Xue Fanxin and Bai Wuchen discussed the payment in front of everyone without minding them. They only cared about their business.
Hai Lan saw all of this. She noticed that Bai Wuchen’s attitude towards Xue Fanxin was excellent and he did not look disgusted at all. This made her puzzled and angry.
Almost everyone in the Mystic World knew that Bai Wuchen had serious mysophobia. Anyone who wanted to see him had to take a bath and change.
But now, Bai Wuchen was actually willing to let Xue Fanxin approach him. This was unprecedented.
Why was that?
Hai Lan looked at Xue Fanxin with an increasingly unfriendly gaze. It was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred as if her lover had been snatched away. She gritted her teeth, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her ruthless expression made it seem like she could rush out and kill someone at any moment.
While everyone’s gazes were on Xue Fanxin and Bai Wuchen, Gu Jinyuan paid attention to Hai Lan. When he saw her reveal that terrifying expression, his heart softened, and he could not help but remind her, “If you want to leave alive, you’d best not act recklessly.”
Hai Lan snapped back to her senses. When she thought about how she had almost rushed out and attacked Xue Fanxin, she felt a lingering fear. She breathed rapidly, still nervous.
If she had really acted on impulse, the outcome would have been death. Fortunately, Gu Jinyuan had reminded her in time.
Since Gu Jinyuan had reminded her, it meant that he still had feelings for her. Nonetheless, she would never marry him. Even if he restored his status as the Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, she would still not be interested.
The person she, Hai Lan, wanted to marry must be a man with an important position in the Mystic Realm like Bai Wuchen, not a small fry in the Tongxuan Realm.
“Gu Jinyuan, no matter what, I’ll never marry you. Although you’re a famous figure in the Tongxuan Realm, you are confined to this place. You should understand what I mean.”
Gu Jinyuan knew that Hai Lan had misunderstood him, but he did not care. He sneered and said, “Think whatever you want. I’ve already done my best. What happens next has nothing to do with me.”
Hai Lan wanted to see Gu Jinyuan beg her bitterly, but the outcome was different, greatly displeasing her. Bai Wuchen ignoring her made her even angrier, but she had nowhere to vent. Coincidentally, Gu Jinyuan bumped into her, so she turned her spearhead to her. “Gu Jinyuan, if you kowtow to me, I might change my mind and help you return to the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company. I might even get you your position back as the Young Master.”
“Have fun by yourself. I won’t accompany you anymore.” Gu Jinyuan could not be bothered to waste his breath on her. He knew very well why Hai Lan was doing this. Leaving behind a sentence, he left her to her devices.
“Stop right there.” In a rage, Hai Lan threw out a whip at him.
Xue Fanxin was chatting with Bai Wuchen when she heard the commotion. She wanted Gu Jinyuan to deal with his affair, but unexpectedly, Hai Lan started fighting.
“You’re courting death.”
