Gu Linxi's brows twitched, her fingers resting on the transparent cup that contained the juice as she slowly traced the traces on the cup and stroked it. Since Zhao Haoyu was so concerned about losing face in front of him, Gu Linxi was somewhat surprised. She had thought that Zhao Haoyu was only interested in her for the sake of appearances. After all, he didn't have a deep understanding of a person, so how could he talk about feelings?

"Ling Xi, I know that you don't have any intentions in that regard towards me." Zhao Haoyu looked at her and continued, "But I still want to strive for an opportunity to pursue you. I feel that if I were to miss you like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"…" Gu Linxi lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Haoyu.

Was this considered a silent rejection? Zhao Haoyu also felt somewhat bored, but he still had a few traces of elegance, at least with a smile on his face.

"You won't even give me a chance? Ling Xi, you sure are ruthless. "

Gu Linxi raised her head and said with a wry smile, "I know full well that it's impossible, but why are you still giving the opponent a chance?" Mr. Zhao is a very good man, but not for me. Furthermore, I have a person in my heart, so I cannot give anyone a chance in this situation. "

After saying these words, Gu Linxi couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty in her heart. At the same time, she also heaved a sigh of relief. She wasn't good at handling these kinds of things. To be able to cut through the mess quickly was the most correct thing to do.

"Then can we be friends?"

Gu Linxi hesitated for a moment before nodding. If it was just a friend, Gu Linxi wouldn't have refused.

"Let's eat first, otherwise these food will become cold in a while." Zhao Haoyu picked up his chopsticks, looking somewhat absent-minded from the meal. Zhao Haoyu had a rather thorny feeling towards a woman like Gu Linxi who refused to get involved. He had always felt that his ever-victorious methods would fall victim to this woman called Gu Linxi.

"Actually, I saw something I shouldn't have seen in the mirror yesterday. That's why I bumped into a tree." As Zhao Haoyu was picking up the piece of fish, he suddenly said this.

Gu Linxi stopped her chopsticks and asked with an unnatural tone, "Is that so?"

"However, now that I think about it, it should be my misconception. I might have been too busy recently, which was why I had that misconception." How could there be ghosts in this world? Don't you think so? "

"That may not be so. Perhaps they exist by our side. It's just that they live in another dimension and we cannot see them."

Zhao Haoyu looked at Gu Linxi with a slightly astonished expression. He had thought that a person who didn't have the slightest bit of fear after seeing a ghost film wouldn't believe in ghosts and gods. Never would he have thought that Gu Linxi actually believed in this.

"Is it strange?" Look at me like this. "

"Not really. I'm just surprised." Zhao Haoyu rested his chin on his hand, and with his other hand, he gently tapped the table. He asked with great interest, "Then, do you think I've coincidentally seen some creatures from another dimension?"

Gu Linxi was stunned for a moment. "Maybe, maybe it's true."

"That's funny, I don't believe that anyway. If I believe these things and do too much of them, I won't be able to sleep soundly in the middle of the night. " Zhao Haoyu said half-truthfully, but when Gu Linxi heard these words, she only thought that Zhao Haoyu was joking.

Blinking his eyes, a somewhat relaxed expression appeared on Gu Linxi's face. It was true that he would feel at ease chatting with Zhao Haoyu. She didn't need to worry too much about it. He only needed to express his thoughts.

When this scene entered Jiang Jiayi's eyes, he felt a little upset. Originally, he'd promised that he wouldn't follow her, but he still hadn't been able to do so in the end. At home, as long as he thought of the fact that Gu Linxi was watching a movie with a man who had ulterior motives towards her, Jiang Jiayi would be unable to calm his heart.

From Jiang Jiayi's point of view, it was very rare for Gu Linxi to be able to act so relaxed in front of him. She had almost never seen someone as relaxed and at ease before. In front of him, Gu Linxi's eyes were always filled with a dense fog that couldn't be dispersed, carrying with it traces of worry like the autumn rain. He greedily looked at the current Gu Lingxi, and was also incomparably jealous of Zhao Haoyu.

If it was possible, he really wanted to … Wish I could... Kill him. Jiang Jiayi calmed down after this vicious thought flashed across his mind. He had already agreed to Gu Lingxi's terms, and also believed in his character. Therefore, he couldn't touch upon such matters.

Otherwise, there would be no wall in this world that would not leak through to the wind. If Gu Linxi were to find out, then she would definitely draw a clear line between them.

Her stomach was bloated from eating so much. Gu Linxi had originally wanted to pay the bill, but how could Zhao Haoyu ask a lady to pay for it?

"If others find out that I actually let a woman treat me, then I won't have any face left."

Gu Linxi had been completely convinced by these words, and could only helplessly accept it. However, how could she repay this favor? She had originally wanted to treat him to a meal, but the other party had instead treated her to a meal. The depressed expression on Gu Linxi's face was almost impossible to conceal.

"I'll send you home. Last time, there was an accident and it should have gone smoothly this time."

Zhao Haoyu's words were absolutely unintentional, but the speaker had unintentionally listened to him with her own heart. Upon hearing his words, Gu Linxi couldn't help but look around. In the end, Gu Linxi still shook her head. If Jiang Jiayi suddenly appeared and scared the other party again, it would truly be exciting and exciting.

"No, I can just do it myself." Gu Lingxi had rejected Zhao Haoyu. She was just worried that Jiang Jiayi would suddenly appear again, and then another car accident would follow.

"Don't worry, my driving skills are actually very good. Last time was really just an accident." Zhao Haoyu thought that Gu Lingxi was worried about his driving skills, but if he hadn't been frightened, he wouldn't have lost control.

"There's really no need. I want to walk alone. It has nothing to do with anything else, and I believe in your driving skills. " She really didn't want the same incident to happen again.

Zhao Haoyu held back his temper and was repeatedly rejected. In his heart, Zhao Haoyu had long been a bit impatient. However, this world still owed Zhao Haoyu the title of Shadow Emperor, so Zhao Haoyu definitely wouldn't lose his composure so easily in front of Gu Jingxi.

As usual, Zhao Haoyu said with a faint smile, "It looks like I don't have the honor to send that beauty home today. Be careful on your way. When we get there, remember to send me a message. Otherwise, I'll worry about you. "

Gu Linxi lowered her head in embarrassment. She truly felt that Zhao Haoyu was using his words to tease her all the time. If she had met Zhao Haoyu earlier, perhaps she really wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation. Zhao Haoyu was like a delicious fish as he emitted a fragrant aroma, constantly luring himself.

A 'hehe' sound was emitted from Zhao Haoyu's throat, and his mood also became better because of the shy look Gu Lingxi had, which even made his ears turn red. It really was true. People couldn't help but want to take a bite out of it.
