Chapter 289 - 269: Getting Very Close with a Minor Celebrity
Mu Shuoqian saw the distracted Gu Qili suddenly dash onto the car lane; his heart nearly stopped. With all his might, he pushed open the car door, almost without any thought, ready to rush out.
Just as one of his legs stepped out, it stiffened alive; a swift figure suddenly appeared behind her, pulling her to the side of the road just in time. Holding her hand, he seemed to be scolding her with his head down, but there was not a trace of harshness in his eyes, only full of concern.
All the while, Gu Qili hung her head like a child who had made a mistake, unaware if she was listening. After they spoke for a while, she got into his car and left.
Mu Shuoqian returned to his car; despite the air conditioning being on, he felt waves of chill down his spine, gripping the leather seat beside him uncontrollably, his fingers almost digging deep into it.
Turns out, seeing another man by her side, he would experience such piercing heartache, as if someone was forcibly ripping his heart out from his chest.
But wasn’t this his intention? To push her away from him, to let her start a new life. She would love and be loved by someone else, and from then on, they would be worlds apart, irrelevant to each other.
"Young Master Qian." Yuan Yi had called out to him several times, and on the tenth call, he looked over with deep sadness and conflict that he had yet to conceal.
"What’s the matter?" The moment he spoke, his voice trembled slightly.
"Shall we continue to follow?" For the past few days, Yuan Yi had been accompanying Mu Shuoqian every other day for surveillance. To avoid being recognized, they changed cars and disguised themselves when driving.
In fact, they did nothing but follow. Sometimes, the lady would spend half a day in the mall without coming out, and they would wait outside.
Once, the lady had gone to a real estate agency, and after she left, Young Master Qian went in to inquire, only to find out that the lady intended to sell the villa of the winery.
After Young Master Qian returned, he immediately had someone purchase that villa. However, during the transfer of ownership, he still exercised some maneuvers. The villa remained in the lady’s name, only she was unaware.
