Chapter 68

Gu He'an took off his coat, tugged at his tie, and stared at Lin Yan with a cold gaze.

"For my sake? Then tell me, what have you done for me?"

Lin Yan walked to his side, wanting to close the distance between them, but Gu He'an avoided her, walked to the other side of the sofa, and lit a cigarette. He took a deep drag, exhaled the smoke, and then slowly questioned her.

"Speak properly, I'm listening."

It was the first time Lin Yan had been pushed away when getting close to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "I know Lu Qianchuan won the scientific research project. I originally wanted to test what conditions he used to win it, so I could make plans for you.

We are childhood sweethearts, the friendship of growing up together, don't you understand? I love you so much, and you actually suspect me!"

"Is that so? Then that really cost you some effort." Gu He'an stared at her suspiciously, clearly not believing her words.

Lin Yan added, "I also heard a piece of news: Lu Qianchuan wants to spend a lot of money to poach people from our Gu Corporation's research department. Our Gu Corporation is already in a precarious situation, and the research team is our core; there absolutely cannot be any more waves, which is why I anxiously accepted his invitation."

This news was somewhat useful to him.

Gu He'an continued to smoke, and the smell of smoke instantly filled the living room. The smoke carried the scent of black tea. Lin Yan coughed; she didn't like the smell of smoke, so Gu He'an wouldn't smoke when he was with her.

But he did smoke, and the black tea scent was Qin Yan's favorite flavor.

She called him spoiledly again, "Husband, didn't you go to discuss the share transfer with Miss Qin? You left her in the restaurant; wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Gu He'an pointed to the document on the table, "She signed it."

"Lin Yan, don't change the subject. Are you hiding something from me!" Gu He'an stared at her with cold eyes.

Lin Yan couldn't figure out what he was referring to for a moment, shed tears of grievance, and shouted.

"Yes, I can't compare to Miss Qin. She still has Gu Corporation shares in her hands and can help you, but my Lin family went bankrupt, and I have nothing.

I love you and want to help you, but I have no capital. I can only try to deal with Lu Qianchuan, and being misunderstood by you, I have no choice."

The more she spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she cried even harder.

"It's my fault. If you are angry with me, then divorce me. I'm sorry to you. You are the Eldest Young Master of the Gu Family and the President of the Gu Corporation; how can a useless person like me be worthy of you!"

Gu He'an bit his cigarette. Seeing her crying so sadly, he extinguished the cigarette, walked to her, and wiped her tears with a softened heart.

"I didn't say anything, why are you crying?"

"Didn't you? You were just short of pointing at my nose and saying I was shameless, saying I cheated." Lin Yan lay in his arms, crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Husband, I love you so much. When I heard the news of your engagement, I was so scared abroad, afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore. I rushed back to the country just to see you. I didn't expect that once I saw you, I wouldn't want to leave.

Now that you suspect me like this, it's like a knife cutting through my heart. Husband, my heart hurts so much. I don't want to leave you; please don't not want me, okay?"

Gu He'an heard her crying, and his heart softened into a pool of water.

"Qin Yan said you accept Lu Qianchuan's lunch and afternoon tea every day? Lin Yan, why do you have to do this? Is what I give you not enough?"

Lin Yan thought, of course it's not enough.

A man with power and influence can only give her the most basic needs.

But she also wanted love and status.

"Why would Miss Qin frame me? I didn't. Those were ordered by myself. I said they were ordered by my boyfriend to prevent others from suspecting our relationship. If you don't believe me, I can pull up the order for you. I haven't done anything to let you down."

As she spoke, she went to find her phone, clicked on it to show him her order.

Gu He'an took her phone away, "I believe you."

Lin Yan heard his tone become gentle, hugged him again, and whispered, "Did Miss Qin discover something, which is why she deliberately slandered me in front of you? I originally respected Miss Qin quite a bit; I didn't expect her to be such a person!"

"So what if she discovered it? Now that the shares are in hand, Lin Yan, we should prepare for the wedding!"

