Ugh, stay away from me, you make me sick

After a while, Gu Wanqing slowly pulled away from Lin Ao's lips, leaving behind a slightly damp sensation.

The corners of her mouth held a faint, glistening droplet.

She pinched Lin Ao's chin and lifted his face; her complexion was flushed and shy, as this was her first kiss.

"From now on, you are not allowed to mention the words 'call off the engagement.' I will not break off our engagement."

Now that Gu Wanqing had regained all her memories, she would no longer let things develop as they had before.

She clearly belonged to Lin Ao; she didn't know why she had always been unable to act according to her own will in the past.

Time and time again, she had watched Lin Ao be killed by Xiao Fan and the others for various reasons.

This time, she wanted to protect him.

"No! You want to!"

Lin Ao looked at Gu Wanqing with an expression of pure fury.

"No! I don't want to."

"You do!"

"I said I don't! Shut your mouth!"

Even though he looked furious, in her eyes, he was incredibly adorable.

"See you tomorrow~ Lin Ao! Tee-hee~"

After saying this, Gu Wanqing stroked Lin Ao's face and walked away, laughing to herself.

"Ah—! Help me untie this—! You are so irresponsible!!!!"

Lin Ao curled up on the sofa like a caterpillar, shivering. He looked both ridiculous and pitiful.

His entire being had turned a shade of gray.

It was over, completely over. Things were not developing at all the way he had imagined.

In his plan, Gu Wanqing would come over today, they would happily negotiate the details of the annulment, he would offer some compensation to cut all ties, and he would even give a few hundred million as a gift at her wedding to Xiao Fan to thank them for sparing his life!

As it turned out, this woman had gone insane for some reason, crying and making a scene, and in the end... in the end, she actually... actually dared to assault him!

"Wuwuwu, she actually dared to use her tongue on me!"

Li Wanyu and Lin Dong tiptoed back in stealthily, only to find that Gu Wanqing had already left.

Li Wanyu walked over and stroked Lin Ao's face with a look of relief.

"You did very well, son. Mom is proud of you~ I'll tell the kitchen to make your favorite dishes for lunch!"

With that, she left happily!

"Not bad! You have the same style I had back in the day!"

Lin Dong patted Lin Ao on the shoulder and headed upstairs to his study!

"Both of you! Did neither of you think to help me untie this?? Huh?"

Lin Ao suffered a complete breakdown in the living room.

After leaving Lin Family Manor, Gu Wanqing wiped the smile from her face.

Her expression turned cold, and her eyes carried a hint of killing intent.

Sitting in her car, Gu Wanqing immediately dialed a number.

"Hello! Xiaoting, call the Personnel Department immediately. Find some excuse to fire Xiao Fan."

Gu Wanqing's first priority was to drive Xiao Fan away and keep him far from her and Lin Ao.

She could not let him have any chance to come into contact with Lin Ao.

Recalling her previous memories, she realized she would never have fallen for Xiao Fan. Even if he had helped her when she was being harassed, she wouldn't have opened her heart to a random employee, let alone helped Xiao Fan eliminate Lin Ao.

Furthermore, she despised many of Xiao Fan's behaviors.

Whenever someone offended him, that person would inevitably suffer grave injuries or even lose their life.

Even ordinary people were no exception.

He always cast himself as the underdog, believing the whole world looked down on him and that he had to fight against the entire world.

He acted as if he were a poor youth destined for greatness, but it turned out he was the master of the Dragon Gate. Did he come here just to show off? And he even pretended to be a security guard! It was truly arrogant and narcissistic.

Thinking about it now just made her feel disgusted!

A cold sneer curled the corners of Gu Wanqing's lips.

What was he? Was he worth Gu Wanqing's heart?

Before, she couldn't control her own actions, but this time it was different. The appearance of the panel was the best proof of that.

At the entrance of the Gu Family building.

Xiao Fan stood dumbfounded at the main gate, clutching a cardboard box.

Passing employees kept pointing fingers at the young security guard who had previously enjoyed the full trust of President Gu.

"He was so arrogant before; I heard he even hit some of the company's senior executives!"

