《Nice To Meet You, Mr. Xiao》 Chapter 1 - 1: This man is very domineering! 1 Chapter 1: This man is very domineering! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions S City, winter! As night falls and city lights start to shine, snowkes are fluttering chaotically. In the darkness, a ck, low-key luxury vehicle is driving swiftly. ¡°Squeak.¡± The car stops at the roadside! ¡°Master, give me five minutes.¡± The man in the driver¡¯s seat turns his head respectfully and says. The back seat ispletely ck; only a deep, maic voice responds: ¡°Mm.¡± Inside a high-end club, a petite figure stumbles out. The wind is somewhat strong, blowing her long hair into a mess, blocking her delicate oval face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I clearly had a non-alcoholic drink, why does my head feel so dizzy?¡± She murmurs softly, rubbing her temples with her small hands. Gu Chuyan¡¯s steps wobble as the wind pushes her forward like an invisible hand. She lifts her head, looking around; the neon lights make her eyes blur. ¡°Catch her, don¡¯t let her escape!¡± From not far behind, someone is relentlessly pursuing her. ¡°Quickly bring her back. Young Master Chen has a generous reward.¡± In the luxurious club, several men barked coarsely, charging towards Gu Chuyan. Gu Chuyan is slightly drunk; she wobbles and feels unwell after a few steps. The night wind is so strong that it pushes her towards the car. When her hand hits the car edge, she pushes, and the car door swings open. She loses bnce before she has time to understand the situation. ¡°Ah!¡± Gu Chuyan stumbles forward and falls in! Upon falling, Gu Chuyan instinctively grabs onto something. The impact hurts her face, and she moans, trying to stand but her dizzy mind prevents her from doing so. ¡°Ouch, it hurts.¡± She wrinkles her nose and moans in pain. Xiao Mohan sits in the chair; dim light reveals his chiseled facial features. His deep, dark eyes are unfathomable; his high nose bridge, thin and sexy lips. His whole persona radiates an exceptional nobility, as though he¡¯s made to rule, yet without the brashness normally associated with it. Instead, he emanates an understated, deep elegance and indifference. ¡°You!¡± He watches in disbelief as a figure plunges in, holding onto his arm, and falls into his arms. He can¡¯t believe that the woman who stumbled into the car is ¡­ wiping her mouth on his clothes? ¡°What¡¯s this? It smells awful.¡± Gu Chuyan lowers her head, sniffing. The ¡°cloth¡± she was wiping her mouth with carries a distinct masculine aroma. A faint smell of tobo, mixed with a hint of something else, makes her frown. She finds this unfamiliar scent somewhat unpleasant. Xiao Mohan never thought he¡¯d meet a woman who, right in front of him, criticized the way he smells! He can¡¯t help but sniff himself; he only smells clean, the only other scent being that of tobo. ¡°Get up.¡± Xiao Mohan says in a cold tone as he roughly hoists her up. A soft fragrance wafts towards him, mixed with a hint of alcohol. This woman has been drinking? He is dumbfounded for a second. ¡°Mommy!¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s small face nuzzlesfortably against him, murmuring. ¡°Mm, feels good.¡± She murmurs, curiosity taking over as she reaches out to squeeze Xiao Mohan¡¯s face a few times. Pinching the tip of his nose, she moves her face closer to his, appraising him. ¡°Mm, is this a human? He looks pretty good, though.¡± She mutters, seemingly ¡®oblivious¡¯ to the silent pair of ck eyes steadily watching her. At herment, the man¡¯s face seems to turn green! ¡°Is this a human?¡± Is she questioning his gender? Or, perhaps, belittling him? Xiao Mohan¡¯s dark, quiet eyes are ame with anger, as though ready to set her on fire. ¡°Had your fill of touching?¡± Two fingers reach out, pinching her chin, pulling her body upright. Gu Chuyan blinks her almond-shape eyes, looking at the man in front of her. The man is handsome, especially his deep eyes that seem filled with endless wisdom. He seems reserved and steady, his unobtrusive demeanor making people wary of approaching him. Chapter 2 - 2: Meeting Him 2 Chapter 2: Meeting Him Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Who are you?¡± She asked in a soft voice, her eyes scanning the strikingly handsome man. Under the influence of alcohol, Gu Chuyan reached to touch his face. Unfortunately, before her hand could reach his face, he forcefully shoved her. Her body rebounded from the sudden force and once again fell towards him. As she fell towards the man, Gu Chuyan cried out, her hand clutching her head. ¡°Damn!¡± The man seethed angrily, hauling her off him. Gu Chuyan was tired and had been ready for a quick nap. To be harshly woken was a vition of her sleepy peace. ¡°What¡¯s the issue?¡± She asked, upset. She was unsteady on her feet when he hoisted her up. Just as he was about to toss her away, she faltered and fell onto him, causing both to copse onto the row of seats across from them. Gu Chuyan¡¯s sparkling eyes met his, his heated breath tickling her face. The dim car light cast an intimate atmosphere¡­ ¡°Who knew such handsome men existed?¡± she mutters, swallowing hard. Boldly, she crawled onto him, her drunken gaze fixed on his face. ¡°Hiss.¡± Xiao Mohan groaned in distaste. ¡°Damn woman, dare to misbehave again and see what happens,¡± Xiao Mohan threatened. But at that moment, this woman was daring to get closer to him! Gu Chuyan was frustrated. Her expensive dress was being tugged and crumpled ¨C an excruciating sight for her! ¡°Ah,¡± she gasped, but before she couldprehend anything, she was hauled up. Xiao Mohan sat back in his seat, forcefully pushing her out of the car. The car door swung open with a ¡°ck¡±. Han Changqing turned around just in time to see somethinging at him and instinctively blocked it. Gu Chuyan, pushed by Han Changqing, tumbled into Xiao Mohan¡¯s embrace, her little face hurting from the impact. Han Changqing stared ahead in surprise. Upon closer inspection, he eximed, ¡°Good gracious! Isn¡¯t that a woman? And why is she in young master¡¯s arms?¡± ¡°Ehem, sir, do carry on,¡± Han Changqing coughed awkwardly, looking away. ¡°Get her off me!¡± barked Xiao Mohan, his voice a maically terrifying growl. ¡°Yes,¡± answered Han Changqing, moving to hold Gu Chuyan, but failed to do so. He noticed that her tiny hand clung onto Xiao Mohan¡¯s arm; she looked so peacefully asleep. A woman¡­fell into his arms¡­and slept¡­soundly? ¡°Sir, do you think there¡¯s something wrong with this woman? Nobody in S City knows you¡¯re back.¡± Han Changqing said, exasperated and scratching his head. Xiao Mohan said nothing, a chilling aura seeping from him; enough to make anyone shiver in fear. Chapter 3 - 3: Frame-up 3 Chapter 3: Frame-up Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Seeing this, Han Changqing discarded his teasing demeanor, wearing a serious face, he respectfully said, ¡°My Lord, I will handle her immediately!¡± He forcefully pryed her small hand loose, intending to bring her away. But who could know that this woman was deeply asleep, constantly rubbing against Xiao Mohan¡¯s chest! Han Changqing saw it and thought, ¡®This is getting out of hand! How dare this woman intrude upon the Crown Prince.¡¯ ¡°My Lord, you¡­! Or should we¡­.¡± Han Changqing had a tough decision to make, as questionable as her origins were, at least it was better than Xiao Mohan staying untouched by women! Upon hearing Han Changqing¡¯s words, the veins on Xiao Mohan¡¯s hand bulged! ¡°Go away.¡± With one word, Han Changqing was so frightened he quickly made to carry the woman away! Han Changqing was torn, to kill her, or¡­ ¡°Send her back.¡± Xiao Mohan watched her fading figure, was silent for a few seconds, then spoke to Han Changqing. ¡°Send her back? Fine.¡± Han Changqingplied and took severalrge steps, suddenly realizing he didn¡¯t know who she was! Xiao Mohan started the car, driving away into the distance. ¡°My Lord, my Lord.¡± Han Changqing cried tears of frustration, stood there feeling wronged, took out his cell phone and made a call! Within a minute, he identified her, dumped her at the front door, and knocked. ¡°Who is it?¡± Someone came out to open the door, Han Changqing hid in the shadows! Only after seeing someone carry her in did he breathe a sigh of relief. The next morning at the Gu Family house. Gu Chuyan was curled up in bed, sound asleep! She had a dream during the long night, in her dream, the man was extraordinary. ¡°My God, how embarrassing.¡± Gu Chuyan sat up, burying her head in her knees, she could still feel her face burning hot. She massaged her temples, fell back onto the bed, rolled around, ¡°Gu Chuyan, you¡¯re only 19 years old, you actually¡­ dreamt about being infatuated with a handsome guy?¡± After speaking, she jumped off the bed, crawled out, and slowly walked outside. She faintly heard people talking, ¡°This is so unreasonable, a young girl, getting drunk in the middle of the night, and even sleeping at the front door. What kind of behavior is this? What if it gets out, where will the Gu Family¡¯s face be then?¡± ¡°Uncle! Please don¡¯t talk about sister like that, she just went drinking with a few guysst night!¡± That whiny voice belonged to Gu Miaoting! Gu Miaoting, her aunt¡¯s daughter! Her aunt brought her daughter to the Gu Family for refuge when she fell on hard times, and they¡¯ve been here for twenty years! They even changed theirst name to Gu, people who didn¡¯t know any better thought that Gu Miaoting was the Gu Family heiress! ¡°It¡¯s my fault for spoiling her too much in the past, ruining the reputation of the Gu Family.¡± Hearing those words from the patriarch, Gu Chuyan threw her head back, looking at the ceiling, in a mood almost of sarcasm. ¡°Oh well.¡± Gu Chuyan pushed the door open, walked to the front hall, she leaned against the door, watching the inside of the hall coldly, Gu Yan sat in the primary seat, with Aunt Lian Zhenzhen next to him, and her cousin Gu Miaoting acting coquettish! She cast a sneer, one happy family of three. ¡°Having a family meeting?