Chapter 1117: Capture Jiang Yao
Seeing Tang Xue’s stubborn attitude, Chen Xi’s patience finally snapped. For the first time, he realized—how had he never noticed before?—that Tang Xue was someone who could lie so glibly without blinking. His expression cooled, his voice sharp as a whip.
"No need to explain," he cut her off icily. "I know how to tell right from wrong. Since she’s not with you, I’ll go find her myself."
Without another glance, Chen Xi turned on his heel and strode off, his long legs carrying him swiftly away.
Left behind, Tang Xue’s entire face darkened. Her heart twisted painfully. He’s in such a rush to find Gu Zi? Why? Could it be—
A terrible thought struck her like a bolt of lightning. Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes as she clutched Li Juan’s arm, sobbing, "Li Juan, do you think... do you think Chen Xi likes Gu Zi?"
Seeing her friend dissolve into tears, Li Juan hurried to comfort her.
"Tang Xue, what are you thinking? Gu Zi’s already married! Chen Xi is the second young master of the Chen family. No matter how outrageous he is, he wouldn’t go after another man’s wife. He must have some urgent reason to find her, that’s all."
But Tang Xue angrily brushed her hand away.
"He’s not even close to Gu Zi! What urgent matter could possibly be so important that he has to find her right now?" she snapped. "Go to the canteen yourself—I’m not eating."
With that, she covered her mouth with trembling fingers and fled in the direction of the dormitory, her figure trembling with emotion.
