“Youran, don’t worry. If you become my woman, I’ll definitely treat you well.”

Gu Zimu walked closer step by step, his face carrying a gentleness that made He Youran’s scalp tingle.

She had never expected Gu Zimu to become like this.

In her impression, Gu Zimu was born with a noble background. Hewas reserved and polite. Even when they had shed all pretense of cordiality, he had maintained a good demeanor.

But today, he had brought up such a shameless condition.

Could it be because he loved her?

No.

He Youran sneered in her heart.

If he loved her, he wouldn’t have allowed her to be bullied by Chen Meiyu five years ago. He wouldn’t have watched her go to jail, and never looked for her after she was released from prison.

That’s right, Gu Zimu only had possessiveness for her.

In Gu Zimu’s opinion, she was his pet and he could tease her as he pleased. But one day, this pet that he thought would never leave suddenly had another owner and even bared its fangs at him, the original owner.

So, Gu Zimu wasn’t willing to give up. He started to get angry and jealous, and he strongly wanted to compete with her new owner.

Why did she have to fulfill this boring competitive desire?

But, evil thoughts arose from lust. Her repeated rejections seemed to have become Gu Zimu’s inner demon, making him even more paranoid.

What should she do!

He Youran was very anxious.

Lu Shouxin was still under He Nantian’s threat, and Gu Zimu was eyeing her like a tiger. What should she do? Even if someone came to save her now, she didn’t know how to break this stalemate!

“Gu Zimu! Stop! Stay away!”

He Youran resisted and stepped back, but behind her was an endless sea. Where else could she retreat to?

“Ran Ran…” Gu Zimu suddenly called out to her sweetly.

His expression was gentle, and his eyes were focused, as if their differences had never happened. However, the excitement and desire in his eyes reflected his abnormality.

“He Nantian! Are you just going to watch from over there?” He Youran looked at He Nantian and asked loudly.

Even though she was extremely disappointed in He Nantian, she couldn’t help but hope that He Nantian could help her at this moment.

He Nantian turned his head away and simply reached out to cover Lu Shouxin’s eyes.

At this moment, Gu Zimu had already walked up to He Youran.

He gently caressed He Youran’s face, but she did not hesitate to push him away.

Gu Zimu’s face flashed with displeasure, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said gently,

“Youran, don’t resist. The bastard you gave birth to still has a knife on his neck.”

He Youran glanced at Lu Shouxin. As expected, He Nantian increased his strength to strangle him, and the blood line on Lu Shouxin’s neck deepened.

“Don’t hurt him!” He Youran screamed.

“If you want to save the little bastard’s life, you have to be obedient.” Gu Zimu took out his belt and measured it in front of He Youran. Seeing that she did not resist, he slowly tied her wrist with the belt.

“Youran, I also want to be gentle, but today’s situation is special. I don’t want your resistance to be too strong and ruin my mood.”

“Gu Zimu, don’t be like this, okay?”

Gu Zimu’s gaze was too serious, so serious that He Youran was scared. She tried to persuade him.

“Lu Qingzhuo and I are indeed in a contractual marriage. I don’t like him either. As long as you let me go, I…” She gritted her teeth and promised, “I can transfer my mother’s pharmaceutical factory to the Gu family.”

The Gu family had always wanted that pharmaceutical factory, and this temptation was very tempting to Gu Zimu.

He hesitated for a moment, which was rare, before he stopped.

Seeing that he had a reaction, He Youran continued,

“Just like my father said, even if we break off our relationship verbally, the law won’t recognize it. With the pharmaceutical factory’s contract, you can still propose marriage to the He family.”

“But you are already married to Lu Qingzhuo,” Gu Zimu said softly.