Lin Yan raised a smile, but there was no joy in her eyes.

According to the current trend, the Gu Corporation was not developing as well as the Lu Corporation. And this man, Gu He'an, could treat Qin Yan like this; wouldn't he treat her the same way in the future?

Men are all fickle and unreliable.

Then, why shouldn't she choose a man who is more beneficial to herself?

Lu Qianchuan is self-disciplined, upright, and noble, and treats feelings seriously. Although he is a bit cold in dealing with people, he will use actions to prove his love.

Sending flowers and takeout every day during this period, as well as afternoon tea that is never the same, shows that he is really trying hard to take care of her.

And he also gave her a desire for conquest.

"As for our wedding, let's not make it public yet, and definitely don't let Miss Qin know. Miss Qin loves you so much; if she finds out the woman you're marrying isn't her and comes to make a scene at our wedding, that wouldn't be good."

Lin Yan stood on tiptoe, kissed his lips, and her voice was melodious and pleasant, "Everyone knew you and Miss Qin were engaged before, and you even got your marriage certificate. If we hold a wedding now, we will definitely be criticized. You wouldn't want me to be called a mistress, would you?"

"Of course not." Gu He'an thought of the experience with Qin Yan that night and didn't want to fall out with Qin Yan so early. He swallowed his saliva, "Then let's do as you say."

Lin Yan smiled and went to undo his shirt buttons, "Husband, to celebrate you getting the shares, you can play however you want tonight!"

Gu He'an's body had a reaction from her teasing. He hugged her to the bed and lowered his head to kiss her.

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded outside the window, and Lin Yan was so scared she hugged him tightly.

Gu He'an patted her back soothingly, preparing to continue, but felt some soreness in his legs. He knitted his brows and propped himself up with his arms.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yan took off her clothes and felt the chill. She wanted to hug his hot body tightly, but felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"It's nothing, maybe it's a rainy day, and the place where I was injured is a bit uncomfortable." Gu He'an lay down.

Spring thunder exploded outside the window, one after another, and then large raindrops hit the glass, leaving streaks of water.

The raindrops became denser and denser, beating against the window.

With the rain, the air humidity increased, which had an impact on people with chronic illnesses.

Gu He'an frowned, held Lin Yan's face, and said, "My legs have no strength. You do it today, be on top."

"Ah, I don't know how." Lin Yan frowned.

Usually, he served her and brought her happiness, but now she had to serve him herself; how could she be willing?

"If you don't know, you can learn." Gu He'an wanted to say that Qin Yan could serve him, why couldn't she?

Lin Yan had no choice but to try first.

But after a while, Gu He'an pushed her away irritably and sat up.

"Did I make you uncomfortable? I said I don't know how." Lin Yan got up and covered herself with the quilt.

Gu He'an stared at her, raised his hand to land on her shoulder, and slid down her spine. The woman's skin was tender and smooth, but it didn't have the feeling he wanted.

Lin Yan took off the quilt. As his hand slid, it felt a bit itchy, and she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Men have desires, and women do too.

This is not a shameful thing.

"Hmm, husband, it hurts!"

The man's hand suddenly pinched her waist. The strength was great, as if he wanted to snap it, and she cried out in pain.

"Forget it." He let go of her and got up to find medicine.

Lin Yan felt angry and wrapped herself in the quilt, watching him look for things in the room, but after searching a circle, he went to the living room.

"Do you know where my medicine is?" Gu He'an searched a circle but couldn't find the medicine he needed to drink.

"What medicine?" Lin Yan was bewildered.

"..."

Gu He'an remembered that in order not to let Lin Yan worry about him, he forced her to take medicine every time, so it was normal for her not to know.

He put on his clothes and continued to search, but couldn't even find a medicine box.

A dense, stinging pain came from the injured part of his leg, which was truly uncomfortable. He found his phone and called Qin Yan.

The first time, no one answered. Gu He'an was unwilling and continued to dial.
