171. Quid pro quo (4)

"Uh......"

Being asked by Qiu Yueze like this, Gao Ran remembered that now was not the time to deal with him! Moreover, what he asked actually happened to be what she was going to tell him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since he took the initiative to ask first, she would save herself from finding another opportunity to talk later.

"Why don't you just tell him now!"

Thinking like this, Gao Ran went straight to the point, "Okay! Qiu Yueze, there are some things, I originally planned to find a suitable time to make it clear to you later."

"But since you asked first, I'll tell you now!

"Yes!

"I won't hide it from you, in fact, as early as two years ago, I had a private agreement with him for life. I asked him for marriage, and he said yes! So, to me, he's already my fiancé!

"Originally, I planned to find a suitable time to visit you in the future, and then talk to you about this in person. But I didn't think that I would meet you so soon!

"That being the case, it's not bad to say it now! Anyway, it's all about talking about it sooner or later! You'll still know about it sooner or later. Sooner or later, I'll need to discuss this with you......

"Qiu Yueze, make your conditions!

"I promise you a request in exchange for your freedom!

"You ......"

Qiu Yueze's face had obviously turned blue compared to before, but he still controlled himself and tried to restrain himself from being angry with Gao Ran.

Although, he knew very well in his heart that Gao Ran would marry a husband sooner or later when he became an adult, and he never intended to prevent this from happening. -- What's more, under the pressure of the whole environment, even if he has the intention to stop it, he can only stop it for a while at most, but he has to pay a price that may be far beyond what he can bear for this "moment......

No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to truly compete with the laws that had been set to maintain the stability of the whole world!

If he did, he would be fighting not against the law, but against the common good of all people in the world!

For, as long as there is a precedent for him, then there will be people who will follow him one after another......

In the long run, what really harms is not only those groups or individuals who are not strong, but this large group of people!

Therefore, no country will allow such a precedent which sooner or later will seriously shake the very foundation of their country, the man!

Qiu Yueze might be able to compete with Yunxiang Kingdom and many smaller countries around it alone with the power of his Heavenly Pavilion, and still have the upper hand, but if all these countries unite and stand on the same front against Heavenly Pavilion, then it is not certain who loses and who wins......

In order to monopolize one person, it becomes a "precedent" for violating the taboo in the world, and then has to be the enemy of the whole world for this, and even ruin everything for this, and may even have to take his own life in the end!

-- No matter how you calculate this account, it's not a good deal!

Qiu Yueze understood this truth from the very beginning! Therefore, he had already made clear from the beginning that he would "never interfere in Gao Ran's future marriage" as a bystander.

Regarding the relationship between the two, he had already thought very clearly from the beginning: no matter how many husbands Gao Ran marries in the future, as long as she doesn't have them in her heart!

Therefore, after learning that she had made marriage contracts with Dong Tianyi, Yun Jie, and Fu Wenxuan one after another, Qiu Yueze had no intention of interfering - because he was sure that her marriage contract with them was definitely not made because of "love"!

But this time it's different!

Gao Ran not only admitted that she liked Gao Xi, but also specifically pointed out that their marriage contract was proposed by her on her own initiative! She even wanted to negotiate terms with him in exchange for Gao Xi's freedom!

She treats Gao Xi so specially, whether she herself notices it or not, but she has indeed stepped on the bottom line that Qiu Yueze will never tolerate!

"Ran'er, do you know what you're talking about?

"Do you know that if you talk to me about such a deal, it is tantamount to pushing the 'four' to death!"

After that, Qiu Yueze once again revealed his cold and ruthless side in front of Gao Ran after a long time - although it was only a little leak in his eyes, it was enough to make Gao Ran, who was already accustomed to his connivance, involuntarily feel instinctively vigilant!

It's been a long time since I've felt this way!

Gao Ran instantly remembered that once upon a time, when she and Qiu Yueze were not so "familiar" now, she also had a moment when she was shocked by the cold aura he unconsciously leaked......

It's just that that time, he accidentally leaked some, but he quickly put it away. But this time, he did it on purpose!

Gao Ran knew that Qiu Yueze did this to warn her to stop in moderation! Otherwise, she would not be able to do anything, but Gao Xi would definitely end up dying because of her!

