Lu Mingxi frowned, remaining silent.
He recognized him.
So, what connection could the Gu family's immensely powerful crown prince have with the sister of his good friend?
Gu Qishen's tone displeased Qin He. Her expression turned cold, and her clear voice held a hint of sternness, "Sir, do I know you? Did your mother teach you to be polite when you're out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Mingxi, who had been watching the scene unfold, let out a scoffing laugh.
Gu Qishen's face grew even colder. He hadn't expected Qin He to speak to him that way.
Her previous timidness was clearly all an act.
Suppressing his raging anger, he strode forward, his strong hand gripping Qin He's slender wrist tightly. "Come with me."
Qin He was truly angered now. She tried to break free from his grasp and blurted out, "Are you crazy?"
Gu Qishen's steps halted abruptly. He glanced at her sideways, his gaze sweeping over her coolly. "You're a good actress. Keep it up later."
"..." Qin He was momentarily speechless, genuinely not knowing what to say.
And her wrist hurt terribly...
Qin He glared at Gu Qishen.
This man in front of her seemed genuinely insane.
Just then, Lu Mingxi, who had been silent, spoke up. "Mr. Gu, you seem to have hurt my little sister."
Gu Qishen tugged at the corner of his mouth, responding nonsensically, "Then, Mr. Lu, are you also interested in this kind of woman?"
Qin He was furious. She felt like a bomb about to explode.
She struggled to wrench her hand free from Gu Qishen's grip and snapped, "Are you from Dunhuang? With so many murals? Is it your place to comment on others?"
Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Lu Mingxi quickly stood up and pulled Qin He closer to him. "Gu Qishen, did you hear that? She doesn't know you."
Qin He rolled her eyes at Gu Qishen, rubbing her wrist.
It hurt so much. What a jerk.
Wait a minute...
He was Gu Qishen?
She couldn't help but recall what her brother had said.
Without a second thought, she blurted out, "Are you that scumbag?"
"Scumbag?" Gu Qishen found it almost unbelievable that Qin He could say that. He forced out two chilling words through clenched teeth.
Qin He raised an eyebrow.
Was she wrong?
Given his behavior just now, if he wasn't a scumbag, he was scum!
Qin He crossed her arms. Seeing Gu Qishen's face darken, she plastered a fake smile on her beautiful face. "You don't need to treat me like this. I really don't know you. I had a car accident recently and lost my memory."
Lost her memory?
Gu Qishen frowned. He didn't quite believe her at first.
But remembering Qin He's completely different demeanor compared to before, he suddenly found it plausible.
His gaze was a cold probe, but Qin He met it with composure.
Soon, Gu Qishen regained his composure.
"It's even better if you've lost your memory."
His voice was icy, and his handsome features seemed shrouded in frost.
"Tomorrow, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce."
A deathly silence fell over the private room.
Qin He was silent for a long moment, then pointed at herself stiffly and with disbelief. "Me?"
Gu Qishen gave a cold, mocking smile. "Who else? Him?"
The "him" clearly referred to Lu Mingxi.
Lu Mingxi immediately scoffed.
Qin He felt struck by lightning.
What... she had actually gotten married in the past two years!
Married... she hoped there weren't any children...
Qin He's heart pounded as she tentatively asked, "Do we have any children?"
Gu Qishen didn't answer, only giving her a cold, slightly sarcastic look.
Qin He understood then. There probably weren't any children.
She also understood that her marriage hadn't been a happy one.
She didn't know how she had lived the previous two years, but her current memories were of her original self.
Spoiled rotten by the Qin family, she feared nothing and no one. Sometimes, when she was angry, she would even scold her brother, let alone this man who had been unfriendly since the moment they met.
"It's best if there aren't any," Qin He said, her expression also grim. She let out a sigh through her lips. "I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get the divorce."
Then, her gaze fixed calmly on him. "I agree. You can leave now."
Gu Qishen's eyes darkened further. "I hope you keep your promise."
Without any hesitation, he turned and left.
What a jerk!
Qin He cursed him fiercely in her mind again, wishing she could punch him in the back.
How could she have been so blind to marry him!
