Xia Yinian originally didn’t look very well, but, seeing Yu Wanqing’s infuriating expression, her mood suddenly improved.
"Alright." The girl nodded and picked up her pace.
Chi He’s words were very clear; the Gu Family’s private matters were to be kept within the Gu Family, and this woman, who was rumored to be soon engaged to the Seventh Young Master, had just been driven out.
It was obvious that the Seventh Young Master didn’t regard Yu Wanqing as part of the Gu Family at all.
Now, it could be said that the truth was out in the open. Rumors should not be believed, and it seems there is so truth to that.
Chi He’s first sentence was equivalent to fiercely slapping Yu Wanqing across the face.
Before she could react, Chi He added another line, "Miss Niannian, don’t keep the Seventh Young Master waiting."
To others, these words sounded entirely ordinary—of course, the Seventh Young Master was too busy to waste any ti.
But to Yu Wanqing, it sounded as if the Seventh Young Master couldn’t wait for Xia Yinian any longer.
Thinking about how he couldn’t wait to drive her out yet hurried Xia Yinian in, Yu Wanqing was so furious that her heart nearly exploded.
Only after everyone had disappeared from her sight did she let out an "Oh" and sat back down in her seat.
After leaving the first-class cabin, Chi He walked Xia Yinian to about two ters away from the private cabin before stopping in a suitable spot.
"Miss Niannian, may I ask a favor of you?" he turned to look at Xia Yinian, his voice barely audible.
"What is it?" Chi He suddenly beca cautious, which was not sothing Xia Yinian often saw.
This guy... it’s unknown if he had been following his Uncle too much, but his speech was quite sharp, and it was already very good that Yu Wanqing didn’t vomit blood just now.
"That is... Miss Niannian may not know, the reason for today’s activity to Yaoshan is actually..."
"Arranged by Uncle?" Xia Yinian frowned slightly, interrupting Chi He.
Chi He t Xia Yinian’s gaze with a bit of disbelief, but quickly caught on and nodded.
"Ah, Miss Niannian already knows?"
This was a guess by Xia Yinian, but when Chi He confird it, she felt sowhat moved.
This man was such that he would never go back on his word.
In Uncle’s world, there was nothing that couldn’t be done.
He promised he could reasonably take her to Yaoshan, and in just one night, he made it happen.
However, was Chi He hesitating just to tell her this fact?
Xia Yinian pursed her lips and nodded.
"I got it; please pass on my thanks to Uncle," she said and then turned to leave.
Her mind was sowhat confused. Why did Uncle have to be so good to her? Was it just for her health?
If that were the case, should she be grateful? Impossible!
Thinking that trading her body in exchange for Uncle’s compassion would only make Xia Yinian feel extrely pathetic.
Therefore, her gratitude was just that—gratitude without any additional affection.
Even if there was, she could ignore it.
"Miss Niannian, please wait," Chi He called out, unable to remain calm as he watched her walk away.
Without surprise, there would be no bonus. If he couldn’t even invite her over, it wouldn’t just be a matter of working for nothing this month.
Xia Yinian turned to look at Chi He, her brows slightly knit.
"What’s wrong?" Wasn’t he supposed to tell her about this?
Chi He was usually decisive and efficient. Why was he behaving like this today?
Hesitating like this and not willing to speak clearly was making her start to feel a little jittery.
"What exactly is the matter?"
