Avenge For Love novel Chapter 66

"Thank you." Wu Xingxie wiped her lips before speaking again. Her intentions were to talk about yesterday's events but seeing as someone else was here, she could only push it back to another time.

"Madam, I don't want to stay too long and disturb your time with this man. Please excuse me." Wu Xingxie made up a good reason to leave, dismissing herself.

"You're leaving so soon? I wanted to talk more about the marriage." Madam Gu seemed disappointed that the female wanted to leave so fast but respected her wishes. Nonetheless, there was no need for her to rush anyways.

After Wu Xingxie left the garden, Madam Gu exhaled in relief. She looked at the still man sitting before her, opening her mouth to speak but decided not to. She could tell something about him was off but what was it exactly?

There was a few minutes of silence between them until Bao Ling said something really low.

"Is she the one you've been working with?"

Madam Gu touched her big stomach and nodded, thinking of how successful their plan turned out.

"I'm still a bit shock that she's General Wu's daughter. I never suspected it would be his own daughter trying to ruin him." Madam Gu said as she shook her head in disbelief.

This was totally unexpected but a thought came

to her mind.

If Miss Wu marries Yanan, he'll be General Wu's son-in-law. With this, we can topple him much easier.

With this realization, Madam Gu gasped, staring at Bao Ling who had no idea what was on her mind.

"I have to go see Yanan right now." Madam Gu insisted, momentarily forgetting the fact that she was pregnant.

"You must not be rash. Don't forget that there's a child inside of you." The Demon King warned, but not in a stern tone. He was concerned about her health since she was pregnant after all.

"I know, but this involves an important matter. Ling, you are also at a good age for marriage. Would you like-" Before the pregnant woman was able to finish, a deep voice cut her off.

"I already have someone I love." Bao Ling didn't let her finish her sentence as he knew what she was going to suggest anyways.

Madam Gu was not expecting such a serious response so she went silent for a few seconds, not blinking.

"Someone you love?" She found it hard to believe seeing as she had never seen a female with him. From her knowledge, after

taking over the Bao clan, he got rid of female

Not only that, he just happened to be Wu Dingxiang's ally and was unfortunately chosen by Wu Xingxie to be used as the scapegoat.

After leaving Madam Gu's place, Wu Xingxie prepared to head back only to be bumped into by someone whom she currently didn't want to see.

"Miss Wu? My apologies." The young general said while she bowed as courtesy.

"Don't worry about it. I wasn't watching either." Wu Xingxie realized he must be visiting the estate to catch up with Madam Gu.

She wished he hadn't come at such a time. What if Madam Gu talks to him about marriage?

Wu Xingxie resumed walking for about thirty steps when she paused and thought to herself.

Now that I think about it, he is a general.

He has to report to the emperor so he will be in the palace many times. If I marry him, I can enter the palace with him and meet Doctor Wan Yu.

Seeing how her parents acted towards one another, Wu Xingxie didn't really care about marriage. Arranged marriages were for power, wealth, fame, and status so it never interested her. It was merely a facade put up for the public when in reality, dark secrets were kept hidden.
