"Since that's the case, then this one will take my leave first. I will go and support the lady when her restaurant opens."

"Then I'll thank Young Master first."

Gu Hua Jing's attitude was very polite, but she didn't even send out the parlour. Instead, she had the mansion's attendants escort the guests out.

After confirming that Han Xizhi had left, Gu Hua Jing rubbed her face. She didn't know if it was just an illusion, but she felt that Han Xizhi's attitude was a bit too ambiguous.

But isn't he a good friend of Bai Ling? Shouldn't a common enemy scoff at him?

Or could it be that this person found out about the matter between her and the Bai Clan and planned to help his brother vent his anger, hook him into their group, and then ruthlessly shake him off?

Gu Hua Jing felt that this was the most reasonable explanation! Han Xizhi had the reputation of being a playboy, so it was normal for him to use such a method.

No wonder he appeared so courteously several times.

Gu Hua Jing's good impression of Han Xi immediately disappeared, and she couldn't help but look down on him. To use this kind of method to take revenge on a girl, he really was the model of a scum!

Han Xizhi, who had already left the garden, suddenly sneezed, and a servant next to him hurriedly offered him a silk handkerchief.

"Young Master, you dressed a bit thinner today."

"What do you know? Your young master is dressed like a jade tree."

Han Xizhi rubbed his nose and turned around to look at Flowing Garden. He felt that he had achieved some results today. At the very least, he should have shown that his attitude and Bai Lingtian's were completely different.

The corner of Han Xizhi's mouth pulled up into a confident smile, as he slowly paced back and forth.

In the capital, the Flowing Gardens was a place that received a lot of attention.

As the empire was flourishing, some people found it difficult to sit idly by. Any place where there were gossips or gossip would be the focus of attention.

Han Xizhi didn't expect that just as he stepped out of the garden, the news of him meeting Gu Huanjing had already spread like wildfire.

"Young Master Han, you really are loyal. For the sake of the young master of the Bai Clan, you didn't hesitate to come personally to avenge us. Just from your spirit of loyalty, I have to toast you."

Han Xi's face twitched, and his usual smile stiffened.

Who the hell said he was going to avenge Bai Lingtian? If these words landed in Gu Hua Jing's ears, wouldn't all his hard work have been wasted?

Han Xizhi tried his best to suppress the urge to curse, and calmly drank his wine.

"I'm afraid Brother Lin is mistaken. I went to the Flowing Garden for some other reason. You can't speak carelessly about it."

"Understood, understood, this brother understands. Young Master Han has done a good deed and yet is unwilling to reveal it. Young Master Bai is truly fortunate to have a friend like you!"

"No, where did you hear that?"

"From where? Everyone's talking about it, so Young Master Han can be at ease. Everyone's praising you for your righteousness, and that Gu family girl deserves it. No one will say anything about what Young Master Han does. "

"Scram!"

"Young Master Han …?"

"Did you hear me?!"

Han Xizhi was so upset that he broke a wine cup, and his ears finally quieted down.

What do you mean everyone is talking about it? Are these people all full? Is it fun to talk behind someone's back all day?!

Scratching his hair, Han Xi felt that he was in trouble. Based on the current situation, what if Gu Hua Jing also thought the same? He hadn't won a single bit of her goodwill here. If he misunderstood her again …

Han Xizhi wrinkled his brows. No way, no way. He had to find Gu Hua Jing and explain it clearly. He couldn't allow others to misunderstand.

Just as he was about to stand up and head back to the flower garden, a servant beside Han Xizhi ran over like a wisp of smoke.

"Young master, the second young master of the Bai Clan is here to see you. He's outside."

Bai Lingtian? Han Xizhi's eyes flashed, and he slowly sat back down.

His movements were quite fast. He had been so conflicted with any news related to Gu Hua Jing before, so why did he come to find me at the first possible moment? Did he want to thank me for venting his anger?

"Hurry up and invite him in?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The attendant left the room to report the matter to Zhang Xuan, and Bai Lingtian soon appeared before Han Xizhi.

"Ling Tian, how do you have the time to come visit me today? I remember that you were invited to meet with me, but I was not there? "

Han Xi's face was full of smiles as he received the wine cup and poured it all into a cup, pushing it in front of Bai Lingtian.

Bai Lingtian did not say anything else, but picked up his wine cup and drained it dry in one gulp.

"I heard that you went to find Gu Hua Jing?"

"How do you know?" Han Xizhi immediately looked dejected, "I deliberately made people think that I was hiding this from you."

"What did you find her for?"

Han Xizhi did not answer, but looked at Bai Lingtian in surprise, "What is it? You're not worried about me, are you? "You're worried that I'll get entangled by that woman too?"

Han Xi clapped his hands on Bai Lingtian's shoulder, "Hahahaha bro, you're the only one who cares about me so much. It looks like the shadow that the Gu family's girl has created for you is not small at all."

