This was the reaction Chen Yue wanted. She said, “You’re currently being pursued by the three aristocratic families. I’m afraid you’ll be caught before you reach the airport, but I can help you.”

“What do you want?” Devon asked.

Chen Yue didn’t say anything and just looked at him steadily. Devon understood what she wanted. In any case, she didn’t understand the side effects of the potion. Even if he couldn’t immediately leave the country, he could fool her for a while. It didn’t matter if he gave it to her now.

Devon nodded and said, “I can concoct it for you now, but I still need your blood as a catalyst. As long as Xiao Jing drinks it, he will fall in love with you.”

Chen Yue quickly stretched out her hand and said, “If you want my blood, take it. I only want Xiao Jing’s love.”

Cheng Xi still did not know Devon’s decision and was a little worried about what to do if he did not come. Lily could not delay any longer.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Gu Peng walked over to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Yunbao said that she would definitely be able to catch Devon. With his energy, she can save Lily.”

During this period of time, he had been accompanying Cheng Xi. Even when he went to work, he would leave a message. Whenever he was free, he would send her a message. It really made her feel safe.

Cheng Xi subconsciously showed her reliance in front of him and said, “I’m not worried about Yunbao’s ability. I’m just afraid that he won’t come. I’m not completely confident in a lunatic.”

“You also said that he’s a lunatic. His obsession is you. He’ll definitely come.”

Gu Peng held her hand.

Cheng Xi couldn’t help but cry. “Ever since I met him five years ago, my nightmare has started. Even if he really dies, I won’t be able to be happy. My best years have already been ruined in his hands.”

“No,” Gu Peng retorted. “You’re only in your twenties. You’re at your prime.

You’ll have a better life in the future. Don’t trap yourself in the past.”

The two of them held each other’s hands and fell silent, but it seemed that they had said everything they wanted to say.

Yunbao and Lily, who were hiding outside the door, saw everything. Lily left without a word and walked downstairs. Yunbao thought that Lily was thinking the same thing as Gu Zi and hurried over to comfort her.

Lily sighed. “If only Uncle Gu Peng were my father. Mommy would definitely be very happy.”

Yunbao did not expect her to think this way, but she agreed. “Eighth Uncle is indeed very good. If you like him, you can make him your father.”

“You don’t understand.” Lily felt even more hurt. “Even if he was with Mom, he wouldn’t be my father. I’m not even his child.”

Yunbao really did not understand. Gu Zi did not want a new mother, Lily wanted to have a father. These two people had confused her.

Lily was even more sad when she saw Yunbao’s confused look. She wanted Gu Peng to be her father, but he definitely would want a child of his own.

Lily began to weep at the thought. She hated the gods for making her Devon’s daughter. If only she were Gu Peng’s daughter.

This cry made Yunbao even more helpless. She could only sit beside her and accompany her, wiping her tears from time to time with a handkerchief.

When Yunbao told her mother about it at night, Gu Teng understood what Lily was thinking. She hated her background.

Gu Teng told this to Yunbao. She was very puzzled. “But Sister Lily has already left Devon. If Eighth Uncle likes Aunt Cheng Xi, then she can be Eighth Uncle’s daughter. Why is she crying?”

Gu Teng stroked her daughter’s hair and said, “Because some people think that blood is more important than recognition. Only by flowing the same blood can we become a family.”

Yunbao nodded half-understandingly, but she still didn’t quite understand. However, seeing her mother’s melancholic expression, she could only stop asking.

Cheng Xi’s plane ticket was set for two days later. She held Lily’s hand and headed to the airport in a very high-profile manner. Not only did she dress up carefully, but she even called Gu Yu to send her off so that she could agitate

Devon.

Originally, this mission was given to Gu Peng. The Gu family brothers hoped that he could save the damsel in distress. However, Cheng Xi rejected this arrangement and said, “Devon will do anything to achieve his goal. Gu Peng  doesn’t know any spells. Even if he follows, he won’t be able to defeat him.”

In order to ensure Cheng Xi’s safety, Gu Peng immediately suggested that Gu Yu follow. He was a disciple of the Soaring Cloud Sect who had cultivated spells for many years and would definitely be able to resist Devon’s attack..
