Chapter 304
Another fine day dawned and, according to old man Tian’s advice, they were to make tracks as much as possible before the next blizzard took hold. Otherwise, who knew how long they might be delayed once the storm hit.
As everyone packed up for the new journey, Gu Fan stole a glance at Ning Qi, only to find her looking surreptitiously back at him. Their eyes met, then quickly darted away, as if they both felt guilty.
Given the previous night’s intimacy, it should be a clear indication for them to become officiate their relationship. But neither Gu Fan nor Ning Qi acknowledged it.
However, Gu Fan knew whether that wonderful moment was real or not, and he had a way of finding out.
While the party was moving, Gu Fan intentionally lingered behind to observe. He soon noticed Hu Bo subtly turning his head towards Ning Qi, likely sneaking peeks at her.
As they walked, Gu Fan saw Deng Wenli also slightly turning his head, causing him to sigh inwardly, realizing how far Ning Qi’s influence extended.
Gu Fan recalls a recent conversation with Hu Bo, where he confessed his relationship with Ning Qi. It had ended due to their mismatched social statuses, but Hu Bo still harbored deep feelings for her.
"Hu Bo, oh Hu Bo, your beloved woman just recently shared a wonderful memory with me. I wonder how you’d feel about that," Gu Fan didn’t dare discuss this matter with Hu Bo, but he couldn’t help contemplating. Gu Fan felt if Hu Bo knew, he might not accept it, and it could even lead to a duel between the two.
Gu Fan wondered if Hu Bo still loved Ning Qi, then did he also think that Ning Qi loved him? It might be the reason why Hu Bo was joining her on this adventure.