The hearty laughter did not cause Bai Lingtian to loosen his brows. However, he did not explain anything. Thus, Han Xizhi took it as a tacit agreement.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I had no choice but to go because of someone's request. Elder Li, do you know?" "He wanted to see Gu Hua Jing, that's why I sent him over."

"Elder Li? Why was he looking for Gu Hua Jing? Could it be the Gu family? Is Gu Huaji sick? "

Bai Lingtian suddenly thought back to what his mother had said. Gu Hua Jing had often been sick in the Bai Clan, and she had been suffering from illness for a long time. Could it be that she had become even more serious?

Bai Lingtian did not notice the change in his tone, but Han Xizhi noticed it. The corners of his eyes twitched as he started laughing again.

"That's not it. Elder Li took the initiative to come knocking. However, what is the reason …"

Han Xizhi shrugged his shoulders, his face full of helplessness, "It's not like you don't know Elder Li's temper. It's not even as if the few nobles in the palace are worthy of flattery, how would I know?"

"…" Bai Lingtian lowered his head and poured himself a cup of wine to drink.

Han Xizhi watched from the side, his eyes flickering, "Ling Tian, you're in such a hurry to find me. It can't be that you're here to ask me about this, right?"

"I... "I happened to pass by, so I came in to see if you were there."

"I'm just an idle person. Where else can I go if not here?"

Han Xi's Ruffian laughed as he shook the wine jug. Frowning, he threw it to the side and took out another small wine jug.

"Are you afraid that the Gu family's girl will pester you and change your target? In my opinion, that girl is quite stubborn. Before, she did whatever she could for you, and now, she deserves to live alone in the Flowing Garden. "

"She …" "She actually …"

Bai Lingtian did not know why he wanted to refute Han Xizhi, but what could he say?

In the past, he couldn't wait for Gu Hua Jing to disappear, but now, what qualifications did he have to speak up for her?

Sighing, there was an indescribable loneliness in Bai Lingtian's tone as he said, "Don't provoke her. It's not easy for a girl like her to be together with a girl. Don't try to tease her just because of my relationship with her."

Han Xizhi's eyes opened wide, "Could it be that you are speaking up for her? I say, don't tell me that you heard the rumors outside and thought that I wanted to take revenge on the Gu family's girl? "

Bai Lingtian did not say anything, but the slight change in expression on his face was enough to explain his thoughts.

"I'm a bit confused, but I know what I'm doing."

Han Xizhi casually explained himself, changing his tone, "But Ling Tian, why are you suddenly worried about Gu Hua Jing? Didn't you feel happy when you heard the news of your relationship with her? Not going to be... Do you regret it when you see her become even more beautiful than before? "

"I didn't!"

Bai Lingtian answered without hesitation, his voice shaking so much that even Han Xi's ear ached.

If he really regretted it, then how could he face the provocation that he risked his life to provoke a few years ago?

Han Xizhi let out a sigh of relief, "Like I said, I know you the best. You have never looked down on Gu Hua Jing, so why would you eat grass for such superficial reasons?"

As he spoke, he stroked his chin, his eyes turning into the familiar face of Bai Lingtian, flashing with interest.

"But, I saw Gu Huanjing today, it seems …" "It's not as annoying as you say. The most important thing is that she really is beautiful, perhaps even better than the Fang family's Fang Wanxin."

Han Xizhi felt a chill all over his body, but it was as if he couldn't feel it at all. He looked at Bai Lingtian sincerely, "Actually, that is my type. Tell me, do I have to try it?"

"…" He did not know what to say. Han Xizhi was his good friend and they had known each other since they were children. With such a deep friendship, why was it that when Han Xizhi said these words, there was an indescribable anxiety in his chest?

"Just tell me if it's okay or not. In any case, my parents will follow me in the marriage. Even if Gu Huanjing has a bad temper, marrying such a beautiful girl at home would be pleasing to the eyes."

As Han Xizhi continued to speak, Bai Lingtian felt a surge of nefarious fire within his chest, causing him to feel as if he was in the middle of a battlefield.

Finally, Bai Lingtian calmly threw down two words, "up to you", poured another cup of wine, drank it all in one gulp, got up and left.

Behind him, the corner of Han Xi's mouth raised into a smile, the smile growing bigger and bigger, finally causing him to unconsciously lean on the table and shake his shoulders.

This feeling is so good …!

Who would have thought that a person who did not have any feelings towards anything, would actually lose his cool in such a cold manner?

In the past, no matter how many things he had done, he would always be inferior to him.

However, no one cared about this feeling of despair. They could see that Bai Lingtian was able to defeat a first class expert effortlessly, but no one cared about how much effort he had put in.

Han Xi raised his head from his arms, a bewitching luster flashing in his eyes. The thought of marrying Gu Huajing had never been more intense than at this moment.

The more Bai Lingtian expressed different feelings towards Gu Hua Jing, the more joyous he would feel when he married her back.
