Chapter 2263 - 648: Xiao Yu Reunion (Part 4)

A large hand rested on An Yiqing’s head, the man gently rubbed the soft hair, speaking in a pampering and gentle tone, "I’ll go with you tomorrow."

"Okay." An Yiqing nodded, a smile playing at her lips, "That’s my good Ah Lin!"

The next afternoon, Gu Yelin drove An Yiqing to Xuan University. Watching An Yiqing walk towards the café, Gu Yelin parked the car by the side of the road, his dark eyes narrowing as he looked at the man sitting inside the store.

That man was still dressed in a black retro outfit, his neat short hair clean and tidy, his ordinary features exuding an extraordinary aura. He sat there quietly, like a lifeless statue, expressionless and emotionless.

An Yiqing walked into the café and directly took a seat opposite him.

"If you have something to say, go ahead."

Xiao Yu placed his hands on his legs, focusing his gaze on the young girl opposite. The girl smiled and ordered a juice from the server, then lowered her head to play with her phone.

Furrowing his eyebrows tightly, nearly tying them into a knot, the man’s displeasure was evident.

"Look up." His tone was stiff.

An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, shifting her gaze from the phone to the man’s face, "Mr. Xiao Yu, what exactly do you want? My time is precious, worth millions by the minute."

A few veins throbbed on his forehead as Xiao Yu took a deep breath.

"I came to see you today hoping you would bring the An Family back to the Hanyu Sect. After all, that’s Li Wanniang’s sect."

"Not going back." She continued playing with her phone.

"Even though you destroyed that token, our marriage pact still stands. The Ancient Martial World doesn’t follow the laws of the mundane world, your marriage certificate with Gu Yelin is invalid. Come back and marry me."

"Not getting married." She continued playing with her phone.

Xiao Yu clenched his jaw, the veins on his temple pulsing intensely, seemingly struggling to suppress his forthcoming anger.

"An Yiqing, aren’t you afraid I’ll expose Gu Yelin’s God-Devil Physique identity? You should know, the God-Devil Physique is something everyone wants to eradicate; his family, friends, those who flatter him will all become his enemies. Gu Yelin will become a rat on the street, everyone shouting to capture him."

Her fingers paused on the screen, An Yiqing locked her phone and looked up coldly at Xiao Yu.

"So, you’re planning to use Gu Yelin’s identity as a threat to make me return to the Hanyu Sect and marry you?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in her tone, Xiao Yu nodded, "You and I are already husband and wife, the marriage pact set by the ancestors a thousand years ago cannot be changed. An Yiqing, you are part of the Hanyu Sect, it’s an unchangeable fact."

"Ha," she sneered, leaning back against the chair and crossing her arms, "Mr. Xiao Yu, I think you misunderstood. Li Wanniang is Li Wanniang; the marriage pact she set has nothing to do with me. Not to mention we’re not married, even if we were truly husband and wife, if I want to leave, you can’t stop me. Go back and tell those old geezers at the Hanyu Sect not to try to bind me with a damned marriage pact; I wasn’t raised to be scared."

Pausing, she continued, "And whether my Ah Lin is God-Devil Physique or not, whether he’ll be beaten and scolded by everyone, you needn’t worry. Whether he’s a god or a devil, it’s our business as a couple. You’re an outsider, so best not interfere."

Xiao Yu’s large hand clenched into a fist, anger surfacing on his face, his voice hoarse, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal this and leave Gu Yelin without a support? His parents and family abandoning him, friends betraying him, everyone spurning him—An Yiqing, is your love so shallow?"

"Whether my love is shallow or not, Ah Lin is the judge, what gives you the right to comment?" An Yiqing slammed the water cup on the table, making a crisp sound, "Xiao Yu, on the contrary, why do you perceive people’s feelings to be so shallow? Even if Ah Lin is God-Devil Physique, his family, friends, lover aren’t as shallow as you think. No matter what happens, the Gu Family, An Family, and I will never abandon him."

She slowly stood, leaned forward, and gazed coldly at the man in front of her, "Xiao Yu, don’t try to challenge my limits. Whoever destroys Gu Yelin’s reputation, I’ll end them!"

Xiao Yu sat in his chair as the young girl walked past him, leaving the café without turning back.

His large hands tightly gripping his pants, for some reason, Xiao Yu felt a surge of air stuck in his chest, wanting to vent but unable to.

Why is that man’s identity such a burden, yet you still insist on being together with him?! Where am I, Xiao Yu, lacking compared to that man?

"Sir, may I ask you..." The server approached with a curious and welcoming smile, about to ask a question but intimidated by the man’s icy look. In an instant, his face turned pale, feeling as if an invisible hand was choking him, unable to breathe.

Xiao Yu glared sinisterly at the server, placed down two hundred-dollar bills, and left.

After the man left, the server finally exhaled a sigh of relief. His legs weakened as he leaned against the table, his heart racing with lingering fear. Who was that man, why was his gaze so terrifying?!

...

Having just separated from Xiao Yu, An Yiqing wasn’t feeling particularly cheerful; she disliked Xiao Yu’s self-assuredness and his dismissal of those around Gu Yelin.

A large hand reached over, tightly holding that cold small hand. An Yiqing withdrew her gaze from the window, turning to look at Gu Yelin driving.

"With me here, don’t worry." Gu Yelin tightened his hold, the warmth from his palm continuously flowing to the young girl.

Looking at the large hand enclosing her, somehow, An Yiqing’s restless and anxious heart suddenly calmed. Yes, what does the outside world have to do with her? What damn marriage pact and ancestors have anything to do with her? Whoever disrupts her peaceful life is her enemy!

Watching the subtle curve of the girl’s lips, Gu Yelin exhaled in relief. He turned his head to look ahead, a sharp glint flashing deep within his long dark eyes.

Xiao Yu, huh?
