Chapter 1772: Chapter 1772: The One Who Should Let Her Go Is You (5)

Gu Anjin had just hung up the phone when she heard a knock at the door and immediately stood up.

Upon seeing the figure at the door, she pressed her lips tightly, looking at him without speaking.

"Still awake?" Yue Siqing’s dark blue eyes were as deep as the sea.

Gu Anjin tightly gripped the phone in her hand, staring at him steadily. How could he remain so unaffected?

Clearly, he overheard her call, and knew she was looking for Huo Xun.

That was his own younger brother!

Gu Anjin recalled Huo Xun’s words—his face was completely destroyed.

An eight-year-old child helplessly waiting for death in a fire, all because of Yue Siqing.

But it wasn’t just an eight-year-old child; it was his own younger brother.

Perhaps this was just Huo Xun’s side of the story, but the voice in her heart told her that Huo Xun wasn’t lying to her.

Upon learning that Huo Xun was Yue Siqing’s younger brother, she couldn’t remain calm.

"I’m going to sleep soon." Gu Anjin opened her mouth for a moment but didn’t say anything.

Yue Siqing nodded. As he was about to leave, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and ran forward, "Wait."

The hand clutching his arm was quickly pulled down by Yue Siqing.

Gu Anjin didn’t expect this feeling; it was as if they had returned to the past.

But didn’t he say he would change?

"Brother Siqing, where is Huo Xun?" She lowered her hand and asked directly.

"I don’t know." Yue Siqing looked at her, struggling in his eyes, "I said I don’t know where he is. It’s him who wants to cause such misunderstanding, making you think it was me. Do you believe me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just speaking hypothetically." Yue Siqing’s voice returned to its coldness, "Don’t look for him anymore; you don’t need to see him again. I’ll handle things between myself and him."

At least he couldn’t let Jinjin become a pawn for Huo Xun’s revenge.

"And then what, can’t I go anywhere?"

"You can go anywhere, but from now on, Huo Xun has nothing to do with you. He’s using you, and I’ll make him stop."

No matter what reason Huo Xun has for developing such intense hatred towards him, he must find out.

Until then, he couldn’t let Huo Xun meet Jinjin.

As for the reason Huo Xun revealed, why he and Jinjin could never be—it wouldn’t be something she’d hear from someone else.

It’s ridiculous. If possible, he’d hate too.

Why did things between him and Jinjin turn out like this? It wasn’t their fault.

But their relationship was his fault.

Perhaps because of this, she could hate him for a lifetime.

Gu Anjin couldn’t find Huo Xun anymore; the Murphy Family said Master Eric was unwell and went abroad for recuperation.

She couldn’t find out anything, not even through Arthur.

This time, Yue Siqing’s decisive nature showed without any reservation.

He said Huo Xun has nothing to do with her anymore, and he truly vanished from her world.

In the past half year, Gu Anjin didn’t stay in London.

She gave up trying to find Huo Xun, left London, and traveled the world.

She couldn’t understand why just when she was about to see the light, she ended up on a road even more hopeless than before.

Until her nephew’s full moon banquet.

On a private plane, Gu Anjin wrapped herself in Yue Siqing’s coat, shrinking against the strong air conditioning inside the plane.

She sat across from Yue Siqing, watching the man who hadn’t forgotten his work.

Half a year had passed, and they had barely seen each other. He didn’t seem to have changed much.

After a moment, Yue Siqing’s gaze finally left the computer screen.
