Although Gu Siting did not seem to welcome Ling Yan and her mother, he still asked them to stay at the Gu Family’s mansion for the time being.
He was busy with work at the company and he went out early every day. Sometimes, he would not be home for the night and even if he did come home, it would be at midnight.
Therefore, he wasn’t there to observe her actions.
This would make Ling Yan’s plan easier.
Instead of going to the cellar, she stayed and observed for two days.
However, when she did finally go to the cellar, she found that the crystal coffin where Gu Weiwei’s body was placed had been sealed. Although she could still see everything inside the coffin, she could not touch the Nine-Eyed Pearl.
She searched around the coffin for a long time but failed to open it. In the end, she realised that a special device had locked it.
Helpless, she could only wait until Gu Siting came home to ask him about it.
“Brother Siting, I visited Weiwei today, why is her coffin locked?” She asked in a seemingly casual tone, as she observed Gu Siting’s expression.
He had left the coffin in the cellar the whole time unlocked, but now it was locked. Could he have sensed something?
“I don’t want the Dorrans Family to take her away.” Gu Siting buried himself in his food and said straightforwardly, “Also, the owner of the Nine-Eyed Pearl is about to appear, nothing must happen to her.”
Ling Yan bit her lips and said sadly, “Then how should I open it? I want to see her.”
“You can still see her even if you don’t open it,” Gu Siting said and looked up at her. “And you better not go in there again.”
“Why?” Ling Yan asked.
“No reason. If there is nothing else, you can go back to the Ling Family as quickly as possible.” Gu Siting once again asked them to leave.
Since the master of the Nine-Eyed Pearl was coming, he did not want to be disturbed by anyone else.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Ji Fang tried to persuade him with a smile.
“Siting, Yanyan has been so busy with the promotional event that she has not been home for a long time. She came to the Gu Family because she wanted to see you. After all, you two are engaged and it is not right for you to be unable to see each other for such a long time.”
Could it be that because of the possibility of learning Gu Weiwei’s news, he had started to ignore Yanyan?
“If that is a problem, the engagement can be annulled,” Gu Siting said coldly.
“Brother Siting!” Ling Yan had not expected that he would propose to cancel the engagement.
Ji Fang was anxious too.
“Siting, everyone knows that you two are engaged and Yanyan was pregnant with your child. What are you going to do about her future?”
“The Gu Family will continue to provide you with excellent work and living conditions. As for that child, it was an accident,” Gu Siting said.
If he had not drunk too much and mistaken Ling Yan for Weiwei, he would not have had s*x with her.
Ling Yan’s hands that were holding the knife and fork shook. At that time, she knew that he and Gu Weiwei had a misunderstanding and conflict, and she also knew that he had drunk a lot that day, so she texted him to meet up with her.
He thought that he had slept with Gu Weiwei and got her pregnant with the child.
He had been hiding the truth from Gu Weiwei, and because Ling Yan was sick she aborted the child.
After that, he tried his best to treat her well and take care of her.
She had thought that even if he did not like Gu Weiwei that much, he still liked her.
In the end, it was just an attempt by him to move his feelings away from Gu Weiwei, but he still could not let her go.
Even if Gu Weiwei was dead, even if she was the one next to him, he would never forget her.
