The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Engagement

Engagement ceremony?

Gu Jin subconsciously paused.

The maids didn’t see Gu Jin and continued the conversation,

"So is he going to be engaged finally? When is his engagement going to take place?"

"As far as I know it will in 2 days."

"Great! With a lady boss around, the master will definitely tone down his anger!"

"I can’t believe that he is finally going to be engaged. You know...even though the master never said that he loved his fiance, he never once invited any girl to his mansion except for Miss Gu."

"Miss Gu is different. She is, after all, Young Miss’s doctor, so it explainable that Miss Gu stays in the mansion."

"From Miss Gu, I remember...I sometimes feel as if Miss Gu likes Young Master."

"What nonsense!"

"I swear! I have seen it many times. Whenever Miss Gu looks at the Young Master, her cold eyes are filled with gentleness. "

"Now that you mention it, I feel...that you are saying the right thing!"

Gu Jin pursed her lips.

So even the maids can see it?

From when she had turned so incapable? When did she become incapable of hiding her emotions?

"Hey, I pity her. I have noticed that even though Miss Gu may seem like a cold person, she has a warm heart.

Alas, she fell in love with someone who can never become her."

"I agree. I hope that she will move on and forget about Young Master."

"By the way is Young Master’s engagement ceremony going to be broadcasted?"

"Why would they?"

"I don’t know but I heard the head butler talk about how the Long Family wanted to broadcast it to the entire world considering how influential the Young master’s fiance’s family is."

"If it is true then I truly want to have a look at Young Master Long’s fiance. I have heard that she is not only an elegant, beautiful, and talented Mage but also a Black Rank Alchemist.

Not to mention she loves the young master a lot. I have seen some of her clips and to be honest, I was charmed.

Oh, right! Do you know that there are some cute edits of Young Master and his fiance? I absolutely loved it...."

Just then the head butler arrived and when he saw Gu Jin standing at the entrance of the living room but not moving, he was surprised.

However, when he heard the conversation between the maids, his face turned black.

He instantly bypassed Gu Jin and shouted at them,

"Why are you gossiping during the work hour? Does young master pay you to gossip?"

The maids instantly apologized and promised to not gossip anymore.

The head butler coughed and Gu Jin came out of her daze.

Sensing Gu Jin’s gloominess, the head butler said softly,

"Why don’t you go in the room, I will the maid to make something for you. What do you wanna eat?"

Gu Jin subconsciously blurted out,

"Something spicy."

The head butler nodded and after hesitating he finally said,

"I know sometimes it is difficult to forget certain people, but if we keep on holding them...they become thorns.

So even if it is difficult...forget it. If you need someone’s support...I am there."

Gu Jin stared at the head butler and realized that for the first time when he was looking at her, his gaze didn’t have the usual calculation and suspicion.

"Okay." That was all Gu Jin could say.

Her heart was a bit heavy and all she wanted to do now was to sit in the rain.

Gu Jin returned to her room and sat on the bed.

Her face didn’t have any expression and her body was a bit stiff.

If one didn’t look closely they wouldn’t even realize that Gu Jin was a human.

After a long while, Gu Jin chuckled with a hint of self-deprecation,

"What were you even expecting?"

A knock sounded on the door and Gu Jin opened the door, she took the tray and closed the door.

She started to eat the food. Her movements were mechanical, it was as if someone was controlling her to eat the food.

After finishing her food, Gu Jin entered her space. She started to cultivate but her focus was scattered. The conversation she overheard in the living room played on repeat in her mind.

Gu Jin took a deep breath, trying to center herself, but the turmoil inside made it difficult to achieve any sense of calm.

Finally, she took out a focus pill and ate it.

With the focus pill, she gradually forgot about her feelings, and her focus improved.

After what seemed like a day, Gu Jin stopped cultivating and exited the space.

Today she wanted to talk with someone.
