What Did You Mean?

"I can see that you seem to be very afraid of me, Miss Yue. Since it's inconvenient for Miss Yue, I'll go back first." Mu Chengyao cupped his hands, he did not make any more offensive actions and stood up to walk towards the Gu residence.

Gu Lingyue frowned tightly and asked, "Young Master Mu, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

Mu Chengyao did not turn around. He stopped and said slowly, "Miss Yue, you shouldn't have asked."

Without a clear answer, Mu Chengyao picked up his pace and left.

Gu Lingyue was left alone on the spot. She pressed her hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat. She could not calm down for a long time.

Without Gu Qingxue, the main character, there was no point in the Gu family's banquet. The guests only went home after they had their meal out of respect.
