After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Chapter 561 I Won’t Bother You

Gu Xiu's face was cold and there was no surprise in his eyes. He had known for a long time that he and Gu Mingzhe looked similar, but when he heard Zhang Wanting say that they had such a close relationship, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

"Actually, I have a guess..." Zhang Wanting said, unconsciously shaking her coffee. "In recent years, the country has been researching parallel universes. If Dayong is one of those parallel universes, then could Gu Mingzhe be the same person as you?"

Gu Xiu raised his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then his eyes suddenly widened as if he suddenly realized something.

"What about you, you and your image from the past..." Gu Xiu asked.

Zhang Wanting nodded. "That's what I looked like when I was sixteen."

Zhang Wanting is twenty-one years old this year, and Zhong Ning is twenty-two, but when they traveled to Dayong, they were only twenty-eight years old, and that body was indeed from Dayong.

Gu Xiu clutched his palms tightly, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light flowing in his eyes.

If, if this is the understanding, then it can also explain why he and Gu Mingzhe look exactly the same.

Because that is basically him.

Myself in a parallel universe.

So, he has been jealous of himself all along?

Although he found it a little funny, Gu Xiu still felt a little inexplicably resentful that Zhong Ning treated him as a substitute for Gu Mingzhe.

Even if it was him, it wouldn't work!

There is also a concubine. Zhong Ning once said that she met Qi Yu, and Qi Yu once said that he wanted to be her concubine.

Of course he knew the word "mianshou".

After all, there were many princesses in history who openly kept male favorites.

But he still wanted to make sure.

"I want to know, if she is really the princess of the current dynasty, does she have a lover?" Gu Xiu asked casually.

Zhang Wanting's body suddenly stiffened.

How should she answer this question?

Zhang Wanting bit her lip slightly, her eyes wandering. Just as Gu Zheng was about to ask for confirmation, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Mr. Gu, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly!"

It’s Zhong Ning!

After she had packed up at home, she rushed to the villa area without stopping. Since she had verified her identity before, she was able to enter easily.

And under the instructions of the housekeeper, she rushed all the way to the coffee shop in the villa area and revealed her identity as Zhang Wanting's personal bodyguard. Naturally, the coffee shop would not refuse her entry.

Who knew that she would hear this as soon as she came in!

When she returned home in the morning, she suddenly realized that after she blacked out from drinking yesterday, she might really have been tricked by Gu Xiu.

As expected, all the doubts in her heart were confirmed at this moment.

Zhong Ning pulled out a chair and sat down, his back straight and his expression solemn. Just by sitting like that, Zhang Wanting felt a surge of pressure.

Zhang Wanting had seen Zhong Ning's expression like this before, so at this moment, when Zhong Ning suddenly appeared in front of her, she instinctively felt a sense of oppression from the royal aura.

"Aning..." Zhang Wanting wanted to explain, but Zhong Ning raised his right hand, signaling her to shut up. He looked only at Gu Xiu across from him, his voice slightly cold, with a hint of chill: "If Mr. Gu has any questions, why not come and ask in person!"

Gu Xiu was captivated by Zhong Ning's frank and honest gaze, and his eyes dimmed unconsciously. After a long moment, he spoke, "I want to know, who is Qi Yu?"

"The Emperor wields his sharp sword, the commander of the Black Dragon Guard! He is also the person I once loved..."

"It's not just him. Ying Jibo Shen Yan, my childhood sweetheart, has done me a favor. I have a secret crush on him and the ambiguity continues."

"There's also the Prime Minister's legitimate son, Gu Mingzhe, who has been personally betrothed by the Emperor. He's the current top scholar in the imperial examination and will be my consort..."

Zhong Ning's eyes were indifferent, without any hesitation.

"Oh my god, Black Dragon Guard Master Si Qiyu, Aning, you're too awesome! He's a ruthless character. I heard countless corrupt officials fell into his hands. I never thought such a powerful figure would be your lover!"

Zhang Wanting's eyes lit up as she said to Zhong Ning, "I thought Zhou Ge was the third person you were talking about, but it turned out to be Qi Yu!"

"Zhou Ge is too young, I can't do it!" Zhong Ning spoke calmly and explained to Zhang Wanting.

Then, she looked at Gu Xiu again, her voice as cold as ever: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, although I am sentimental, I am not promiscuous, and I won't throw myself at everyone I like."

"You and Gu Mingzhe look very similar. Although I was confused at first, I now know very well that you are different people. I will not treat you the same way."

"You don't have to worry about me pestering you. Back in the modern era, I know myself well and will never embarrass Mr. Gu."

"If Mr. Gu still has concerns, I can consider moving to another city and not bother you again in the future."

"However, I hope Mr. Gu will not easily disclose what I said today. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what the consequences will be!"

Zhong Ning spoke slowly but with hidden threats in his voice. Zhang Wanting sat there stunned, watching Gu Xiu sitting opposite her. After hearing what he said, his face turned extremely pale and his eyes were so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Gu Xiu took a deep breath and finally managed to suppress the depression that was rising from the bottom of his heart.

He clenched his fists, his expression icy. Seeing the atmosphere about to become stagnant again, he could only suppress all his anger and explained to Zhong Ning: "I didn't mean that. I just want an answer!"

"What answer do you want? I can answer you right now!"

"You did say a lot last night. I was shocked by what you said, so I wanted to get confirmation from Wanting." Gu Xiu pursed his lips, with a hint of bitterness in his expression. Even though he tried hard to hide it, he couldn't help it when Zhong Ning admitted that she had traveled through time and had been with so many men.

His eyes were slightly red, and unconsciously a little moist. Gu Xiu lowered his head and suddenly felt like a despicable thief.

I desperately want to pry into the secrets of the person I like, but after being discovered, I feel wronged and confused unconsciously.

This was an emotional experience he had never had before, so he took the opportunity of looking away to try his best to hold back the tears.

He is not Gu Mingzhe.

What qualifications do you have to question here?

What's more, from what Zhong Ning said, Gu Mingzhe didn't seem to object.

This is what puzzled Gu Xiu the most.

He couldn't understand why any man would be willing to share a woman with other men.

Love is selfish.

He is of such a noble status.

How could he be so self-degrading?

Ask yourself, he can't do it.

Just hearing that Zhong Ning had had so many outstanding men in her heart made him so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Not to mention, Zhong Ning didn't seem to have any intention of being with him.

Even though they had been hugging each other intimately just a moment ago.
