Chapter 426 The Playboy's Divorced Woman 22
"Only you can help with this; no one else can really help," Cai Kun said, his face full of pleading.
"No, how could I do such a thing? I have a legal wife." Gu Shenbai's first thought upon hearing Cai Kun's words was to refuse.
“I know, but you can directly take Xiaoyue as a concubine. This won’t affect anything. Just like when you brought that courtesan home before, it’s reasonable for you to do such a thing.” Cai Kun tried to persuade Gu Shenbai.
"For the sake of our friendship over the years, please see if you can help. Xiaoyue is threatening to commit suicide when she gets home. I really have no other choice." Cai Kun covered his face, seemingly trying to hide his embarrassment.
If he had forced him, Gu Shenbai would have lost his temper long ago.
However, even if Gu Shenbai couldn't agree to his request, he would still feel guilty towards him for using this method.
"If it really doesn't work, my mother will absolutely not allow me to take a concubine from a respectable family, especially not by forcibly taking someone else's marriage." Gu Shenbai shook his head and still refused.
"I apologize for disturbing you." Cai Kun took several steps back before quickly leaving.
Gu Shenbai refused Cai Kun's request, but feeling uneasy, he unknowingly walked back to Xie Qingyu's courtyard.
Xie Qingyu was about to finish her meal.
Seeing him come in looking dejected, I knew he hadn't eaten, so I had someone serve him a fresh meal.
He didn't say anything, and Xie Qingyu didn't ask either, but just stayed by his side at the table.
Gu Shenbai had no appetite at this moment and glanced up at Xie Qingyu.
"What's wrong?" Xie Qingyu asked after noticing his gaze.
Unexpectedly, when she asked him casually, Gu Shenbai told her everything, revealing Cai Kunlai's purpose and also mentioning that he had already refused her request.
"So, are you backing out now?" Xie Qingyu asked.
"Of course not, I just feel a little sorry for Brother Cai. I said I would definitely help if I could."
Can you help with this now?
Gu Shenbai nodded in agreement with Xie Qingyu's words, then shook his head.
He could help with Cai Kun's request, but there was one favor he definitely couldn't do.
"Anyway, the divorce papers have already been signed. If you want to expedite it, that's fine too. I'll need at most two days," Xie Qingyu said bluntly.
“It has nothing to do with this,” Gu Shenbai immediately retorted.
"Then don't act like that. I didn't block her way. It's just that you didn't want to help, which means his request for help is unreasonable. He's using such unreasonable requests to ask you for help, so why do you feel guilty for refusing him?" Xie Qingyu retorted.
Gu Shenbai paused for a moment, then his mind seemed to clear up a bit.
He should have known clearly that he couldn't agree to this, and that the whole thing was abnormal to begin with.
But for some reason, his most immediate reaction was guilt.
He felt guilty for not agreeing to something he should have easily agreed to.
Xie Qingyu looked at the conflicted expression on his face and didn't say anything more.
"It seems so." Gu Shenbai finally said this after a long pause, but his expression was still not very good.
"Let's not talk about that. I'll still take you out today," Gu Shenbai said.
"If you really feel it's not right, and you're worried about hurting your relationship with Cai Kun, you can go over and explain. If you really have no reason, just say it's because I'm unwilling," Xie Qingyu concluded.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shenbai stopped eating.
"This won't work!"
