Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Don’t Think I Don’t Know

Gu Qili hadn’t spoken yet, already starting to shake her head uncontrollably, but she couldn’t deny it—he seemed to be right.

But what was off about this?

Her silence made Mu Shuoqian’s face grow even more grim. Without another word, he pulled away from the chair and stood up to leave.

"Mu Shuoqian." Gu Qili hurried after him, grasping the sleeves of his clothing, "I’m not... I actually... Sigh."

He coldly glanced at her, wanting to shake off her hands. But Gu Qili clung on desperately, going so far as to wrap her arms around his arm and hang on it completely.

"Mu Shuoqian, don’t leave, listen to me."

Her soft body clung to his arm like a koala latching on, her eyes round, large, and pitifully pleading without a sound.

Mu Shuoqian didn’t move, his lips still curled in mockery.

"I’m just friends with Chen Yishu. Over the years, he’s always been helping me. Now his family is in trouble, and I just wanted to lend a hand as a friend." Gu Qili wasn’t sure why the focus of her explanation shifted. Right now, she should be concerned about the Chen Family’s issue, not about her relationship with Chen Yishu.

"Regardless of the purpose of our marriage, I will respect our matrimony within these two years. You once said, because I am your wife, you wouldn’t allow anyone to bully me. Similarly, as your husband, I will not betray you in any form," Gu Qili said, her head lowered, like a schoolchild who had done something wrong.

Mu Shuoqian looked down at the top of her head, her black hair like fine satin. As she bowed her head, her long eyelashes curled beautifully, covering her eyelids, just like a doll made by hand.

The corners of his lips finally relaxed slightly, but his voice remained cold: "What did you just say?"

Thinking he hadn’t heard her, Gu Qili repeated: "I will not betray you in any form."

"The sentence before that."

She thought for a moment: "You are my husband."

"What?"

She had to raise her voice: "You are my husband."

Is he deaf?

He nodded as if he had just heard her, "Since you have the awareness to abide by the contract, I might as well tell you, the trouble with the Chen Family, I did it."

Gu Qili: "..."

This old fox, it really was his doing, aaaah! And he still managed to look so innocent, she almost thought she had wronged him.

"Why, just because Chen Jiehui hit me?"

"That’s one reason."

Of course, it was the primary reason. Ever since Chen Jiehui slapped Gu Qili, he had been plotting his revenge on Chen Jiehui, it was only just now that he had gathered all the evidence, after all, the Chen Family’s company wasn’t small.

"Also because Chen Yishu... confessed to me?"

He gave her a look that said ’aren’t you clever’.

Gu Qili rubbed her temples, wearing a helpless expression: "He just confessed to me, I didn’t even agree, and that’s not allowed?"

"What if you had agreed?"

Gu Qili was speechless. Was this his way of being cautious beforehand?

"Should I wait around for someone to make me a cuckold?"

Cuckold?

Suddenly she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Mu Shuoqian frowned, clearly not pleased with her acting all deep and meaningful when she obviously had something to say.

"What do you want to say?"

"You were the one who asked me to talk." Gu Qili let go of his arm and took two steps back, almost as if afraid he would hit her, "You’re saying officials can set fires while the common people can’t even light a lamp. My dealings with Chen Yishu are clear and clean, but what about you?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, you and that Xiao Yu, don’t think I don’t know."

Mu Shuoqian: "..."

If he now said it was all made up by him, would anyone believe him?
