A Moment of Love Is Worth a Thousand Gold

Gu Liao's breathing sounded heavy on Xie Ru's neck. It felt a little warm and itchy.

"Gu Liao, are you okay?"

Xie Ru felt Gu Liao's breathing become heavier. She knew Xie Wutong had something up her sleeves, but she did not expect it to be something that would take things this far.

As expected of Qin Zhen's daughter. They all used the same method. It should be known that this was not a secret in the Xie family. Qin Zhen was not Xie Zhen's first wife to begin with, but she used a similarly harsh method to force his first wife away.

"I'm fine. Let's go."

Gu Liao's large hands were completely wrapped around Xie Ru. He stumbled in his steps, but he tried to follow Xie Ru's rhythm. Xie Ru could vaguely see the fine sweat on the man's head.

It seemed that Xie Wutong did not succeed. The man's broad back seemed to give off a great sense of security. If he was not Gu Liao she might have accepted him. It was a pity.

"Are you really alright? Do you want the doctor to come take a look?"

"There's no need."

Xie Ru checked in on him about five to six times. And each time, he would be drenched in sweat.

"I don't think you're well. There's really no need-"

Xie Ru suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the man who started to get closer to her. Gu Liao then...

"Close your eyes."

Gu Liao knew that Xie Ru couldn't see, but he still asked her to close her eyes. The refreshing smell of the woman's body made him feel relaxed and happy as the haze of the day was swept away.

"Gu Liao, you..."

The man picked her up and threw her heavily on the bed. He whispered in her ear, "Little Ru, I neglected you on the wedding night. Let's not let this beautiful occasion go to waste."

"Stop." But Xie Ru's words completely disappeared with a kiss.

There was a poem: A moment of spring is worth a thousand gold. The flowers are fragrant and the moonlight is obscured. The song of the bamboo pipe is delicately clear and the swing sways gently deep in the night.

"Young Master, the old master is here. He's downstairs and wants to see you."

"Okay."

Gu Liao's face was radiant like a spring breeze.

"Young Madam is still resting. Don't disturb her. If she wakes up, get someone to prepare something light for her. Don't let anyone else near the villa, especially those from the Xie family."

"Yes."

Aunt Chen's gaze shifted to the inside of the room. A small bump appeared on the bed. It seemed that the gossip of those people yesterday was not baseless. The young master and young madam had really consummated their marriage.

"Grandfather."

The old master nodded and scolded angrily, "Is there no one left to discipline you? No matter what the Xie family's young miss does, she shouldn't have been punished at Gu Corporation."

"Yes, Grandfather is right. It's my fault for being rash."

"Have you considered the matter that I told you a while ago?"

Gu Liao thought for a while and said, "Grandfather, I still insist on my wish."

"Xie Ru is still a member of the Xie family regardless. With the old master of the Xie family around, their second family branch won't be able to do anything to her so you can rest assured. After all, the Gu family won't want a blind person as their daughter-in-law either."

Gu Liao nodded. He knew that the Gu family had strict discipline, but it was not impossible for them to have any faults.

Moreover, Xie Ru's eyes could be treated. After the matter with Bai Yunhua was over, he would let Xie Ru regain her eyesight. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would give Xie Ru light.

Xie Ru stood at the corner and cursed in her heart. 'How shameless.'

No matter what she said, Old Master Gu would have insisted on giving her the courtyard house anyway. So this was his plan all along.

Did she just get fooled? There was no way she was going to let herself be fooled again. Was that something an ordinary person would do?

Xie Ru touched the tears that had flowed down her face earlier without her realizing it. It turned out that unknowingly, Gu Liao had already held an important place in her heart.
