Seeing Xia Chuyi insist so much, Guo Jiumin could only say, "Alright then, I won’t beat around the bush. Young Madam Huo, you have foreknowledge, don’t you?"
Guo Jiumin said this quite calmly and directly.
Of course, if one looked closely, Guo Jiumin’s calm was entirely an act.
In reality, when Guo Jiumin looked at Xia Chuyi, there was a kind of fanaticism in his eyes.
Because "foreknowledge" represented limitless possibilities for the future!
Of course, on the premise that history had not been abruptly altered by human interference.
"Foreknowledge?" Hearing Guo Jiumin’s words, Xia Chuyi still shook her head and said, "I really don’t understand what you an, Mr. Guo."
Faced with Guo Jiumin’s question, Xia Chuyi’s first reaction was, of course, to play dumb.
Not only that, Xia Chuyi even deliberately asked Guo Jiumin, "Mr. Guo, I’m quite curious—who exactly told you that I have foreknowledge?"
Hearing Xia Chuyi say that, Guo Jiumin looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Young Madam Huo, are you saying you don’t trust Guo?"
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Mr. Guo, this is the new society now. How could we still believe in those things?"
"I’m just genuinely curious—this claim that I have foreknowledge... where did you get that information, Mr. Guo?" Xia Chuyi said calmly. "For all you know, that person might have been lying to you."
"Young Madam Huo, are you trying to get Guo to show his sincerity first?" Guo Jiumin laughed when he heard Xia Chuyi’s words and said, "But Guo also hopes Young Madam Huo can show so sincerity first."
"After all, from start to finish, it’s been Guo taking the initiative here." Guo Jiumin said this with deliberate sighing.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Since you’re the one taking the initiative, Mr. Guo, then I hope you can be even more proactive to the very end."
"This sort of foreknowledge... really does sound like sheer fantasy." Xia Chuyi said, "It makes seem as if I’m... dabbling in feudal superstition or sothing."
"Mr. Guo, this is the new society now. Things like that shouldn’t be talked about casually." Xia Chuyi also deliberately sighed.
They were both smart people; by this point, Guo Jiumin and Xia Chuyi both understood what the other ant.
On Guo Jiumin’s side, he wanted Xia Chuyi to admit that she had foreknowledge.
While on Xia Chuyi’s side, she wanted Guo Jiumin to first reveal who it was that had learned her secret.
In short, both of them wanted to seize the initiative.
For a mont, the two fell silent, a faint air of confrontation between them.
After a while, Guo Jiumin said, "Speaking of feudal superstition... Huo Shiqian has been away on a mission for so ti now, hasn’t he?"
"Funny thing is, I don’t know why, but even though I’ve only t Brother Huo a few tis, ever since he left on this mission, I keep having this strange feeling that he..."
"Seems likely to run into trouble on the border." Guo Jiumin drawled deliberately, "Young Madam Huo, would you say this premonition of mine counts as feudal superstition?"
As soon as Guo Jiumin’s words fell, the aura around Xia Chuyi suddenly tightened.
"What do you an by that, Mr. Guo?" Xia Chuyi asked.
Guo Jiumin smiled and said, "Exactly what Young Madam Huo is thinking in her heart."
What she was thinking in her heart?
"Mr. Guo, have you interfered in the border affairs?" Xia Chuyi clenched her fist and stopped circling around, directly asking Guo Jiumin.
"What makes Young Madam Huo say that?" Seeing how tense Xia Chuyi looked, Guo Jiumin smiled even more casually and said, "Guo is just a bit older in years and more concerned about the younger generation, that’s all."
