905: 659 Be careful (thanks for the tip!) 905: 659 Be careful (thanks for the tip!) Perhaps it was He Qiyang’s guidance that prompted Guo Anle to hesitate no longer.
Even the tabloids unable to dig up any dirt on him, this well-born gentleman took a firm step forward.
Two days after the scandal broke, he bravely asked He Yihui for a eting.
He Yihui didn’t refuse and readily agreed to et.
The Paris Tower, built to the sa proportions as the Eiffel Tower, with a thirty-seven-story observation deck.
When He Yihui arrived, the Guo family’s young master, who seed to be smitten with her at first sight, was taking pictures for an elderly foreign couple who must have been tourists visiting Haojiang.
The old couple had gray hair but bright smiles.
Afterward, Guo Anle returned the cara to them, responding fluently in English, modest and gentle.
Undeniably.
As He Junru had evaluated, he was indeed a man who was hard to fault in any way.
Any woman in his company should likely live well.
Without any disturbing past, she stood at a distance for a while, only approaching after the foreign couple thanked Guo Anle and left.
“You’re here.”
Guo Anle turned his head, saw her, and smiled, “They ca from Norway.
Shenzhou is their fifth stop.
They plan to travel the whole world while they still can in their lifeti.
So romantic.”
He Yihui silently walked closer.
“Companions through thick and thin, to grow old together,” Guo Anle sighed, “Yi Hui, do you think we could be as lucky as them when we’re old, to always have soone by our side, no matter where we go?”
“Don’t you plan to get married?”
He Yihui spoke up.
Guo Anle was taken aback for a mont, then shook his head with a smile, “Of course not.
I’m not an advocate of celibacy.
Besides, it’s not up to to decide.
Even if I wanted to, my family wouldn’t agree.”
“Then what’s there to worry about.”
Guo Anle smirked, “It’s easy to find soone to stay with you, but difficult to find soone who truly knows you.”
He Yihui didn’t offer any comnt, turning to look out over the edge of the Iron Tower.
“Are you and Jiang Chen in a relationship?”
Guo Anle turned too, standing beside her, half a step away.
He Yihui could have used this as an opportunity to stir the pot, but instead, she replied candidly, “No.”
Guo Anle turned his head in surprise.
“…Then what is your relationship now?”
He Yihui didn’t answer.
“Sorry.”
Guo Anle did not press further, enjoying the sweeping view and speaking gently, “I’m leaving.”
He Yihui turned to look at him, “Why not stay a little longer?”
Guo Anle shook his head with a smile, “I’ve already stayed quite a while, and my family has been urging to return.”
He Yihui drew her gaze back and fell silent again.
Guo Anle looked at her strongly defined profile, “So before I leave, I wanted to see you.”
He Yihui still didn’t speak.
Guo Anle didn’t mind and chuckled self-deprecatingly, “I thought you might not agree to et, but I’m glad you didn’t make lose face.”
“Will you get scolded when you go back?”
He Yihui asked.
Guo Anle let out a laugh of resignation, “What’s there to scold, the assistance to your He family wasn’t my decision.
And it’s not money we can’t recover.
Surely your He family won’t deny the debt.”
“Thank you.”
“…”
Facing his beloved’s thanks, Guo Anle’s expression turned complex, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
After a mont of silence, he chuckled, “Why so formal.
It’s not like I’ve been much help, rather I’ve probably caused you quite so trouble, right?”
He glanced tentatively at the person beside him.
But that profile showed hardly any ripple of emotion.
“I’m not troubled, but I’m glad you’ve co to terms with it.”
Guo Anle stopped himself from saying more.
Sotis being too honest really isn’t a good thing.
But this girl was different; never one to beat around the bush, perhaps that’s what made her unforgettable to him.
“Who told you I’ve co to terms with it.”
Guo Anle joked, “I’m just going back for a while.
Who knows, maybe in a short while, I’ll be back again, especially since you’re still single, aren’t you.”
He Yihui remained silent.
Even though he felt he should maintain so dignity at the end, Guo Anle still couldn’t help himself.
“Can you tell what exactly draws you to him?
You’ve known him for less than a month.”
It wasn’t about not being able to lose.
But losing to soone so recently t, anyone would likely find it sowhat hard to swallow.
Was it just for the money?
That man was very wealthy, a fact made quite clear during the first auction.
Not to compare him with himself, but even against the entire Guo Family, he might hold his ground.
For other won, this indeed would be a sufficient reason to give their heart,
But she was He Yihui.
Even if she might act a part due to family pressure, with her character, if she didn’t truly have feelings for the other person, she would never engage in such intimacy.
Faced with Guo Anle’s intense gaze, He Yihui fell silent for a mont, then simply shook her head.
“I can’t answer that question for you.”
Guo Anle gave a bitter smile and asked no further.
For another woman, it might be avoidance or equivocation, but not for her.
With her personality, she would never shy away from anything.
She’d say what was on her mind clearly and give you a clear attitude.
Her silence now only ant one thing.
–She didn’t have a clear answer in her heart.
Makes sense.
Feelings are perhaps the most mysterious things in the world, defying easy explanation.
“Alright.”
Guo Anle exhaled, “Don’t get wrong, I have no ulterior motives.
Just speaking as a friend who’s known you for so long, I feel I should remind you to be a bit more rational with your emotions.
You’ve never been in love before, so it’s even easier to be carried away…”
