After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"Plans?" Gu Qingze also changed his mind quickly. When he heard Chu Lingxiao asking him, he immediately turned back to the previous topic. However, when he looked at him, his eyes were full of confusion.

Chu Lingxiao looked at his puzzled look after hearing that, and suddenly became even more angry.

"It's just about how to place them. Since Qingze rescued them, he should at least be responsible to the end. He can't always trouble Brother Jinnian, right? That would be too bad."

"With Qingze's personality, I'm afraid he wouldn't do such an irresponsible thing."

Gu Qingze suddenly realized, "So this is what Ling Xiao meant by 'plan'."

"What else does Qingze think it is?"

"...Nothing." Gu Qingze shook his head and continued to answer the questions raised by Ling Xiao.

"Didn't I tell Ling Xiao before? When we go back, we'll settle Ye Li in the Gu family. When her cognition is almost restored, we'll ask the housekeeper to arrange some easy work for her. She won't have any problem living on her own for the rest of her life."

Chu Lingxiao thought about it and realized that Qingze had indeed said that, so he nodded and continued asking.

"What about Tilbury? She still longs to live with you."

Gu Qingze was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Lingxiao suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "And she likes you."

When Gu Qingze heard this, his pupils shrank instantly and he looked at Chu Lingxiao, who was already a little further away, in disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?"

"How can this be impossible? Qingze doesn't believe in my ability. I personally felt it. When she mentioned you, the love she showed was so strong that it almost overflowed."

"So... now you know why I was so upset when I heard you wanted to meet her?"

What responded to Chu Lingxiao was Gu Qingze's even longer silence.

Gu Qingze naturally believed Ling Xiao's words, and he had also vaguely sensed something was wrong when he was interacting with Qinluo in Hualou before, but now that it has been confirmed, it is still too hard to accept.

"Is Qingze scared silly?" Chu Lingxiao waved his hands in front of him. Seeing that Qingze did not respond, he felt even more depressed.

"Qingze told me before that he made a new friend in the brothel, and I felt something was wrong. Now I see that it is really..."

"I've been away from you for a while, and you've already got another suitor. Qingze is really charming. I guess I need to keep a tighter tie on you and keep a close eye on you."

"Ling Xiao, I'm upset, please stop teasing me." Gu Qingze just came back to his senses and his tone became sullen.

"That's right." Chu Lingxiao looked at him, then nodded to himself.

"Qingze is the most upset person right now. After all, you still have to think about how to face Jinluo... or just find an excuse not to face her?"

"But I know Qingze is not that kind of person. As a responsible man, you will definitely see things through to the end."

"Will it have a beginning and an end?" Gu Qingze murmured softly, then smiled bitterly.

"Ling Xiao thinks too highly of me, doesn't he? According to Ling Xiao's standards, as a responsible man, should I explain the whole story of how I entered the brothel and reject her love?"

"Well... it's not impossible." Chu Lingxiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "As long as you can figure out how to deal with it."

"But then again, the one that Qinluo likes is the one you forged, that is, the sister Linglan she called. From her tone, I didn't see any trace of lying, which means that she thought you were a woman from the beginning to the end."

"And even if she thinks you're a woman, she doesn't regard this feeling as friendship, but that kind of feeling. Does that mean she likes women?"

"Not necessarily...it's possible that she was just too lonely in the brothel, and because I treated her better, she mistook this dependence for love."

Gu Qingze heard this and retorted weakly, even though his guesses and analyses of feelings were not always very accurate.

"But no matter what that feeling is, at least in Tiaoluo's eyes, it is love."

Chu Lingxiao heard his response, gave a reassuring smile, and asked curiously.

"But.....Has Qingze figured out how to face Tilbury?"

"Is it the face of Lily of the Valley, or your real face? Or is it the face of Lily of the Valley first, and then restore your original face to give her a big critical hit, so that she will completely give up?"

Seeing Chu Lingxiao's "watching the fun without minding the trouble" look, Gu Qingze smiled helplessly.

"Sometimes, not telling her the truth and creating a beautiful but regretful story for her is also a kind of tenderness."

Chu Lingxiao understood the meaning of his words and knew that he was not going to tell Jinluo the truth. He faced her as Linglan and made up a relatively good ending.

He was stunned for a moment and jokingly said, "Is this another one of Qingze's made-up maxims?"

"What do you mean by my made-up principles?"

Gu Qingze glanced at him with dissatisfaction, then spoke seriously.

"Even if we tell the truth, we can't tell the whole story given the current situation. It's better not to tell it. Besides, for things like this, the less we know, the safer it is, isn't it?"

Chu Lingxiao looked at him and said, "Okay, Qingze has barely convinced me, but since it was you who caused this affair, you will be fully responsible for this matter and give her an explanation."

As he spoke, he patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder and added meaningfully.

"I believe Qingze can handle it properly."

Gu Qingze understood that Ling Xiao was reminding him to be careful and keep a safe distance since he knew that Jinluo had feelings for him.

Feeling the possessiveness in Chu Lingxiao's words, although Gu Qingze felt extremely helpless, there was still a hint of indescribable sweetness, because this was a manifestation of Lingxiao's love for him.

"Don't worry, I will."

After Gu Qingze made the promise, he swiftly took out the warm white jade bottle containing the Beauty Pill from his storage bag and swallowed one pill without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into his original appearance as Lily of the Valley in the flower building.

"How is it? No flaws, right?" He turned around to make sure Ling Xiao had looked at it carefully from front to back.

Chu Lingxiao: "........."

It’s not a question of whether there are flaws or not, but that there are flaws all over the body!

Even though your face has changed, Qingze, didn’t you forget that your clothes and other things didn’t change?

And I didn't use the Dream Pearl to modify my height! Lily of the Valley isn't that tall!

Chu Lingxiao held his forehead with his hand, forced himself to hold back the series of complaints in his heart, and sighed helplessly.

"Qingze, don't be anxious. There is no time limit. You don't have to be so..."

Gu Qingze heard it and thought it made sense. He slowly lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I was anxious. I just wanted to get things resolved as soon as possible."

"Jiuluo is a very good girl. I don't want to delay her because of me. She deserves a better life, so I am a little anxious for this."

When Chu Lingxiao heard his words, his eyes moved slightly, as if the softest part of his heart was touched.

He reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone gentle but firm.

"I understand Qingze's intentions. It's okay. I will help you fix these flaws one by one."

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze's face instantly showed a hint of smile. He nodded heavily and responded.

He knew that his Ling Xiao was the most considerate and best person in the world.

After the adjustments were completed, Chu Lingxiao looked it over carefully again, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Go ahead. Chrysanthemum is in the second room on the third floor."

He patted his back gently to encourage him, "Remember to choose your words carefully and don't make Tianluo too sad."

"Got it." Gu Qingze met his gaze, chuckled and waved his hand, then walked away from his sight with firm steps.
