Gu Chen was startled by Sasha's choice of words. The term "country" was not something anyone could casually use.
Sasha noticed that Gu Chen was special to Song Fan. There wasn't a specified hierarchy for how Gu Chen should be treated, something Song Fan would have clarified from the start given her personality.
Since she didn't specify, it meant anything could be discussed with Gu Chen.
Sasha jokingly referred to them as lovers, but he understood that Gu Chen and Song Fan did not have that kind of relationship.
Their current strength was formidable, and there was no need to fear anyone knowing about it; it could be openly discussed.
Gu Chen remained silent for a while. He looked at Sasha with a puzzled expression, waiting for an explanation.
