In contrast, Hua Xiaoxiao was unusually calm at this moment. She looked at Mo Shang and said calmly, "After we arrive in the Central City, we will split into two groups to search for Xiao Li. I hope your method will be useful."
"Don't worry, it will definitely work!" Mo Shang smiled gently at Hua Xiaoxiao, and patted her hand. "I'll marry you when we get back!"
Hua Xiaoxiao silently withdrew her hand, looked directly at Mo Shang, and said coldly, "No need, I already have someone I like."
Mo Shang was stunned, his hand frozen in mid-air as he stared blankly at Hua Xiaoxiao, his emotions somewhat out of control. "Hua Xiaoxiao, isn't the person you like me?"
Hua Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I used to, but now... I think I've fallen for Xiaoli!"
Even without his sweet words, Hua Xiaoxiao fell in love with Gu Liyan's beautiful face, gentle smile, and his fearless figure.
When Hua Xiaoxiao's words reached Mo Shang and Zi Xin's ears, their expressions changed.
A fierce expression
A puzzled and serious expression appeared on his face.
Mo Shang's chest heaved, his anger barely contained. He was about to become incredibly wealthy, but his proposal was rejected by the woman he loved, the woman who loved him. The reason? She had fallen in love with his benefactor, a mute!
A mute man with no status or position, not even qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Mo Shang, how could he compete with him? Yet, Hua Xiaoxiao in front of him said she had fallen in love with this mute man! How could he remain calm? How could he not be furious!
Hua Xiaoxiao spoke up without fear of Mo Shang's accusations. She looked at Mo Shang coldly and said, "It's not that I'm fickle. After Xiao Li took me away when you rejected me, I made up my mind. Although I felt wronged and unwilling, I still wanted to confirm one last time whether I really cared about you."
"But I've discovered that I didn't actually like you; I just believed in our predestined relationship beforehand! If Master hadn't said our marriage was perfect, I wouldn't have so quickly offered myself to your Mo family." Hua Xiaoxiao said calmly, "So, it's better if we make things clear."
Mo Shang's face was grim as he coldly ordered, "Stop the car!"
The car came to a sudden stop. Mo Shang glared at Hua Xiaoxiao and said, "Hua Xiaoxiao, think it through. Do you like me or not?"
Hua Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "I used to like it, but I don't like it now!"
Mo Shang clenched his fists and looked coldly at Hua Xiaoxiao. "Get out! Get out of my car!"
Hua Xiaoxiao bowed slightly and stepped down from the carriage. Zixin followed her down as well.
The two stepped aside, watching the carriage disappear into the distance. Suddenly, Zixin spoke up, "Actually, actually... I've calculated your and Xiaoli's facial features, your destiny..."
"You don't need to say anything more." Hua Xiaoxiao interrupted Zi Xin, and what she said next was astonishing—
"I know everything! It's just that it started but didn't end, had a cause but no effect... it was a matter of being destined to meet but not to be together!"
—Noon
The carriage stopped in front of the Triumph Restaurant near the central city gate.
Du Xiu knew that Gu Liyan was already asleep, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him. Instead, he looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he covered his face and sneaked into the restaurant.
"Hello, welcome to Triumph Restaurant..."
As soon as they entered, the receptionist at the door spoke in a crisp, sweet voice, but upon seeing that the visitor was Du Xiu, her smile froze. She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Du Xiu to a corner, saying, "You fatso, how dare you come back! Do you know that Young Master Murong is still after you!"
Duxiu looked around and said, "Xiuxiu, don't worry, I haven't been discovered. This time I brought back a very important person, and he will protect me!"
"Pah! A big shot, huh? You think you're some kind of feng shui master with powerful connections? You're a complete fraud!" Xiuxiu glared at Duxiu and said irritably.
Du Xiu scratched his head and, without offering any further explanation, asked directly, "That esteemed person has a special status; are there any best rooms available?"
Hearing Duxiu's words, Xiuxiu glared and said, "The best ones are all gone, there are only two woodsheds left, do you want them?"
"Big sister! My dear aunt! Please help me out, considering we had a one-night stand! That man is in a bad mood, we have to take good care of him! I can stay in the woodshed, but we can't let him stay there!"
Xiuxiu glared at Duxiu, "Number Three in the Heavenly Ranking!"
Du Xiu's eyes lit up immediately, and she chuckled, "I knew you still had feelings for me, Xiu Xiu!"
Xiuxiu glared at Duxiu, snorted coldly, and left without saying anything more, wiggling her hips.
After booking the room, Du Xiucai went to call Gu Liyan, "My lord, the room has been booked. Let's go to the room to rest."
Du Xiu spoke loudly, as if afraid that the passersby around him wouldn't hear him. Gu Liyan, who was in the carriage, naturally heard Du Xiu's voice outside the carriage. He immediately sat up, took out his mask, put it on, and then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw passersby pointing at him with curious expressions. Gu Liyan was a little puzzled: He was wearing a mask, so why was he still attracting so much attention?
Is it because I'm too handsome?
Du Xiu was startled when he saw Gu Liyan walking down wearing a mask. He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, wearing a mask in the Central City is an act of contempt for everyone. You..."
Gu Liyan frowned, noticing the fierce look in the eyes of the surrounding crowd that had shifted from curiosity. He then spoke nonchalantly, "So what if it represents contempt?"
Du Xiu looked at Gu Liyan with a sense of fear, but it was only for a moment. He felt more awe and joy. The more powerful Gu Liyan was in the central city, the more he could ensure his safety.
