Xu Weibei Wants to Come Clean

Until she felt there were no more obstacles to getting married.

Gu Wanning: "..."

Oh no, it seems she's met her match with a stubborn mule.

Chapter 248 Xu Weibei Wants to Confess

Xu Weibei didn't give Gu Wanning a chance to refuse.

"I'm hungry, make me some noodles, I'll start a fire for you." He quickly changed the subject, "Let's buy some vegetables on the way back, I want to eat meat! The sweet meat you made last time was delicious..."

Gu Wanning remained silent, but Xu Weibei kept rambling on and on, even buying a basket to carry, and enthusiastically dragging Gu Wanning to buy groceries.

Gu Wanning speechlessly questioned the heavens, "Where have you hidden that aloof and proud Marquis?"

I don't want this shameful man in front of me...

Where's the shelf?

My Marquis, could you please put on some airs?

This is terrible!

When Xu Weibei went to Gu Wanning's house again, he acted like he was in charge, looking around everywhere!

Gu Wanning pretended to be blind and didn't see it in order to control the overwhelming urge within her to drive him away.

He was just released, just released, Gu Wanning kept reminding herself, taking a deep breath, and then another.

She managed to avoid hurting Xu Weibei, but accidentally pricked her hand on a splinter from the side of the cutting board, causing her to gasp.

"What's wrong? Let me see." Xu Weibei rushed over.

Gu Wanning reached out and pulled the thorn out, saying nonchalantly, "It's nothing."

"It's bleeding, and it's still bleeding."

Gu Wanning was speechless. "It's just a small bloodstain, it's nothing."

"Where is that person? Er Ya, go and fetch that person, and tell her to bring some medicine for external injuries."

Gu Wanning: "... No need!"

Are you crazy?

Xu Weibei, be normal for once.

If you keep acting like that brainless, domineering CEO, I'll start to dislike you and dump you.

"Let her see and put her mind at ease. My dad didn't pay attention to a small injury, and then he died."

He had never believed that his father had died from such a minor injury.

Therefore, he harbored resentment towards the emperor, believing that the emperor was suspicious of his father and had taken action against him.

Later, he went to the battlefield himself and witnessed many life-and-death situations, and only then did he understand the weight of the words "life and death are impermanent".

However, these facts are insufficient to prove the emperor's innocence.

However, recently he has had plenty of time to think, and the emperor has also had someone tell him about what happened back then.

The emperor said something that Xu Weibei could not refute.

The Emperor said, "Your achievements have already surpassed those of your father."

Your arrogance has only grown stronger.

If I were to intend to kill you, ask yourself honestly, how much incriminating evidence have you given me?

It turns out, the Emperor knew everything.

Therefore, Xu Weibei is now uncertain.

He wondered if his father had truly died from his worsening injuries?

Xu Weibei also wanted to ask Physician Bian about this matter.

When my father passed away, Physician Bian was not by his side; he was in the Capital.

However, one of the accompanying doctors was an apprentice of Physician Bian.

That apprentice later returned to his hometown to take care of his parents.

When Gu Wanning heard Xu Weibei mention his deceased father, she immediately became less agitated.

It turns out that Xu Weibei was expressing his feelings.

"It's alright," she said softly. "It's nothing serious."

"What do you want to cut? I'll help you; you just need to give directions." Xu Weibei rolled up his sleeves. "Today, I'm your soldier."

Gu Wanning was both amused and exasperated. "I think you're more like my illness."

A mental illness.

"Stop fooling around, sit down and rest for a while, you'll help with the fire later." Gu Wanning said, looking at him with disdain.

If I had the time to teach and instruct him, I would have finished the job myself long ago.

"Gu Wanning," Xu Weibei sat down in front of the stove and added a piece of firewood to the pot, "I don't want to think about those messy things anymore. I've figured it out, God can't give me everything good."

Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does life have its imperfections.

Having achieved fame at a young age and been the focus of attention; having shed his youthful arrogance and naiveté, and with beautiful women and soulmates by his side, Xu Weibei felt he had already gained more than enough.

It's not that I don't feel regret, but I can't give up all the good things in life just because I've lost something.

That was not only his happiness, but also Gu Wanning's happiness.

He will make up for what he owes her in other ways.

"It's good that you've come to terms with it. I really, really don't care about your disability at all. Really, I'm very anxious about things like relationships and the pain of childbirth. I'm different from others; I've never really thought about relationships." Gu Wanning said sincerely.

Honestly, she's a visual creature; appreciating handsome men is enough for her.

She felt embarrassed whenever she thought about doing intimate things with someone she had never experienced before.

Perhaps things will be better after getting through that hurdle, but Gu Wanning feels just as good as not having to go through it.

Their love was genuine, pure, and based on a soul attraction unrelated to physical attraction.

"There's something I haven't told you yet," Xu Weibei changed the subject.

He looked at the Fifty Thousand Taels of silver outside who kept spitting at him, and didn't know how to be honest with Gu Wanning without making her angry.

But he didn't want to hide it from her anymore.

Although teasing her before was indeed wrong, he was more worried that it would become a threat to their relationship.

Hidden dangers must never be allowed to exist.

"You don't mean you have a few concubines or mistresses you keep for other people, do you?" Gu Wanning teased him.

Tsk tsk, what Xu Weibei did was just stupid.

Xu Weibei also felt disgusted when the matter was brought up.

He thought of Linglong.

Linglong has no memory of past kindness and seems to have become a completely different person.

She got what she wanted and secured a legitimate status for her daughter. If she had simply behaved herself and raised her daughter, that would have been fine.

But she just wouldn't.
