1462 Untitled Chapter (2/2)

Lan Waihu seemed to be emotionally troubled. Was it true that she turned her back on Yan Chen and went on with Lan Yue instead? She could tell that Lan Yue was not as charming as Yan Chen. Also, he did not treat her as well as Yan Chen did.

Yan Chen was truly fond of Lan Waihu, so much so that the affection had motivated him to treat her even better. On the contrary, Lan Yue was mostly filled with jealousy, as though he was threatened by the people around him who were attempting to steal what he had from him.

”Lan Waihu, do you like Lan Yue?” Gu Xijiu could no longer hold back her question.

She used a spell so Lan Waihu could still hear her even in her sleep.

She murmured, ”He is… I shall not betray him…”

Gu Xijiu did not quite understand.

”He is?” Gu Xijiu continued, patiently.

”He is… He is a genius. He is the pride of his family, unlike me… Someone like me, someone of a dubious background, will never deserve him… I am not a wild child. I have a father… I did not interrupt his practice… I have been very obedient all this time, why… Why did you call me a foxy woman? Why did you say that I was shameless?”

Gu Xijiu was puzzled. She was asking her about Lan Yue, but in a daze, she answered her about Yan Chen instead.

Lan Waihu seemed to be caught in her own bad dreams, as tears kept on streaming down her face. ”I… I did not misbehave. I did not want to fight them. It was… It was them who called me out… They said that my mother was a woman of loose morals. I was naturally frustrated.”

Gu Xijiu was thoroughly confused.
