This reason is somewhat inhumane.

However, Ji Qinglin heard a hint of unnaturalness behind these words.

She felt that Gu Beisheng was not sincere in what he said. He was such a gentle person, but why did he have to pretend to be aloof?

"By the way, how did you know I was in Chanson Bar?" Ji Qinglin asked curiously.

Gu Beisheng had already thought of an excuse. "I came back from overtime and since it was on my way, I thought I'd pick you up and take you home. Then, I heard you and Fang Shiyu went to the Chanson Bar, so I went over there."

"When we got to the bar, I heard Ouyang Feihong took two women to the VIP room. I asked around and found out it was you, so I went over there."

This was said very naturally, and it was both true and false.

Ji Qinglin also thought it was reasonable, so he didn't doubt it, and even felt that Gu Beisheng cared about him a lot.

"what!!"

Suddenly, Ji Qinglin exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Gu Beisheng frowned, startled by the exclamation.

"Shiyu is still at the bar."

Gu Beisheng was speechless, so he said, "Don't worry. She's safe and has returned home."

Hearing that Fang Shiyu was safe, Ji Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up his phone again and happened to see the message from Fang Shiyu saying that everything was fine. Only then did he feel relieved.

However, she couldn't help but worry, "Gu Beisheng, you've offended Ouyang Feihong now. What should we do? The Ouyang family is extremely powerful. We can't even surpass them."

"Fang Shiyu will find a way."

Gu Beisheng has already passed the blame to Fang Shiyu.

Just now, Gu Beisheng and Fang Shiyu reached an agreement.

As long as Fang Shiyu is willing to keep the secret for him, he will help Fang Shiyu achieve freedom of marriage.

Even though Fang Shiyu is the eldest daughter of the Fang family, as a girl, she can't escape the fate of a business marriage. And the reason why Fang Shiyu is so crazy outside is to enjoy her own time before being locked up in the cage.

Now that Gu Beisheng can help her achieve freedom in marriage, she is naturally very happy.

However, Fang Shiyu has a question that she wants to clarify.

"Mr. Gu, why can't you confess to Xiao Ji? I think she would be very surprised to know your identity, right?"

"Given Ji Qinglin's personality, what do you think will happen once he finds out my identity?" Gu Beisheng asked back.

Fang Shiyu was slightly startled, then thought of Ji Qinglin's experience with Ouyang Feihong. She was somewhat disgusted with these wealthy noblemen. If Ji Qinglin knew that Gu Beisheng was the head of one of the four major families and the ruler of the Gu family, he would probably think he was playing with her feelings, and the two of them would never see each other again.

"So, you like Xiao Ji?" Fang Shiyu changed the subject, catching Gu Beisheng off guard.

Gu Beisheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I just don't want to ruin this one-year contract marriage."

"Is that really the case?" Fang Shiyu narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe that this was Gu Beisheng's true thoughts. However, Gu Beisheng had always been aloof from strangers and had an inexplicable sense of alienation towards women. How could he suddenly be attracted to Ji Qinglin?

Gu Beisheng didn't want to say more. "In short, you help me keep the secret, and when the time is right, you can cover up my lies. I will ensure that you have freedom of marriage and will no longer be a tool for the family to form a marriage alliance."

"Okay!" Fang Shiyu agreed readily.

Hey, Xiao Ji! It's not that I want to be an accomplice, it's just that Mr. Gu offered too much and I couldn't refuse.
