After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Qian drove to Martha's college.

Qin Yichen returned to his car, his gaze sharp as he looked at Gu Yunzhen: "Tell me, what happened just now? How do you know Sasha?"

Gu Yunzhen didn't hide anything from him: "Martha is the daughter of Jonah Buson, the lord of Tianlong Fortress."

One sentence left Qin Yichen completely stunned.

Qin Yichen knew almost everything he needed to know about what happened between his older brother and Gu Si during those six months.

But Martha, he had never heard them mention her.

They seemed to be deliberately avoiding women.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhen added, "Heng and I almost died at sea, and she saved us."

Qin Yichen's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito: "You and my older brother have never said this!"

"It's all in the past," Gu Yunzhen said succinctly.

He wouldn't have spoken out now if he hadn't met the person involved.

Just because you came back alive, does that mean it's all in the past?

It must have been extremely dangerous at the time, otherwise he and his older brother wouldn't have kept it a secret.

Qin Yichen sighed and asked him, "So what do you think Sasha's reaction means? I feel like she wants to break up with me because of you."

In the end, Qin Yichen looked at Gu Yunzhen accusingly.

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

If Martha harbors resentment towards him, then Heng Ge will not escape it either.

"She probably hasn't met Heng-ge yet."

It may sound shameless, but that's the truth, and there's no point in running away from it.

Qin Yichen slumped back in his chair, looking utterly dejected.

What should he do now?

Breaking up is out of the question. What he needs to do is convince Martha that he is willing to wait, no matter how long it takes.

We arrived at Xizhou Grand Hotel at exactly six o'clock.

Gu Yunzhen took a black leather bag from Gu Shiyi and got out of the car, which attracted Qin Yichen's attention.

"Is that a gift for meeting you?"

As soon as he asked, Qin Yichen knew it wasn't true, otherwise Gu Si would have given it to Masha earlier.

It can't be given to Rongrong, since the two of them have already met.

Gu Yunzhen shook her head: "No."

Qin Yichen asked curiously, "What is that?"

Gu Yunzhen stroked the black leather bag twice like a precious treasure: "You'll find out soon enough."

Qin Yichen became increasingly curious, after all, it was the first time he had ever seen Gu Si carry a bag when he went out.

The two walked into the grand restaurant together.

The private room had been booked in advance, so they went straight there.

Ji Mingjing and Rongrong had already arrived.

When they entered, Ji Mingjing saw that Qin San was alone. She raised an eyebrow at him, as if to ask: Where is your girlfriend?

Qin Yichen said, "She's not feeling well and is resting in her dorm."

Okay, there's nothing I can do about it due to health reasons.

But now Qin San and Gu Si are both alone.

Never mind, Ji Mingjing's lips curled into a smug smile: "Let's get to know each other again. Rongrong is my girlfriend now."
