"Plans?" Gu Qingze also changed his mind quickly. When he heard Chu Lingxiao asking him, he immediately turned back to the previous topic. However, when he looked at him, his eyes were full of confusion.
Chu Lingxiao looked at his puzzled look after hearing that, and suddenly became even more angry.
"It's just about how to place them. Since Qingze was the one who rescued them, he should at least be responsible to the end. He can't always trouble Brother Jinnian, right? That would be too bad."
"With Qingze's personality, I'm afraid he wouldn't do such an irresponsible thing."
Gu Qingze suddenly realized, "So this is what Ling Xiao meant by 'plan'."
"What else does Qingze think it is?"
"...Nothing." Gu Qingze shook his head and continued to answer the questions raised by Ling Xiao.
"Didn't I tell Ling Xiao before? When we go back, we'll settle Ye Li in the Gu family. Once her cognition has mostly recovered, we'll have the housekeeper arrange some light work for her. She'll have no problem supporting herself for the rest of her life."
Chu Lingxiao thought about it and realized that Qingze had indeed said that, so he nodded and continued to ask.
"What about Tilbury? She's still dreaming of living with you."
Gu Qingze was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Lingxiao suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "And she likes you."
When Gu Qingze heard this, his pupils shrank instantly and he looked at Chu Lingxiao, who was already a little further away, in disbelief.
"How...how is this possible?"
"How is this impossible? Qingze doesn't believe in my ability, but I personally felt it. When she mentioned you, the love she showed was so strong that it almost overflowed."
"So... now you know why I was so upset when I heard you wanted to meet her?"
What responded to Chu Lingxiao was Gu Qingze's even longer silence.
Gu Qingze naturally believed Ling Xiao's words, and he had also vaguely sensed something was wrong when he was interacting with Chenluo in Hualou before, but now that it was confirmed, it was still too hard to accept.
"Is Qingze scared silly?" Chu Lingxiao waved his hands in front of him. Seeing that Qingze did not respond, he felt even more depressed.
"Qingze told me before that he made a new friend in the brothel, and I felt something was wrong. Now I see that it really is..."
"Speaking of which, I've been away from you for a while, and you've already got another suitor. Qingze is really charming. I guess I'll have to keep a tighter tie and keep a close eye on you from now on."
"Ling Xiao, I'm feeling upset, please stop teasing me." Gu Qingze just came back to his senses and his tone became sullen.
"That's right." Chu Lingxiao looked at him and nodded to himself.
"Qingze is the most upset person right now. After all, you still have to think about how to face Jinluo... or just find an excuse not to face her?"
"But I know Qingze is not that kind of person. As a responsible man, you will definitely see things through to the end."
"Will it have a beginning and an end?" Gu Qingze murmured softly, then smiled bitterly.
"Ling Xiao thinks too highly of me, doesn't he? According to Ling Xiao's standards, as a responsible man, should I explain the whole story of how I entered the brothel and reject her love?"
"Hmm...it's not impossible." Chu Lingxiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "As long as you can figure out how to deal with it."
"But then again, Chiluo likes the identity you forged, that is, the sister Linglan she calls herself. I don't see any trace of lying in her tone, which means she has always thought you were a woman."
"And even if she thinks you're a woman, she doesn't consider this feeling as friendship, but as that kind of emotion. Does that mean she likes women?"
"Not necessarily... maybe she's just too lonely in the brothel, and because I'm nice to her, she might mistake this dependence for love."
Gu Qingze heard this and retorted weakly, even though his guesses and analyses of emotions were never very accurate.
"But no matter what that feeling is, at least in Tilbury's eyes, it's love."
Chu Lingxiao heard his response, gave a reassuring smile, and asked curiously.
"But...has Qingze figured out how to face Tsunayo?"
"Will it be the face of Lily of the Valley, or your true face? Or should I first use the face of Lily of the Valley, then restore your original face, and give her a devastating blow, completely giving up?"
Looking at Chu Lingxiao's eyes that seemed to be "looking for trouble", Gu Qingze smiled helplessly.
"Sometimes, not telling her the truth and creating a beautiful but regretful story for her is also a kind of tenderness."
Chu Lingxiao understood the meaning of his words and knew that he was not going to tell Chenluo the truth. He faced her as Linglan and made up a relatively good ending.
He was stunned for a moment and jokingly said, "Is this another big truth made up by Qingze himself?"
"What do you mean by a big truth I made up?"
Gu Qingze glanced at him dissatisfiedly, then spoke seriously.
"Even if we tell the truth, given the current situation, we certainly can't tell the whole story. It's better not to tell it. Besides, with things like this, the less you know, the safer it is, isn't it?"
Chu Lingxiao looked at him and said, "Okay, Qingze has managed to convince me, but since it was you who caused this affair, you will be fully responsible for this matter and give her an explanation."
As he spoke, he patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder and added meaningfully.
