Chapter 1221: 1220 I want to sleep

Upon hearing this, Gu Kai’s already gloomy handsome face instantly darkened as if it was about to rain, radiating a cold and harsh aura filled with indignation.

“Did I say I was getting back together with Fang Zhiwei?”

His towering frame dangerously leaned forward, and his narrow eyes squinted into slits, sharply staring at Bai Yiyi, this oblivious woman. He didn’t want Fang Zhiwei to misunderstand her and thus resent her, so he had clarified things for her benefit.

She surprisingly showed no appreciation and even congratulated him. No, it wasn’t a congratulation—it was mockery. Looking at the bright, spring-like smile in her eyes, it felt like his chest was stuffed with a pile of jumbled stones, making him uncomfortably suffocated.

Bai Yiyi chuckled lightly, ignoring Gu Kai’s gloomy face, and gracefully picked up a nearby kettle to pour him a cup of warm water.

She set down the kettle and handed it to Gu Kai with both hands, treating him like a pouting child, gently saying, “So that’s what you meant earlier, you didn’t want to be threatened by me, so you told Fang Zhiwei. I remember Fang Zhiwei saying that as long as you don’t have a new girlfriend, she’ll always like you and strive to win you over.”

“Aren’t you reluctant to tell me what you two discussed that day?”

Gu Kai scoffed disdainfully, his face still unsightly as each of his pores seemed to radiate anger.

“Drink some water.”

Seeing that he didn’t take it, Bai Yiyi placed the cup on the table in front of him, “I didn’t say I was unwilling to tell you, but I felt it was unnecessary. However, aren’t you afraid that by being honest with Fang Zhiwei, she might continue to like you?”

“She said she would try to forget me.”

Gu Kai glanced at her, his expression slightly softened, picked up the water in front of him, and drank it in one gulp, pushing the cup forward and tapping his fingers lightly on the table, “Pour another cup.”

Bai Yiyi pouted her lips and poured another cup for him, watching him finish drinking, she actively asked, “Do you want more?”

“No more.”

Gu Kai put down the cup, leaned back into the chair, letting the cold aura in his brows be replaced by a touch of laziness.

“You’ve seen Fang Zhiwei, do you know what happened last night, and who was behind those who threatened her?”

Bai Yiyi assessed Gu Kai.

Fang Zhiwei’s issue was initially none of her business.

But since Fang Zhiwei suspected her, she wanted to ask a few more questions. She and Wen Ran had discussed it, but couldn’t think of who might be behind it.

A touch of darkness flashed in Gu Kai’s eyes, his tone slightly cold, “I have already called Lu Zhiyan to check. Fang Zhiwei was threatened last night on the road not far from her home. There’s surveillance in that area; it can be checked.”

“That’s good, otherwise my suspicion could never be cleared,” Bai Yiyi smiled relievedly; she didn’t want to be wronged.

Especially not about the matters between Gu Kai and Fang Zhiwei.

“Fang Zhiwei no longer misunderstands you; you can be at ease.”

Gu Kai was dismissive of Bai Yiyi’s concerns.

Bai Yiyi pressed her lips together, softly said, “Gu Kai, you don’t understand women, or rather, you don’t understand Fang Zhiwei at all. If she truly thinks it’s me, no matter how you explain it, she’ll still believe it’s me unless there’s evidence.”

“What kind of logic is that, Fang Zhiwei personally told me it was her misunderstanding.”

Gu Kai looked at Bai Yiyi with amusement; Fang Zhiwei’s misunderstanding of her was because she thought they were truly together.

Thinking that Bai Yiyi, to stop Fang Zhiwei from pestering him, would hire someone to warn her.

Bai Yiyi’s lips curled into a sneer, “I now think you’re actually very foolish.”

“You…”

“Don’t get angry just yet, hear me out,” Bai Yiyi gestured to the irate Gu Kai, calmly saying, “The following is not just my personal view but also Wen Ran’s collective view.”

“Cut it out!”

Gu Kai dismissed her words with a snort, closed his eyes, and no longer looked at her.

Yiyi didn’t care whether he was looking at her or not, as long as he wasn’t asleep and could hear her words, “Although I pretended to be your lover to make Zhi Wei misunderstand, I have always told her that it is you who likes me and that I haven’t accepted your feelings yet. Under such circumstances, Zhi Wei clearly knows that I wouldn’t pointlessly warn her.”

Gu Kai’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but he did not open his eyes.

Yiyi continued, “Zhi Wei, knowing it couldn’t be me, still called Ranran, suspecting it was me. There are only two possibilities; first, she wants to use this method to make you go see her.”

“Why would I definitely go see her?”

Gu Kai did not open his eyes, just asked lazily.

“Because I told you that you like me,” Yiyi smiled and added, “The second possibility is that she has become obsessed, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and truly believes it was me. In that case, any explanation you offer is futile, and she would think that you are helping me by claiming it was all an act.”

Gu Kai frowned, recalling the recent conversation at the Fang Family house with Zhi Wei, who did not seem to be lying.

“Yiyi, don’t think so badly of Zhi Wei; she might have misunderstood you because she was just sad and upset.”

Yiyi smiled and said, “Okay, forget what I just said. Zhi Wei still holds a high place in your heart and has a good image. Let’s end this matter here. It doesn’t matter which woman admiring you warned her, it has nothing to do with me.”

Gu Kai, with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes dark as ink, and that look made Yiyi stun for a moment.

“Gu Kai, let’s talk about our current situation now,” Yiyi’s eyes flickered as she quickly changed the subject.

Gu Kai raised his hand to massage his forehead, yawning tiredly, “I’m really tired, let me rest my eyes for a bit. Call me when it’s time to eat, we can talk after eating.”

“No, I want to talk now.”

Yiyi’s expression changed, she suddenly stood up from her chair, and sat down right beside Gu Kai on another chair.

Seeing Gu Kai close his eyes to sleep, she didn’t think twice and reached out to pry his eyes open.

“What are you doing?”

Gu Kai caught her hand displeased, forcibly removed it from his face, his eyes opened, showing deep darkness.

Yiyi raised an eyebrow, defiantly looking at him, “We need to talk.”

“I want to sleep.”

Gu Kai stared at her for a few seconds, then closed his eyes again.

“Fine, you sleep, but I’m moving out today. Don’t think that just because you manipulated my mother to rent out the house that I have nowhere to go.”

Yiyi said this and was about to pull her hand away.

However, Gu Kai tightened his grip on her hand, making her unable to break free.

Yiyi immediately became furious and cursed, “Gu Kai, are you sick? You don’t want to talk about the house but you still try to stop me.”

“What do you want?”

Gu Kai opened his eyes, let go of her hand, and looked at her with a faint gaze.

Yiyi, who was prepared, leaned forward, grabbed her purse, pulled out a card, and waved it in front of Gu Kai, saying, “I’ve looked into the house prices in G City.”

“And then?”

Gu Kai blinked, his gaze sweeping over the card in her hand.

“Of course, to buy a house. You have obligations towards Tongtong, but my mom and I can’t live in your house for free. I don’t want to be called a homewrecker or anything like that. Gu Kai, I plan to buy your villa.”

“You think you can buy a villa with that little money?”

Disdain flashed through Gu Kai’s eyes.

Yiyi raised her eyebrows proudly, lifting her chin, “I’m not buying your entire villa; I’m not as corrupt as some.”