Gao Ran realized that if this matter was to be negotiated, it would probably be much more difficult than she imagined! Moreover, she also underestimated Qiu Yueze's possessiveness for her......

In the past, she always thought that Qiu Yueze treated her specially, just because she was the only person in the world who was very similar to him, and the only person who understood him.

But between them, there is no love between men and women!

She always thought that what they saw in their eyes was just a projection of the "other self" they identified in their hearts on each other!

But she didn't think that Qiu Yueze was even more greedy than she had always thought!

Thinking about it from the heart, Gao Ran also admitted that when she had no choice to experience that loneliness in her previous life, when she had not really relied on her own strength to stand up alone, she also thought that if anyone could understand her and pull her when she needed companionship and hope the most, then she would definitely be willing to use her life to repay this "light"!-Because of its appearance, even if the brightness is very weak, it is enough to illuminate her whole world!

Therefore, when she had already survived the most difficult period alone, had learned and been accustomed to being with herself, and even deeply liked the feeling of being alone, she came to this other world because of an accident and met "another self" - Qiu Yueze, when she saw that he happened to be in a mental state very similar to the darkest period of her previous life, she instinctively felt that she could understand him!

She felt that she knew what he wanted most at this time, and she knew that what he wanted most was exactly what she could give!

Gao Ran admitted that the reason why she guided him like that at the beginning, and even gave him a promise that she would "never leave first", was actually almost no element for his sake!

She did so out of consideration for the greatest long-term benefit she could reap, and a desire to compensate for what she had lacked in her previous life, which was why she finally made that choice!

In the final analysis, even if it happened to touch the only softness in Qiu Yueze's heart, Gao Ran's motive was almost just for herself!-Altruism was just an inevitable consequence of the choice she made!

But obviously, Qiu Yueze didn't think so!

Or, even if he knew in his heart what kind of person Gao Ran was, and knew that the reason why she did that and made the promise he wanted to hear most to him was not for him, but that couldn't stop him from wishful thinking the moment he decided that she was the only person in the world who understood him, and regarded her as the only hope and the only light in his life!

That's why he treats her like himself!

No matter how much power he had, he let her enjoy the same power, if not superior to him, but no less than him—except for the ten personal guards who only obeyed him, the piece of jade he gave her could completely allow her to use all the power of the Heavenly Pavilion at will;

He didn't like to be bound, so he gave her no less freedom than he did—except to get out of his control.

Therefore, as long as her whereabouts can be known and detected by him at any time, then she can go wherever she wants!

Even if she gets married as an adult, it will still not hinder his way of getting along with her with a high degree of freedom.

However, Qiu Yueze's high degree of connivance with Gao Ran also has a bottom line! He will never allow her to hand over her heart to others!

Just as there is only her in his heart, her heart can only belong to him!—even if this possessiveness is not mixed with any male and female affection. But it does not prevent Qiu Yueze from setting it as a bottom line that will never be allowed to be crossed by Gao Ran!

And Gao Ran, it was only at this time that she really realized that her estimate of her weight and significance in Qiu Yueze's mind had been so different from the actual situation! And the development of the situation seemed to have deviated more and more from the direction she originally expected!

However, even so, it still can't be a reason for Gao Ran to compromise with Qiu Yueze!

After being warned by Qiu Yueze, the two confronted each other in silence without speaking. Each other has their own hearts.

Qiu Yueze hoped that Gao Ran would be able to compromise with him with interest, after all, he didn't want to kill Gao Xi because of her;

Gao Ran, on the other hand, took advantage of this short confrontation time to quickly adjust her mentality: she not only had to admit that she had misthought about the relationship between her and Qiu Yueze from the beginning, but she also had to reset her "new position" on this basis, and from here she went to rethink this matter and find a truly feasible solution!

Although for her, it was indeed an accident that she touched Qiu Yueze's bottom line. But from another angle, doesn't this just give her a chance to find out why Qiu Yueze set such a bottom line, what is he really afraid of in his heart? What does he really want to keep through this bottom line? !

Gao Ran felt that as long as she figured this out, then she would definitely be able to persuade Qiu Yueze to make concessions and agree to her request!

Of course, she is also ready to pay the corresponding price for this! And she believes that how difficult it is to get Qiu Yueze to agree to this matter, then the price she will have to pay for it in the future will most likely be great...... (To be continued.) )
