Chapter 2165: Take You as My Wife

“Tell me straight. What do you want?” Ning Shu asked Gu Rui. He definitely had an ulterior motive.
Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu. “I plan to take you as my wife.”
“Wha-?” Ning Shu almost bit her tongue.
Why did he suddenly bring up marriage?
“Why?” Ning Shu asked. Her vigilance increased. “You want to become my husband and inherit my father’s wealth?”
Gu Rui nodded. “I’ve decided to marry you.”
“What for?” Ning Shu suspected that she was hallucinating. She stared at Gu Rui in disbelief.
Gu Rui had already obtained the map and found the state preceptor’s tomb. Ning Shu didn’t understand why he wanted to marry her.
Don’t even mention love. Gu Rui only cared about his own great cause of restoring his country. Not to mention, Gu Rui didn’t like her at all.
“Taoist Cheng said that you have the fate of the phoenix empress. I have dragon energy protecting myself. With our combined luck, this trip will definitely be much smoother.”
“Those who have attained the Tao will be helped by the heavens.” Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu. “You and I will join in conjugal union. With the relationship between the dragon and the phoenix, the luck of a nation will pour down on us in torrents and the road ahead will be much safer.”
Ning Shu: …
Ptooey!
What should she say?
Ning Shu opened her mouth, paused for a while, and then said, “Bro, you really shouldn’t trust feudal superstition. Don’t believe this stuff.”
“If you agree, let’s perform the three bows of marriage right now,” Gu Rui said.
“No, no…” Ning Shu waved her hands quickly. “I haven’t thought about getting married yet.”
When Fang Lanxin came back, what the heck would she see? She would be a married woman and the marriage bows were done near corpse raising ground.
She’d be horrified!
Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu. “I’m not good enough.”
“You’re a person of great ability and political integrity. Your character is outstanding and your appearance is very good.”
“Am I a burden for you?”
“You’re mature and earnest.” And fricking two-faced.
“Then why don’t you want to marry me?” Gu Rui asked with raised eyebrows.
“Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for us to talk about this in front of someone’s tomb?” Ning Shu was expressionless.
“The tomb has already been pried open. I don’t care about that,” Gu Rui said indifferently.
Ning Shu: He was certainly arrogant enough…
“I won’t marry you. You have to be as fat as me if you want to marry me. You’re so thin, I won’t even consider you.” Ning Shu raised her chin and said proudly.
“Fang Lanxin, this is an important matter. Don’t be willful.”
“Why should I sacrifice this important milestone of my life for your damn business? What does your stuff have to do with me? What gives you the right to demand this of me? What do I owe you?”
“Do you think you’re doing me a favor by marrying me? If I marry you like this, I’d be climbing up the social ladder? I can’t and don’t want to climb any higher.” Ning Shu snorted, turned around, and left.
Gu Rui suddenly reached out and grabbed Ning Shu’s wrist. “No matter what, from today onwards, you are my wife. The heavens and the earth are the witnesses.”
“Fuck you.” Ning Shu shook off Gu Rui’s hand. “You’re sick.”
Ning Shu’s impression of Gu Rui became even worse, yet Gu Rui’s emotions remained unperturbed. “This is just a makeshift plan. When we leave the tomb, you and I will have no relationship with each other.”
Ning Shu couldn’t help rolling her eyes, “Gu Rui, don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind.”
“Then what do you think is on my mind?” Gu Rui asked.
Ning Shu: …
Who frickin’ knew!
At this time, Cheng Mingzi came over and said to Gu Rui, “Young Master Gu, have someone with a strong body and good martial arts enter the tomb first.”
