He was the prince regent who had the power to rule the court. Unless he was willing, he did not have to do such a small thing himself.
At the thought of this, Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes and waited quietly for Rong Zhan’s answer.
Rong Zhan’s eyes were fixed on Gu Qingxue, and he fell into deep thought.
Finally, under Gu Qingxue’s expectant gaze, Rong Zhan said, “It’s just a coincidence. ”
Hearing this perfunctory answer, Gu Qingxue suddenly felt a little unhappy. She raised her hand and patted Rong Zhan, saying unhappily, “Put me down.”
Rong Zhan had yet to send Gu Qingxue back. He lowered his eyes and saw the little person in his arms looking displeased. He couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
Why did she get angry again?
With that thought, Rong Zhan jumped down from the roof and let go of Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue quickly backed away and put some distance between her and Rong
Zhan. She bowed and said, “Thank you for saving me today, Your Royal
Highness. I won’t trouble Your Royal Highness with the rest of the matters. I can go back on my own.”
Without giving Rong Zhan a chance to speak, Gu Qingxue turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at Gu Qingxue’s back as she left, Rong Zhan fell into deep thought. He had no idea what he had done to provoke her.
Thinking of what Gu Qingxue had just experienced, Rong Zhan frowned but still followed her.
Gu Qingxue also noticed that Rong Zhan was following her, but she did not say a word, pretending that she could not feel his presence. Her footsteps became faster and faster.
They walked all the way to the Gu residence. Gu Qingxue did not turn back to look at Rong Zhan even when she stepped through the main door.
Looking at Gu Qingxue’s back view as she strode away, Rong Zhan stood on the spot with an indifferent expression and fell into deep thought.
On the other side. Liu Yi walked over quickly and reported to Rong Zhan. “Your Royal Highness, you were right. The Second Miss of the Gu family, Gu Lingyue, could not hold back and went back to the Renyao Hall to look for Mu
Chengyao.”
Rong Zhan nodded lightly and asked, “Did Mu Chengyao not take the antidote?
“He didn’t,” Liu Yi replied.
“Then don’t worry too much, he knows what to do.” After Rong Zhan finished speaking, he looked deeply in the direction of the main door. After making sure that Gu Qingxue’s back was really not in sight, he finally turned around and left.
At the same time, in Renyao Hall…
Gu Lingyue carefully avoided people’s eyes and ears as she quietly followed the stairs all the way to the VIP room on the second floor.
Gu Lingyue felt an inexplicable nervousness in her heart. She did not know why she wanted to come over.
She just wanted to see it with her own eyes. Perhaps, as long as she saw Mu Chengyao and Gu Qingxue together with her own eyes, she could give up on Mu Chengyao.
Gu Lingyue consoled herself in her heart. She took a deep breath and reached out to push open the door of the VIP room. She was surprised to find that the lock on the door of the VIP room had been destroyed. The door of the room was not locked, and it opened with a gentle push.
Gu Lingyue suddenly had a bad feeling. She asked tentatively, “Young Master Mu, are you there?”
In the room, Mu Chengyao had just thought of a perfect revenge plan when he heard Gu Lingyue’s voice from outside the door.
At the thought of how Gu Lingyue had actually dared to use such underhanded methods to deal with him, Mu Chengyao’s eyes were filled with hostility. He immediately collapsed on the soft couch and pretended to be in pain..
