Chapter 970: A Tiger Is Hard to Dismount From

e icy water splash on his face, calming him down completely.Last night's events, though seemingly normal, felt orchestrated and deliberate.Lin Xiaoru appeared at the entrance of the KTV, with alcohol,...Looking at the strange expressions on his face, Gu Ke'yu felt a nameless anxiety in his heart. Would he misunderstand him

“Don't misunderstand, I just invited him for coffee today to thank him for clearing up those rumors about me before.”

Gu Ke Yù walked forward, grabbing Lü Jì Yán's sleeve and explaining to him in a slightly anxious tone. She was afraid that Lü Jì Yán only believed what he saw and didn't believe her words just now.

"I see." The two of them were locked in a silent battle of gazes, like a tug-of-war. After a long moment, Lu Jiyan finally responded to Gu Ke'yu with a faint voice.

Lu Jiyan's face showed no expression, not even a flicker of his eyelids. Even Gu Ke Yu, a seasoned actor, couldn't glean any information from his countenance.

His gaze was strange, with a hint of distrust, mixed with scrutiny and examination. Gu Ke'yu had never seen such a strange expression on him before, she wasn't sure if Lu Jiayan believed what she had just said, nor could she tell what he was thinking now.

After finishing his words, Gu Ke'yu didn't know what to say. She could only lower her head in silence. Soon, that short cigarette was finished by Lu Jilun with force. He extinguished the cigarette butt on the wall and looked up, his deep gaze fixed on Gu Ke'yu.

"That night, weren't you at the dance hosted by Mr. Jiang"

"Well, yes I did go."

Gu Ke'yu didn't know if Lu Jiayan asked these questions for a special reason, but she was now in a difficult position. After all, the photos of her attending the ball had spread everywhere that day. Even if she denied it, what could she do Besides, this was a fact right in front of her eyes. Gu Ke'yu didn't want to lie through her teeth.

After he finished speaking, Lu Jiyan didn't make any move. He glanced at Gu Keyu with a dark gaze before turning and leaving the wall.

"Wait! Listen to me, it's not like that!"

Gu Ke'yu rushed forward, somewhat anxiously grabbing Lu Jiayan's sleeve. She could only think now that it was because she hadn't notified him beforehand about attending the dance and he was definitely jealous because of this.

Lu Jiyan's body stiffened at the sound of Gu Keyu's shout, but he quickly recovered and continued to stride forward without turning his head. Gu Keyu knew this was because he hadn't handled things well, so he gripped his sleeve tightly with more force.

"Listen to me explain, I promise things aren't what they seem. I had no idea that day that I was going to a dance. Jiang Yinghan just dragged me there at the last minute! If I had known it was his father's birthday party, I wouldn't have gone!"

Gu Ke Yu said everything he wanted to say, but Lu Ji Yan didn't react at all. He had a numb face, even you could say he was cold.

He merely shifted his body slightly, his hand moving with a cold and ruthless efficiency to pull away Gu Ke Yu's grasp on his sleeve. Then, he strode towards the curb, started his car, and drove away.

Perhaps because Gu Ke'yu had always been the dominant one in her past relationships, she had never been treated with such coldness before. So now facing this sudden change, she was momentarily caught off guard.

Her stiff hands remained suspended in mid-air, time seemingly frozen. Her gaze only shifted to follow the direction of Lu Jiayan's departing car.

In a short while, the dark Bentley vanished around the corner, leaving only a wisp of blue smoke reminding everyone of what had just happened.

The streets had returned to their former state, but Gu Ke Yu felt as if his heart had been ripped out, a continuous throbbing pain filling him.

This was the first time Lu Jiayan hadn't believed her words. The two of them had created such an irreconcilable conflict, and Gu Ke'yu felt very sad in her heart. She wasn't heartbroken because of Lu Jiayan's actions just now, but she felt that she had made a mistake again and once again hurt the person who loved her deeply.

Her heart was in turmoil. Was Lu Jianyuan's just-now behavior a sign that he was going to give up on the hard-won relationship between them The more Gu Keyu thought about it, the more pain she felt.

Standing at the corner, Gu KeYu suddenly felt a suffocating numbness, like a fish that had suddenly escaped the water and landed on dry land. He crouched down half-heartedly, propped himself up against the trunk of a nearby tree, and gasped for breath uncontrollably.

Her tears flowed like a burst dam, non-stop pouring out as she cried and gasped for air. In the end, she even felt a bit nauseous.

Standing on this street corner, Gu Ke'yu only felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world. She didn't even know what time it was. When she waited for herself to slowly wake up, the sky had already darkened. Because she had squatted for too long, she suddenly stood up straight and felt a dizzy spell, almost stumbling and falling to the ground.

Gu Ke Yu slowly walked to the edge of the wall, leaning against it while waiting for his numb legs to regain sensation. Only after a while did he drag his weary body slowly back home.

She moved back home like a completely soulless, lifeless marionette, her body rigid. Even in her actions, there was a machine-like quality to everything she did as she took off her shoes and went into her room without even looking around.

She wasn't sure if Xiao Tang and Tang Lijia were even home. She just didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. All she wanted was to get back to her soft bed and lie down for a while, then figure out how to deal with this mess when she woke up.

Gu Ke'yu's head began to feel a little dizzy, she felt her bed floating along with her soul in mid-air. After closing her eyes for a while, she suddenly heard a noise outside the door. Gu Ke'yu slowly opened her eyes and glanced towards the door.

I could hear sounds outside and I could open my eyes, but my brain seemed to be completely unresponsive. My body was still limp on the bed with no feeling of being awake.

It seemed that those outside had been waiting for a while and were starting to get impatient. With a clatter from the doorknob, a gap was pushed open. Turning his eyes, Tang Lijia peered into Gu Ke's room.

"Gu Ke Yu, if you don't speak I'm coming in!"

After she finished speaking, she pushed the door open and squeezed in.

"How are you today You came back and didn't even talk to us. It seems like you're in a bad mood." Tang Lijia slowly walked to Gu Keyu's bedside, looking at her with worry.t Pu Yun Gu Xia was sitting beside her.So he couldn't help but look up at Pu Yun Gu Xia with a face full of apology."Senior Brother Pu Yun, I'm sorry to have you keep me company here for so long.
