Qi Xiang pretended to mull it over, then raised an eyebrow and said with absolute certainty, "Nope!"
"Because from the very beginning, we were just using each other," Qi Xiang stated bluntly.
Zhou Jing hadn't expected Qi Xiang to be so direct, and her brow furrowed slightly.
Qi Xiang's unwillingness to play along any longer was a clear sign... 'Gu Xi must have suspected me for a long time. And now, as far as she's concerned, I'm completely out of the picture.'
Zhou Jing was relieved. 'It looks like I made the right choice coming here,' she thought.
'At least I'll have something to report back to Jinyu. He probably won't keep forcing me to come and curry favor with Qi Xiang anymore...'
'As for City A...' Zhou Jing's gaze drifted past Qi Xiang, trying to see into the room, but she couldn't make anything out.
'It looked like Gu Xi wasn't here.'
'Could it be...'
An idea suddenly struck Zhou Jing.
