C10 Questioning

"I should ask you that." The man's suppression didn't relax at all. Instead, he grew even tighter. His brows furrowed as he looked at Gu Wanan as if she was some sort of filth.

Gu Wan An's heart was stung. Considering her safety, she quietly moved back by an inch. Duan Yi Chen followed closely behind, and with that, he covered her beneath him.

As Gu Wan'an searched for a safe posture, she quickly analyzed the reason for his sudden outburst.

Ask her?

What did she know?

Funny.

Even marrying Duan Yi Chen was something she only found out a few minutes ago.

While she was thinking, her mood relaxed and her drowsy mind gradually cleared up.

"Young Master Duan, if you have any instructions, feel free to speak your mind." Seeing that she had no chance to escape, she simply sat up straighter and faced Duan Yi with an unperturbed expression on her face.

Seeing her so unperturbed, Duan Yi Chen was first taken aback. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but when he thought of Gu Wanyan's red eyes, his doubt was quickly suppressed by anger and doubt.

Duan Yi Chen fiercely grabbed Gu Wan An's hand and pressed it against her head, pressing his body down even more. The tip of their noses were only a millimeter apart, and the sounds of each other's breathing could clearly be heard.

The close distance made Gu Wan'an feel uncomfortable. She turned her head to the side without leaving a trace, but the man still caught her subtle movements. The man squeezed out word by word from between his teeth, "Wan Yan broke up with me."

Hm? Break up?

Hearing Duan Yi Chen's words, Gu Wan An couldn't care less about the distance and turned to face him, obviously questioning him.

But immediately, Gu Cheng Xian's suggestion popped up in her mind, and she quickly went through the whole situation.

So that's how it was.

Gu Cheng Xian doted on Gu Wanyan so much, so this matter must have been told to her a long time ago. As she thought of this, she sneered coldly, her movements were really quick. Now that she had splashed all the dirty water on top of Duan Yi Chen's prejudice, she had no reason to believe him.

"So?" Once she thought it through, it would be much easier to deal with them. Gu Wan'an changed her initial panic and revealed a relaxed smile. The schadenfreude in her eyes was very appropriate.

As if he didn't expect her to be so calm, Duan Yi Chen's hands loosened for a moment before he gripped it tightly. He fiercely glared at her with a conflicted expression on his face, and his brows furrowed even deeper. "You dare to play with me?"

When he said this, his eyes were filled with anger, as well as an indescribable emotion.

It seemed like he was disappointed, but there was also helplessness in his expression.

Of course, at this moment, Duan Yi Chen's mind was filled with rage.

He had clearly promised not to leak this matter to Gu Wanyan, but as soon as he made the promise, Gu Wanyan came to break up with him. No matter how hard he tried, Gu Wanyan just sobbed and didn't get a single reason.

Thinking of Gu Wanyan sobbing and her red, swollen eyes, Duan Yi Chen didn't know what other reason could explain Gu Wanyan's abnormality other than that she had betrayed him.

He had always thought that Gu Wanan was just a bit bold, but he didn't think that her inner qualities would be so despicable.

As he thought up to this point, Duan Yi Chen's gaze darkened when he saw Gu Wan'an. His gaze swept across her face, wishing he could tear her apart and swallow her whole.

In comparison, Gu Wan'an was much calmer. Duan Yi Chen's words were like a joke in her ears. Playing with him? How could she have the qualifications to mess with him, a dignified young master Duan?

"Young master Duan, I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm playing with you?" The sneer on Gu Wanyan's face became even more pronounced when she thought of Gu Wanyan's complacent smile. The more they didn't want her to have a good time, the more she wanted to show off.

Duan Yi Chen snorted coldly. "How did you promise me that? And yet, you're going to snitch on me as soon as you turn around?"

A small report? What little report? Gu Wanan froze in midair.

Gu Wanan, who had thought things through, didn't understand. Gu Wanyan should have known about her marriage to Duan Yi Chen earlier than she did. Or is it …

Duan Yi Chen quickly answered her question, "That night was a misunderstanding. Even if it happened a few more times, I still wouldn't fall for you. Just give up."

"..." Oh.

Gu Wanan completely understood what he was angry about.

So it was a misunderstanding. She had told Gu Wanyan about what had happened that night.

You don't trust her that much? Or was she still the same shameless little girl who had pestered him in his heart?

"If I said I didn't," Gu Wanan suddenly said dryly. Although she still had a smile on her face, the emotions in her eyes were much more fragile. "Would you believe me?"

Her expression softened, as if she had been cautious before. Her tone was full of probing. Her brashness from a second ago had completely disappeared. The dim yellow light magnified her softness.

Gu Wanan in this way would always give Duan Yi the illusion that she was that little girl from that year, but it was only an illusion. After a brief moment of blankness, he quickly sneered. "What do you think?"

Heh. Humans were like this. Even though they were riddled with injuries, they still couldn't ignore the opportunity. Of course, the result was the same as always, only the wound was bigger.

Gu Wan'an's unrealistic delusions were instantly strangled in the cradle. She quickly switched to a perfect smile. "I think that's impossible."

Although she said that with a smile and tried her best not to show it on her face, Gu Wanan still felt a little frustrated.

He had loved this man for ten years, and if he were to let go of his love for ten years, wouldn't that be a lie?

She just didn't expect that after all, the two of them had known each other for so long, he didn't even have the basic trust in her.

It was impossible not to feel wronged.

It was this grievance that gave rise to her courage to deny it after a short moment of thought. Therefore, while Duan Yi Chen was waiting for her to apologize, she raised her head and put on a brave front without fear of death, "But this is the truth. I didn't say a single word to her. With regards to the events of that night, she purposefully paused for a moment before exchanging a glance with Duan Yi Chen. A provocative smile slowly appeared on her face as she said, "I disdain mentioning it."

The man's expression narrowed when she finished.

This sentence completely infuriated Duan Yi Chen.

"You, say that again." Duan Yi Chen's face was so dark that Gu Wan'an was finally slightly flustered, but the words were spoken by her, and she was about to finish even while kneeling. "I disdain mentioning it."

His tone was clearly weaker than before.

"Hiss — —" As soon as Gu Wan'an finished her sentence, she couldn't help but exclaim lightly. Duan Yi Chen suddenly exerted all his strength, as if he wanted to break her wrist. "Release!"

In Duan Yi Chen's eyes, her struggle was like playing house.
