Chapter 26

Gu Xiao had never thought that in the next instant, she would be pulled into a warm embrace. His embrace was very, very tight, and the aura that belonged to Chu An surged towards her from all directions.

Chu Ans arms wrapped around her head and waist, and a numbing sensation spread over, causing Gu Xiao to involuntarily sink into this feeling. She too raised her arms to return the embrace.

I thought you didnt want me anymore Chu An murmured in grievance.

How could that be? I have always loved you, Gu Xiao consoled softly.

After embracing for a while, Chu An reluctantly let go of Gu Xiao and mumbled, Xiaoxiao, Im sorry. I didnt do it on purpose.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, its all right. Gu Xiao comforted him.

Xiaoxiao, I really hate that girl called Ji Yao. She keeps coming over, and I dont want to stay with her. Chu An began to complain.

I hate her too. I have plans. Do you trust me? Gu Xiao looked into Chu Ans eyes.

Of course I trust Xiaoxiao! Chu An took the clothes from Gu Xiaos hands, and said, Ill help you wash them!

All right, lets wash them together.

The two of them exchanged a smile.

Xiaoxiao, can you tell me what happened between you and Ji Yao? I want to know. Chu An still had many questions in his mind.

How should I put it? The me you know was my second life after my rebirth. My first life was here, and at that time, my everything was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Ji Yao. As Gu Xiao washed the clothes, she continued, If I tell you that the princess of the Ji Family was originally supposed to be me, would you believe me?

I believe you, Ill believe whatever you say, Chu An said firmly.

The present me is still too weak, so it is still not the best time for revenge. I want to become stronger, and stand at a very high position, so I can s.n.a.t.c.h back all that they owe me, one by one. Gu Xiaos eyes were firm.

Ill accompany you. Whatever you do, Ill accompany you. Chu An looked at her, and said with bright eyes, In my last life, I didnt manage to accompany you to the end. No matter what happens in this life, I definitely wont leave you alone!

It will take a very long time to wash these clothes, so dont be so cheeky. Gu Xiaos face flushed red and her heart beat faster when she heard the confession from Chu An. She hurriedly stopped him.

Chu An gave an en, and the ice-cold expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and comfortable expression. Anyone who had previously known Chu An, or even Chu Ans own parents, would be shocked upon seeing this.

So Chu An had such a cute and soft side? The two of them carefully washed all the clothes, and after placing them in the machine to dry, Gu Xiao and Chu An chatted and laughed as they walked back.

Ji Yao looked at the two of them, whose relations.h.i.+p had suddenly warmed up, and couldnt help but feel a little confused. They had only gone to wash clothes, but why did she feel like there was now completely no barrier between the two of them?

Ji Yao knew that she wouldnt be able to get Chu An, so she decided to just garner Gu Xiaos disgust.

What Ji Yao thought was that Gu Xiao must like Chu An, but it was possible that Chu An was only helping Gu Xiaohu because it was refres.h.i.+ng. Previously, regarding the school forum, Ji Yaos father had already told everyone to keep their mouths shut and delete their posts. Thus, she had to show on screen that her relations.h.i.+p with Chu An was not just a simple friends.h.i.+p, which would push Gu Xiao to the forefront of public opinion.

Ji Yao felt that Chu An couldnt possibly like Gu Xiao. One of them was a bird in the sky, while the other was an undergroundrat

. How could they possibly be together?

Thus, when Chu An walked into the room again, Ji Yao prepared a brightly smiling face and came out to meet him. Chu An, youve returned. Thank you for

Not at all. Thank you. Stay away from me, were not familiar with each other. He fired off four consecutive rejections quickly.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Yao, who was frozen in place, and almost laughed out loud.

Her Chu An really had double standards, didnt he?

At first, Chu Ans expression was filled with happiness, but when Ji Yao came over, he immediately put on a dark expression. That expression was clearly one of disdain.

Additionally, Ji Yao, I dont like you, and I will never like you either. Dont stick close to me all day, I fear that Gu Xiao will misunderstand. As he walked past Ji Yao, Chu An left behind these words.

What did he mean? Ji Yao didnt dare believe her ears. Was Chu An telling her that he was already a couple with Gu Xiao?

How could this be! How could this be! Ji Yao gritted her teeth so hard that they were close to shattering from the force, and looked at the sweet scene of their backs angrily.

On the other side, Chu An took Gu Xiaos hand and walked to stand in front of Grandma Jin, telling her, Grandma, this girl and I are actually a couple. Im not familiar with that Ji Yao, so can you not force us to do these things together in the future?

Grandma Jin frowned. It wasnt that she couldnt tell that Chu An didnt want to stay with Ji Yao, but
