Chapter 257: Iron Blood Brotherhood

Like?

Bai Xiaoyu's eyebrows tightened, and his heartbeat stopped for a moment. His hands, hidden in his trouser pockets, clenched into fists, sweat forming in his palms. He had a cleanliness obsession and always detested this sticky, wet feeling.

Lin Baiyao's words echoed in his mind, with no outlet for release.

Do you like Gu Xiaoer? But what is 'like'? Does this word even exist in his world?

How could he possibly like her, she is Luoli's wife.

He and Han Luoli were brothers in life and death, bound by an ironclad friendship that would never see them on opposing sides in this lifetime.

Even knowing it was all pretense, he found it difficult to say he liked her.

Gu Xiaoer tilted her head to glance at Bai Xiaoyu's troubled frown, leaned in, and hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, whispering, "Minister Bai, you don't want to ditch her anymore!"

Her large eyes squeezed tightly, the message clear as day.
