"What you're saying... there's no dampening of spirits. I'm just worried about your situation. Come on, let's go. I'll take you back."
During their conversation, Gu Zichen's hand had already landed on Wen Mian's.
He took the opportunity to steady her, doing his best to take her back.
However, the appearance of a dark figure behind them was particularly conspicuous in the bright daylight.
Pei Zhiyao stood not far away, intently watching the scene unfold.
As he saw the interaction between Wen Mian and Gu Zichen, a sour feeling surged within Pei Zhiyao's heart.
He was unclear about the exact nature of the relationship between Wen Mian and Gu Zichen.
But from the trust Wen Mian was showing Gu Zichen at that moment, she knew this man was no simple character.
Pei Zhiyao moved to follow them, concerned about Wen Mian's condition.
But after only a few steps, Pei Zhiyao stopped.
"Forget it."
As he murmured to himself, he was actually afraid that seeing him would annoy Wen Mian.
