CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Vengeance from Opposites

Lin Mufan had been cooped up in the Gu household for the majority of the day, and even though he had suffered so much under Gu Anning's supercilious gaze, he was still happy and mischievous.

If Meng Qi had not called him and told him that there was an emergency at work that he needed to deal with, he would have stayed back for dinner.

"The company has some matters that they require me to take care of. I have to leave first. "Sorry, I won't be accompanying you today, see you tomorrow." Lin Mufan took the jacket from the servant's hands and said to Gu Anning intimately.

Gu Anning sighed in his heart, and was finally going.

With a look of disgust, she urged him, "If you want to leave, then leave."

Lin Mufan tyrannically embraced her shoulders, forcing her to walk out together, his mouth slightly raised: "Your future husband is leaving, you aren't sending him off? "It really makes me sad."

Gu Anning struggled free, but his body was so hard that it couldn't be pushed aside.

She could only passively follow Lin Mufan out. She asked mockingly: "Can I choose not to send you off?"

"No." Lin Mufan said in a domineering tone.

"Then why are you asking?" Gu Anning asked snappily.

"I just want to talk to you." Lin Mufan replied shamelessly.

Gu Anning felt that he had nothing to say, so he shut his mouth and did not reply to Lin Mufan.

After sending her to the door, she pulled off Lin Mufan's arm that was wrapped around her shoulders, and with her hands on her chest, she turned around to face him and asked: "Alright, we're already at the door, now it's okay, right?"

"It's done." Lin Mufan leaned forward, and suddenly appeared in front of her.

A wave of dangerous aura assaulted her and she was greatly shocked. She reflexively retreated a few steps back, straight to the side of Lin Mufan's car with no place to retreat: "Stay far away from me, don't get so close to me."

Lin Mufan stretched out his hand and pressed it against the carriage, trapping her between his arms. He squinted his eyes and laughed sinisterly: "What's the matter, we're about to get married. We've already done even more intimate things."

Gu Anning's face alternated between green and white, and his breathing was filled with the smell of Lin Mufan's body, so warm that it almost suffocated her.

Right now, she was already regretting her promise to marry Lin Mufan. She didn't know if she could go back on her words.

"It's too late." Lin Mufan said as if he could understand her thoughts, "Before we leave, don't you want to kiss me goodbye?"

Lin Mufan raised an eyebrow on her right hand, but decided not to bother with it. Although her future wife would be very interesting to tease, it would not be good if she was angry.

"Take good care of yourself, I'm leaving first." Lin Mufan straightened his body, and touched his sleeves as he spoke.

Gu Anning stood in his original position and watched Lin Mufan leave.

Only when Lin Mufan's car was out of her sight did she turn around to leave.

In the evening, she suddenly received a call from Qin Shikai.

She frowned slightly, not knowing if she should pick up the phone. With the situation between her and Qin Shikai, it would be best for them to interact less.

It was Qin Shikai who seemed to be carrying her on his shoulder, as the phone continuously rang.

She was afraid that Qin Shikai had urgent matters to discuss with her, so after hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up the phone.

"An Ran, you're finally willing to answer the phone. I want to see you." Qin Shikai's voice was slightly hoarse and low, his voice was filled with pleading: "I'm right outside your house, can you come out and see me?"

Gu Ningan's heart twitched. Qin Shikai had always been proud, but this was the first time she had heard Qin Shikai speak in such a petty and low tone.

"Alright." Gu Anning did not have the heart to continue refusing.

She was holding her phone, but as soon as she went out, she saw Qin Shikai standing outside her door.

He was leaning on his walking stick as he stood there. During this time, he had lost a lot of weight. His usual straight figure was also slightly stooped, and his entire person looked haggard and haggard …

She felt pain in Gu Anning's heart. Although she didn't love Qin Shikai, she had grown up together with him, and they had feelings for each other as well. Seeing Qin Shikai like this, she felt very sad in his heart.

"Shikai, you haven't recovered yet. Why are you here? Can you get out of the hospital now? " Gu Anning walked over quickly and held Qin Shikai's arm.

Qin Shikai stared at Gu Anning's pure and beautiful face greedily. Only God knows how much he had missed her these past few days. Every second since Gu Anxi brought news that Gu Anning and Lin Mufan were really going to get married, and the angry words that he had said without even doing it on purpose, were torture for him.

An Xi said that you really want to marry Lin Mufan, and not say those angry words to me. You're telling me that An Xi is lying to me, right? Qin Shikai grabbed Gu Anning's shoulder and asked emotionally.

Gu Anning frowned, and said: "Shikai, calm down, it's true. I am really going to marry Lin Mufan, and my father has also agreed, we are already preparing for the wedding. "

"You are my fiancee, how can you marry Lin Mufan?" Qin Shikai asked her with a solemn face.

"We've already broken up." Gu Anning rubbed his forehead tiredly. She felt that she had explained everything to Qin Shikai clearly, but Qin Shikai still didn't seem to understand.

"I don't agree. We were fine before, but why did we suddenly break up? "Why?" Qin Shikai asked excitedly.

