Chapter 1916: A Slap in the face

Seeing that Xiahou Susu was about to shake hands with Gong Jue, Gu Qiqi’s heart suddenly thumped for no reason and instinctively wanted to stop her!2

The Xiahou family and Gong Jue had a deep relationship, and Xiahou Susu’s late father, Chief Engineer Xiahou, was also one of Gong Jue’s more reliable subordinates.

Moreover, Xiahou Susu’s delicate hands were quite clean, and there seemed to be no problem at all. If she had smeared fairy Tian on her hands, Gu Qiqi would have noticed it.

After all, she was on guard today. She had specially activated her poison detection skill and was always on guard!

Then what was there to be worried about?

Gu Qiqi suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and tried her best not to pay too much attention to Xiahou Susu.

The court was about to start and no outsiders appeared to Poison Gong Jue. He should be able to get through today, right?

Gu Qiqi calmed down, but Xiahou Susu was not calm at all!

Her hand reached out and stopped in midair for a few seconds.

However, Gong Jue did not respond!

He did not even look her in the eye and had no intention of shaking her hand.

This was awkward.

If it was someone else who treated her like this, Xia Hou Susu would have lost her temper a long time ago.

However, this person was Gong Jue.

No one dared to lose their temper at Gong Jue.

Even someone with a bad temper like Xia Hou Susu could only remind him with a smile, “Lord Jue... you...”

Before he could finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a man rushed out from the direction of the washroom and pushed Xiahou Susu away. He panted heavily and said, “Lord Jue, I’m not late, am I? I, I, I wish you a great victory and kill those bastards!”

“Not late. Special Assistant Lu, why are you getting more and more unstable as you get older!”Gong Jue replied in a low voice, but his expression was much better. He was no longer as cold as he was when he treated Xiahou Susu. He even took the initiative to extend his hand.

Special Assistant Lu, who had rushed over, rubbed his hands and shook Gong Jue’s hand forcefully. “Lord Jue, I went to wash my hands...”

As he spoke, he even glared at Xiahou Susu. “Miss Susu, have you forgotten that Lord Jue never shakes hands with women!”

Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat. That’s right, she had almost forgotten just now that Gong Jue never touched other women. Naturally, it was impossible for him to shake hands with Xiahou Susu. She had really worried for nothing!

It’s just that..

Special Assistant Lu, Can’t you see clearly before you speak.

Gong Jue’s other hand was clearly still holding my hand, yet you told Xiahou Susu that he never shook hands with women?

Cough, cough, cough. Isn’t this a bit of a slap in the face.

“Alright, it’s almost time. The court is about to start,”she reminded softly.

“Yes, yes, Lord Jue, Miss Qiqi, we’re all waiting in the gallery. We’re cheering for you!”Everyone said in a flurry of words.

Gong jue nodded slightly and walked forward.

He did not pay any attention to Xiahou Susu the entire time.

Xiahou Susu had a stiff smile on her face, but her heart had already been stabbed countless times. Especially when she saw Gong Jue holding Gu Qiqi’s hand tightly, the anger in her eyes grew even more intense.

“Gong Jue, don’t blame me for being ruthless! If you had restrained yourself a little in front of me, I would have been a little more lenient. “But you just had to show off your love in front of me. Then it’s not my fault that I let you make a fool of yourselves later!”She roared in her heart.

She watched the two of them leave.

Just as Gong Jue and Gu Qiqi walked to the witness stand...

Suddenly!

Gong Jue’s footsteps became slightly chaotic.

Gu Qiqi immediately keenly sensed it. “What’s Wrong?”

Gong Jue didn’t say a word. His lips were tightly pursed.

Slender and handsome palm, slightly curled into the sleeve..