¡± She walked over in her slippers, went around the luxurious tea table, sat down on the sofa, tilting her head to nce at Gu Miaoting, ¡°I must thank cousin forst night, for giving me a drink that was able to get me drunk!¡± Rememberingst night, she was totally puzzled! After clearing her head, she guessed there might be something wrong with that cup of water, and who else besides Gu Miaoting would do such a thing? Even though she had no proof, she just suspected her. Chapter 4 - 4 A Beautiful White Lotus 4 Chapter 4 A Beautiful White Lotus Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Chuyan, what are you talking about? I stayed at home all night.¡± Gu Miaoting spoke softly, her face turning pale and her eyes welling with tears. She looked as if she was unjustly used, biting her red lip asrge teardrops rolled down her face. ¡°Gu Chuyan, that¡¯s enough.¡± Gu Yan defended Gu Miaoting immediately upon seeing this. ¡°Hehe.¡± Gu Chuyan gave a softugh, standing up and casting a nce at Lian Zhenzhen and Gu Miaoting. She met Gu Yan¡¯s dark gaze and said softly, ¡°Anyone who is oblivious would think that Gu Miaoting is your biological daughter, and that I am just someone you picked up¡­¡± ¡°Smack.¡± Gu Yan stood up, his hand soaring upward to strike hard on Gu Chuyan¡¯s face. Gu Chuyan was hit so hard that her face was turned to the side, her ears ringing and a salty taste in her mouth. It felt as if something was stuck in her throat, making her unable to speak. It was painful, burning pain! ¡°Don¡¯t nder Miaoting. She is a good girl.¡± Gu Yan¡¯s voice came as an irresistiblemand. Gu Chuyan slowly looked up, her face bearing the imprint of his fingers. Her fair and delicate face was horribly swollen. Gu Yan unconsciously clenched his hand. At this moment, he felt a pang of pain in his palm. He didn¡¯t expect he would use so much force. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t hit her. It¡¯s my fault! I shouldn¡¯t have revealed that Chuyan went out drinking.¡± Gu Miaoting pleaded for her miserably, while in fact, she was pushing her into the abyss. Hearing the words ¡°went drinking,¡± Gu Yan felt as if he had been greatly humiliated. He pointed at Gu Chuyan and ordered, ¡°Return to your room and reflect on your actions.¡± A smirk crossed Gu Chuyan¡¯s lips as she watched Gu Miaoting retreat cautiously, sobbing, and muttering, ¡°Chuyan, don¡¯t look at me like that! I¡­I¡¯m sorry.¡± As she spoke, she knelt down before Gu Chuyan and bumped her head on the floor. ¡°Miaoting, what are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with you! A woman should maintain her self-esteem. As for Chuyan, don¡¯t me me for nagging ¨C you should stop upsetting your father,¡± Lian Zhenzhen ¡°advised¡± kindly. Gu Chuyan¡¯s smile deepened, she pointed at Lian Zhenzhen and said, ¡°You are just a distant rtive! Don¡¯t assume yourself as thedy of the house after moving into our home! You¡¯re not fit.¡± Upon seeing this, Gu Yan roared, ¡°Someone, take her to her room to reflect on her behavior!¡± Seeing the situation, the butler hurriedly stepped forward, pulling her, ¡°Miss, let¡¯s go back to the room! Your face is swollen and bleeding, if you don¡¯t apply medication, I fear it will leave a scar.¡± Gu Chuyan shook off his hand, ran back to her room, and mmed the door shut. The butler went in and got some ice for her to apply on her cheek, muttering, ¡°Miss, don¡¯t lower yourself to their level! The master still cares about you, it¡¯s just¡­.¡± Gu Chuyan remained silent, closing her eyes. Her heart felt suffocated. More than a decade ago, Lian Zhenzhen brought Miaoting to the Gu family seeking refuge. It wasn¡¯t long before Miaoting changed herst name to Gu, purportedly for the convenience of attending school. But She could sense that they had ulterior motives. She sat there in solitude, lost in thought for two hours without realizing it. ¡°Ring.¡± At that moment, her cellphone rang. Seeing this, the butler, Afu, made his exit and closed the door behind him. Looking at the call disy, Gu Chuyan rolled her eyes, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Chuyan, pleasee to the Blue Plum Cafe quickly.¡± Gu Miaoting¡¯s anxious voice came through the phone from the other end. Just as she was about to respond, the call was hung up. ¡°What does she want with me?¡± Gu Chuyan let out a sardonicugh. She and Gu Miaoting had always been at odds. She pondered for a while. Curious about what Gu Miaoting wanted, she got up, changed her clothes, and left. Little did Gu Chuyan know, what awaited her was a grave conspiracy. Chapter 5 - 5: Framing Her 5 Chapter 5: Framing Her Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Gu Chuyan hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Blue Plum Cafe. The Blue Plum Cafe, located in the heart of S City, is said to have a substantial and influential owner whose caf¨¦ is frequented by those of noble stature and respected reputations. ¡°May I ask who you are?¡± The waiter approached Gu Chuyan as soon as he saw her. ¡°Gu Family,¡± Gu Chuyan replied. The waiter paused, ¡°You must be Ms. Gu¡¯s younger sister, right? Please,e in.¡± It seemed that Gu Miaoting had already sent word ahead. Gu Chuyan found it amusing that Gu Miaoting had be so important within the Gu family, simply from bearing their surname. As Gu Chuyan walked into the caf¨¦, she saw a bustling crowd. Gu Miaoting was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding her coffee and seemingly lost in thought. ¡°Why did you want to see me?¡± Gu Chuyan asked, cutting straight to the chase. Upon hearing Chuyan¡¯s voice, Gu Miaoting turned around gracefully, her ck dress emphasizing her statuesque figure. ¡°I¡¯m sorry about this morning! For your troubles, let me make it up to you with a coffee,¡± Gu Miaoting stepped forward, grasping Gu Chuyan¡¯s wrist. Gu Chuyan instinctively withdrew, stepping back. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me,¡± she said softly, her eyes cold. Instead of getting angry, Gu Miaoting lowered her head towards her. ¡°You know something? Last night, I intended to make her taste something exciting, but you couldn¡¯t hold your liquor and ran off in a drunken stupor,¡± Gu Miaoting whispered in Gu Chuyan¡¯s ear. Her words struck Gu Chuyan like a hammer. She knew that her drink had been tampered withst night and had guessed that Gu Miaoting was behind it! But she never expected Gu Miaoting¡¯s scheme to y out the way it did! ¡°p.¡± Gu Chuyan raised her hand and pped Gu Miaoting in the face! She grabbed Gu Miaoting¡¯s hair and shoved her aside. Gu Miaoting didn¡¯t resist and smirked. ¡°Gu Chuyan, you brought this on yourself,¡± Gu Miaoting said softly. Gu Chuyan could not understand what she meant. Seeing themotion, a waiter ran over to try and intervene. Unexpectedly, Gu Miaoting suddenly stood straight, grabbed Gu Chuyan¡¯s hand, and shoved it towards the waiter. Gu Chuyan stumbled back. Gu Miaoting then pushed the waiter and kicked a coffee cup, causing it to roll towards the waiter¡¯s feet.p> ¡°Ah!¡± The waiter stepped back, stepping on the coffee cup and leaning backwards. No one expected that the floor-to-ceiling window Gu Miaoting had been looking out of was open, and the waiter fell out, plummeting from the 28th floor to his death. ¡°Gu Chuyan killed him,¡± Gu Miaoting screamed, pointing at Gu Chuyan. Everything happened so fast that no one could see clearly, but everyone saw the waiter fall. Now that Gu Miaoting was pointing at Gu Chuyan, naturally everyone assumed that it was Gu Chuyan who was responsible. ¡°Call the police.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who pushed him, quick, save him!¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s legs gave out in fright. Nobody had expected the window to be open! But in this situation, they needed to save the falling man first! Gu Chuyan was bbergasted. Even though it was Gu Miaoting who had pushed the waiter, why was she using her? And that coffee cup, it was obviously Gu Miaoting who had kicked it over! This was a conspiracy! A premeditated plot! Gu Miaoting was attempting to utterly destroy her. How cruel! Gu Chuyan looked up, staring at Gu Miaoting¡¯s panicked face. ¡°Chuyan, go! Leave quickly, I¡¯ll take the me! Your father¡¯s got influence, he will protect you! Don¡¯t be afraid, everything will be fine.¡± Gu Miaoting¡¯s voice was loud enough for everyone in the caf¨¦ to hear. Chapter 6 - 6: Kicked Her Away with One Foot 6 Chapter 6: Kicked Her Away with One Foot Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions So she is the heiress of the Gu family, no wonder she dared to openly shove people. Gu Miaoting¡¯s words sparked a lot of people¡¯s anger. ¡°Hehe.¡± Gu Chuyan suddenly chuckled. She stood there, looking at Gu Miaoting, suddenly bing calm amidst the panic. Gu Chuyan didn¡¯t leave, but just looked up at Gu Miaoting with a deeper smile! ¡°Gu Miaoting, you¡¯re too impatient,¡± she said with a smile. Going home to find daddy? Gu Yan has always been sweet on Gu Miaoting! Besides, she wasn¡¯t at fault in the first ce. And what aboutst night¡¯s incident, Gu Miaoting deliberately nned to set a trap for her after she got drunk? How ridiculous! It was as if they were feeding a wolf at home, yet treating it like a gem. From the most hidden room in Blue Plum Coffee, you could clearly see all this. ¡°Tap tap.¡± Inside a VIP room, a man took a small sip of his coffee. His slender fingers lightly tapped twice on the fine mahogany table. Seeing this, Han Changqing quickly stood up and respectfully asked, ¡°Sir, may I assist you with anything?¡± Xiao Mohan lifted his leg, his fingertips tweaked the cuffs of his shirt and straightened it out. He slowly raised his head, stood up, lifted his leg, and walked away. The spectators all backed away, looking at Gu Chuyan with eyes awaiting a show. ¡°Make way, make way.¡± At this moment, the police came up the stairs and walked towards them, but someone was faster than the cops. Xiao Mohan walked towards the crowd, radiating a kingly momentum. Like a ma, the people unconsciously made way for him. ¡°You!¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s wrist was grabbed, and a man stood before her, his tall figure looming over her. Her clear eyes were filled with unhappiness. When they met his silent ck eyes, she inexplicably felt startled, for while it was difficult to see through his deep gaze, it was also incredibly calming. ¡°Come with me.¡± The low sound of Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice echoed. Gu Chuyan was being pulled by her wrist. Before she could react, Xiao Mohan carried her horizontally into his arms, turned around, and strode away. ¡°Stop.¡± Seeing this, the policeman chased them, carrying his electric baton. Xiao Mohan¡¯s footsteps paused. He slowly turned his head, his gaze passed over this crowd of people, looking faintly at Gu Miaoting, then he walked away with Gu Chuyan in his arms. His gaze made Gu Miaoting shudder with unease. ¡°Don¡¯t let them get away! She¡¯s a murderer, catch her.¡± Gu Miaoting shrieked, as she ran over in her high heels. Han Changqing was following behind her. Seeing her rush forward, he lightly stepped aside! His foot hooked under hers, and Gu Miaoting lost her bnce and fell straight forward. ¡°Ah.¡± She lost her bnce and tried to reach out for something. Han Changqing, not being a gentleman at all, lifted his foot and kicked her! ¡°Boom boom¡± Gu Miaoting¡¯s body flew to the side and toppled into a trash can and couldn¡¯t get up. Han Changqing turned around, disappeared into the elevator! He pressed the elevator button, and the three of them arrogantly left, disregarding everyone around. ¡°Sir, all the surveince videos have been destroyed,¡± Han Changqing turned around and respectfully confirmed to Xiao Mohan. Being held in the man¡¯s arms, Gu Chuyan lifted up her head to look at his handsome face, it was familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before! Hearing Han Changqing¡¯s words, she was startled. She had meant to go look for the surveince footage to prove her innocence, but it seemed now¡­ ¡°Hmm.¡± The man responded in a deep voice, without a hint of surprise. He looked down at the woman in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and pointed at her forehead. ¡°So it really is like this,¡± he said in a low voice, but no one knew what he meant. Chapter 7 - 7 Presenting Evidence 7 Chapter 7 Presenting Evidence Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Peaceful silence enveloped Xiao Mohan¡¯s dark pupils, subtly disrupted by undercurrents of emotion. He felt neither repulsed nor disgusted! It was a peculiar feeling. Just like the night before, any other woman would have been strangled by him, but she seemed to be an exceptional being. Han Changqing discreetly sneaked a peek at Gu Chuyan¡¯s delicate face! Struggling to maintain hisposure, Han Changqing slowly turned around, struggling to hold back hisughter. ¡°Cough.¡± Han Changqing formed a fist and lightly coughed into it. Xiao Mohan nced up, giving him a brief, indifferent look. Via the elevator mirror, Han Changqing caught sight of the Master¡¯s gaze, and immediately sobered up. ¡°Ding,¡± the elevator doors opened. Han Changqing was the first to step over, walking towards a luxurious car and opening its door. Xiao Mohan, carrying her, proceeded towards the car and climbed in. ¡°Catch them.¡± At that moment, police officers were running down the staircases, and a few patrol cars were blocking the exit. The sudden situation made Gu Chuyan¡¯s face pale, she quietly said, ¡°Sir, thank you for your help just now! I can¡¯t leave.¡± She hadn¡¯t done anything wrong. If she ran, it would make her a fugitive! Besides, she couldn¡¯t allow Gu Miaoting to act so arrogantly, she had to expose her true face. Gu Chuyan reached to open the car door, but her wrist was held back. Heat radiated from the man¡¯s fingertips, making her hand lightly tremble. Looking up at him, she saw him peacefully gazing at her, his fingers lightly tousling her tousled long hair. ¡°Are you scared of dying?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gu Chuyan resolutely responded. A subtle, enigmatical smile surfaced on Xiao Mohan¡¯s thin lips. He leaned into her ear and whispered, ¡°Do you want to get rid of her?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Her answer was firm and sure. Xiao Mohan¡¯s maic voice, like a calming pill, sparked Gu Chuyan¡¯s curiosity as she looked at him! ¡°Good.¡± Xiao Mohan¡¯s smile deepened. He looked towards Han Changqing and softlymunicated, ¡°Aqing, ram through them.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing responded as he pressed his foot on the elerator! The car surged forward like a ferocious beast. Seeing this, the patrol cars hurriedly swerved aside, watching as the luxurious car roared away! ¡°Chase them, they¡¯re too arrogant! Chase after them and bring them back.¡± At that point, someone stepped forward and shouted at the cars disappearing in the distance. Barely had he finished speaking when a luxurious car sped up from behind! ¡°Screech.¡± The car abruptly slowed to a halt, the car door swung open, a hand reached out to grab the man, and a voice arrogantly dered, ¡°Your man has been kidnapped. Get lost if you don¡¯t want him dead.¡± ¡°Get back!¡± They were so scared that they almost urinated in their pants! The sharp dagger held against him¡­forced him to hold still. Seeing the car charging ahead, Gu Chuyan instinctively closed her eyes! Were these people intending tomit suicide? Surprisingly, no collision urred¡­ ¡°Screech.¡± Han Changqing hit the brake and jumped out of the vehicle, nodding at Xiao Mohan before walking into the civil administrative office. Seeing the car stop, she turned to him and said, ¡°Thank you for your help just now, I should leave now.¡± She felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be a burden on them! Besides, epting help from strangers was a luxury she couldn¡¯t afford during such moments of uncertainty. She needed to distance herself from the situation. ¡°I have something for you to have a look at.¡± said Xiao Mohan. Hezily reached out and passed her a slim Ipad, signaling her to take a look. Gu Chuyan looked confused. Taking the Ipad, she swiped across the screen! There on the screen was a video clip! She hit y and saw a figure swaying in the pitch-ck night. Upon closer inspection, the shadow eerily seemed familiar. Chapter 8 - 9: Could There Be a Problem? 8 Chapter 9: Could There Be a Problem? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Could it be¡­ impotence?¡± she murmured to herself inwardly, but not daring to voice such thoughts out loud. Gu Chuyan thought further. Seeing that she was doomed either way, there was no hope for her to count on her own family, the Gu family anymore. Her eldest brother hadn¡¯te home for three years, his whereabouts unknown. Her family would definitely not care about her wellbeing. Gu Yan, for his sake, must want to send her straight to jail- and then Miaoting would be content. ¡°Does this include meals and amodations?¡± Gu Chuyan asked weakly, feeling embarrassed by her own question. ¡°Included.¡± Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan stretched out her hand and poked his chest. He was not only handsome but built as well. Absolutely top-tier. ¡°What?¡± Xiao Mohan grabbed her tiny hand, moving it away. Leaning back in his chair, Xiao Mohan started to casually unbutton his shirt, speaking in a low voice, ¡°Still considering me?¡± ¡°I, I didn¡¯t mean to¡­¡± Gu Chuyan hastily jumped out of the car in a panic. To prove she wasn¡¯t the kind of person he thought she was, in reality, she was afraid she wouldn¡¯t be able to control herself. A promising young man was about to be ruined by her. Helpless, she felt like she was a huge yboy. She turned around, jumping off the car, nearly falling off, but a sturdy hand reached out, keeping her from falling and scooped her into his arms. Gu Chuyan was held by him as he walked further inwards. ¡°Make way! Make way.¡± Han Changqing rushed forward to clear the path for him. ¡°Civil¡­Affairs¡­Bureau?¡± Gu Chuyan raised her head, reading the three characters hanging above the building, she was utterly confused. He carried her inside! The staff inside rushed over to greet them and shake his hand. ¡°Master Xiao, we are looking forward to your patronage.¡± The Bureau¡¯s staff were ecstatic. ¡°Mm.¡± Xiao Mohan epted the red booklet and handed it over to Gu Chuyan. Seeing the red booklet, Gu Chuyan¡¯s hands were shaking. She turned it over and over again to look at it. Was the reason for Han Changqing¡¯s earlier arrival rted to this matter? So, the actual person doesn¡¯t have to be present for the marriage procedure? Would anyone please tell her this wasn¡¯t real? ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Catching sight of this, Gu Chuyan instantly grabbed the red booklet and started running towards the exit, pulling over a staff member to question. But the facts showed that she really was now married! ¡°Why am I able to get a marriage license?¡± She was on the verge of crying. She thought it was a jokey proposal, not believing that they could really get married. The staff member respectfully looked at her and responded, ¡°Marriage has nothing to do with a license.¡± Not rted to a license? Then what is it rted to? ¡°Then what is it rted to?¡± Gu Chuyan asked. The staff member thought to herself: Marriage! It has to do with love. If you¡¯re in love, you can wait at any time, right? With such a handsome man, even she would want to marry him. Han Changqing walked back over and said to her, ¡°Madam, I have some pressing matters so I¡¯ll be leaving first! I¡¯ll take you home.¡± ¡°He left?¡± Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan turned and the man was nowhere to be seen! Han Changqing nced at her and respectfully said, ¡°Yes, Master has urgent matters to deal with.¡± Gu Chuyan waved her hand at him and asked, ¡°Can I go for a walk around first?¡± She wanted to find an opportunity to escape, to see what was happening right now. She couldn¡¯t just sit there doing nothing, right? Miaoting, that bitch, her skin needed to be peeled off. ¡°Madam, you happen to be a murderer at the moment,¡± Han Changqing said, reminding her in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan¡¯s face turned pale. She covered her face with her hand, ran behind Han Changqing, and cautiously clutched at the back of his suit jacket. Chapter 9 - 10: You actually want to kill Miaoting? 