123. Chapter 123: Recognized!

"Gu Chexi?"

Hearing this name, Luo Shiqing was completely baffled; who was this? What was Tinglan talking about? Why couldn't she understand a word of it?

But upon hearing this name, Luo Xixi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her whole body froze instantly. She widened her eyes to the limit, looking at Sheng Tinglan in shock and disbelief, her mind buzzing incessantly.

Gu Chexi.

Gu Chexi?

Gu Chexi???

Why would this name come out of the male lead's mouth?

This was clearly...!!!

Yan Yu had not expected this person to use such a direct way to hint at his identity. His expression turned gloomy to the extreme, but then he laughed instead, saying in an extremely mocking and playful tone, "Ha, how do you still have the face to appear before Xixi? You guy should just get the hell out of Xixi's world!"

"..."

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Sheng Tinglan's face darkened, and he glared at Yan Yu.

Why would this man say such a thing?

As expected.

He was also a person from that world, and he knew very well what had happened between him and Xixi. Looking at Yan Yu's demeanor and tone, the face of an arrogant and flamboyant man immediately surfaced in Sheng Tinglan's mind.

Qi Yuan!

This person must be Qi Yuan!

He had actually come to this Book World too, and had recognized Xixi even earlier than he had!!

No wonder he had always failed to follow the plot before; clearly, he should have been following the plot with Luo Shiqing, yet he was always sticking to Xixi! What a wolf's ambition! His heart deserved to be punished!

And speaking of Qi Yuan, Sheng Tinglan's memory was still fresh!

After all, this guy was always hovering around Xixi and would always speak ill of him in front of Xixi without any concealment, although in the end, under his instigation, Xixi had eventually broken ties with Qi Yuan.

But he hadn't expected this man to be so persistent, even chasing after Xixi to this world!

What right did this man have to speak about the matters between him and Xixi?

It was truly ridiculous!

Seeing that Yan Yu was still holding Luo Xixi's hand, Sheng Tinglan found it an eyesore no matter how he looked at it. He stepped forward directly, wanting to pull Yan Yu's hand away, and said to Luo Xixi, "Xixi, listen to me, it's a misunderstanding! I have never..."

But before Sheng Tinglan could finish speaking, Yan Yu pushed him backward, blocked Luo Xixi again, and sneered, "What misunderstanding? Didn't you do all those things? Why are you acting innocent now?!"

!!!

Sheng Tinglan was furious and confronted Yan Yu, saying, "Is it your place to shout here about my affairs with Xixi? Move aside, I want to talk to Xixi!"

How could Yan Yu possibly move?

"You did that kind of thing to Xixi, and now you still want to pester her? Do you still have any shame?"

"Get lost! What do you know about the things between us?"

"I know better than you!"

"Ridiculous! You don't know a damn thing!"

Luo Xixi: "(⊙mouth⊙)!!"

Seeing the two men start a verbal battle, both Luo Xixi and Luo Shiqing were dumbfounded.

Sheng Tinglan just said there was a misunderstanding; what misunderstanding?

Luo Xixi's mind was completely muddled and confused. Moreover, listening to the content of their conversation, it seemed they both knew something, yet she was the only one in the dark. But how was she supposed to ask?

【Tong'er, what exactly is going on?】

Luo Xixi was lost, completely losing her composure.

The Baby System was going crazy at this moment. It felt that both the male lead and the second male lead were frantically testing the boundaries of the rules, but because they were both speaking in code, it didn't know if this would be judged as a violation.

It wanted to tell its Host to run quickly and not get involved in the crossfire, but the Host was clearly one of the parties involved, and it was also very curious about what the male lead and second male lead were talking about, ahhhhhhh!!!

Luo Shiqing was also going crazy now.

She was a complete outsider and couldn't figure anything out. She had clearly heard every word, but when put together, she couldn't understand a single sentence.

What misunderstanding?

What affairs between him and Xixi?

How could Tinglan call that bitch Luo Xixi so intimately??

【System!! Get out here! What is the situation now? Tell me quickly!!!!】

The Heartthrob System had carried out missions so many times, but this was the first time it had encountered this situation. It had figured it out: the male lead clearly had a system too! So there were now four Transmigrators in this book.

And it was very obvious that the male lead, the second male lead, and that Cannon Fodder Luo Xixi were Transmigrators who knew each other.

How the hell was this supposed to be played!!

This was cheating!

Cheating!!!

But the Heartthrob System didn't dare tell Luo Shiqing about this, otherwise, its Host would likely go even more insane.

And even more confused than Luo Shiqing were the NPCs at the birthday banquet.

Their eyes were wide open, and they all looked toward the balcony in unison. Seeing the gunpowder between the two men escalating, as if they were about to start a fight, they were so shocked that their jaws were about to hit the floor.

What on earth was going on???

They had originally thought Sheng Tinglan's appearance was to provoke the Sheng Family and issue a challenge, so why was he now arguing with Yan Yu? And it seemed like they were arguing over Luo Xixi, the real daughter the Luo Family had just recognized?

And what about the other daughter of the Luo Family? Some people had heard before that Miss Luo Shiqing had a close relationship with Sheng Tinglan, so why did she look more like a bystander now?

This high society circle was too messy!

Sheng Tinglan was also about to explode with anger now. That damn Qi Yuan kept blocking him from talking to Xixi; his intentions were truly obvious to everyone!

However.

The more he acted this way, the more certain Sheng Tinglan felt.

This man was clearly afraid of Xixi learning the truth!

So Sheng Tinglan also hit the nail on the head; after steadying his breath, he sneered at Yan Yu, "Are you so afraid of me talking to Xixi because you're afraid that once Xixi knows the truth, she will return to my side?"

"..."

He had hit the mark.

Yan Yu's eyes darkened; he pressed his lips together, yet he still forced a smile and said coldly, "Xixi isn't that brainless. No matter what, what you did to Xixi is set in stone. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have fallen into such a slump, and even..."

"Is that so? Then do you dare to let me have a private chat with Xixi?"

Sheng Tinglan asked back mockingly.

"..."

Yan Yu stopped speaking again, his expression turning even darker.

Luo Xixi was already becoming confused by these two people; she looked left, then right, then shook off Yan Yu's hand and walked between the two of them. She rubbed her forehead to calm herself down and said, "No matter what you two are trying to say, this isn't the place for it. Let's go somewhere else to talk!"

As she spoke.

Luo Xixi glanced at the crowd of onlookers in the hall.

Being stared at directly by so many gazes, even with her strong mental fortitude, Luo Xixi couldn't hold it together anymore!

Sheng Tinglan changed his usual demeanor, showing Luo Xixi a gentle smile that was almost suffocating, and said, "Alright, I'll listen to Xixi."

"..."

Suddenly being treated so gently by the man, Luo Xixi felt like goosebumps were about to fall all over the floor; if the occasion weren't wrong, she would really want to ask him: Gu Chexi, is something wrong with your brain?

Didn't he want to kill her before for the sake of that woman named Susu?

He was clearly so heartless.

How did he seem like a completely different person after changing worlds?

Is he alright?

However.

This guy kept insisting there was a misunderstanding, and Luo Xixi was still quite curious about what this misunderstanding he spoke of actually was. Anyway, with the situation as it was, he probably wouldn't give up if she didn't let him speak, so she might as well just listen to what he had to say.

Luo Xixi scratched her head and said, "Then, shall we go somewhere else to talk?"
