1590 I Must Have an Explanation (2/2)

Luo Zhanyu was speechless. He only came to his senses after a while and said to her, ”Xijiu, I don't understand. It is evident that you love him so much that you had risked your life multiple times for him and would feel distressed at the slightest hint of his affliction. Why would you force him out of the engagement? This isn't like you at all. What happened? Also, what's the deal with the change of your body?”

He sized her up for a while before continuing, ”I see that you've become more slender, but your external abilities are still strong and hardly different from before…”

He was an expert in medicine. Though he had not noticed before, now that he took a good look at Gu Xijiu, he finally saw that she was indeed virginal.

He became confused.

Gu Xijiu rubbed her eyebrows. For him to understand all of this, she would have to explain a lot of things, such as the clone body, the catastrophe, Di Fuyi's identity as The Lord, Lan Jingke's longstanding conflict with Di Fuyi

It would take her a whole two hours to explain all of this. She was mentally fatigued at the moment and did not feel like dwelling on the matter.

Moreover, even if she explained everything to Luo Zhanyu, the problem would not be solved, and she would make him worry about her as well. Therefore, Gu Xijiu just smiled at him and said, ”Alright, it's time to put this matter to bed. I don't want to discuss it anymore. Hey, I remember that you knew how to bake a type of osmanthus cake. I'm craving for it right now. Why don't you make me some as a consolation for my broken heart?”

After hearing what she said, Luo Zhanyu knew that he could not pursue asking her about this anymore and decided to go to Di Fuyi for answers sometime in the future.

Gu Xijiu seemed to know what he was thinking in his mind. ”Brother, if you truly love me dearly, they don't go to him. It's impossible for anything to develop between him and me! If you go to him it'll only make things awkward for me.”

Luo Zhanyu remained silent.

”Brother, promise me! Or you won't ever see me again! I'll stay true to my word!” Gu Xijiu asserted firmly.
