“Lingche…”

From the front came the rich woman’s fed up voice. At that instant, Su Lingche’s lips trembled.

He retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and walked into the villa under Gu Qingjiu’s complicated gaze.

She got a kick out of seeing him end up like this, and at the same time found it laughable.

“What are you looking at?”

A cold and deep voice suddenly rang beside her.

Gu Qingjiu, who then remembered that Helian Niancheng was standing next to her, looked up at him.

Standing with his back facing the light, there was a dark and solemn vibe in his pupils, causing the surrounding air to turn chilly suddenly and also bringing about a sheepish feeling in Gu Qingjiu.

“Nothing…”

She was just too shocked to see Su Lingche.

But she hadn’t noticed that the person beside her might develop certain ideas about her reaction.

Everyone instantly sensed that something wasn’t quite right.

Helian Niancheng was green in the face, making the director break out in a cold sweat.

He wondered if he had somehow offended this big boss.

It was clear that they couldn’t carry on with the villa viewing. Helian Niancheng merely stared at Gu Qingjiu and said, halting with every word, “Who is he?”

It was his intuition as a man speaking.

Helian Niancheng could immediately feel that Gu Qingjiu treated that man differently from others, that the fluctuation in her emotions was excessive.

It was the first time Helian Niancheng felt a conflicted feeling in his heart.

That was an uncomfortable sensation that he had never felt before.

Lips trembling, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t possibly tell Helian Niancheng that he was her first love in her previous lifetime, so she merely said, “We met a few times. I don’t know him…”

Her voice was slightly lower than usual, and one wouldn’t be able to tell if she was lying or something.

Helian Niancheng’s countenance turned yet colder. He turned his head, and his expression froze like ice once more. “Joker, let’s go back first.”

The director wore a meek look on his face, clearly realizing that the couple was in conflict.

Not daring to speak excessively, he merely respectfully said, “Mr. He, please go home safely.”

Nonetheless, as Helian Niancheng left, he pulled Gu Qingjiu’s hand.

Gu Qingjiu felt her heart thumping wildly. She could sense that this time, Helian Niancheng was incredibly furious.

She had revealed her emotions earlier. With his keen observation skills, he must have detected something.

But she didn’t dare to tell him the truth.

Also, she was astounded to see Su Lingche appear here as a kept man.

She had imagined hundreds, thousands of scenarios of Su Lingche’s outcomes, but she never expected him to end up in this state.

On the way back, both she and Helian Niancheng kept silent.

The atmosphere was tense.

Like a tightly strung string, whoever first spoke could cause this uneasy atmosphere to explode.

Seated in the back row, Gu Qingjiu’s hands balled into fists nervously.

The oppressed feeling in her heart reached her throat, eager to vent.

Time and time again, she suppressed it back down with her rationality.

She couldn’t tell him that. Who knew what consequences it would cause if she did?

They arrived at the hotel amid such an atmosphere. Gu Qingjiu could feel that although he was angry, there was a gentleness in how he held her hand. It was just that there was now a hint of sternness added to it.

His icy face deterred others from getting near him.

Only when they got back to their hotel room did Helian Niancheng let go of her hand.

He stood before the French windows, gazing downwards at the city scenery outside.

However, his figure exuded loneliness and coldness.

Gu Qingjiu slowly walked to the center of the living room and sat down on the sofa. Biting her lips, she slowly spoke, “Chief Instructor, I really don’t know him and have merely met him a few times. I was just a tad shocked to see him with that woman earlier…”
