Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Life and Death Moment (7)

Actually, when you think about it, who doesn’t love their own life? Could Mo Fei really stay here and join Fu Yubo in death?

When Wa Zicong heard him say this, a flicker of light flashed through his eyes in secret.

This did not escape Gu Nuan’s sharp eyes and intuition. Seeing what Wa Zicong was about to do, Gu Nuan suddenly said coldly, interrupting, "No!"

The rest of the people, hearing the firmness in her voice, felt a jolt in their hearts.

"If you want to leave, go ahead. I’ll stay here with him."

Upon hearing her words, Wa Zicong’s hand reached out and touched the wrist she held Fu Yubo’s hand with, gripping it tightly. Then, his eyes looked coldly at Fu Yubo and he said, "Do you want her to die here with you?"

Fu Yubo’s expression clearly struggled for a moment.

"Don’t pressure him!" Gu Nuan threw off Wa Zicong’s hand forcefully, her gaze growing even colder, "It’s my decision. I don’t need you to make it for me."

Wa Zicong felt as if his whole body shook with the force of her rejection, and his heart was a mix of complex emotions: How so? She loved this man so much that she was even willing to be buried with him rather than escape with Wa Zicong?

"Nuannuan—"

His hand reached out again and was once again thrown off by her.

"Manager Wa, I can’t hear what you’re saying. But remember, you don’t speak for me!"

"Do you want to die here? I know you’ll say I’m afraid of dying, but if you accompany him in death here, do you think he’ll be happy?" Wa Zicong, as he said these words, looked at the dying Fu Yubo with an even more terrifying gaze.

"Senior brother." Gu Nuan’s grip on the injured’s cold hand did not waver, her gaze resolute, "I believe we won’t die here. You heard and saw Miss Zhong’s character earlier, do you think she would let us die here?"

Fu Yubo’s gaze, which had fallen into despair due to Wa Zicong’s words, opened up with a glimmer of hope once again thanks to Gu Nuan’s remark, and he slowly nodded towards her, "I, I believe—Miss Zhong—"

The others present had initially thought that Gu Nuan was just being a hero, not realizing that her trust in Zhong Qiaohui was so profound.

Upon recalling the behavior between the two women earlier, it seemed that they had only been arranged to share a room, and nothing more. Why should Gu Nuan trust a woman who was essentially a stranger? Both women appeared to be pampered rich daughters.

When it came to trust, Gu Nuan knew one thing: although faces may be known and hearts may not, one can have a glimpse of a person’s character by observing their daily attitude towards life.

Zhong Qiaohui, Gu Nuan had lived with her for two days. This allowed her, Gu Nuan, the good fortune to observe closely how this rich young lady lived on a daily basis. After two days of interaction, Gu Nuan had at least reached one conclusion: Zhong Qiaohui was different from Su Yixia, and also different from Xiaoliu and Li Changzhi. The biggest difference with Zhong Qiaohui was that she didn’t pretend.

Think about it, on the first day Zhong Qiaohui interacted with her, she had said she didn’t want Gu Nuan to talk to her. Would someone who was pretentious behave like that with her?

Regarding Zhong Qiaohui’s way of sleeping, taking a bath, and dressing, she was careless and forthright, without any of the airs of a rich young lady. If not for the need to apply lipstick for a business trip, Gu Nuan had reason to believe that this rich daughter probably didn’t even like makeup that much on a daily basis.
