After his death, he couldn’t even become a ghost. There was no place for him in the Six Realms. He would completely disappear from this world, unable to leave even a trace of his soul. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⟡fire.net
Seeing Gu Sheng suddenly look as if he’d lost all vitality, Gu Yao’s heart skipped a beat, feeling an inexplicable panic.
"Second brother, I was just joking. I never intended to get married. Please don’t be angry. Not just for these two years; I don’t want to marry for my entire life."
"Silly girl, how can you not get married? Life is so long, do you really expect me to take care of you forever?"
Gu Sheng smiled, but it was a smile tinged with bitterness, mixed with heartache.
He truly never thought there would be a day he could say such words about marriage to Yaoyao.
For the past two years, the relationship between him and Gu Yao was like a taut string, easily snapping with a mere flick of a finger.
For the past two years, he had tormented Gu Yao as well as himself like a madman. He had never once calmed down, living every day in a state of neurosis.
Every day, hoping Gu Yao would give up pursuing Shangguan Yu, hoping he and Gu Yao could become close again.
Never has he considered letting her go because of her suicide attempt.
As his emotions with Gu Yao gradually recovered, he started to think rationally.
Maybe he truly was too extreme.
It’s time to sever those thoughts of never parting, even in death.
At this moment, does it seem like Gu Sheng has truly seen the light and let go?
In fact, it’s just that Gu Sheng knew he didn’t have long to live and would eventually have to part with Gu Yao. There was no way to possess Gu Yao, so he had to bow to reality and life.
From the moment he fell for Gu Yao, Gu Sheng became a madman.
He was indeed sick, and the source of his illness was Gu Yao.
If he hadn’t died two years later and Gu Yao really decided to marry, he would absolutely forget the words he said today and fight desperately to stop her, even if it hurt her again, he would still do it.
Don’t forget, he is Gu Sheng after all.
"Besides, if you don’t get married, people will gossip about you. Such a thing like gossip is the hardest for a young girl to bear. Marrying into a good family, having someone to love and care for you, isn’t that wonderful?"
"I’m not afraid of gossip. Besides, with my second brother around, who would dare to gossip about me? Moreover, no matter how much someone loves me, it can never match the love my second brother and elder brother have for me. Why should I marry?" Gu Yao pouted, speaking with a childish tone.
Clearly, although he said he hoped Gu Yao would find a good family to marry into in the future, hearing Gu Yao say she didn’t want to marry still made Gu Sheng smile.
A genuine happiness from the heart.
He couldn’t bring himself to say another word urging her to marry.
Because even if he did, it would just be a lie to deceive himself and Gu Yao against his true feelings.
Gu Sheng couldn’t be kind-hearted. He’d rather have Gu Yao stay in the Gu Family enduring gossip for a lifetime than to see her become someone else’s bride, rejoicing under another man.
His possessiveness and love for Gu Yao were always so twisted.
"It doesn’t matter whether you marry or not, as long as you’re happy."
"I’m very happy now. These days have been the most relaxed and joyful days I’ve had in the past two years."
Without Shangguan Yu, she could still live well, and slowly, she could live even better.
"Second brother, let’s go buy groceries and cook. I want to eat your pan-fried steak." Gu Yao reached out, took the spray bottle from Gu Sheng’s hand, placed it aside, and hooked her arm around his, stepping out onto the balcony.
"I’ll go back to the room to get my wallet."
"I will help you get it," Gu Yao said as she let go of Gu Sheng, trotted into his room, and came out shortly with his wallet.
Rejoining Gu Sheng, grabbing the keys, and heading out the door.
Gu Sheng kept smiling the whole time.
