Chapter 440: A Woman’s Heart Is Hard To Predict

Translator: Yunyi  Editor: Yunyi

Jiang Qi was overcome with fear and discomfort. She subconsciously freed herself from Gu Shuling’s grasp, turned around, and ran away.

Gu Shuling did not say anything unreasonable, but her every word was a threat.

That’s why one should never do anything bad. Not even once.

It had been so many years since that incident. If she admitted her mistakes to her brother now, would he forgive her?

What if he didn’t? Would he never talk to her again?

Jiang Qi ran away in a panic. Her steps were quick as she tried to escape Gu Shuling’s unseen threat. As her steps sped up, she found herself jogging. The stairs in front of her were a little high. Just as she reached it, she tripped and stumbled forward a little. As her face turned pale, she let out a scream, “Ahhh!!”

At that moment, a strong pair of arms suddenly stretched out and wrapped around her. This person twirled her around and helped her regain her balance. They then let go and stepped back a few steps, “Watch your step.”

The dazed Jiang Qi looked at the refined man in front of her and took two deep breaths. She then cried out gently, “Master Handsome…”

Her voice was a little choked up like she wanted to cry.

After helping her, He Shigui wanted to leave, but when he heard her voice, he looked into her red eyes and subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?”

The sudden concern made Jiang Qi feel a rush of sadness. She did not dare to speak about it or reveal it to those she knew. But, as she looked at the man that she had just met that day and listened to his charming voice, it moved a particular part in her heart.

Her nose tingled. She suddenly stretched out her hands, wrapped them tightly around He Shigui, and broke down in tears, “Master Handsome!”

The woman’s sudden hug made He Shigui quiver.

He was stunned: “…”

At that moment, Yu Gangan and Fang Zhihan approached from one of the corridors and coincidentally saw this scene.

Their eyes widened.

Yu Gangan looked at He Shigui in surprise, “Master Handsome, Xiao Qi, you guys are…”

As soon as he heard Yu Gangan’s voice, He Shigui immediately claimed his innocence, “I’m not sure what’s happening either.”

He pushed Jiang Qi away and stepped back a few steps, keeping a fair distance.

Jiang Qi wiped away her tears, sniffed her nose, and lowered her head, “I’m fine. I just wanted to cry all of a sudden.”

After saying these words, she ran away.

Yu Gangan looked at Fang Zhihan, “Why is she crying? Do you want to take a guess?”

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. I can’t even predict what you’re thinking, let alone others.”

Yu Gangan then looked at He Shigui, “In that case, Master Handsome, do you want to take a guess?”

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. I can’t even predict what you’re thinking, let alone others.”

Yu Gangan glanced at Fang Zhihan, then at He Shigui. The two men’s eyes met deeply for a moment before one turned left and the other turned right and they each returned to their own respective room.

[Need they be so in sync?]

Yu Gangan looked left and right, but she did not follow either man. Instead, she went to look for Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was sobbing loudly in her room. Yu Gangan listened from the outside for a little while before she knocked on the door. As Jiang Qi opened the door, her eyes were red, “Sister-in-law.”

Yu Gangan smiled at her, “Don’t cry. If my teacher bullied you, let me know and I will scold him for you.”

Jiang Qi immediately shook her head, “No, no, Master Handsome didn’t bully me.”

“In that case, did Gu Shuling yell at you when you were taking her to her room?” Yu Gangan asked.
