Chapter 457 Spend the night with me (1)_1

And he’s the most likely one to do such a thing.

"I haven’t done anything excessive to you since the first time we met. What makes you certain it’s me?"

"You do have a point, but... you’re the prime suspect," before he could look flustered, Eleven added hastily, "But I know now, it’s not you."

"Not me again? Is it so impossible that I would have someone kidnap you and then save you, acting like I just happened to pass by, to make you feel affectionate toward me?"

Eleven laughed, "How could that be? Isn’t such a scheme risky? Under such circumstances, I am most likely to fall off. The culprit did not expect that I would be so well-behaved in my sleep, not even turning over. That I didn’t fall off and get killed is my good luck. Alternatively, if I had died, what kind of affection could I possibly harbor for you?"

Her reasoning is clear.

"Also, why choose a rooftop of all places? There are many safer ways for a hero to save his damsel in distress. The rooftop is the least feasible. Plus..." Eleven revealed a sly smile, "Even if you did save me, after all the thanks, I wouldn’t necessarily feel any affection for you."

She declares this confidently.

At this point, Gu Tianyu couldn’t even get mad, he could only scold her, "You’re heartless."

"A life-saving favor is repaid with a meal, isn’t it?" Eleven was quite self-aware, "Is there anything else I can do for you, Brother Three Gu? I’d like to repay this favor."

"Now that you mentioned it, there is indeed something."

"What?"

"Accompany me to my grandfather’s longevity celebration."

Thinking about it, he did confidently tell Gu Xi the other day that she would definitely attend...

Could he have predicted today’s events?

Well, that’s not important, what’s important is...

"Can I choose something else? I would rather not get involved in your family feuds."

"You don’t get to decide," Gu Tianyu leaned back, "Of course, I’m being reasonable here. You still have another choice. An ancient proverb says, ’whoever is saved owes their body to their savior. If you don’t want to accompany me, then you can spend the night with me."

"You’re not just talking about sleeping, are you?" It wouldn’t just be sleeping.

"What do you think?"

The latter is obviously not an option!

But the former...

She just left Gu Liancheng, thinking she would no longer be connected with the Gu Family in any way. But Gu Tianyu is still lingering around.

Liancheng had said that he will attend Old Master Gu’s longevity celebration. Even if she and Liancheng are divorced, it would be highly improper to run into each other at the banquet.

Although most of the Gu family currently regard her as Mandy, the wife of Gu Tianyu, the situation might get messy when the time comes...

"Before the longevity celebration, any decision you make will be valid. It’s up to you whether you want to attend, or spend the night with me. Think about it."

Eleven temporarily put aside that discussion and diverted the topic, "Actually, Brother Three, I’m really curious about why you and your brothers ended up like this. Even though you don’t share the same mother, you all have the same father. Is all the infighting really worth it?"

"Of course, it is," he said, "Look at us now. If Gu Liancheng had lost then, there’s no way he would have retained his status as the third young master of the Gu family. He would be a beggar, destitute and unknown. His current position is given by the Gu family, isn’t it? The struggle is necessary."

"I disagree," Eleven refuted his words, "His current position, while partially attributable to the Gu family, is largely due to him."

She didn’t know why she still chose to defend him at this point.
