Chapter 751

"Earth Net" stronghold.

Gu Gu Hanyuan frowned as he flipped through the intelligence in his hand.

The time seemed to be tighter than he had anticipated.

The capital was surging with undercurrents, and many plot points already had precursors.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng, who had a "body constitution that attracts trouble," was predictably targeted by someone.

Interestingly, Gu Gu Hanyuan seemed to have been targeted as well.

The masterminds behind these plots all had the problem of being arrogant, always loving to increase the difficulty for themselves.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes flickered with deep light, playing with a strand of black, shiny hair in his hand, and asked softly:

"How is the situation on Iron Hand’s side?"

He He Hongyao raised her head and said vaguely:

"They have already made contact with that organization."

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s mouth curled into a smile and said:

"Very good. Tell her to be careful; those people are not of one mind, so don't expose our purpose too early."

He He Hongyao nodded slightly, licking her lips with a charming expression.

She asked hesitantly:

"Young Master Gu, do you really not need me to go to the capital with you?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan pondered and said:

"No need. Once things here are settled, there will inevitably be a period of chaos. That will be the perfect time to develop the 'Net,' and it needs your leadership."

"But..."

He He Hongyao was clearly somewhat unwilling.

Gu Gu Hanyuan saw through her thoughts at a glance and laughed lightly:

"Before I leave, I will properly reward you for your hard work during this time. Come up."

He He Hongyao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, her pretty face becoming even more charming and graceful.

Where was the bitter, vengeful look she had at the beginning?

She was in a full state of greed for pleasure.

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't care about the surging white waves in front of him, his eyes deep.

At night.

Gu Gu Hanyuan, who returned to Wu Xingyun Manor, did not stay at the Cold Fragrance Cottage.

Instead, he returned to the guest room where he hadn't stayed for a long time.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan loved to play, he also had enough patience.

It wouldn't be beautiful if he scared someone away because of shame.

His waiting soon yielded a harvest.

A knock on the door sounded.

Gu Gu Hanyuan flicked his hand, and the door opened instantly.

He saw Lin Lin Shiyin, whom Gu Gu Hanyuan was waiting for, standing outside the door.

That weak figure was like a small white flower drifting in the wind.

Her plain white clothes were blown by the night wind, clinging to her body, making her figure even more graceful.

That peach-like curve that bewitched the eyes was even more prominent.

Her pretty face, lightly powdered, carried a rich sense of sorrow and distress.

It was as if she had returned to the appearance she had when Gu Gu Hanyuan first saw her.

It was just that her beautiful, watery eyes were slightly different from before, with more complex emotions.

Gu Gu Hanyuan said faintly:

"It’s cold outside, Lady, come in."

Lin Lin Shiyin looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan with a complex expression.

After a moment of hesitation, she walked into the room with a faint sigh and closed the door behind her.

Seeing Lin Lin Shiyin being so self-aware, Gu Gu Hanyuan immediately revealed a playful smile.

Lin Lin Shiyin turned around, looked at the languid Gu Gu Hanyuan, and couldn't help but clench her sleeves.

She walked to his front with hesitant steps and asked:

"You knew I would come?"

"Why must you ask when you already know, Lady?"

"Why must you use this method?"

Lin Lin Shiyin’s expression was miserable.

She had long known that Gu Gu Hanyuan was interested in her.

And for so many days, she had been collecting interest for him, and serving him together with Lin Xian’er to repay his kindness.

The relationship between the two had long been different.

The most appropriate description was "more than ambiguous, but not yet lovers."

Especially after that night, Lin Lin Shiyin, who couldn't sleep alone, had fantasized countless times about what might happen.

Her good upbringing wouldn't let her look forward to such things.

She was just deceiving herself with a sense of resignation.

On the contrary, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s sudden aloofness made her care extremely much.

She even took the initiative for a rare moment because of it.

She still remembered the hot touch left during the day, as well as the sour feeling brought about by witnessing the intimacy between Gu Gu Hanyuan and Sun Xiaohong.

However, everything changed when Long Long Xiaoyun suddenly came to the door.

How ridiculous was the contrast between Long Long Xiaoyun’s extreme pursuit back then and his harsh words at this moment.

Long Long Xiaoyun naturally couldn't talk about the content regarding Li Li Xunhuan.

He only accused her of losing her chastity to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

However, although Lin Lin Shiyin had done many things that made her feel guilty, at least she had always held her bottom line.

Those things were the price paid for Li Li Xunhuan.

It could also be considered a farewell to that past relationship.

The final bottom line was held for her husband, Long Long Xiaoyun.

Otherwise, under Gu Gu Hanyuan’s offensive, she would have long been unable to resist her body’s instincts.

However, no matter how Lin Lin Shiyin explained it, Long Long Xiaoyun didn't believe she still held her purity, instead feeling increasingly disappointed in Lin Lin Shiyin.

In Long Long Xiaoyun’s view, Gu Gu Hanyuan just had a perverse interest in Yu Wanting him to persuade Lin Lin Shiyin to take the initiative.

After all, he had never seen Lin Lin Shiyin take the initiative.

Even apart from their wedding night, Lin Lin Shiyin, whose heart had been broken by Li Li Xunhuan, had never been close to him again.

Precisely because of this, it showed how "wildly" they had played behind his back.

This increased his sense of humiliation and made him give up on everything.

"Anyway, the wood is already carved into a boat; Lin Shiyin, you might as well trade for some benefits for me. Young Master Gu gave me a divine art manual in exchange for you accompanying him tonight."

Long Long Xiaoyun’s heartless words seemed to still be in Lin Lin Shiyin’s ears.

Her value turned out to be no more than equal to a divine art manual.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at the miserable Lin Lin Shiyin and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Gently stroking that bright, pretty face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, he said in a gentle voice:

"Only in this way will you belong to me wholeheartedly."

Without Long Long Xiaoyun’s betrayal, even if Lin Lin Shiyin became his lover, she would only feel increasingly guilty toward Long Long Xiaoyun.

This guilt would not only interfere with Gu Gu Hanyuan’s subsequent plans but also easily cause accidents.

Moreover, Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't want his woman to feel guilty toward other men.
