Indeed, after the engagent was canceled, she didn’t know anyone in New City, and he, as her only little uncle, ignored her.
But Lu Beichen snorted coldly, "You’re nothing now!"
Gu Xiyao bit her lip tightly, concealing her sadness, "Fine, since Little Uncle is in such a hurry, co in and sit for a mont. I just brewed so tea, and poured a cup for you too. I’ll go inside to tidy up and bring it to you!"
She turned around and walked towards her room. Lu Beichen walked over to the coffee table and sat down, taking a small sip from the teacup.
It was a while before Gu Xiyao ca out of the room, having let her hair down and changed her clothes. Though the heating was still on, she wrapped herself in a coat, looking sowhat trembly.
"Where’s the stuff?" Lu Beichen put down the teacup, frowning slightly, evidently lacking patience with her.
Gu Xiyao went directly to sit in front of him, then swallowed and asked, "Little Uncle, why did you agree with Ning Zesheng to cancel the engagent with ?"
"Xi Yao, the engagent is already canceled; what’s the point of asking now?" Lu Beichen said, "You don’t have anything to hand over to him, do you?"
"No, I have nothing to hand over to him!" Gu Xiyao looked up at him, her eyes already red, "Little Uncle, I really didn’t know there was sothing mixed in the wine back then, but you didn’t believe at all, and you wanted to marry off to Ning Zesheng. I knelt for two days at ho, to prove my innocence, under your disposal. My mother disagreed, but finally consented!"
Lu Beichen held the teacup without saying a word.
"Now, I’ve made up my mind to marry him, yet with one word from you my engagent is nullified! I know Ning Zesheng doesn’t want to marry , but I’m trying! Little Uncle, whatever you did before I would never question because, in my heart, whatever you do I believe in you. However, now, I just want to ask you, did you ever, even for a mont, consider my feelings?"
"You know he doesn’t want to marry you, yet you still don’t want to cancel the engagent?" Lu Beichen felt he didn’t understand her at all.
"I want to cancel it, but not like this, and not with your consent for cancellation!" She was clearly emotional, but due to her character, she still spoke calmly and slowly, "Ning Zesheng suggested before; I thought we’d have to cancel it soday, but didn’t anticipate Little Uncle you agreeing so easily! Do you really care about ? Then, since I’m abandoned, shouldn’t you... help ?"
Gu Xiyao’s tears flowed down imdiately, "Why? Little Uncle, you clearly always cared for ? Why all of a sudden you don’t care at all?"
"Xi Yao, the engagent was a mistake from the start. I admit it was my impulse that led to your engagent back then." Lu Beichen’s expression beca colder, "It’s precisely because of this that I keep tolerating your actions ti and again, Xi Yao, I thought you weren’t suited to stay in New City."
"You thought?" Gu Xiyao cried and laughed, "Little Uncle, you always ’thought,’ but why do you think I wanted to cancel the engagent with Ning Zesheng then?"
Lu Beichen’s face fell, stopping her from speaking further, "Get ready and prepare for tonight’s flight!"
He stood up, showing no intention of continuing the conversation. Gu Xiyao quickly stood up and grabbed him, "Little Uncle, why are you leaving? What are you avoiding? Do you know why I agreed to cancel the engagent?"
Lu Beichen’s eyebrows tightened as her burning hand grasped his, looking at her with a glance. Gu Xiyao leaned forward suddenly, nearly knocking over the coffee table.
"Little Uncle, do you know I love you? Please don’t leave, alright? Little Uncle, don’t go, don’t go!"
She murmured, leaning close like a fiery ball.
