Chapter 973 She will blame herself
Although Qi Xuan wasn't as reserved as Gu Panzi when facing her, he still felt somewhat embarrassed when he thought about what he had done in the past.
"I happened to have arranged to have drinks with Junhuai and the others today."
Gu Panzi nodded, unsure whether she should tell him that Xia Youxin was also there.
Although she didn't know much about the current grudges between the two of them, she knew that Xia Youxin had always been very important to Qi Xuan.
"oh……"
An awkward silence fell over the room, and Qi Xuan didn't know what to say.
He looked Gu Panzi up and down; she seemed a little different from her usual style.
"You look great in this outfit."
Being praised by other men didn't make her particularly happy, but being praised by Qi Xuan still made her heart flutter.
"Really? Wan'er dressed me up like this..."
She actually wanted to say that Xia Youxin had dressed her up, but when she got to the point of saying it, she suddenly swallowed it back.
She wasn't clear about their current situation, nor did she know Xia Youxin's attitude towards Qi Xuan.
Upon hearing Xia Youxin's name, Qi Xuan suddenly felt an urge to go find her, fearing that he might upset her and make her feel guilty.
He had heard more or less about Gu Panzi's current involvement in helping Tang Wan'er at the Tang Group.
He didn't connect the dots to Xia Youxin, simply assuming they were there for a social engagement or just wanted to relax.
"Did you come with Wan'er?"
Gu Panzi nodded, but didn't dare to meet his gaze, keeping her eyes fixed on her toes.
When she's nervous, she likes to play with the stray hairs by her ear. She's never been good at talking in front of Qi Xuan, and they've had a lot of awkward moments before, so she doesn't know how to face him now.
Xia Youxin just wanted to use the restroom, and then she suddenly realized that Gu Panzi was missing. She thought she might be in the bathroom, so she came over to look for her.
Although it's relatively safer inside the Emperor Hotel, unlike the chaotic bars outside where all sorts of people gather.
But this is a bar after all, and some people might do something bad to Gu Panzi if they drink too much.
Both she and Tang Wan'er were somewhat worried about Gu Panzi.

When they discovered that Shen Kun had also disappeared, the two had no choice but to split up and search for him.
As Xia Youxin walked down the corridor, she saw two familiar figures.
When she first found Gu Panzi, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she was alright, otherwise her conscience would have been tormented.
But when she saw Qi Xuan, her heart still clenched.
She didn't want to face him at all; her heart was filled with too many complicated emotions.
Moreover, if the two of them were standing together, she really couldn't possibly not misunderstand them at all.
She could trust that Gu Panzi wouldn't do anything to Qi Xuan, but as for Qi Xuan... it was really hard to say.
Since their divorce, he has been involved in numerous scandals, including a past relationship with Gu Panzi.
He might still have those kinds of feelings for Gu Panzi.
A philandering man will never be able to settle down and behave himself, no matter how long he is in his life.
Qi Xuan seemed to sense a strange gaze, raised his head, and met Xia Youxin's gaze.
When he saw Xia Youxin, his eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
