Chapter 457: Chapter 4: She Is Gu Xueli! And Also Gu Yuan! Quan Jin Saw It.

Was it really the first meeting...

"So do you want me to leave?"

Gu Yuan touched his chin and said, "You hate being controlled, so you should clearly understand what you need to do. Going to Hai City is for your education and experience. No matter what you do next, this trip to Hai City will definitely help in your future plans."

Quan Jin gave Gu Yuan a deep look, "You’re right."

"Of course," Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Quan Jin said, "Then come with me."

Gu Yuan pressed her lips together, her face turned pale.

The change in her expression was obvious at a glance, no need for careful observation.

Quan Jin’s heart sank. Some things can’t be thought about too deeply; it’s terrifying... But he couldn’t force her wishes, so he just asked, "Then can we reconcile?"

Gu Yuan answered without hesitation, "We’ll talk about it when you come back from Hai City."

He immediately said, "When my business in Hai City is finished, can I come to Sui City to find you?"

Gu Yuan nodded, "Of course you can."

She wasn’t trying to cut off all ties with him, just to separate for a while. What worried her now wasn’t revealing identities, but Chi Yu’s return.

"Do you mean it?" He was afraid of being lied to and didn’t quite believe it.

Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, Gu Yuan stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck, offering a proactive kiss on his crimson lips. It was just a fleeting touch, and when their lips parted, her hands were still around his neck. "I’ll wait for you to come back, Quan Jin."

This reassurance seemed like it had been given.

But it hadn’t fully settled in.

Stuck in his throat, uncomfortable.

Because now there was anticipation for a return, rather than not caring where he went.

However, certain things made him increasingly uneasy.

He gently said, "You don’t need to stand on your toes."

"Hm?"

He said, "Put your feet flat."

Following his words, Gu Yuan slowly lowered her tiptoes, not yet understanding the meaning of his words, when she saw him bend down and bow his head to kiss her.

He kissed passionately, the gentle intermingling of lips and teeth deepened gradually. He was clearly moved, causing Gu Yuan to feel a little emotional as well.

But in broad daylight, it wouldn’t be good if someone saw them.

So Gu Yuan pushed him away forcefully, speaking in a not very clear voice, "Stop, if you keep kissing, I’ll call the police and accuse you of harassment."

"..."

He was clearly unsatisfied, burying his face in her neck, chest trembling with a low laugh. "You tell me, are you a poppy that turns into a demon, making me addicted every time we touch?"

Gu Yuan answered him with action, giving a kiss on the edge of his ear.

Quan Jin suddenly stood up straight, his whole body seemingly electrified, the current spreading all over, reaching his limbs and bones. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you taking advantage of the fact that we’re outside now, that I don’t dare to do anything to you?"

Gu Yuan laughed so innocently, "I wanted to remind you, get ready to set off, the sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll return."

He carried away her bag, perfectly portraying the image of the best boyfriend, yet coldly scoffed, "You just can’t wait for me to leave early. Now we’re nothing to each other. When I’m in Hai City and call you, I won’t even have a legitimate reason, always facing the risk of you reporting me for molestation."

Gu Yuan was amused.

She thought to herself, going in for this trip and coming out, how did he become so amusing?

But picking up her daughter was a big deal and couldn’t be delayed any longer. She said, "I’ll take you to the airport. After dropping you off, I need to do some errands. Once I’m done, I’ll return to Sui City, and then I’ll send you my location from there."

"No need, otherwise it makes me seem too controlling. What if you start to hate me?" He said worriedly.

In response, Gu Yuan stabbed, "I already dislike you, even now."

Quan Jin: "..."

Gu Yuan said she would take him to the airport, and she really did. She watched him go through the check-in procedures and enter the security area, waved goodbye, and then immediately took a taxi to the old Quan family residence.

What Gu Yuan didn’t know was that after she left, Quan Jin came out of the airport.

...

When Gu Yuan arrived at the old Quan family residence, Quan Yin was already waiting for her outside the decorative arch gate.

After getting out of the car, Gu Yuan paid the fare.

Quan Yin had been sitting in the car. When he saw that she had arrived, he unhurriedly got out and, seeing Gu Yuan approach, said, "Why didn’t you give me a call? I could have come to pick you up."

What he said wouldn’t make her feel abrupt.

Gu Yuan approached and stood in front of Quan Yin, "This time, I should thank Mr. Quan for intervening."

Quan Yin smiled slightly, his smile so gentle that even the wind seemed softer. "I know Miss Gu specially came to Yanjing to pick up Suisui, but you were held back by that guy Quan Jin and couldn’t get away. Actually, it’s nothing. Mainly, I thought that Suisui must miss you a lot, and if we keep stalling for time, Suisui would probably make a fuss at the old residence."
