1496 Do You Like Him? (2/2)

Gu Xijiu asked, ”Do you still care about him?”

Lan Waihu was stunned, and she gazed downwards. She added after pursing her lips, ”I treat him like my brother. After all, it was because of me that he got injured. I have always felt guilty about it.”

Gu Xijiu comforted Little Fox with a smile. ”To be honest, I've already given some medicine to him when I first checked his injuries.”

Lan Waihu heaved a sigh of relief. ”It's curable, right?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. ”He has delayed his treatment for far too long. I can only help him to avoid the paralysis effect, but he would still have to bear with the pain. Unless…”

Lan Waihu immediately grabbed her sleeve. ”What is it?”

However, Gu Xijiu did not want to talk about it anymore, and she tapped Lan Waihu's hand. ”Little Fox, there are certain things that we can't get back once we have lost it. Let's not think about it anymore. Though my medicine won't be able to nullify his side effects completely, it should help him deal with the pain. Don't worry. He will even be able to fight during those two days.”

Lan Waihu remained silent.

She still wanted to pursue the matter. ”Yan Chen would still have to suffer. If only there were a way to heal him completely.”

Gu Xijiu continued to look at her without a sound.

Lan Waihu's head fell lower as Gu Xijiu continued to look at her.

Gu Xijiu helplessly sighed. ”Little Fox, is Lan Yue treating you well?”

”He is very nice.”

”Do you like him?”

Lan Waihu was stunned. ”I guess…”

Gu Xijiu frowned. ”I guess?”

Somehow, she felt that Little Fox had finally dated someone nice. She had found a suitable relationship, and they were finally adapting to their condition after a period of interacting with each other. Hence, would she marry the man?

Lan Waihu was getting anxious and nodded. ”He is quite nice to me.”

Lan Yue had treated her quite well over the past two years ever since they revealed their relationship. He went to see her almost every day and even brought her out every ten days to strengthen their bond. It was very similar to the dates between men and women that Gu Xijiu described.

”What about Yan Chen?”

His name seemed to trigger Little Fox's feelings. Hence, she decided not to speak about it anymore.

Perhaps, she felt comfortable whenever she was around Yan Chen as they grew up together ever since they were young. She would throw her tantrum whenever she wanted if Yan Chen pissed her off and usually, Yan Chen would coax her. When she was happy, she would bring Yan Chen along to play with her. After that, she would fall asleep in Yan Chen's embrace when she was tired from having fun. Though Yan Chen was not a talkative person, he took great care of her. Even if she fell asleep in the snow, she would never catch a cold as Yan Chen would carry her back to the hotel or find a cave and set up a fire to warm her. Perhaps, he would also use his spiritual power to keep her warm so that she would feel at home even though she was asleep in the forest.

She need not worry about anything when she was with Yan Chen as he always took care of everything. Indeed, Yan Chen was slightly egoistic and dominant. Hence, he was always the decision maker. He never bothered to ask for her opinion when they were ordering food. However, most of the dishes he ordered were usually her favorites.

She always felt nervous around Lan Yue. He possessed a certain kind of aura which was difficult to describe. Hence, she always felt cautious and stressed whenever they were together. Whenever they played together, Lan Yue would always ask for her opinion and even allowed her to decide what to order. However, she had a problem with making decisions and always panicked when she had to make the final say. She had no sense of direction and did not know what she wanted to order. Regardless of their next destination or what they were going to have for their next meal, everything she decided always made her think of Yan Chen.

Lan Yue wanted to be more intimate with her, so he tried hugging her. However, whenever he tried to get close to her, she would immediately get nervous, and the hair on her skin would stand. She did not want him to hug her. She even felt like withdrawing her hand when he held her hand.

Though she was a fan of cuddling people, she did not dare and did not want to do so with Lan Yue.

She felt like a little girl whenever she was around Yan Chen. On the other hand, she felt like a woman whenever she was with Lan Yue. A woman with responsibilities on her shoulders.

Gu Xijiu looked at her for a moment and sighed. ”Little Fox, try and ask yourself this question. Who do you want to spend time your time with for the rest of your life? It's a lifetime promise for two people to be together. You'll see each other every day; you'll have a child together.”

Lan Waihu trembled as her fingers clenched onto her blanket. Was she going to be with Lan Yue for the rest of her life and also have his baby? She immediately felt anxious and even wanted to escape!

Gu Xijiu added, ”Marriage is an important thing. Don't risk your life over a bet because of anger especially since you're from the Blue Fox clan. You will live a very long life.”

Just as Gu Xijiu was about to leave, Lan Waihu quickly added, ”But I've lost the bet, and we have gotten engaged! How could I possibly ask for a divorce? Lan Yue told me that the Blue Fox clan treats an engagement to be as sacred as marriage itself. Hence, it can never be canceled.”

Since when did the Blue Fox clan have such an odd regulation? Had Lan Yue fooled Little Fox? Gu Xijiu frowned and tapped on Lan Waihu's shoulder. ”This is something that you need to ask yourself. Little Fox, you need to learn how to take full responsibility for your decision. Don't worry. I'm always here for you regardless of the decision you make.”

Everything is possible as long as one is determined enough! Not to mention that it was only an engagement, one could get divorced even after he or she was married!

Gu Xijiu would help if Little Fox wanted to cancel the engagement with Lan Yue. However, she must learn to be strong and take accountability for her actions. After all, it was Little Fox's decision. Advising her was the best that Gu Xijiu could do.

She finally walked out from Little Fox's room. The moonlight made the ground look snowy as though a sea of mercury covered it.

She raised her head and looked at the moon that was in the sky. She wondered whether Di Fuyi would come back tonight as it was a full moon.

It had been eight days since Di Fuyi left. It was their first time being apart for so long since they got married. She wondered if he had accomplished all of his tasks.

Before leaving, Di Fuyi had left her a letter saying that he needed to investigate something. Hence, he wanted her to stay in the Tianju Association to handle Little Fox's issue.
