Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

The sea water gurgled, and the brackish sea breeze ruffled Hela's hair, which was as curly and smooth as seaweed.

Hela's face is beautiful, like the incarnation of human desire, and her eyes are involuntarily attracted when she sees it.

The man with an intoxicated smile on his face, as if he was bewitched, slowly walked towards the siren with innocent eyes, put away his sharp nails, and walked towards the man's open arms.

"Hmm~"

The siren was humming softly and melodiously, and the man couldn't help but walk a little faster.

Soon, the man arrived in front of the Siren.

The siren couldn't wait to hug the man, and wrapped her long and powerful arms tightly around the man's waist.

One hand also touched the back of the man's neck, seeming to comfort but also seem to be numbing.

Suddenly, under the holographic light and shadow, Gu Cheng's hand penetrated Pei Mingxu's body, reached his heart, and pulled hard.

The next moment, a bright red heart, still pumping blood, appeared in Gu Cheng's hand.

Gu Cheng lowered his head and bit it lightly, and then a circle of blood instantly appeared on his lips.

He slowly raised his head, blinked his innocent and pure eyes, and let out a soft cry again.

He is asking: Why doesn't your heart beat for me anymore?

When the short film ended, Gu Cheng let go of his hand on Pei Mingxu's waist without any nostalgia.

"The filming is over, you can go."

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the time.

One minute left, almost enough.

Pei Mingxu no longer had the support of his hands, and his body, which was completely relying on him, swayed a few times.

After a while, Pei Mingxu straightened up quietly and suddenly said to Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng, do you want to try with me?"

Gu Cheng's figure froze, his eyes widened slightly, and he stared at Pei Mingxu with vigilance and suspicion.

The person who once called him disgusting now asked him if he wanted to try it with him.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng was a little suspicious, whether Pei Mingxu also made a bet with others.

That's why, using feelings as a plaything, I can easily say the words "give it a try".

Anyway, give it a try without losing any money.

Only those who give sincerely are the complete losers.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze and said bluntly: "If I'm not interested, I won't try."

"Don't try? Do you want to get married now? This may require the consent of both parents."

Gu Cheng: "?!!!"

What kind of brain circuit is this! Doesn’t it mean to refuse if you don’t try?

Why, as soon as he thought about it, it turned out that he wanted to get married immediately!

Gu Cheng was puzzled, but Gu Cheng was greatly shocked.

"Your Highness, are you kidding me? I don't know which sentence gave you the confidence to think that I still like you?"

Pei Mingxu was still not annoyed by being ridiculed. He said seriously: "I am the best marriage partner for you."

"I will support your career. We have a young friendship, and this union will be stronger."

"And..." Pei Mingxu said solemnly: "I like you."

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, I just like it if I like it, and I'm not going to hide it."

"The moment I discovered my true feelings, I didn't back down."

Pei Mingxu obviously knew about Gu Cheng's previous relationship. He emphasized: "Besides, I hate betrayal and distrust as much as you do."

"I believe that after we get married, we will be the best partners in life, the best partners in work, and the perfect partner to go through life."

Pei Mingxu rationally and calmly analyzed the benefits of their union, and showed the similarities and resonance between himself and Gu Cheng.

The natural conclusion is that they are made for each other and deserve to be together.

But Gu Cheng crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly, "I don't think so."

He looked straight into Pei Mingxu's eyes, as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves:

"First of all, my career or life does not require marriage to be successful."

“With my ability and without the help of a partner, I have accomplished something.”

"Furthermore, there is not only one option in life: marriage. I can also choose to be free and alone until the end of my life. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Finally, I don't like you now, and after what you said today, I even want to hate you, Your Highness."

Gu Cheng refuted Pei Mingxu's arguments one by one, but if this develops, his advantage will be gone.

"you……"

Pei Mingxu thought that since they had grown up, they should be more sensible and more accustomed to making the right choice by weighing the pros and cons.

Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng had already jumped out of this hypocritical circle.

Like a free bird, not controlled by him at all.

This is my hometown.

This is the truest portrayal of his current state of mind.

Pei Mingxu looked at Gu Cheng who had changed into Hela's COS suit and didn't care that he was now a big shot and should be more respectable.

He asked in frustration: "Is it because of me?"

In Pei Mingxu's deep eyes, Gu Cheng saw the true emotions behind the shell of hypocrisy.

"My unscrupulous words at that time did not express my true inner thoughts, but I still deeply hurt you, didn't I?"

Gu Cheng didn't answer, but Pei Mingxu thought this was acquiescence.

At this time, the proud man of heaven, who had never lowered his head or accepted defeat, made a bold decision after a moment.

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his proud head, and said sincerely to Gu Cheng, "I'm sorry."

Gu Cheng's pupils suddenly trembled, but Pei Mingxu continued to apologize.

"This apology is not only for today's offense, but also for the brave you before."

"You are the one who is a true warrior, and I am just a coward who is unwilling to face my true inner feelings."

After apologizing, Pei Mingxu didn't straighten up for a long time.

So, for the first time, Gu Cheng looked at Pei Mingxu in such a condescending manner.

Before, the Crown Prince, and later His Majesty the Emperor, always looked aloof, looking at everyone who looked up to him in an attitude of overlooking all living beings.

Now, he bowed his head in front of himself and apologized, admitting his cowardice.

Before Pei Mingxu said this apology, Gu Cheng thought he didn't care whether he apologized or not.

He thought he had forgotten all the silly heartbeats he felt during that long and lonely secret love, and the sadness he felt when he offered his heart to others only to be stepped into the mud without mercy.

But when he was mentioned again, the real feeling of pulling and tearing in his heart came clearly, and he realized that he had never forgotten it.

It's just that the incident was too painful, and his brain and spirit were deceived.

Gu Cheng closed his eyes hard, opened them again, and said calmly to Pei Mingxu: "It's only my own business to like you unilaterally, you don't need to apologize."

"However, since that matter has been discussed, let's just pretend that nothing happened."

He regained his composure, looked at Pei Mingxu with a deep look, and said: "From now on, I will still be your most loyal subject, and I will try my best to fulfill the promise I made to you when I was young."

"Your empire will be richer and more powerful, and you will become the emperor in history who can turn the tide and lead the empire to glory."

So don’t tarnish your historical image over these little things.

Pei Mingxu wanted to retort that no, he just didn't understand what he meant at the time.

In fact, he had already been moved by him.

But Gu Cheng wanted to put him up high so that he could not continue this topic.

He was indeed held back, but not because of the face he had put down just now, but because of Gu Cheng's decisive attitude.

Gu Cheng had already let go of him.

So where should his late love go?
