Chapter 188: Acting Cool Without Fear of Being Struck by Lightning

  As soon as this was said, the car fell into a silence.

  Qin Sheng was originally waiting calmly for Gu Mian to respond, but after a short while, he didn't hear Gu Mian's response and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Mian.

  Just this one glance, Qin Sheng's heart tightened inexplicably, and his hands on the steering wheel almost loosened.

  Gu Mei's eyes actually didn't have anything in them, but precisely because they were empty, it made Qin Sheng feel a bit uncomfortable.

  He had thought about Gu Man's possible reactions, such as shyness, anger, and calmness, but he hadn't expected this expressionless face.

  Gu Mei stared at him with a fixed gaze, as if she had suddenly parted the mist and seen through everything.

  I don't know why, but this kind of behavior from Gu Mian makes Qin Sheng feel like he's hitting his own foot with a rock.

  He admitted that he was a bit sly about this matter, and also counted as being a bit black-bellied. However, when he asked this, it wasn't to make Gu Mian uncomfortable, but rather because he really wanted to see Gu Mian's reaction.

  Who knows...

  "I also want to know who did this. Who do you think it is?" Finally, Gu Mian spoke up, her tone light and a smile on her face.

  After saying this sentence, she stared straight at Qin Sheng and waited for his response.

  "I don't know either." Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment before responding.

  "I was the first to faint, and you didn't know, so I don't know either. But who it is doesn't matter, we should thank them instead. If they hadn't done that, who knows when Yu Xiao would have found us." Gu Mian pointed out Qin Sheng's response to Yu Xiao's actions with a series of "gulps".

  Gu Mei looked at Qin Sheng with a faint smile, and without waiting for the other party to respond, she decisively put down her seat, closed her eyes, and began to take a nap.

  Qin Sheng was taken aback. He rarely didn't know how to respond, and Gu Mian's nonchalant reaction threw him off his rhythm, leaving him a bit flustered.

  It had been a long time since Qin Sheng had felt so at a loss, but after all, he was someone who had experienced many things, and his mind was slightly disturbed before calming down.

  Seeing Gu Canming's obvious reluctance to say more, he could only helplessly shake his head and continue driving honestly.

  Gu Mei leaned her head sideways, with her back facing Qin Sheng's direction. Although she closed her eyes, she was still paying attention to the movements from Qin Sheng's side.

  When women encounter things between men and women, they are more or less shy, but this does not mean that they can let men turn around on this topic.

  She, like most women, suddenly had intimate contact with Qin Sheng, who was not her boyfriend. On the surface, it didn't show, but in their hearts, they both had a hint of shyness. However, she also had something different from other women. Today, Qin Sheng's words made her unhappy.

  If it were another woman, perhaps Qin Sheng would ask and that woman would blush, maybe even reveal her true feelings. Even if she didn't reveal her true feelings, she would still have to make a red face.

  What happened that night was unavoidable. To get out of the predicament, she had already mentally prepared herself on this side, but Qin Sheng brought it up again, and with such a tone, obviously with an air of having gotten away with something and still pretending to be innocent.

  She was a woman with a temper, otherwise she wouldn't have ended things so cleanly and neatly after finding out that Du Hao had married another person.

  It was Qin Sheng who first expressed her good feelings, and she did not deny that she had the intention of indulging in his behavior, just as Han Lu said, Du Hao is already a thing of the past, and since there are so many good men around her, she might be able to find one among them.

  When a man and woman are together, she may allow ambiguity, but if you start it, it doesn't mean you can control it!

  Besides, she isn't necessarily someone who can't be replaced. The situation is still unclear and nobody knows what's going on.

  You're quite something, Qin Sheng. You've gotten a good deal and you can just smile to yourself about it. And yet you still dare to ask this kind of question in front of her. Isn't it just that you want to see her reaction? Well, she'll give you a reaction, whether or not it's the one Qin Sheng was hoping for is no longer her concern.

  Women are not always on the passive side.

  Finally, Qin Sheng was at a loss for words, and Gu Mei's mood improved instantly. The problems that had been bothering her in the past few days were solved effortlessly. Although she didn't have much experience in love, it didn't mean she could be easily fooled by others. Since Qin Sheng wanted to play dumb, she would play along too, and see who could outdo whom.

  Originally, Gu Qing just wanted to close her eyes and rest for a bit, not intending to fall asleep. But before she knew it, whether it was because the pent-up emotions in her heart had dissipated or if she really was tired, she drifted off into a daze and fell asleep.

  Qin Sheng was clever but was misled by his own cleverness, and got a nose full of dust. Before Gu Mian's anger dissipated, he didn't dare do anything else, until they reached their destination and it was time to get off the bus, then he woke up Gu Mian.

  Gu Meng woke up and had recovered, still treating Qin Sheng with the same warmth and courtesy as before, without a hint of estrangement or excessive closeness, which gave Qin Sheng an indescribable feeling.

