Qi Xiang followed behind Gu Xi, wanting to speak but holding back the entire way.
But she had always been a sharp and perceptive girl. Seeing Gu Xi in this state, it was clear she didn't want to talk, so Qi Xiang didn't press her.
When they returned to the surface, the small courtyard was completely empty. Not a soul was in sight—not even Ye Nan. Qi Xiang guessed that Mr. Ye must have had his reasons for not daring to face Gu Xi just yet and had probably already left.
Qi Xiang sighed silently. Just as the two of them walked out of the alley, they saw Wei Heng rushing over.
Wei Heng's worried gaze fell on Gu Xi. He was just about to speak when he saw Qi Xiang give him a slow shake of her head.
However, this didn't make Wei Heng feel relieved. Instead, his heart tightened.
The reason he had rushed over, fraught with worry, wasn't that he feared for Gu Xi's safety. It was that... whenever something related to people from her past came up, Gu Xi's emotions would become unstable.
