Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 712 - 709 I’m sticking with you for life......

Gu Chen didn’t dare to think further; this was a very heavy topic for him.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. Looking down, he saw Gu Li biting down hard on his hand. Even though he had a high tolerance for pain, he couldn’t help but let out a stifled groan.

Soon, Gu Li let go of his hand, wiped the corner of her mouth, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

He nodded.

"That’s good. It means you’re still alive, so, if you say anything about dying again, I’ll run to the roof and jump off right now!"

"Don’t!" The moment he heard her threaten to jump from the roof, Gu Chen exclaimed in shock, leaping off the bed to pull Gu Li into a tight embrace.

"Why not? Since you’ve already arranged your affairs, and I just happen to not want to accept them, I might as well die in front of you. That way, you won’t have to worry endlessly about your surgery."

Gu Chen’s face turned slightly red, but he did not let go of her. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This was the first time she had willingly stayed in his arms, letting him hold her. Even if he had to steal the moment, he wanted to shamelessly hold onto her a little longer since he didn’t know how long it would be before he could hold her again.

However, it wasn’t long before Gu Li pushed him, "Can you let go of me now?"

"Cough, cough~ Alright."

Gu Chen released his embrace and lay back down on the bed. Just like before, Gu Li carefully tucked him in, then sat down, staring straight at him without a word.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Gu Chen tried to alleviate the atmosphere, "Gu Li, you should go back and rest. The issues in New City will be resolved soon, and you’ll be able to go back to work quickly." After a pause, he continued, "If you’re short of money, just take my card, it’s in the second drawer of the bedside table..."

Smack~

Gu Chen’s words came to an abrupt halt, staring dumbfounded at the woman who had just smashed a stool.

Gu Li was about to be driven mad by him. Weren’t the words she just said clear enough? She had said that no one would want her, and she didn’t want anyone else either. Was he truly not getting it or was he playing dumb?

In all her life, she’d never been as angry as she was right now, truly, truly very angry!

Feeling that just standing and scolding him wasn’t enough to relieve her anger, she propped the stool back up, stood on it with hands on her hips, "Gu! Chen! Is it your stomach that’s sick or your brain? Weren’t the words I said clear enough or not? Now, listen to me and listen good. I’ll say it one last time!"

She took a deep breath and spoke word by word: "I don’t want your dowry, nor do I want to get married! I’ve decided to cling to you for life..."

He didn’t know what else she said after that; all he knew was that his mind was blank, uncertain of how to react.

But he heard her clearly.

Gu Li, the person he had cherished in the palm of his hand for over a decade, was now saying she didn’t want to marry anyone else, she wanted to cling to him.

Having never known what ecstasy felt like, Gu Chen obsessively believed that what he was feeling now was ecstasy.

He didn’t know how he did it, but in a swift move, with a scream, Gu Li was suddenly in his arms, her feet off the ground, which caused her to instinctively hold him tight.

"... Are you alright?" Gu Li looked at him in horror, "Are you okay? Why are you suddenly laughing like that?"

"I’m very good."

Gu Chen forcefully subdued his smile, but he really couldn’t hide all traces of it. In the end, he was still left with a slight curve at the corners of his lips.

"Gu Li, I’m very happy that you’ve finally accepted me."
