"But, did you have to blow things out of proportion like this?"
If what she had said before could be attributed to mere formalities, then this sentence was a clear accusation. Gu Sitian, not being a fool, promptly replied with a smile, "Are you referring to the incident where I dragged your kinsman Lu Yebai into this?"
As she spoke, she patted her, smiling, "Oh dear! How else could I possibly make him give up on Gu Qianqian? Think about it, now everyone knows Gu Qianqian's identity, even if he still liked her, he couldn't easily get close to her, could he?"
This was true, but Gu Sitian would not have acted in this way.
At the very least, she should have given herself a heads up before taking any action so she could plan accordingly and not be caught off guard like now, "Don't pretend as if you are genuinely concerned for me. I know exactly what you're up to."
