Ye Zhiqing asked nervously, “Are you a fugitive? Or a serial killer? A spy?”

Gu Mingcheng looked at her strangely. What was in this woman’s head? Seeing that she was getting more and more ridiculous, he knocked her head and said, “What nonsense are you thinking about?!”

Ye Zhiqing touched her aching forehead and waited for him to give her an answer.

Gu Mingcheng sat on the sofa like a master. His long legs stretched out to the sides and he exuded an untamed aura.

I thought you said you didn’t want to know.

Ye Zhiqing guessed that his identity was definitely not ordinary, but her curiosity won over her rationality. Besides, this man was clinging onto her again, so it was better to know something.

Gu Mingcheng glanced at her and said unhurriedly, “My father owes a lot of money in gambling and has been running away from his debts. Yesterday, I went to return the money. Those people thought that I still didn’t have money, so they accidentally injured me. I’ve already given them one million yuan. They won’t come looking for trouble with me in the future. You don’t have to worry.”

After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply. This sigh seemed to contain his endless sadness.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t expect this to be the reason and her heart softened for a moment. She quickly reacted and said, “Didn’t you say you were an orphan?”

Gu Mingcheng paused and explained, “Yes, after my father died in the process of escaping from his debts. I became an orphan.”

Ye Zhiqing vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she could not put her finger on it.

Gu Mingcheng didn’t give her another chance and said, “I’ve already been like that yesterday. You have to be responsible for me. Besides, I don’t have money and I have nowhere to go.”

Ye Zhiqing could only pinch her nose and bite the bullet. However, he was not a vicious person, so she still heaved a sigh of relief.

She said, “Forget it this time. If you dare to lie to me again, you’ll have to leave by yourself.”

Gu Mingcheng lowered his head and did not say anything. He only responded with a grunt after a while. When he raised his head again, his expression was a little complicated. He could not reveal his true identity yet, or else it would really bring her danger.

In the midst of his hesitation, he chose not to say anything. However, he did not know that this matter would become a major crisis between them and make their relationship increasingly distant.

After Ye Zhiqing resolved the doubts in her heart, she helped him to change his dressing without any complaints. From then on, she had to take care of his basic necessities.

After a few days, Ye Zhiqing remembered that her house was still occupied by Zhou Wenting. She wondered if he had moved out.

Seeing that Gu Mingcheng was able to move around freely today, she said, “We can’t stay in the hotel forever. I still have a house. I’ll clean it up and move out.”

Gu Mingcheng insisted on following along. Ye Zhiqing had no choice but to agree.

The two of them came to Street Garden, in the middle of the city. This was where she lived.

When she opened the door and entered, she saw that Tian Xin was also there. She jumped up and shouted, “Ye Zhiqing, you still dare to appear in front of me?”

Ye Zhiqing raised her brows and said, “You framed me. In the end, you were the one who suffered humiliation. Why wouldn’t I dare to appear? Besides, this house is mine.”

Before Tian Xin could refute her, she heard the last sentence. Her expression froze and she called out unhappily, “Zhou Wenting.”

Zhou Wenting was busy in the kitchen when he heard her shout. He quickly came out and asked, “What’s wrong?”

He was stunned when he looked up and saw Ye Zhiqing.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t expect Zhou Wenting to have such a side to him. He was still wearing his white shirt and suit pants, but he had put on a floral apron. There was even a smear of black ash on his face, which made him look very comical.

When they were together before, he said that he didn’t know how to cook and had never cooked before. It was Ye Zhiqing who took care of him.

Their eyes met and Tian Xin was displeased. She stood beside Zhou Wenting and hugged his arm. “Wenting, look at her. She still dares to pester us.”

Previously, in order to please her, Zhou Wenting had said many things about Ye Zhiqing pestering him in all sorts of ways, but he had ruthlessly rejected her. Therefore, Tian Xin naturally thought that Ye Zhiqing was unwilling to give up on Zhou Wenting and wanted to reconcile with him.

She pretended to be close to Ye Zhiqing on purpose. She was secretly pleased that Ye Zhiqing’s man was hers.

Under Tian Xin’s expectant gaze, Zhou Wenting was speechless. Everything he said was a lie..
