To be honest, Xie Ningyuan hadn't expected Ye Zhiyao to say something like that.
He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
He looked at Gu Jue. "Oh? So, are you planning to accept her proposal and kill me?"
Gu Jue was also stunned. He looked at Ye Zhiyao in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize her.
"Cousin, do you have any idea what you're saying?"
Ye Zhiyao was hysterical. "If I don't kill him, I'll die! Cousin, we're family! Don't you hate him too?"
"You know it, don't you? He's always coveted Lu Sangjiu!"
"Just now, I saw Lu Sangjiu run toward the river with my own eyes. And now he's all damp... what do you think happened between them?!"
Gu Jue's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Xie Ningyuan raised an eyebrow but didn't refute Ye Zhiyao.
But just then, a soft, sweet "Xie" clearly reached everyone's ears.
Xie Ningyuan shuddered at the call. With an incredibly complicated expression, he turned to see that "Lu Sangjiu" had appeared at some point.
