Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu was stunned by his sudden change of behavior. Soon, she heard the door open next door. Apparently, he really went to the next room. Was he angry? Was it because of her earlier rejection? She listened carefully to try to ascertain what had happened. However, the sound insulation here was excellent, and almost no movement could be heard from next door. However, she suspected that he was taking a bath.

She sighed softly and did not feel right. This person was too proud! He had completely changed his attitude because she rejected his approach. Was it somehow because of the question she asked about the illusion she had? Although the picture in the illusion could not be seen clearly, she felt that it was the two of them in the scene. Unless the man in the dream was not him? But if the man were not Di Fuyi, perhaps he would at least have been more curious?

Although she had no previous memories, she felt that she was not a flirty girl. She would never be intimate with any man that easily. She could see that she had been so close with the man in the illusion, so at the very least he was her fiancé. Could the illusion be just a dream? Or was Di Fuyi really not her former fiancé? Had he come here to fool her and take advantage of her? No, Di Fuyi was not such a person!

Although he was not always open and honest, he was definitely an outstanding man. There must be a lot of girls chasing after him wherever he went. Why would he waste so much effort to come and deceived her?

Gu Xijiu subconsciously looked at herself in the mirror. The girl in the mirror was beautiful, but she felt that there were more attractive women out there. After all, her skin was rough and wheat-colored at the moment. So why would Di Fuyi travel across the world just to find her? Things just did not make sense.

Trying to distract herself from these thoughts, Gu Xijiu sat on the bed and slowly dried her hair. She tried to listen to what Di Fuyi might be doing next door but still did not hear anything. She then bit her lips and tapped the wall with her fingers.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

After a while, she heard a few knocks from the other side as well. Di Fuyi had recently though her how to communicate using Morse code so that they could keep their conversations private.

Earlier, Gu Xijiu had asked him, “Are you sleeping?”

And the few knocks he returned were: “Going to; I am sleepy.”

Apparently, he did not want to communicate with her anymore. Gu Xijiu was rather unhappy with the turn of events. Was he too proud? Perhaps she shared the same sentiment. Frustrated, she covered herself with the quilt and tucked herself into bed. He can do whatever he wants; she did not want to care anymore!

It had been a long day, and she was exhausted. She actually fell asleep in just a brief moment.

It was late at night, but some people had not slept yet.

“City owner, madam has asked you to go over.” Ye Ling had just returned to his bedroom, and there was a report from the maid outside.

Ye Ling knitted his eyebrows and rolled his eyes. He was impatient, but he still answered, “Alright, I will go soon.”

“Madam said that she wants to see you now.” The maid did not give up.

Ye Ling was obviously frustrated. He clenched his fists. “Fine! I will go now.”
