Chapter 1048: The Flash Marriage Heiress (32)

One could only say that Young Miss Tang's methods were truly extraordinary.

Gu Ye didn't think scheming women were bad. On the contrary, he found them exceptionally charming. The way they calculated and plotted was simply adorable.

He liked intelligent women. He had no interest in sweet, innocent girls who burst into tears whenever problems arose. Women who knew how to fight for themselves and use their wits were truly the finest treasures in the world.

Which was why he felt Luo Yicheng must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

"I'd like to ask Miss Tang an impertinent question."

Tang Guo raised an eyebrow. "What question?"

"When do you plan to get divorced?" A glint flashed across Gu Ye's eyes as he asked.

That's right.

This fascinating woman was plotting her divorce. Since he was interested in her, naturally he needed to know the timeline. He couldn't allow someone else to snatch her away first.

"Not anytime soon. At the very least, I'll wait until Luo Yicheng gets his company established. Besides, nothing has happened between him and Qian Beibei yet. Perhaps seeing her injured simply made him unable to bear it, so he's staying by her side in the hospital."

"Is that so? Miss Tang, your words don't quite match your heart."

Gu Ye thought to himself that there was no way she truly believed that.

Wait until the company was established?

Oh, right.

Luo Yicheng was quite capable when it came to making money. Recently, he'd been preparing to start a business. Gu Ye vaguely felt as though he had grasped something, but the picture was still unclear.

"When the time comes for your divorce, remember to come to me. Since you've taken such good care of my business, I'll handle your divorce free of charge."

Free?

Tang Guo narrowed her eyes.

Would Cheapskate Gu really process a case for free?

She found that difficult to believe.

"Lawyer Gu doesn't seem like himself today."

"What do you mean by that, Miss Tang?"

"You're being surprisingly generous. You're actually offering to handle my case for free."

"That's because you're one of my regular clients."

Tang Guo's lips curved upward. "Last time your idea of a discount was reducing the fee by ten thousand yuan. Lawyer Gu has always been a man of principles, especially when it comes to money. You avoid discounts whenever possible. It's hard to imagine you working for me free of charge."

This Cheapskate Gu definitely had ulterior motives, Tang Guo thought, though she had no intention of asking.

"I sincerely wish to help Miss Tang. As for the reason..." He smiled lightly. "Miss Tang is an outstanding woman."

He admired her.

He was interested in her.

Simply put, he wanted to snatch this woman away as soon as possible.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to reveal his intentions now.

First, he wasn't adequately prepared to move her heart.

Second, she was still married. If he intervened now, it would leave evidence that could affect the division of property during her future divorce.

For her sake and his own, this matter had to be carefully planned.

No matter what, he'd have to wait until she was divorced before revealing his feelings.

As long as he kept watch, she wouldn't fall into anyone else's hands.

That night, Luo Yicheng truly didn't go home. He remained at the hospital, keeping Qian Beibei company.

Especially when he saw her crying in the hospital, he simply couldn't harden his heart. In the end, all he could do was stay by her side.

The next morning, Luo Yicheng had intended to return home early.

But when he thought of Qian Beibei lying in the hospital with no one to take care of her, he called Tang Guo and told her that he would be coming home late again.

Then he bought all of Qian Beibei's favorite dishes and brought them to the hospital.

The moment she saw them, tears streamed down her face.

"I knew it."

"I knew you still had me in your heart."
