Chapter 63: Whatever Decision You Make, I Will Support You

"I am Gu Die, I want to know if Liuli is with you."

"Liuli, she... is here."

Yu Ke said stutteringly. Gu Die actually called her!

Liuli heard Yu Ke mention her name and looked puzzled.

"If she's there, that's good. Please take good care of her for me, thank you."

Gu Die hung up the phone, and Yu Ke was still stunned.

Was that person who just called Gu Die? He actually used a very polite tone with her? And even said thank you to her? That was really unexpected. Gu Shao actually said thank you to her? The number of people he had said thank you to could be counted on one hand, and she was one of them!

Liuli really didn't know what was worth being happy about.

"Who called? Why did they mention me?"

Liuli asked curiously.

"Guess."

"I don't want to guess."

Liuli said coldly.

"It's Gu Die!"

"Why did he call you?"

"He asked me to take good care of you, and even said thank you to me. That's really unexpected. Gu Shao actually said thank you to me? The number of people he's said thank you to can be counted on one

"Liuli, it's not like you don't know that Gu Die is a famously cold-faced man, always looking so cynical. The tone he used to speak to me just now was nothing like the him from before, you know?"

"Don't bring him up. I get annoyed the moment he's mentioned."

"Alright, I won't mention him. Don't be angry, hurry up and eat."

While they were chatting, the meal was prepared and served.

"Tell me, what good thing happened today?"

Liuli asked; Yu Ke's enthusiasm was truly a bit hard to handle.

"It's nothing, really. The key is that I'm in a good mood."

"Aside from Bai Xu, I don't think anyone else could put you in such a good mood, right?"

Liuli teased.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Look at how flustered you are. I don't think I'm wrong. How far have you and him actually progressed?"

Liuli asked gossiping.

"Just to the level of good friends!"

"I don't believe that."

"We've only progressed a little bit, really."

"Progressed how much?"

Liuli pressed.

"Just a little bit. Are you going to eat or not?"

"I'm eating, of course I'm eating, I'm starving. You must notify me first when you and him get married."

"We've only progressed a little bit, how did we get to talking about marriage? Hurry up and eat to shut your mouth!"

"Then don't say I eat too much later!"

"I won't. I won't say a word even after you finish! Besides, it was prepared for you in the first place."

After the meal, Zihan led Liuli to her room.

Yu Ke likes pink, even her room is pink, full of girlish heart.

"Looking at your room makes people want to fall in love. No wonder you act like a lovesick fool every time you see a handsome guy."

Liuli teased Yu Ke.

"What does wanting to fall in love have to do with acting like a lovesick fool over handsome guys? I don't look at looks when I'm looking for a partner, okay?" Yu Ke explained, "Then you wouldn't have taken a fancy to Young Master Gu because he's handsome, would you?"

"That was him taking a fancy to me. Su Yu Ke, why is Gu Die always on your lips?"

"I... I don't know either, it just slipped out."

"Yu Ke, Ze Yan says I look like Siyun."

Liuli wanted to share this worry with Yu Ke; perhaps she could help her resolve some of her doubts, or even if she couldn't, it wouldn't be bottled up inside forever.

"Shen Zeyan? He thinks you look like Siyun? Did he really say that to you?"

Yu Ke asked a series of questions.

"He said I look like Siyun, yet I don't."

"So is it a resemblance or not?"

"I don't know, but Siyun and I are complete opposites. I'm afraid of the dark, Siyun isn't. I'm afraid of thunder, Siyun isn't either."

"Since he knows that, why does he still think you look like her?"

"I also feel inexplicably familiar with him. It's just that I feel like I wouldn't refuse any request Ze Yan makes. It's very strange." Liuli said, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling in thought.

"I also feel a different kind of closeness to Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu."

"You've already met Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu?"

"Yes, Brother Ze Yan took me to the Chu Family for a meal at noon today."

"Liuli, you even went to the Chu Family? If Gu Die finds out about this..." Yu Ke realized she had mentioned Gu Die and quickly changed the subject.

"But this is a good thing. Shen Zeyan taking you to the Chu Family proves he values you highly. Regardless of whether you look like Siyun or not, you might even be able to resolve the long-standing conflict between their two families."

"I feel, I probably, maybe, could be Chu Siyun."

Ever since she saw Siyun's Longevity Lock, she knew her different feelings for Ze Yan weren't inexplicable.

She also understood that she was Chu Siyun. The places Ze Yan took her to, she was very familiar with, as was Siyun's room; they all made her remember things bit by bit.

"If you are Siyun, wouldn't you be Ze Yan's fiancée? But you've married Gu Die, what are you going to do?"

"I can divorce him."

"Divorce whom?"

Yu Ke asked with wide eyes.

"Gu Die."

