Chapter 117: Your Life, Your Choice (1)

"But still… I can't just wait here and do nothing when I know she needs me." 

He never wanted for Gu Yuyao to feel that she was alone and unwanted again. He'd promised her she wouldn't be alone again. But how was he supposed to keep his promise if she was the one who wasn't giving him a chance to fulfill it? 

He had a gist of what the Gu family wanted from her and he feared that her family would arrange her marriage with another man because she was the sole heiress to their family business. 

It was only natural for the Gu family to wish for her to settle with a man with the same status as her. This was one of the rare times that He Lianchen regretted not fighting with his older brother for his right to his inheritance. 

If he was on the same status as Gu Yuyao, he would have a better chance to convince her family to ask for her hand in marriage. 

"If I made another deal with you, would you help me?" He asked Feng Tianyi.
