When his phoenix eyes saw the dress in Hua Lifang’s hands, his expression immediately changed. "What are you doing with the dress? Put it down!"
His voice was so cold that Hua Lifang was startled.
"Weren’t… Weren’t you going to give me this dress?"
As soon as she said this, Gu Lichen's expression changed again. 'Yes, but no.'
He had planned to give it to the little girl who saved him when he found her because he once promised her that he would give her a purple dress with tiny flowers.
However, he was unable to link Lifang with the girl from his childhood when he finally found her.
The person he yearned for felt so unfamiliar when she appeared in front of him.
"If you want a dress, I'll give you another one later," he said as he took the dress back from her hands.
Hua Lifang's expression immediately froze, but then she said with feigned nonchalance, "Alright. Thank you, Lichen. By the way, I took some money out of the card you gave me today. It doesn't matter, does it?"
"Since I gave it to you, you can use it whenever you want," Gu Lichen said lightly
"I didn't use it. I planned to give the money to Yiran since she has broken up with Yi Jinli, so she might not be doing as well financially. However..." Hua Lifang bit her lip as if she was wronged. "These tens of thousands of dollars are probably nothing to her. She won't accept it."
"Really?" Gu Lichen stared at Hua Lifang, making her feel guilty.
"Yes, I think so. What kind of life did Yiran lead when she was with Yi Jinli? Besides, she once suffered in prison. It’s natural even if she’s a little vain now. I just don't know if she would deliberately find excuses to get close to rich men to live a better life. I'm really afraid she'll be cheated!"