9 Chapter 10: You actually want to kill Miaoting? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°What do we do now?¡± Gu Chuyan asked. Han Changqing was shocked by what he saw and didn¡¯t know how to respond! He imagined Xiao Mohan as being very serious, but this woman¡­Uh, seemed to be different from his imagination. ¡°I will handle it for you, ma¡¯am! Please go home.¡± Han Changqing said to her, carefully prying her small hand open. Hearing his words, Gu Chuyan gathered her courage and said: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± As she left with Han Changqing, her phone rang. The iing call was from Gu Yan. She thought for a moment and then took the call. ¡°Gu Chuyan! You¡¯ve really disappointed me! All these years of teaching you wasted? You actually wanted to kill Miaoting? You¡¯ve now wrongfully used someone else. Murder requires retribution! Come back immediately and surrender yourself.¡± Gu Yan¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Mr. Gu, did you see memit the murder with your own eyes? Or did you see me wanting to kill her?¡± Gu Chuyanughed coldly. It was a bit sunny in the winter at noon time! But she inexplicably felt very cold, very cold! Cold down to the heart. ¡°You¡­¡± Gu Yan was left speechless. Without saying another word, Gu Chuyan hung up the phone, made up her mind! She stepped forward, sat in the back seat and said, ¡°Just go!¡± It was better to go anywhere than to return to the Gu Family¡¯s home when her brother wasn¡¯t home. Without anyone to protect her, going back would be suicidal. Her brother, who had disappeared for three years, was he still fine? Gu Chuyan was a little flustered. Han Changqing drove straight towards the outskirts of the city. The skyscrapers in the city disappeared from view, and a mountain appeared not far away. ¡°This ce¡­looks like a fairnd.¡± Gu Chuyan was in a daze when her eyes caught sight of an ancient-looking mansion standing halfway up the mountain not far away. The smoke curled up in the front. The mountain looked like a god, looking down at the entire city. It seemed to separate from the city by an insurmountable boundary! Although connected by the mountain, it gave her such an impression. Gu Chuyan was taken aback by her own thought. Ahead, a long, asphalt road led straight to the middle of the mountain. On either side of the road, cherry trees were nted. In the cruel winter, they still exuded a charming fragrance. ¡°Ma¡¯am, we¡¯re here,¡± said Han Changqing, parking the car and moving to unlock the car door for her. Gu Chuyan looked at the luxurious house in front of her and the quiet ce that seemed sacred. Her heart pounded with a sudden impact. ¡°Who are you people?¡± she blurted out. Living halfway up the mountain and looking down arrogantly at the world, there were no strangers or distractions. She was not told what this ce was, but standing here, she felt a bit intimidated. It seemed as if her arrival was interrupting the tranquility. ¡°Ma¡¯am, please.¡± Han Changqing did not give a straight answer but made a gesture indicating that she should go in. As Han Changqing led her in, the door automatically opened, revealing the luxurious and antique lobby. ¡°Ma¡¯am, feel free to rx! I have some matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± Han Changqing said to her respectful, then he turned around and left. In the huge, empty mansion, she was the only one left! The M Group, located in the golden area of the city center, with its high price and area, symbolizes its unattainable status. M Group, highest floor, in the luxurious office! A figure leaned against the sofa, tall and straight. He leaned in a way that unintentionally gave off a sense of mystery. The ring of a telephone broke the silence. The manzily stretched out his hand, his slender fingertips fell on the end of the sofa, picked up the phone. ¡°Hello.¡± His voice, charmingly maic, was enough to bewitch hearts. He slowly stood up, his tall figure turned slightly, and strode towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Chapter 10 - 12 - She Misunderstood 10 Chapter 12 ¨C She Misunderstood Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Halfway up the hillside, inside a luxurious mansion. Gu Chuyan sat on the steps for half a day, memories of the day¡¯s events causing her inner restlessness. It was not until the setting sun cast its nted rays across the earth that she came back to her senses! ¡°Beep.¡± At that moment, she picked up her phone and mustered the courage to turn it on! She was afraid of seeing the news, of rumors painting her as a fugitive, and she didn¡¯t want to be a part of it! Therefore, she chose to shut it down! But after turning it on, she was expecting the news to be buzzing with rumors, considering how big the situation had be. ¡°Huh, how can there be nothing?¡± Gu Chuyan thought her phone was malfunctioning, so she stood up, dragging her numb legs, and leaned on the balcony railing. She held up her hand so the signal was full and looked again! After refreshing several times, there was no news about her. ¡°Am I dreaming?¡± She pinched her face hard! It hurt a bit, she wasn¡¯t dreaming! ¡°Beep.¡± At that moment, thetest news came in. She clicked on the news headline, which read: ¡°Li Family¡¯s second young master fainted and fell in XX restaurant, waking up incapacitated!¡± She widened her eyes at such a headline! ¡°The CEO of the Li Corporation wanted to donate eighty million to sponsor impoverished areas, thepany suspended business operation!¡± A previously thrivingpany suspending operations could mean a possible bankruptcy. She leaned on the balcony, closing her eyes! Maybe because her emotions had been suppressed all this time, she felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her after sitting down. She hugged her knees and fell asleep. At night, a luxurious car drove up the hillside. Xiao Mohan looked at the pitch-ck hall, stepped in, and the hall instantly lit up. The empty ce was as if no one had ever been there. He walked towards the stairs, opened the door to the bedroom, inside, everything was immacte, devoid of any foreign presence. ¡°Hmm.¡± He faintly heard a sound, turned to look, and at the end of the corridor, on the corner of the balcony, a figure was huddled there, arms around the knees. ¡°ck.¡± A phone slipped from herp. Xiao Mohan walked over and reached out to stroke her hair. To his surprise, the sudden presence startled Gu Chuyan and she recoiled in fright. ¡°ck.¡± She fell to one side, Xiao Mohan swiftly reached out and caught her. When Gu Chuyan¡¯s body was unceremoniously hoisted up, she looked up through blurry eyes to see a looming figure and immediately jolted awake, struggling. Stuck, she felt the man¡¯s hand tap her forehead. ¡°Stop squirming.¡± His deep voice finally calmed her. Xiao Mohan carried her back to the bedroom, andid her down on the sofa. ¡°Xiao¡­ Xiao Mohan?¡± It took her a moment to remember that the red book had ¡°Xiao Mohan¡± written on it, she tried calling out his name. ¡°Hmm.¡± He sat down, looking at her with cold eyes, a slight upward curl of his lips. He slowly raised his left hand, tousling her hair lightly, ¡°Now, I am your man.¡± His words were like that of an emperor¡¯s decree. ¡°¡­¡± Upon hearing his words, Gu Chuyan became entirely sober! She shifted her body to lean against the arm of the couch, taking a deep breath, she asked timidly, ¡°About that matter, could we talk it out?¡± With the video in his hands, she was like a snake, the vulnerable part exposed to his mercy! ¡°Before we get down to business, would you like to drink something?¡± Xiao Mohan got up, taking off his ck coat, he casually threw it onto the hanger. His tall figure, dressed in a white shirt, entuating his perfect physique! He walked over to one side, pushed the wall adorned with a plum blossom, revealing a shelf, filled with exquisite bottles of wine, all of which appeared to have quite a few years on them. ¡°I¡­¡± She wanted to say, she didn¡¯t drink. Chapter 11 - 13 Drinking Together 11 Chapter 13 Drinking Together Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He reached for a bottle of red wine and two wine sses and stepped forward! ¡°Try it.¡± Xiao Mohan poured two sses of red wine and handed one to her. Gu Chuyan stared at the red wine and then at the indifferent expression on his face, especially that face¡­ Her heart was pounding! She covered her face with her little hand! ¡°I¡­¡±. She seemed to be tongue-tied, unable to speak at all. She simply reached for the bottle of red wine on the table and drank straight from it! She drank most of a 1982 premium red wine bottle! ¡°Pinch.¡± She sumbed to a hup and tossed the wine bottle aside, her white face was flushed and with squinting eyes, she moved close to his face. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be with you¡­..¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Chuyan said, struggling to push herself up, her body wobbled as she stood up: ¡°I, I think I¡¯m drunk, I¡­ need to get away from you.¡± She said, trying to walk away, but her body was out of control! She stumbled into his arms, clinging to him like an octopus! ¡°Yikes.¡± She let out another hup in his arms and fell into a deep sleep. Xiao Mohan looked at the woman in his arms, exuding a strong aroma of alcohol, his thin lips tightly closed. After a while, he finally said, ¡°Don¡¯t want to be with me?¡± He conjured with surprise, did she think that the real thing is¡­ to fall in love? At this time, Han Changqing walked in, saw this scene, scratched his head, and braced himself to approach: ¡°Sir, are we going to the Gu Family?¡± ¡°No.¡± Xiao Mohan replied. He had initially nned to go back to the Gu Family with her, who would have thought she misunderstood¡­ .. Thinking about it, Xiao Mohan couldn¡¯t help butugh, finding the woman in his arms, quite amusing. ¡°Sir.