"No need to thank her, as a member of the Beacon Group, Gu Xixi is duty-bound to protect Mu Liang, just as Gu Xiaowu would." Lu Bai spoke indifferently, his gaze sweeping towards Gu Xixi, "Right, Xixi?"
"Of course." Gu Xixi's smile was a bit forced, she still dared not clash head-on with Lu Bai.
With Lu Bai's words, the rest could only agree, to disobey would be unless you no longer wish to stay with the Beacon Group.
Qiao Xia was not foolish, she had finally noticed the discord between Lu Bai and Gu Xixi and her mind conjured up a whole melodramatic soap opera of unrequited love—a story of two brothers and one woman seemed all too familiar.
"It's just, I didn't expect Ah Liang to get married so soon." Gu Xixi exuded an aura of quiet resentment, pitiable in her eyes, but Qiao Xia was not buying it; she knew very well how she and Mu Liang got married.
Lu Bai, Lin Jingsheng, and others, including Fang Manning, knew it too.
No matter the cause, now, they were husband and wife.
