Chapter 157: Chapter 157: A Chat With Head Butler

Gu Jin glanced at him and then continued to stare at the moon again.

The head butler accompanied her for a while before asking,

"What do you like about him?"

Gu Jin now understood the head butler’s intention. Before removing the batch, if the head butler said the word ’him’, it could only mean that he was referring to Long Yifan.

He didn’t want to hurt her pride by making her accept that she liked him. Hence he took off the batch, which meant that now the ’him’ wasn’t limited to Long Yifan.

Even though both of them knew whom the head butler was referring to, no one can claim that Gu Jin liked Long Yifan, since the ’him’ in the head butler’s question could be anyone.

’Why do you wanna know?’ That was what Gu Jin would have replied with if she was in a normal state of mind.

However currently Gu Jin felt a strange kind of numbness and she replied in a lost voice,

"I too don’t know."

From the moment she met him, she felt a strange kind of attraction to him.

It was ridiculous for Gu Jin to experience such feelings considering she never let a person come too close to her even if she had met him more than 10 times.

"Maybe you should move..."

"I tried but I can’t." Gu Jin interrupted the head butler.

"Did you never have any dark thoughts?" The head butler asked.

He was most concerned about that question.

Gu Jin chuckled.

Dark thoughts?

"Can kidnapping him, taking him away somewhere far count?"

In fact, whenever Gu Jin thought of how she would one day return to her original world, she subconsciously thought about Long Yifan.

Thoughts like...poisoning him and when he is in a weak state, taking him away with her to her world.

After all his fiance belongs to the magic world, once on earth, their relationship could be considered broken...right? So why not take him away?

In some dark corner of her heart, Gu Jin even had an impulsive thought. What if...what if she tries to find some bad things about his fiance, expose her, and take her place?

All these thoughts were just 1% of her actual dark thoughts.

However, she knew that it would only push Long Yifan far away from her. She couldn’t imagine, seeing disgust on his face, after all...

The head butler was worried that Gu Jin would do something wrong and advised her,

"It is a dark thought and you shouldn’t have these thoughts."

Gu Jin chuckled but didn’t reply to him.

The head butler nagged her,

"Do you want to push him away more? Do you want him to hate you? Do you want to see disgust in his eyes for yourself?"

With each question, Gu Jins’ smile slowly dropped.

Finally, she asked in a low voice,

"So what should I do? Wait for him to get married to his fiance? Does he really love her?"

The head butler knew that it was wrong to lie but to make sure that Gu Jin didn’t take any wrong steps he lied,

"Yes, he loves her a lot. He had dreamt of marrying her since childhood. You might not know but he had a very difficult life till now.

And I don’t want him to suffer anymore."

Except for the first and second lines, the head butler didn’t lie.

Long Yifan had a very difficult life. From getting bullied to facing injustice that could boil anyone’s blood.

And from the looks of it, in the future, his future life won’t be peaceful either.

If he had the power he would have tied Long Yifan with Gu Jin. She was the perfect girl for him.

Gu Jin felt as if someone had stabbed her heart when she heard the head butler’s words.

Suddenly she remembered her grandfather’s words,

"Jin you have suffered so much that I wish that someday your wishes come true."

Just like her grandfather, the head butler wanted Long Yifan’s happiness.

And just like her, Long Yifan had suffered too.

Instead of making his life more dark because of her selfish reason, she should help him.

"So what should I do?"

The head butler was silent for a long while, before saying,

"If you can’t give up, learn to love him from afar."

"I can’t..." Gu Jin was about to decline when the head butler interrupted her,

"Then you can live all alone." The head butler said with a serious expression.

He believed that once Gu Jin stayed far away from Long Yifan and looked at his fake happiness, she would gradually give up on him.

Gu Jin was silent before asking.

"So you mean to say that I need to distance myself from him?"

The head butler nodded,

"To be honest, you won’t need to. After all, he wouldn’t return to the mansion for the next 2 years."

Gu Jin’s heart sank and she asked,

"Why?"

"After the engagement, he will have to fulfill some rituals, which will take half a year. He also has to attend his school..."

"School?" Gu Jin was shocked.

He was in school?

"Yeah, he is 17 this year." The head butler said.

Gu Jin almost wanted to faint. All her sadness vanished for a moment.

How could Long Yifan who looked like a man, be 17?

The head butler was a bit delighted when he saw that Gu Jin wasn’t sad anymore.

"He is in high school, but he loves to roam around the university and most of his friends are university students too.

In fact, his friend circle is filled with adult people."

Gu Jin couldn’t help but chuckle, this time her eyes were filled with curiosity and she asked,

"Which university does he visit the most? And why is that university allowing a high school student to roam around?"

The head butler as if remembering something laughed hard.

"Beijing University, Capital University..."

Just like that, the head butler listed around 12 universities’ names and continued,

"He was bored with the school, so he started to roam in the universities."

"How can the university allow him..." Gu Jin asked.

"Because of his..." Suddenly the head butler stopped. He realized that he was about to disclose very confidential information and cursed himself.

Gu Jin as if understanding the head butler’s mistake changed the topic and asked,

"Was he always so arrogant?"

The head butler was satisfied that Gu Jin didn’t delve into the topic and said,

"Yes."

The head butler remembered a specific memory of a small boy who made a head garland made of a beautiful red rose.

A young girl beside the boy asked,

"Is this for me?"

"Sister, didn’t I give you the head garland made of lilies?" The small boy asked with reluctance in his voice.

"Then who is it for?" The young girl asked curious.

The small boy blushed and said,

"A beautiful lady! She is just like the rose, beautiful but filled with thorns. I want to make her my wife!"

The young girl chuckled and asked,

"Oh? So our Yifan had a crush? Who is she?"

The small boy’s face flushed even more and he shouted,

"Sister don’t tease me!"

"But I am just asking. Who is she?"

The small boy blushed even more but after the young girl’s repeated insistence, the small boy said,

"I don’t know. I have only met her in my dreams! But she is very beautiful. Rose! She is like a rose!"

When the small boy couldn’t explain how his dream girl looked, he gave a metaphor.

"Oh? I wish to meet her someday then." The young girl chuckled.

The small boy nodded,

"Don’t worry! I will definitely make her my wife!"

The head butler turned to look at Gu Jin and for a moment his heart skipped a beat.

(Author: Don’t say he has a crush on her! )

Gu Jin’s red eyes, cold aura, and beautiful face matched the description of a rose.

Now he could understand why his master behaved so differently around Gu Jin. She was his ideal type.

The moment he realized this truth, the head butler didn’t feel any delight.

How could he, when he knew how messed up the situation was?

Seeing the head butler silent, Gu Jin asked,

"What happened."

"If you can’t forget him just distance yourself." The head butler said in a firm tone.

Gu Jin was baffled.

However, the head butler’s words, made her feel a huge pressure in her heart and she nodded with a blank face.

"He won’t return for the next 2 years, so focus on yourself."

Gu Jin stood up and said,

"I am leaving."

The head butler didn’t stop her.

He just wished that one day Gu Jin would forget her feelings and control her dark thoughts.

What he didn’t know was that in the future, he would be the one giving dark ideas to Long Yifan, such as,

"I will pretend that she has forgotten some stuff and the moment she returns, you can use your authority as her XXXXXX and ask her to..."