¡± Having heard Xiao Mohanugh, Han Changqing, as if he had seen a ghost, questioned if there was an issue with his ears, thinking that he misunderstood! ¡°Hit the Li Family hard! Freeze all businesses, issue a ban! Whoever still dares to misuse antiques, the Li Family will be made an example.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Upon hearing this, Han Changqing exited the room. Xiao Mohan picked up Gu Chuyan andid her on the bed, looked down at her, only to see her small face, flushed from drinking, looking very cute! She probably didn¡¯t feel secure while asleep, always liked to curl up! ¡°No.¡± He extended his hand to adjust her, but when he touched her body, she startled and recoiled, hid in the corner of the bed, and continued her deep sleep. Xiao Mohan frowned, looking at her appearance, it was clear she was afraid! ¡°Beep.¡± At this moment, his mobile phone beeped, indicating a new message. He walked to the side, picked up the phone to take a look, opened hisptop, and continued with the video conference until 3 am. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s time to rest.¡± At this time, Han Changqing walked in with the Li Family¡¯s acquisition contract, reminding him. ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing his voice, Xiao Mohan lifted his wrist to check his diamond watch! Han Changqing exited the room, Xiao Mohan got up, and walked into the bathroom. Gu Chuyan rolled over in therge bed, feeling an intense bloating in her stomach. She sat up, ruffled her hair, lifted the nket, and walked ahead. ¡°Whoosh.¡± She pushed open the ss door and stumbled in. ¡°Ah, such urgency.¡± Gu Chuyan held her stomach, the excessive drinking had awakened her with gastric difort! She arrived at the toilet bowl, closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, closed her eyes again, listened to the music, and quickly fell into a dreand. Xiao Mohan, while shampooing, saw her shadow walking in! He saw her sitting on the toilet, listening to the music, seemingly having a good dream. There was even a smile on her face. He called her twice in a deep voice, thinking it seemed she had fallen asleep again. ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 12 - 15: I will Carry this Burden for You 12 Chapter 15: I will Carry this Burden for You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Picking up her phone to check the news, there were no negative articles about her! ¡°I shouldered that me for you.¡± Xiao Mohan¡¯s words came to mind. Could he really have such influence to clear her name? As she pocketed her phone and prepared to leave, she noticed a slip of paper on the ss table in the lobby. ¡°Drive the car away.¡± The three powerful words seemed to issue amand that was hard to resist. An apanying key was ced beside the note. Throughout the city of S, rumors of the Li Family¡¯s bankruptcy circted. Gu Chuyan, wrestling with her inner conflict, drove a Ferrari towards the Gu Mansion. She parked the car some distance from the house and entered through the back door without noticing a pair of eyes fixated on her from a second-floor window. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re back?¡± Upon seeing her, Butler Afu, who was busy with his duties, hurriedly greeted her. ¡°Yes, is Miaoting here?¡± Chuyan replied as she headed towards the stairs. She hade home to confront Miaoting. Chuyan had been absent when the ¡°bad¡± deed was donest night. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that everyone in the Gu Family might already be aware of what she had done. Miaoting hadmitted such actions before, but this was the first time it was ruthless and without any hope of repair. ¡°She just stepped out.¡± Afu informed. As he watched her ascend the stairs, Afu felt a pang of sympathy. He had watched Chuyan grow up and knew she was a good child, but he felt she was increasingly drifting away from home. ¡°She¡¯s not here?¡± Chuyan paused halfway up the stairs at his words. But she didn¡¯t think too much of it and continued to her room. Just minutes ago, Miaoting had been standing upstairs, sipping her coffee, in high spirits. She wasn¡¯t expecting Chuyan¡¯s return. ¡°Why is she back?¡± Miaoting wondered. As she received a text message, she put her coffee down, grabbed her purse, and made her exit. Chuyan arrived just as she had left! She drove to the nearest KTV, where two men with bleached hair were waiting. Upon seeing her, they swaggered towards her, toothpicks in their mouths. ¡°Young Master Chen is waiting for you in the private room on the sixth floor.¡± Hearing this, Miaoting strides off arrogantly, her head held high like a peacock in full disy. In the chilling winter, she wore a low-cut sweater with a coat over it and long boots. Her tall figureplemented the outfit, oozing absolute style. ¡°Understood.¡± Replying, she heads towards the elevator. On the sixth floor, in front of a certain private room, Miaoting opened the door only to be greeted with a strong smell of liquor and cigarettes. ¡°Ah.¡± No sooner had she stepped inside than she was pulled violently and thrown onto the sofa. Before Miaoting could react, a figure loomed over her, leaving her staring at the man in front of her in shock. ¡°Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen! You do know I¡¯m from the Gu Family. If youy a finger on me, there¡¯ll be someone who won¡¯t let you off!¡± Miaoting struggled. ¡°p.¡± The very same Young Master Chen she was pleading to mercilessly pped her, leaving her cheek swollen. ¡°Ah.¡± Miaoting barely had time to react. As shey on the floor, she watched him advance menacingly, his gaze fixed on her, a malicious smile ying at the corners of his mouth. It wasn¡¯t until an hourter that Chen finally stood up. ¡°Tsk, for someone who seems so wild, who would have thought that this was your first time?¡± He lit a cigarette with a lighter, taking a deep drag. Miaotingy on the couch, lifeless. She couldn¡¯t believe that she, a Gu Family heiress, was vited in this manner. The more she thought about it, the less she could bear it, wishing¡­ Chapter 13 - 17: Bullied by a Stranger Chapter 13: Chapter 17: Bullied by a Stranger Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the Gu Mansion, Gu Chuyan pushed open the door to Gu Miaoting¡¯s room and walked in. Approaching the desk, she noticed a book left open. As she reached to pick it up, a slip of paper fell out. She picked it up and read: ¡°IOU?¡± ¡°Gu Miaoting owes XX three million. Gu Miaoting decides to pay off the debt using Gu Chuyan! ¡± She couldn¡¯t believe it. The signature on it was from the night she got drunk! ¡°Miss, the master called and said everyone has a half-day off tonight. I have prepared dinner and left it in the kitchen. You can eat when you get hungry, ¡± Afu¡¯s voice echoed from outside. Gu Chuyan quickly grabbed the IOU, pretending to be calm as she walked out. ¡°I see.¡± Gu Chuyan replied, finding the situation strange. Why suddenly give the servants a break? Was Gu Yan trying to save money? Upon considering this, she returned to her room! She picked up her phone, took a picture of the IOU and uploaded it to the cloud, then tucked the IOU into her bag! She intended to find evidence of Gu Miaoting¡¯s wrongdoing and kick her out. Footsteps echoed from downstairs. Gu Chuyan stood by the window and pushed it open! ¡°It¡¯s snowing.¡± Gu Chuyan was somewhat surprised as she stretched her hand out. Snowkes fell lightly on her palm, chilling to the touch. Hearing someone talk, she burst intoughter: ¡°Afu, aren¡¯t you off for the day? Why¡¯d youe back?¡± ¡°Pop.¡± At that moment, the entire mansion plunged into darkness, it was obvious that the power had gone out! Her heart thudded at the ominous feeling. Just as she heard the door open, she turned around to see a tall figure walking towards her. The stranger reeked of alcohol as he shed his coat. ¡°Crash.¡± A drinking ss nearby was knocked over by his coat, shattering onto the floor. ¡°Who are you?¡± Watching the unfamiliar figure, Gu Chuyan had a foreboding feeling. The man gave a low suppressed chuckle: ¡°Miss Gu? In this long and cold night, I think we¡¯d make a good pair. How about you be my girlfriend, we could make do.¡± . On impulse, Gu Chuyan tried to dodge past him and run towards the main door. As she ran past him, he quickly grabbed her arm. ¡°Trying to run? I¡¯ve been waiting for you here for a while now. Why don¡¯t we have a chat?¡± he said. However, his actions were very presumptuous, clearly not the actions of a gentleman. Panic surged within Gu Chuyan, she bit down hard on his arm. The man flung her to the ground in pain. She scrambled up but he grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up: ¡°Dare to bite me? No one has ever dared toy a hand on me before.¡¯ ¡°Help, help!¡± Gu Chuyan cried out. Unfortunately, all the servants in the Gu Mansion were off work! She was alone in the entire empty mansion. There was not even a dog around. The moonlight streamed in, illuminating the shattered ss pieces on the floor, glinting in the soft light. She instinctively grabbed a shard of ss. At that moment, she was absolutely terrified. Her eyes zed with a survival instinct, not thinking much of anything else. ¡°Shh.¡± Blood spurted from his chest. Gu Chuyan, terrified, ran barefoot out of the door. The mansion was deathly quiet. All that could be heard were her footsteps and her panting breath. ¡°Damn woman, dare to run!?¡± The man clutched his chest wound, unable to believe he¡¯d been injured by a woman. He briskly stepped out, hot on her heels. ¡°Click-ck.¡± The sound of high heels echoed from the hallway up front. Upon hearing the abrupt sound, Gu Chuyan turned to look. Despite the darkness, she could clearly see Gu Miaoting standing not far away, her cold expression sending shivers down her spine.. Chapter 14 - 21: What Are You Holding? Chapter 14: Chapter 21: What Are You Holding? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Xiao Mohan¡¯s eyes are bloodlust, and his body emits a chilling aura that sets one¡¯s hair on end. In the midst of this harsh winter, it seems as if the temperature has dropped by dozens of degrees! ¡°Investigate.¡± This word, explosively uttered, makes it clear that his fury has reached its peak. