Warning : Providence the Beauty is Driven to Villainy

Contract Marriage (7)

When he saw what happened, the butler couldn’t help but quietly facepalm.

‘My old master.

‘You have to be quite good at it to expose yourself this early!’

There was a moment of silence in the room. So silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Grandfather Gu coughed awkwardly.

He then lowered his head and bowed down.

He quickly grabbed the bag of pickled chicken feet and then put it under his pillow.

His entire movement was so smooth that he didn’t look like a sickened old man.

Jiang Yuan could only look at him, stunned.

The final conclusion that she could make was that the old man was a very good actor.

She wisely chose to not say anything, and merely quietly stood on the spot like a piece of decoration.

When he saw how his grandfather acted, Gu Xichao could feel his blood boiling.

Gu Xichao already knew from first sight that once again, his grandfather was only pretending to be sick.

“Grandfather…”

Just as he wanted to say something, his grandfather cut him off.

“Stop, stop. Don’t say anything. I’m sleepy now. I’m going to bed. Get out, all of you.”

With that, Grandfather Gu pulled over his blanket and covered himself completely with his back against them.

Gu Xichao was so angry that he laughed and said, “All of you may leave first.”

When the butler and servants that were there heard the order, they all left.

When Jiang Yuan heard what Gu Xichao said, she also left without any hesitation since that was what she wanted anyway.

When the man saw Jiang Yuan’s back as she ran off, he was stunned. He refocused his attention without changing his expression.

***

There were only two people left in the room. Gu Xichao and Grandfather Gu.

He pushed his gold-framed glasses up his nose with his finger and asked, “Grandfather, what do you want?”

The helplessness in the young man’s tone was apparent.

Grandfather Gu turned around and stared at him angrily, and said, “What do I want? Gu Xichao, let me make this clear. It’s not what I want but what you want!

“How long have you been married to Little Yuan? When can you get me a great-grandson?

“Do you think that I don’t know that both of you still sleep in separate rooms?!”

If it wasn’t because of the distance, Gu Xichao wouldn’t doubt that Grandfather Gu would have pointed at his nose as he yelled.

But...

Jiang Yuan and him?

Impossible…

He sneered a little. His sexy lips were like petals, and their color was like a pale pink of cherry blossoms.

Seeing that Gu Xichao didn’t speak a word, Grandfather Gu had a plan and took a step back. “If you don’t want to have a child now, that’s fine.

“But, from now on, you and Little Yuan will have to stay in the same room. You are still staying in separate rooms after one year. Don’t you think it’s funny?!”

Gu Xichao did not answer.

Grandfather Gu continued saying, “This is already the best compromise that I’m willing to make. If you can’t agree with it, then don’t consider me as your grandfather anymore. I’m cutting you off.

“Both of you stay in the family mansion for the next few days and accompany this old man of yours who already has one foot in the grave.”

Gu Xichao couldn’t convince Grandfather Gu about this, so all he could do was to agree to him for the time being.

The man’s deep blue eyes darkened as if a storm was brewing as he bit his lip.

It was obvious that he was extremely conflicted about this.

***

That night.

She looked at Gu Xichao who was carrying a pillow standing right outside her bedroom.

Jiang Yuan was stunned and confused.

‘What’s going on?”

Gu Xichao looked down and he said calmly, “I’ll sleep here tonight.”
