Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Your Happiness Comes from Him (2)
Gu Ningyi walked into the Black Pool’s private room, which was empty and extremely quiet, with no music playing. Only Yuan Shen sat on the sofa drinking.
Gu Ningyi stepped closer; many bottles were already strewn around the table.
Yuan Shen leaned his body, raised the glass in his hand toward Gu Ningyi, grinned, and said, "Our Mr. Gu is here."
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and sat directly on the sofa. He picked up a wine glass, poured himself a drink, and downed it in one go.
Yuan Shen looked at him, smiled again, then lazily spoke, "Yi, are you really getting engaged to Yuan Shi?"
Yuan Shi was his twin; she was born a few seconds before him and held the title of older sister, but he never liked admitting he was the younger brother, always addressing Yuan Shi by her name.
Gu Ningyi paused while pouring the wine, then continued, filled it up, took a big gulp, and finally replied, "Yeah."
Yuan Shen laughed abruptly, "I heard you’re the one who proposed to Yuan Shi?"
Gu Ningyi took another gulp, his voice still indifferent, "Yeah."
Yuan Shen suddenly laughed louder. He drained his glass of red wine in one go, then the next second, the wine glass was smashed onto the floor.
He abruptly stood up, grabbed Gu Ningyi’s collar forcefully with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, burning with rage, "Gu Ningyi, are you out of your mind? It’s one thing to want to play the romantic hero, but why drag that fool Yuan Shi down? You clearly know she’s always liked you, always had a crush on you, and yet you use her like this?"
Gu Ningyi was a good brother to him, but Yuan Shi was his dear sister. Although the two siblings seemed at odds on the surface, blood is thicker than water. He couldn’t allow his sister to be used and trampled on like that, not even by Gu Ningyi!
Before coming here, Gu Ningyi had already anticipated why Yuan Shen called him over. Yuan Shen might seem carefree, but he’s extremely protective and deeply emotional. It was expected he’d be angry with him because of Yuan Shi.
Even though he and Yuan Shi were in mutual consent, in reality, he did indeed use Yuan Shi.
When proposing to Yuan Shi, he knew she wouldn’t refuse him, and also... she was fully aware of his feelings and wouldn’t expect his affection.
"I’m sorry." Gu Ningyi’s thin lips parted lightly, his voice hoarse and apologetic.
But hearing his apology only fueled Yuan Shen’s anger further, charging directly at him. Gu Ningyi was always so straightforward; even when using someone, he wouldn’t hide it, not even a word of defense.
At this moment, he even wished... he would defend himself just once. At least this way, his sister wouldn’t seem so pathetic.
Yuan Shen was a little tyrant in his childhood, never bowing to anyone. So when he met Gu Ningyi, it was like a clash of titans; they often fought when they were kids, but each time, he would be knocked down by Gu Ningyi.
Fighting and fighting, he eventually submitted, willingly following behind Gu Ningyi, acknowledging him as the boss, looking up to him.
But today, he was extremely disappointed in him, particularly disappointed, and extremely angry.
How could he treat his dear sister like this!
"Gu Ningyi, you bastard!"
Yuan Shen’s fury only grew. One hand tightly gripped Gu Ningyi, while the other clenched into a fist, punching him hard.
