"Hey! I haven't even lost my temper yet, and you dare to blow up at me? Do you really think I'm that easy to bully..."
Lin Fan was already feeling wronged and depressed, and Gu Qingcheng's shout only infuriated him!
However, when Lin Fan suddenly turned his head, ready to have a serious talk about divorce with his "bride," the familiar and captivating face that entered his view left him stunned as if struck by lightning!
With tightly pressed lips, her face prettier than a flower glowed red, partially due to anger. She tilted her head with her arms crossed, making the pushed-up curves even more prominent, paired with the festive bridal attire, she resembled a celestial maiden!
"Qingcheng..."
Lin Fan felt a bit parched, and his voice carried a hoarse tinge!
"Hmph! Who gave you permission to call me by my name? Believe it or not, I..."
Gu Qingcheng turned her head in anger, about to say "smack you," but froze when she saw the handsome face Zhao Simeng dreamed of. The words were swallowed back down!
Their eyes met, sparks flew, and a burning flame was kindled instantly, making the room temperature seem to rise dramatically!
Gu Qingcheng subconsciously rubbed her eyes, afraid she might be seeing wrong. But when she truly saw it was Lin Fan standing before her, her beautiful eyes reddened involuntarily. The grievances in her heart from being forced into marriage surged up, and her eyes misted over with a sheen of rain-like tears!
"How... how is it you?" Gu Qingcheng trembled in her speech, not yet snapping out of the astonishment and joy.
Observing the situation, Lin Fan could only smile bitterly, realizing his fuss was all for naught. The person he ended up marrying was his own woman, his headache saving him a lifetime of regret for almost fleeing.
"Yes, it's you!" Lin Fan responded with a touch of bitterness.
"What... what exactly is going on? The person I'm marrying... turns out to be you?" Gu Qingcheng was still a bit incredulous.
Immediately, Lin Fan recounted the whole process to Gu Qingcheng in detail, recalling the entire incident, and they both exchanged helpless smiles as their eyes met again!
Unexpectedly, after all the farce, fate favored the destined ones, and the person he married turned out to be the one he loved the most. This was truly a grand misunderstanding!
Lin Fan couldn't help but speculate how the old lady, Master Qin Yin, who made him marry, would react upon finding out his relationship with Gu Qingcheng. Just the thought excited him!
However, this also solved a mystery for Lin Fan. No wonder he couldn't find any background information on Gu Qingcheng—it turned out she was from the Martial World, and with so many people in her sect to feed, there were naturally many commercial channels for earning money.
This explains Gu Qingcheng's sudden rise from obscurity; the deep foundations of the Celestial Tower certainly made supporting a group easy!
Once things were clarified, Lin Fan and Gu Qingcheng no longer felt restrained and returned to their usual state!
Lin Fan suddenly reached out, grasping Gu Qingcheng's jade-like hand, and with a gentle pull, he heard her let out a "Yah" before falling into his embrace. Her soft little rear sat comfortably on Lin Fan's lap, more so than expected!
Lin Fan's sudden move made a blush spread across Gu Qingcheng's pretty face, as their identities had undergone a dramatic change; Gu Qingcheng once thought of herself as a mistress, but now they were officially husband and wife!
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of her past with Lin Fan, her charming face gradually displaying a sweet hue. She hadn't expected to reach a relationship with Lin Fan ahead of the other women around him.
Gu Qingcheng didn't know if it was luck or...
The relationship between Lin Fan and Gu Qingcheng had long reached a stage where they intimately understood each other. Holding Gu Qingcheng's delicate body, he greedily inhaled the captivating fragrance on her, his hand naturally gliding up her thigh. Even through the fabric, Lin Fan could clearly feel the warmth of Gu Qingcheng's skin!
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's pensive expression, Lin Fan asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing," Gu Qingcheng shook her head.
Lin Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you're the Miss of the Celestial Tower, you were the one who gave me the 'sheepskin scroll' during that fight, right?"
"Yes, it was me!" Gu Qingcheng nodded.
"Heh! Miss Gu, why didn't you reveal your identity to me that night? Were you trying to trick me?" Lin Fan asked with some annoyance.
Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng thought Lin Fan was angry; she quickly turned her head and explained in a fluster, "No... no! How could I trick you? It's just... I was afraid that if I suddenly revealed my identity, you might not be able to accept it, so... can you forgive me?"
"Pfft~"
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's frantic and guilty look, Lin Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm laughing at what a silly fool you are! Silly girl, you're my wife, where's the need for forgiveness between us? Plus... you didn't do anything wrong; I was just teasing you!" Lin Fan said jokingly with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph! You bad man!"
Gu Qingcheng playfully punched Lin Fan on the shoulder with her small pink fist!
Then, Gu Qingcheng suddenly raised an eyebrow, frowning at Lin Fan, "By the way! I heard you're also from the Martial World; what's going on? Aren't you from the Dark Realm?"
"Actually... I'm from the Martial World too; I grew up there," Lin Fan said.
"Then which sect are you from?" Gu Qingcheng asked with some anticipation.
"The Sun and Moon Divine Sect..." Lin Fan didn't hide it and chose to be honest!
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng's expression changed dramatically!
One Hall, One Sect, Two Towers, Four Gates—being the top-ranked forces in the Martial World, despite the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect" not being as powerful as a hundred years ago, the name alone is enough to strike fear into people!
Moreover, unlike places like the Celestial Tower, the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect" had been shrouded in mystery since ancient times; no one knew its exact location, but whenever something significant happened in the Martial World, the presence of the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect" was inevitable!
"Hmph! Weren't you hiding your identity from me too?" Gu Qingcheng feigned anger, pouting slightly, and huffed coldly.
"Heh! Actually, I don't like bringing up this identity, as it's been over five years since I've last been back..." Lin Fan's mouth twitched a few times, smiling bitterly.
The homeland he grew up in, how could Lin Fan not long for it?
That memory was the oldest pain buried in Lin Fan's heart, as well as the starting point of his dreams!
