Qiu Zining hurriedly defended: "No, my benefactor, I didn't mean to tie you up. As long as my benefactor promises me something, I will let him go immediately!"
"What if I don't agree?" Gu Man said coldly.
Qiu Zining was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile and looked at Gu Man with pleading eyes, "How about... I tell you what it is first? Then my benefactor will decide?"
Gu Man sneered and said first again: "Don't you just want me to be with you? I'll tell you now, I don't, yes!"
Qiu Zining fell to the ground, his eyes full of sadness, "Why...why?"
"Why? Qiu Zining, do you think there is a future between us? Don't forget, I am the Prime Minister's daughter and the Marquis's wife. They will find me soon!"
Qiu Zining stood up and looked at Gu Man, "Don't worry, my benefactor, this house is the house I lived in before I won the first prize in the exam. Now I have bought it. It is in a remote place and they won't find it!"
"
Gu Man's heart suddenly went cold... Thank you!
Gu Man calmed down and looked at Qiu Zining, "So...are you going to lock me in this room for the rest of my life?"
Qiu Zining frowned slightly and comforted you with a guilty look on his face: "I have indeed wronged you a little, but don't worry, I will come to see you every day! I won't make you feel bored!"
"Qiu Zining!" Gu Man said angrily: "Is this how you repay me? I'm warning you, let me go as soon as possible before you make a big mistake!!"
Qiu Zining suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Man's arm, comforting him: "My dear friend, don't worry, it's not that I won't let you go. It's just that if I let you go, you will return to that person's clutches.
You are not good at all!"
Gu Man laughed angrily and stared at Qiu Zining, "So, you tied me to a chair and imprisoned me in this room?"
Qiu Zining said anxiously: "No, benefactor, don't worry, I won't let you stay here forever! I will definitely think of a way! I will definitely think of a way for us to stay together and fly together!"
"Qiu Zining, you said you like me, is that how you like me? You said that when I returned to Cheng Mo, I fell into the clutches of the devil, but as far as I am concerned, are you not the devil who persecutes me?"
Qiu Zining was very shocked, "No... my dear friend, I didn't want to harm you!"
Gu Man sneered: "Really? Then have you ever thought that if you imprison me here, the news of my disappearance will spread throughout the capital in a short time, and how will others arrange me by then? Are you dissatisfied with me?
Isn’t my reputation bad enough? You also know that my reputation is not very good. When you come up with a solution, will I still be able to appear in the sun as freely as I do now? "
"No, I am not……"
Seeing Qiu Zining's panic, Gu Man decided to calm him down for now, at least to stop him from doing anything to hurt her out of impulse.
"Qiu Zining, I know you are doing it for my own good. To tell you the truth, I have decided to make peace with Cheng Mo!"
Hearing Gu Man's words, Qiu Zining couldn't believe it but said with some surprise: "Is it true?"
Gu Man nodded, "Really! I have already told my father and my mother. If you don't believe it, just ask them! Qiu Zining, don't be stupid again! Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, you really have to give up for me
Is it your fame? If you really want to be with me, why not wait a few days until Cheng Mo and I officially reconcile? Then, how about you take three matchmakers and six beauties to my house to propose marriage? "
Qiu Zining looked up at Gu Man with eyes full of surprise, "My dear friend...are you telling the truth? Are you willing to marry me?"
Gu Man nodded, "Of course! You are the number one scholar and your future is limitless. If you like me, of course I am willing to marry you!"
Qiu Zining's eyes seemed to shine, and then the light in his eyes suddenly went out, "But... you just said you didn't want to..."
Gu Man said hurriedly: "When I say I don't want to, I mean I don't want to be secretly with you all my life, because I am still the wife of the Hou Mansion in name. If Cheng Mo and I make peace, you can come and marry me openly.
, okay?"
Qiu Zining's eyes were full of joy again, but suddenly he changed again, "No..."
Gu Man's heart was lifted again... Why can't you do it, brother?
Just listen to Qiu Zining continue: "If I let you go, the teacher will not agree to us being together, and you will tell the teacher that I tied you up."
Gu Man shook her head, "Don't worry, I won't tell my father. Now that I have decided to be with you, you and I are one. I will only defend you and will not say anything bad about you. Moreover,
You are my father's protégé and the number one scholar in this subject! And I am just a fallen flower. If you marry me, it will be too late for my father to be happy, so how can he disagree?"
Gu Man pretended to be ashamed and said: "I'm just afraid that your reputation will be ruined by then? Why don't I just become your concubine in the future? In this way, outsiders won't say anything about you.
!”
Seeing how Gu Man was sincere and caring about him, Qiu Zining was moved and her trust in Gu Man reached 100%.
Qiu Zining raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Man's smooth and delicate cheek, and said lovingly: "My dear friend... no, no more, don't worry, I won't care what others say about me, you are me
My only wife, having you in this life is enough!"
Gu Man resisted the chill in her heart, but had to continue to comfort him, "Zining, thank you... Then can you let me go? My hand hurts so much from the rope..."
Qiu Zining was stunned, nodded quickly, and then went around behind Gu Man to untie the rope from his wrist. After untying the rope, he saw that Gu Man's slender and tender arms had been rubbed with bloodshot eyes, and his heart ached.
Incessantly, the speed of untying the rope increased.
Qiu Zining walked up to Gu Man and untied the rope wrapped around Gu Man's upper body, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
Gu Man grinned and forced out what was probably a gentle smile...
At this moment, someone kicked the wooden door open, and the two weak wooden doors fell to the ground.
Gu Man and Qiu Zining were startled by the sudden sound, and then both looked towards the door.
Because Qiu Zining was untying Gu Man, to outsiders, it looked like Qiu Zining was lying on Gu Man's body and molesting her.
Cheng Mo, who broke in through the door, stepped forward and kicked Qiu Zining to the ground. Qiu Zining instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Following closely behind Cheng Mo were Liu Changqing, Gu Qinghe and others.
Gu Man breathed a long sigh of relief... Fortunately, okay, she was safe...