"Because I have already thought it through clearly. Shikai, I don't love you. Since I was young, I have only treated you as an older brother. I was wrong to agree to the engagement, Shikai was sorry. Let's be friends, just like we used to be. " Gu Anning explained sincerely.

"You know, I have always liked you since I was young. Is it because of Lin Mufan that you want to break up with me?" Qin Shikai could not accept this reality. He angrily questioned: "Lin Mufan is not a good person, he just wants to use you to retaliate against me. An Ran, believe me."

"Shikai, this is a matter between us, why do you have to involve Lin Mufan in this? I broke up with you only because I thought of you as an older brother. " Gu Anning couldn't understand why Qin Shikai kept dragging Lin Mufan into the mix.

"Calm down, let's make up, don't marry Lin Mufan." Qin Shikai obstinately persisted on with his own thoughts.

Gu Anning felt that he and Qin Shikai were becoming more and more unable to communicate, and Qin Shikai seemed to not listen to her words at all, and only stubbornly insisted on his own opinion.

"Impossible." Gu Anning's attitude also became unyielding.

There were two things she could not agree to Qin Shikai's request.

"You like Lin Mufan, don't you? That's why you want to break up with me and marry Lin Mufan? " Qin Shikai revealed ridicule in his eyes as he said to Gu Anning: "Even though he and I were engaged, he was still tangled up with Lin Mufan, and even put on a green hat for me. Now you simply want to break up with me and be with Lin Mufan, is this how you treat me, Gu Anning? Are you really as everyone says, a woman with the nature of a flower blooming in water, a woman who goes from morning to evening? "

Gu Anning didn't know how to explain either.

Even though she was the client, she didn't know how it had happened that day.

Being scolded like this by Qin Shikai, it was not as if she didn't feel bad. She treated Qin Shikai as a big brother, but he didn't expect that this was how Qin Shikai thought of her.

She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but her expression became increasingly indifferent.

Since Qin Shikai didn't want to believe her, no matter how much she explained, it would be useless. She said: "Shikai, the matter of and I getting married will never change. If you must think that I've let you down, that I've betrayed you, that it'll make you feel better, then just think of me as the kind of person you're talking about. "

"Gu Anning, I have misjudged you. I have finally seen your true face today. Do you think that the Qin Family is finished, and immediately got on the large ship that is the Lin Family? " Qin Shikai felt that his entire world had collapsed, so he asked angrily.

His heart hurt, and he wanted to use the most malicious words in the world to stab Gu Anning. He wanted her to accompany him in the pain.

Gu Anning felt bitter in his heart, he never thought that she and Qin Shikai would both reach this step in the end.

"Whatever you think." He was really tired and did not want to explain to Qin Shikai anymore.

She turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and said, "Shikai, cherish the person in front of you. Anxi loves you very much. You should cherish his properly. She is more suitable for you than I am."

"Hahaha …" Qin Shikai suddenly laughed out loud, and said: "Gu Anning, I truly hate you, you clearly know that the person I love is you, yet you pushed me to another woman. You are afraid that I would continue to pester you in the future, so you can rest assured that today, I, Qin Shikai, will break off all ties with you, Gu Anning.

Gu Anning's heart clenched, she did not turn his head, and said: "Do as you wish."

Then he turned around and went back inside.

As Qin Shikai watched Gu Anning's figure disappear from his line of sight, the hope in his eyes slowly disappeared bit by bit. As long as Gu Anning was willing to turn around, even if he only looked back at him, he would not be in such despair.

This was the first time he truly felt that Gu Anning wasn't lying to him, that she really didn't love him at all.

"Lin Mufan, I lost to you." The smile on Qin Shikai's face became more and more miserable.

What could be more cruel than admitting it yourself and losing to your opponent? He lost, lost miserably, lost his beloved women all to Lin Mufan.

Gu Anning felt very uncomfortable in his heart. After so many years of relationship, he never thought that they would end up as enemies in the end.

In his heart, he was still worried about Qin Shikai, as the injuries on his body had not healed yet.

Right now, Qin Shikai would definitely hate her to death. Even if she were to express goodwill, with Qin Shikai's character, he wouldn't accept it. She was worried for Qin Shikai, so he went upstairs and knocked on his room.

Gu Anxi saw that Gu Anning had asked with an impatient face, "What are you doing?"

"Shikai is outside, he's still injured, send him back to the hospital," Gu Anning said to her softly as he was accustomed to Gu Anxi's uncertain personality. In the end, he added, "Don't tell him that I asked you to go over."

"Why is the Shikai brother here? The injuries on his body have not healed yet." Upon hearing Qin Shikai's name, Gu Anxi immediately asked worriedly: "What happened between you and Shikai brother?"

If nothing happened, Gu Anning would not specially add the last sentence.

"I have a misunderstanding with Shikai. Hurry up and go." Gu Anning was unwilling to talk more about the dispute between his and Qin Shikai. He only urged him, "Shikai's health is not good, go quickly."

Although she was not satisfied that Gu Anxi had not been able to find anything, she was more worried about Qin Shikai.
