Chapter 765: Chapter 765: I Can’t Let You Replace Me
Zhixi was already highly tense, and this unexpected turn of events almost made her heart leap out of her throat!
She fiercely broke free, slamming the stall door shut and isolating the person on the other side!
“Miss Gu, it’s me!” A low and melodious female voice came from outside the stall. Updates are released by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Zhixi felt bewildered; the voice was eerily familiar…
Before she could figure it out, a name slipped out of her mouth, “Lu Qixi?”
“Correct,” the person responded.
Zhixi quickly pushed the stall door open, and seeing that it indeed was Lu Qixi, she was both exhilarated and incredulous, “What are you doing here?”
“Ning Yichen sent me. He’s tied up right now, but he knew you were in danger, so he called me.” Lu Qixi lowered her voice, looked around, and then slipped into the stall with her. “Miss Gu, we don’t have much time; let’s hurry and change clothes.”
“What?” Zhixi instantly understood her intention and firmly refused, “No! I can’t let you take my place!”
Lu Qixi smiled, “You don’t need to worry. The target is you, so as long as you get out safely, they won’t harm me, especially since my face is too recognizable; bystanders wouldn’t just stand by.”
“That may be true, but it’s still too dangerous. By doing this, you’re making an enemy of the Zhuo family,” Zhixi shook her head. “How will you continue your career in the music industry after this?”
“It would be better if I couldn’t continue…” Lu Qixi suddenly muttered to herself, then scoffed in self-ridicule, “Let’s not talk about trivial matters. Miss Gu, time is of the essence; if you stay inside too long, your bodyguards will for sure come looking for you.”
As she spoke, she had already begun unbuttoning her clothes.
“Qixi…” Zhixi still found it hard to accept.
Lu Qixi glanced at Zhixi’s abdomen, her smile turning complex, “You’re pregnant, aren’t you? If not for your sake, think of the baby.”
“Ning Yichen told me.”
“But I didn’t even tell him,” Zhixi was somewhat stunned.
A hint of dejection flitted across Lu Qixi’s face, “Then he must have figured it out. He’s like that; if he cares about someone, he knows everything; you can’t hide anything from him…”
“Qixi, Ning Yichen and I are just friends,” Zhixi felt compelled to clarify.
“Yes. I know; I’m just his friend too,” she said, already having taken off her coat, “Miss Gu, if you don’t change clothes now, I’ll lose a chance to have Ning Yichen owe me a favor!”
With that said, Zhixi bit her lip, “Alright, don’t worry; even if I leave this place, I won’t ignore you!”
Lu Qixi flashed a toothy smile.
After they switched clothes, Lu Qixi looked at her thick, slightly curly long hair and couldn’t help but say, “Miss Gu, your hair is too recognizable… I’m afraid I’ll have to cut it short.”
Zhixi touched her long hair, feeling a twinge of reluctance.
But now was not the time for such sentiments.
She clenched her teeth and nodded.
Ten minutes later, Zhixi stepped out of the stall, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She had to admire Lu Qixi’s masterful disguise skills.
After changing clothes and cutting her hair short, Lu Qixi also applied heavy makeup… She looked completely different from Miss Leslie before, and she doubted that Zhuo Han’s men would recognize her.
Zhixi stepped into her high heels, slightly lifted her chin, and walked out composedly.
