“Are you talking about Weiwei?” Luo Qianqian asked with a smile.

  Gu Yun Che smiled. “You have a picture with her in your phone and she hired someone to pick you up from Nice.”


  Luo Qianqian pursed her lips and said straightforwardly, “She was my high school classmate and a very good friend. She is also very talented in acting and directing.”


  “Even if you treat her as a friend, she may not treat you as one.” Gu Yun Che warned calmly. If Gu Weiwei truly regarded her as a friend, she would not have kept her identity a secret until now.

  Also, it was not certain whether it was Gu Weiwei or Fu Hanzheng who had brought her to meet him in Nice.

  “Mr. Gu, I know if she treats me as a friend or not.” Luo Qianqian looked displeased. Obviously, she did not want to hear anything bad about a friend from him.

  Weiwei did not like to discuss things with her and Ji Cheng, but according to what she knew about her, most of the time, even when she would talk with them, they would not be able to help her.

  But when she and Ji Cheng were in trouble, she always helped them.

  Gu Yun Che looked at her in silence for a few seconds and did not break the awkwardness between them until the waiter came to serve the dishes.

  Luo Qianqian picked up the knife and fork and ate in silence.

  Even though they were sitting opposite each other, they had only met a few times and they were strangers who only knew each other’s names.

  She had traveled thousands of miles from Hua Land to St. Malo but she could not enter his heart.

  After a long while, Gu Yun Che sensed that the girl sitting opposite him was in a low mood.

  “Are you angry?” “No.” Luo Qianqian denied.

  Gu Yun Che stayed silent for a moment before he apologized.

  “I am sorry for what I said.”


  For a moment, he wondered if she was here because of Gu Weiwei and Fu Hanzheng.

  He knew that everything was possible and that he should cut off all contact with her.

  But he could not make up his mind.

  Luo Qianqian shook her head. “It’s honestly nothing.”


  What she cared about was not what he said, but the distance between them.

  “Qianqian, just say it,” Gu Yun Che said.

  For some reason, he did not want to see her so disappointed.

  Luo Qianqian looked up at him for a long time and said with disappointment, “Forget it, it is useless.”


  She wanted to know who he was, where he came from and why he was a threat to Weiwei’s life. She wanted to know too much.

  And even if she asked, he would not answer her.

  “How would you know that it is useless if you do not tell me?” Gu Yun Che asked.

  Luo Qianqian stayed silent for a few seconds and said, “I just feel that although you are sitting in front of me, I don’t know you at all, and you don’t know me at all.”


  Gu Yun Che glanced at her. “We… don’t need that kind of understanding.”


  Luo Qianqian smiled sadly. “Yes, we don’t need it.”


  His answer was as she had expected, but the heavy disappointment was beyond her expectations.

  Gu Yun Che frowned in embarrassment. He had intended to apologize to ease her heart.

  But she seemed to be in an even worse mood now.

  When he saw her in the bay, he was surprised.

  But at this moment, he did not know if their meeting today was a good thing or a bad

  thing.
