My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Do you have any more questions?
 

Actually, from Lin Anqi’s shy expression, I should have been able to guess the relationship between these two.

But the speculation in my heart was far less shocking than hearing it from her lips.

I was silent for a long time.

“What’s wrong, sister? You look very surprised, do you think he is not good?”

Lin Anqi finally sensed my discomfort.

I snapped back to reality, quickly shook my head, and turned to Gu Yuanzhou with a smile.

“You’re called Louis?”

His dark eyes stared at me for a long time before he slowly nodded.

“You are… Anqi’s fiancé?”

“Anqi has already told you that.”

“I didn’t hear it very clearly, I want to hear it from you!”

Yes, I wanted him to say it himself.

Only if he said it, would I give up.

Actually, I also knew I was being somewhat irrational at the moment, and a bit undignified too.

But there was a fury burning inside me, and even though I tried hard to suppress it on the surface, my heart had already burst.

Gu Yuanzhou gave me another look,

“My answer is the same as hers. Your question is meaningless.”

“Heh heh, meaningless? It actually means a lot…”

“So, why do you ask?”

I stopped my awkward smile,

“It’s like this, I thought you were an old friend of mine when I heard your voice and saw your face. Because you really look alike.”

“Oh, and what do you think now?”

“I was wrong, you are not him!”

At this moment, Lin Anqi also said with a smile,

“It’s normal to mistake people. When he first came to A City, many people mistook him. You’re not the first one, come on, come sit, sister, sit down and eat.”

Lin Anqi took Gu Yuanzhou’s hand and sat on the other side, while I sat down beside Lin Nansheng.

Despite the tumult in my heart, I still managed to restrain these negative thoughts with great reason.

I can do without Gu Yuanzhou, but I can’t do without my biological father.

He is the only relative I have in this world.

Sitting down, I poured myself a glass of red wine and after finishing it, slowly calmed down.

At the dinner table, Lin Nansheng seemed to be very impressed with Gu Yuanzhou,

Constantly praising him to several old friends.

“This future son-in-law is very capable. In that month on Wall Street, he made me more than a hundred billion… He’s young, but he’s experienced and has a very keen eye, not at all inferior to me. Being with him, I feel like, I’m old, it’s time to retire.”

The white-haired elder chuckled,

“Now that you’ve found a successor, indeed, you can retire.”

“Yes, I’ve already planned it, wait for my eldest daughter to have her eyes treated, my youngest daughter to be married, and then I’ll join you old friends to travel and enjoy our later years.”

“When will we celebrate their wedding?”

“Ha ha, that question… she just graduated, let’s wait until she has a bit of success in her career before we hold a banquet. Anyway, the young people are not in a hurry, and I’m not in a hurry either, come on, let’s drink.”

At the table, Lin Nansheng and a few old friends were talking about Gu Yuanzhou,

He seemed to be very pleased with him.

In fact, Lin Nansheng’s judgment was indeed good, Gu Yuanzhou truly had an exceptional talent in business.

In response to Lin Nansheng’s assessment, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t offer any explanation.

He just sat at the table, playing with the red wine in his hand, and occasionally lifting his dark eyes to look at Lin Nansheng.

But from time to time, he would glance at me.

I tried hard to control my chaotic heart…

Thinking back and forth, all kinds of thoughts.

I had been discussing with Wenya why he wouldn’t acknowledge his identity, thinking it was because of a case he was involved in.

Now it seems we were all wrong, instead, he had already adopted a new identity and become someone else’s outstanding future son-in-law.

The taste was truly unbearable.

Deceived?

Made a fool of?

A breath was trapped in my lungs, impossible to swallow down either way.

It took me a long struggle to slowly come to terms with it.

With a bitter smile, I continued to drink.

Lin Anqi seemed completely unaware of this as she sat quietly beside Gu Yuanzhou.

Her face was filled with a happy smile, yet her behavior was proper, unlike other women who would lean on a man’s shoulder or have any intimate interaction with Gu Yuanzhou.

She maintained propriety and elegance, only occasionally turning to Gu Yuanzhou for advice when Lin Nansheng asked her certain questions.

Gu Yuanzhou would explain to her politely and earnestly.

For the first half hour, I behaved properly, hardly letting any flaws show.

But no matter how proper it was, it was all an act.

Inside, I was actually quite uncomfortable.

I felt that if I sat any longer, I might lose control.

So I stood up and said to Lin Nansheng,

“Uncle Lin, I have some things to do, so I need to leave early.”

Lin Nansheng asked,

“Have you eaten enough?”

“Yes, I’m full!”

At this time, Lin Anqi also stood up and came over to me,

“Sister, it’s late; let me take you home!”

“No need, it’s fine. Today is your birthday, so let me wish you a happy birthday. I’ll just take a taxi home by myself later.”

Gu Yuanzhou sat by the dining table without moving, seemingly calm as he gave me a glance.

“Louis, could you take my sister home? I’d like to chat with the uncles for a bit longer!”

Lin Anqi’s voice was gentle, her words polite and fitting.

Gu Yuanzhou then stood up,

“Leave it to me! You go ahead and enjoy the meal with the uncles.”

Lin Anqi took the suit jacket from the back of the chair and handed it to Gu Yuanzhou,

“Louis, I’m entrusting my sister to you; take good care of her for me.”

I hurriedly declined,

“Anqi, I can get back by myself, don’t bother you guys.”

“Sister, don’t be like that. Dad won’t be at ease if you go back alone, and neither will I. Louis drives very safely; I would be at ease if he took you back.”

I knew that if I refused again, it would come off somewhat affected.

After saying goodbye to her, I left.

To avoid walking with him, I quickened my pace.

He followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Once inside the elevator, the narrow space left only the two of us.

He lit a cigarette.

The numbers on the elevator panel were slowly changing, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head towards me,

“If you have anything you want to ask me now, you can ask.”

“Questions?”

I indeed had a multitude of questions, very, very many.

Broadly, how had he escaped the death penalty, then fled abroad?

And how had he got to know Lin Anqi, and then entered into a romantic relationship with her?

More recently, during the time I was blind, had he been the one taking care of me?

A myriad of questions, too numerous to count.

Moreover, I had indeed wanted to ask him these questions, countless times I had wanted to find him and get straight answers.
