Anyway, her objective was already halfway met. As long as Gu Xinuo didn’t trust Chu Chen, she was certain to win. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Gu Xinuo stretched out her hand and grabbed "Chu Chen"’s collar, her expression darkening. "Chu Chen, you say it’s a misunderstanding. Fine, prove it to me," she demanded.

"Prove it?" He looked puzzled.

"That’s right." Gu Xinuo let go, her tone turning cold, "Throw Mo Lingling out of here, and I’ll believe you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lingling panicked first.

She looked anxiously at Chu Chen. "Chu Chen, you can’t do this to me. I’m the one who truly cares about you. Besides, you promised Grandfather that you would take care of me."

"Chu Chen" appeared troubled, hesitant.

The moment was ripe, Gu Xinuo added fuel to the fire decisively, "Chu Chen, if you protect her, we’re through for good. It’s your choice."

"Anuo." Chu Chen’s face changed slightly. "Anuo, do you really have to push me like this? Is our relationship not worth your trust?"

"You say I’m pressing you?" Gu Xinuo laughed sarcastically. "Chu Chen, do you want to protect her that much?"

"Master has been kind to me." His voice was hoarse.

Not far away, Mo Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Xinuo with a bit more smugness in her eyes.

"Chu Chen" lowered his stance, trying to reason in a gentle voice, "Anuo, calm down, listen to me explain, this is really just a misunderstanding."

"Enough."

Gu Xinuo rebuked him coldly, her gaze on his arm filled with disappointment. "Chu Chen, it turns out I was wrong about you. From today on, we’re done."

"Anuo, don’t be rash."

"It’s not rash. From now on, I don’t ever want to see you again. I’m leaving the K organization. You’d better keep an eye on her continuously, or I won’t be merciful." Gu Xinuo looked in Mo Lingling’s direction, her eyes cold with intense murderous intent.

Mo Lingling’s eyes dodged, hiding the smugness in her gaze.

"Anuo." Chu Chen reached out wanting to pull her, but she pushed him away forcefully.

Gu Xinuo warned coldly, "Stay away from me."

Before the sound of her voice faded, she stormed out of the door.

In the blink of an eye, not even her shadow was left to be seen.

"Chu Chen." Mo Lingling called out weakly.

"Chu Chen" looked back at her once, then turned and ran out to chase after Gu Xinuo.

Mo Lingling ran to the doorframe, grasping it. She saw Chu Chen’s figure disappearing at the stairwell and her lips curled into a sinister smile.

Gu Xinuo, no matter how highly you think of yourself, you are still getting played by me.

...

"Hahaha."

The laughter continued, not from just one person.

However, someone looked utterly dejected.

Chu Chen glared at the three people laughing at his expense across from him and complained irritably, "Enough already. Is it really that funny?"

Just knew they’d enjoy watching the drama unfold.

Damn.

Truly frustrating.

Ye Jiuliang barely stopped laughing, turned off the computer’s listening feature, and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect Qin Yi to have such a talent for acting."

"Of course, who do you think taught him?" Ji Mingqian couldn’t help boasting as he tilted his head up.

To prevent that wooden blockhead Qin Yi from giving himself away, Ji Mingqian had indeed put in a lot of effort, almost driving himself crazy just coaching facial expressions.

"Achen, from now on you need to be careful. Mo Ling now truly believes you’ve had a falling out with Anuo. Don’t let our efforts be in vain," he advised.

Chu Chen gave him a roll of his eyes. Easy for him to talk without a stake in the game.
