Are you using me?

At this time, Lin Mufan still didn't know that Gu Anning was already on his way back. Now that Qin Kun had brought up this matter again, it made him think once again of those days when he was still in the pauper's cave.

When he returned, he rested for a while. Just as he closed his eyes, before he entered into deep sleep, he uncontrollably dreamt of the scene when Lin Yan was about to die.

Because of her malnutrition and long term fatigue, Lin Yan had already become unrecognizable. Lin Yan was a hoodlum, while the small clinic was useless, but the big hospital refused to accept him.

That feeling of helplessness during that period of time had caused him to feel despair. He could only watch as his only family members slowly exhausted themselves until they finally died on the sickbed. He knew that it was a dream, but it was also a true experience. He knew very well that this was a thing of the past. He was lost in this dream, unable to wake up even if he wanted to.

"Lin Mufan, Lin Mufan, wake up." Suddenly, Gu Anning's clear voice sounded by his ear. He was shocked and sat up from the sofa, perspiring profusely.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Anning half-squatting beside him, with a face full of worry looking at him. Just a moment agohee felt as though he had fallen into an icehouse because of her dream mirror, but when she saw Gu Anning, she gradually warmed up. He suddenly reached out and pulled Gu Anning into his embrace, hugging him tightly.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? " Gu Anning did not push Lin Mufan away, but instead, wrapped his arms around his shoulders and patted him gently with great force.

The moment she entered, she saw Lin Mufan's face filled with pain and perspiration, and then she opened her mouth to wake him up.

"Yes." Lin Mufan replied indifferently.

Neither of them spoke as they quietly enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

"Lin Mufan, can I ask you a question?" Gu Anning asked softly.

"What?" Lin Mufan lazily asked, he did not want to say anything at the moment, so he just quietly hugged Gu Anning, giving off the feeling that everything was peaceful and good.

"Lin Mufan, am I a step on your path to revenge?" Gu Anning still asked, she asked, "You married me because you want Qin Shikai to be embarrassed, am I your tool for revenge?"

Lin Mufan's brows tightly knitted, and did not say a word.

Gu Anning was definitely the only accident on his path of revenge, making him feel that other than revenge, there was another meaning to his life.

Until now, when Lin Mufan responded, Gu Anning's heart had slowly turned ice-cold. Could Qin Shikai have been right, the reason Lin Mufan had done so much to her was just for revenge.

"Alright, I understand." Gu Anning lowered his gaze, and in his heart, he felt a chill as he pushed away Lin Mufan's embrace, and said: "I'll be leaving first."

Lin Mufan didn't stop Gu Anning as he watched him leave.

It was not that he did not want to leave Gu Anning behind, nor was it that he wanted to use Gu Anning to take revenge on the Qin Family, to take revenge on Qin Shikai. His methods were not that despicable.

He could say to Gu Anning: "No, the reason I'm marrying you is because I like you."

But since Gu Anning asked him, it showed that she was worried about him. Someone must have said something to her, she had to think of a way to dispel Gu Anning's concerns and not get provoked again.

Only, he did not expect that Gu Anning was even more stubborn than he thought.

Gu Anxi stayed in the room the whole time. He did not sleep well last night, he was initially waiting for Qin Shikai to come over before she came out. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep inside the room. When she came out again, Gu Zhiheng was the only one left in the Gu household.

"Dad, where is Auntie Liang? Is Shikai brother here? " Gu Anxi ran down the stairs and asked anxiously.

Gu Zhiheng thought about what he heard today, and the expression on his face became somewhat subtle, saying, "They have already left."

"Ah, he already left?" Gu Anxi was a little disappointed. She had not seen the Shikai brother yet, so she said: "Then has the matter with the Qin Family been resolved?"

"The current crisis in Qin Family is a huge problem. No one can get involved with it easily." Gu Zhiheng sighed and waved Gu Anxi over, allowing Gu Anxi to sit beside him. He lovingly patted Gu Anxi's head and said: "An Xi, you're already a big girl now. I know you have a lot of feelings for me, it's not that I don't want to help Qin Family. You don't know the situation at home, but our Gu family can't even protect ourselves now, so we don't have the energy to help the Qin Family. With Qin Family's current situation, if we had to wade through this muddy water, I'm afraid that she would even join our family. I hope you can understand Father and not bother about the matters of Qin Family in the future. "

It was not that Gu Zhiheng was not touched by his words, but no matter how greatly he was touched, it couldn't compare to the place Qin Shikai occupied in her heart.

She now understood that she did not want to think of any other way. Gu Zhiheng would not help Qin Family.

"It's good that you know." Qin Zhiheng thought that Gu Anxi had truly been convinced by him, and said happily.

Before dinner, Gu Anning who had already left, returned.

"An Ran, didn't you go back? Why are you back? " Gu Zhiheng asked: "Have you eaten?"

Gu Anning did not want to worry Gu Zhiheng, so she forced out a smile and said: "I've already eaten, Lin Mufan's company already had some matters to attend to so I went to work overtime. I was bored staying at home by myself, so I simply came back."

