RMHU - Chapter 58

Gu Huaizhi, do you still remember that Shen Mian-yin is my fiancée?" Gu Luo'an said through gritted teeth.

Gu Huaizhi scoffed, "You broke up a long time ago."

"No," Gu Luoan insisted, "It doesn't count as a breakup unless I agree to it!"

Shen Mianyin is just sulking at me right now.

Once I handle the matter with Su Yiqing, I'll just coax Shen Mianyin back.

Gu Huaizhi was actually a little puzzled by Gu Luo'an. He couldn't understand why Gu Luo'an wouldn't give up on Shen Mianyin, yet he didn't cherish her.

What a fool.

No wonder Shen Mian-yin doesn't like him.

"Gu Luo-an, don't act like a child," Gu Huai-zhi said indifferently. "Mian-yin has already broken up with you, and your opinion doesn't matter."

Hearing Gu Huai-zhi address Shen Mian-yin so casually, Gu Luo'an could no longer hold back and stormed straight to Gu Huaizhi’s building.

It wasn’t until then that Gu Huaizhi noticed someone emerging from the shadows.

A few seconds later, the intercom in Gu Huaizhi’s home started ringing.

With a grim expression, Gu Huaizhi picked up his phone and walked toward the door.

But just as he arrived, Shen Mianyin was already there as well.

Through the intercom screen, they saw Gu Luo'an standing outside.

Shen Mianyin turned to look at Gu Huaizhi in surprise, "How is he here?"

Then, remembering that this was Gu Huaizhi's place, Shen Mianyin said, "Does he have something to tell you?"

"Maybe I should leave," Shen Mianyin suggested.

"No need," Gu Huaizhi said in a low voice, "He must have been waiting downstairs at your company and followed you here."

He's here for you.

Gu Luoan hadn't hung up the phone yet. He shouted into the phone at Gu Huaizhi, "Gu Huaizhi, if you have the guts, open the door! I know you're home! I saw you two go upstairs with my own eyes!"

Gu Luoan's voice was so loud that Shen Mianyin could hear it leaking from Gu Huaizhi's phone.

Shen Mianyin: "..."

"Gu Huaizhi, are you afraid to admit it?" Gu Luo'an shouted angrily, his eyes red. "She's my fiancée! She's your future niece-in-law!"

Shen Mianyin was furious, "I'm not! Who is his fiancée!"

Hearing this, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but curl up the corner of his lips.

Gu Luo'an on the other end must have heard it too, so Gu Huaizhi asked indifferently, "Did you hear that?"

"Open the door!" Gu Luo'an shouted with red eyes, "What are the two of you doing at home!"

Your voice was like that when you answered the phone just now.

Gu Huaizhi actually pressed the open button and let Gu Luo'an in.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Mianyin urged, "You let him in?"

"We'll have to face him sooner or later," Gu Huaizhi said.

Shen Mianyin was puzzled, "I've already faced him, and he just doesn't understand."

What did he mean by sooner or later?

"Then I'll go home first. You send him away, and I'll come back down later," Shen Mianyin said, reaching for her things to leave.

She and Gu Huaizhi had come straight to Gu Huaizhi's place.

Thinking that they were just floors apart, she planned to get her stuff after dinner.

"It's too late," Gu Huaizhi said.

"Because Gu Luo'an has already come up."

"Do you want to climb the stairs to go home now?" Otherwise, if you take the elevator, you'll definitely have to face Gu Luo'an.

Shen Mianyin: "..."

"Forget it, I haven't done anything shameful anyway, so I'm not afraid to face him." Shen Mianyin stopped and didn't move, "It's just that I've also dragged you into this."

"You haven't dragged me into anything," Gu Huaizhi smiled slightly, "Today, I'll deal with him once and for all."

Shen Mianyin was curious, "I've said it so many times already, and he still won't listen. How are you going to get rid of him?"

"Are you going to use the authority as a third uncle?" Shen Mianyin asked curiously.

Gu Huaizhi: "..."

Before long, they heard the elevator ding, and through the screen, they saw Gu Luo'an striding over angrily.

"Open the door!" Gu Luo'an pressed the doorbell frantically.

Gu Huaizhi was in no hurry, and first asked Shen Mianyin, "Are you ready?"

Shen Mianyin didn't know what Gu Huaizhi planned to do, but thinking that she had nothing to prepare for, she nodded, "I'm ready."

Gu Huaizhi smiled slightly, opened the door, and took a step forward, shielding Shen Mianyin behind him.

When the door opened, Gu Luo'an's hand pressing the doorbell hadn't had time to drop.

Seeing Gu Huaizhi protecting Shen Mianyin behind him, he became even angrier.

"Get out of the way!" Gu Luo'an reached out to pull Shen Mianyin from behind Gu Huaizhi.

Gu Huaizhi raised his hand, grabbed Gu Luo'an's wrist, and threw it away hard.

"You!" Gu Luo'an was furious, but when he really faced Gu Huaizhi, he dared not be too arrogant.

"Shen Mianyin, come out!" Gu Luo'an urged.

Shen Mianyin subconsciously grabbed Gu Huaizhi's arm. With Gu Huaizhi protecting her, she felt more confident. "Gu Luo'an, when are you going to stop this!"

"Shen Mianyin, I'm asking you, what exactly is your relationship with my third uncle!" Gu Luo'an asked angrily.

Shen Mianyin poked Gu Huaizhi in the waist from behind and whispered in a voice only he could hear, "You're the one who insisted on bringing him up. What exactly are you going to do?"

Gu Huaizhi felt a tingling sensation where her fingertip poked his lower back and couldn't help but turn to look at her.

Was she being coquettish with him in front of Gu Luo'an?

Lowering his eyes, he saw Shen Mianyin's face tilted up, small and delicate, like a finely carved piece of jade.

Her eyes were full of trust in him.

Gu Luo'an couldn't hear what Shen Mianyin was saying. He only saw Gu Huaizhi lower his head slightly, smiling at Shen Mianyin in a way that was inexplicably intimate.

"What kind of relationship? Can't you see for yourself?" Gu Huaizhi's gaze was cold, and there was a hint of mockery. 

"Third Uncle," Gu Luo'an took a deep breath and said tensely, "Shen Mianyin is my fiancée!" 

"I didn't agree to break up, and my family didn't say anything about canceling the engagement. She's still my fiancée!" Gu Luo'an declared.

Gu Huaizhi narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly turned around.

Shen Mianyin hadn't reacted yet when she saw Gu Huaizhi's face getting closer and closer to hers.

Her mind went blank, and she was completely stunned. As Gu Huai-zhi's face drew closer, the last thought in her head was that even up close, Gu Huai-zhi's face was still so handsome, without a single flaw.

Gu Huaizhi raised his hand, and his thumb gently pressed against her lips.

The next second, Gu Huaizhi's lips landed on the back of his thumb.

Although his lips didn't actually touch Shen Mianyin's, it was close enough to make her mind go blank and unable to react.

The texture of his thumb was slightly rough, unlike a girl's, but when it touched her lips, it made her lips tremble slightly. 

As he leaned in, the scent of cedar became even more intense.

Their lips were only a thumb's width apart, their breaths mingling.

Shen Mianyin's face turned red.

What was the difference between this and a real kiss?

Too embarrassed to look at Gu Huaizhi, Shen Mianyin subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering uncontrollably.

Her hands also unconsciously gripped Gu Huaizhi's shirt tightly.