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing replies. Xiao Mohan scoops her into his arms and gets into the car. Han Changqing takes the wheel and drives off. The luxurious vehicle, like an arrow, drives straight towards the mansion on the hillside. He lowers his gaze to the woman in his arms and notices her small hand curled into a tight fist! He tries to pry it open, but she only grips tighter. ¡°I am Xiao Mohan. I¡¯m taking you home.¡± With a gentle pinch, he sees her mobile phone fall from her hand! The screen is shattered, but she¡¯s gripping it tightly. He takes a look at the damaged device. ¡°To Wen¡¯ange.¡± ¡°Screech.¡± Upon hearing this, Han Changqing ms on the brakes! Cold sweat drips from his forehead. He wonders if his ears are ying tricks on him again, Xiao Mohan actually wants to go to ¡°Wen¡¯ange.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± He replies. Xiao Mohan, the third young master of the Xiao family! Gifted from an early age, he took over the family business at fifteen! At eighteen, he trained his own Xiao family army, leading his finest troops through the vastndscapes of Jiangnan and across Europe, establishing the M Group at twenty! However, in his life, Xiao Mohan despises two things! First, he can¡¯t stand women. Second, he loathes the owner of Wen¡¯ange! The vehicle speeds along. A sprawling ¡°pce¡± asserts its presence in the West District of S City! It¡¯s as if dering war on the world, I am the king,e and challenge me if you dare! ¡°I¡¯ll go and knock on the door.¡± Han Changqing parks the car, notices that the main gate is closed, and says to Xiao Mohan. Xiao Mohan¡¯s eyes narrow, and a bloodthirsty chill creeps onto the corners of his lips. In a deep voice, he says just one word: ¡°Crash.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± More cold sweat breaks out on Han Changqing as he steps on the gas pedal and speeds toward the gate. With a loud ¡°bang,¡± the gate is sted open. The car, like a runaway horse, rushes into ¡°Wen¡¯ange.¡± Xiao Mohan, holding Gu Chuyan, sprints in while Han Changqing takes the lead. ¡°Young Master! You can¡¯t go in!¡± At that moment, the butler rushes out, looking terrified. Why is Xiao Mohan here? It¡¯s known that Xiao Mohan and Wen Shui have never got along well! Whenever they meet, it¡¯s like an earthquake¡­ ¡°Move.¡± Xiao Mohanmands, rushing in with her in his arms. He turns and heads upstairs, kicking open the bedroom door and stepping in. ¡°Save her.¡± Xiao Mohan orders. The great room is adorned with pink curtains. The windows are open, and the curtains flutter in the breeze. A fragrant incense emanates from an incense burner, creating a pleasant aroma! From therge bed, an arm stretches out to pull back the curtain. A charming face tilts upwards and rests against the headboard. In a soft voice, he asks, ¡°Who¡¯s there, burning with such rage? Hmm?¡± ¡°Get down.¡± Xiao Mohan orders coldly. Upon hearing Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice, Wen Shui nearly rolls off his bed. He bolts upright, sitting on the edge of the bed, captivated by the sight before him! Xiao Mohan, with a woman in his arms, is standing by his bed! ¡°What¡­ what are you holding?¡± The man on the bed looks shocked, rushes down and strides towards him, reaching out towards Gu Chuyan! He wants to see for himself who exactly is nestled in Xiao Mohan¡¯s arms¡ªa woman or a man, or perhaps a humanoid? ¡°Thud.¡± Xiao Mohan lifts his leg and kicks towards his midsection. Wen Shui gets knocked to the ground. Undeterred, Wen Shui scrambles back to his feet! ¡°This¡­ this¡­¡± Wen Shui turns to Han Changqing, pointing towards Xiao Mohan and asks in desperation: ¡°Is the one in his arms a transgender?¡± He can¡¯t believe that Xiao Mohan would be carrying a woman!

In front of the towering skyscrapers, a symbol of some sort of identity! Exuding supreme status, Gu Yan was d in a ck suit, his face flushed with excitement! He never dreamt that he would be promoted to such a high position! Although he suspected some sort of trickery, who would despise a higher position and more money? ¡°Congrattions, Mr. Gu!¡± Many people came to congratte him! Gu Yan¡¯s face was glowing red with delight, enthusiastically shaking hands, building good rtions! Completely pushing yesterday¡¯s unpleasant event at home out of his mind. ¡°I hope everyone can guide me in the future,¡± Gu Yan humbly said. Gu Yan lead the way, his secretary on his right! And behind them were more than twenty staff, the scene was very impressive. Not far away, many journalists were waiting to interview him. Not too far, a luxurious Land Rover parked on the side of the road, the car window slowly slid down, a pair of deep ck eyes scanned the scene, thin lips curved into a cold smirk. ¡°Aqing.¡± The man¡¯s maic voice, extremely pleasant to hear. Han Changqing held the steering wheel with both hands, itching to do something! Hearing his voice, his mood seemed particrly good: ¡°Boss, I¡¯m on my way.¡± He whistled and strode forward! A few secondster, a luxurious Harley (an imported motorcycle, worth 500,000) sped towards him. A man wearing ck attire, his face masked and wearing a baseball cap, swung his arm, a wire hook flew out and caught onto Gu Yan! ¡°Bang.¡± Gu Yan was hooked, the Harley drove off at speed, dragging Gu Yan who fell heavily to the ground. His body skidded across the ground, the sound of clothes being torn echoing in the air. ¡°Ah, what¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°Mr. Gil.¡± At this time, the secretary and other staff who were following him were shocked! By the time they regained theirposure, Gu Yan had been dragged far off, the journalists hoisting their cameras, chasing behind! ¡°Breaking news, chaos has broken out in the city. It seems Mr. Gu has run into trouble¡­¡± The scene is being broadcasted live, the journalists are remarkably diligent. ¡°Help me.¡± Gu Yan called out in a deep voice! The Harley suddenly stopped, the man dressed in ck got off the bike coolly, a sharp iron rod slung over his shoulder! He nonchntly walked forward and kicked. ¡°Mr. Gu, I admire you greatly.¡± Before Gu Yan could respond. He saw the stranger¡¯s rod swinging down towards his thigh: ¡°A little gift for you. I hope you ept it with pleasure. Give me a good rating.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Gu Yan could only hear the sound of his bone breaking! The man in ck squatted down, patted his face: ¡°I heard you were very arrogant yesterday! Let¡¯s add a ssh of color to your look. But¡­of course, it has to be red.¡± With those words, he reached out to unpin the tie pin from Gu Yan¡¯s cor! He then shed it across his face! Blood sttered out, he dipped his finger in it and looked: ¡°Hmm, very red, very fresh!¡± ¡°You, who are you?¡± Gu Yan asked through gritted teeth, he had been cautious all these years, never directly offending anyone. ¡°p.¡± The man in ck lifted his hand and pped him viciously! ¡°You¡¯re not in a position to ask me that.¡± He said arrogantly, spitting on Gu Yan¡¯s face, before riding off on his Harley! Not too far away, the secretary and other employees were all stunned, journalists all swarming in! Where was the arrogant young man now? All that could be seen was Gu Yan lying on the ground, far from his triumphant demeanor just minutes ago? He looked like a dead pig, his face contorted with pain. Not far from the city hall, Han Changqing strolled back, whistling happily, and got back into the car: ¡°Boss, the weather is really nice today.¡± As he spoke, he picked up a tissue and wiped the blood off his fingertips! Chapter 16 - 25 Don ‘t Look at Other Men Chapter 16: Chapter 25 Don ¡®t Look at Other Men Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Her fingers were tightly intertwined! Looking at Xiao Mohan in some confusion, she was clearly not ustomed to this situation. Her eyes were shining and she turned her head away, her lips firmly pressed together. In a soft voice, she says, ¡°You¡­¡± But she saw Xiao Mohan, his thin lips curling up into a smile, looking at her with his eyebrows raised. ¡® In two separate sentences, her words exploded in her heart! Gu Chuyan¡¯s almond eyes were wide open, thinking. Finally, she said, ¡°What if I am a wicked woman, Xiao Mohan, you would be at a disadvantage.¡± Blessed with such good looks, his face alone could make anyone weak at the knees! Upon hearing this, Xiao Mohan, the man¡¯s face came close, his thin lips almost touching hers, moved slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m willing to suffer a loss, as long as ites from you.¡± Hearing his words, Gu Chuyan, for some reason, her little face suddenly flushed! ¡°Er.¡± As Xiao Mohan turned his head, she thought he was going to leave, so she stood up, but who knew, his lips came forward, their lips touched! ¡°What, are you afraid of me?¡± His maic voice resounded in her ears. Gu Chuyan¡¯s small hand was nervously clutching the corner of her clothes, somewhat at a loss, like a child. Xiao Mohan¡¯s hand held her cheek, and her body stumbled into his arms. ¡°Err.¡± Gu Chuyan moaned softly, her eyes wide open her hands not knowing where to go! Her mind went nk, her body stiffened, stuck in his arms, she even forgot to breathe. Her face was incredibly red from his domineering kiss! Just as she was about to suffocate, her eyes widened as they watched Xiao Mohan¡¯s handsome face getting closer, her vision gradually blurred. ¡°Err.¡± Just when she thought she was about to die, Xiao Mohan let her go. Gu Chuyan¡¯s body went limp, and she was about to fall onto the chair when he lifted her body and held her against him! ¡°I, I, I!¡± She stammered, unable to speak. ¡°Gu Chuyan.¡± Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse as he murmured her name softly. Her name, soft as water, he whispers it as if he wanted to blend it into his heart. ¡°Has school started tomorrow?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. Only after hearing his words did Gu Chuyan remember that her holidays were over! She needed to attend school tomorrow, as a junior, she cannot fail her course. ¡°Hmm.¡± She responded absentmindedly. Xiao Mohan picked her up and let her sit on the chair, his hands on either side of the chair, enveloping her tight body, ¡°Do you need to stay at the school dorm?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± She said bravely. The man¡¯s gaze was locked on her delicate cheeks! He couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, yfully twiddles with her hair, letting it run through his fingers. ¡°Understood.¡± He said, and then stood up, took a step back, his hands thrust into his pockets. Gu Chuyan stole a few nces at him, then touched her lips! There was an awkward urge to run away, but her legs were so soft that she couldn¡¯t move. Perhaps her heart had died, what happened yesterday! But she wasn¡¯t sad at all, today on TV, when she saw Gu Yan being dragged away and beaten so his leg was broken, she actuallyughed. ¡°The marriage certificate is real! At school, don¡¯t get too close to other men.¡± Xiao Mohan turned his head and said to her! Interfere? Gu Chuyan listened, her ¡°bang¡± head went nk! Could it be that he thought the previous two times, she was messing with him? Looking at the man¡¯s smiling face, she felt inexplicably like a frightened tortoise. ¡°But.¡± He paused for a few seconds, turned back and passed her by, dropping a sentence as he did so: ¡°I¡¯m the exception.¡± ¡® Hearing these words, Gu Chuyan turned her head to see him walking away towards his residence, leaving her alone!

