Clearly, he didn't think the same in his heart.
But seeing Gu Qixiao protecting Zhang Yaoyue like this, he truly had no recourse.
He could only leave helplessly for now.
On the way downstairs, when he saw Zhang Yaoyue leaning so casually against Ji Yu, he felt a twinge of frustration, lamenting her failure to seize such a good opportunity.
However, Zhang Yaoyue couldn't care less about him and simply turned her back on him.
Ji Yu, observing the sibling pair in this state, found it somewhat funny.
"Your brother's already gone. Are you really planning to keep going on like this?"
"Once I've become an old spinster, I suppose they'll stop pressuring me to get married. They're not completely irrational," Zhang Yaoyue said, utterly disillusioned with her family.
Ji Yu saw her like this but refrained from offering any opinion.
In the end, they would reconcile; it was just a matter of when.
