The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities

Chapter 71: 071 Are you keeping yourself clean?

Hearing this, Su Xinyan felt a touch of emotion at the bottom of her heart, her beautiful eyes brimmed with moisture, gazing affectionately at Gu Heng.

Gu Heng’s heart stuttered; his Adam’s apple bobbed twice, and the hand that enclasped her shoulder tightened slightly, his gaze gradually darkening.

“I understand, of course I do, it’s just… I’m somewhat worried about Sister Ran.”

“Worried?”

Gu Heng paused slightly while arranging her hair, looking at her with some confusion.

With the way Su Ran behaved today, she hardly seemed like someone who could be bullied.

“Brother Heng, don’t you find it strange? How could Sister Ran have a Black Card from First-Class Fragrance?”

Gu Heng’s face darkened slightly, and he became instantly stern.

Su Xinyan seemed not to notice and continued on her own accord:

“The membership cards of First-Class Fragrance… Even the Gu Family today would have to retreat despite its difficulties, so where did Sister Ran’s Black Card come from?”

Gu Heng paused for a moment.

Indeed, even he was not qualified to ascend to the Phoenix Pavilion of First-Class Fragrance.

The Silver Card he had given Su Xinyan had also taken quite an effort to secure.

Xiao Ran… she…

“What are you trying to say?”

Gu Heng’s deep voice sounded slightly heavy, as Xinyan slightly curved her lips, but her beautiful face was painted with worry.

“Brother Heng, Sister Ran just broke off the engagement with you not long ago. Do you think she could… could she, out of anger at us, have recklessly found some rich man to get back at us…”

Gu Heng’s face suddenly darkened, and his handsome features appeared somewhat gloomy.

“That’s impossible, Xiao Ran isn’t that kind of person, she has always been virtuous and self-respecting.”

They had known each other for many years, aside from Ye Zhichen, Xiao Ran typically kept to herself and never got close to any men.

In fact, Gu Heng left unsaid that even after he and Su Ran began their relationship nominally as fiancés, their connection was less intimate than that of ordinary friends.

There are always some romantic gestures between lovers, like holding hands, hugging, kissing, but none of these had ever happened between them.

Each time she saw him, there was no excitement, no eagerness, only a face of frostiness, her eyes void of any ripple, and sometimes even a dash of awkwardness.

Xiao Ran, inherently cold and strong, with a chilly heart and indifference even towards a boyfriend, let alone others.

Moreover, she had always been within everyone’s line of sight these years, leaving her no time to meet other men.

They had just broken up; in such a short time, she couldn’t possibly have the spare emotion to find someone else, and she would not do such a thing just to take revenge on him.

“Virtuous and self-respecting, huh?”

Su Xinyan murmured to herself, her head low, with a flash of malice and resentment in her eyes.

I will tarnish your purity, and see how you will stay virtuous and self-respecting.

Su Ran, you just wait.

I will engrave this humiliation in my heart forever.

“I hope so but hope that Sister Ran really won’t do anything foolish. Otherwise, I would truly be sorry to her… That membership card… perhaps there is some misunderstanding…”

She said softly, her voice helpless with a clear sense of worry, subtly bringing up the membership card again.

Gu Heng did not speak, but his thoughts began to drift away, a few shades of depth coloring the bottom of his profound gaze.

“Alright, stop thinking so much, I’ll take you home first.”
