Gu Zhixi was stunned for a while before she understood the meaning behind his words, and her heart suddenly clenched.
"…Mr. He, I am not your wife," she reminded him, not knowing how many times she had done so.
"Heh…" He looked at her with a half-smile, "Who can guess what the future holds…right, Miss Gu?"
Gu Zhixi's heart fluttered.
The man reached out and gently caressed her lips, saying softly, "Stop crying."
Although she clearly couldn't bear to leave him, she had to put on an act as if she wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Watching her struggle with her contradictions, He Jingyao found it both heart-wrenching and amusing.
"…You should go," Gu Zhixi bit her lip.
She knew this man was powerful, but S country was still Gu Bingjun's territory, and as long as she was determined, she didn't believe this man could truly find her.
He Jingyao smiled meaningfully, as if he knew what she was thinking. Just as he was about to speak, the door behind Gu Zhixi suddenly opened.