"But, it's clear he loves you. A man as cold as him treats you so well, he even called specifically to ask about you just now."

"But he chose Feng Wei. Since he made that decision, I should fulfill his wish."

"Liuli, you must think clearly. This isn't a game. Could it be that Young Master Gu didn't choose you to protect you?"

"Is letting me wait for death protecting me?"

Liuli retorted. This feeling of waiting for death was so painful, so painful.

Although she had only experienced it this once, she always felt she had experienced this feeling of waiting for death before.

"Liuli..."

"Yu Ke, do you understand how I feel? I love him, but he disregards my life and death, do you understand?"

Liuli spoke her true feelings.

Yu Ke lay down beside her.

"Liuli, no matter what decision you make, I support you."

"Yu Ke, thank you."

"Liuli, whether you are Siyun or Liuli, you are my friend. And, it is I who should thank you, thank you for letting me see so much beauty."

When Yu Ke first met Liuli, she was in such a dim alley, keeping company with stray cats. Even though her own life was not good, she was still generous to others.

Understanding, kind-hearted, this was the Liuli she saw. She just didn't like to express herself or get close to people.

She admired her, that stubbornness of growing towards the sun.

"You also let me see a lot of beauty."

Among the wealthy people and young ladies Liuli had come into contact with, very few were like Yu Ke, without any airs of a young lady.

Before, when she was helping Abo at the barbecue shop, she didn't complain about hardship or fatigue. She saw something different in her.

Very warm, very reassuring.

"Liuli, we two must stay this good forever."

"Mm."

Liuli nodded solemnly. She would definitely do her best to realize this, for Yu Ke, for herself, for them.

"Cheng Li, is something the matter?"

Liuli saw the caller ID was Cheng Li and answered the phone.

"Are you okay? Where are you now?"

"I'm fine, I'm at Yu Ke's house now."

"Are you really okay? You scared me to death. Why did Shen Zeyan kidnap you? I thought he was a good person before!"

"He is indeed a good person. As for kidnapping me, that's a long story. He didn't intend to hurt me at all, on the contrary, he treated me very well. Don't worry."

"Liuli, I still think you should divorce Gu Die as soon as possible."

Cheng Li advised. He had also heard that Gu Die only went to save Feng Wei.

"He made that choice, he's not worth you liking him, don't be silly."

"I know, I know all of that."

"As long as you know. I just don't want to see you sink deeper and deeper, and end up being the one who gets hurt."

"Okay, I understand."

"Then stay at Yu Ke's house properly, and call me the first moment anything happens."

"Okay."

"Don't you worry! I won't let Liuli go until I've fattened her up!"

Yu Ke said loudly into the phone.

Cheng Li had been getting along quite well with Zihan and having a lot of fun, but later, upon hearing the news about Liuli, his mood instantly soured, and so did Zihan's.

"Cousin, it's so late, why are you still eating alone? Where is Liuli?"

Zihan only saw Gu Die's solitary figure and asked.

Gu Die eating alone there felt somewhat desolate.

"Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat together."

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm just hungry."

Zihan said, sitting down.

"Where is Liuli?"

Zihan asked again.

"She went to Yu Ke's house today."

Zihan understood. Liuli must be heartbroken. In such a situation, anyone would be heartbroken.

"Cousin, is what's being rumored outside true?"

"What rumors?"

"That you didn't save Liuli? And instead saved Feng Wei."

"Is that important?"

"Of course it's important. Stop pretending. Liuli even went to Yu Ke's and doesn't want to come back. She must have been deeply hurt by you." Zihan said.

"You don't save your own wife, but instead save your former fiancée. If it were me, I would definitely divorce you."

Gu Die heard the word "divorce" and gave Zihan a cold look.

"I'm right, aren't I! Do you really not love Liuli? Could it be that the person you truly love is Feng Wei?!"

"Lao Zihan, can you stop guessing wildly?"

"My kind of guessing is very normal, okay? I just want to ask you one question now, and you must answer me seriously." Zihan suddenly became serious.

"Ask."

"Do you have Liuli in your heart at all?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"I'm just asking. If you don't love Liuli, let her go. She is my, Lao Zihan's, friend. I don't want her to be hurt, and no one is allowed to hurt her."

"You have friends too?"

"I have a bad temper and it's not easy for me to make friends, but she, Chu Liuli, has long been my friend. If you dare to hurt her, I won't be done with you."

"Is that so?"

Gu Die sneered.

"Of course! Don't think I'm afraid of you, and even if I am, so what! If you dare to fail Liuli, I won't acknowledge you as my cousin anymore!"

"I won't fail her. Choosing to save Feng Wei was a last resort. I can tell you that the place in my heart is completely occupied by her alone."

Gu Die got up and left after saying this, Zihan was actually satisfied with what he said.
