Chapter 23: Waning interest

Earlier in the day, she had kicked Xu Ling's belly, ensuring that she wouldn't bear a child for the Bai family. Her life would be worse than death.

She was no longer the tolerant Bai Qi of the past. Her previous life had taught her to be ruthless and unscrupulous. She wouldn't blink, even if she had to risk her life.

"Gu Ruochu, a lot of women lust over me. " Huo Nanchen muttered to himself. Who would have thought that his wife wouldn't have much interest in him?

His words did not sound conceited at all.

Huo Nanchen was the overlord of the city. With his looks, fame, and status, there wasn't a woman who wouldn't yearn for him. Looking at his face alone was enough to make a woman dizzy.

However, she was an outlaw and her heart had long been riddled with holes. Her heart was as dead as ash, and she would never love or trust anyone again. Once, a wound had been laid on her heart, and even if it eventually healed and formed a scar, it remained deeply etched into it.

Her biological father in her past life had killed her and her mother. She would never trust a single soul again. That would be stupid. Why would she dig a hole for herself just like her mother had done with her man?

Gu Ruochu's nose twitched when she thought of her mother.

She replied calmly, "I've never loved anyone."

Huo Nanchen suddenly felt as if this was the first time he had met his little wife. What kind of experience had she gone through to develop into such a character?

He was well aware of Gu Ruochu's family situation, but it was not enough to turn her into such a vicious person.

"Acting tough?"

Huo Nanchen's sudden words gave Gu Ruochu an illusion of indulgence as if she had pleased him. He looked to the side and his entire being was as elegant as a painting. His chin was tilted into a beautiful arc and his gaze towards her was filled with a faint smile, but it disappeared in an instant.

A moment ago, he was about to tear her apart, but now, he seemed to be smiling.

'This man is so shrewd, isn't he? He's turning his back faster than flipping through a book.' Gu Ruochu did not bother to guess his thoughts. He was hard to figure out.

"I'm done with my questions. Let's go back."

After her earlier interaction with the crowd at the class reunion, Gu Ruochu's interest had waned.

Huo Nanchen was in no hurry to drive. Instead, he looked at her with a strange and unpredictable gaze. Gu Ruochu knew that she had not fooled him. He was still suspicious of her identity.

But despite how hard he tried, he would never know her secret.

The thought ran through her mind as they sat in the car.

Gu Ruochu logged into Qq. Only Xu Yichen and Rong Xiao were added. Rong Xiao noticed her the moment she logged into the game.

[Tonight you Jiu]: Master Qi, how does it feel to sweep your own grave?

[I alone Qi]: I also want to sweep your grave.

[Tonight you Jiu]: The other party refuses to talk to you and throws a handsome Rong Xiao at you.

[I alone Qi]: The other party caught you steadily and smacked your dog head back into the doghouse. He then turned to look at your dog face and closed your doghouse door.

[Yixu]: Dog two wants to hit someone when he hears this.

[Tonight you Jiu]: Damn it! Can the two of you not mention dogs?

His baby name was a stain that would be hard to wash clean, even with his glorious deeds in this lifetime. Gu Ruochu's mood was much better after she and Xu Yichen teased Rong Xiao on the Internet.

[Tonight you Jiu]: Master Qi, will you be going back to the entertainment industry? I think you've dealt with Madam Bai quite menacingly. I heard that she was sent to the hospital, and she had already lost her child. She hasn't woken up yet.
