After Time Traveling, I was Forced to Marry a Wealthy Family

Mu Ci sat on the sofa, prepared, staring at the big screen in front of him. Gu Huai stood behind him with a complicated expression. The atmosphere was depressing, which made Bai Ling, who was playing the surveillance video, feel a chill down his back. He pressed the play button with trembling hands.

It was normal at first. There were sixteen areas on the big screen. Occasionally, patrolling guards flashed by, but most of the time it was just iron railings and tree shadows in the dark.

Bai Ling pressed the fast forward button, and Mu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward, and stared at the screen like a falcon.

At 11:20, the screen suddenly flashed with snowflakes. Mu Ci was stunned and couldn’t help but stand up, “What’s going on?”

Bai Ling typed a few times on the keyboard and shrugged. “The system was hacked, and all the videos from 11:20 to 12:00 were lost.”

Mu Ci gritted his teeth, “How could this happen? Isn’t your system known as an iron wall? How could it be so easily hacked?”

He glanced at Gu Huai suspiciously, who didn’t change his expression, bullying Mu Ci who only knew a little about the Internet, and said calmly, “We had a cooperative relationship with the Jing family, and part of the system was open to them, so it was not impossible to be invaded.”

Mu Ci looked at him dubiously. Gu Huai smiled, ruffled his hair, and said softly, “After all, it is difficult for an upright official to resolve household affairs. It is not easy for us to interfere between them. You see, Jing Zheng did not harm Zheng Xuran. He means it, and also allows him to contact you, so let them talk on their own, whether they reunite or they don’t agree, they will always have a result.”

Seeing that Mu Ci still had worries on his face, Gu Huai said again, “Anyway, don’t worry. Whenever Zheng Xuran asks you for help, I will spare no effort to help him. Is that okay?”

Mu Ci felt relieved and nodded, “I have to have a phone call with him in a few days. I have to confirm his safety before I feel at ease.”

Gu Huai did not comment, took Mu Ci’s hand, and led him out of the monitoring room.

Mu Ci was always worried, but he also knew very well that just as Gu Huai said, there was no room for him to interfere between Jing Zheng and Zheng Xuran.

Moreover, Mu Ci was too busy to take care of himself now. He had his own troubles – there was only one week left before the three-month agreement with Gu Huai.

He had to give Gu Huai an accurate answer.

But Mu Ci had no clue at all, and the emotion of wanting to leave at all costs had faded. In the past three months, Gu Huai had been very good to him, so good that Mu Ci couldn’t ignore it. His feelings were very straightforward. He hated whoever hurt him and liked whoever treated him well.

And as of now, it seemed that Gu Huai was definitely the best person for him.

Mu Ci had to admit that there were indeed several times when he couldn’t hide his heartbeat.

However, Mu Ci was afraid, afraid that his emotions were just pure dependence. In his heart, two people must be in love to be together. He couldn’t pretend to like Gu Huai in order to gain his love and care. This was very dangerous.

Mu Ci hugged his head irritably, laid on the table, and sighed.

There was bright sunshine outside the window, and the tall buildings in the distance seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.

Mu Ci liked this world, and he didn’t want to go back to the bloody palace, but if he stayed here, how should he face Gu Huai’s love?

.

A week passed quickly. Mu Ci came out of the bedroom that morning and saw Gu Huai sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.

Normally, he would have gone to the company or studied at this time. Mu Ci’s heart trembled, and his fists clenched unconsciously. He slowly walked over and sat across from Gu Huai.

Gu Huai looked at him carefully and couldn’t help but sigh, “Time flies so fast.”

Mu Ci didn’t know what to say, so he said nothing.

Gu Huai observed his expression and laughed in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word.”

He took out two wooden boxes, pushed them in front of Mu Ci, and opened them, “I just want you to make a choice.”

Two identical boxes contained his jade pendant and the ring that Gu Huai gave him personally.

“Do you choose to go back or choose me?”

Mu Ci looked at the ring and then at the jade pendant. He still remembered that a long time ago, he and Gu Huai had lived in harmony. Gu Huai had taken him into the jewelry store, followed his advice, and bought this simple and exquisite men’s ring, with their names engraved on the inner ring.

