"Hmm." Gu Qibao nodded, blurting out, "Brother Chenghe, don’t you trust me?"
Gu Qibao’s retort caught Bo Chengyan by surprise, however, a smile soon tugged at the corners of his lips. He gently caressed her head, "Why wouldn’t I trust you? Since you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing."
Gu Qibao cast her eyes down, not daring to look at Bo Chengyan’s face. She feared that she might break down in tears the very next second. Forgive her for once again lying. In this moment, she had no other option but to tell a lie, the truth is something she dared not reveal.
Because she had already slept with Di Mingjue, all the explanations were futile. How was she supposed to say it?
Could she say, ’Yes, I slept with Di Mingjue, but I do not like him, nor will I marry him’?
So what good would admitting to it do?
What mattered was that she would not ruin the love between Di Mingjue and Bo Chengxin. As for Bo Chengyan, she believed she had lost the right to say anything to him.
So why should she admit to anything and unsettle everyone? It would be better to shoulder all this alone.
"Did you hear it all?" Bo Chengyan walked over to Bo Chengxin’s side and squatted down, his eyes gentle, "Xiaoqi said nothing happened between her and Di Mingjue. You can feel at ease now, right?"
"Hmm." Bo Chengxin nodded, "I trust Mingjue, Big Brother, let’s go back."
"Okay." Bo Chengyan stood and turned to Gu Qibao, "Xiaoqi, don’t take it to heart. Xinxin was only asking, she didn’t mean anything else. You don’t mind, right?"
"No." Gu Qibao forced a smile, her pale face framed by her bitten lips as she ruefully replied, "It’s only natural."
Indeed, it was only natural. Bo Chengxin was Di Mingjue’s girlfriend, it was her right to ask.
As Bo Chengyan’s little sister, she was understandably doted on by her brother and had him defend her. What could Gu Qibao say in response?
