Chapter 380: Chapter 400: What Is This, Covering One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell? _1

Like a frightened little deer, Gu Yuexi struggled a bit, pushing Lin Chen’s chest, putting some distance between herself and Gu Chen. At the same time, she pressed down on Lin Chen’s big hand with her own.

Lin Chen didn’t move.

He lowered his head to look into Gu Yuexi’s eyes, his gaze inquiring.

Gu Yuexi dared not meet Lin Chen’s eyes, fearing that her already unsteady resolve would completely collapse.

Lin Chen sighed inwardly as the heat in his eyes cooled slowly. He withdrew his hand, turned over, and rolled to the side.

Perhaps if he had persisted a bit longer, Gu Yuexi would have agreed. However, since she showed resistance, Lin Chen did not want to go against her inner feelings.

Gu Yuexi let out a sigh of relief. The little resistance she put up had already exhausted her willpower.

God knows how difficult it was for her to make this move. After all, she had experienced this situation countless times in her dreams and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

It wasn’t that she didn’t love Lin Chen enough or wasn’t willing to give herself to him, but Lin Chen’s wife was Chu Jiaxue.

"Brother, I’m sorry..."

Lin Chen covered Gu Yuexi’s mouth with his hand and softly consoled her, "Why are you apologizing? It’s me who was impulsive."

Gu Yuexi reached out to pull Lin Chen’s hand away and insisted on explaining, "Brother, I do like you, but I want to wait until my sister comes back and have a proper talk with her. Although I’ve dreamed of this scene many times and have been looking forward to it for a long time, I feel like a thief when it happens now..."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen gently agreed, "Then let’s wait until she comes back."

Gu Yuexi turned to face Lin Chen, staring into his eyes, "You won’t be angry, right?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Of course not. It’s good that you’re doing this; I was the one who was anxious."

Gu Yuexi lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and reached out fumblingly.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment, staring at Gu Yuexi.

What was this?

Was she trying to deceive herself?

...

"How much longer does your course have?"

In the restaurant, Lin Chen mixed the noodles in his large sea bowl, making the chili and noodles blend evenly. The bright red chili oil stimulated Lin Chen’s already ravenous appetite.

Gu Yuexi’s noodle-lifting gesture was much more elegant, or perhaps it’s just that pretty women look good doing anything: "There’s still half a month until the course ends."

Lin Chen calculated, "After that, I’ll probably go into Closed Door Cultivation for half a month, and then I plan to go to Xijing."

Gu Yuexi stopped her noodle-lifting motion, "What are you going to Xijing for?"

Lin Chen explained, "Chu Tianyu is in Xijing, and my mother’s family is also in Xijing. The people who were hunting and killing my parents are also in Xijing, so I have to go take a look."

Gu Yuexi asked softly, "How long will you stay there?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I don’t know. It might take a while, but it could also be a short time."

Gu Yuexi hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage, "I’m not a Cultivator, and I know I can’t help you, but I still want to go with you... You don’t have to worry, I won’t interfere with what you have to do. I just want to see you when you’re free."

Lin Chen laughed, "Okay!"

Gu Yuexi was taken aback, then her eyes were filled with surprise and joy as she looked at Lin Chen, "You’ll let me go with you?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, if you want to go, just go. I’ll have Han Wei accompany you and ensure your safety."

Gu Yuexi was overjoyed, "I thought you would try to persuade me, saying that it’s unsafe in Xijing, and ask me to stay in Linhai or go back to Pingjiang."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There is indeed some danger, but I think you’re not afraid, right?"

Gu Yuexi nodded excitedly, "I’m not afraid! I’d rather face danger with you than wait at home like a fool. Even if there is real danger, I think it’s worth it. I don’t like waiting without end."

"Okay."

Lin Chen wanted to take Gu Yuexi to Xijing because he might stay there for a long time on this trip.

Apart from dealing with the people he had to deal with and continuing to search for his parents, he also had to go to the Feng Family.

It’s not that he wanted to be recognized by the Feng Family; he wanted to go there to get information about his parents. As his mother’s relatives, they should know more about his parents than others.

As for whether the Feng family would recognize him as a relative, Lin Chen didn’t care much.

Blood can only prove the relationship biologically. The true family is affectionate.

Why is the family so important?

It’s because of affection.

Why are distant relatives not as close as neighbors?

It’s because one only has blood ties but no emotional investment, so naturally they don’t have affection.

The combination of Lin Chen’s mother and father was not recognized by the Feng family. He, a child from a disapproved relationship, had not grown up in the Feng family since he was young and was considered an outsider. Even though they had a blood relationship, it would be understandable if they didn’t recognize Lin Chen as family.

Lin Chen had a feeling that in Xijing, there would be many exciting things waiting for him.

"What about your job as a security guard?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’ll resign, of course! As for me, the rebellious young master, my character fits that of returning home after having enough. It’s very reasonable..."
