“If I hear this from you again, this won’t be the only outcome.” Gu Man’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
She looked up at the two of them who were standing slightly violently and frowned. “What else do you want?”
“Sister, the family is very…” Gu Rou was halfway through her sentence when Zhong Yao pulled her sleeve and dragged her to the back.
Zhong Yao swallowed and said slowly,” No… Nothing.”
Gu Man stared at the two of them and quickly retracted her gaze. She continued walking forward.
“What did you mean by stopping me just now? Could it be that your heart is on Gu Man’s side?” Gu Rou’s face was filled with reluctance and she disliked Zhong Yao.
“Didn’t you see her gaze just now? Aren’t you just sending yourself to your death if you go over now?” Zhong Yao reprimanded, expecting better from her. She couldn’t care less.
Gu Rou was speechless. She opened her mouth but could not say a word, but she did not want to lower her head to Zhong Yao. She could only snort and say stubbornly, “You’re afraid, but I’m not.”
As she spoke, there were footsteps beside her. Gu Rou turned around and saw Zhang Yue’s face. She immediately smiled and waited for Zhang Yue to walk over. However, Zhang Yue only glanced at Gu Rou indifferently and walked past her.
Zhang Yue’s disregard instantly froze the expression on Gu Rou’s face. By the time Gu Rou completely reacted, Zhang Yue had already walked far away.
Zhang Yue looked at Gu Man, who was standing there, and gradually stopped in his tracks. When did she become an existence that even he could not cling to?
“Gu Man, I don’t know what kindness can make Old Master Cui give you the Ziwei Industry, but you have to know that there’s no such thing as free pie. There’s always a gain and a loss.” Zhang Yue came in front of Gu Man and looked at her face which was colder than the bright moon in the sky.
Gu Man was that unattainable immortal, and he was a lowly commoner who prayed for the love of the gods.
Zhang Yue threw this thought to the back of his mind and took this rare opportunity to stare at Gu Man’s side profile.
“Didn’t 1 make myself clear at the banquet? If you don’t understand what I mean by scram, I can explain it to you.” Gu Man took a step to the side and looked ahead.
However, Zhang Yue seemed to not understand her expression. He knew that Gu Man hated him, but he still leaned forward. However, before he could speak, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the side and pulled Gu Man into his arms.
“You can tell me whatever you want to say to my girlfriend. It’s the same.” Xiang Yin placed a hand on Gu Man’s shoulder. He was tall and stood beside the tall Gu Man. Their auras complemented each other, as if they were a match made in heaven.
This scene inexplicably pierced Zhang Yue’s heart. He couldn’t bear to see this scene. He retracted his gaze and subconsciously avoided it. “Gu Man, I hope you can listen to what I said just now. No matter what, we’re childhood sweethearts. I won’t harm you.”
Originally, Zhang Yue hated this identity the most, but now, he couldn’t help but want to say it. He wanted to tell Xiang Yin that he was Gu Man’s childhood sweetheart and not someone Xiang Yin could compare to.
He looked at the expression on Xiang Yin’s face expectantly, but unfortunately, he did not see any signs of jealousy or anger on Xiang Yin’s face. However, this made Zhang Yue even more certain that Xiang Yin was just playing. When he learned this news, Zhang Yue was inexplicably happy and the corners of his lips curled up.
“Childhood sweetheart? Zhang Yue, you’re really funny. Who are you avoiding at the banquet?” Gu Man shrank into Xiang Yin’s arms, her eyes filled with disdain.
“No, Manman…” As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Yue was stunned. He had almost forgotten how long it had been since he had shouted this name.
“Zhang Yue, Manman is not someone you can say.” The expression on Xiang Yin’s face instantly turned cold. His gaze locked onto Zhang Yue, revealing a wildness, as if he was about to tear him apart in the next second.
Zhang Yue naturally could not withstand such an oppressive gaze. He could only look at Gu Man. “Manman, don’t be jealous. You understand what happened back then. I had no choice but to protect Rou’er..”