Mu Ci looked at the jade pendant again. How did he know the secret of time travel, and how did he get this jade pendant? These things clearly happened not long ago, but Mu Ci’s memory was blurry.

Mu Ci looked into Gu Huai’s eyes again. Those eyes were extremely gentle and sincere. Mu Ci felt an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. He choked up and said in a hoarse voice: “But, Gu Huai, maybe I will be the same all my life. I can’t love you the way you love me…”

“How dare I ask you to love me.” Gu Huai’s voice also trembled a little, “Although I don’t mention the things I did to you before, I remember every one of them. In my heart, I dream about it almost every night. I regret it to death. I am afraid that you will hate me forever. How can I dare to force you to love me… As long as you stay, anything will be fine. Mu Ci, just treat me well. Please…” Gu Huai looked at him intently and reached for the ring, “Stay here.”

Before he touched the box, Mu Ci reached out and picked up the ring.

Gu Huai was stunned and couldn’t help but hold his breath. He looked at Mu Ci nervously, watched him pick up the ring, looked at it for a while, and then put it on his ring finger.

“Okay.” Mu Ci said.

He said yes, with just one word, the word he had been waiting for when Gu Huai knelt down to propose and said marry me a long time ago, now he finally heard it in his mouth.

Gu Huai felt that the blood all over his body became active. He stood up suddenly, jumped over the small coffee table, and threw Mu Ci onto the sofa. He lowered his head and kissed him deeply.

Mu Ci was startled and subconsciously wanted to push him away. Gu Huai grabbed his hand, carefully and affectionately licked the corners of his lips, and slowly stuck his tongue in.

Their breaths were intertwined, and Mu Ci could smell the familiar, pleasant, and reassuring smell on his body. Mu Ci hesitated for a moment, then finally stopped struggling and raised his body slightly to meet Gu Huai’s kiss.

The days ahead were long, and there would be a long time to pass. Although they did not have a good start, they fortunately had a good ending.

Gu Huai kissed him excitedly, and when his tongue was lingering enough, he kissed his neck and collarbone, and his fingers lingered on the skirt of his clothes. Mu Ci inexplicably remembered the time when the puppy Ping An threw him down and licked him fiercely while wagging his tail. Looking at Gu Huai, if he had a tail, he would be able to wag powerfully at this time.

“I’m so happy. Really, I’ve never been so happy in my life. You don’t even know that I’ve been so nervous for the past three months.” Gu Huai grabbed Mu Ci’s hand and kissed the back of his hand and the finger with the ring.

Mu Ci’s fingers were slender and white. They were a little itchy after being kissed by Gu Huai, so he unconsciously pulled them back, “Okay, okay, stop kissing. This is the living room. Bai Ling will be back soon.”

“If he’s back. Just tell him to get lost.” Gu Huai took out his hand, took out a remote control from nowhere, and locked the doors and windows of the living room. Then he threw the remote control behind him, untied Mu Ci’s clothes, slowly leaned down, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, “I want to have sex with you now.”

.

Half an hour later, when Bai Ling came back, he saw the living room like enchased with iron walls and the rolling shutter door had been lowered. He asked inexplicably: “What are you doing in broad daylight?”

Jiang Wenjing was feeding bugs to a pot of flytraps she had just raised on the window sill. Hearing this, she said: “You’d better not knock on the door, if you don’t want to die.”

Bai Ling understood instantly, touched his chin, and cursed with a smile: “Damn, in broad daylight, the boss is really powerful, no, I have to find a girl tonight.”

Jiang Wenjing glanced at him, “You go out with me tonight.”

Bai Ling was instantly horrified, “I won’t, I don’t want to accompany you to see a corpse again!”

“No.” Jiang Wenjing’s eyes flashed. If Bai Ling looked carefully, he would find that the look in her eyes was very similar to that of his boss.

Jiang Wenjing gave a rare smile, “I want to buy something, let you help me pick it out.”

Bai Ling didn’t care and shrugged, “Whatever, I’m free anyway.”
