The moment Gong Jue said that, he immediately realized that he had been a little too obvious.
There was nothing wrong with Wu er, but he was targeting Wu er like this and wasn’t even willing to help him with a small favor. It sounded a little... uh, hard to describe.
But!
Gong Jue pursed his lips and his gaze swept past Gu Qiqi. When he saw that Gu Qiqi had actually taken the initiative to offer to help Wu er, his eyes dimmed. The jealousy in his heart drove him to be firm and unchanging!
Adulterer! I Can’t help him!
Hence..
He watched helplessly as Gu Qiqi ran to Wu Er’s side enthusiastically and happily. She stretched out her fair and slender arms and helped that fellow fish out medicinal herbs from the beast trap pit.
She even took the initiative to help Wu er think of a way to teach him how to sort out some damaged and dampened medicinal herbs and dry them in the Sun.