  How to describe it?

  Neither up nor down, the kitten's paw is scratching in my heart?

  It was natural for Yu Xiao to come and greet them. Before coming out, Yu Xiao was still thinking in his heart that on that night, he had actually cooperated with Qin Sheng to take the ball of cloth out of Gu Mian's mouth before taking action. He had given the other party such a gift, but he didn't know what kind of return gift Qin Sheng would give him.

  Qin Sheng that guy has always been sulky and refused to admit to them that he had any intentions towards Gu Mian, this time being caught red-handed, let's see what he can say now.

  Why use your mouth when you can pick it up with a cloth?

  Can those few ropes really tie up Qin Sheng and make him unable to move?

  Get out of here!

  But... after receiving Qin Sheng and Gu Mei, he always felt that something was not quite right. Taking advantage of Gu Mei being taken away to see the things intercepted from Lin Hai, Yu Xiao couldn't help but start asking questions.

  "Qin Sheng, what's going on? You and Miss Gu seem to be still in that state?" Yu Xiao asked cautiously.

  "We were originally like that, what else can we become?" Qin Sheng retorted, casting a sideways glance at Yu Xiao.

  Not good, Qin Sheng is unhappy!

  Yu Xiao's mind sounded an alarm. His experience told him that if he continued to ask questions at this time, he would definitely be the unlucky one. It was better to retreat quickly.

  In fact, there was no need for Qin Sheng to answer him, and he could have guessed it anyway. Most likely, Gu Mei would react as Qin Sheng had anticipated.

  Although he expressed his deep sympathy for Qin Sheng in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly give Gu Mei a thumbs up and praise her: Gu Mei, good job!

  Who made him suffer so much at the hands of Qin Sheng in the past, even if he couldn't find his way back himself, if others let Qin Sheng lose face, he wouldn't object either.

  Of course, this eating soft also has to be divided into nature, if it is infringing on the substantial interests, as long as it can be used in his spare time, that's okay, knife mountain fire sea are all worth going.

  Never mind... Let's get down to business.

  "Lin Hai is still here, do you want to go ask him?" Yu Xiao skillfully changed the subject.

  "Of course we have to go ask." Qin Sheng nodded and motioned for Yu Xiao to lead the way.

  "Right, before you came, we just had an appraiser come here." Yu Xiao seemed to have thought of something and said to Qin Sheng.

  "Who is it?" Qin Sheng asked.

  "I'm not very clear either, you know this isn't our territory, the people brought by the authorities here, I couldn't possibly stop them." Yu Xiao felt a bit stifled when mentioning this.

  He didn't want to disturb the people on this side, but he accidentally leaked his trail. Now they have openly found an appraiser, and even if he's not happy about it, there's nothing he can do. After all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own nest.

  "It's just someone coming to appraise things, no big deal." Qin Sheng didn't care much about it and urged Yu Xiao to hurry up and lead the way.

  Yu Xiao also stopped talking and adjusted her expression, restoring her usual cold and serious demeanor in front of others, and took Qin Sheng to the place where Lin Hai was being held.

  Gu Xiang was taken by someone else to identify something, and that person took Gu Xiang to a small room and then stood aside, not intending to leave, but waiting for Gu Xiang to make the identification.

  The other party's behavior was met with a glance from Gu Mian, who didn't say anything.

  Things may have been taken out by Yu Xiao before, neatly arranged on the desktop, not messy at all. One side of the table was full of things, while the other side was empty, apparently prepared for the person in charge of appraisal.

  Gu Mei hastily scanned through them and couldn't help but feel a little excited. The jade plate that she had fainted with before was actually among these things.

  She didn't even think about it and immediately reached out to pick up that jade plate.

  "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful..." The joyful exclamations of admiration once again came from Gu Mian's heart, and it was unknown how much the owner of this jade plate loved beauty in his lifetime, so that even the jade plate couldn't stop making such exclamations.

  Putting down the jade plate, Gu Mian looked at other things, Lin Hai's things were mostly small pieces, but after a closer look, Gu Mian found something strange.

  Among the things Lin Hai brought, only that jade plate seems to be of the best quality and highest value, while the others are slightly inferior.

  Those rare golden utensils, there isn't a single one in here, she clearly remembers that they had brought out several golden utensils before they fainted.

  Gu Mei casually picked up a small copper tripod, the copper tripod was relatively small and exquisite, with some rust marks on it, the workmanship was not bad considering the craftsmanship at that time, unfortunately there were no inscriptions on it.

  In ancient times, the price of bronze ware with inscriptions and without inscriptions differed greatly. If this small copper cauldron had even one more inscription on it, I'm afraid its price wouldn't be low.

  "Are you... Miss Gu?" Just as Gu Mei was getting absorbed in her thoughts, someone suddenly spoke up.
