Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Miss Fourth, please mind your words!” Qitian Yu’s face turned ashen as he glared at her.
Gu Jinyue, with teary eyes, exclaimed, “You dare to scold me for the sake of that shameless woman! What makes her better than me?”
She had always admired the Fifth Prince, which was why she repeatedly bullied Gu Qingluan, especially since Gu Qingluan, despite being a useless waste, was the Fifth Prince’s fiancee.
She envied Gu Qingluan.
So when Gu Qingluan encountered trouble, she was overjoyed.
As she had anticipated, the Fifth Prince broke off their engagement.
After five years, Gu Qingluan returned with an illegitimate child.
Even if Gu Qingluan had become stronger, so what?
It couldn’t change her past promiscuous actions!
The Fifth Prince was angry with her five years ago, so why was he now standing up for Gu Qingluan?
Recently, it was obvious that the Fifth Prince had shown interest in Gu Jinyue, so she believed that he liked her.
Gu Jinyue felt both jealous and wronged, wishing she could peel Gu Qingluan’s skin and draw her blood.
If Gu Qingluan hadn’t returned, the Fifth Prince would never have changed his heart!
Qitian Yu frowned, “Miss Fourth is indeed exceptional, but emotions are unpredictable. I developed deep feelings for Gu Qingluan only after she disappeared. Now that I have the chance to rekindle our relationship, I don’t want to give up.”
He turned to Gu Zhicheng with sincerity in his eyes. “I hope Master Gu can put aside past grievances for the sake of this prince and the royal family’s reputation. If Gu Qingluan has done anything wrong, I will apologize to Master Gu after marrying her in the future.”
Who wouldn’t be moved by the appearance of a handsome, noble, and affectionate man?
If Gu Zhicheng didn’t know the truth, he would have fallen for Qitian Yu’s lies.
No one else knew about the secret plotting between Gu Zhicheng and Qitian Yu.
Even Su Lie, Bo He, and others were slightly taken aback.
On the contrary, Gu Jinyue was devastated.
What an unpredictable emotion!
During the time when Gu Qingluan was absent, why did the Fifth Prince frequently engage in ambiguous interactions with her?
Gu Jinyue wouldn’t blame Qitian Yu; she would only attribute the fault to Gu Qingluan.
If Gu Qingluan hadn’t appeared, the Fifth Prince would never have fallen in love with someone else!
Years of aspirations shattered, and the string of rationality in Gu Jinyue’s mind snapped.
She rushed towards Gu Xiaonan, her palms emanating a faint light.
As if she wanted to take Gu Xiaonan’s life!
“Do not harm Young Master!” Su Lie and the other guards were shocked, trying to intervene.
However, they were not quick enough; it was too late!
Gu Zhicheng was about to protect Gu Xiaonan, but when he saw the Fifth Prince charging towards them, his gaze flickered for a moment, halting his steps.
“Miss Fourth, stop!”
Qitian Yu’s voice turned stern as he swiftly retaliated, delivering a powerful palm strike against Gu Jinyue.
Caught off guard, Gu Jinyue was defenseless in close proximity to him.
However, just as Gu Jinyue’s attack was about to reach Gu Xiaonan, Qitian Yu swiftly countered, striking her back with equal force.
“Yue’ er!”
Gu Zhixin and his son’s eyes were filled with fury.
The scene before them seemed to slow down, with Gu Jinyue’s body freezing in mid-air.
Splat!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out!
Gu Jinyue involuntarily fell.
Gu Jinrong caught her, repeatedly calling out, “Yue’ er! Yue’ er! How are you?”
Gu Zhixin also rushed over, anxiously looking at her.
Meanwhile, Qitian Yu hurriedly approached Gu Xiaonan and asked worriedly, “Are you Xiaonan? Are you injured?”
Having witnessed the entire sequence of events, Gu Xiaonan found himself in a state of bewildered confusion. He was aware that something significant had transpired, but the true nature of the situation eluded him.
Didn’t Yuanxi say that this Fifth Prince was a villain?
Then why did he save him?
