The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: A Chat With Head Butler

Gu Jin glanced at him and then continued to stare at the moon again.

The head butler accompanied her for a while before asking,

"What do you like about him?"

Gu Jin now understood the head butler’s intention. Before removing the batch, if the head butler said the word ’him’, it could only mean that he was referring to Long Yifan.

He didn’t want to hurt her pride by making her accept that she liked him. Hence he took off the batch, which meant that now the ’him’ wasn’t limited to Long Yifan.

Even though both of them knew whom the head butler was referring to, no one can claim that Gu Jin liked Long Yifan, since the ’him’ in the head butler’s question could be anyone.

’Why do you wanna know?’ That was what Gu Jin would have replied with if she was in a normal state of mind.

However currently Gu Jin felt a strange kind of numbness and she replied in a lost voice,

"I too don’t know."

From the moment she met him, she felt a strange kind of attraction to him.

It was ridiculous for Gu Jin to experience such feelings considering she never let a person come too close to her even if she had met him more than 10 times.

"Maybe you should move..."

"I tried but I can’t." Gu Jin interrupted the head butler.

"Did you never have any dark thoughts?" The head butler asked.

He was most concerned about that question.

Gu Jin chuckled.

Dark thoughts?

"Can kidnapping him, taking him away somewhere far count?"

In fact, whenever Gu Jin thought of how she would one day return to her original world, she subconsciously thought about Long Yifan.

Thoughts like...poisoning him and when he is in a weak state, taking him away with her to her world.

After all his fiance belongs to the magic world, once on earth, their relationship could be considered broken...right? So why not take him away?

In some dark corner of her heart, Gu Jin even had an impulsive thought. What if...what if she tries to find some bad things about his fiance, expose her, and take her place?

All these thoughts were just 1% of her actual dark thoughts.

However, she knew that it would only push Long Yifan far away from her. She couldn’t imagine, seeing disgust on his face, after all...

The head butler was worried that Gu Jin would do something wrong and advised her,

"It is a dark thought and you shouldn’t have these thoughts."

Gu Jin chuckled but didn’t reply to him.

The head butler nagged her,

"Do you want to push him away more? Do you want him to hate you? Do you want to see disgust in his eyes for yourself?"

With each question, Gu Jins’ smile slowly dropped.

Finally, she asked in a low voice,

"So what should I do? Wait for him to get married to his fiance? Does he really love her?"

The head butler knew that it was wrong to lie but to make sure that Gu Jin didn’t take any wrong steps he lied,

"Yes, he loves her a lot. He had dreamt of marrying her since childhood. You might not know but he had a very difficult life till now.

And I don’t want him to suffer anymore."

Except for the first and second lines, the head butler didn’t lie.

Long Yifan had a very difficult life. From getting bullied to facing injustice that could boil anyone’s blood.

And from the looks of it, in the future, his future life won’t be peaceful either.

If he had the power he would have tied Long Yifan with Gu Jin. She was the perfect girl for him.

Gu Jin felt as if someone had stabbed her heart when she heard the head butler’s words.

Suddenly she remembered her grandfather’s words,

"Jin you have suffered so much that I wish that someday your wishes come true."

Just like her grandfather, the head butler wanted Long Yifan’s happiness.

And just like her, Long Yifan had suffered too.

Instead of making his life more dark because of her selfish reason, she should help him.

"So what should I do?"

The head butler was silent for a long while, before saying,

"If you can’t give up, learn to love him from afar."

"I can’t..." Gu Jin was about to decline when the head butler interrupted her,

"Then you can live all alone." The head butler said with a serious expression.

He believed that once Gu Jin stayed far away from Long Yifan and looked at his fake happiness, she would gradually give up on him.

Gu Jin was silent before asking.

"So you mean to say that I need to distance myself from him?"

The head butler nodded,

"To be honest, you won’t need to. After all, he wouldn’t return to the mansion for the next 2 years."

Gu Jin’s heart sank and she asked,
