Chapter 127 Who Is Spreading Rumors About You?

Chapter 127 Who Is Spreading Rumors About You?

Gao Wenyan asked, "Who is spreading rumors about you?"

At the thought of the rumor about white hair being inauspicious, Gao Wenyan felt a surge of anger.

Yet, the person involved didn’t even lift his head, as if it wasn’t about him and as if it wasn’t a big deal at all.

"As long as you don't feel that way."

Though the words sounded nice, Gao Wenyan was not convinced.

"Neither do I like others saying such things about you."

After saying this, she added angrily, "If I find out who did it, I’ll definitely settle the score with them."

"Oh?"

Chu Xu couldn’t help but laugh, finally looking up from the documents.

"Really?"

A hint of a smile played on his lips, as if he were genuinely asking about the truthfulness of her words.

Gao Wenyan sensed a hint of conspiracy.

She stared at Chu Xu for a moment, hesitantly saying, "You..."

"Could it be that you already know who it is?"

Chu Xu decided to keep her guessing. "I only asked if you were serious, but you’re trying to cheat."

With this response, Gao Wenyan had a hunch.

So she couldn’t help but speculate: Could it be that Chu Xu himself spread the rumor this time?

Chu Xu couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this.

"Do you really see me that way?"

Gao Wenyan retorted, "Is it wrong?"

Indeed, Chu Xu loved doing such things.

Thus, he couldn’t refute it at all.

But this time, he wasn’t the one who started the rumor. However, if talking about innocence, Chu Xu wasn’t innocent either.

Chu Xu thought about it and considered himself at most an instigator.

"So, who did it?"

However, when the answer was revealed, Gao Wenyan’s surprise replaced any curiosity she had.

The culprit still had a slight smile on their face, acting as if it had nothing to do with them.

How could they still smile!

Gao Wenyan asked, "How could it be Princess Wen An?"

She still couldn’t believe that Princess Wen An, who liked Chu Xu so much that she was willing to use witchcraft, losing her dignity as a princess, would spread rumors about Chu Xu.

But Chu Xu said it was Princess Wen An?

Seeing Gao Wenyan’s puzzled expression, Chu Xu found it amusing.

He asked, "Why can’t it be Princess Wen An?"

"Princess Wen An..."

Chu Xu continued her sentence: "She likes me?"

"Yes."

With a light laugh, Chu Xu said, "You wouldn’t understand."

To love someone humbly, obsessively, yet have no way to change the situation, watching another person get close to them—it indeed drives one mad.

So Chu Xu didn’t want to explain everything to Gao Wenyan, only saying that Princess Wen An was incited by others.

Gao Wenyan carefully thought about the witchcraft incident and realized that whenever it came to Chu Xu, Princess Wen An was easily swayed by others.

She was too proud and had never experienced disappointment in love, so naturally, she wouldn’t understand Princess Wen An’s pain.

"What good does it do her to belittle you?"

If it were Gao Wenyan, she would never do such a thing.

If the person she liked didn’t reciprocate her feelings, she would let go gracefully, giving both of them a chance to find happiness anew.

Chu Xu shook his head, "That’s why you don’t understand."

In Princess Wen An’s eyes, as long as she got Chu Xu, it was enough.

She had liked Chu Xu for so long without success, and then someone else came along, capturing all of Chu Xu’s attention. How could she accept that?

So, even if it meant spreading rumors to harm Chu Xu, she would do it.

If successful, Chu Xu will be regarded as a harbinger of misfortune, and everyone will shun him.

Then, she can appear with an indifferent attitude and accept Chu Xu, fulfilling her long-cherished wish.
