Chapter 879: Honesty

Gu Xie had been recuperating well. He was young, so his injury healed rather quickly. Lin Xiaojuan lessened her workload. Other than some mandatory publications to handle, she came to the Gu Manor to look after him.

The Gu Manor was quite big, and Gu Xie’s small villa was furnished to be rather cool. The main colors inside were black, white, and gray. The external design of each villa looked about the same, and in the interior, considerations of each child’s style were taken into account.

There were almost no female servants in the Gu Manor, and even their chef was a man. There were a few female gardeners, but they were rather old. They seem to be working part-time here, so they came over every day to look after the plants and to clean up the yard of the Gu Manor. When they finished their job, they would leave. They never stayed for long.

Lin Xiaojuan was cutting some flowers in the garden and putting them into a vase. The colors matched vibrantly, and they were really bright, pretty, and soft. She asked while holding onto the flower vase, “Is it pretty?”

“Nice!”

No matter what she did, Gu Xie would think that it was really well done. Even if she put some flowers together, it was talent to him. Lin Xiaojuan smiled and put it by the window.

The Gu Manor was extremely quiet, and security was very strict.

Lin Xiaojuan spent quite some time to get accustomed to such an atmosphere.

“I’ll push you out for some sun?”

“Sure.”

Gu Xie smiled. He could already get off his bed to walk around, but Lin Xiaojuan was afraid that it would hurt his injury, so she did not allow him to walk around. Usually, she would push him out to get some sun and go for a walk.

The garden in the Gu Manor was really big and well decorated. There was an antique flavor to it, and Lin Xiaojuan really liked it. Gu Xie said softly, “I’m glad that you like it.”

“Huh?”

Gu Xie smiled and said, “After all, you have to live here for the rest of your life. If you don’t like it, what am I supposed to do?”

Lin Xiaojuan’s face reddened. Live here for the rest of my life?

She understood what Gu Xie meant, and her heart palpitated wildly.Had their relationship advanced to the stage where they could be discussing about marriage? Gu Xie’s flirting skills had really skyrocketed a lot lately.

Seeing that she did not answer, Gu Xie did not continue asking. He patted her hand lightly. “Did I scare you this time? I promise this won’t happen again. Although I am a member of Ghost City, I never interfere with the matters in Ghost City. Gunshots will not be raining down on me. Don’t worry.”

“Gu Xie, I’m not worried,” Lin Xiaojuan said. She walked over to face him and looked at him intently, determined. “I accept everything about you, including your family and all the matters you will be facing in the future. No one knows for sure what will happen in the next moment. So things that have not happened before are not worth worrying about.”

Although she may not be a very open-minded person when it came to relationships, she was very calm and logical. She liked Gu Xie.

Especially when Gu Xie got into trouble. She noticed that she had subconsciously fallen deeply for him.

Gu Xie’s cold eyes had a tinge of gentleness. He looked at her intently. “Sure.”

He held her hand softly.

I want to hold your hand, and with you, I will grow old.

Lin Xiaojuan smiled at him, and she thought of something that Jing Yun had said. “Gu Xie, I feel that although lovers should reserve some secrets, there shouldn’t be any lies. Am I right?”

“Of course.” He would never lie to her.

Lin Xiaojuan nodded. “Do you and Yang Po have any kinship?”

If she did not clarify this, it felt like something was bothering her in her heart. It did not feel good, and it made her insecure at all times. She was in a hurry to hear his denial.

Gu Xie was shocked. He suddenly noticed something really terrifying, and he could not help but hold onto Lin Xiaojuan’s hand. “Where did you hear this? What did you hear?”
