Gu Canmo frowned. Apparently, this man had a bad motive but he did not know who he was. What was his purpose of obtaining information about Tianju Hall? What was his relationship with the green-clothed man?
There were countless mysteries in everyone’s minds but it still remained unresolved.
This case seemed to have settled but the culprit behind it was still yet to be caught. It became more complicated and confusing at this point.
However, the good news was the thorn in Tianju Hall had been taken out. Qian Lingyu had turned back to normal so it was still considered a happy event.
...
The sky had been dark when Gu Xijiu followed The Lord to her house.
She was exhausted the whole day and she felt somewhat sleepy. However, she was still keen to ask The Lord about the results after reading Qian Lingtian's memory.
But The Lord obviously did not want to talk about it. When they returned to the backyard, he waved his hand and asked Gu Xijiu to go back and rest, while he walked back to his own house.
Gu Xijiu did not give up. She was nervous and immediately pulled The Lord’s sleeve, "Lord, what did you see from his memory? Who is the culprit behind all these events? What is his modus operandi? Are there any other accomplices?
The Lord looked at her hand on his sleeve. This little girl was getting more comfortable when she was with him. She actually dared to pull his sleeve…
Gu Xijiu also looked at her hand and she was stunned. She immediately let go of his sleeve.
She did not like to have physical contact with a man. Usually, she would only pat a man on the shoulder if he was her close friend.
She had always respected The Lord. Although she did not like to worship him like how other people did, she still respected him and never had physical contact with him.
This time she actually pulled The Lord’s sleeve like a granddaughter asking for candy from a grandfather…
She felt embarrassed!
The Lord’s eyesight was very aggressive. When he looked at Gu Xijiu, her heartbeat raced.
However, she did not want to give up. Although she had let go of his sleeve, she still looked up at him and waited for an answer.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, come with me." The Lord held her hand and walked into his house.
His big hand was warm and dry while her hand was small.
Gu Xijiu’s heartbeat raced even more. Subconsciously, she wanted to get rid of him but he held her tightly and she was not able to withdraw her hand from his.
She could not use her inner strength because it would seem too obvious. She also doubted if she had the ability to let go of him.
When Gu Xijiu was struggling, she had been brought into The Lord’s house.
What was even worse was she was now in his bedroom.
When she saw the big bed, her face was warm because she recalled the scene when she accidentally fell on his bed.
Especially when she saw the empty bed frame and thought of the whereabouts of that bed drapes, her face flushed even more!
The Lord did not stop and kept walking to the bed.
Gu Xijiu was panicking!
She stopped and said, "Lord, can you tell me here?"
She was worried that The Lord would pull her over so she quickly sat down on a chair and did not move again.
The Lord finally released her. He glanced at her, "Why are you nervous?" Then he laughed, "Where is that courage you exhibited when you pulled my sleeve and did not let go?"
Gu Xijiu secretly cursed him, but she tried to change the topic.
"Lord, I did contribute to the issue this time. I think I have the right to know." Gu Xijiu tried to fight for her right.
"Do you want to drink some tea?" The Lord suddenly asked.
Gu Xijiu hesitated. Actually, she did feel thirsty so she answered without hesitation, "Okay." It was a good time to drink tea to stay awake.
The Lord took out a tea set out of nowhere and started brewing.
Gu Xijiu sat there and stared at his actions as she was worried The Lord would put additional ingredients in the tea…
The way The Lord brewed tea looked very graceful. When he was done, he passed Gu Xijiu the cup, "Drink it."
Gu Xijiu slightly hesitated. The tea smelled good and did not smell like any other tea she had ever drank before.
"Are you afraid of me poisoning you? Do you think I need to poison you if I want to do anything to you?" The Lord seemed to misinterpret her hesitation.
Gu Xijiu shook her head, "Lord, you don't have any reason to poison me. I'm hesitating because the smell of the tea is somewhat strange…"
She suddenly felt that she had said the same thing before. All thanks to her good memory, immediately she recalled that she had the similar conversation with Di Fuyi before…
It was so strange! She had always thought of Di Fuyi whenever she was with The Lord.
She also wondered why there was no news of Di Fuyi since she annulled the marriage arrangement with him.
Was he still living as freely as usual?
She was a little bit distracted and did not drink the tea.
The tea smelled strange? The Lord frowned. He sipped the tea and it tasted good.
However, when he saw her hesitation, he thought that she did not like the tea.
"If you don’t like it, you can leave it aside." The Lord said with unhappy tone.
This was the tea that he collected hardly a few days ago. He thought that she would like it as the tea tasted good and it was suitable for her to practice. However…
Gu Xijiu finally snapped out of her reverie and knew that The Lord had misunderstood. She quickly drank the tea in her hand.
The tea was smooth and she could smell the freshness of the tea leaves.
So she took another sip and drained the whole cup of tea.
"Nice! This tea tastes very nice!" Gu Xijiu praised and almost wanted to give a thumbs up.
She pushed the cup towards him and stared at the small teapot in his hand, "Can I have another one?"
"Drinking one cup is good; two cups would be a waste." The Lord shook his head. When he looked at her it felt like he was looking at a cow that ate a flower. However, he still poured a cup for her and said, "Drink slowly."
Gu Xijiu did not expect that The Lord knew the dialogue in the novel 'Dream of Red Mansions'. It was the conversation that Miaoyu had with Baoyu.
Gu Xijiu was a bit nervous. In the 'Dream of Red Mansions', Miaoyu actually liked Baoyu but she never expressed her feelings; suppressing it deep inside her heart.
Could it be that The Lord liked her but kept his feelings to himself too?
Stop your nonsensical thoughts!
Gu Xijiu suddenly felt that it was scary when she thought about such nonsense because her mind wandered inappropriately when The Lord unintentionally muttered something.
