C138 (2/2)

Although this was a rhetorical question, Jiang Jiayi was very sure. He understood Gu Linxi's expression. Something must have happened to her appearance, so she was feeling vexed.

Gu Linxi cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Jiayi and nodded, ”Zhao Haoyu's mother has come looking for me today.”

Jiang Jiayi clicked his tongue. There was no need to say anything else. He had already guessed the purpose of the other party's visit. From the looks of it, it seemed as though it had caused Gu Linxi some distress. However, such a small matter wasn't worth it for Gu Linxi to be vexed over. The matter regarding Zhao Haoyu was originally planted by him, and the most he could do was to help that female ghost.

Gu Linxi was somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Jiang Jiayi seemed to have already understood what was going on, he couldn't help but frown and feel somewhat unhappy. She felt an indescribable depression in her heart. That depression was like a layer of dark clouds, pressing down on her until she was unable to breathe.

Gu Linxi didn't like Jiang Jiayi hiding anything from her. Even if it was for her own good, Gu Lingxi didn't want to accept this kind of good intentions. The feeling of being kept in the dark would only be understood by those who had experienced it. It was a very uncomfortable thing to do.

Sensing Gu Linxi's displeasure, Jiang Jiayi slightly moved. He seemed to have guessed why Gu Linxi was unhappy. However, there was nothing to say about this matter. He didn't like talking about other people's affairs with Gu Linxi. Jiang Jiayi didn't like Gu Linxi's anger towards him because of these matters of others. He pulled Gu Linxi into his embrace and placed his chin on Gu Lingxi's head.

”If you want to know, I'll tell you.”

Although she didn't like to talk about those things, since Gu Linxi was so concerned about them, Jiang Jiayi had to tell him about them from the beginning to the end.

Gu Linxi had previously thought for a split-second that perhaps Zhu Yitong and Zhao Haoyu had done something, but that thought was quickly extinguished. Now that Jiang Jiayi had brought it up, however, Gu Linxi felt a trace of lingering fear. If Jiang Jiayi had not appeared at that time, what would have happened to her?

She didn't dare to think any further. There were some things that couldn't stand up to this kind of association. She hoped that Yi Tong would be this vicious, something that she had never thought of before. As a woman, this sort of thing was extremely painful for a woman, yet she was helping Zhao Haoyu. However, when he thought of Zhu Yi Tong's current appearance, Gu Linxi also felt that it was within his expectations.

Zhu Yitong was no longer the girl of the past. She had become so unfamiliar and vicious. Or perhaps, when he actually knew her, she'd already looked like that. It was just that she, Gu Linxi, had never seen it clearly before.

”You don't blame me?” Gu Linxi felt that it was a bit strange. Jiang Jiayi actually didn't blame her for trusting others so easily. If this was the case when Jiang Jiayi was alive, then he would definitely be giving a good lecture.

Jiang Jiayi glanced at Gu Linxi. His gaze made Gu Linxi feel somewhat uneasy and a little embarrassed. As if he'd asked a silly question, Gu Linxi felt his ears burn, and his cheeks flush red. Feeling a little uneasy as he played with his fingers, Gu Lingxi somewhat unnatural yet suddenly turned a little angry from embarrassment as he glared back at Jiang Jiayi.

With a laugh, Jiang Jiayi's laughter broke this somewhat awkward atmosphere. Gu Linxi also followed suit and laughed twice. The two of them were really too childish.

”You think I should be angry?” After he finished laughing, Jiang Jiayi asked Gu Linxi with a serious expression.

She felt that Jiang Jiayi, who didn't pursue the matter in the slightest, was somewhat surprising to her.

”I'm angry, but what can I do?” Jiang Jiayi's finger lightly traced across Gu Linxi's face. His eyes were misty for a moment, as if he was truly helpless against it. He was rather angry, so angry that he wanted to tear Gu Lingxi apart. When he thought back to the time when Gu Linxi had called out Xie Siqiang's name, Jiang Jiayi's expression instantly turned extremely cold.
