Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: His Greatest Weakness (2)
"Strange, Jinjin isn’t joining us for lunch?" Arthur looked thoughtfully in that direction. "Did she make plans with someone, do you know?"
Jinjin doesn’t like getting too close to others, partly because of her identity and partly for safety reasons.
The most important reason is that when Yue Siqing is around, she usually cancels all her other friends’ invitations.
But now, she and Yue Siqing have just returned, and she’s immediately arranged to meet someone else.
This really isn’t her usual behavior; even if they quarrel, she should just lock herself in her room.
"Drive." Yue Siqing’s face was gloomy. "I’ll pick her up later."
Arthur instructed the driver to start the car, contemplating for a moment, "Did something happen in Harbor City?"
The possibility is high, but Arthur knows this isn’t the main reason.
Jinjin seemed off even before going to Harbor City, but he can’t quite pinpoint what changed.
"Just a small disagreement, nothing significant."
"Big brother, Jinjin isn’t unreasonable, you and I both know that." Arthur pondered for a moment, "She always has just one reason, and even with that reason, she wouldn’t become unreasonable without cause. We don’t quite understand you..."
Yue Siqing furrowed his brows tightly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Treat her better." Arthur’s light blue eyes struggled slightly, "If you don’t love her, let her go. This continuous hurting is worse. Or do you really think she’ll wait for you forever? Why wait until the very last moment?"
The last... the very last moment...
"What did she tell you?" Yue Siqing’s voice suddenly turned cold.
Arthur sneered, "She wouldn’t say anything to me. We’ve grown up together; I know her well. Her patience isn’t infinite, haven’t you noticed she’s already changed?"
After a moment of silence, Arthur continued, "I can’t interfere with your choice. I know you’ve never tried to give her hope, only because there’s no other way for Grandpa Gu..."
"Enough!" The crease between Yue Siqing’s brows revealed a hint of agitation, abruptly cutting him off.
"Rest assured, I’ll only remind you this once. But I hope if Jinjin truly decides to leave you, you can let her go."
His icy handsome face showed no emotion, though a trace of cold ridicule flickered in his heart.
Let go?
Never possible.
Never, ever possible!
"How’s the investigation going?" Yue Siqing abruptly changed the subject, "Why haven’t they been found yet?"
Arthur responded calmly, "A very mysterious force, never encountered before. In any case, the name Jinjin mentioned must be an alias. This name doesn’t exist within the United Kingdom, even in China, there are countless people with the same name, making it impossible to identify anyone suspicious."
"Anything else?"
"His disguise is very sophisticated, not sure what methods he’s used. But everything has been calm recently; I still think it’s only with your return that he might reveal himself again. Rest assured, someone is already protecting Jinjin in secret. I don’t know why, but somehow it feels that letting Jinjin go isn’t necessarily a good thing..."

Gu Anjin had arranged to accompany Song Yi to visit a professor.
The reason she didn’t clarify earlier was to prevent Yue Siqing from disrupting her plans.
Heaven knows what he’s really thinking, surely she still deserves the right to make friends.
