Once Gong Jue entered, the originally spacious Chu clan’s pharmacy immediately seemed especially cramped.
The man’s tall and powerful figure and cold and domineering aura exerted an irresistible pressure on everyone present.
Even a figure like Chu Junmo felt his breathing slow down despite it being on his own territory.
Gong Jue walked straight in and stopped in front of Gu Qiqi.
Under his thick eyelashes, his dark gaze was like a black hole in the universe that ruthlessly sucked Gu Qiqi’s big eyes that were filled with stars. He was also like an angry lion that raised its sharp claws and couldn’t wait to drag Gu Qiqi into his grasp!
“I heard that someone wants to marry you? Hmm?”
His voice was clearly low and pleasant to the ears, but Gu Qiqi could hear the hidden anger and killing intent in it!
Oh no. Why was that stupid man here?
Her beautiful eyes glanced over and saw Bai Lang gloating outside the window. Gu Qiqi rolled her eyes at Bai Lang in annoyance. It’s you again!
I’ll take care of you later!
Gong Jue, this living King of Hell, actually came up at this critical moment. It was really difficult to handle.
More than half of the rich madams from the noble families in the Imperial Capital were gathered here. There were also countless gossip reporters. If Gong Jue revealed a little bit of their relationship, Gu Qiqi’s name would probably fly everywhere tomorrow morning. Her and Gong Jue’s gossip would be known by everyone.
How was she going to have a good life in the future?
She even had to wear sunglasses when she went out!
Furthermore, the Gong family might become a formidable enemy.
Gu Qiqi’s small head quickly calculated and came to the conclusion that she had to stop Gong Jue from flipping out on the spot at all costs.
Her small heart beat rapidly as she put on a particularly admiring and polite smile. She said in an exaggerated and especially admiring tone,
“The legendary Master Jue is also here to support Lan Ting. He’s really close to the people, haha. Even Master Jue is concerned about the matter of this commoner girl breaking off the engagement. The legendary technological overlord loves the people as his children. It’s really not a rumor! Anyway, this commoner girl definitely won’t marry that kind of scoundrel. The noblewomen and big reporters present today can act as witnesses for this commoner girl! Master Jue, don’t worry. With your tall and powerful presence, I believe that those scoundrels definitely won’t dare to not end the engagement for this commoner girl! Don’t you think so?”
Gu Qiqi struck first. The words “those scoundrels” made Mu Liuchuan and his mother’s expressions turn ugly in an instant.
She kept calling herself a commoner girl and saying that Master Jue loved the people like his son. The noblewomen and reporters couldn’t help but laugh. Oh, Young Lady Qiqi, you withdrew your claws quite quickly in front of Master Jue. It turned out that the domineering Young Lady Qiqi also knew how to concede in front of the living King of Hell and seek protection! Oh, it was human nature. It was understandable!
But Chu Junmo’s expression was a little complicated.
Others might not know, but he knew. Gu Qiqi and Gong Jue clearly knew each other long ago, but Qiqi deliberately pretended not to know each other in front of everyone.
Did she not consider being with Gong Jue yet? Or did these two people have some secret chemistry?
Either way, it might be good news for him.
Thus, Chu Junmo remained calm and didn’t say anything.
After Gu Qiqi finished speaking, her heart beat rapidly as she observed Gong Jue’s expression nervously.
When Gong Jue heard the words “tall and powerful”, his eyebrows twitched.
She knew that she had done the right thing!
Tsk. That stupid man liked it when she said that he was powerful, right?
He liked people who praised him!
