Chapter 1576: Rubik's Cube Beauty (38)

Gong Wei no longer cared about that matter and instead asked Tang Guo, "After you've finished dealing with everything, are you leaving this place?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously pulled her into his embrace, even tightening his hold a little. "You said it yourself. Once everything is settled, I'll bring my dowry and marry into Trade City. Are you planning to go back on your word?"

System: 【Host, don't you think you're being a bit of a scumbag? Look at him. You just promised to marry him, and now your precious darling thinks you're going to leave after handling your business. He's so frightened. Hurry up and comfort him.】

Tang Guo hadn't expected Gong Wei to become so invested.

Seeing the pitiful look in his eyes, she could practically read the accusation written within them.

You heartless woman, you promised to marry me, and now you're planning to pat your butt and leave?

She suddenly wondered whether he would actually cry while clinging to her if she said she was leaving.

"Gong Wei."

"No excuses. You have to keep your promise."

System: Hahaha, what a sticky candy. Surprised, Host?

"I'm not saying I won't." Tang Guo wrapped her arms around his waist. "After resolving the crisis of the Rubik's Cube World, I'll stay here until my life comes to an end."

"You're really willing to stay until the end of your life?" Gong Wei asked.

Tang Guo nodded. "Of course."

Gong Wei finally relaxed. He held her tightly, his voice low and affectionate. "I don't care what you are or what kind of secret technique you've cultivated. Since you've promised, you have to keep your word. You're a City Lord of the Rubik's Cube World. Every word you say must count, otherwise the rules will punish you."

Was that a threat?

Tang Guo pursed her lips into a smile. "Of course it counts. But the lifespan of a City Lord can't be predicted. No one knows when they'll disappear."

System: Is this considered a warning? After all, Host can only extend her lifespan by twenty years.

"It doesn't matter. When we get married, we'll form a bond. If you disappear, I'll die too."

When Tang Guo was about to lie down and rest, she saw that instead of sleeping on the floor, Gong Wei climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her. Wrapping his arms around her, he noticed her staring at him and explained, "We're getting married anyway. Sleeping on the floor all the time isn't appropriate. You already told others that we're engaged and living together, so from today onward, let's officially live together."

With that, he closed his eyes while holding her in his embrace.

Tang Guo stroked his face and said to the System, "He's really such a simple fellow. To him, hugging each other while sleeping counts as living together."

【Host, maybe you're just too dirty-minded. How is sleeping together while hugging not living together?】

The next day, everyone noticed that there seemed to be something different between Tang Guo and Gong Wei.

Tang Guo also discovered that something about Zhai Chenming had changed.

Gong Wei looked at Zhai Chenming a few times before turning his gaze away. His voice reached only Tang Guo's ears. "I don't see anything wrong with him."

"There is something wrong with him. It's just very well hidden."

Just like Gong Wei, Tang Guo only spared Zhai Chenming a few glances before looking away and announcing that she wanted to go enjoy the attractions.

Hand in hand, the two departed, leaving only their backs to Zhai Chenming.

The clenched fist in Zhai Chenming's hand slowly loosened.

"They really didn't notice?"

"Heh heh heh..." A sinister laugh rang out. "Kid, they're people of the Rubik's Cube World. If they had discovered anything unusual about you, would they have calmly walked away like that? If they'd noticed, you'd already have been crushed to death by them. Do you believe in my abilities now, kid?"

"My goal is to obtain the medicine that can cure Xue'er's terminal illness and then leave this place."
