Gu Lian also said to him, "Before I met you, Zhu Ying sent someone to give me a message."
"What message?" Gu Xici asked.
Gu Lian looked at Gu Xici's anxious eyes and understood Gu Xici's feelings for Zhu Ying.
But Gu Lian still had to speak.
He said, "Zhu Ying only said one thing. She said that whatever she does has nothing to do with you or me; it's all what she wants to do alone."
Gu Xici's eyes instantly filled with blood.
He avoided his father's scrutiny, and his fingers resting on his legs trembled slightly.
Gu Lian might have noticed Gu Xici's emotional breakdown.
Staring at Gu Xici's uncontrollably trembling hand, he said, "Zhu Ying is worried that you might get yourself hurt for her; you are her only concern."
Gu Xici hung his head, starting a long silence.
Gu Lian also finally got up from the sofa opposite, picked up his coat placed nearby, and left quietly without saying a word.
As soon as Gu Lian stepped out of Gu Xici's residence.
