Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

"Sit down." Chuqi invited her to sit down and wait together.

"How do you know someone will definitely come looking for me? If no one comes, does that mean I'll never get out?" Huo Sanghua stood in front of "Chu Qi" without any intention of sitting down, but just looked at "Chu Qi" warily, wondering what trick "Chu Qi" was going to play.

"Don't you want to know who will find you first?" Chu Qi asked naturally, as if he could read her mind.

Hearing this, Hawthorne did indeed hesitate.

But soon, she gave a habitual wry smile, "What if no one comes?"

"Let's make a bet," Chuqi suggested. "Let's see who will be the first person to come."

"What about the stakes?" Hawthorne asked. Could it be a bet without stakes...?

"Chuqi" thought for a moment and said, "Here's a solution. You think of someone who will find this place first, and you don't need to tell me. If the person who finds this place first is the one you think of, you win, and I can grant you three requests. If not, you lose, and you have to give me one thing, and I can still grant you one request."

In any case, he would agree to at least one thing for Hawthorne.

But more than what he promised, Hawthorne was worried about... "What do you want from me?"

She thought and thought, but couldn't figure out what she had that was valuable enough to be used as a stake in this gamble.

"Chuqi" laughed, "How can you already think you'll lose before we've even started? What if you win three things against me?"

Huo Sanghua was unsure, but she felt that "Chu Qi" was probably not a bad person and wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her or ask her to give something she couldn't possibly offer as a wager.

Seeing that she looked relaxed, "Chuqi" knew that she had agreed to the bet, so he raised his hand to signal her that she could think in her mind who was the first person to find this place.

Hawthorne hesitated...

Who will find this place first?

Right now, the only person who knows she's missing... is Wutong.

However, Wutong probably rarely goes out, and she just got shaken off, so it's unlikely that she'll be able to find her clues on the busy streets and come here first.

Then... ...

It's Xie Lin.

If Xie Lin returned to the restaurant and didn't see her, he would probably suspect that something had happened to her...

Then they followed the clues all the way here.

As for Lord Xie...

If Lord Xie returns to the restaurant and doesn't see her and Xie Lin, he might suspect they've gone somewhere. If Lord Xie chooses to wait, he won't come looking for them. Therefore, the possibility of Lord Xie finding his way here is relatively small.

And then...

Although I don't want to think this way, it's possible that the guard, even if he didn't find her at the time, might have continued searching and eventually found his way here if he refused to give up.

Then she's in danger...

As for the others...

Hawthorne felt increasingly insecure; she didn't believe anyone would come here specifically to find her.

To anyone, she probably isn't someone so important that... you absolutely have to find her.

Xie Shu... The image of the eldest son of the Xie family suddenly flashed into Huo Sanghua's mind, overlapping with the image of Xie Shu's tragic death in her previous life. Huo Sanghua tried hard to forget the image of Xie Shu lying in a pool of blood, but couldn't help but recall seeing Xie Shu and Li Lang plotting something just now...

It probably isn't Xie Shu.

Xie Shu didn't notice her, let alone know that she had come here.

Therefore, they wouldn't know that she was missing and wouldn't come looking for her.

Whom should we place our bet on?

"What, haven't you made a decision yet?" Chu Qi asked her. "Don't you have someone in your heart who you can trust and rely on?"

Hawthorne smiled helplessly and sat down naturally. "My life isn't particularly precious to anyone. Even if I suddenly disappeared, there's no one who would necessarily come looking for me..."

Therefore, it is difficult to place a bet for a while.

"Why not look forward to it?" Chu Qi's eyes held a hint of tenderness.

Looking forward to it? Or rather, just making a random bet...

Since that's the case... let's gamble on him.

Huo Sanghua decided to place her bet on Xie Lin. In any case, winning or losing wouldn't mean much to her; it was just a pastime to pass the time. It didn't matter who found her in the end, and she believed that "Chu Qi" wouldn't take her life.

Seeing that Hawthorne's expression relaxed, "Chuqi" knew that she must have already chosen her target.

He didn't ask Hawthorne who she had chosen, but silently poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "Now... let's ask each other questions. You can ask me first, whatever you want to know."

"what is this?"

Hawthorne was still hesitant when he heard that they should ask each other questions, which surprised him even more.

This person is getting stranger and stranger.

“I promise I won’t lie to you,” said “Chuqi.” “You can ask me anything you want to know, but you don’t have to answer the questions I ask.”

"You can ask me anything?"

Huo Sanghua couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to confirm with him.

"Chuqi" nodded.

She could ask first, and she wanted to ask something meaningful. After thinking about it for a while, what she was most curious about now was "Chu Qi's" identity... "Are you really... an ordinary person?"

"Yes." "Chuqi" confirmed, his expression revealing no attempt to conceal anything.

Hawthorne suddenly regretted her question. What kind of question was that? She had only wanted to know if the "seventh day" was actually...

“It’s my turn,” said Chuqi. “Is the person you were thinking of just now the one you love?”

One question left Hawthorne speechless.

Xie Lin... ...the person he loves... ...

Her hesitation seemed to give "Chuqi" an answer. "Chuqi" chuckled and told her, "You can continue asking now."

"You are... a deity?" Hawthorne went straight to the point, no more beating around the bush. He just wanted to know who this extraordinary person was, or perhaps...

Not human?!

But as soon as she said that, "Chuqi" burst into laughter.

Hawthorne knew he had asked a seemingly stupid question, and his face burned with embarrassment.

"Why do you think I'm a deity?" Chu Qi denied Huo Sanghua's guess. "What, have you seen a deity? Do deities look like me?"

"I don't know..." Hawthorne sighed, a sense of inexplicable disappointment creeping in after confirming the person before him wasn't a "deity." "Perhaps... many bizarre things have happened to me. I think anyone who told me would doubt I was dreaming, but for me, they were truly things I experienced. Since I've experienced so many strange things, it's not so strange that deities exist in this world..."

After experiencing a rebirth, what is impossible?
