Chapter 204: Chapter 204: I Really Want to Beat You to Death

Long Yubei, who should have gone to the company, cuddled in bed with Gu Lili until eight-thirty before getting up.

He went to the company at nine, and because Gu Lili wasn’t going to be home for lunch, Long Yubei said he wouldn’t come back either.

Gu Lili practiced an hour of yoga in the morning, ran for an hour, and after showering and changing her clothes, she put on makeup and went to the Western restaurant booked by Gu Xichen.

Seated by the window, she had just sat down when Gu Xichen and Jingsheng arrived.

"Lili, sometimes I really want to kill you." Gu Xichen took his seat.

"Having Jingsheng by your side to protect you means taking some risks; you can’t expect the world to be that cheap." Gu Lili rested her chin on her hand, "You can relax a bit more lately, huh... Isn’t that Yuan Yi? What’s he doing in City A?"

Gu Xichen followed her gaze and saw a man entering the restaurant door, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask.

He withdrew his gaze and asked, "Covered up so tightly, you can still recognize him?"

"I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes." Gu Lili squinted, "He’s going upstairs; I’ll go take a look."

Gu Xichen reached out to hold her back, "What are you going for, to provoke him for what?"

"I’m not provoking him. I’m just looking to see if he’s eating alone or with someone else. Maybe there’ll be an unexpected gain."

Gu Xichen let go, "Go and come back quickly."

Gu Lili stretched out an OK gesture and turned to leave.

After about ten minutes, Gu Lili returned.

"If you don’t come back, the steak is going to get cold."

Gu Lili sat down, picked up the knife and fork, and as she cut the steak, she said to him, "You know who I just saw Yuan Yi having dinner with?"

"Who?"

"Your good friend, Ye Yan." Gu Lili frowned, "How does Ye Yan know him? It’s so unexpected."

"Really Ye Yan?"

"Yes, it’s him. I saw it clearly," Gu Lili took a bite of her steak, "Yuan Yi wouldn’t have shifted his focus onto Ye Yan, would he?"

Gu Xichen frowned, "No... that’s hardly possible."

"Ye Yan must not know about what Yuan Yi did before, right? You should remind him, given that you are such good friends with him."

"Mhm, I’ll talk to him." Gu Xichen said after drinking a couple of sips of apple juice, "Others’ sexual orientation isn’t something we’re entitled to judge, per se. It’s personal freedom. But as a man, I’d rather be with my ten brothers than play the troublemaker."

"Pfft—" Gu Lili put down the utensils and laughed, "Gu Xichen, we’re eating here!"

"Did I say something?" He remained composed.

"You really have a way with words." Gu Lili couldn’t help but chuckle, "You better find yourself a girlfriend soon."

"I won’t."

"Why?"

Gu Xichen looked at her steadily, "Can’t see other women right now. Is that reason enough?"

"..."

When the three of them were full and ready to leave, they happened to bump into Ye Yan.

"What a coincidence?" Ye Yan asked, "Are you guys eating here too?"

"Ye Yan, how do you know Yuan Yi?"

Ye Yan, hearing Gu Lili ask this, knew she had seen him, "Just friends, he’s in City A so we had a meal together."

"Friends?" Gu Lili asked amusingly, "Do you know about his sexual orientation?"

"I know." Ye Yan replied calmly, "What of it? He’s not interested in me, isn’t he into your husband?"

Gu Lili: "..."
