Gu Qingtong looked where Lüguo pointed, which seemed even more upscale, and nodded in agreement.
The waiter at Zhiwei Zhai didn’t recognize her, and the place was busy, so Gu Qingtong had to wait a while.
“Qingtong?”
Gu Qingtong was stunned. It was unexpected to run into Jiang Shangheng, but now she’d encountered Hua Jianwei.
“Qingtong, it really is you,” Hua Jianwei looked delighted.
Gu Qingtong turned to leave, but he grabbed her arm.
“Young Master Hua, please show some respect.”
“Qingtong, I…” Seeing people around starting to whisper, Hua Jianwei said, “Can we talk in a private room?”
“No.”
“If you don’t agree, I won’t let go. In the end, you’ll be the one people point at,” Hua Jianwei suddenly became shameless.
Gu Qingtong looked at the people around and reluctantly agreed, following him upstairs. But after Hua Jianwei sat at the table, she moved to the window: “Young Master Hua, let’s be clear today. I truly have no feelings for you, so please stop pestering me.”
Hua Jianwei stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, “Qingtong, I heard you accepted gifts from the Rui Prince?”
Gu Qingtong was surprised the news had spread so quickly but laughed indifferently: “So what?”
“Are you refusing me because you’ve found someone better?” Hua Jianwei’s expression was strange as he glared at Gu Qingtong.
“Hah, do you think the Rui Prince would like me?”
Seeing her unconcerned attitude, Hua Jianwei became furious: “The Rui Prince sent you gifts, and you accepted them.”
Although Gu Qingtong had nothing with Yuan Zherui, she didn’t want to explain to Hua Jianwei, so she said casually: “Young Master Hua, we’re not related. Even if something were happening between me and the Rui Prince, I wouldn’t need to explain to you.”
“Not related? We shared a bed for three days,” Hua Jianwei’s face darkened, and he suddenly stepped closer.
Gu Qingtong quickly dodged and ran to the door, wanting to escape, but Hua Jianwei actually lunged and grabbed her waist.
“Qingtong, come with me. My grandmother has agreed to take you as a concubine. I truly like you. Don’t go with the Rui Prince. He’s not a good man!”
