"Then that's settled." Lu Wanwan glanced at Gu Annan, "I'll go up first."
She clutched her unbuttoned clothes and headed straight upstairs.
Ji Jiayi turned back to Gu Annan, "Just now... I really misunderstood. Brother Annan, I just don't want her to let you down. Can you not blame me, please?"
"It's getting late, you'd better go home," he replied icily, "If this happens again, it won't end as simply as it did today."
Ji Jiayi watched her leave, discontent lying heavy in her heart, "Brother Annan, I can assure you I won't make things difficult for her. But... are you really going to marry her? Were you serious about your engagement?"
"That's none of your concern. Jiayi, you should know that I've never liked others meddling in my life," he said, his tone calm but carrying a warning, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ji Jiayi's tears brimmed again, as she clenched her jaw, not letting go even as it pained her.
Finally, she nodded firmly and ran out of the Gu Family residence.
