Tao Siran said with a bit of amusement, "You said yourself that it's over. In Qin Youbei's eyes, you've already broken up. She's just a girl, why would she call you? Unless... wait a second..."
As he spoke, he seemed to come to a realization, his mind quickly making connections as if he suddenly understood everything: "Could it be that you two are just putting on a show? Playing a game of openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing through Chen Cang?"
Lately, Gu Xiao had frequently encountered trouble.
Whenever he went out, he already had to be accompanied by three or four bodyguards due to the constant unexpected assassination attempts.
He was afraid the trouble would reach Qin Youbei, so he dared not even look at her.
The reason he said he wanted to break up with Qin Youbei was to protect her.
"It's not entirely that. That day we did have a real argument," Gu Xiao stressed, "but it wasn't a breakup, it was just a bit of emotional drama."
