Gu Ruoyun had also stopped in her tracks because of Gu Ruoyun's hand holding her back. Gu Linxi turned around to look at Gu Xiufeng, looking somewhat puzzled at her. After all, he had walked the perfect distance, so why did she stop?

It wasn't just because of what Gu Linxi had said just now. There were even some who had faintly seen a person. They couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

"What's wrong?" Gu Linxi stood beside Gu Wei and followed Gu Wei's line of sight. She could only see people coming and going; nothing else was out of the ordinary.

Gu Wei was slightly surprised to see this person here. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was just a normal occurrence. What really surprised Gu Wei was the look Liu Xiuyun's grandmother threw over. It was hard to describe that look. However, when she looked over, Gu Wei felt all the hairs on his body standing up, and a chill was spreading through his four limbs.

Gu Linxi didn't see that person, so she naturally didn't have any feelings for him. She only felt that Gu Wei Wei Wei's hands were a little cold, as if something scared her out of her wits. The recent events had been rather chaotic. Gu Linxi suspected that Gu Wei Wei had once again seen something unclean, which was why his hands were so cold.

Old Madam Sun had only appeared for a short while before disappearing into the crowd. She didn't plan on doing anything to Gu Jingxi here, not to mention that little girl, Gu Wei, was also by his side. Her six children liked Gu Wei so much that she wouldn't do anything to them. However, if Gu Wei had been by Gu Linxi's side all this time, Old Madam Sun might have also steeled her heart.

The gaze from before had caused Gu Wei to feel extremely uneasy. Her heart was like a fallen leaf being blown by the wind, up and down. It was only after a long time that she seemed to have heard Gu Linxi's voice. When she turned her head to look at Gu Linxi and saw the puzzled expression on Gu Lingxi's face, Gu Wei had only casually said that nothing had happened. With her heart full of worry, Gu Wei always felt that that gaze did not seem to be filled with goodwill.

As for Liu Xiuyun's grandma, Old Mrs. Sun, Gu Wei had only come into contact with them before, so she did not know much about them. It could even be said that she was unfamiliar with them. She didn't know whether Old Madam Sun's unkind gaze had been directed at her or Gu Jingxi, but she guessed that it was more likely that it had been directed at Gu Jingxi. After all, if she was to thoroughly investigate Liu Xiuyun's situation, then it would be impossible for Gu Linxi to escape responsibility.

For someone as mysterious as him, it was impossible for him not to worry about the trump card the other party possessed.

"Ling Xi, go out for a while and try your best to have Xie Siqian with you." In Gu Ruoyun's heart, Xie Siqiang could be said to be a mysterious character. With her by his side, he could somewhat relax. This was because, no matter what happened, Xie Siqian would always properly protect Gu Linxi.

Gu Linxi was somewhat at a loss. She didn't know why Gu Wei Wei had suddenly said this. Why did she try to keep Xie Siqiang by her side? Furthermore, she had his work to do, so how could she possibly stay with him forever? Gu Linxi really didn't know what Gu Ruoyun had seen before that made her say these words.

She didn't know how to explain this matter to Gu Lin Xi. This was just one of her feelings. She always felt that Old Madam Sun would do something to Gu Linxi. However, there was nothing wrong with being careful. Grabbing a handful of her own hair, Gu Wei gave up trying to explain the reason to Gu Linxi and patted him on the head.

"After all, it's for your own good. If you go out alone, what if that person follows you again?" Gu Wei gave himself a good reason. Although that person's danger level had not decreased to much, Gu Wei was more worried about what would happen to Old Madam Sun, as compared to Old Madam Sun's gaze just now.

It shouldn't be, right? It was just a coincidence that Gu Linxi was thinking like this. Furthermore, how could she be on guard like this? Could it be that she would be together with Xie Si Er everyday? That was obviously not practical. Most importantly, Gu Linxi felt that although Gu Wei Wei's words made sense, she didn't really believe him. If she was worried that Jiang Jiayi was following her, Gu Wei wouldn't be as nervous as she was now.

However, since Gu Ruoyun had already said so, she might say more if they continued questioning her. However, Gu Xiangxi didn't want to pursue the matter any further. If Gu Ruoyun didn't want to say it, then she definitely had a reason for doing so. As her friend, Gu Linxi didn't want to force Gu Ruoyun into a corner.

Nodding her head, Gu Linxi acted as though she had agreed. However, it was impossible to do in actual combat. She wasn't Xie Si's pendant, so how could she have been stuck with him all this while?

Seeing that Gu Linxi had agreed, Gu Wei slightly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, what she couldn't get out of her mind was the gaze that Old Madam Sun had cast at her earlier.

In her heart, she no longer had much interest in shopping today. However, Gu Wei didn't want to show it on her face and forced herself to go shopping. However, if she really had no such thing as interest, she wouldn't be able to force herself to do it. In a short while, Gu Linxi was able to see through it as well. It was obvious that Gu Ruoyun was full of worries, and that she didn't want to go shopping.

Pulling Gu Wei back, Gu Linxi shook her head.

"Slight, let's find a place to rest." Seeing that Gu Ruoyun couldn't bear to be so reluctant, since she didn't want to go shopping, she might as well find a place to drink a drink and adjust her mood.

Gu Ruoyun had only thought that it was because she was tired, but she hadn't realized that her expression had betrayed her. Hearing that Gu Linxi wanted to take a break, Gu Wei slightly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, her mind was a mess with all sorts of thoughts, and she still had to look at some clothes. Right now, she wanted to find a place to have a good rest. He hadn't expected that Gu Linxi would agree with her own thoughts. Gu Wei couldn't help but smile.

The place they chose was also a quiet place. They only came here to find a place to chat and drink some drinks. Gu Linxi and Gu Wei Wei each held a drink in their hands and found a relatively remote place to sit down. They approached the corner and spoke softly, but no one noticed them. Gu Linxi drank a mouthful of the beverage, only to see that Gu Wei Wei's mind had begun to wander again.

Lightly knocking on the table, Gu Linxi asked in a small voice, "What happened to you today?"

Upon hearing the sound of knocking on the table, Gu Wei regained her senses. She took a deep breath, bit the straw, and said indistinctly, "It's nothing. It's just a matter of work."

Gu Linxi simply wanted to laugh. Did Gu Ruoyun really think that it was easy to fool her? Even if he wanted to find a good reason, he would have to find one.

Just as Gu Linxi was about to inquire further, she saw that there was a person at the other table who had been looking at him the entire time. He rubbed his face, not quite understanding what was going on.
