Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 50 I am your fiancé

"Have you put me on your list of enemies as well?"

Gu Lingqian leaned against the back of the chair, his long legs crossed, exhibiting a languid demeanor.

Xia Yinian did not respond, but turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Aren’t they? They all share the Gu surname, they’re family!

"I am your fiance," this status, is it not closer than any cousin?

"It’s not real anyway," Xia Yinian scoffed coldly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lingqian’s expression darkened instantly, and his voice turned colder: "Try repeating what you just said!"

"I..." Xia Yinian bit her lip, swallowing her words back down, daring not to speak carelessly again.

They had agreed upon returning to the Gu Family, she would act as if she were truly his fiancee.

Such words as ’fake’ must absolutely not be uttered; she had merely been overwhelmed by emotion momentarily, saying something without thinking.

She remained silent, sitting back down on the sofa, quietly sipping tea.

The room had already been cleaned by the servants; even the flowers in the vase on the coffee table had been changed.

Gu Lingqian’s gaze settled on her: "Calm down now?"

Xia Yinian glanced at him and huffed: "What else could I do if not calm down?"

"I trust you, isn’t that enough?" After all, he was her nominal fiance.

"What’s the good of that..." Suddenly, she widened her eyes, glaring at him: "Did you say... you trust me?"

"You’re my fiancee, if I don’t trust you, who else can I trust?"

"But we are..." The words "fake" remained unspoken by Xia Yinian.

However, Gu Lingqian’s trust at least provided her with some comfort.

Seeing that she had truly calmed down, Gu Lingqian leisurely remarked: "This house is too large, full of all sorts of people, be more careful in the future."

"That Gu Ziqi really is a lunatic, for real!" Not just a lunatic, but also an actress!

She had never encountered anyone so inexplicably aggressive, erupting into violence over a single misword, even daring to wield a knife!

Looking at her manner, it’s as if she wouldn’t fear even if she killed someone, after all, she has a set of unreasonable parents to shelter her!

Indeed, the saying holds true that parents and their children are cut from the same cloth; that’s who they learned it from!

By comparison, Xia Yinian suddenly felt that the ladies of the Xia Family were far gentler.

Although, they were also each more ruthless than the last!

"Ziqi was frail and sickly as a child, barely surviving several times, Third Uncle and Third Aunt cherished her deeply, indulging her every whim, which led to her present personality."

Regarding his own cousins, although he wasn’t particularly familiar with them, he knew a bit about them.

Xia Yinian pursed her lips, wanting to say that his Third Uncle and Third Aunt weren’t anything commendable either.

However, since he said he trusted her, it might be best to leave unsaid the ill words about his family.

After all, he knew what his own family was like.

"What if they bully me in the future?" This was just the second day of her arrival, and it had already nearly resulted in a fatality.

Who knew how many snares awaited her in the year to come.

Gu Lingqian’s gaze drifted to the window, a faint smile spreading across his face.

"Life in a grand mansion is never calm; aside from learning to protect yourself, you have no other choice."

"..." Complaining words were again swallowed back down by Xia Yinian.

The smile at the corner of Gu Lingqian’s lips was too cold; she even felt it was callous.

What sort of living environment fostered such an extremely cold smile?

Could it be, he too experienced many ’unrestful’ events in his childhood?

The words "grand mansion" suddenly invoked a sense of dread in Xia Yinian.

Being too wealthy, sometimes, really isn’t necessarily a good thing...
