As soon as Gu Jingchun spoke, the other party shouted back.

"stop."

Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow slightly and saw Shen Hechuan slowly walk out from the crowd.

Upon seeing Gu Jingchun, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart remained pounding with anxiety.

He walked to Gu Jingchun's side, about to take her hand and comfort her, when Gu Jingchun coldly asked, "Have you found Xi'er?"

Shen Hechuan shook his head.

Gu Jingchun immediately turned his head and said, "Then let's search together, and hurry up."

She immediately stepped forward without even glancing at Shen Hechuan.

His eyes and brows were filled with aloofness, a look that Shen Hechuan had never seen before.

Behind her were dozens of people.

They were either tall or had unique characteristics.

However, he bowed slightly to Gu Jingchun, and his every move was respectful and submissive.

Although Shen Hechuan had always known that Gu Jingchun was the person in charge of Tianjing Trading Company, this was the first time he had seen her with her entourage.

Such decisiveness and composure, coupled with the disdain of someone in a superior position, made Shen Hechuan uncontrollably fascinated.

In that instant, he truly understood what Gu Jingchun meant when he said he didn't want to be trapped in the deep palace.

He watched Gu Jingchun's retreating figure and immediately followed after him.

The forest was dense and difficult to traverse, but Gu Jingchun walked ahead with light steps and showed no signs of discomfort.

But Shen Hechuan was still a little worried about Gu Jingchun, so he stepped forward and walked over to her, wanting to comfort her.
