Chapter Summary
Gu Weimian keenly caught the gaze of Butler Lin and looked back calmly. Gu Weiman walked over naturally and prepared to sit next to Gu Yuzhu. She suddenly remembered what Huo Yan had said to her in another parallel world: she never trusted him.
Gu Weimian keenly caught the gaze of Butler Lin and looked back calmly.
The two looked at each other and then looked away.
Gu Weimian frowned slightly.
Being surrounded by too many cunning people is troublesome.
She restrained her emotions.
Regardless of all that, anyway…she doesn’t want much time.
As long as we don't get discovered before everything is over.
Gu Yuzhu had already taken a seat as arranged by the servants.
Gu Weiman walked over naturally and prepared to sit next to Gu Yuzhu.
A young maid came up and blocked her way.
"You can't sit here."
Gu Weimian was stunned and glanced at the little maid.
The maid's eyelashes trembled, and she mustered up the courage to timidly say,
"Only Mr. and Miss Gu can sit here. Please wait aside and eat with us later."
Gu Weimian raised his eyebrows.
Before she could speak, the tall figure of a man came into view.
The man who originally had black hair now had snow-white hair.
Walking slowly towards the restaurant.
Gu Weiman's heart suddenly tightened.
Did she fail in the end that day?
Her prolonged gaze was keenly caught by the man, who looked towards Gu Weiman with a serious gaze.
Seeing her, the man looked calm, obviously he had known she would appear here.
He strolled over to the main seat and sat down.
The maid standing next to Gu Weimian quietly pulled Gu Weimian, her expression becoming anxious and worried.
"Let's go!"
Gu Weimian finally came back to his senses.
The whole thing happened so fast that she didn't even have time to figure out the cause and effect of the whole thing.
She was curious about a question.
Why did Huo Yan's hair turn white?
Did he know from the beginning that this ritual would cost him this?
And is the price just that her hair turns gray, or are there other prices that she doesn't know about?
Before seeing Huo Yan, she could still comfort herself that perhaps the ceremony could not continue at all.
But after seeing the man, she deeply felt the harm that this ritual caused to the man himself.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers.
She suddenly remembered what Huo Yan had said to her in another parallel world: she never trusted him.
After being betrayed by Ao Qijun and realizing that her relationship of more than ten years was nothing but a joke, she no longer believed in love and dared not expect anything from it.
Actually...it's really her problem.
She never dared to turn her back to Huo Yan, always emphasized equal exchange, and always pursued the ultimate factual basis.
It’s just because, in her eyes, Huo Yan has always been just a partner.
Rather than family.
She refused to acknowledge it and didn't want to respond.
Maintain the relationship between two people in this mutually beneficial and win-win business cooperation model.
But I'm afraid of getting hurt...
She stepped aside.
It wasn't because the maid stopped her, but because she needed some quiet time.
At a time like this, sitting at the same table with Huo Yan, it was difficult for her to control herself from revealing any flaws.
She needs some time to calm down.
Seeing this, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this person is not so ignorant.
Most of my face is wrapped in gauze, and I look like a mummy when I get up. What should I do if my husband loses his appetite when we eat together?
She turned around and glanced at Gu Yuzhu.
Gu Yuzhu picked up the napkin prepared on the table, as if she didn't notice Gu Weiman's departure.
