Chapter 18 Watching the Drama?
Gu Dongxing looked at Jiang Mengyu but didn't speak. However, his expression conveyed his suspicion.
"You see, you were able to climb that high cliff. Even for a well-trained person, it would be difficult to climb without the help of a rope, but you managed to do it."
Jiang Mengyu was left speechless.
She wanted to say that she had jumped down from above.
Then the question arose, why would she jump off the cliff?
From above, one couldn't see the pine tree stretching out from the cave that would catch her, preventing her from falling to the bottom of the cliff and shattering to pieces.
If she said she was forced, that she was the Jiang Mengyu sold by her parents, and that she jumped off the cliff to escape being sold.
But then the next question came, she had jumped off the cliff a month ago, how had she survived the past month on the cliff?
What had she been eating and using?
Could it be, she needed to take out her storage talisman to prove herself?
Gu Dongxing then asked: "Also, how did you know my name is Gu Dongxing?"
Jiang Mengyu was even more at a loss for words.
Could she say she knew his name Gu Dongxing because she had experienced her past life?
She couldn't say anything.
Gu Dongxing continued: "So, don't you think you are too suspicious? Do you still consider yourself a good woman now?"
Jiang Mengyu was exasperated: She was truly a good woman.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Dongxing felt amused inside. Although he couldn't completely eliminate her from suspicion, he had actually realized she wasn't the spy he was looking for.
If the spies were this foolish, his mission would be too easy.
"So, you should agree to our investigation, understand?" Gu Dongxing added.
"How should I accept your investigation? Are you going to arrest me?"
"Just a suspicion, no need to arrest. However—" Gu Dongxing stroked his chin: "Just come and stay with me for a few days."
Jiang Mengyu wanted to refuse, but then a sudden thought crossed her mind: "Okay, I'll go with you, but I shall stay as your fiancée, at your home."
"Ah?" Gu Dongxing didn't expect her to make such a demand.
Suddenly, he thought of something. There was a woman claiming to be his childhood sweetheart living in his dorm. If this woman claiming to be his fiancée moved into his room, he wondered if she could drive his childhood sweetheart away?
"Deal!"
Jiang Mengyu knew he would definitely not agree.
"I know you can't let a woman like me pretend to be your fiancée, you understand, but—what did you say? You agree?"
Her bewildered appearance amused Gu Dongxing.
He slightly smiled: "I said, deal!"
"Hey, is this really okay?" Already walking into the residential area, Jiang Mengyu continued to ask.
Since entering the compound, many people had been looking at them.
Moreover, everyone's gaze seemed strange and resembled the kind used when watching a drama.
Did Gu Dongxing have a drama to watch?
"What's wrong with that, it's just a residential area, you are my fiancée, it's perfectly natural for you to stay here." When Gu Dongxing talked about his girlfriend, he blinked a few times.
Jiang Mengyu rolled her eyes: "Can you stop taking advantage of me?"
"Oh, saying you are my fiancée is me taking advantage of you, huh? Then, when you told people in the mountains that your fiancé was Gu Dongxing, wasn't that you taking advantage of me?"
"Pfft!" Jiang Mengyu disdainfully said: "How am I taking advantage of you? I am a woman, you know? It was just a temporary measure I had to—"
"Shush—" Gu Dongxing warned: "You can't speak again about 'temporary measure', otherwise, you will no longer have the right to stay in my house. Unless, you want to be locked up as a suspect by me."
