Chapter 831: Can't Even See Your Fingers So Scary

“Baili Xia was able to blurt out ‘half a year’ just now thanks to her thickness of face.”

“This is a skill of sellers in the market, no matter how much the price is, the buyer always wants to bargain.”

“Raising the initial price at least leaves room for a discount.”

“Like just now, if she had said one month, Guisu would have cut it by half at least.”

“By then, making her cough up the person within half a month would have truly been worrisome.”

“Sometimes sellers really do want to offer a fair price sincerely.”

“But no matter what price the seller sets, the buyer always thinks about bargaining, which forces the seller to inflate the price deliberately.”

“If everyone were straightforward, where would all these troubles come from?”

“Guisu still felt like he might have been tricked, but he couldn’t quite say what exactly he was tricked about.”

“But in fact, under these circumstances, he couldn’t really be harsh on Baili Xia.”

“There was no choice but to let it be for now.”

“Guisu left, and when he did, he promised that he wouldn’t lay a hand on Dongfang Jin for three months.”

“But if after three months, Baili Xia couldn’t tell him Lu Xuening’s whereabouts, he would definitely send Dongfang Jin to accompany Lu Xuening.”

“That guy, truly stubborn, a woman who had harmed him before, could still make him want to repay her for her previous kindness with everything he had.”

“Lu Xuening was really lucky, so bad yet someone treated her so well.”

“Did she really have no regrets after losing Guisu?”

“Such a good man, ah…”

“But on the other hand, what good deeds could a bad woman like Lu Xuening have possibly done to make someone like Guisu devoted to her without reservation?”

“To believe that Lu Xuening does good deeds is really hard to imagine.”

“That woman’s heart is totally black, doing good deeds?

Pfft!”

“She would never believe it, surely Guisu had accidentally misseen or misunderstood something.”

“Baili Xia exhaled lightly and turned back the way she had come after Guisu left.”

“The air was filled with a mist of water vapor, as if it was about to rain.”

“Looking up, even the moon had hidden behind the clouds, and all around was pitch black, eerily terrifying.”

“With Guisu gone, she was left alone here, and it really was…

a bit terrifying.”

“She quickened her pace, wanting to leave this dense forest and get back to the beach quickly.”

“But this time, Baili Xia quickly scared herself nearly insane.”

“She was lost!

Wandering in circles in the dense forest, she couldn’t find her way out.”

“She had followed the sound of the waves there, but why did the path seem to narrow and the surrounding grass grow taller as she walked?”

“When she tried to go back, she could no longer distinguish east from west.”

“Not just the dense bushes, but the stones started to become more numerous as well.”

“Which path actually led to the beach?”

“The rain started to drizzle slowly.”

“If it continued like this, she would be completely trapped in the dense forest!”

“Phone… no, her bag was still on the beach, she had nothing on her, what could she do?”

“The sky turned even darker, so much so that she couldn’t see her hands in front of her face, it was terrifying…”

“…”

“Ye Hua, sitting on the sofa in the outer hall, gave Nangong Xu a look and, through the door, his gaze drifted towards Mu Xiaojiu who was at the office desk on the inside.”

“Nangong Xu turned his head and also glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, noticing that he was not working.”

“His eyes were fixed on the notebook, but his eyes seemed unfocused, as if contemplating something.”

“The wine glass in his hand swayed gently with his wrist.”

“Ye Hua leaned closer to Nangong Xu and lowered his voice,”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu is in a bad mood today, he hasn’t even eaten.”
