C50 (2/2)

Xia Lan immediately understood what he meant. He was doing what a 'godfather' should do, he was punishing her.

”Xia Lan, you have become a lot bolder.” Doing everything, daring to say anything.

”Gourmet, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I …” Xia Lan apologized nervously, but felt that he had nothing to say.

”Do you think I would believe a friend of mine from a young age?” Gu Xi Jue had an expression of ”you treat me like an idiot” as he stared at Xia Lan in a reprimanding manner.

”He really is a friend from a young age!” Xia Lan immediately tried to defend himself. He had already made a mistake, if he continued lying, his crime would be even worse.

”childhood sweetheart, to be exact, it should be your boyfriend, right?” Gu Xi Jue's overbearing attitude was something that had never happened before.

Xia Lan shook his head: ”I really am not a boyfriend, how would I dare to use you to get rid of my boyfriend?”

Gu Xi Jue stared at Xia Lan's face for a long time. Seeing that she did not look flustered, he gave a faint grunt of agreement.

”Gourmet, are you angry?” Xia Lan asked tentatively.

”Or should I be happy?” Gu Xi Jue asked with a dark expression.

”I was wrong.” Xia Lan lowered her head and continued to apologize. Other than apologizing, there was nothing else she could do to make up for it.

When he mentioned compensation, Xia Lan thought to himself, didn't he already kiss her before?

Even though he thought like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Gu Xi Jue's character was calm and cold to begin with, and he had a haughty look to his during normal times, so he was already used to it. Therefore, even if he was angry, he wouldn't yell out a bunch like the other men. All of his anger would only be contained within his heart, and he would use his own channels to vent it out.

It was just like … That fierce kiss.

In his opinion, this was the best punishment.

”From what he's saying, what happened to your family?” Gu Xi Jue asked indifferently.

Actually, he was a little curious about what happened to her that year. Listening to Xiao Yan's meaning, Xia Lan had left home that year.

”I don't know the specifics either. When I left home, I was fine, but now there seems to be a problem.” Xia Lan also didn't want to tell Gu Xi Jue more about what happened all those years ago.

How should he put it? Even she herself did not understand what had happened that year.

”Rest assured Gourmet, I can take care of my family matters.” Xia Lan said with a strong tone.

Gu Xi Jue's expression changed, and awkwardly denied: ”Did I say I would help you?”

Xia Lan curled her lips. Could she have misunderstood something?

”Gourmet, are we going to go out?” Xia Lan asked carefully.
