You seem to know quite a lot about the Yu family as well.

He Nianchengs plain sentence caused alarms to ring in Gu Qingjius head.

She knew that she shouldnt feel this way about He Niancheng.

But a rebirth was too big a secret. She didnt dare to tell anyone about it.

These things should be buried deep in her heart and not known to anyone else for her whole life.

If she were to reply ambiguously, He Niancheng would be able to tell. Hence, she chose not to speak at all.

He Nianchengs question seemed casual. Gu Qingjiu didnt reply so he did not continue to probe as well.

He simply said, The Yu family probably cant do much to you now.

As if he was just speaking of an old truth.

Gu Qingjiu nodded and mumbled, I know.

But for the sickly son of the Li family to die so soon, she still had to take some time to digest that information.

The Li familys sons death was probably a blessing for the Yu family.

If that was so, why was the Yu family still looking for her?

Yu Shiwei was free. Moreover, why would the Li family after losing a son help the Yu family?

Tan Yalans phone call seemed to be lacking some information.

But because of Tan Yalans shamelessness, Gu Qingjiu did not wish to talk to her again.

The reason why you chose to enter the army initially was because of the Yu family?

He Niancheng suddenly sat down and gazed deeply at Gu Qingjiu.

Words were stuck in Gu Qingjius throat.

She didnt know how to explain to He Niancheng.

She couldnt lie to him either.

Before the streams were decided, your plan was still to major in computer science. Yet a day before that, you changed your mind and joined the army

He didnt complete his sentence but his words sounded like he had sensed something, and that caused Gu Qingjiu to pale visibly.

Chief Instructor, please dont continue!

Her only fear was for others to know about her rebirth.

But how else could she explain that she knew so much about the Yu family?

Her nervous expression caused He Nianchengs gaze to lock onto her.

His eyes were probing and there were many emotions that she couldnt distinguish.

A moment later, he seemed to sigh lightly and walked over to her. He held Gu Qingjius hands and suddenly embraced her. I will wait for the day when youre willing to tell me.

Gu Qingjiu leaned into his embrace. His words caused her gaze to tremble a little.

The warmth in her palm was hot unlike usual. He Nianchengs body temperature was unlike his personality.

Leaning into his embrace, she could feel his hard chest and the thumping of his heart.

He had a natural and refreshing smell. There was such an instance when Gu Qingjiu felt that she would be at peace as long as she stayed in his embrace.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before.

A sense of security so strong.

Unlike that of staying in the Yu family, in a jail where she had to live every day in trepidation.

Only

Was heavens meaning behind her rebirth to meet this man rather than for the unjust she felt in her heart?

The office was silentso silent she could clearly hear each others heartbeats.

The embrace that engulfed her was so heartwarming that it made one sentimentally attached.

But it seemed that people who spoiled the scenery existed everywhere.

Heavy footsteps were heard from the door. Gu Qingjiu froze in shock as she struggled to get out of He Nianchengs embrace.

But he pressed her tightly to himself, glaring unhappily at the entrance.

Huo Yingcheng stood there speechlessly feeling as if he was going blind in both eyes.
