The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Gu Aihan

Once those thoughts appeared in Gu Jin’s mind, she didn’t hold much resentment against Long Yifan’s fiance. However, a part of her heart was upset.

Gu Jin suppressed the upsetness and used her vines to kill the driver.

The driver was instantly frightened,

"No! No! Please don’t kill..." He couldn’t finish his words since his soul left his body the next second.

Gu Jin threw the driver’s body in her space and tried to look for any possible evidence. Maybe the plan was too detailed because there was neither any house nor any surveillance camera present in the surroundings.

If she had died, no one would know what had happened. So Gu Jin didn’t feel any guilt. She picked up the driver’s phone and checked the messages and call log.

Long Yifan’s fiance only used calls to communicate and there were almost no messages left for the driver.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Jin tossed the phone into her space.

She then hailed a cab, went to an orphanage and a hospital to donate some money, and returned to the Long Mansion.

She skipped the dinner and went to her room.

For the first time, Gu Jin was doubting herself.

Mistress? Could she truly be called a mistress?

Well, she indeed had impure thoughts about someone else’s fiance...

Gu Jin thought for a long time that evening.

Though she loved Long Yifan, she couldn’t be someone’s mistress, her self-esteem and dignity would never allow her to.

The next few days were a blur and after figuring out some of the things, Gu Jin finally decided to give up on Long Yifan.

Even if she can’t give up on him, she can just hide away, and focus on her career, maybe she will eventually forget about him, right?

Gu Jin didn’t know whether she was right or not, but all she could feel was pain. Unbearable pain.

So on a quiet day, Gu Jin walked in an isolated forest and sat on the side of the road.

She looked up in the sky and said softly,

"You will cover for me, right?"

No response. Gu Jin lowered her head and soon rain started to pour.

Someone once said rain is the best way to hide your pain. No one would know, whether it is salty water or smoky water.

(Author: Rainwater tastes a bit smoky during winter months and salty water is tears.)

After that day, Gu Jin changed.

The butler didn’t know whether he was overreacting or his intuition was truly accurate.

She didn’t mention Long Yifan. She didn’t talk about his childhood. She didn’t care about anything else other than cultivation and curing Jasmine.

Gu Jin became colder. The girl who sometimes used to show her sharp edges subconsciously became a bit more mature and stopped smiling.

Sometimes, the head butler deliberately scolded her, but Gu Jin kept a blank face.

The head butler’s heart ached.

Long Yifan too sensed that something was amiss with Gu Jin.

The girl suddenly stopped contacting and even when he called her personal phone number, she wouldn’t pick it up.

Butler reported any reports regarding Jasmine. Of course, Gu Jin was the one who requested this.

Long Yifan panicked. He panicked so much that he wanted to visit Fujio City, however, the head butler stopped him and promised to investigate as to why Gu Jin changed.

Within 5 days, the head butler gave the report to Long Yifan.

Gu Jin was attacked and the person who attacked her was Long Yifan’s fiance...

Long Yifan’s heart sank and after much insistence, he was finally able to talk with Gu Jin.

"Hello." Gu Jin greeted coldly.

Long Yifan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked,

"Why didn’t you tell me that she attacked you?"

Gu Jin froze before regaining her senses and said,

"Will Young Master Long take a stand for me?"

Long Yifan was about to agree but Gu Jin’s next line made him silent,

"But wouldn’t Young Master Long have to give our relationship a name then? What would you name me? Stranger? Friend? Benefactor? Doctor? or...mistress?"

Long Yifan couldn’t answer Gu Jin at all.

In his heart he knew that he didn’t think of Gu Jinn as a stranger or friend, but more like...his first crush.

However when he heard the word mistress, his face turned black and he shouted,

"What nonsense! What do you mean by a mistress? Did she call you that?"

Here the ’she’ was Long Yifan’s fiance and Gu Jin understood it.

Gu Jin chuckled,

"What if she did or what if she didn’t?"
