Chapter 20: Will you marry me?

  Shen Sihan and Gu Beici almost appeared in the private room at the same time. Shen Sihans gaze quickly swept around, and when he saw Wen Ning, he stopped for half a second.

  Xie Wanwan seemed anxious about something and upon seeing Gu Beidi, she said without regard: "Brother Beidi, youve come at just the right time. We were just discussing your marriage to my sister."

  "Sister, hurry up and say it. Let everyone be a witness for you."

  Xie Wennan can be said to be so anxious that she is jumping up and down.

  Shen Shihan pursed his lips, his eyes coldly staring at Wen Ning, behind the icy gaze, a inexplicable emotion was hidden in the depths of his pupils.

  He despised Wen Ning, but seeing her stand up and gaze at Gu Beidi with a sentimental expression, his heart felt a dull ache.

  Wen Ning stood up, looking at Gu Bei Ci: "Gu Er Ge grew up with me, he took special care of me since I was a child. On every birthday before I turned 18, he would prepare surprise gifts for me, from candies when I was three to high heels when I was 18. There is no one in this world who is gentler and understands me more than him. Gu Er Ge, are you willing to marry Xiao Ning?"

  Pressed by Xie Wenyuan, Wen Ning was in a dilemma, but suddenly seeing Gu Beidi appear, it was as if she had seen a savior.

  She and Gu Bei Cis engagement, if Gu Bei Ci comes forward to refuse, the Gu family will not blame her, and the Xie family will have no way to deal with her, she can retreat completely.

  Gu Bei knew about her entanglement with Shen Sihan, and also knew that she was pregnant now. Moreover, she had brought Qin Mo, this fake boyfriend, to the Gu family for a show of affection.

  Gu Bei Ci would definitely refuse to marry her, Wen Ning couldnt think of any reason why Gu Bei Ci would accept her, she was very sure, so she took the initiative to confess, asking if he was willing to marry her.

  "Gu Erge, are you willing to marry Xiao Ning?"

  Wen Ning looked at Gu Bei Ci and used a tacit understanding that only the two of them could comprehend to hint to him - reject her.

  Gu Beis expression was solemn, "Xiao Ning, do you know? Ive been waiting for you to grow up, waiting for this day. Xiao Ning, please marry me."

  Wen Nings face was shocked, Gu Bei Ci stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

  Wen Nings gaze passed over his shoulder and intersected with that of another man in the room.

  Shens face was covered with a layer of frost, and his gaze towards her was filled with chill.

  But Wen Ning didnt have the heart to pay attention to him, she now needed to have a good talk with Gu Bei.

  Her mothers face didnt look very good, "Marriage is a big deal, this needs to be discussed thoroughly by both families. Lets talk about the marriage later."

  "Okay, mom, Ill listen to you. Then Ill send Xiaoning back first."

  Gu Bei led Wen Ning out of the package, as soon as they entered the elevator, Wen Ning asked eagerly: "Gu Er Ge, why didnt you refuse me just now? I clearly gave you a hint to let you refuse me."

  Wen Ning felt like the sky was about to collapse, but Gu Beidi actually smiled carelessly.

  "Dont be too excited, its not a big deal. Im just making a statement, and were not getting married right away. I dont want to get married that early, my mom has been urging me to get married, now its perfect, you can help me stall."

  "Its not like that, you...you clearly know my situation...this is unfair to you..."

  "Nothing unfair about it, were just helping each other out. You want to have kids, dont you? Well cover for each other, my research will get on track, and I need a few years to achieve something. No time for romance, let alone starting a family so early."

  Wen Ning looked at him with a mixture of trust and doubt, "Really?"

  Gu Bei tapped her forehead, "Of course its true."

  Wen Ning slightly relaxed her breath, and indeed, she was overthinking. She had already done so, with someone elses child in her belly, Gu Bei Ci wouldnt be foolish enough to come and wear a green hat.

  "Xiao Ning, last month I used all my savings to set up a research lab in Country M. Ive already submitted my resignation letter to the hospital here. If everything goes smoothly, next month Ill be heading to Country M to continue my research work. If youre willing, you can come with me as my fiancée and we can find a place to have the baby first before dissolving our engagement."

  Gu Beis thoughtful arrangements made Wen Ning feel touched and speechless, even her own brother couldnt have done better.

  At first, Gu Bei also advised Wen Ning to get rid of the child. It was a miracle that the child could survive after going through so much hardship, but who knows if there would be any sequelae.

  It was Wen Ni who insisted on it, she had a hard time getting pregnant, the child was gone, and she might never be able to become a mother again.

  Under Wen Nings persistence, Gu Bei handed over the fetal preservation medicine that was still in research to Wen Ning for use.

  Undoubtedly, Gu Beis arrangement is the best and safest for Wen Ning.

  "Gu Erge, youre so good to me, I dont know how to thank you." Wen Ning said gratefully.

  "Dont mention those external words. The matter of going abroad is temporarily kept confidential from outsiders, you handle Manrous affairs well."

  The elevator arrived at B1, and as soon as the two of them stepped out, Gu Bei Cis phone rang urgently.

  Wen Ning knew this must be a call from the hospital, "Second Brother, you go back to the hospital first. Ill take a taxi back myself."

  "Okay, call me when you get home."

  Watching Gu Bei leave, Wen Ning returned to the elevator and went up one floor. As the elevator doors opened, Shen Ci Han suddenly stood at the entrance of the elevator.

  Wen Ning pretended not to see and took a step forward, but was suddenly grabbed around the waist by a hand.

  Shen Shihan stretched out his hand and pulled him into the elevator, Wen Ning pushed him hard.

  "Let me go! What do you want?"

  Shen Chuan took a step forward, pinning her against the wall. "Yesterday it was Qin Mo, today its Gu Bei Ci, who will it be tomorrow?"

  "Its none of your business!"

  Shen Chihan looked at Wen Ning, the Wen Ning in front of him was like a hedgehog with thorns, completely different from the woman who used to stick to his side with all her might.

  Shen Shihan suddenly reached out and lifted her chin, forcefully kissing her.

  Wen Ning was stunned for a few seconds, then reached out and slapped him. "Shen Quehan, have you gone mad?"

  Shen Zhihan didnt retreat and instead took advantage of her momentary distraction to launch a crazy invasion.

  Hes gone mad indeed.

  He bent down to pick up his fallen phone, but in that instant when he saw her, a sudden surge of desire to conquer and possess her arose in his heart.

  He didnt like her stubborn gaze, he wanted her to submit, and in front of him, she was always that obedient appearance.

  Wen Ning bit down hard, and a bloody taste filled her mouth. Shen Qiao let go of her, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

  At this time, the elevator door opened and Wen Ning rushed out.

  Shen Chihan caught up and grabbed Wen Nings hand from behind, causing Wen Ning to lose strength and bump his back against the wall corner.

  A sharp pain suddenly shot through his abdomen, Wen Nings strength was completely drained, and he felt dizzy and faint, as if he was going to fall down.

  Shen Zhan felt something was wrong and reached out to hold her, "Whats wrong?"

  Wen Nings face turned pale, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the package on the ground, his lips trembling: "Medicine..."

  Shen Zhan picked up the package on the ground and found a bottle inside. The bottle contained a pill.