"Exactly, exactly. He was always throwing his weight around in the security office, spouting nonsense about training the guards to become elites to better protect President Gu."

"Working for a dead-end salary and still getting put through training? He was just bored and trying to show off his loyalty!"

"That's right, and I heard he was even pursuing President Gu."

"Him? How could he ever compare to the President's fiancé, Young Master Lin?"

Xiao Fan trembled with rage as he listened to the idle gossip.

His expression was so hideous it looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.

He slammed his belongings onto the ground and stormed off in a fury. He had to find Gu Wanqing and get to the bottom of this; someone in the company must be targeting him! Do you really dare to bully me, the dignified leader of the Dragon Gate? Do you really think I'm made of clay?

The people around him were startled; his eyes were truly terrifying.

Gu Wanqing did not return to the company today because she did not want to see Xiao Fan.

She was currently being driven back to the apartment she had purchased near the office, wanting to go home to sort through her memories, study her attribute panel, and figure out how to best protect Lin Ao.

"Screech~~~~~~"

In the underground parking garage, the car Gu Wanqing was riding in suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"Uncle Gu, what happened?"

Gu Wanqing felt a bit puzzled, though she also had a hunch.

"Miss, Xiao Fan suddenly appeared in front of us and blocked our path!"

It was him, just as she expected.

Gu Wanqing stepped out of the car and looked at Xiao Fan coldly.

Seeing Gu Wanqing step out, Xiao Fan immediately ran over, his face full of grievance and pity.

"Wanqing~ I was suddenly fired by the Personnel Department today. Someone in senior management must have it out for me; you have to stand up for me!"

Xiao Fan's voice even carried a hint of a sob as he put on a pathetic act.

Gu Wanqing only found him utterly disgusting. If this were in the past, she probably would have immediately stood up for Xiao Fan, stormed back to the company, and called a shareholders' meeting on his behalf.

"Ugh~"

Looking at the pitiful Xiao Fan, Gu Wanqing couldn't help but dry heave.

"Wanqing~ What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? My situation isn't urgent; let me take you to see a doctor, okay? Don't get upset on my account; it's not worth it."

Xiao Fan looked touched and reached out to pat Gu Wanqing's back.

Just like Lin Ao, Gu Wanqing slapped his hand away and quickly moved further away from him.

Xiao Fan froze on the spot.

"Don't touch me! And as for the senior management you claim is targeting you, that would be me! I was the one who ordered the Personnel Department to fire you."

Gu Wanqing looked at Xiao Fan coldly, increasing the distance between them.

"And you are indeed not worth it. Why would I get angry for your sake? Please stay away from me. Seeing you now only makes me want to vomit. Don't ever appear in front of me again. Also, 'Wanqing' is not a name you are allowed to call me—address me as President Gu!"

Gu Wanqing's words left Xiao Fan in deep shock. She wasn't like this before; why?

Why would she treat me like this? She has changed. Why would she suddenly be like this? Who did she see today?

Wait, she told him last night that she was going to the Lin Family today to call off the engagement!

Is it because of Lin Ao?

Damn that Lin Ao!

Xiao Fan's eyes were bloodshot, his expression terrifying, like an angry and ugly hyena.

Xiao Fan tried to reach out and grab Gu Wanqing's hand, but she dodged him.

"Uncle Gu!"

Gu Wanqing called Uncle Gu over to block Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was furious to the extreme and threw a punch at Uncle Gu.

If it had been an ordinary old man or a driver, Xiao Fan's punch would certainly have left the person crippled and hospitalized.

Fortunately, Uncle Gu was no ordinary man.

With a calm expression, he threw a punch of his own, and Xiao Fan let out a miserable cry as he was sent stumbling back several steps by the recoil.

"A Grandmaster?"

Xiao Fan was deeply shaken inside. This plain-looking old man by Gu Wanqing's side was actually a Grandmaster.

He was still a step away from advancing to the Grandmaster realm, so naturally, he was no match for Uncle Gu.

"Young friend, you have crossed the line!"

Uncle Gu calmly retracted his fist and stood beside Gu Wanqing, keeping a wary eye on Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan raised his head in sorrow, looking at Gu Wanqing with an expression of deep hurt.

"Wanqing..."
