Chapter 386: Untangling the knot in her heart
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After talking to Gu Xiao, the uneasiness and panic that had been lingering in Ji Chen’s heart since the dream finally subsided a little.
Although he still did not know what Gu Xiao had experienced and why the situation was like this now… he did not intend to investigate these things in detail.
Since Gu Xiao was unwilling to admit it openly, she probably did not want to talk about the past at all.
This… was good too.
The two of them stayed in the private room for a while more before getting up and walking out.
Ji Chen got into his car. Before he left, he said to Gu Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. I will try my best to hold Mom and Dad back and not let them disturb you again.”
He had already asked just now and knew that Gu Xiao would follow Chu An to the Chu family this time.
This decision was a good outcome for both Gu Xiao and him.
If Gu Xiao was destined not to be loved by her biological parents in this lifetime, then it was not a bad result to feel similar love from Mr Chu and Mrs Chu. As for Ji Gao and Jiang He… it was better to appear less in front of Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment and then nodded gratefully at Ji Chen. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to pay more attention in the future.” Ji Chen nodded. After taking a deep look at Gu Xiao, he turned around and drove away.
When Ji Chen’s car disappeared at the corner of the road, Chu An walked out from nowhere and slowly walked to Gu Xiao’s side.
He followed Gu Xiao for a while and looked in the direction where Ji Chen left.
Then, he turned his attention to Gu Xiao.
“What happened?” Chu An asked in a low voice.
Gu Xiao came back to her senses and glanced at Chu An, who was standing beside her. She reached out to hold Chu An’s hand, and then her soft fingers forcefully inserted into Chu An’s palm, interlocking with his fingers.
“We’ll talk about this when we get back.”
Chu An was a little surprised by Gu Xiao’s initiative, but he was also happy because of Gu Xiao’s actions.
He even shook his hand that was holding Gu Xiao’s in a childish manner. After acknowledging her, he led Gu Xiao towards his car.
On the way back, Gu Xiao seemed to have completely come back to her senses. She glanced at Chu An.
“You’ve been following us?”
Chu An’s eyes were looking ahead. After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, he turned to look at Gu Xiao, then quickly turned back.
“Not really. I also ate at this restaurant. After I finished eating, I asked the waiter and found out that you hadn’t come out. I’ve been waiting for you outside.”
He and Gu Xiao had eaten in this restaurant many times, so all the waiters in the restaurant basically knew them.
When he asked the waiter for information about Gu Xiao, the waiter hesitated for a moment before telling him about Gu Xiao.
This situation could not be considered “have been following”. He would definitely not admit to this “have been”!
Seeing Chu An say this with a serious expression, Gu Xiao felt a little amused. However, since the other party refused to admit it, she could not force him to admit it.
However, she had to admit that the conversation with Ji Chen just now and the bad memories from her first life were completely thrown to the back of her mind because of Chu An’s words.
She lowered her eyes and chuckled softly.
When Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s laughter, the huge rock in his heart was completely lifted.
The two of them returned to the villa. As soon as they sat on the sofa, Gu Xiao told them what had just happened between her and Ji Chen.
After Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, he didn’t sit properly to begin with, and he almost fell off the sofa because of these words.

After Chu An stabilized himself, he looked at Gu Xiao in disbelief. “Xiaoxiao, you mean that for some reason, Brother Chen found out about your first life?” To be honest, he had never thought about this question, nor did he think that others would find out about these things. But now… Gu Xiao told him that Ji Chen also knew about these things?
Wasn’t this his and Gu Xiao’s unique experience?
“Brother didn’t say it explicitly, but his demeanor, expression, and some of the things he said proved my guess.”
Especially what Ji Chen said to her afterwards, which further proved that Ji Chen probably knew something.
However, she was not certain how he found out, how much he had found out and when he had found out..
