When he left, Gu Daiyan only chose to stay by Duan Chengyu's side, and gently placed her hand on his arm.

In his heart, Duan Chengrui was perturbed. Perhaps as long as he knew a little more about Gu Daiyan, this kind of mistake would not become a double-edged sword, and his love for Gu Daiyan had long been thrown into the abyss.

On the contrary, Duan Chengxuan walked calmly by his side.

However, he knew Gu Tinyan better than anyone. It was not because she was too suspicious, but because she had too much information, and because she was always smart enough to link everything together to form a correct conclusion.

However, all love was just an intelligence to her. She could choose to agree to it, or she could overturn all rejection.

But these would be the last straw.

”I don't seem to understand what you said just now.” Duan Chengyu's soft voice broke the silence.

”You don't need to understand. What I mean is, compared to these two men who only know how to talk about love, I trust simple people like you more.” Gu Danyan smiled and grabbed his hand, ”Someone who wants to distract me with their Overlord's Meal definitely wouldn't want to think about immortality for such a long time.”

”I know how to hit people too.” The corner of Duan Chengyu's mouth twitched, he could only say that back then, he was young and arrogant, and he had even done many embarrassing things with Qi Lin.

”In a bit, send me to the Hall of Mercy.” Gu Danyan lightly tugged on Duan Chengyu's arm, then said, ”I'll be leaving with Third Prince in a few days.”

”Didn't you just distrust them?” Duan Chengyu frowned, he suddenly felt that all these years of growth was in vain.

Initially, he thought that he would at least be able to participate in the matters between them, but the truth was that Duan Chengxuan and Gu Pingyan mercilessly tossed him out of their minds and didn't have any intention of explaining in detail.

”I do trust you, but do you have the ability to help me?”

”We are no longer friends.”

”Qingze is your little brother, and I'm Qingze's mother. You still need to call me aunt.”

”…” Duan Chengyu obediently shut his mouth. When Gu Mingyan was smiling and teasing him, it could be because Gu Daiyan's heart was in a mess and she needed to vent, or because she was just thinking of some new idea.

And now, she was venting her dissatisfaction.

As he understood this, Duan Chengyu carefully held onto Gu Danyan: ”How about I let Ruo Li follow you?”

”Are you trying to spy on me?” Gu Liuyan raised an eyebrow and slowed down her pace. She carefully grabbed hold of Duan Chengyu's hand, tiptoed, and whispered into his ear.

His voice was so soft that Duan Chengxuan couldn't hear it clearly.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Duan Chengyu's expression darkened: ”You will receive your retribution.”

”Before that, I had already achieved my goal.” Gu Daiyan replied with a smile.

Duan Chengyu had a mournful expression and could only muster up the courage to bring Gu Daiyan away from under Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan's noses. The relationship between Duan Chengyu and Gu Daiyan could be considered better since the two of them had once stood up for each other before.
