nGu Xin seemed to react as well. “I drove here. Let me drive you.”

nActually, he should have rejected her.

nBut Di An nodded.

nThe moment he nodded, he saw Gu Xin’s repelled expression.

nMost of the time, such things were just said out of politeness.

nIt was not that Di An did not understand.

nHe sat down in Gu Xin’s front passenger seat.

nGu Xin did not drive well, but she knew her limits and drove slowly.

nThe car drove on the quiet streets of Wen City.

nGu Xin was a girl who liked to talk, but she was so quiet in front of him.

n“Is your arm alright?” she finally asked.

nShe felt that he would remain silent all the way if she kept quiet.

nShe really did not like such a cold and cheerless environment.

nShe liked a cheerful environment.

nA bustling aura.

n“It’s nothing serious, just a mild fracture. I’ll be fine after removing the cast,” Di An said calmly.

n“It should be inconvenient, right?” Gu Xin asked.

n“It’s alright. I can handle it.”

n“Thank you so much for what happened that day.”

n“It’s nothing much. If it were any other customer of mine, I would have done the same thing. Don’t think too much.” Di An explained.

nGu Xin nodded.

nShe did not know what to feel either.

nIn any case, she was always confused whenever she met him.

nShe really regretted it now. Why did she find out that he liked her in the past? If she had not, they would have had so much fun together!

nSilence ensued in the car.

nDi An looked out the window and took a deep breath. “Gu Xin, actually, I…”

n“Di An,” she suddenly called out.

nHe looked at her silently.

n“It’s a nice night tonight, isn’t it?” She was dying to bang her head against the wall upon saying this.

nHow could she change the topic so awkwardly!

nHow pretentious!

nDi An did not show much of a reaction. He just smiled and nodded. “Mm, not bad.”

nBut this time, no one said a word.

nFortunately, the journey was short.

nThey arrived at the Di family’s villa in less than ten minutes.

nAt this point, a black Mercedes was parked at the entrance of the Di family’s villa. A man alighted in a suit. It was Di Yi, who had just gotten off work. Di Yi had spotted Gu Xin’s car as well and headed over.

nWhen he got close, he saw Di An getting off the car.

nHis expression changed, and a trace of fierceness flashed past his eyes.

n“Manman is having her wedding photoshoot tonight, so she wanted me to have dinner with her. Di An happened to be around, and I’m sending him home on the way after dinner.” Gu Xin got off as well. “It’s not convenient for Di An to drive.”

nGu Xin knew that Di Yi did not like her being with Di An.

nMen would not like it if his wife was alone with someone she had an ambiguous relationship with.

nMoreover, Di Yi’s relationship with Di An was a little strange.

nDi Yi’s mother had passed on very early on, and Di An’s mother had gotten pregnant with Di An even before her death. Di Yi had harbored a grudge against Di An, and after Di Yi’s mother had passed on, Di An’s mother had brought Di An back to the Di family. Di Yi’s parents seemed to especially like Di An’s mother and were especially biased toward Di An.

nFor all these years, Di Yi and Di An had never had a good relationship.

n“Yes, I just happened to bump into her while I was helping Lu Manman with her wedding photoshoot,” Di An said in a natural tone. He looked at them and continued saying, “I won’t disturb you guys. I’ll get going first. Thank you, Gu Xin.”

n“You’re welcome.” Gu Xin smiled back. It was just a polite greeting, but it sounded so distant to her.

nDi An walked toward the villa naturally.

nAfter taking a few steps.

nHe turned around.

nIn the distance, the two of them were hugging as Di Yi kissed Gu Xin.

nIt was a forceful kiss.

nThey looked so inseparable.

nDi An glanced at them, then turned away to go on his way.

nAfter going through so much, the pain was not so obvious anymore. He actually admired himself for learning to accept things and quietly accepting things without anyone knowing.

nBut that sentence.

n“Gu Xin, I…” He’d wanted to say that he sincerely wished her and Di Yi well.
