"You are married already, you should let your husband fight for you." Gu Liansheng said, leading her into the banquet hall.
Shen Linyi glanced up at him and shook her head. "My battles are mine to fight."
"Then perhaps you shouldn't have gotten married to me since you can fight your battles." He whispered in her ears, his breath brushing against her.
Shen Linyi's pulse quickened, swallowing. She had never been in such close proximity to any male, even during her engagement to Zhou Yuanfeng.
"Mr. Gu, are you going to taunt me forever with this?" Shen Linyi demanded, her voice low and soft.
Gu Liansheng was silent for a while. The softness of her voice stirred something deep in his heart, like a little cat clawing at his chest.
"Mrs. Gu, I just deem it fit to remind you that you had no other option. You couldn't fight your battles, that's why you're married to me." Although there was a smile on his lips, Gu Liansheng's words cut sharper than any knife.
