Chapter 1297
Women are emotional.
Once they are moved, their bottom lines become unexpectedly loose.
Moreover, Wen Qian had once fantasized about marrying Xia Xueyi together with Wen Yi.
After all, Wen Qian had always respected and loved Wen Yi in her heart, and had never thought of snatching anything away from her side.
Sharing love together naturally became the best outcome.
Now, it was just replacing the Xia Xueyi who only existed in her fantasies with the visible and tangible Gu Hanyuan.
Wen Qian couldn't help but nestle into Gu Hanyuan's embrace.
Thinking to herself:
"If I could really become a pair of desperate lovers with him, that would be quite nice. It's just a pity I couldn't give my body to him."
Gu Hanyuan was currently filled with warmth and fragrance in his arms.
Yet he suddenly asked another question in a teasing tone that completely ruined the atmosphere.
"What about Qingqing?"
Wen Qian was instantly stunned upon hearing this.
She had only secretly visited Wen Qingqing when she was young.
In the years since, she had lived in seclusion and had never seen her again.
Therefore, the image of Wen Qingqing in her heart still remained as it was back then.
Becoming sisters with her own niece was too much of a challenge to Wen Qian's sense of shame.
In the end, the love in Wen Qian's heart gained the upper hand.
She sighed lightly, somewhat troubled:
"Qingqing... if she doesn't object."
Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.
At this moment, Wen Fangda was already feeling impatient.
He spoke up to interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Young Master Gu is in high spirits; in such a situation, you actually still have the heart to flirt with Wen Qian."
Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:
"It's still more pleasant than looking at your old faces, isn't it?"
Wen Fangda's face darkened upon hearing this.
He took a deep breath.
He lost the interest in probing Gu Hanyuan further.
He spoke eloquently:
"Young Master Gu, actually, as long as you disclose the whereabouts of Madam Hu and help us obtain the Chuang Wang treasure, we will absolutely not make things difficult for you. Wen Yi, Wen Qian, and Wen Qingqing, we will also give them all to Young Master Gu. Beautiful sisters, beautiful mother and daughter—doesn't Young Master Gu want to live and enjoy them properly?"
Gu Hanyuan had already achieved his goal of taking down Wen Qian through the act of play-acting.
He was likewise too lazy to continue wasting time with the Five Elders of the Wen Clan.
Just as he was preparing to show his hand, his expression suddenly shifted.
He pulled Wen Qian, who was by his side, a little tighter.
He said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile:
"Gu Mou is indeed very tempted. But do you think Gu Mou would believe you? I'm afraid that as soon as Gu Mou discloses the whereabouts of Madam Hu, you would kill to silence me, right?"
Wen Fangda said in a deep voice:
"As long as Young Master Gu helps us obtain the Chuang Wang treasure, the antidote will certainly be offered with both hands."
Wen Fangyi suddenly interjected at this moment:
"Big Brother, something seems a bit wrong."
Wen Fangda was startled upon hearing this.
He asked suspiciously:
"What part is wrong?"
Wen Fangyi said vigilantly:
"It is rumored that the Golden Silkworm Gu poison is the most potent of all poisons in the world. It is formless and colorless; those poisoned feel as if ten thousand insects are biting their entire body. The pain is unbearable; they can neither live nor die. Even if Gu Hanyuan has deep internal power, he shouldn't have no reaction at all, right?"
Wen Fangda hurriedly looked at Gu Hanyuan upon hearing this.
He saw that although his complexion was not very good.
His demeanor was indeed too relaxed.
Subconsciously, he took half a step back and said:
"Young Master Gu, you are not poisoned?"
But immediately after, as if trying to convince himself, he shouted loudly:
"Impossible! If you weren't poisoned, you wouldn't be stalling for time. Don't waste your effort. The Golden Silkworm Gu poison is not so easily forced out."
