Gu Qingyuan insists on forcing Shen Biran to give him up; will he only be satisfied then?
Shen Biran is also desperately trying to prevent this from happening, yet Lu Xiao seems unwilling to let Gu Qingyuan go.
If Lu Xiao releases Gu Qingyuan, he loses the leverage to threaten them.
And if he wants to intimidate them, he must find an entity substantial enough to pose a threat.
Gu Qingyuan is precisely that — insignificant to Shen Biran, but capable of causing a rift in Gu Xiaonuan's heart.
Gu Xiaonuan won't abandon Gu Qingyuan, and that's the crucial point.
Gu Qingyuan probably knows he has this advantage, which is why he can act so unrestrained.
The deeper Gu Qingyuan falls into Lu Xiao's trap, the harder it is for him to extricate himself.
Gu Qingyuan has no idea why such things have come to pass, but this is the reality, happening without any warning.
As the relationship between Gu Qingyuan and Shen Biran worsens, it may never return to how it was.
