So he truly loves Gu Aihan a lot. Otherwise, why would he lie?
Long Yifan turned back to Gu Aihan.He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close as if to shield her from the judging eyes of the onlookers.
The crowd's murmurs grew louder, their opinions now sharply divided.
"This doesn't add up… If Gu Jin saved him, why would he side with Gu Aihan?"
"Hey! He loves his fiance, why would he stand up for outsiders?"
"Exactly!"
Gu Jin's fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms.
She could feel the tears burning at the back of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
She would not break, not in front of them. Not in front of him.
"Yifan…" she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible, "You fool."
But Long Yifan never looked back at her.
He kept his gaze firmly on the ground, his face pale and his hands trembling slightly as he held onto Gu Aihan like she was his lifeline.
