I wanted to tell Gu Tingshen that the past was just that, the past, that this wasn't Guangzhou, it was Shanghai, and I was no longer the person cornered by Master Zhao, left with no choice but to think of ways to use him.
Some things don't need to be spelled out, Gu Tingshen is a smart man, he could naturally understand the meaning behind my words.
After I'd finished speaking, I sensed the air around him grow subdued, his entire demeanor became more somber.
"You want to continue to follow Cheng Yu? But he already has someone else by his side, you saw it today, he's quite protective of Miss Lin."
Gu Tingshen's words made my breath catch, and my mind kept replaying the scene where Cheng Yu defended Lin Xiaxian, even just one sentence from Gu Tingshen could ignite his rage.
"No need to say more." My voice involuntarily rose, and after speaking, I took a deep breath, "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest."
