“That’s right. Xiaobei was brought here by his aunt to stay with me for a few days. He plays chess with me every day.” Old Master Gu couldn’t help but complain. “This brat bullied me until I was old and dizzy. He never gave in to me!”
Behind her, the Gu family’s servants’ faces darkened.
Old Master, is it… appropriate for you to let a blind man give in to you?
On the other end of the call, Gu Qiqi held her breath. “Is Xiaobei really there? Is he also with you now?”
“Nonsense!” Old Master Gu waved. “Xiaobei, come here!”
In the very next second, Xiaobei’s clear and innocent voice could be heard over the phone. “Sister!”
Just one word made the tears that had been accumulating in Gu Qiqi’s eyes burst out!
Her eyes lit up!
Xiaobei was really still alive.
He was alive and well.
She didn’t commit an irreversible mistake.
The heavens had given her another chance. No, Gong Jue should gave her another chance.
She raised her grateful eyes and looekd at Gong Jue.
Unfortunately, a certain man was busy instructing Special Assistant Lu to set up an automatic cruise bullet and didn’t see her emotional glance.
“Xiaobei, listen carefully to what I’m going to say next. I’ll meet you in the Imperial Capital very soon. Before you see me, you’re not allowed to take a step away from me, understand?”
“I know, Sister. But…”
“No buts! Apart from Grandpa, you can’t trust anyone, especially Gu Meifeng and Gu Xuexue. No matter how sweet their words are to let you out, you can’t leave with them alone. Understand?”
“I… I understand.” Xiaobei had rarely seen Gu Qiqi speak so fiercely and with such a firm tone.
“You must remember to stay away from them!”
“Qiqi, what are you talking about with Xiaobei? Why are you so mysterious?” Old Master Gu couldn’t help but ask.
Gu Qiqi took a deep breath. “It’s nothing, Grandpa. Please help me look after Xiaobei. I’m here to see you! Grandpa, can you help me keep the matter of me calling you today a secret?”
“Grandpa never lies.”
“Grandpa!”
Gu Qiqi bit her lips.
She didn’t want to alert the enemy.
She had to let Gu Meifeng think that she still had the chips in her hands and that victory was in her grasp. She wouldn’t be in a hurry to continue attacking Xiaobei.
“Haha, for the sake of our Little Qiqi, I’ll make an exception this once! Remember, come to the Imperial Capital quickly. Grandpa has prepared a reward for you…”
As he spoke, he lowered her voice. “You have to keep the reward that I’m giving you a secret too.”
Old Master Gu’s bright laughter and mysterious instructions made Gu Qiqi’s heart warm.
The people she loved were still alive and well.
There was nothing more blissful than this.
After hanging up the call, she closed her eyes and her face slowly regained its calm.
She looked up and saw Gong Jue staring at her.
“Is there something on my face?” Gu Qiqi pursed her lips.
Gong Jue didn’t answer.
He stretched out his big palm and brushed past her small face.
He wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
“How dirty! You’re like a stray kitten!”
After wiping them, he snorted coldly in disdain.
Beside him, Bai Lang curled his lips and couldn’t take it anymore. He said to Special Assistant Lu, “Tsk. Your Master Jue is becoming more and more mushy. Usually, only in melodramatic television dramas will the male lead care about the female lead so much and call her a kitten… Furthermore, he actually tortures us like dogs. I want to report him to the Animal Protection Association…”
Special Assistant Lu held back his laughter and only said. “Master Jue, Young Lady Qiqi, the cruise ship is ready. It can launch an attack anytime!”
Gong Jue’s hands were crossed. The fingers on his left hand were slowly caressing his right hand which had just touched Gu Qiqi’s skin.
It was as if he was reminiscing about that fleeting but exquisite touch.
He still said, “Stupid woman, you decide!”
He could bestow her with this world’s most powerful weapon.
It was entirely up to her to use it!
