Chapter 1274: Li Yuanzhi, Who Was Reluctant to Part

The different thoughts of the crowd did not affect Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing Li Yuanzhi still stunned,

his indifferent expression softened, and he smiled and asked again:

"What is your name?"

Li Yuanzhi finally came back to her senses upon hearing this.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face, which was harmful to physical and mental health, from a close distance,

a blush appeared on her pretty face.

It made her already beautiful face look even more charming.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan had no intention of making a move,

she said cautiously:

"My name is Li Yuanzhi."

Gu Hanyuan smiled warmly:

"A good name; Miss Li is as her name suggests, pure and kind. And she has courage that ordinary people cannot match."

Li Yuanzhi listened to Gu Hanyuan's straightforward praise.

She said quite embarrassedly:

"Young Master Gu is too kind."

By now, she had recovered.

She said uneasily:

"My father didn't know that young lady was your confidante, Young Master; as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, can you let my father go?"

Gu Hanyuan shook his head and said indifferently:

"The excuse that those who don't know are not guilty cannot convince me to let Li Kexiu go."

Li Yuanzhi was anxious upon hearing this, and just as she was about to say something,

she saw Gu Hanyuan reveal a gentle smile again and say:

"However, considering Miss Li's commendable courage, I won't make things difficult for him this time."

Li Yuanzhi looked at the gently smiling Gu Hanyuan in a daze.

In a short period, her mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.

Especially hearing that Gu Hanyuan let Li Kexiu go for her sake,

her heart pounded even more.

Her usual cunning, intelligence, and straightforwardness were all gone.

Only the shyness of a young girl remained.

She lowered her head and said:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan smiled warmly:

"No need to thank me; this was won by Miss Li's courage."

Li Yuanzhi quietly looked up.

The blush on her face deepened a bit more.

She thought to herself:

"How can someone smile so beautifully?"

Li Yuanzhi was a bold and generous person after all.

By now, she had recovered.

She wanted to say a few more words to Gu Hanyuan.

Li Kexiu pulled her behind him.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your magnanimity."

Although his tone was respectful, his eyes were looking at Gu Hanyuan as if guarding against a wolf.

Although Li Kexiu was keen on power,

Li Yuanzhi's status in his heart was higher.

Based on his understanding of Gu Hanyuan,

he really didn't want Li Yuanzhi to get involved with him.

Even his fear of Gu Hanyuan was suppressed.

Gu Hanyuan's expression faded, and he looked straight at Li Kexiu.

Li Kexiu also looked back without any fear.

Seeing this, Li Yuanzhi was somewhat nervous.

Worried that the two would clash again.

However, the smile Gu Hanyuan put back on made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Hanyuan smiled and praised:

"A tiger father has no dog daughter."

Li Kexiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Just now, although he faced Gu Hanyuan directly for Li Yuanzhi's sake,

his mind was still quite nervous. ===== CHAPTER 1276 =====
