Seeing Uncle Xiang come back again, Gu Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Xiang contemplated and said, "Last year and the year before, Miss Gu had Mr. Chi by her side, but this year there's no Mr. Chi. If Madam asks about it, what should I say?"
Uncle Xiang asked on purpose, wanting to gauge Gu Yuan's thoughts, to see if there was really no turning back for the two of them.
It was rare for Uncle Xiang to mention Chi Yu's name in front of her, which surprised Gu Yuan a little. "It's nothing big. If she really asks, just say we broke up. There's nothing to hide about it."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiang paused and said, "Miss Gu, you and Mr. Chi..."
He stopped mid-sentence and looked at Gu Yuan, thinking of something to say, and then advised earnestly, "Miss Gu, you may not like to hear this, but I still want to say, Mr. Chi is worth it, at least for you he is. He's a good man."
That phrase, 'he's a good man,' made Gu Yuan laugh.
It wasn't mockery; it lightened her entire mood.
