Remarried to a top-tier playboy, her reborn ex-husband is filled with regret.

"The wedding was suddenly moved up, so there are many things that need to be prepared."

Lord Gu spoke kindly.

Gu's mother smiled as well:

"That's right. Take this wedding dress for example, I don't even know if it can be finished in time."

Upon hearing this, Yunmu paused, and her smile faded slightly.

Shu Yao's needlework skills weren't very good, but it wasn't to the point that she started picking and choosing before even entering the family.

Gu Jinghuai didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he believed that Yun Shuyao could handle it and wouldn't criticize her elders.

Yun Shuyao looked at Gu Jinghuai indifferently, and as expected, he showed no intention of defending her.

That was how it was in his past life; no matter how much his mother made things difficult for him, he remained unmoved.

Sometimes he would even help his mother remind herself that parents are always right.

Looking back now, it was truly a case of feeding a dog with all one's heart, and still, the kind that can't be tamed.

Yun Shuyao lowered her head and thought for a while before suddenly speaking.

"My lord, my lady, my daughter has something she wishes to discuss with the young master privately."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghuai stood up first, looked down at her, and said:

"Perfect timing, I also have something I'd like to say to you."

Yun Shuyao looked at him in confusion, wondering where Gu Jinghuai's sudden anger came from after he had been so gentle just moments before.

The father was happy that his two young children needed to spend time alone together.

He immediately waved to Yun Shuyao and urged her with a smile:

"Go quickly, the marriage is already arranged, there's no need to hold back any longer."

Upon hearing about the marriage proposal, Yun Shuyao couldn't contain her hatred and glanced at Gu Jinghuai.

Gu Jinghuai nodded, then turned and walked outside without saying a word.

Yun Shuyao followed.

Gu Jinghuai walked quickly, showing no intention of taking care of Yun Shuyao.

Yun Shuyao was used to it; he had always been like that.

Gu Jinghuai walked until he reached behind the artificial hill where no one could hear him before turning around to look at Yun Shuyao behind him.

Even if you've decided to treat her well, there are still some rules that need to be established in advance.

"Why bother with such petty tricks? The Crown Prince's wife will be yours sooner or later."

Yun Shuyao stood still, slightly out of breath, when she heard a barrage of questions.

Meeting Gu Jinghuai's cold eyes, she felt a sudden tightness in her chest for no reason.

"What do you mean by that?"

To him, Yun Shuyao's reaction seemed like she was pretending nothing had happened.

If it weren't for his memories of his past life, he would have been the last to know about the marriage negotiations between the two families.

"Actually, you don't need to do this. Keeping me in the dark won't solve any problems."

"I'm the groom. Even if you've secretly arranged the wedding date with your elders, if I don't want to get married, who can force me?"

Gu Jinghuai's tone was cold, yet full of reproach.

Yun Shuyao finally understood.

Gu Jinghuai seemed to think that she was behind the marriage proposal, having arranged it behind his back?

Looking at Gu Jinghuai's cold eyes, if it weren't for the scene she witnessed before she died, she would have thought that this man had never been close to anyone and had been aloof since childhood.

She's been trying so hard to adapt.

But looking at it now, it's so glaring!

Yun Shuyao stared at him coldly.

"I don't know why you think that way. When the two families meet and discuss things is not something a junior like me can decide."

If someone caused the misunderstanding, go and confront them!

And another thing! You can rest assured, I won't interfere with you and your beloved cousin's life together!

Not only do I not want the wedding date to be moved up, but I will also try my best to persuade my elders to cancel the engagement!

"I also urge the Heir Apparent and the Marquis to take the initiative to propose annulment of the engagement."

"Yun Shuyao!"

Gu Jinghuai's eyes suddenly turned cold, his jaw tightened, and he warned, word by word:

"Do you have to make such a scene? Why drag Yu Yan into this?"

Don't you know how much damage such words would do to a woman's reputation if outsiders heard them?

Yun Shuyao's face showed a mocking expression.

"First of all, I'm not joking; I'm serious about announcing the engagement."

Furthermore, what reputation does Su Yuyan have to speak of? What a ridiculous joke!

If you and she really care about this, wouldn't you be more discreet?

It wasn't me who ruined her reputation, it was her lack of self-respect and your inappropriate behavior!

Yun Shuyao's voice was firm and resolute, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.

They had argued about this in their past life, and at that time she tried her best to defend herself, hoping that Gu Jinghuai would not be angry about it.

