C49 (1/2)

He was holding a lot of straws and was looking for one to sign. People were coming and going at him, but unknowingly, he bumped into someone.

A smile broke out on Xie Siqian's face. When he had first seen Gu Linxi, she had been the same as well. No matter how much time had passed, Gu Linxi was still an impetuous person. It wasn't that smart, but it was dazzling.

Xie Siqiang didn't greet Gu Linxi for a while. He sent him off with his eyes as he watched her departing figure disappear into the distance. Next, he held a lot in his hand. The signature on it was the one that he had exchanged from Gu Linxi. Looking at the Buddha statue in the middle, Xie Si's face showed a hint of seriousness. In this world, there were three types of powers. One originated from him, the other from Gu Linxi, and the third …

With a profound look, he looked at the lot. He could decipher this signature as well. Even though the signature was filled with malice, it still shouldn't be in Gu Linxi's hands. He wasn't sure if Gu Linxi would have any bad intentions after receiving the signature's explanation, but Gu Shenwei was currently living a very happy life, so he let her continue on like this.

Xie Si Er didn't ask for much, and only wished that Gu Lin Xi could get what he wanted.

Gu Linxi didn't notice in the slightest that the lot in her hand had already been exchanged by Xie Si Er. Just now, she had bumped into someone. Originally, she should have said something about apologizing. Only for a moment, as if there were a moment's blankness in her head, and then she was gone, without a word of apology. Gu Linxi turned around to look at those people, but the number of people here was truly too many.

Since he couldn't find the person, he could only silently apologize in his heart. Gu Linxi found someone who understood the value of the lot.

After leaving the temple, the smile on Gu Linxi's face hadn't faded. In her mind, she recalled the words that the person who had drawn the lots had told her. That was the contract, she was asking for a marriage alliance. Thinking up to this point, Gu Linxi felt that perhaps she really might be able to spend a long, long time together with Jiang Jiayi.

The master who had unraveled the lot had a rather sage-like appearance. He told Gu Linxi that it was the first one he'd unraveled. There might be some twists and turns in her request, but it would eventually come to fruition.

On the stairs, there was a person standing two hundred meters behind Gu Linxi. She didn't look back, so she didn't notice that person. And this person was caught by Jiang Jiayi. From the first moment he saw this person, Jiang Jiayi felt a sense of threat.

Xie Siqian stood at that spot, watching from afar as Gu Linxi ran towards Jiang Jiayi. Only by Jiang Jiayi's side would Gu Linxi smile so heartily, not to mention that all of this had been what Gu Linxi had wished for in the first place. The unwillingness in her heart was once again deeply hidden, and a smile flashed across Xie Siqian's lips. He turned away, no longer looking at Linxi. He was afraid that Gu Lin Xi would throw himself into Jiang Jiayi's arms. To him, this was too dazzling.

”What are you looking at?” Gu Linxi followed Jiang Jiayi's gaze and looked over curiously, only to see the back of a man in a black coat. Had Jiang Jiayi met someone he knew? But that shouldn't be possible. Jiang Jiayi didn't even remember her, so how could he remember someone he knew before he died?

Jiang Jiayi came back to his senses. With a slightly stiff tone, he said to Gu Linxi, ”Did you meet someone familiar just now?”

Gu Linxi frowned. She didn't quite understand Jiang Jiayi's words. Just now, she had only gone inside the temple. What kind of acquaintance could she have met? Since this place was so big, it would be a great coincidence if she met someone she knew here.

”No, it's crowded. I don't see anyone I know. Why did you suddenly ask that? ”

Jiang Jiayi did not trust Gu Linxi's words. He had a suspicious side to his personality to begin with. That person from earlier, he was certain that that person knew Gu Linxi. Pursing his lips, Jiang Jiayi's displeasure was completely revealed. Gu Linxi felt that Jiang Jiayi's reaction was somewhat baffling. She did not meet any acquaintances, so was there anything to lie about?
