Warning : Providence the Beauty is Driven to Villainy Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Contract Marriage (4)

A very young man was sitting on the sofa in the living room. His white s.h.i.+rt was neat, and he had b.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt to the top. He was wearing a black tie that was straight and elegant.

He wore a pair of gold-framed gla.s.ses. Behind those lenses were a pair of beautiful, clear, navy blue eyes. His nose bridge was quite high, and his face was sharp and angular.

There was a sharp edge to his beauty.

***

Gu Xichao?

The name suddenly popped up in Jiang Yuan’s mind.

She didn’t quite understand her supposed husband.

Since they didn’t even meet more than a few times in a year.

Jiang Yuan secretly raised her head and looked at the man silently.

She had always known that Gu Xichao was incredibly good looking.

However, she was really astonished at this moment.

His brows looked like they were drawn, his thin lips were as beautiful as flowers.

His looks could possibly ruin an empire.

Jiang Yuan’s thoughts seemed to have drifted, but it was only for several seconds.

“Gu Xichao?”

The woman opened her soft, red lips, and called out the man’s name tentatively.

When Gu Xichao saw that Jiang Yuan was only wearing a thinly-veiled nightgown, he moved his eyes away without emotion. His long, white finger pushed his gold-framed gla.s.ses up his nose.

“It’s me.”

Gu Xichao’s voice sounded just like him. It was slightly chilling but it was also music to one’s ears. Like the sound of a cello.

Jiang Yuan thought that he was waiting for her to sign the agreement, so she said slowly, “About that. I have signed the divorce settlement agreement. I’ll go and get it, and then pa.s.s it to you.”

With that, she turned back into her room and was going to get the envelope.

However, Gu Xichao called out to her.

“Wait.”

Jiang Yuan turned and looked at him questioningly.

The woman’s plain but beautiful face was filled with question, even her long brows were slightly raised.

Gu Xichao continued, “There’s no rush. Go change your clothes and return with me to the family mansion.

“Grandfather is very sick,” the man said. His lips were as beautiful as flower petals, but his blue eyes had darkened.

When she heard that, Jiang Yuan became serious as she nodded and returned to her room.

***

Grandfather Gu treated her very well, to the point where he treated her like his granddaughter.

That was why Jiang Yuan was also extremely worried at the time.

That kindly old man… She sincerely hoped that nothing would happen to him.

Jiang Yuan quickly changed her clothes. She finished dressing up in just a few minutes.

She wore a comfortable, light-colored casual wear that showed her straight legs. Her pair of white shoes also exposed her ankles that were white like jade.

If one were to look at her now, she seemed to be a young girl that had yet to graduate from university.

As her hair was still half dry, Jiang Yuan didn’t properly tie it up. However, she still had a hair tie on her wrist.

***

She then got into the car.

Gu Xichao and her were both seated at the back, while the driver was driving in front.

The car slowly drew away from the mansion.

The mood was quite depressing without any specific reason, and Jiang Feng didn’t speak as well. She only looked out of the window and at the scenery silently, her thoughts probably elsewhere.

Gu Xichao was the one to speak first, and he said calmly, “About our divorce… Don’t tell Grandfather first. I’m worried that he can’t take it.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, and a smile appeared on her plain, beautiful face as she said, “I understand.’

Grandfather Gu had treated her so well. Naturally, she wouldn’t say anything about it at this time to upset him.

Her smile was distant and polite as if she was talking to a stranger.

‘But they were strangers all this while, weren’t they?’

Jiang Yuan looked at the elegant man next to her and wondered to herself.

Coincidentally, the car made a sharp turn, and she fell over to Gu Xichao’s side from that sudden motion.
