The man's stature was tall and straight, his aura alone completely KO'd the woman.
Gu Xiaonuan looked up, gazing into Si Yuchen's deep and profound eyes.
"Even if I take ten thousand steps back and say that I did go,"
she had thrown caution to the wind today, since Si Yuchen planned on "forcing her hand" anyway.
Si Yuchen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "And then?"
"Lulu and I had barely walked in when we bumped into a guy. Lulu's eyes lit up when she saw him, I tried to pull her away, but failed. Lulu is my best friend, I can't just watch her fall into someone else's trap."
Gu Xiaonuan's words were earnest, not seemingly deceitful.
"You're afraid she would fall into a pit, so you decided to take her hand and jump in together," Si Yuchen instantly understood, his gaze at the woman now laced with mockery, "Madam Si, how very loyal of you."
"I..."
Gu Xiaonuan, infuriated by his words, tried to push away the man blocking her path.
