Gu Zi was utterly speechless. Was Gong Xin clueless or just pretending to be? She knew full well how Jin Long felt about her, yet she somehow remained oblivious to the fact that her actions might break his heart.
Poor Jin Long—falling for someone this emotionally dense was truly tragic.

With that thought, Gu Zi decided she had done enough for the day and took her leave.
Gong Xin only got into the car once Gu Zi had pedaled off into the distance. But even as she settled into her seat, she found herself overwhelmed by Wu Hao's mother's excessive enthusiasm.
By the time they reached the courtyard, she grabbed the first excuse she could think of—claiming she needed rest—and promptly escaped the clutches of the Wu family.
