Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Divorce?

“Lin Xuanji, are you insane? Do you know what you are talking about? How can Jinwen and I possibly divorce?”

Upon hearing the word ‘divorce’, Lin Xuanyin let out a despairing cry. Now that Lin Xuanji was asking Lu Jinwen to divorce her, it was tantamount to killing her slowly!

At this moment, Lu Jinwen raised his head and looked at Lin Xuanji intensely. “You really want me to divorce, hm?”

“Jinwen!” Lin Xuanyin cried out in a shrill voice.

Lin Xuanji wrapped her hands around Lu Jinwen. “Yes. I want you to divorce Elder Sister.”

“And then?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Ha.” Lu Jinwen forced out a sinister laugh from his throat and his gaze was piercing and frosty as he looked at her. “Are you playing me?”

“You’ve misunderstood. How would I dare to do such a thing?” With that, Lin Xuanji fluttered her lashes and continued, “Tell me what you want. I won’t be able to know your intentions if you don’t say anything.”

Lin Xuanyin was incensed. They were engrossed in their own conversation and had simply ignored her. Even though she was the legitimate Mrs Lu, she was unable to enter their world at all!

This Lin Xuanji was an intelligent woman. How could she not understand what Lu Jinwen was implying? Lu Jinwen was implying that he wanted Lin Xuanji to marry him after he divorced Lin Xuanyin!

But Lin Xuanji was teasing the man by pretending to be oblivious to his intentions.

“Jinwen, don’t listen to Younger Sister! She’s doing this on purpose. She’s ruthless!”

Upon hearing Lin Xuanyin’s voice, Lin Xuanji arched her willowy eyebrows and said indolently, “Elder Sister seems to be very agitated. You don’t want to comfort her?”

Lu Jinwen’s sharp eyes glanced at the cell phone on the table. He swept it off the table and it landed on the floor, which immediately hung up the call.

Beep, beep. Lin Xuanyin was speechless as she realized the call had been hung up.

She was done for. Lu Jinwen was already coaxed so easily by Lin Xuanji.

…

Now that the disruptions were gone, Lu Jinwen looked at the woman beneath him. Today she wasn’t wearing a red dress. Instead, she was dressed in a beige-colored embroidered Cheongsam, and the buttons at the collar accentuated the exquisiteness of her neck, which made her look very sensual.

This was the first time that he had seen her wearing an outfit of a color other than red. She was still as beautiful and she presented a different kind of charm.

She looked like an intelligent and stubborn young girl in her red dress. Now that she was wearing a beige-colored Cheongsam, she appeared much gentler and two words surfaced in his head, “Young Madam”.

Her eternal youthful appearance was a blessing. In the three years of her disappearance, she had taken on the role of mother to Mo’er and Chenyi. Besides her intelligent and astute characteristics, she had become more delicate and gentler throughout the years, which again made him think of the words, “Young Madam”.

When he was younger, he used to love her talented and sharp demeanor the most, until he and she were always fighting against each other. That was then that he realized he loved the tender side of her more.

Her gentleness could soften him, and even make him… submissive towards her.

“Why aren’t you wearing red?” He tucked a lock of her silky hair behind her ear.

“I don’t look good if I don’t wear red?” Lin Xuanji glared at him.

Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips and did not say a word.

“Seems like I really don’t look good.” Lin Xuanji pushed him away and bent to pick up the charming flowers from the carpet.

Lu Jinwen’s features became somber. She obviously knew that he did not mean that. To him, she was the most beautiful woman in this world.

She stretched her hand out to pick up a stalk of rose. He extended his leg and immediately stepped on the rose.

“Hey, you…”

He had destroyed her rose under his foot!

Lin Xuanji looked up at the man. He was standing before her with his hands stuck in his trousers pockets and looking down upon her.

This man was born an Emperor. Looking down upon her from a higher height gave him more sense of control. “You haven’t answered my question just now. What’s going to happen after I divorce?”

He was determined to pursue her answer to his question.

Lin Xuanji’s expression did not change. A smile played on her red lips. “Do you really want to know? Come back here after you have settled the divorce.”

Throwing a glare at her, Lu Jinwen promptly kicked all the flowers on the carpet away. She was treating him as a fool!

He stalked away.

A gust of cold wind swept when he walked, as if it was expressing the fury in his heart. He was not willing to bow down to her, and neither did she. Both of their hearts had already become cold and distant from each other.

Lin Xuanji was still kneeling on the floor and she did not even turn her head to look at him. The roses had all been trampled by him and she picked up the stalks one by one.

At this moment, the thorns on the stalk pricked her finger and blood oozed out.

Hiss.

Flinching, she withdrew her finger in pain.

It was a bad omen to see blood.

Her heart constricted and there was a metallic taste in her throat. Please don’t vomit blood again…

She did not have much time left, but there were still so many things that she wanted to do.

Lin Xuanji swallowed the blood in her throat and curved her lips.

At this moment, she heard a deep voice admonishing her in displeasure. “How did you get injured?”

Her finger was grasped by a large palm. The man took her finger into his mouth and began to suck on it.

Lin Xuanji looked up at Lu Jinwen, who had returned.

He did not leave.

“Why are you back?” she asked in a soft voice.

Lu Jinwen sucked on her finger till the bleeding stopped. He examined her hand carefully to check if there were any other wounds. He bowed her head and his deep voice was laced with apathy and mockery. “Aren’t you thinking of taking revenge on me now that you have returned? You’d better eat the humble pie and coax me well. On one hand, you’re using me, and on the other hand, you keep being sweet to me. Did you think I’m a fool?”

He examined her hand both cautiously and meticulously. Throughout all these years, apart from being apathetic when he witnessed her being operated on during Chenyi’s birth, he could not bear to see her sick or hurt. But then, he had always been domineering and he treated her as his own possession.

Lin Xuanji did not speak a word. Lu Jinwen released her hand, draped his coat over her body and lifted her.

Upon feeling a loss of gravity, Lin Xuanji pushed him. “Where are you taking me?”

Lu Jinwen carried her out of the main door of the villa. “Didn’t you want me to divorce? I’m going to file for divorce now.”

With that, he curved his lips in a sinister manner. “If you do not reciprocate after my divorce, you’ll be dead!”

“…”

The cold wind outside swept over and almost unconsciously, Lin Xuanji buried herself deeper into Lu Jinwen’s embrace. She could smell his scent while in his embrace, and it was something that she could not escape from.

Both of them came to a stop next to a luxury car. Lu Jinwen suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at her. “If… I bow my head first, I will be able to see you, right?”
