"Oh my, youâre still playing! Stop playing!" Ye Fei pulled Eleven up, "Your husbandâs been lured away by a vixen! Hurry up and catch up!"
"Hey, hey, I was about to catch one--"
"Catch your brother, Fang Eleven! Come on, letâs go, quickly!"
Evidently, she wasnât referring to her own husband, this Eleven.
Ye Fei, with quite some effort, dragged Eleven away from the goldfish catching stall. Amidst the bustling crowd, she tried to spot Gu Liancheng and that woman.
"Let me ask you, Fang Eleven, is that man really your husband? Why are you even calmer than me?"
"What else can I do?" Eleven shrugged helplessly, "Should I charge towards that vixen, slap her across the face, and then confront her with the attitude of a wronged wife, saying: You dare to seduce my husband! Like that?"
"I support you! You deal with the vixen, and Iâll take care of Gu Liancheng!"
Eleven stood at her spot, took a hold of Ye Feiâs hand, and whispered, "Itâs okay, Feiâer, I know you mean well. But we both know that my relationship with Gu Liancheng is not as the public perceives it, who is he to me after all? Can I control his personal life?"
"Eleven..."
"Really, not to mention that he promised me he wouldnât fool around, even if he didnât promise, so what? What can I do to him? Right now, all Iâm thinking is, if weâre going to separate, letâs do it quickly. Since heâs already found his next Mrs. Gu, I should naturally be prepared to step down. Feiâer, I think, starting from now, Iâll distance myself a bit from him, get used to living as a single person again. That way, when he proposes divorce, I wonât be caught off guard, right?"
"Ah... youâre right," Ye Fei felt that she may have jumped to conclusions, so she stopped in her tracks and didnât keep chasing them. "A forced marriage isnât sweet. Why should we lose our dignity over competing with a vixen for a man? We should just let her have him! There are plenty of good guys around, like my brother, right?"
"..."
Act as if her brother was just that!
"Ah, Eleven~ So youâre here too~" In the crowd, some of West Shadowâs classmates suddenly emerged.
Eleven held back the impulsive Ye Fei, whispering to her, "With you here, they wouldnât dare to do anything."
Ye Fei figured, that made sense.
"Eleven!" Someone pushed through the crowd and took her hand, "Guess who we just saw over there?"
"Who?"
"Mr. Gu! You must have gotten separated, right? Come on, letâs go."
"Heyââ" Eleven was pulled by them and had to follow.
They really misunderstood this time, they were not separated at all! Gu Liancheng had no idea she was at the temple fair.
She didnât expect that he would bring his new lover to the fair.
Just last night, she was wondering if he would agree to go to the temple fair with her. Turns out, he had already had plans with another woman.
"Eleven, look, isnât that Mr. Gu?" They were all very excited.
One glance from Eleven and Ye Fei confirmed that the man standing alone in a crowd making a call was indeed Gu Liancheng.
"As soon as we saw Mr. Gu, we guessed you must be nearby! And here you are."
Well... this was just a coincidence.
"Eleven, you must be hungry after walking around for so long, right? Letâs ask Mr. Gu to join us for lunch."
So they only wanted to have lunch with Gu Liancheng.
Eleven smiled: "Actually--"
Before she could finish, they saw a girl wearing a mask suddenly jump next to Gu Liancheng. Gu Liancheng said something to her, then she took his arm and they both continued walking.
"Uh..." They all looked at each other, someone even let go of Elevenâs hand, awkwardly saying, "That person... He canât be Mr. Gu... We must have gotten it wrong..."
