Chapter 215: So This Was Her True Purpose
Some expressions in Gu Lingqian’s eyes finally faded away."Since you two are chatting, I won’t disturb you."
He ruffled Xia Yinian’s hair, looking completely indulgent.
"Take good care of your older sister. I’ll come find you later."
Xia Yinian could only passively nod, watching him leave.
Before long, Gu Lingqian returned to his own room, and the sound of his door closing could be heard from afar.
Xia Yinian then secretly heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door, and turned to look at Xia Chuxue, who had sat back down in her chair.
"How did it go? Trying to steal a man in the Gu Family, almost caught by Young Master Ling?"
Xia Chuxue giggled, staring at her still slightly flushed face, covering her lips: "I helped you, how are you going to repay me?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Xia Yinian walked over, raised her hand to wipe away, and realized her forehead was covered in sweat.
Just now, her guilt was real. In all her eighteen years, she never lied as much as she had these past few days.
But she never intended to.
Gu Beicheng kept pressing her, and Gu Lingqian kept doubting her.
If she could, she just wanted to quietly complete the year stipulated in her agreement with Gu Lingqian – after that, she would leave.
Is it tiring to spin lies every day?
Suddenly, a face loomed large in her field of view.
Xia Yinian was startled and immediately retreated: "Xia Chuxue, what are you doing?"
"Xia Yinian, you’re really lying to Mr. Ling, but why lie?"
She curled her lips, unveiling a smile she thought could charm anyone: "Hehe, Xia Yinian, you really stole a man, but who could this man be? Let me guess!"
She tapped her finger on her face, seemingly deep in thought.
"I heard that Seventh Young Master Gu is devastatingly handsome, with such a super Handsome guy, he surely wouldn’t fancy you, so it’s not the Seventh Young Master?"
"Hmm..." she continued to ponder, "The Gu Family also has a suitable Young Master Nan, heard he’s been staying at home these days as well, he’s quite a match for you!"
"And there’s Young Master Mo, but, Young Master Mo isn’t at the Gu Family’s home right now, is he?"
Xia Yinian didn’t want to deal with her, sat down on the sofa, and poured herself a glass of water.
Xia Chuxue, this woman, clearly wasn’t over Gu Lingqian at all. Her knowledge of the Gu Family members was even clearer than hers, someone who had lived in the Gu Family for quite a while.
Seeing that Xia Yinian ignored her, Xia Chuxue didn’t feel like guessing anymore.
"Anyway, you deceived Mr. Ling. You have another lover in the Gu Family."
She walked over and sat down opposite her, smiling faintly.
"I never thought of exposing you. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it just now, right?"
Xia Yinian still ignored her, and Xia Chuxue’s complexion began to look a bit unpleasant.
"Xia Yinian, don’t think I will really keep your secret. Let me tell you, if you make me unhappy, I will immediately tell Mr. Ling that it was you who begged me to lie!"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xia Yinian looked at her askance.
How could the feelings between sisters be good? To say they got along, Xia Chuxue had the nerve to speak it, and even Xia Yinian felt embarrassed.
Finally getting to the crux of the matter, the smile on Xia Chuxue’s lips suddenly looked pleasing.
"I don’t want much, just to stay in the Gu Family a little longer. You... go and tell Mr. Ling that you miss me, that you want me to stay here."
So that was her goal, no wonder she acted so kindly just now!
