Chapter 2373: Working Together (2)
He gave Gu Xijiu a judgmental look, for she did not seem like the person who would care for a child of unknown background and origin. Hesitantly, he half-jokingly added, "He is our child. I will not make him suffer."
Gu Xijiu only responded briefly with a nod. She did not feel the need to discuss the child’s parenthood at this time. She was just overwhelmed by her guilty conscience. Moreover, it was not appropriate for him to talk about the child that he had with another woman in front of Yun Qingluo. Shouldn’t he be worried that she would be jealous? Or was he using the child to trigger her even more, so she would obey him?
Perhaps, there was indeed an argument between Di Fuyi and Yun Qingluo as they refused to talk to one another at the moment. And maybe, the only reason Di Fuyi invited Gu Xijiu along was to make Yun Qingluo feel a sense of competition. Her mind swirled with the many different possibilities. She had to stop.
Gu Xijiu realized that every time something that was related to Di Fuyi happened, she always tended to overthink the entire situation. It was not like her at all. For now, she should focus on the search for the Silver Ring Crocodile.
Speaking of which, she wondered how Di Fuyi found out that she was actually looking for the Silver Ring Crocodile. He seemed to be looking for the same thing as well. What was the crocodile for? She had to ask him. "How did you know that I was looking for the Silver Ring Crocodile?"
"Aren’t you going to use its heart as the guiding herb for your antitoxin?" He answered.
Hesitantly, Gu Xijiu agreed. "Yes." She then threw another hateful look to Yun Qingluo and added, "Thanks to her."
