When Lin Jixue came out to greet him, Gu Xun didn't feel the least bit of tenderness. Instead, he found her deeply calculating.
They had no prior interactions, yet Lin Jixue's actions created a misleading impression for others.
It was as if they shared a deep connection.
'She's clearly trying to mislead everyone!'
As Lin Jixue made one inappropriate gesture after another, Gu Xun could no longer suppress his annoyance and nearly turned to leave.
The voice from a short distance away called out again, "Mr. Gu, is that you? I won't be returning to the main hall. Madam is still waiting for you, so please hurry along."
Gu Xun's brow furrowed even tighter.
'What trick is she playing now?'
The thought had barely formed when he heard Lin Jixue say in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, there are a couple of things I'd like to say to you. It won't take much of your time. Could we step aside to talk?"
'One moment she's telling me to hurry and see Mother, the next she wants a private word.'
