Chapter 52 Did you get together with Chen Yishu?
After Chen Yishu left, Gu Qili opened the French book she had been searching for a long time. It was brand new.
Tucked within the title page was a bookmark, with a line of neat script: Qili’s book.
Seeing this familiar handwriting, Gu Qili suddenly remembered the note she had seen in the cafeteria; indeed, it was written by Chen Yishu.
Watching Chen Yishu’s handsome figure walking away, Mickey pinched Gu Qili lightly and chuckled: "Are you and Chen Yishu an item now?"
Gu Qili snapped out of her thoughts, closed the book, and took the opportunity to slap Mickey’s hand, making her retract it in pain.
"There’s nothing between Chen Yishu and me, don’t overthink things, gossip-monger."
"You may have nothing for him, but he’s made his feelings very obvious. Anyone with eyes can see he is deeply in love with you," Mickey intertwined her arm with hers as they walked down the shaded path, the sun blazing overhead at its hottest time of the day, "Maybe he’s going to confess to you tonight."
"Maybe." If that note really was written by Chen Yishu, then the purpose of today’s meeting was clear.
They had known each other for over three years and had always remained friends, carefully not crossing the line. Gu Qili understood Chen Yishu’s thoughts; while she felt pure friendship for him, his feelings were romantic.
She thought they would always maintain this balance without breaking it, but now it seemed Chen Yishu was going to tip the scales.
She was a fallen heiress, so naturally, her family background did not match his, and besides, she had a two-year marriage arrangement with Mu Shuoqian, even though there were no feelings involved and she was previously married. With Chen Yishu’s looks, character, and family, he wouldn’t marry someone already married.
