Gu Zhiqi walked around her room and eventually found a cellphone in a drawer, but it was out of battery. She found a charger and had just started charging the phone when the Chubby Chiu in her mind spoke up.
"Zhizhi, don’t forget that Gu Huaijin still has the evil spirit on him."
Hearing Chubby Chiu’s reminder, Gu Zhiqi also remembered, and threw the phone onto the bedside table, getting up.
Although Gu Zhiqi had placed a hand seal on Gu Huaijin at the airport, the effect of that seal was about to expire.
If she was any later, Gu Huaijin’s beloved would be killed by him.
Outside the Gu Family’s main hall on the balcony, after finishing a phone call, Gu Huaijin realized that Gu Yuluo and Gu Zhiqi were no longer in the living room.
Still feeling a sense of unreality, he took out his cellphone from his pocket and made another call.
Soon, the call was answered.
"Mr. Tang, hello, this is Gu Huaijin, Qiqi’s older brother." As soon as the call connected, Gu Huaijin spoke with a cool courtesy.
"Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?" A gentle and refined voice came from the receiver, and it was not difficult to discern that it was Tang Shuan on the line.
"It’s about Qiqi, I wanted to ask you something."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shuan on the other end had a rough idea of what Gu Huaijin wanted to ask.
To be honest, he himself was also confused. Until now, he didn’t understand why Little junior sister had returned early.
"Please speak, Mr. Gu."
"I remember, Mr. Tang, when you sent Qiqi back, you said she would return after three years, but now, she seems to have come back early." In Gu Huaijin’s normally stern tone, a rare trace of worry could be detected.
Although she had temporarily come back, no one knew if one day, she would suddenly leave again.
Back then, the little girl was gone for only two months, and when she returned, she had changed into a different person.
No one knew what had happened to the little girl, nor why she had left. Tang Shuan didn’t explain, only leaving behind the promise that she would return after three years before departing.
Listening to Gu Huaijin, Tang Shuan fell silent.
For a moment, he really didn’t know how to answer Gu Huaijin’s question.
"I’m aware that Little junior sister has come back, but I also don’t know why," Tang Shuan finally spoke with some difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin fell silent.
Tang Shuan also remained quiet, both saying nothing.
After a while, Tang Shuan said, "How about this, Mr. Gu, I will be going to a place in a couple of days where someone should know why. Wait for my news."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin’s worry did not subside but intensified, "Then I shall trouble you, Mr. Tang."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaijin exhaled a breath of stale air and stuffed the phone back into his pocket, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
He took out a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and then fished out a lighter.
A flame leaped from the lighter, but before it could reach the end of the cigarette, Gu Huaijin glimpsed a familiar figure.
The action of lighting the cigarette was abruptly halted.
After a few seconds, he flicked off the lighter’s flame, removed the cigarette from his mouth, and then asked the girl leaning against the balcony door watching him, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Since you mentioned coming back early," Gu Zhiqi replied to Gu Huaijin very calmly and straightforwardly.
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Huaijin spoke, "So, you’ve guessed then?"
She didn’t know what he was asking about exactly, but she had indeed guessed something.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin’s handsome brows quirked almost imperceptibly, "What are your thoughts?"
"You need to get your fortune told right now."
Are my thoughts that I need my fortune told?
