Chapter 1806: Chapter 1807: Forget It, You Have Your Reasons Anyway
"Because itās him, Iām not at ease."
Gu Linxi was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Li Shengxiao lowered his gaze, touched his earpiece with his left hand, and said casually, "Itās nothing. Thatās it, Iām hanging up. Thank you for helping me find out the guest list on the cruise ship. Thanks to you, I saved a lot of time."
Gu Linxi said in a deep voice, "Yan is my friend. If thereās something I can help with, I would have found a way without you asking. Just now, you said that the person who rescued Rong Yan was from the Chu Family, and that makes you uneasy. Does this kidnapping have something to do with the Chu Family? Did they do it again?"
"Previously, Yan was kidnapped to the mountains and almost killed. It was the work of Chu Xiās āadoptive father.ā Is this related to them too?"
Li Shengxiao answered decisively, "This time, it has nothing to do with the Chu Family."
Chu Xi doesnāt count as a member of the Chu Family, just a fake.
Gu Linxi didnāt understand, "Then why did you suddenly say youāre uneasy about Chu Aotian?"
"A private reason. I canāt tell you for now, sorry."
He hasnāt decided whether to tell Rong Yan about the secret of her birth. He doesnāt like Qin Junās approach, but like Qin Jun, he has no right to make decisions for her in this matter.
So for now, he canāt tell Gu Linxi.
Even though Gu Linxi helped him a lot this time, he still canāt say anything.
Fortunately, Gu Linxi is not the type to pester, hearing this, she let out a sigh, "Fine, you must have your reasons for not saying anything. As long as Yan is okay, Iām relieved. Youāve already flown to Britain, right? Iām waiting for your good news."
"Yeah, when I pick her up, Iāll have someone call you to let you know sheās safe."
Gu Linxi chuckled on the other end of the phone, "Thanks."
Li Shengxiao casually ended the call, removed the earpiece from his ear, leaned back in his seat, and pinched the bridge of his tall nose.
The bridge of his nose was high and defined, splitting his handsome face into golden proportions. The play of light and shadow outside the car window crossed that perfect face, making his beauty almost breathtaking.
The carriage was extremely quiet. The driver certainly didnāt dare to speak, only Gu Ming quietly reminded him, "Mr. Li, weāre about to reach the port."
Li Shengxiao lifted his eyelids, turned his head to stare at the passing scenery outside the car window, his expression unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Three hours later, Rong Yan arrived at the port as well.
Eager to disembark, she felt a sense of security only when both feet touched the concrete ground.
Seeing her smile, Chu Aotian also slightly smiled, "Miss Rong, no need to rush. Iāve already arranged a plane for the return trip. We can sit and have some tea while we wait."
Rong Yan was eager to return, a bit embarrassed as she followed behind him, awkwardly smiling and asking, "Mr. Nie, are you going back today as well?"
Chu Aotian could see her urgent desire to return home, smiled warmly, patted her shoulder, "I originally booked a flight for the afternoon, seeing your urgency. Iāve asked them to check if there are earlier flights available. Donāt worry, if thereās a seat, theyāll come back and tell me. You will definitely be able to return today!"
Rong Yan was touched, her eyelashes gently trembled beneath her curved brows, shielding her beautiful eyes. She bit her lip, lifted her eyelids, looked at the person who had helped her all the way, and sincerely said, "Thank you. I honestly donāt know how to express my gratitude. It seems like, other than saying thank you, I have nothing to repay you with. I feel really guilty in my heart."
