew more attention. ¡°Ling Hao is a scumbag among jerks, a jerk among scumbags,¡± repeated Ling Hao. He was so infuriated that murdering Gu Nanyu was not entirely out of the question! ¡°You had it backward,¡± said Gu Nanyu casually. ¡°What?¡± Ling Hao frowned. ¡°It should be ¡®jerk among scumbags¡¯ first, followed by ¡®scumbag among jerks¡¯,¡± reminded Gu Nanyu. Ling Hao was rendered speechless. It was only after Ling Hao had complied with Gu Nanyu¡¯s demand that she decided to release him. After he was freed, Ling Hao stared daggers at Gu Nanyu. However, he did not dare to attack Gu Nanyu again. ¡°Just wait and see, kid, I won¡¯t let you get away with this,¡± threatened Ling Hao before giving Yang Jingyue a glare. Then, both Ling Hao and Yi Mengying left. Yang Jingyue¡¯s eyes were full of gratitude when she turned to look at Gu Nanyu. If not for Gu Nanyu¡¯s act, she would have been mocked to death by the pair. ¡°Thank you,¡± said Yang Jingyue. Then, she bowed gratefully. Something fell out of her pocket when she took the bow. Gu Nanyu crouched to pick up the object. To her surprise, it was a student ID card of A University in Beijing. ¡°Are you from A University?¡± Gu Nanyu had always assumed that she left school to work at this place. Yang Jingyue seemed embarrassed and replied uneasily, ¡°I had a disagreement with my family. I am now working part-time to fund my studies.¡± Realization dawned on Gu Nanyu. The root cause of Yang Jingyue¡¯s quarrel with her family must have been the scumbag, Ling Hao.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Noticing Yang Jingyue¡¯s anxiety, Gu Nanyu intended to tell her a joke to put her mind at ease. ¡°What faculty are you in?¡± ¡°Faculty of Media.¡± ¡°Lies! You obviously belong to the Faculty of Medicine,¡± said Gu Nanyu with a light smile. Yang Jingyue was confused. Then, a smile of realization graced her lips and lit up her eyes. All her anxiety was swept away. Fu Beichen continued staring from a distance. Upon hearing the two¡¯s conversation, he was reminded of the scene earlier today, when Gu Nanyu was being chased and beaten by several young women. She had called it ¡®love affairs¡¯. Now he was certain that Gu Nanyu deserved it. Fu Beichen turned around and returned to his car. Gu Nanyu heard the slam of the car door but did not bother to turn around. Instead, she bade Yang Jingue goodbye. ¡°Ignore that scumbag in the future. I got to go. Perhaps we shall see each other again at A University.¡± ¡°Your friend has left with the car. How are you supposed to get home?¡± asked Yang Jingyue while looking at the moving vehicle. ¡°He is no friend of mine. I am walking home,¡± replied Gu Nanyu. Yang Jingyue looked at her before pointing at one of the bicycles parked beside the cafe and suggested, ¡°I can send you home on my bicycle if you don¡¯t mind.¡± Gu Nanyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± In the end, Gu Nanyu pedaled the bicycle down the road with Yang Jingyue seated at the back. Gu Nanyu wore a plaid shirt and a pair of bluish-white jeans, radiating warmth like sunshine. They had a joyful conversation about the amusing anecdotes in A University throughout the journey. Fu Beichen was driving slowly so Gu Nanyu overtook him with her bicycle. Fu Beichen wound down the car window when he noticed her. Gu Nanyu was humming a song when she passed by Fu Beichen¡¯s car. She gave him a side-glance and a wink. Only after Gu Nanyu was gone did Fu Beichen make out the words of the song she was singing. The skies are bright and clear, the earth is rolling wide. My love undulates like the sea, my heart is wild and free. This song is beautiful and melodious, the music is roaring loud. My soul has cut away all reins, even the gods have thrown caution to the wind. My love undulates like the sea, my heart is wild and free. I want to become a ray of light, that flashes away all my wounds. ¡­ This is the feel, it is twice as pleasant. This is the feel, it is many many times as pleasant... === Dear readers: From Chapter 31, the following chapters will be released on Patreon.
