Chapter 2685 - Her Real Face
Chapter 2685: Her Real Face
Guo Xinning ordered several dishes as well as some wine. He still didn’t know what to say after everyone had sat down and a few moments had passed.
When they met for the first time in the forest, he thought they were all weak, so he helped them whenever he could. He also took care of them throughout the journey. However, he later discovered that the other side’s strength was unfathomable.
Even though he was the Guo family’s outstanding son, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Feng Jiu. On the contrary, even as peers, he had already established some distance, and would not interact with her in the same manner as the Xie siblings, who talk and joke with her casually.
“The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking. Little Jiu, take a look. Aren’t those lights look like stars when viewed from a great height?” Xie Shisi asked, smiling and squinting as she lay on the edge of the fence, looking excitedly at the night scene in the distance.
“Mm hmm, the scenery is spectacular if you look down from a high elevation.” Feng Jiu gave a slight nod.
When Guo Xinning heard this, his gaze was drawn to her. As he observed her aloof expression, a smile on her ordinary face, and her unremarkable features, an idea flashed through his mind.
Maybe this wasn’t her real face.
How could a formidable Strong Exponent like her appear so ordinary? For a few moments, his gaze was fixed on Feng Jiu, completely lost in thought, before she returned his gaze with her brows arched.
“Are there flowers on my face?” Feng Jiu questioned, fiddling with the wine glass handle in front of her.
“I’m wondering if the face you have now is not your original appearance.” Guo Xinning uttered this remark as if he was not in his right mind. After a brief moment of confusion, he realised he had offended her. “Sorry.”
Feng Jiu, too, was taken aback and only chuckled. She made no other response but shook her wine cup and took a sip.
Xie Yutang turned to face Feng Jiu and stared at her for a long time after hearing Guo Xinning’s suspicion. “How can this face be fake when it looks so natural? Furthermore, there is no indication of a change in appearance!”
As he spoke, he looked at Guo Xinning, and asked, “Big Brother Guo, why do you think so?”
When Feng Jiu heard Xie Yutang’s comments, the corners of her mouth twitched. Foolish boy, would she still use this disguise if he was able to see through it so easily?
“Of course, that’s what Little Jiu looks like!” Xie Shisi, who had been leaning over the fence, turned around and said, “When we first met him, he looked like this. Although he was not particularly attractive at first glance, he now looks pretty good.”
When they first met him, he struck them as a simple and honest young man. Even after he arrived at the Xie family, he simply gave the impression that she was someone who didn’t talk much and who might not be seen for a day if they didn’t look for him.
However, she felt like a different person since they fell into the forest. She would have wondered if he hadn’t been with them all the time if he hadn’t been switched. How else could he have suddenly become so fierce?
Feng Jiu was speechless. Didn’t she look attractive? This face was incomparable to her original, but it was at least delicate and handsome. Obviously, this appearance was slightly inferior to the young masters of influential families that they were used to, but they couldn’t say she wasn’t attractive, could they?
Seeing Feng Jiu’s slightly arched eyebrow, Xie Yutang nudged his sister with his elbow and smiled sheepishly at Feng Jiu.
