Restaurant:
Bai Lu could only watch Gu Jinchen directly holding Qin Jiuxi's small hand as they left, without even a glance her way.
Bai Lu felt a myriad of unpleasant emotions inside, bottling up various forms of discomfort.
But there was nothing she could do, so she had to let it go.
She was infuriated.
Am I...not as pretty as Qin Jiuxi?
The only difference between me and Qin Jiuxi is my background.
My background is not as good as hers.
She has become Gu Jinchen's darling.
While I am nothing.
...
Leaving the restaurant, Qin Jiuxi couldn't help but reach out her small hand to loop around Gu Jinchen's arm, then tilted her head, and curiously asked, "Well… Brother Jinchen… Do you know that I dislike her?"
She was obviously referring to Bai Lu.
People live up to their names.
White Lotus.
Gu Jinchen's thin lips moved slightly, a subtle nod followed.
"Hmm."
Qin Jiuxi's liking for someone could never escape his perceptive eyes.
