“Why?” At this moment, Xiang Yin calmed down. He could feel the difference in Gu Man’s treatment of him.
He naturally believed that Gu Man did not do as she pleased when the two of them confirmed their relationship back then, so something must have happened to make Gu Man make such a choice.
However, he really could not understand what had happened to make Gu Man’s attitude change so drastically. He even vaguely felt like she wanted to cut ties with him.
At the thought of this, Xiang Yin’s heart could not help but ache. It was as if a pair of large hands were grabbing his heart, not giving him a chance to breathe.
Faced with Xiang Yin’s question, Gu Man, who had always been glib-tongued, did not know what to say.
She lowered her eyes and answered Xiang Yin’s question silently.
However, what Xiang Yin wanted was not Gu Man’s silence at all. He wanted an accurate answer, an answer as to why Gu Man’s attitude had changed so much in such a short period of time.
Therefore, he did not relent. Instead, he was especially obsessed with this answer.
“We’re not from the same world. Even if we continue to get along, there won’t be any good outcome in the end.” Gu Man clearly didn’t expect Xiang Yin to ask so much. She didn’t know how to answer and could only blurt out the truth.
She looked at Xiang Yin’s expression and couldn’t bear to. “But I’ll do my job during this period of time.”
This was not only Gu Man’s responsibility to Xiang Yin, but she also wanted to be greedy for this relationship and give herself more time to wave goodbye to Xiang Yin.
She comforted herself like this, so what she did next became reasonable.
She reached out and held Xiang Yin’s large hands tightly, as if she wanted to prove something.
Xiang Yin lowered his head and looked at his hands without saying anything. However, the smile on his lips made one’s heart ache.
“I understand,” Xiang Yin suddenly said, but he still did not retract his hand. Perhaps he was also greedy for that bit of warmth.
He knew that Gu Man must have something difficult to say to him, that’s why she said such things to him. However, he believed that sincerity was the key. As long as he persevered, he would definitely have a chance in the future. freew(e)bnovel.com
Xiang Yin also relaxed a lot. He smiled at Gu Man and focused on driving.
When Gu Man saw the smile on Xiang Yin’s lips, she felt inexplicably guilty. She lowered her head and had many things on her mind.
Xiang Yin stopped the car at the entrance of the district. It was mainly because Gu Man did not want the Gu family to see Xiang Yin. If they saw him, they might even hold this matter against her. Gu Man was looking for trouble for the Gu family, not for them to find trouble for her.
Gu Man pushed open the car door and got out. Just as she took a step or two, she suddenly wanted to turn around and look. She had indeed done so.
She realized that Xiang Yin, who was sitting in the car, was staring at her back. Even when he met her gaze when she turned around, he did not avoid her guiltily.
Seeing that deep gaze, Gu Man was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and forced herself to turn her head away. Her footsteps became firmer and firmer.
But only she knew how bad her mood was now.
When a person was in a bad mood, they would be very unhappy with anything around them.
As soon as Gu Man returned, Gu Yuan looked at her coldly. “You don’t even know how to go home every day. You ran away halfway through the banquet and didn’t even report where you went when you went out. I think you don’t treat this house as your home at all!”
If it were any other day, Gu Man would probably just ignore him. However, she was in a very bad mood now. When she heard this, she stood rooted to the ground and crossed her arms as she sized Gu Yuan up.
Her lips curled into an extremely mocking smile. “Do you think 1 don’t know what you’re thinking? You know very well whether the banquet is to expand your connections or a treacherous plot. You can even do such a thing as selling your daughter.. Are you really not guilty that someone will lie in your bed in the middle of the night and ask for an explanation?”