Her foot, though the swelling had subsided, still hurt terribly! ¡°Ring.¡± At this moment, her cell phone rang. She swiped the screen with her fingertips, and saw that the caller was actually Lian Zhenzhen! A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Chuyan¡¯s mouth as she lightly tapped her phone to decline the call. ¡°Gu Chuyan, your father has had an ident! Hurry up ande to the hospital.¡± When she didn¡¯t pick up, Lian Zhenzhen sent a text message! After a moment of thought, she replied with a message: ¡°Miss Lian, does Mr. Gu¡¯s injury have anything to do with me?¡± ¡°Gu Chuyan, how can you say that? He is your father.¡± Lian Zhenzhen said. Looking at the word ¡°father¡±, Gu Chuyan gave a bitter smile! She tossed her phone aside and suddenly remembered something. She clicked on the image of the IOU. Arge hand reached out and snatched her phone! ¡°You!¡± She turned to the intruder, only to see Xiao Mohan holding her phone and looking at the screen. Han Changqing moved a chair forward and sat down elegantly. ¡°What do you n to do with her?¡± Xiao Mohan raised his head and asked. She hadn¡¯t expected him to ask. She was silent. ¡°Fight fire with fire,¡± she said. Hearing her words, Xiao Mohan handed her cell phone to Han Changqing, touching it with his fingertips. ¡°What¡¯s your n?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. Han Changqing twitched at the corner of his mouth when he looked at him. He was fooling a little girl. He had arranged everything and was now asking for Gu Chuyan¡¯s opinion? ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet.¡± She gave an honest answer, her mind was in a mess these days! Xiao Mohan stood up, took two steps forward with his long legs, and turned slightly. His white shirt entuated his tall and straight figure. He raised his hand and casually unbuttoned two buttons of his cor. His breathtakingly deep facial features made him sexy and lethal. He took two steps toward her. ¡°If you haven¡¯t decided, then make her life worse than death. What do you think?¡± Xiao Mohan suggested, his words came out with an entirely different meaning. ¡°Alright,¡± she replied. Xiao Mohan stood up, thought for a moment, and said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡± ¡°Why are we going to the hospital?¡± she asked. He held her in his arms and turned to say, ¡°Aqing, prepare the car.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing replied. He held Gu Chuyan in his arms and got into the car. They lett the mountainside and headed towards the city. On the road, he kept making phone calls, looking serious. He took notes rapidly on hisptop, apparently dealing with important matters. The ride from the mountainside to the city took only half an hour! When they really arrived at the hospital, her mind was in chaos! When the car stopped, Han Changqing opened the door. Xiao Mohan hung up the phone, took off his coat, wrapped it around Gu Chuyan¡¯s body, and carried her out of the car. ¡°I can walk,¡± she said, but he didn¡¯t give her any chance! Xiao Mohan carried her inside, murmuring, ¡°Time is money.¡± She suddenly realized that with an injured foot, she was indeed much slower than him walking with a limp! The appearance of the three of them was like a magnificentndscape in the hospital. Xiao Mohan had a royal aura about him and exuded a Kingly Momentum. His upright figure was impossible to ignore. ¡°Ding.¡± The elevator arrived at Orthopedics, VIP ward, where two uniformed people stood on either side like unmoving statues. Her nervous little hand clutched his arm.. She whispered, ¡°You¡¯re not going to look for him, are you?¡± Chapter 18 - 29: Eyes Rolled Back, Passed Out Directly Chapter 18: Chapter 29: Eyes Rolled Back, Passed Out Directly Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lian Zhenzhen was already injured by the broken bowl and with Gu Miaoting¡¯s weight on her, the shards went straight into her flesh! Pain made her eyes roll back and she passed out. ¡°Snap.¡± Han Changqing turned around, opened the window, and let the cold wind blow in. Surprisingly, the heating system in the inpatient ward had temporarily stopped working! The air conditioning unit also broke down all of a sudden leaving Gu Yan shivering from the cold! ¡°Clear.¡± A single word, and then the serving staff came in and cleared everything up. Xiao Mohan stepped forward and asked her, ¡°Do you have anything else to say? Gu Chuyan shook her head. She didn¡¯t want to say a single word! Didn¡¯t want to stay for a second longer. She waspletely taken aback by Gu Yan¡¯s words ¡°having lived a casual life since childhood¡±. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He said. Taking the coat handed to him by Han Changqing, he wrapped her in it, picked her up, and strode away. Han Changqing followed him. When he reached the door, he looked back, ¡°Mr. Gu, sorry for the intrusion today!¡± He emphasized ¡°Mr. Gu¡± with great significance! Gu Yan was a seasoned man. He stared at Han Changqing and saw a cunning look in his eyes. It was clear he was no saint. ¡°Mom, Mom, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Gu Miaoting was suddenly startled, seeing Lian Zhenzhen having passed out. When she stood up, she saw a pool of blood seeping out onto the floor! ¡°Help! Someone, help!¡± She cried, but unfortunately, no one came in. Gu Yan became anxious, seeing Lian Zhenzhen copsed on the floor, bleeding, he was filled with immense heartache. ¡°Quick, call the doctor.¡± He said, pressing the call button, but unfortunately, no doctor came. ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡± Gu Miaoting panicked and stood up to go get help! Unexpectedly, something flew in through the window, hitting her ankle! Gu Miaoting, wearing 12cm high heels, lost her bnce and swayed to one side. ¡°Ah.¡± She fell heavily, spraining her ankle! ¡°Miaoting.¡± Seeing this, Gu Yan tried to get out of bed, but his foot was bound high up, unable to move! Gu Miaoting moved a bit. Although her foot hurt, she still wanted to save herself! After all, even if Lian Zhenzhen was not rescued, she had to call a doctor to check her. Her foot can¡¯t be wasted! With this thought, she crawled to the door and pulled hard. Unfortunately, the door wouldn¡¯t open. It seemed to have been locked from outside. ¡°The door is locked.¡± Gu Miaoting said. Gu Yany on the bed, although in a hurry, he kept sorting out his thoughts. His gaze fixed on the door, thoughtful. At this moment, he heard someone approaching from outside. ¡°Bang.¡± The people outside forcefully pushed the door, but since it was immovable, they had to burst it open! Gu Miaoting didn¡¯t have time to avoid it. The door swung open, and her body was thrown against the wall, hitting her head hard. She was in so much pain that her eyes rolled back, but she didn¡¯t pass out. ¡°Mr. Gu, was that you who rang the bell earlier? The hospital system was malfunctioning earlier and we couldn¡¯t make it in time, we apologize.¡± The attending physician said remorsefully. Such a coincidence? Gu Yan was puzzled. The ward was so cold it was shaking. Obviously, the cooler was turned on! ¡°Change, change the ward.¡± Gu Yan said. The doctor shook his head and said: ¡°Just now, all the wards in the hospital are upied!¡± At this moment, a junior nurse saw Lian Zhenzhen lying on the ground, saw the blood all over the floor, and was startled: ¡°Why is someone bleeding?¡± ¡°Yes, quick, save her.¡± Gu Yan said. Seeing this, the junior nurse stepped forward and helped Lian Zhenzhen up! Unfortunately, her hand that was holding Lian Zhenzhen got hit by something! Her grip loosened and Lian Zhenzhen fell heavily onto the floor, getting stabbed by the ss shards once more.. Chapter 19 - 30 The Third Master is Actually Chapter 19: Chapter 30 The Third Master is Actually Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Ah.¡± The pain woke her from her unconsciousness! Lian Zhenzhen had never dreamt that she would face such a day given the many years she had been pampered in the Gu Family. Gu Yan had always treated her like a queen, but she had not anticipated this day woulde. ¡°Mom,¡± Gu Miaoting watched the scene, feeling the pain even at a distance. The doctor stepped forward, picking up Lian Zhenzhen. Blood dripped from Lian Zhenzhen¡¯s buttocks. Those who didn¡¯t know the situation would think she was simply having a heavy period. ¡°Doctor, thank you.¡± Said Gu Yan. The doctor and a nurse carried Lian Zhenzhen and Gu Miaoting away for treatment. Then Gu Yan reached for his phone to make a call. ¡°Hello, it¡¯s me! Help me find out who that person with Gu Chuyan is! And, how are things progressing with today¡¯s incident?