Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at this man who, despite smiling, sent shivers down her spine.
Without hesitation, she got into the car.
After closing the car door, the vehicle headed towards the road ahead.
Throughout the ride, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t speak.
Neither did Dongfang Yu.
Gu Qiaoqiao gazed intently at the driver in front, who was a stranger to her.
His face was also unfamiliar.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t be sure who this person really was.
It seemed as though a veil had been placed over her eyes.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought that surely it was this man’s doing.
It seemed like he had things he dreaded as well.
He wasn’t fearless after all.
At the very least, he had hidden the car’s license plate number...
And he had concealed the driver’s face.
Indeed, he wasn’t invulnerable.
Yes, it seemed like there is no one in the world who is invincible.
Everyone has weaknesses.
No matter whether one is an immortal or a mere mortal...
Although Gu Qiaoqiao inadvertently came to know these things, she didn’t show it and continued to sit silently in the back of the car.
The White Cat looked at Gu Qiaoqiao affectionately.
Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head and glared at the White Cat.
The White Cat hurriedly bowed its head, lying on its master’s lap, no longer looking at Gu Qiaoqiao.
The little girl must be angry because it had been a tattletale yesterday.
After all, she had been a bit nicer to it these past few days.
Even though she hadn’t petted it.
But, she no longer seemed to want to kick it away with one foot.
Yet after last night’s event, everything had gone back to square one.
The White Cat was a bit disheartened at this time.
So it stopped looking at Gu Qiaoqiao and appeared somewhat listless.
Dongfang Yu remained motionless, looking ahead, his thoughts unknown.
This state of his was reminiscent of the first time she had seen him on the train.
His thoughts seemed to have wandered away from his body.
She just didn’t know if attacking him now would have any chance of success.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand clenched and then slowly relaxed.
She couldn’t take the risk without full confidence.
At this moment, Dongfang Yu seemed to have sensed Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts.
Or perhaps he had simply glanced at her casually.
Afterwards, he slightly closed his eyes, no longer looking ahead...
Amidst these undercurrents,
The car stopped at a place in the bustling city center.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked ahead; it was a high-end residential district she had never visited, but she had been to the nearby market for fun.
She hadn’t expected Dongfang Yu to live amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
Was this what they called "hiding in plain sight"?
Then, Gu Qiaoqiao followed Dongfang Yu out of the car.
And stood at the entrance of the district.
Dongfang Yu turned around and smiled faintly at Gu Qiaoqiao, "little girl, aren’t you afraid that once you’re at my place, I’ll confine you and never let you out?"
Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow slightly and said indifferently, "Do you think that’s necessary?"
Dongfang Yu blinked, surprisingly nodding in agreement.
It indeed seems unnecessary.
If he wanted to do something, he would have done it already, so why wait till today...
After all, coming and going is quite troublesome.
Thus, Dongfang Yu no longer continued the pointless conversation.
With a slight smile, Dongfang Yu led Gu Qiaoqiao toward his private passage.
Unfortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t understand the Qimen Dunjia or Eight Trigrams Array before her eyes.
She only found the route Dongfang Yu was taking a bit odd.
