1313 The Cutest Person In The World
“There’s only you and me in this room. And it’s not like you’re an outsider.” Qiao Xi smiled indifferently.
Gu Yao was stunned. “Yes! You’re my sister-in-law! How can I be considered an outsider?”
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “Then what are you worried about? I’ve only told you and Gu Zheng about this. It’s impossible for me to tell outsiders.”
Gu Yao instantly felt that his status in Qiao Xi’s heart had changed. It turned out that he was as important as Gu Zheng. He was really too outstanding!
He immediately patted his chest and promised excitedly, “Qiao Xi, I swear on my life that I’ll absolutely not tell anyone!”
Qiao Xi naturally believed him, or else she wouldn’t have told him.
“But…” Gu Yao suddenly frowned. “Don’t you think something’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Xi asked.
Gu Yao said, “You dreamed that your blood was extracted when you were 15 or 16 years old. According to the information Gu Zheng investigated and the Xia family’s words, the blood in your body is purified every five years, and the person who has your blood can be immune to all poisons. It’s been exactly five years now. Your blood can be purified now.
“If your blood was extracted five years ago, then the time is ripe now. Such rumors are suddenly spreading outside. The person who spread the rumors might be the person who took your blood back then, but you’ve seen all those people from the Xia family. It can’t be them!”
Qiao Xi understood all this. “That’s why I’m pretending to be sick.”
The Xia family said that before the blood in her body was completely purified, she would be very weak. If the outside world knew that Mrs. Gu had suddenly fallen sick and this news coincidentally matched the rumors, perhaps this could lure out the mastermind.
Gu Yao said worriedly, “Qiao Xi, I think your dream is real. It shouldn’t be long before your memories recover. It’s just that we don’t know who wants to take your blood yet, so we can’t guard against them.
“But I don’t understand. How would that person know such an important secret?”
Qiao Xi muttered as well, “I don’t understand either. How could others know my secret?”
“Ordinary people won’t spread this secret. Moreover, you’ve always been careful. You definitely wouldn’t have told outsiders. If it’s Gu Zheng and me, or someone else you trust, we definitely won’t spout nonsense. Otherwise, others might accidentally discover that your blood can treat poisons, so…”
Qiao Xi shook her head and replied with a smile, “I think I was the one who told him.”
Gu Yao’s face instantly turned pale, and his ears buzzed. He widened his eyes in shock.
If the other party was able to make Qiao Xi tell this secret herself, then that man must be as important to Qiao Xi as Gu Zheng was. That was why she was able to tell the other party everything. However, someone she trusted so much wanted to take her blood and make her lose her memory.
Five years later, that person returned and even wanted to take Qiao Xi’s blood again. He wanted to plunder Qiao Xi’s blood time and again to satisfy his greed and selfishness.
But… why would she ever trust such a person?
“You didn’t see that man’s face?” Gu Yao asked in a trembling voice.
“No. After all, I haven’t recovered my memories yet, and my dream was very blurry,” Qiao Xi replied. Actually, she was very curious as to who the other party was. She trusted him so much, yet he betrayed her mercilessly.
Or could it be that the other party was not just one person but a group of people or a family?
Gu Yao sized up Qiao Xi and asked nervously, “Qiao Xi, are you feeling unwell now?”
Qiao Xi shook her head. “According to the news spread by the Xia family, it might be about time. But I don’t feel weak. Everything is normal.”
Gu Yao heaved a sigh of relief and reminded her, “You have to be careful. Don’t get close to unfamiliar people now. You can’t be schemed against by those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Gu Zheng and I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Qiao Xi was so touched that she was about to cry. Ah Yao was really kind and warm-hearted.
She tugged at Gu Yao’s sleeve, tears almost welling up in her eyes. “Gu Yao, you’re the most—”
“After all, your existence is to restrain Gu Zheng. If you’re not around, Gu Zheng will probably turn the entire Li City upside down. With you by his side, he’ll pretend to be gentler. He won’t have a cold face all day. Otherwise, if I stand by his side for more than ten minutes, I’ll be so afraid that I’ll freeze into an ice pop. Ever since he married you, he has been smiling. He looks gentle and refined like a n.o.ble young master. Hence, without you, I don’t dare to imagine what he’ll become.”
Qiao Xi: “…” She originally wanted to say that Gu Yao was the cutest person in the world, but now, she took back her words.
