Gu Xiaonuan noticed that Gu Xijue and Qin Yue's gazes met, and it seemed as if both understood each other's thoughts, sharing a smile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Li Lu, standing aside, softly mocked Gu Xiaonuan, whispering in her ear.
"This time, even you must concede defeat. Your brother and Qin Yue are smitten, aren't they? They seem quite compatible to me. Why barge in and complicate things, resulting in your brother and you heading down a road of no return?"
Li Lu wasn't just making cutting remarks, nor was she indifferent. Instead, Li Lu didn't want Gu Xiaonuan to regret or be heartbroken later. Gu Xijue was Gu Xiaonuan's own brother, no matter how you looked at it, the worldly views and challenges Gu Xiaonuan would eventually have to face were enough to intimidate her.
Since there was still a chance to regret, why not take a step back?
"Laugh at me now, you'll have your turn to suffer soon!"
Gu Xiaonuan responded sarcastically to Li Lu's teasing.
