Chapter 75 - Grow
Does that mean that he is not going to let me off easily?
"What do you want? Spell it out."
"First, I am going to finish what I had started that night. Alternatively, you can choose to stay with me until I have done the investigation. If you want to stay with me and resume what happened that night after my investigation, I will break my ties with the Fu family and give you a title. I will not stop you if you want to leave then." Fu Beichen said with a firm tone, looking straight into Gu Nanyu's eyes.
Looking at Fu Beichen's dark eyes, Gu Nanyu's heart trembled.
She wanted to know everything about Fu Xingchen's disappearance and everything she did not understand from her past life. The only way she could find out was to stay by Fu Beichen's side.
This was always her plan.
"Are you true to your words?" Gu Nanyu was a little anxious.
"Of course." Fu Beichen assured her.
"Fine." Gu Nanyu replied.
"When I said stay with me, I meant you have to stick with me all the time aside from school, including night time." Fu Beichen raised an eye, exuding an imposing demeanor.
"Why?" Gu Nanyu was devastated the moment he mentioned night time.
"I'm into you." Fu Beichen raised the car window.
Gu Nanyu was speechless.
It had been a really bad day for her.
"I have never seen anyone taking off their clothes so free and easy in front of me as you did." Fu Beichen's lips were slightly curved.
Gu Nanyu was at a loss for words.
As the night fell and the sky got dark, she finally understood.
Everything he did all this time was for this!
How could she not agree?
If she chose not to comply, he might finish what he started that night and she had no doubt as to his capacity.
"You want me to live with you? What if people noticed? That won't be good…" Gu Nanyu tried to negotiate.
"We'll be staying in the military base. No one will know." Fu Beichen could not care less.
"...Fine." Since he already planned everything, she would just follow.
It was fortunate that Fu Beichen was someone who would never go back on his words at the least. He really meant it when he said that he would let her decide whether to leave after his investigation was over.
Fu Beichen started his car and proceeded to leave for the military base.
Gu Nanyu was still in a daze.
As Fu Beichen was driving, he noticed that Gu Nanyu who was in the passenger seat was still puzzled. He lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable.
Yun Shen mentioned that he should find a way to get her to stay.
So he did.
Fu Beichen recalled the intense menace in her alter ego's eyes that morning. The memory was still fresh in his mind.
Her eye expression was oddly familiar.
The hatred within was clear.
His instinct told him that Gu Nanyu was definitely hiding something and it must be related to him.
The sky was already dark when they reached the military base.
Fu Beichen ordered dinner since Gu Nanyu did not have any food since noon.
Jiang Yishan sent a parcel over after dinner.
"These are the daily necessities you'll need. There are pajamas and casual clothing inside."
Gu Nanyu opened the parcel to see a variety of brand-new clothes, including pajamas and underwear.
There were even different types of sanitary pads including day and night ones.
She wanted to cry. It seemed like he was serious about her staying there!
Gu Nanyu had a question in mind. She finally spelled it out when Fu Beichen was giving her lessons at night.
"Hey, I have a question."
"Spill it." Fu Beichen thought that it was something related to her studies.
"I remember you said that you were not interested in flat-chested women. Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"
Fu Beichen stared at her. He noticed that she was distracted during the lesson, but he did not expect that it was because of something like this.
He placed his pen down and looked at her from head to toe, including her flat-chest of course.
"I like things that grow." Fu Beichen took his time to reply.
"Hmm?" Gu Nanyu blinked with confusion before she understood what he meant as he was fixing his gaze on her chest area.
Grow!
Grow my *ss!
F*ck you, you old hand!
