Xue Mengmeng described all the issues she knew about between Gu Ziyou and Shen Lingfeng from a third-party perspective.

"So, what do you think this man feels about this woman?"

Afraid of being discovered by him, she didn’t mention the most crucial points.

For example, Gu Ziyou’s concern that Shen Lingfeng was only with her because of her brother.

And the issue focusing on the man’s unwillingness to have any intimate physical contact with the woman.

Li Chaoxi listened quietly for a long time.

"Li Chaoxi?" Xue Mengmeng waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Could it be that her retelling was so boring that he couldn’t listen anymore?

"It’s nothing." Li Chaoxi finally spoke, glancing at them, "I was just... thinking about how to answer you."

"Say it when you’ve thought it through!" Xue Mengmeng and Gu Ziyou both looked at him nervously.

From Xue Mengmeng’s perspective, even if Li Chaoxi might like Youyou, he was quite suitable to answer this question.

Better than the answers from those guys at her company.

Thinking that a man’s refusal of physical contact with a woman absolutely means he doesn’t love her.

"Where did you get this question from?" Li Chaoxi didn’t answer directly but looked at her sharply, "Who’s asking?"

Xue Mengmeng nearly slipped up, quickly thinking that if she said it was her, Li Chaoxi surely wouldn’t believe it.

"A colleague of mine." She pretended to be calm, "This case has been a topic of discussion for Youyou and me lately, we have different opinions. So we brought you in as a referee."

Li Chaoxi raised his eyes slightly, "Different opinions? So, what are your opinions?"

Xue Mengmeng shrugged slightly, "I think the man doesn’t love the woman, Youyou thinks he does."

Li Chaoxi paused, looking at the usually quiet Gu Ziyou, "I don’t think a man’s refusal to be physically involved with a woman is necessarily a sign of no love."

Gu Ziyou’s eyes lit up for a moment.

"But knowing the woman likes him and he still doesn’t speak up, waiting for her to speak and then get together, and in the midst of passion, the woman moves out suddenly without any attempt to win her back, that’s uncertain," he said lightly. "Since there’s no insurmountable obstacle, why be so passive? This kind of behavior is not manly and wrongs the woman. At least from my view, if they are really in love, one wouldn’t bear to do so. So I don’t understand, how could such reluctance be love?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Xue Mengmeng was momentarily speechless, Gu Ziyou’s instantly dim eyes made her feel extremely sorry for her.

"So that’s how it is, being an actor really gives you a different insight, hahaha." Xue Mengmeng quickly interjected, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s discuss something else."

Throughout the dinner, Gu Ziyou tasted nothing.

She thought Li Chaoxi made a lot of sense.

Shen Lingfeng had no compelling reasons, so why like this?

After dinner, Gu Ziyou glanced at her phone, Shen Lingfeng hadn’t sent any messages.

Usually, when she came to Mengmeng’s for dinner, he would come to pick her up.

Gu Ziyou bit her lip, she initially wanted to send him a message, but after recalling Li Chaoxi’s words, she decided against it.

"Let me send you home."

Gu Ziyou had just left Xue Mengmeng’s house when Li Chaoxi followed closely, ready to leave as well.

"Aren’t you staying a bit longer?"

Xue Mengmeng rolled her eyes, "He thinks a man and a woman alone in a room isn’t very proper. Make sure to see Youyou to her doorstep, don’t let her get caught by bad guys."
