Lan Qingcheng saw Su Qianxun much earlier on, and deliberately clung to Long Sijue. She pretended to put on a shy and delicate expression while she happily talked to Long Sijue.
Gu Mian looked at Su Qianxun whose gaze was fixed on Long Sijue and Lan Qingcheng. She worriedly tugged atSu Qianxun’s hand. Su Qianxun suddenly came back to her senses. Long Sijue looked over in her direction the moment she turned around.
“Let’s go hail a cab up ahead so that we can take a walk while we’re at it.” Su Qianxun could not stand running into the two of them. She dragged Gu Mian’s hand and walked forward.
Gu Mian looked at her. Then she took a quick glance at Long Sijue and Lan Qingcheng. She noticed that Long Sijue was fixing his gaze on Su Qianxun. The two girls left the area in front of the hotel
The two women walked all the way to a fountain. Su Qianxun took a break over there for a moment. She found a spot and sat down. Gu Mian noticed what was going on, so she sat down right beside Su Qianxun. The two women looked up as they stared at the bright moon hanging in the sky.
The two of them did not say a single word. They just zoned out as they looked at the round and bright moon. Their minds were occupied with their personal issues.
A few minutes later, Gu Mian turned and took a quick glance at the young woman beside her who had remained silent all the while. She could sense that the woman was very unhappy at the moment. Gu Mian asked, “Qianxun, have you fallen in love with Su Qianxun?”
Gu Mian was convinced that Su Qianxun had fallen for that man. Perhaps Su Qianxun had yet to know about that. So, she wanted to make Su Qianxun aware of it to prevent her from doing something that she would regret in the future.
“How could I fall for him? You’re thinking too much. I only got together with him because I wanted to save my brother!”
Gu Mian merely looked at her…
“And also, things are a lot easier when I’m together with him. He can solve many of my problems… Don’t look at me like that. I will truly never fall for him!”
Su Qianxun’s voice was getting softer and softer as she continued to speak. She bit her lip at the end and her eyes seemed a little swollen.
Only until that very moment did Qianxun realized that she might have probably fallen for that man, at least a little bit. But how could she admit that?
He had a fiancee who was beautiful and was from a rich family. But how about herself? The family company was taken over and her family was broken. The only family member she had left with her was an ill younger brother. She was basically nothing. The young woman felt a sense of bitterness in her chest at the thought of this.
Su Qianxun and Gu Mian took a cab and left the place. The expression of the man who stood no further than a hundred meters from the spot where the two women waited for the cab was ice cold.
At that very moment, there was a strong sense of discomfort in his heart, and he could feel the metallic stench of blood in his throat. So, it seemed that she did not like him at all. She was merely staying together with him because he was useful to her!
Long Sijue suddenly turned around and let out a thunderous roar, as if he had gone mad. He mercilessly struck his fist on a white stone pillar beside him. That stone pillar fell as soon as the bang was heard. He spat out a mouthful of blood as well…
Su Qianxun who was already seated in the cab suddenly had an ominous feeling. She raised her eyebrows as she had no idea what was going on.
Could something have happened to her younger brother? Aunt Zhang had just called her to inform that there was something odd about her younger brother’s mood.
Su Qianxun was occupied with the thought of Long Sijue and Lan Qingcheng being together. She decided to go home tonight.
Gu Mian was absolutely unsettled. She also had no idea if Tang Zui would return. She truly did not want to go back to that apartment.
So, when Gu Mian realized that Su Qianxin was thinking of going home, she quickly said, “Qianxun, I’ll stay over at your place tonight.”
Gu Mian knew that Tang Zu treated Su Qianxun extremely well. So, if she stayed at Qianxun’s house, he would not say anything about it. All Gu Mian wanted to do was to escape him for as long as she probably could, and one night was more than enough…