With regards to Gu Anning's explanation, Gu Zhiheng didn't doubt it at all. He only sighed and said, "You also told Mu Fan to not work too hard and never finish all the work. Furthermore, you are still newlyweds, where do you plan to go on your honeymoon? "

"We haven't discussed this yet." Gu Anning replied perfunctorily, "Father, I'm a little tired too. I want to go back to my room to rest first. You and An Xi can eat slowly."

Then she turned and went upstairs.

Gu Anxi looked at Gu Anning's back figure as if he had thought about something. He felt that Gu Anning was hiding something from them.

When Gu Anning returned to his room, he panicked when she thought of Lin Mufan's silence.

Logically speaking, even if Lin Mufan's goal in marrying her was only for revenge, so what? Their Gu family also received tangible benefits, they had 10% of the shares of the Lin's disease. Lin Mufan's goal in marrying her, was impossible for her to marry the man he liked.

But when she thought about how Lin Mufan lied to her about everything he said, she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart.

She thought that it was probably because the promise Lin Mufan gave her was too beautiful that she had taken it for real.

She tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep. She was thinking about how she should handle her relationship with Lin Mufan. In fact, the best way was to pretend that he did not know anything until Lin Mufan finished his revenge and kicked her away.

The Gu family had gained the benefits they deserved, and she would also gain the freedom she had always dreamed of. This was very good. But even if she wanted to, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

After thinking for an entire night, she finally decided. Other people could use her, but this other person did not include Lin Mufan. Even though she did not want to admit it, she had to admit that Lin Mufan was different from others in her heart.

Just before dawn, she made her decision.

Gu Anxi woke up early in the morning and prepared to look for Qin Shikai.

After yesterday's meal, it was already too late. Qin Family still harbored unhappiness towards their Gu family, so it wouldn't be good for her to go to Qin Family to look for Qin Shikai himself. He didn't even get a good night's sleep and got up very early today.

At this moment, Qin Shikai was extremely anxious and worried about the matters of the company. However, right at this time, Liang Ziqi suddenly started crying with him, saying that Qin Kun was going to divorce her because of that bitch Lin Yan, causing Qin Shikai to have a headache. However, Liang Ziqi was his mother. He had a headache from being quarreled, so he couldn't let others drive her away.

"He was just impulsive. The relationship between you and him for so many years, he wouldn't really divorce you." Qin Shikai suppressed the annoyance in his heart and comforted Liang Ziqi.

Liang Ziqi's eyes were red and swollen, she wiped away his tears and said: "You don't understand your father, Lin Yan that fox spirit has already hook your father's soul away, now that bitch Lin Yan has even given birth to a son. I'm afraid that your father will only have eyes for that bastard Lin Mu. If we don't take your father and the company into our hands, then your father will probably be bewitched, and even the company will have to give that bastard Lin Mufan. "

Qin Shikai frowned. Thinking back to the time when he saw the usually calm Qin Kun lose his composure, he felt that Liang Ziqi's words could not be considered as alarmist.

"I got it. Mom, you go home first. I'll find a chance to talk to dad. There are still a lot of things to deal with at work." Qin Shikai patted Liang Ziqi's shoulder and comforted him.

Liang Ziqi also knew that the company was currently in a state of suffering, it was just that these words were stuck in her stomach. If she did not find someone to pour out his heart out to, or to find someone to support her, she was afraid that he would go crazy.

Now that she knew that her son was standing on her side, she was relieved. She took a look at Qin Shikai's office to make up her face before leaving Qin Shikai's office.

Just as Qin Shikai sent Liang Ziqi away, Gu Anxi came over.

He had originally planned to not meet with Gu Anxi, but after thinking about it, since Gu Anxi still had uses for him, he got his secretary to bring him into his office.

"Anxi, why are you here?" Qin Shikai asked.

When Gu Anxi saw Qin Shikai, his face immediately flushed red, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at Qin Shikai and said: "Nothing, I'm just a little worried for you. How is it going with the company? Is it settled? "

A hint of sadness flashed across Qin Shikai's face, and he said: "A while ago, you actually took all the funds from the Qin family into that land. All the capital chains in the Qin family have snapped and the company is no longer able to operate them. "

He did not know why he had to tell this to a little girl like Gu Anxi, but it was probably because Gu Anxi looked at him with a gaze that could not be hidden from the burning feelings in his heart.

Qin Shikai's almost heartfelt words made Gu Anxi so excited that his face turned red.

"Shikai brother, I'm sorry, I am unable to help. I was at home begging my father to help you, but he wouldn't. " Gu Anxi said to Gu Anxi apologetically.

"Silly girl, this isn't something a little girl like you can solve." Qin Shikai casually comforted her.

If the matter with the company was solved by a little girl like Gu Anxi, it would not give him so much of a headache.

Seeing Qin Shikai's gentle appearance, Gu Anxi's blushing face looked even more like cooked prawns. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and he suddenly had the urge to confess.

She wanted to stay by Qin Shikai's side during Qin Shikai's most difficult time.
