Chapter 224: Not as Simple as You Think

"… Mhm."

Gu Xingze hesitated to speak and only replied with a hum. He wanted to say more, but he was vexed to realize that he was not in the position to do so.

Yun Shishi also felt extremely awkward. When the two, who were on the phone, heard each other's breathing, they instantly fell silent.

The extended period of silence made them feel as if time had stopped.

It went on like this until he let out a sigh from the other side.

"Shishi, don't be afraid."

Her eyes bulged in astonishment.

"Are you and him a thing?"

He sounded her out. His mention of 'him' made her recall what had happened last night.

She froze and nodded in a daze, forgetting that they were on the phone, and he could not see her.

"That man isn't as simple as you think. It's best if you don't get involved with him."

There was obviously an unfounded worry in his voice.

That man was not that simple?
