Chapter 2278: Su the Beauty’s Stubborn Denial: Not Caring

Gu Zhiqi listened to the name that came from the woman’s mouth, nodding slightly, "It’s quite nice."

Compared to a moment ago, the woman’s eyes held a brighter hue as she looked at Gu Zhiqi, speaking softly, "You, name?"

Gu Zhiqi: "My name is Gu Zhiqi."

Upon hearing this, the woman’s gaze flickered with a transient color of trance, then earnestly addressed Gu Zhiqi, "Qiqi."

After calling, she looked up at Gu Zhiqi, "Is it okay?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded, "As you wish."

Having said that, she stared at the woman for a few seconds, "Want to go out for a walk? It’s almost breakfast time?"

The woman hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "With you, together, always?"

After saying that, she paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Is it okay?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded, "It’s okay."

The woman was happy to hear this.

**

When Gu Zhiqi came in, she was alone, Su Yunling stayed outside and didn’t come in.

As Gu Zhiqi led the woman out of the room, outside were Su Yunling and Tang Yichen.

As soon as Gu Zhiqi appeared at the door, the two noticed her.

Looking at the woman clutching the corner of Gu Zhiqi’s clothes and slowly following behind, Su Yunling stayed silent.

Peach blossom eyes lazily squinted, staring at that hand for several seconds.

Perhaps sensing something, under Su Yunling’s gaze, the woman released the corner of Gu Zhiqi’s coat.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunling nonchalantly diverted his gaze toward Gu Zhiqi, "Did you find out anything?"

Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "She remembers nothing except the Wedding Dress, stone coffin, Ding Furnace."

Su Yunling paused upon hearing this, once more casting his gaze upon the woman, "So, are you going to keep her with you all the time?"

His tone clearly revealed displeasure.

Gu Zhiqi walked up to Su Yunling, took his hand, "Let her follow for a while."

"It’s fine, I didn’t say she couldn’t tag along." Su Yunling said to Gu Zhiqi with a face showing "I don’t mind at all," but his fingers were tugging at the corner of Gu Zhiqi’s clothes, inching out the part in the woman’s grasp.

Gu Zhiqi seemed to sense something, turning her head toward Su Yunling.

Su Yunling immediately released his grip, looking back at Gu Zhiqi, "It’s breakfast time, shall we eat?"

Gu Zhiqi stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled, slightly tiptoeing to pinch Su Yunling’s cheek.

Su Yunling: ?

Why the sudden cheek-pinching?

Gu Zhiqi stated earnestly, "Just for a while, when she gets better, she’ll be on her way."

Regarding Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi understands him well.

Back in the Mystic Realm, when they first met, Su Yunling was dressed as a woman, so he has always doubted Gu Zhiqi’s sexual orientation.

Regardless of gender, he maintains a tight guard.

Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s words, Su Yunling looked back at Gu Zhiqi, saying, "I don’t mind."

Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Yes, but I care."

Having said that, she took Su Yunling’s hand, heading outside the courtyard.

The woman, called a bit, followed closely behind Gu Zhiqi, and naturally, Tang Yichen followed too.

**

The woman trusted Gu Zhiqi deeply but was hostile to others, so Gu Zhiqi had to keep her by her side.

Although agreed to let her go after a while, the woman showed no signs of improvement, so Gu Zhiqi had to continue treating her.

Su Yunling was quite dissatisfied with this.

However, despite the dissatisfaction, there’s no way to send her away.

Thus, the woman stayed with Gu Zhiqi for three years in Central Continent City.

Five years later, as Central Continent City was rebuilt, Heavenly Domain Pavilion and Central Continent Academy were completed, and the passage to Nine Stars City was repaired.

The upgrade mission was announced completed that day, and Gu Zhiqi and the three set out back to Xia Country.
