His words made Li Yue's heart skip a beat. She was obviously in disbelief, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise on her face that had always maintained a calm expression.

This was the first time she heard him say such words in so many years.

Although she had always known that Gu Qingze was very kind to her, meticulous in everything, and considerate to every detail, but in her impression, Gu Qingze had always been calm and self-possessed, speaking louder than words, and had never expressed his thoughts so straightforwardly.

Seeing Li Yue stunned, Gu Qingze's eyes became gentler. He stared at Li Yue's red and swollen left cheek for a moment, with deep distress in his voice, "I know, this is very painful."

he knows......

Li Yue's heart trembled violently, she couldn't describe what it felt like, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"It seems that Mr. Gu cares about my wife very much."

Jiang Xu's voice was cold, with undisguised anger, and suddenly sounded behind them.

The trace of trance in Li Yue's mind dissipated at this moment.

Li Yue came back to her senses, subconsciously pushed Gu Qingze away, and unconsciously took a few steps back to distance herself from him.

Gu Qingze turned to Jiang Xu, his face slightly cold, obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Xu's sudden interruption.

"She is injured. Even as a normal friend, there is nothing wrong with me caring about her. Isn't Mr. Jiang too hostile to me?"

Gu Qingze raised his thin lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his words were full of sarcasm.

Jiang Xu ignored him and just cast dangerous eyes on Li Yue.

Li Yue didn't dare to look at him, but she could clearly feel his cold eyes.

That look was like a dull knife, bit by bit, trying to kill her.

Before Jiang Xu could speak, Li Yue moved her steps and stood behind him obediently.

Her head was buried low, and her fingers twirled the corners of her clothes uneasily, like a child who made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.

She was still thinking about how to escape from this Shura field, when she suddenly felt Jiang Xu's slightly cold fingertips holding her hand that was still holding the ointment.

Li Yue's hands were empty and she watched as Jiang Xu took away the items in her hand and handed them to Gu Qingze without any explanation.

Jiang Xu's face was still very ugly, and he said coldly, "Young Master Gu, we appreciate your kindness, but naturally it's not anyone else's turn to care about my people."

After saying that, he directly dragged Li Yue behind him away from the scene.

Li Yue was forced to follow Jiang Xu's footsteps and walked hurriedly. Her wrist was painfully grasped by him, but for fear of hitting his emotional muzzle, Li Yue could only grit her teeth and remained silent along the way.

It wasn't until Jiang Xu dragged her into the office and let go of his hand to throw her away that she couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain.

Her skin color was fair, and the marks on her wrists were red and glaring.

Li Yue hid her hand behind her back, and at the same time, the door of the office was slammed shut by Jiang Xu.

Just as she was about to look over there, the light suddenly dimmed.

Jiang Xu directly blocked her in the corner, raised his hand unceremoniously and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head to look at him.

Li Yue frowned in pain and wanted to break free from his restraint.

However, Jiang Xu was too strong. He put his arms around her waist and locked her tightly in his arms with almost no effort.

The smell of him was clean and cold, trapping her involuntarily.

While struggling, Li Yue heard Jiang Xu whisper in her ear, "Don't move, look at me."

His voice seemed to cast some kind of magic spell, and Li Yue couldn't help being bewitched by him. Yiyan looked deeply into his eyes.

His eyes were dark and gleaming, and there seemed to be countless emotions hidden in them, but they seemed to only have indifference and coldness, which was confusing and unpredictable.

At this moment, he also looked at her deeply.

At that moment, Li Yue actually had the illusion that there were only two of them left in the world.

But the next second, Jiang Xu let out a chuckle.

His laughter sounded extremely cold, and it was so frightening that it penetrated into the bone marrow. Li Yue shivered inexplicably. She could clearly catch the ridicule in his eyes.

"looks like?"

he asks.

Li Yue didn't understand what he meant. She looked at him with confusion and cowardice in her eyes.

Before she could figure out what he wanted to do, she heard him ask again, "Am I like him?"

His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring over Li Yue instantly.

She couldn't help but tremble violently, and the sudden contraction of her pupils revealed the panic and shock in her heart at this moment.

Her expression made the corners of Jiang Xu's mouth grow colder.

He spoke at a slow pace, but every word was like a sharp knife:

"Li Yue, you think you're hiding well, don't you?"

"Let me ask you, why did you marry me?"

After the words fell, Li Yue's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She subconsciously bit her lower lip and did not reply for a long time.

Jiang Xu's hand holding her chin gently rubbed the skin on her face, looking very loving and caring.

But it was clearly such an intimate gesture, but there was no tender atmosphere at this time.

Li Yue clenched her fingertips so hard that her nails almost dug into the flesh of her palms.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Xu's eyes became even colder, and the strength of his hand unconsciously increased again, as if he wanted to crush Li Yue into pieces in his arms.

"I look a lot like him, don't I?"

She didn't speak, but the emotion in her heart already gave him the answer.

But what can he do?

He has always been unable to do anything to her.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that she didn't love him, didn't he?

Jiang Xu looked at the woman in front of her seriously. She lowered her eyes, covering most of the emotions in her eyes, but her long eyelashes that were shaking violently still exposed her emotions at the moment.

She was so vivid and lively when she faced Gu Qingze, but she was completely different from what she is now.

Also, Gu Qingze is Gu Qingze, he is him.

After all, he couldn't change this fact.

So what if he could trap her?

Jiang Xu made a helpless smile in her heart, blaming him for being too greedy.

Li Yue was still immersed in her own panic, preparing to accept Jiang Xu's expected anger and questioning, but the restraint on her body suddenly loosened, and her whole body broke away from the cold embrace in an instant.

Li Yue subconsciously leaned against the wall behind her, raised her eyes tremblingly, and looked over there.

Jiang Xu had turned around and stopped looking at her. Li Yue took a quick breath, feeling quite lucky to survive the disaster.

She was standing there cautiously, not knowing what to do when she suddenly heard Jiang Xu calling her at the desk, "Come here."

Just two words, but Li Yue's heart tightened again.

She didn't dare to disobey, so she had no choice but to step forward.

Seeing Jiang Xu raise her hand, she was so scared that she quickly shrank her neck and closed her eyes tightly.

The pain she imagined did not come. On the contrary, she felt a slight chill on her left cheek, and then, the fragrance of the ointment instantly filled her entire breath.
