Chapter 159 I’m not negotiating with you
The humble tone of pleading made Shen Yanqing's heart ache instantly.
He held her hands tightly, trying to warm them with his body temperature.
Gu Baiwei's brows were tightly knitted together, her expression was painful.
There was a blazing red fire before my eyes. The night was cool as water and the breeze was blowing gently, but it could not blow out the raging fire.
Gu Baiwei knelt in a sea of fire. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and saw a hideous Yaksha mask.
"Please, save my family!"
The man in black wearing a Yasha mask slowly bent down and looked at her with a pair of dark eyes: "You want me to help you save them?"
Gu Baiwei nodded desperately, her tone almost pleading humbly: "Please, no matter what the price is for me."
The thin lips under the mask raised a happy arc: "I can save them, but you have to promise to marry me."
"Okay, as long as you can save them."
Gu Baiwei gritted her teeth and agreed, but her heart suddenly ached.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was in this inexplicable dream. This time was different from the past. She was floating alone in the air like a ghost, witnessing everything happening below, but she could clearly sense all the joys and sorrows of that body.
Even the senses can communicate with that body.
"Swallow this, or I won't be able to trust you completely."
A man's voice without any warmth came to my ears, low and cold, like a devil from hell.
She raised her head and met the man's cold eyes, her heart trembling slightly.
The man turned his palm over, and a pitch-black pill lay quietly on his overly pale palm.
The pill was only the size of a fingernail, and in the bright moonlight, she seemed to see something slowly moving inside it.
Subconsciously, she wanted to refuse, but when she heard crying and screaming coming from behind her, she paused and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
"Okay, I'll eat."
She reached out, grabbed the pill, put it into her mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it.
"Can you help me save people now?"
She raised her pale little face and looked at the man in black. The bright moonlight fell on her face, as if casting a layer of soft light on her face.
The man lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the girl's red lips, and his eyes scanned them inch by inch in obsession: "Okay."
He raised his wide sleeves and waved them lightly. His black robe fluttered and a strong wind blew up. The fire that had just spread all over the prairie was extinguished in an instant.
He bent his slender fingers slightly and flicked them lightly at the closed door.
The door that had been tightly closed just now opened automatically in an instant, and the people imprisoned inside rushed out screaming, their faces full of joy at escaping death.
Gu's father and mother were helped out of the room by the servants. When they saw their beloved daughter standing in the yard, surprise flashed across their faces. They immediately broke free from the servants' help, rushed forward and tightly grasped Gu Baiwei's hand: "Weiwei, I'm so glad you're okay."
Gu Baiwei's face was full of surprise. Just as she was about to step forward, her wrist was grabbed by a cold, thin hand.
"Weiwei, don't forget what you promised me."
The man whispered in her ear, his voice so cold that it made her feel cold all over.
Gu Baiwei gritted her teeth and stopped walking. She stood where she was, looked deeply at her parents, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to them.
"Father, mother, I want to marry this young man."
"what?"
Mother Gu was puzzled. "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Aren't you attracted to Mr. Shen? Your father is going to mediate for you these two days. Why are you marrying someone else now? Marriage is not a joke."
"Uncle and aunt, my name is Qi Yu. I have met you once before."
The man in black took off the mask, revealing a pale and handsome face.
This time, not only Gu's father and mother, but even Gu Baiwei were a little surprised. They never expected that this extremely weird-looking man was actually Qi Yu who had pretended to be Ye Yunting before.
Qi Yu is Ye Yunting's cousin. Because Ye Yunting had a lover, he asked Qi Yu to impersonate himself and destroy his marriage with Gu Baiwei. However, he didn't expect that not long after their marriage was cancelled, Gu Baiwei was going to marry someone else's cousin. How could this be?
Father Gu frowned. Compared to Master Qi, he valued Master Shen more.
The Shen family has been officials for generations and has a clean family background. Mr. Shen is also a rare talent, not only with outstanding looks, but also with both civil and military talents.
If such a person were to pair with their Weiwei, it would definitely be a match made in heaven.
In comparison, although this Master Qi is not bad looking, he seems to have evil intentions and his health does not seem to be very good. He is not a good son-in-law.
"Nonsense! Marriage is no joke!"
Father Gu frowned and looked at Qi Yu with a serious expression: "Master Qi, my daughter has always been willful. When it comes to marriage, it is still necessary to follow the rules and regulations of the parents and the matchmaker. For today's matter, why don't we..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yu interrupted him: "Uncle Gu, I am here today to propose to Miss Gu."
After saying that, he clapped his hands twice.
Two teams of people walked in from outside the door, carrying several large boxes in their hands.
Those people were all dressed in black, with cold eyes and steady and powerful steps. They definitely did not look like ordinary people, but rather like they knew Kung Fu.
A dozen large boxes were lined up in two rows in the courtyard.
The boxes were all opened one after another. The row on the left was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, while the row on the right was filled with precious porcelain, cloth, etc.
Everyone in the yard was stunned for a moment. It was the first time they had seen such a large-scale marriage proposal.
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, you have seen my sincerity. What do you think?"
The words were respectful, but the tone and attitude of the speech were not respectful at all.
Father Gu refused without even thinking: "Master Qi, we are marrying our daughter, not selling her. Please take the things back. As for your marriage with Weiwei, we will discuss it later."
By not directly refusing him in person, Gu's father felt that he was already giving Qi Yu face.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yu smiled and said, "Master Gu, I am not discussing with you, but informing you."
As he said that, he grabbed Gu Baiwei's hand and interlocked their fingers forcefully: "Weiwei, is that right?"
There was no light in his dark eyes, and when he looked at her, he was like a beast staring at its prey.
Gu Baiwei's heartbeat slowed slightly. She lowered her eyes for a while and spoke in a low voice: "Please help me, father and mother. I have been attracted to Master Qi for a long time."
"you……"
Father Gu was so angry that his face turned pale and he covered his chest with his hands, breathing heavily.
Mother Gu hurried forward to support him: "Weiwei, marriage is not a joke. Haven't you always been in love with Mr. Shen? Your father has already made an appointment with Mr. Shen to discuss your marriage tomorrow."
"Mother, I was ignorant before, but now I have figured it out. The one I like is Master Qi. I was just confused for a moment and I don't have any true feelings for Master Shen..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a bang of a door behind him, and a handsome man in a silver helmet and armor stood tall at the door, his face as cold as water.
