“Yes; I can do a lot of things, but I’m not really good at them.” While chatting with him, Gu Bailu wondered what was taking Qian’er so long.

  She was acting too warmly toward Bai Yunyi today, which would give him false hope.

  “That’s already impressive enough.” Bai Yunyi didn’t hide his appreciation.

  Gu Bailu felt that he was really one hell of an actor to tell such a great lie against his conscience.

  “What are you talking about? I’m just a piece of garbage. There’s nothing impressive about me. I don’t have much spiritual power.” Gu Bailu snorted. She knew very well how weak she was.

  She was far weaker than Bai Yunyi, or she wouldn’t have almost been killed by him.

  “But love isn’t based on spiritual power.”

  Bai Yunyi’s words touched Gu Bailu deeply. She chuckled. “That’s because you’re different.”

  A truly powerful man wouldn’t have to consider their love’s strength, wealth or position, because they didn’t need to marry in order to further increase their own wealth or power.

  Bai Yunyi was probably that type of person. That was why he said that love wasn’t based on spiritual power.

  In fact, it was only because he had yet to face any obstacles which he couldn’t overcome. Once he ran up against obstacles that were too challenging for him to handle, he might not be as free-spirited.

  It was just like Feng Qingtian, who had to push her away because of the heavenly and hellish retributions.

  There were great powers everywhere in this world. Just because Bai Yunyi said this now didn’t mean that he would stand by it forever.

  Gu Bailu wasn’t really convinced.

  She knew that he was acting unbridled only because he was able to.

  Back then, Feng Qingtian had also been unbridled and took her in when everybody considered her garbage.

  But what about now?

  On the surface, they had completely broken up, and deep in their hearts, their feelings for each other were starting to waver.

  At the very least, she felt that Feng Qingtian’s love was incomplete and flawed.

  At first, she had faith in him and trusted that he would never look for another woman, but now, she was beginning to have doubts.

  That was the tragedy of love; it wasn’t indestructible, and could be easily shattered by a minor test.

  “What’s your type?” Bai Yunyi asked her.

  “I don’t know…… Someone like you, for now.” Gu Bailu grinned at him.

  She really didn’t know what her type was.

  Actually, she vaguely felt that she was scared of falling in love with someone, as if it would deprive her of her dignity and make her pitiful.

  “That’s good. I like me, too.” Bai Yunyi had a mouthful of milk tea and asked, “What’s this? It’s delicious.”

  Gu Bailu chuckled. “You think that’s delicious? You’ll be served more delicious drinks later.”


  542 Make Bai Yunyi Betray Himself 3

  Gu Bailu had barely said the words when Qian’er came in with a tray. Gu Bailu quickly said, “It’s ready now. Here. This is the miraculous tea made by a tea master in my residence. It’s sweet and refreshing.”

  There were two cups of tea on the tray that Qian’er was holding. The tea was slightly red, with two chrysanthemums and several goji floating on the surface.

  Qian’er served each of them a cup of tea without expression.

  Bai Yunyi was a little surprised when he took a look at her. “Are all the maids in your house as pretty as this?”

  Qian’er was wearing the maid’s uniform, and she had especially left her hair unkempt, but her beauty still couldn’t be covered up.

  Bai Yunyi had sharp eyes.

  “Mr. Bai, are you saying I should give her to you?” Gu Bailu teased with a faint smile.

  “Ms. Gu, you’re really generous. But I’ve said even nicer things about you, so why won’t you give yourself to me?” Bai Yunyi observed the tea carefully.

  “It doesn’t matter how you flatter me. I belong only to myself, and I won’t give myself to anyone. Why are you just staring at the tea?” Gu Bailu was a little nervous.

  She felt a little guilty as she had never done this before.

  Bai Yunyi frowned. “I don’t like flower tea.”

  Gu Bailu gave a light exclamation. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that you don’t like flower tea……”

  “That’s fine. One’s preferences can always change. Since you offered this to me, I’ll drink it even if it’s poison.” Bai Yunyi drank the tea.

  Gu Bailu didn’t know what to say. Why are you talking as if you’re sacrificing yourself for me?

  Bai Yunyi looked a little pained. His brow remained furrowed even after he drank the tea.

  “That was really inconsiderate of me……” said Gu Bailu apologetically.

  She would’ve told Qian’er not to add chrysanthemums if she had known his preference.

  But thankfully, the man didn’t turn the tea down since he was still pursuing her.

  “That’s fine. The tea is delicious. But I love flowers. I would rather bury them than use them for other purposes.” Bai Yunyi put the cup down and his eyebrows finally relaxed.

  “I’m truly sorry. As a gesture of apology, I can give this maid to you……”

  “Enough kidding. I’m not short of beautiful girls.” Bai Yunyi frowned again.

  Gu Bailu laughed. “It was just a joke. Do you really think I would give her to you? I wouldn’t give her away even for ten cities!”

  With a smile, Gu Bailu looked at Qian’er.

  Qian’er nodded her head subtly.

  “I don’t have ten cities.” Bai Yunyi smiled and said, “Were you testing me?”

  “It was just a joke. Don’t take it seriously.” She had only said it for fun.

  “Don’t worry. I have more beautiful girls around me than there are in the royal palace, but you’re the only one who occupies my heart.”

  Gu Bailu’s eyes twitched. Bro, can you stop proclaiming your love for a moment?

  “Have you ever loved anyone before?” asked Gu Bailu.