Whenever Su Yuyan is involved, Gu Jinghuai is biased in everything.

If Gu Jinghuai hadn't lied about being impotent, she would have realized it much sooner.

Gu Jinghuai had never seen Yun Shuyao speak to him like this before, and looking into her cold eyes, he suddenly felt a stab in his heart.

Gu Jinghuai did not get angry, but kept his lips tightly pressed together for a long time.

"Incomprehensible!"

Seeing that he was already so angry but still refused to break off the engagement, Yun Shuyao could only resort to provocation.

"Gu Jinghuai, if you have any backbone, hurry up and ask the Marquis to annul the engagement!"

If you hesitate or make even the slightest mistake, I'll look down on you!

These words were sincere; Yun Shuyao didn't want to see him looking so unwilling yet forced to marry her again.

Seeing that he wouldn't budge, Yun Shuyao had no desire to continue the conversation and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, my wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Gu Jinghuai caught up, and despite Yun Shuyao's resistance, he gripped her hand even tighter.

The man's Adam's apple bobbed as he calmed himself before speaking.

"No matter how much you quarrel with me, you can't bring up Yu Yan."

If you dare to do anything to ruin Yu Yan's reputation, this young master will absolutely not let you off easily!

Yun Shuyao's lips trembled; even though her heart had died, it still felt pain.

It's because of Yu Yan again!

Their countless arguments in their past lives were all because of Yu Yan!

He thought Su Yuyan loved him so much, but she only liked the luxurious life he provided.

Yun Shuyao asked in a cold tone.

Why should I cover for you?

"Since you like her so much, why don't you marry her? Why are you ruining my life?"

Looking at her resolute expression, Gu Jinghuai felt that something was very wrong!

She had always been so obedient; even when arguing with him, she would never become so resolute, nor would she ever mention breaking off the engagement.

Moreover, the hatred in his eyes seemed to overlap with a gaze from a distant memory.

"Shu Yao...you shouldn't be like this! How could you bear to break off your engagement with me, the young master?"

Shouldn't it be like this?

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuyao was stunned. How could he know that he shouldn't have done that?

Could he also be... someone who has returned from another world?

If that's the case, then Gu Jinghuai's various unusual behaviors become understandable.

In a flash, memories of her dying moments surfaced: Gu Jinghuai's strangely deep affection, and that promise.

"If there is an afterlife... I will never let you down..."

The incantation-like words lingered in her mind, and Yun Shuyao's expression gradually became serious.

If he were reborn, he would never agree to annul the engagement.

After all, in her previous life, she had worked herself to the bone and died, while Gu Jinghuai and Su Yuyan were the ultimate beneficiaries.

The original plan was no longer feasible, and Gu Jinghuai would certainly not cooperate with her in announcing the engagement.

While Yun Shuyao was lost in thought, Gu Jinghuai was also silently scrutinizing her.

Finally, Gu Jinghuai realized that his suspicions were somewhat unfounded.

How could such a bizarre and strange thing as rebirth happen so often?

He believed that others would not be so lucky as to wake up in their early twenties after dying peacefully at the age of eighty.

He admonished him somewhat impatiently:

"Where have you gone from learning all the virtues and precepts for women? Is this how you talk to your husband?"

Gu Jinghuai didn't want things to get too ugly before the wedding.

Moreover, Yun Shuyao was somewhat spoiled before her marriage.

Once she gets married, she will become the dignified mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

In this life, he will not allow himself to suffer any accidents, so he will compensate her with a child.

It is believed that after Yun Shuyao has her own children, she will devote herself even more to managing the Marquis's mansion.

As for not letting her ruin Yu Yan's reputation, it's because in this life, he doesn't intend to have any involvement with Yu Yan.

After all, he and Yu Yan had already lived a perfect life as husband and wife in their previous life, leaving no regrets.

Therefore, in this life, he will keep his promise to Shu Yao before her death and treat her well.

Yun Shuyao scoffed, abruptly shook off his hand, and turned to leave.

They're not even married yet, and she's already putting on airs. Does she think she can't live without him?

"The engagement is definitely being called off, whether you agree or not."

Yun Shuyao didn't stop walking, nor did she turn her head. What she said wasn't a discussion, but rather a unilateral notification from her.

"I have no intention of settling, and I will certainly not marry a man whose heart belongs to someone else!"

Gu Jinghuai frowned as he looked at his empty hands.

Watching that receding figure, I felt lost in thought. Was it just my imagination?

She doesn't seem to be joking...
