Chapter 172: The feeling of Heartbreak
Every day, Leng Le would occasionally exchange messages with Gu Fan, keen on attaining precise knowledge of his movements. Once Lin Xi returned to seek Gu Fan, she could possibly trace Lin Xi.
However, two hours had passed already, and Leng Le had not received a single text from Gu Fan. Even when she had initiated a message, it seemed to have sunk into a sea of stones, without any response, an experience she had never encountered before.
Intuition told Leng Le that something must have happened on Gu Fan’s side. She hurriedly activated the surveillance system. She had installed a pinhole camera in Gu Fan’s house long ago, and it now came in handy.
However, to Leng Le’s disappointment, just like before, all the signals had disappeared, and she could not see the situation inside Gu Fan’s house at all.
At this moment, both Gu Fan and Lu Yi were astoundingly flabbergasted as Lin Xi, utterly nonchalant towards their expressions, walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food. She naturally placed the dish on the table and said, "What’s the matter? Surprised to see me after such a long time?"
Gu Fan was at a loss for words. The Lin Xi before him had undergone stark changes in eyes and aura, rendering her completely different from the Lin Xi they once knew. It seemed that although Lin Xi had returned, however...
Lu Yi then forced a few chuckles, "Beautiful Lin, you’re finally back. We’ve been hoping for your return. We missed you intensely."
"I’m sorry, I’ve been a little busy lately, and I made you worry," Lin Xi responded indifferently, exuding an imposing aura that intimidated Gu Fan and Lu Yi.
Gu Fan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you come here to see us?"
"Of course, I came to see you, because I entrusted something important to you." Finished speaking, Lin Xi took a small box out of her pocket - the very object she had asked Gu Fan to keep for her when she was in Qianye Country.
Upon seeing this, Gu Fan felt a wave of disappointment. It turns out Lin Xi came back for this small box.
