Chapter 309: Chapter 329: Why Bring Up What’s Better Left Unsaid? _1

"You look quite a bit like the Gu Family’s Innate Grandmaster, don’t you?"

"Yes!"

Chu Jiaxue replied with a smile: "I wouldn’t say we’re exactly the same, but at least 80% similar. Speaking of which, let me show you a photo of my parents..."

Chu Jiaxue took out her mobile phone and flipped to a photo: "Nuò, this is a photo of me when I was little. Look at the pictures of my parents. I only look about three parts similar to my mom and even less like my dad."

Lin Chen took a close look at the photo, in which Chu Jiaxue was still very young. Her father looked handsome and steady, while her mother looked graceful and elegant, a perfect match.

After carefully comparing the faces of the three people in the photo and the grown-up Chu Jiaxue in front of him, Lin Chen found that Chu Jiaxue was not wrong.

Chu Jiaxue really only looked three parts like her mother and nothing like her father.

Lin Chen joked: "It seems that the genes of the Gu Family are indeed outstanding. After so many generations, you still look so similar. But I’ve heard that the elderly Grandmaster of the Gu Family was not only powerful in cultivation but also an exceptional beauty. I bet she had a lot of pursuers in the Cultivation World back then... "

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said: "That’s natural. I heard that someone even gave her the nickname ’Lingfeng Fairy’. You can imagine her demeanor back then."

Lin Chen laughed: "Since you said that you look 80% like her, I can naturally imagine what she looked like. It’s very fitting for an Innate Grandmaster to have such a nickname."

The two of them laughed and talked, walking through the entire house, including the backyard. Chu Jiaxue shared with Lin Chen many of her past experiences. Along the way, Chu Jiaxue’s emotions became much more relaxed.

Finally, the two returned to Chu Jiaxue’s bedroom, where she pressed the mattress with her hand and asked with a laugh: "There aren’t even any bedsheets. Can we sleep on this?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Don’t even mention a mattress. Even if it was just the floor, I could fall asleep easily. But what about you? Can you handle it?"

"No problem, you’re here anyway."

Chu Jiaxue answered naturally, and since it was already late, the two of them didn’t wander around anymore and lay directly on the bed.

Lin Chen watched Chu Jiaxue shifting her head to adjust her sleeping position, and he simply stretched out his arm: "Why don’t you use my arm as a pillow?"

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips: "Won’t it go numb?"

Lin Chen laughed and answered: "I’m a cultivator, my qi and blood are abundant. Your weight is a non-issue."

Even if it would go numb, he couldn’t say that.

"Thank you!"

Chu Jiaxue didn’t bother with any formalities, she leaned her head on Lin Chen’s arm, indirectly lying half in his arms.

Lying in this familiar room, even though all the furnishings had changed, the comforting feeling of familiarity was still there.

Chu Jiaxue’s emotions had been fluctuating earlier and now that she was calm, she soon felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Chen glanced at Chu Jiaxue, who had unconsciously curled up in his arms like a kitten, and a smile appeared on his face.

After a few seconds, Lin Chen suddenly regained consciousness. Wasn’t he going to probe her thoughts earlier?

How did he forget?

Perhaps because of their earlier conversations, which were filled with nostalgia, Lin Chen subconsciously didn’t want to bring up a potentially disappointing topic to ruin Chu Jiaxue’s mood?

Did Wang Jianbo tell on them, or not?

After some consideration, Lin Chen decided to give up on asking. No matter whether Wang Jianbo reported them or not, since Chu Jiaxue hadn’t taken the initiative to ask, wouldn’t it be a clear sign of guilt only if he pushed forward the issue?

If Wang Jianbo hadn’t told on them, then asking about it would be like running headfirst into a knife. If he had told her, but Chu Jiaxue didn’t care, then asking would also be a case of digging his own grave.

So, he decided not to ask!

When morning came, Chu Jiaxue woke up as usual and saw Lin Chen open his eyes. She smiled and said: "We should go back to the hotel, we need to wash up and change our clothes. We can’t go to work like this..."

Lin Chen laughed: "Alright, how did you sleep?"

Chu Jiaxue smiled: "It was great. Later, we’ll get some bedding and pillows, and we’ll be able to sleep here directly."

Lin Chen laughed: "Okay, then after we knock off work, let’s go shopping together. We can move in in the evening."

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes lit up with delight: "Great, let’s have dinner together tonight?"

"Sure!"

They went to work leisurely, slacking off for another day. At one point, they even had to deal with the curious and gossipy Zuo Yingying, who was very interested in Chu Jiaxue’s reaction after Wang Jianbo tattled on them.

After learning that Lin Chen hadn’t asked about it and that Chu Jiaxue didn’t show any abnormalities, Zuo Yingying laughed: "There are two possibilities. Either Wang Jianbo didn’t tattle, or Chu Jiaxue doesn’t plan to deal with you and is just pretending nothing happened..."

Lin Chen laughed: "I know, so of course I won’t be looking for trouble."

Zuo Yingying laughed: "If it’s the former, there’s no need to say anything. But if it’s the latter, her reaction might be quite interesting. Maybe if you put some effort into it, the red flag won’t fall, and the colored flags will flutter. You might still have a chance..."
