Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession-Chapter 569: Why Now
"A Yao?"
At this moment, Bai Chenyao, whose usually deep and dark eyes now stared directly at her, clear and cool like water, exceptionally bright.
Gu Tiantian could even see her own weary face reflected in those bright black eyes.
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Gu Tiantian quickly grabbed Bai Chenyao’s hand, her voice softening.
"A Yao, do you still recognize me?"
Bai Chenyao quietly looked at Gu Tiantian. Gu Tiantian kept waiting, but quite a while passed, and she realized Bai Chenyao was still just looking at her quietly, not saying a word.
Gu Tiantian felt her heart leap to her throat.
Impossible!
How could Bai Chenyao be so out of it?
"A Yao, it’s me, Tian Tian, Gu Tiantian!"
"A Yao?"
Gu Tiantian called out several more times, but found that Bai Chenyao still just looked at her quietly, his bright black eyes as pure and clear as a child’s, as clean as the sky after rain.
If Gu Tiantian had seen such an expression in Bai Chenyao’s eyes before, perhaps things between them wouldn’t have become so strained later on.
But now...
Why now!
Her heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, filled with all sorts of discomfort.
Just as she was about to speak to Bai Chenyao again, she heard Wang Chun from the side.
"Alright, alright, I told you he’s gone silly, and won’t get better, but you just won’t believe it!"
"By the way, little girl, you’re called Gu Tiantian, right? How old are you?"
Knowing that Wang Chun only saw her as a tool for childbirth, Gu Tiantian felt no goodwill towards Wang Chun. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
She couldn’t even understand how, as a woman herself, Wang Chun viewed women as mere tools for childbirth, and that being unable to have a son basically rendered them useless.
"Turning twenty-one this year!"
Gu Tiantian’s voice was neither warm nor cold, her gaze fixed intently on Bai Chenyao, hoping to catch some other reaction on his face.
But no matter how she looked, he did nothing but look at her quietly, blinking his bright black eyes, continuing to gaze at her quietly.
Gu Tiantian was about to lose her mind!
She and Bai Chenyao certainly couldn’t follow Li Das and Wang Chun back to their village.
Otherwise, one would become a tool for childbirth, and the other free labor.
Especially now, with Bai Chenyao’s mind in such a state.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind; Gu Tiantian tried her best to control her anger and turned to Wang Chun.
"Auntie, which county and town in Shengjing City is your village?"
Gu Tiantian hadn’t expected that as soon as she asked this question, Wang Chun’s face changed instantly, and she stared at her with extreme wariness.
"Why are you asking all that? Planning on running away? Ha, I’m telling you, no way!"
Seeing Wang Chun’s instant change of expression, Gu Tiantian knew she had asked the wrong question.
But she never expected Wang Chun to be so domineering. After all, they were all adults; were they really thinking of forcing them to stay?
From Wang Chun’s words, Gu Tiantian was certain Wang Chun meant for them not to think about leaving.
At that thought, a warning rose in Gu Tiantian’s heart.
Just then, Li Das entered with his two children from outside, and as soon as Li Zhu saw Gu Tiantian, he rushed to her.
"Wife, wife, you are mine, mine alone!"
The repeated calls of "wife" from Li Zhu gave Gu Tiantian goosebumps all over, and she instinctively moved a little inward.
By doing so, she inadvertently leaned closer to Bai Chenyao.
