The entire room went silent.
Mrs. Gu blinked, then turned her head slowly toward Gu Jichun.
Gu Jin stared at her sister with a blank expression.
Then both mother and daughter burst into laughter.
Gu Jin shook her head firmly. "No, that is not the case."
Gu Jichun patted her chest with relief. "Thank goodness. Otherwise, Long Yifan might have been killed tonight!"
Long Yifan, standing behind Gu Jin, coughed awkwardly.
"Why do I feel like I am always the one facing death in your imagination?"
Gu Jichun chuckled and said,
"Only if you die, Long Yifan, can I finally spend more time with my sister. You're always taking her away."
Long Yifan rolled his eyes dramatically.
"If I ever die, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you. I'll stick to Gu Jin forever so that you'll never get a single moment alone with her."
Gu Jichun's eyes widened in shock. She pointed at him with a trembling hand. "You! You're the worst kind of person I've ever met!"
