She couldn't help but turn her head, and she saw Gu Chi's handsome figure. For a moment, she was stunned.

From this angle, Gu Chi's eyelashes were long and thick, and his obsidian eyes. As a girl, Su KeXin couldn't help but feel inferior after seeing them.

Looking into Gu Chi's focused black eyes, she couldn't help but speak softly: "Gu Chi, can I ask you a question?"

Gu Chi focused intently on applying medicine to her wound, not lifting his head. He only hummed in response.

"That necklace's owner...was your ex-girlfriend, wasn't she?" Su Ke Xin mustered her courage and spoke.

Gu Chi paused, holding the cotton swab in his hand for a moment, but quickly continued wiping and let out another "um" sound.

Su Ke Xin didn't expect Gu Chi to be so open about this topic. Relieved, she couldn't help but ask, "You must really like her, right?"

This time, Gu Chi finally looked up.

His dark eyes were bottomless, Su Kexin couldn't see the expression in his eyes, she just heard him say calmly, "Su Kexin, why do you ask that?"

Su Kexin suddenly regretted asking too many questions, she could only whisper: "No, I just feel that every time you look at that necklace, you look very sad."

Gu Zhi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he quickly lowered his head and continued to apply medicine to Su Ke Xin.

Just when Su Kexin thought Gu Chi didn't want to continue the topic, Gu Chi opened his mouth again.

"I'm sorry to her."

Su Ke Xin was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, realizing that Gu Chi was saying that she owed Cheng Ruo'er an apology?

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... that ten years ago, he truly abandoned Cheng Ruor for no reason, which is why he feels sorry for her?

No.

Impossible.

She shook her head, not daring to ask further, and the topic died there.

……

On the other side.

A traditional family home.

Mr. Gu, being old after all, went to bed early.

But Gu Xiao, was still in the study. Before him stood a rather hunched figure, its face buried in shadow, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Are you serious?" Gu Xiao's face was now extremely gloomy, almost dripping with ink, "This cripple, Gu Xiao, really... with his newly married wife, is that it?"

"Absolutely true." The person at the desk replied in a serious tone, "Master Gu has always been concerned about this matter, and I have observed it carefully. It should be correct."

"Damn it!" Gu Xiao slammed his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with anger. "So, you're saying if things go smoothly, that woman named Su Ke Xin could still be carrying Gu Chi's...that disabled wretch?"

"Theoretically possible." The person at the desk replied respectfully.

“This absolutely can’t happen!” Gu Xiao’s face was contorted in fury. After thinking for a moment, he said, “So, I’ll figure out a way to stall Gu Chi tomorrow, and you... find a way to get rid of that woman named Su Keixin.”

That person frowned, "Young Master, why not just deal with Gu Chi directly?"

"You think I don't want to?" Gu Xiao sneered, "But you also know how much the old man cares about Gu Chi. Ten years ago, during that kidnapping case, he almost turned the whole city of S upside down. So we can't just move against him casually, but Su Ke Xin is different. She's just an outsider, even if something happens and they trace it back to us, the old man wouldn't do anything."

"Okay, I understand."

"There's more." Gu Xiao suddenly thought of something, his face darkened. "About this matter, absolutely don't let Xiaohan know."

The man's eyes flickered. "Yes."

"Go away."

"Yes, young master."

……

Su Ke Xin went to the magazine office the next day. After working for a while, she received a text message from Gu Chi saying that he had to go on a business trip and asked her to remember to change her dressing and take care of herself.

She obediently replied, "Understood," and then began working on her own tasks.

The printing deadline is approaching, and the magazine company is in chaos. Everyone has been working overtime for days just to finish everything.

Su Keqin was the last one to leave the magazine, it was past 12 o'clock. Ironically, there seemed to be a concert at the stadium next to their magazine office, causing traffic congestion and making it impossible to hail a cab.

Everyone was discussing getting together to build a car. When they asked Su Kexin where she lived, she couldn't answer.
