Gu Teng asked carefully, “Xiao Xi, did something happen to you? I remember you said that you wanted to go overseas to study law and become a lawyer. Why did you suddenly choose to get married?”
Hearing Gu Teng’s question, Cheng Xi suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. However, she lowered her head and pretended that nothing had happened. “My husband treated me very well. I didn’t want to miss him, so I chose to get married.”
Gu Teng did not believe a word of it. She had known Cheng Xi for so many years and understood her personality. Cheng Xi was not someone who could get married in a flash. If she had not known and loved someone for a long time, she would not have entered marriage.
Moreover, when Cheng Xi mentioned her marriage, she was very depressed, as if she was unwilling.
Gu Teng probed, “Who are you married to? Do I know him?”
“He’s a professor from my overseas school,” Cheng Xi said. “I didn’t expect to marry him either.”
Just as Gu Teng was about to continue asking, Yunbao’s voice came in. “Mom, I’m back!”
Gu Teng quickly went to welcome her precious daughter. She hugged Yunbao and said, “Are you happy in kindergarten today?”
Yunbao was talking about what had happened in the kindergarten today. Halfway through, she noticed Cheng Xi on the sofa and said, “Who is this auntie?”
Gu Teng carried Yunbao over and introduced the two of them. Cheng Xi looked at Yunbao enviously and said, “Such a lively personality is really good.” Gu Teng smiled. “Did you bring the child back? You can bring them over to play. It’s like when the two of us were young.”
At the mention of her childhood, a smile appeared on Cheng Xi’s face, but it immediately disappeared. She sighed and said, “She doesn’t like to go out.
Forget it.”
With that, Cheng Xi was about to leave. Before she left, she looked at Gu Teng reluctantly, as if she had a thousand words to say.
Yunbao could tell that the auntie had something to say. She quietly chanted the mind-reading incantation and heard Cheng Xi say in her heart, “Gu Teng is clearly learning magic, why can’t she see it? Is Devon’s magic so powerful that even Gu Teng can’t compare? Then I’m destined to be like this for the rest of my life, but Lily can’t live like this.”
Yunbao asked, “Who are Devon and Lily?”
Cheng Xi, who had already gone out, immediately ran back and held Yunbao’s hand, her eyes filled with surprise. “You know what I want to say?
When Gu Teng introduced her just now, she said that Cheng Xi was her best friend. Yunbao naturally treated Cheng Xi as a close person and nodded directly. “I can hear what you’re thinking. Auntie, can’t you say it directly?”
Cheng Xi’s tears fell immediately as she said in her heart, “I was under a spell by Devon. I can’t express anything about him and the child. I can’t even tell anyone my name, or he will notice and punish me.”
Yunbao said what she had heard. Gu Teng said in shock, “You were forced to get married by him, right?”
Cheng Xi kept nodding vigorously with tears streaming down her face. She had finally waited until someone could sense that something was wrong with her. Gu Teng said in surprise, “Didn’t your family suspect anything?”
Yunbao said, “Auntie Cheng said that her family is very happy that she can get married. They think that she has grown up and become sensible.”
“That’s ridiculous!” Gu Teng said angrily. “This isn’t about growing up and being sensible at all. How can your family think that way? They don’t consider whether their daughter is really happy at all.”
“Auntie Cheng said that she’s trapped overseas and can’t come back. Devon heard about your wedding and wanted Auntie Cheng to come back and build a relationship with you, so he let her come to the Gu family herself. She also hopes that Mom can sense that something is wrong and save her,” Yunbao conveyed.
Gu Teng fell into deep thought. “The spells overseas are different from those in China. I don’t have much energy left now and can’t help much. Why don’t we let Yunbao try to undo the curse for you? Yunbao’s cultivation level shouldn’t be low.”
Cheng Xi shook her head repeatedly and rejected this suggestion. She let Yunbao speak for her. “If we remove the spell now, Devon will know. My daughter, Lily, is still in his hands. I have to save her first.”
Yunbao asked directly, “Where is Lily now?
“I was with Devon in a hotel in the capital. He knew that Lily was my weakness, so he never let her out of his sight,” Cheng Xi said.
Yunbao thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s steal Lily. Then we won’t have to be afraid of Devon..”
