Chapter 124 - 124: Willing to Marry You as My Consort
Gu Zhixin was choked, his face turning pale and green alternately.
Qitian Yu, who was standing beside him, naturally hoped that Gu Zhixin would quickly kowtow and apologize so that Gu Qingluan would let them go.
But he had a feeling that she wouldn’t let them off so easily.
This woman was completely different from five years ago as if she had become a completely different person.
Was she too deeply affected?
Did she really have no feelings left for him?
Qitian Yu clenched his fists.
He couldn’t believe that her feelings for him would be completely abandoned.
Taking a deep breath, Qitian Yu suppressed his killing intent and anger, raising his eyes with deep affection, “Qingluan, seeing you like this, it really pains me… I know what you want. Stop making one mistake after another! As long as you let go of your resentment, I am willing to marry you as my consort!”
He believed he was emanating profound affection, yet unbeknownst to him, his face displayed no trace of attractiveness at that moment, rendering his attempt at appearing affectionate rather ludicrous.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but laugh.
How shameless was this man? Did he think he was made of gold and everyone desired him?
“Fifth Prince, perhaps you should first take a look in the mirror!” Gu Qingluan interrupted his words.
Qitian Yu touched his face and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Even without looking, he knew that his face must have been damaged.
Was it because of this that Gu Qingluan was unmoved?
He furrowed his brows; this was a difficult situation.
“Qingluan, this injury is temporary. The specially made ointment from the imperial physician can reduce swelling and bruises. In a few days, it will subside. Just wait a few days for me…” Qitian Yu tried to explain.
“I think the Fifth Prince didn’t understand what 1 meant,” Gu Qingluan interrupted.
Qitian Yu looked at her blankly.
“Your audacious nature, so thick-skinned, that even a single encounter has sated my appetite. 1 have no interest in seeing you every day!”
Qitian Yu’s face flushed red.
“Don’t go too far!”
“Stop the nonsense. If you want to leave the Gu Residence, kneel down, kowtow, and apologize. 1’11 count to three, and time is ticking.”
“One…”
“Two…”
Gu Zhixin saw that even the Fifth Prince couldn’t do anything to Gu Qingluan, so how could he stand firm? Before “three” came, he bent down and knocked his head heavily on the ground!
“I was wrong, Qingluan. Please don’t hold it against your Second Uncle.”
“What did you call me?”
“Qing…”
“Did you call me Qingluan?”
“Then… then call…”
“Call me Great Madam.”
Great, Great Madam?
Gu Zhixin’s face turned red.
He was furious!
“You’re unwilling to do so?” Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow, her voice turning cold.
Since Gu Zhixin had already kowtow, he shouldn’t give up halfway. Gu Zhixin decided to go all the way, shaking his head quickly, “No, no, Great Madam, I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!”
“What did you do wrong?”
Gu Zhixin was speechless.
“You don’t even know what you did wrong, so what are you apologizing for?”
Gu Zhixin felt angry. Didn’t she force him to apologize?
“Never mind, I don’t expect someone like you, with a block of wood for a brain, to understand. I’ll spare you this time, but if you speak nonsense in front of me again, it won’t be so easy to pass.”
Gu Zhixin let out a sigh of relief, setting aside his anger, and hurriedly asked, “Can we leave now?”
“You can go, but the person next to you hasn’t apologized yet.”
Qi Tianyu was appalled to see Gu Zhixin, without any shame or dignity, kneel down and apologize to Gu Qingluan, a junior. Moreover, he even referred to her as “Great Madam” in a respectful manner. Qi Tianyu felt deeply ashamed on Gu Zhixin’s behalf.
Suddenly, the topic turned to Qi Tianyu, and he felt at a loss, not knowing what to do.
“Three!”
