Gu Cheng seemed surprised by my decisive refusal. He paused for a moment before his smile vanished, replaced by a coldness.
I stopped in my tracks.
Just look at him.
To my slight disappointment, after looking at me for a moment, Gu Cheng smiled again and said, "Since you are unwilling, I will not force you."
"But if you ever come to your senses, you can come find me anytime."
"I think you'll figure it out soon."
"Really?" I smiled.
I could actually sense that he was threatening me.
If I were to be so easily frightened in this second life, then I wouldn't be myself.
This time, Gu Cheng didn't answer me. He just got up and walked outside. I was too lazy to stay here, so I followed him out. Gu Lianyi and the others were outside, but Gu Lianyi looked rather unwell.
Seeing Gu Cheng and me come out, Gu Lianyi immediately ran towards me, asking worriedly, "Xu Ruo, did my dad do anything to you?"
I shook my head and smiled, "No."
"We talked about some things."
Hearing me say that, Gu Lianyi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then took my hand and whispered, "Then let's go."
"Are you leaving already?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
As agreed at the beginning, I was supposed to accompany her to the family dinner.
Gu Lianyi nodded and said, "There's nothing good to stay here."
"What needed to be said has been said."
"let's go."
"Okay." I didn't ask any more questions and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Gu Cheng suddenly spoke up: "Tianfang, see them off."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianfang smiled and said, "Okay."
He responded and then looked at Gu Lianyi, "Lianyi, let me see you off."
At the same time, he gave me a provocative look.
I just felt completely baffled.
What was Gu Cheng up to with this move?
Should I make Wang Tianfang the third wheel between me and Gu Lianyi?
still……
I looked at Gu Cheng. At this moment, Gu Cheng still had a faint smile on his face, seemingly gentle, but I could feel that his gaze was filled with an indescribable feeling.
To be honest...
It is the hunter's gaze.
He seemed to see me as prey.
This feeling made me very uncomfortable. Thinking of this, I immediately put my arm around Gu Lianyi's waist and said calmly, "No need, we can go back by ourselves."
"Young Master Wang, if you enjoy being a third wheel so much, Qixi Festival is in a few days. You can go outside for a walk and maybe you can light up the whole world."
“You…” Wang Tianfang’s face immediately turned cold, and Gu Lianyi couldn’t help but laugh.
Without saying anything more, I put my arm around Gu Lianyi and whispered, "Let's go."
"Since you don't like it here."
"Come to my place."
"good……"
Gu Lianyi's ears seemed to turn red.
Wang Tianfang's face also turned extremely grim.
Just as he was about to lash out, Gu Cheng, as if he hadn't noticed our relationship, said calmly, "Since that's the case, then let it go."
"Tianfang, go help your aunt, and while you're at it, see if the Xu family has arrived yet."
"If they haven't arrived yet, let them know again."
"Just say that I have a gift to give them."
"Fine." Wang Tianfang took a deep breath, gave me a cold look, then snorted and turned to leave.
I couldn't be bothered to talk to him, but Gu Cheng's words gave me a bad feeling.
The Xu family?
Feeling annoyed and not wanting to stay any longer, I took Gu Lianyi and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Gu Nianci suddenly came to me again.
