"What did Zimo promise you?" Gu Yuxuan asked calmly.
But Wang Renshu didn't answer him. He smiled with each bite he took from the food in front of him.
Gu Yuxuan's world suddenly felt smaller, louder and vividly clearer – all of it narrowing down to Zimo.
"Did he promise you to leave me?"
Wang Renshu started chuckling softly again. "I thought you knew him better. What do you think?"
Looking back at Wang Renshu, Gu Yuxuan smiled as well. He started to eat and ate until he finished everything on his plate. Silently with complete focus.
When he was done, he finally looked up. "Whatever deal you made, it's not happening."
"You can't stop Su Zimo if he wants to go after what's better for him. What will you do to make him stay? Lock him up?"
Gu Yuxuan tilted his head, realising he's just wasting his breath on the person in front of him.
"You're wrong", he answered. "I won't stop him. He can do whatever he wants."
