Braille? A document? Oh right, he hadn't paid attention to the fact that her eyes were closed from the beginning.
In other words, this young master of the Gu family knowingly prepared a Braille document to break off the engagement, fully aware that she was blind?
What kind of move was this?
Leng Qingqiu discreetly reached out to touch the document on the table in front of her. However, whether intentional or not, the document was just slightly out of reach of her fingertips.
Seeing this, Gu Yan quickly said, "Let me help you."
As he spoke, Gu Yan reached out and grasped Leng Qingqiu's hand, placing it on the document.
The moment their palms touched, Gu Yan clearly felt a tremor.
At the same time.
[Helping your pure love interest touch the document, +1 point~]
A mechanical voice sounded in his mind, causing Gu Yan to smile slightly.
This scene was witnessed by Leng Ling'er, who immediately shouted angrily, "You pervert! Let go of her hand!"
Leng Qingqiu's tone was also cold, "Young Master Gu, don't you know it's improper for men and women to touch?"
As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu pulled her hand away from Gu Yan's grasp.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just trying to help," Gu Yan apologized sincerely, as if that was truly the case.
Huh? He could have just pushed the document closer.
Never mind, after this they wouldn't have any more dealings anyway.
Leng Qingqiu sighed softly, then touched the Braille document and began to read.
Time ticked by second by second.
Leng Xing'an looked at the document, completely shocked.
He suddenly raised his head to look at Leng Qingqiu, opening his mouth as if to say something.
But he quickly suppressed his shock, looking at Gu Yan with disbelief, "This... this..."
Before he could finish, Leng Qingqiu had already read the contents of the document. She turned slightly towards Gu Yan and asked coolly, "What is the meaning of this?"
This document wasn't at all what they had expected - a document to break off the engagement.
Instead, it was a transfer agreement for 5% of the Gu Family Group's shares!
It was well known that the Gu Family Group was conservatively valued at 1 trillion. The value of this 5% was unimaginable!
This would be an enormous help to their current situation in the Leng Family!
"The meaning? Don't you understand yet, Qingqiu? This is just a small token of my sincerity in coming to propose marriage," Gu Yan said.
"Since I own 10% of the group's shares, I'm giving half of that to you, Qingqiu."
"After all..." Gu Yan looked tenderly at Leng Qingqiu, "We're going to be family from now on."
What?!
Boom!!
Leng Qingqiu was stunned on the spot. She stood up abruptly, her tone finally losing its previous calm composure. She asked incredulously, "Propose marriage? Family? Us?!"
What was going on? What was happening? Wasn't he here to break off the engagement? Why was he proposing instead?
This left Leng Qingqiu dumbfounded. She was blind - how could he still want to propose marriage? And even offer such an enormous gift!
Seeing her reaction, Gu Yan also stood up and said sincerely, "That's right! Marry me, Qingqiu! I'll treat you well for the rest of our lives!"
Huh? So direct?
No, no, no, this wasn't about lifelong commitment or not.
Leng Qingqiu felt resistant in her heart. How could she possibly consider love and marriage now? Not to mention that the Gu family wasn't even fully on her whitelist yet.
Leng Xing'an was also stunned. What? He wasn't breaking off the engagement? No, wait, weren't you Shen Wan'er's devoted admirer? Why are you suddenly after my grand-niece??
Leng Ling'er also thought of this point. She quickly stood up and shouted at Gu Yan, "Bah! You lying dog of a man! You were clearly pursuing Miss Shen before!"
"How can you suddenly claim to love my sister now?!"
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu found a reason to refuse. She spoke up, "Young Master Gu, if you're just looking for a replacement for Shen Wan'er, then I'm afraid we're not suitable."
Although it wasn't breaking off the engagement, and he had even brought such a generous gift, Leng Qingqiu still didn't want to marry him. After all, she had long ago decided that she wouldn't live like a normal girl, her life was dedicated to...
Before she could finish her thought, in the outside world, Gu Yan began his performance.
He put on an expression of hesitation, his face flickering with indecision, but finally settling into a look of firm resolve, as if he had made some great decision.
He took a deep breath, looked up at Leng Qingqiu, and even though she couldn't see him, Gu Yan still put on a sincere expression: "No! It's not a replacement!"
"The truth is, I've been in love with you, Miss Leng, ever since I found out that my grandfather had arranged our childhood engagement!"
"Back then, you were Jianghai City's number one talented woman, while I was just a rich, handsome playboy with nothing else to offer. I loved you, but I knew I wasn't good enough. I wasn't worthy of you."
"So I wanted to work hard to become worthy of you, but before I could reach that point, I heard..."
Gu Yan paused here, looking at Leng Qingqiu. He sighed softly, not finishing his sentence, but continuing, "Not long after, I heard the news that you had lost your sight."
At this point, Gu Yan's tone became sorrowful: "I was heartbroken, filled with guilt. I hated myself for not being by your side when you needed me most."
"I didn't dare face you. I felt unworthy of being your husband, so I tried to numb my heart through others, but..."
"But every night before sleep, the person I thought of, longed for, was still you, Qingqiu..."
As he said this, Gu Yan walked around the table to Leng Qingqiu's side, reached out to hold her hand, and said sincerely, "Qingqiu, no matter what you become, I love you."
"I will treat you well for the rest of our lives."
Leng Qingqiu tried to pull her hand away from Gu Yan, but found his grip was very firm. Moreover, his tone was extremely sincere, as if what he said was really true.
Leng Ling'er listened with a slightly flushed face, standing up to scold, "Bah! Who would believe such nonsense!"
Leng Xing'an, however, was stunned by what he heard. He looked at the earnest Gu Yan before him. Wait, are you for real?
But... but...
He swallowed hard, looking at the silent Leng Qingqiu.
In fact, there was one thing nobody knew - that the real power behind the Leng family was actually his grand-niece, Leng Qingqiu.
He, Leng Xing'an, was merely the figurehead family head.
So, if anyone knew the truth, they would understand how panicked he was right now.
Time ticked by second by second.
Leng Qingqiu finally spoke, perhaps after a great internal struggle, slowly saying, "I understand."
"Sister!" Leng Ling'er was dumbfounded. Sister, are you really agreeing?
Phew!
Getting this answer, Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. No matter what Leng Qingqiu was thinking inside, at least on the surface, they were now a legally pure love couple!!
"That's wonderful, Qingqiu. I swear I'll treat you well!" Gu Yan clasped Leng Qingqiu's jade-like hand tightly, speaking with sincerity.
Oh ho, the first step in avoiding a death ending has been perfectly accomplished! Hehehe~~!!
"..."
Leng Qingqiu remained silent. Of course, she wasn't agreeing to truly become Gu Yan's wife.
Instead, she had another thought. Since Gu Yan claimed to have such deep feelings for her, even willing to give up his company shares,
Then...
A plan formed in Leng Qingqiu's mind. She could use Gu Yan, or rather use the Gu Family Group, to help her find the mastermind behind that incident from years ago!
Heh, Gu Yan, you probably never imagined that I actually have a completely different motive for you, did you?
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
