Qi Changfeng felt that something slipped from his hand, so he realized that he had been holding Gu Yan’s hand.

While avoiding the chase of the drunk, although Gu Yan ran fast out of scare, she couldn’t sprint for long as she was still a woman who didn’t exercise quite often.

She felt a little exhausted soon. But Qi Changfeng often exercised, so he was still in good physical fitness.

When he saw that Gu Yan couldn’t run fast, he immediately grabbed her hand and ran. They were all thinking about escape from the drunk then, and didn’t think too much.

But now that they had escaped successfully, they naturally realized it.

Gu Yan’s scream was not scary but filled with shyness, so it still embarrassed them.

“You…”

Gu Yan didn’t know what to say. She had thought that she wouldn’t mind that Qi Changfeng had grabbed her hand, because she wasn’t so reserved or particularly traditional. However, she had no clue why her face had become flushed and hot.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Changfeng was also a little embarrassed. Hearing Gu Yan’s words, he immediately answered. But Gu Yan just whispered.

“No… Nothing.”

Qi Changfeng suddenly didn’t know how to reply. “All right.” He replied stiffly.

Now neither of them knew what to say next.

After a few minutes that seemed long as several centuries to them, Gu Yan broke the deadlock and asked.

“Why did you think about escape?”

“What?” Qi Changfeng was still lost in the embarrassment, so he didn’t hear her question at all.

“No, ah, I mean why didn’t you choose to call for help? Those people were just nothing if you asked for help from your family.” Gu Yan asked in a fluster.

However, she immediately realized that he would get her wrong and added.

“I didn’t mean that. I was just curious why you chose to escape when the trouble could be solved by your family.”

But her explanation was more like saying that Qi Changfeng was timid. He ran away without daring to ask for help from his family. Wasn’t that a mockery of him?

Gu Yan was even more nervous after realizing that, and stammered.

“Well, you know… I didn’t mean that. I…”

“That’s all right.” Qi Changfeng shook his head as saying that he didn’t mind her words.

“What you said is the truth. If I had asked for help from my family, I wouldn’t have escaped.”

Indeed, Qi Changfeng could call over ten times more people than the drunk and his cohorts just by one phone call. In that case, they wouldn’t have to escape. It would be those people who should apologize to them.

However, Qi Changfeng just didn’t want to do so.

Although he felt that it was great when he ran and laughed with Gu Yan a while ago, it was not because of this that he chose to escape.

After deliberating for a long time, Qi Changfeng explained.

“I just don’t want to use my family’s power anymore.”

Although Gu Yan was confused about Qi Changfeng’s answer, she seemed to understand what he meant somehow.

Gu Yan thought she couldn’t guess correctly his thoughts and it might be the best way for him to say it out himself.

Therefore, she decided to continue listening.
