Chapter 40: Not The Kind Of Woman You Imagined Chapter 40: Not The Kind Of Woman You Imagined Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xu Zhiyin lowered her head and thought there wasn’t a need to explain to Ji Liunian that she was here to work.
“That is my personal matter and it has nothing to do with you.” Ji Liunian had hurt her so deeply, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Ji Liunian could sense her enmity toward him and knew she was still mad at him for how he had treated her that day.
With good intention, he advised, “I just want to tell you that Gu Nantian is a man you can’t afford to mess with.
You’d better stay far away from him.” “He’s not a man I can’t afford to mess with?” He actually meant ‘You are not good enough for a man like Gu Nantian so you’d better stay away from him’ didn’t he?
After all, that was what Chuxia said about her previously!
How could she deserve an outstanding man like Ji Liunian?
Although Gu Nantian’s temper was not good, his looks, family, and financial background as well as his career were not inferior to those of Ji Liunian.
He was an outstanding man.
Xu Zhiyin answered sarcastically, “Then, tell me, what kind of men can I mess with?” She had devoted her life to love one man and what did she get in the end?
She did wish she could be with Gu Nantian but too bad, she couldn’t get herself to love him!
“Zhiyin,” Ji Liunian said seriously, “I’m giving you this advice because we had been husband and wife for three years.
You’ll regret one day if you choose to be with Gu Nantian.” “I’ve already done the thing I regretted the most in my entire life.
What more do I have to fear?
I don’t think there’s anything bad about Gu Nantian.
He’s rich, powerful and treats me well.
I like him.” She was not really in that sort of relationship with Gu Nantian.
However, in front of Ji Liunian, she couldn’t wait to get her pride back.
She didn’t want to be looked down upon by Ji Liunian.
He didn’t want her and in a split second, she found herself a better man than him.
He must be very disturbed.
When she didn’t take in what he said, Ji Liunian got angry.
“Do you know Gu Nantian well?
You’ve only known him for several days and you trust him?” “Does it mean you understand him well?” Xu Zhiyin had never heard Ji Liunian talking about Gu Nantian before.
“At least I know him better than you.
He’s not a good person.
If you choose to be with him, the results won’t be good.
If I were you, I’d stay far away from him.
I won’t want to mess with such a man.” Ji Liunian looked angry.
Xu Zhiyin didn’t know how her relationship with Gu Nantian could bother Ji Liunian.
“In my eyes, Gu Nantian is much better than you.” She said Gu Nantian was better than him?
Ji Liunian almost fainted.
“Are you in a fit of pique?
Although I’ve chosen Chuxia, I still won’t harm you.
Are you sure Gu Nantian won’t harm you?
Please go out there and ask around about him.
Who in this world will say that he’s a good person?
You and Gu Nantian do not belong in the same world!
It’s impossible for him to treat you well!” “Thank you for your reminder.
However, this is my problem.” Xu Zhiyin’s heart softened when she saw Ji Liunian’s care for her.
She had grown up together with Ji Liunian.
He might really be concerned about her.
Although he didn’t love her, he still treated her as his family and friend.
However, even if she wished to draw a line between her and Gu Nantian, Gu Nantian would not let her go!
Moreover, she had signed the contract.
Before Gu Nantian regained his memory, how could she waywardly leave?
“Zhiyin…” Ji Liunian’s heart ached.
In the past, Xu Zhiyin would listen to whatever he said.
But now… Did she really hate him?
He didn’t think he had done something wrong.
After all, he had not treated her badly these three years.
As for the divorce, they had an agreement when they got married.
Their marriage was only a deal and could not be taken as a real marriage.
However, because of this matter, he was now feeling uncomfortable.
Xu Zhiyin was afraid he would say more and quickly added, “I’ll consider this seriously.
I have to go.” Ji Liunian looked at her back as she left.
He wanted to grab her but his limbs froze.
Until Xu Zhiyin disappeared from his vision, Ji Liunian leaned against the fountain and lit a cigarette.
He didn’t usually smoke except for times he feels agitated.
*** It was with great difficulty that Gu Nantian got rid of the people staring at him and found a chance to slip away from the hall to look for Xu Zhiyin.
In the end, he didn’t find Xu Zhiyin but saw Ji Liunian smoking by the fountain.
Gu Nantian despised this man who only knew how to make Xu Zhiyin sad.
So, when he saw him, he didn’t bother to greet him.
“Mr.
Gu.” Ji Liunian put out the cigarette and took the initiative to move forward.
He called out to Gu Nantian who was about to leave.
Gu Nantian stopped and his indifferent eyes fell on Ji Liunian, “Is there anything I can do for you?” Ji Liunian took a few steps forward and stood in front of Gu Nantian.
He stretched out his hand for a handshake.
“Hello, I’m Ji Liunian.
We’ve met before.” Gu Nantian did not give him face and did not shake his hand.
He merely said coldly, “I’m sorry.
My memory isn’t good.
Have we met?” When Gu Nantian said this, he was not being too extreme because except knowing that Ji Liunian was Xu Zhiyin’s ex-husband, he knew nothing of Ji Liunian.
He didn’t understand why Ji Liunian wanted to start a conversation with him.
What did he want?
Ji Liunian’s attitude was friendly.
“Zhiyin is my little sister.
She’s a good girl and she’s not the same type of person as Mr.
Gu.
So, I hope you don’t hurt her.” “You little sister?” It was like the biggest joke to Gu Nantian.
“Is she your little sister or your ex-wife?
You abandoned her and you are advising me not to hurt her?” “I’ve wronged her but I’ve seen her grown up since young.
She’s a good girl and not the type of woman Mr.
Gu has dated in the past.
So, I really hope Mr.
Gu could let Zhiyin go for my sake.” “Let go of her?” Gu Nantian said sarcastically, “You don’t have to worry about that.
I’m keeping her by my side and will definitely treat her a hundred times better than you did.” Did he need this scumbag to hypocritically tell him how to treat his own wife?
“Really?” Ji Liunian looked at Gu Nantian doubtfully.
Gu Nantian didn’t feel the same as the one he had previously met.
Was he pretending to gain Xu Zhiyin’s trust?
Was Gu Nantian thinking he could get useful information about him through his ex-wife?
Anyway, he didn’t believe Gu Nantian’s sincerity toward Xu Zhiyin.
“With your identity, there’s no need to play with a little girl’s feelings.
Who doesn’t know that you love Gu Xinyi?
Zhiyin is naïve and doesn’t know anything about the Ji family’s matters.
If you wish to dig for information through her, let me advise you not to waste your effort.” “So?” Gu Nantian looked curiously at Ji Liunian.
“You said all this because you want me to let her go?
Have you regretted letting her go after seeing her with me?”
