Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684: Gu Zi’s Husband

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi remained as beautiful as when he had last seen her, perhaps even more so. He couldn’t help but recall his childhood, when like many other boys in his class, he had developed a secret crush on her the moment she transferred to their school. He had even dreamt of marrying her when they grew up.

However, unlike the other boys who expressed their feelings inappropriately, Wu Hao couldn’t bring himself to tease Gu Zi, even if it meant gaining her attention. He didn’t act on his feelings, instead, he silently watched over her. It wasn’t until they became desk mates that he found a natural way to strike up conversations with her through their studies.

If Gu Zi had married Gong Zhan, he would have accepted it. But now, Gu Zi was married to another man, not Gong Zhan.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao’s heart stirred back to life. Perhaps he still had a chance. But Gu Zi’s repeated rejections made him face the harsh reality. He felt he couldn’t compete with Gong Zhan, nor with Gu Zi’s current husband.

But why? He had heard that Gu Zi’s current husband was a rural man, twice divorced, with three children, much older than Gu Zi, without status or position, and without a formal job.

In Wu Hao’s mind, the image of Gu Zi’s husband was set. He was an old, ordinary man from the countryside, without a stable job.

Countless times, in the middle of the night, he asked God how such a man could be worthy of the beautiful and outstanding Gu Zi.

He hoped that Gu Zi was not living well now. He prayed for God to give him another chance to help her.

Now the opportunity was right in front of him. And he hadn’t seen Gu Zi for many years. He had so much to say to her.

As he saw her about to leave, he instinctively blurted out, “Little Zi, can I invite you for some afternoon tea? I want to know about your current situation. If there’s anything you need, I can help.”

Upon hearing this familiar address, Gu Zi frowned uncomfortably, about to refuse.
