Gu Qiaoqiao remained silent.
Dongfang Yu had meant his words in jest, but he hadn’t expected Gu Qiaoqiao to ignore him completely, without any response, which made him feel awkward.
This little girl really didn’t know how to make conversation.
A frown creased Dongfang Yu’s brow, barely perceptible.
For a moment, he felt listless and also felt the pain from the spot where Qin Yize had struck his ribs intensifying.
He needed to go back and treat his injuries.
Did this icy, snowy weather, coupled with the cold and pain, aim to take his life?
Dongfang Yu turned and walked away, leaving behind the words, "Continue doing what you want to do now, then you’ll know what I want..."
And as his voice faded, the White Cat chased after him.
As it passed Gu Qiaoqiao, the cat paused in its steps.
Looking up at Gu Qiaoqiao, it meowed appealingly a few times.
Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao cracked a sardonic smile.
Crouching down, she looked at the fluffy White Cat and said softly, "Do you like me very much and enjoy staying by my side?"
The White Cat hadn’t expected Gu Qiaoqiao to speak to it with a smiling face.
For a moment, it felt flattered.
The White Cat naturally understood Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, and it nodded hurriedly. Then it meowed excitedly a few more times.
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out her hand and was about to place it on the White Cat’s back.
The White Cat’s purple eyes couldn’t help but shine brightly.
Then, it lay down in the snow.
Waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to stroke its fur.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand touched the little White Cat, she quickly withdrew it, stood up, and laughed coldly, "You and that Dongfang Yu are birds of a feather. Scram, or else I’ll break your tail."
The little eyes of the White Cat, previously awaiting affection, suddenly displayed alarm.
How could this beautiful girl turn her face so quickly?
How could it be birds of a feather with Dongfang Yu?
It had no interest in the things Dongfang Yu wanted.
However, upon reflection, it indeed had its own agenda with Gu Qiaoqiao.
It liked Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers; it hoped that she would help it clear its meridians.
To return to being the White Tiger.
But now, it seems that Gu Qiaoqiao despised it just like she despised its master.
Hmph, it was all because of that guy, her master.
The White Cat hesitated and didn’t leave.
Gu Qiaoqiao pretended to kick, and the White Cat, scared, tumbled several times on the ground before fleeing in a panic.
Gu Qiaoqiao followed the direction they’d gone.
Then she saw Dongfang Yu standing in front of a black car.
Apparently waiting for the White Cat.
He then saw Gu Qiaoqiao as well.
Dongfang Yu waved at Gu Qiaoqiao, flashing a faint smile.
He then picked up the little White Cat and entered the car.
Gu Qiaoqiao strained to see the car’s license plate, but unfortunately, it seemed as if the license plate number had been magically erased, leaving nothing.
Gu Qiaoqiao leaned weakly against a wall.
It was in this moment that she realized all of her strength seemed to have been drained.
Her hand slowly moved to the area over her heart.
In her previous life, after leaving Qin Yize, she believed her love for him had dissipated along with the ruin of her family.
To her last moment, she had hated him.
Reborn, she thought constantly of leaving Qin Yize.
Yet, unexpectedly, she stumbled upon a secret that she would never have known in her former life.
What she never could have imagined was that her most revered mentor was Qin Yize’s comrade-in-arms.
