Let Him Do as He Pleases

Chi Yu comforted Yan Ling with a few words, advising him to abandon the ill-conceived idea of pretending to be a couple.

However, she assured him that if needed, she would accompany him as a friend to meet his parents.

Yan Ling said he would think it over.

That evening, upon returning home, Chi Yu intentionally observed Gu Xianian.

He seemed a bit dispirited. With such a major incident, it was impossible for there not to be rumors circulating. Yet, Gu Xianian's resilience was far stronger than Chi Yu had anticipated.

"There are plenty of people talking nonsense, but there are also many standing up for me. Fang Kuai and Niu Niu even shared their spare ribs with me—they were delicious," he said with a grin.

It must be said, having a carefree attitude can sometimes be a blessing.

Chi Yu no longer worried about Gu Xianian's situation. After heading upstairs and freshening up, she pulled Chen Ting and Fang Jing into a group chat.
