It was a long time before Gu Lianchengâs gaze fell once again on Bai Xiaoxiao, making her so nervous that she stuttered, "Mr. Gu, I..."
"Bai Xiaoxiao, right?" Gu Liancheng mentioned her name quite leisurely.
Before she could react, Gu Liancheng smirked as if he was scoffing, his words came out like a cold warning: "Stay away from Eleven."
"Thud", Bai Xiaoxiaoâs brain froze, and she stared at Gu Liancheng in disbelief.
What...did he just say?
"Mr. Gu...did I..." offend you somehow?
She surprisingly saw on his face...
Disgust?
How could that be?
She hadnât even interacted with him, why would he despise her?
Before Bai Xiaoxiao could finish, Gu Liancheng dismissed her and suddenly got up.
"Letâs go."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked up to see Eleven coming with two bags in hand.
Apparently, those words from Gu Liancheng were meant for Eleven.
Having said that, Gu Liancheng didnât wait for Eleven and just strode out. Su Qing had already brought the car from the parking lot, waiting outside.
Even though Eleven waved happily towards Gu Liancheng, he didnât respond, walked up to Bai Xiaoxiao baffled, and muttered, "Whatâs got into him? Why is he ignoring me?"
Bai Xiaoxiao thought to herself, she too would like to know what was going on.
Was it because of the phone incident just now? But it didnât add up...He advised her to keep her distance from Eleven, it wasnât her fault about the phone, moreover, she was standing up for Eleven all along, she didnât upset anyone.
So, what exactly was the reason then?
"Xiaoxiao? Whatâs wrong? You look unwell."
"...Nothing..."
Eleven remembered Gu Lianchengâs unsightly expression as he walked out earlier, then looked at Bai Xiaoxiaoâs seemingly awkward face, and realized something.
Could Xiaoxiao have said something wrong and offended Gu Liancheng?
"Xiaoxiao! If itâs about Gu Liancheng, donât worry about it, heâs just like that. I had a hard time getting used to him when I first started interacting with him too, hold on a minute."
With that, Eleven ran out to find Gu Liancheng. If there were any misunderstandings, it was better to clear them up on the spot.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt quite unsettled, and strolled out of the mall at her own pace.
She saw Eleven talking to someone inside the Bentley, with no expression on his face.
Then, as she shifted her gaze, she suddenly saw a familiar figure!
The person standing not far away...
Isnât that Jin Xiangbei??
