C2 I Want You to Marry Me

With a "Hua La" sound, the photo frame on the bedside table was accidentally swung down by Xia Anran. The crisp sound of glass shattering could be heard.

Gu Zichen suddenly raised his body and stretched his arm towards the bed. However, he was still a step too late and the photo frame shattered.

Xia Anran saw the man reach for the photo frame, ignoring the broken glass. "Watch out!"

Gu Zichen picked up the broken photo frame as if it was a treasure. Inside, there was a picture of a girl. Her gentle smile seemed to be able to make people's heart warm.

"Qing Qing …" The man's voice was deep and seemed to carry a sense of nostalgia.

Obviously, the gentle girl in the photo was Gu Zichen's first love and Xia Anran played the main role.

She suddenly stood up, wrapped the torn clothes around her body and walked out. Gu Zichen immediately grabbed her wrist and said with a cold tone:

"Did I let you go?"

The corner of Xia Anran's mouth curled up into a smile, "Director Gu, you've already gone up to meet me. What else do you want?"

It was enough to be someone else's substitute. She, Xia Anran, loathed being someone else's shadow the most!

Those stubborn and crafty clear eyes reflected the man's well-defined face. Although the girl was soft and weak, she still liked to proudly raise her neck like a swan that refused to admit defeat.

Gu Zichen suddenly bent over and whispered into Xia Anran's ear, "Woman, I like your body very much. How about getting married to me?"

If it wasn't for his grandmother, how could he have met this woman!

In the end, there was some unspeakable similarities between this woman and her inner self.

Ah, he had let her off easy!

Gu Zichen's heart was filled with ridicule and his face was as cold as a knife.

Xia Anran's eyes widened in shock. She looked at him in disbelief, but then she sneered at herself.

Men only used her as a substitute, so it was better for him to give up on these unrealistic fantasies.

Gu Zichen looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Xia Anran, if you marry me, then I will write off the debts of Xia's Group."

"Really?" Xia Anran cunningly blinked her large, watery eyes as her thoughts raced.

If being married to a man meant that she would be able to get rid of her debts completely, she would be able to get married and get divorced immediately. Wouldn't that make it easy for her to get rid of these debts?

Looking at Xia Anran's weird expression, Gu Zichen smirked and said:

"Don't think about any tricks, and don't think about any crooked ideas either. Otherwise, I will make my Xia's Group completely disappear from River City."

The man's simple sentence made Xia Anran feel the killing intent of his enemy. She felt a chill down her spine.

"Then... "How long are you going to be my husband and wife?"

Looking at Xia Anran's uneasy look and her bright eyes like a little rabbit, Gu Zichen's thin lips curled up: "Of course, forever."

A lifetime? Was he going to be a double forever, living in the shadow of someone else?

Unlike the first night he sold himself, marriage was a lifelong matter.

Xia Anran thought of her distant lover, Huo Sicheng. They had reached the point of talking about marriage, and she had imagined a happy life together after their first love.

Who would have thought that the world would change so much that she would end up like this?

"I... I'll think about it again. " Xia Anran sighed, feeling a little depressed in her heart.

Gu Zichen's dark eyes glanced at her. The little girl had clearly been distracted just now, who was she thinking about?

He sneered and pulled Xia Anran back onto the bed. His slender fingers pinched her porcelain cheeks and his thin lips parted slightly.

"I will only give you three days. Three days later, whether you want freedom or the company, you can choose."

With that, he fiercely held the girl's lips and continued this night of chaos.

It had been a long time since Gu Zichen had such a peaceful sleep. The fragrance of the girl beside him made him feel inexplicably safe.

In the dream, he once again saw that pair of clear and bright eyes, as well as the girl's young but firm voice:

"Draw my blood. As long as I can save him, I don't care how many times I draw!"

It was these clear eyes that accompanied Gu Zichen through his most difficult period when he was seriously injured in a car accident.

After he recovered from his injuries, he finally found the person who gave him the blood. It was Guan Qingqing, the daughter of the babysitter.

Xia Anran's eyes were as clear as Guan Qingqing's, so Gu Zichen believed that he unconsciously saw this woman as a substitute for Guan Qingqing …

On the morning of the second day, Xia Anran opened her cunning cat eyes, her gaze falling upon the face of the man so close to her.

Gu Zichen's angular face appeared exceptionally soft in his sleep. His thick eyelashes quietly fell on his eyelids, giving him a childish appearance.

The man's arm was tightly wrapped around Xia Anran's waist, as if he was worried she would run away.

Xia Anran's heart warmed a little. Then, she saw Gu Zichen's thin lips spit out two words: "Qingqing …"

"Damn brat, you're treating me as a substitute again." Xia Anran said angrily as she waved her fist.

She was furious, so she grabbed her clothes and wrapped them up before she hurried out. There were still three days left before the man gave her time. Xia Anran didn't want to be together with Gu Zichen at all times.

Xia Anran's clothes were torn apart by the man. Her cotton dress was like a rag. She had a 100% chance of looking back on the road.

Not long after she left, Gu Zichen, who had lost the temperature of the girl, frowned uneasily and slowly woke up.

He looked at the empty spot in his arms, and a hint of panic flashed through his heart. It was as if something very important to him had disappeared once again.

When Guan Qingqing left the country without saying goodbye, Gu Zichen had never felt this flustered.

"That damnable woman, how dare she disappear after playing with me." With a sneer, the man picked up his phone and dialed Xia Anran's number.

The man swore to let Xia Anran know that the woman he, Gu Zichen, fancied would definitely get her.

However, he kept the woman by his side, guarding her for the rest of his life, lest she disappear like Guan Qingqing.

At this moment, Xia Anran had just reached her house when her cell phone rang sharply, causing her to almost jump in fright.

She took out her cell phone and saw two words on the screen — "Hubby."

"Hubby? Who is this? " Xia Anran frowned. After pressing the answer button, a deep voice came from the other side.

"Xia Anran, who gave you the guts to leave without saying goodbye?"

Hearing that, Xia Anran was a little shocked. What did Gu Zichen know his cell phone number? Furthermore, he had such a numb title.

"Xia Anran, let me ask you, are you deaf?" Gu Zichen said impatiently when he didn't hear the girl's reply.

"I'll go home first." Xia Anran wasn't the least bit frightened by the man's imposing manner.

The man said coldly, "Very well, I'll make you regret it."