¡± Gu Yan said in a low voice. His secretary, who was already extremely busy, took his call. ¡°Mr. Gu, we haven¡¯t found anything yet! All the surveince cameras on the road have been destroyed! We¡¯ve had the fingerprint authenticated, and it turns out to be yours,¡± the secretary, Old Xi, said. ¡°Mine?¡± Gu Yan was taken aback, nearly choking on his own saliva. The person who attacked him had left a fingerprint. Initially, he thought they could identify the culprit with it, but the fingerprint surprisingly turned out to be his own. ¡°Yes.¡± Old Xi felt quite uneasy as he had never encountered such a strange situation. It could either be Gu Yan¡¯s own or someone too skilled in deception. ¡°Any progress on Gu Chuyan¡¯s case?¡± ¡°Nothing was found.¡± Old Xi, feeling ufortable and embarrassed, said that he had never encountered a case that he couldn¡¯t solve. It was indeed a big headache for him! ¡°Got it! You go figure out the identity of the man with her. Be sure to be discreet, don¡¯t rm him,¡± Gu Yan instructed and then hung up the phone. Considering Gu Chuyan¡¯s status, she wouldn¡¯t associate with shady characters. However, the man in question carried himself with an aristocratic aura that one couldn¡¯t underestimate. Half an hourter, Old Xi called back. ¡°Mr. Gu, we¡¯ve confirmed the man¡¯s identity!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Gu Yan anxiously asked. Old Xi was somewhat hesitant, ¡°Well, he is¡­ a small-time proprietor at a venue.¡± ¡°What?¡± Gu Yan struggled even to swallow his saliva. Nowadays, these venues were all high-end clubs. Was this man¡­ Unfortunately, Old Xi¡¯s next words shattered his conjectures. ¡°Rather, it¡¯s a pretty low-end ce with hardly any attention,¡± Old Xi felt uneasy, never expecting Gu Chuyan to mingle with such a character. ¡°And he doesn¡¯t earn much, just a few dors at a time,¡± Old Xi continued to report. Gu Yan felt too annoyed to listen and hung up the call. (The author sat in front of theputer, a smirk on his face, with a cold and contemptuous chuckle: You dare to investigate the CEO? Shameless!) After Gu Miaoting applied the medicine, she nned toe back and please Gu Yan. However, she overheard his conversation. ¡°Such a low-ss character? Heh heh, Gu Chuyan, this is your standard for life.¡± She snickered in her heart. Initially, when she faced that man, she indeed had some other thoughts! However, after hearing Gu Yan¡¯s words, she no longer had any doubts. After all, with someone as powerful as Gu Yan, it would be too easy to investigate a person! It seemed the man¡¯s watch was a knockoff! And the clothes on him must have been rented! In this era, people judge by appearances! Buddha needs a gold statue! Quite true indeed. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t be angry anymore! My mom was injured by shards of the bowl, and the doctors are removing them in the operating room! She should be fine.¡± She spoke in a low voice. Gu Yan looked at her tenderly when he heard her soft voice, ¡°That¡¯s good! You find someone to fix the air conditioner.¡¯ ¡°Okay,¡± she agreed and left.. Chapter 20 - 31 Teach Her What is Self-defense Chapter 20: Chapter 31 Teach Her What is Self-defense Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Gu Chuyan was carried away from the hospital by Xiao Mohan, which surprised her, as there was not a soul in the entire hospital! Even the streets were deserted! ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Xiao Mohan asked her after helping her into the car, seeing her in a daze. Hearing his words, her small face turned burning hot, and she absent-mindedly touched her cheek! She shrank back a little, creating some distance between them. If she leaned too close, she would always feel somewhat¡­ nervous. ¡°Nothing in particr,¡± Gu Chuyan replied, her eyes twinkling. Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand and took her small hand! He gently caressed the back of her hand, and it felt like his fingers were surging with electricity, which flowed along her skin and into her bloodstream, stirring up all her nerves. She felt like withdrawing her hand, but he firmly held onto it. His gaze deep and intense, he stared at the wound on the back of her hand! ¡°Caused by high heels?¡± He asked. Gu Chuyan listened and stopped struggling, having initially thought he was touching her hand. Little did she know, he was actually focusing on her wound, where the skin had been scraped off and bits of raw flesh were visible. ¡°Yes,¡± she admitted without denying. There was no room for saving face with such an embarrassing incident, there was no point in vehemently denying it. Turning her head in some sarcastic way, she stared at the fast receding scenery outside the window and sarcastically said, ¡°Today must¡¯ve been pretty entertaining watching my family, am I right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Xiao Mohan replied curtly. ¡°Like the one who ended up sitting on shards,¡± he added unexpectedly, unusually verbose. Only when she heard his words did she remember that Lian Zhenzhen had fallen onto a pile of broken pieces. The pain had left her unable to stand, and her distressed figure was rather pathetic. ¡°Pff.¡± Gu Chuyan couldn¡¯t help butugh. Xiao Mohan reached out and stroked her long hair, his fingertips gliding along the length of her silky hair from root to tip. Surprised and ttered, Gu Chuyan turned to look at him! ¡°From now on, never allow anyone to treat you badly,¡± Xiao Mohan said in a serious tone. He reached out and turned her towards him, looked her in the eye, and stated with a calm and firm gaze, ¡°Even if it means having to kill them, you must not let yourself be wronged.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re bullied, killing them counts as self-defense,¡± he added. Gu Chuyan looked at him, her gaze changed! His words were undoubtedly cruel, but why did her heart suddenly feel sweet upon hearing them? ¡°What do you do?¡± She asked after a moment of silence. Earlier, those two had addressed him as Mr. Xiao, and now, his words were a bit¡­ overbearing! But she was somewhat fond of his domineering manner. ¡°What kind of person do you hope I am?¡± Xiao Mohan tossed the question back at her. Gu Chuyan turned her head to the side, thought for a moment and said, ¡°As long as you¡¯re not a bad person, it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Heh,¡± Xiao Mohan suddenlyughed upon hearing this. The man looked at the sincerity and anticipation in her clear eyes, traced her hand with his fingers, and his gaze fell on her wound. ¡°Done, Mr. Xiao,¡± Han Changqing drove the car while keeping a watchful eye on his actions. Xiao Mohan¡¯s gaze was fixed on the wound on Gu Chuyan¡¯s foot, clearly signaling that Gu Miaoting would have to pay for what she did! ¡°Alright,¡± Xiao Mohan replied upon hearing Han Changqing¡¯s words. The ringtone of Han Changqing¡¯s phone went off. He picked up the call: ¡°Hello?¡± Upon hearing the voice on the other side, Han Changqing felt like he was holding a hot potato, caught in a dilemma. He turned his head somewhat awkwardly: ¡°Master Xiao, it¡¯s from home.¡± Home? The Xiao family? ¡°Don¡¯t answer.¡± Xiao Mohan said. Han Changqing held the phone out to him, seeing that Xiao Mohan didn¡¯t want to answer, he also didn¡¯t want to answer, but didn¡¯t dare to hang up. Xiao Mohan suddenly reached out, snatched the phone, and hung up. Then, he tossed it aside.. Chapter 21 - 32: Grandfather, Who is He? Chapter 21: Chapter 32: Grandfather, Who is He? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Throughout the journey, Gu Chuyan leaned against the edge of the seat and fell asleep. By the time they returned to Xiao Family Manor, it was already 5 p.m., twilight in winter, and the temperature on the mountain dropped drastically. When the car door opened, a surge of cold wind blew in. Gu Chuyan shivered from the cold, opening her eyes. ¡°I can walk myself.¡± Seeing him extend a hand towards her, she gently shook her head. Xiao Mohan lifted her out of the car and asked, ¡°Are you sure you can walk?¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± she responded. Actually, her foot had been stomped on a few times by Gu Miaoting, which hurt a bit. But, it wasn¡¯t sprained, and not as severe as he had thought. ¡°Mm.¡± As Xiao Mohan took a phone call and slowed his pace, he turned his head back asionally. He stood there in the end, as if waiting for her. Upon seeing this, Han Changqing sat in the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°What?¡± Han Changqing received a call, his face turned pale. He almost toppled off his chair, supporting himself against the steering wheel, disbelief resonating in his words, ¡°Sir, someone used you of engaging in lowly acts? Who did this?¡± If Xiao Mohan found out about this, he would definitely kill him. ¡°Understood.¡± Listening, Han Changqing looked up in resignation. He just wanted to escape now. How did he not get wind of this situation? Xiao Mohan naturally knew that Gu Yan would investigate him, but someone with his status ¡ª who could possibly discover anything about him? The Xiao family had always been mysterious. Those who dared to pry into their secrets never met good ends. However, someone had fabricated Xiao Mohan¡¯s identity as a person of low standing. This was an incredibly brazen act. ¡°Sir,¡± contemted Han Changqing as he got out of the car and approached quickly with long strides. Upon seeing him approach, Xiao Mohan moved his phone away from his ear, suggesting that Han Changqing could speak. Han Changqing leaned over and whispered something into Xiao Mohan¡¯s ear, and Xiao Mohan¡¯s handsome face suddenly looked terrible, eyes shing with coldness. ¡°Wen Shui!¡± Xiao Mohan gritted his teeth and exploded two words. Who else, besides the master of Wen¡¯ange, could manipte such matters? There¡¯s no need to investigate, he already knew who did it! ¡°Sir,¡± Han Changqing hinted and wondered what the next step should be. Looking at Gu Chuyan heading inside, Xiao Mohan fell silent for a few seconds, ¡°She¡­ probably needs a nanny.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Getting the meaning, Han Changqing left. Xiao Mohan picked up the phone again, striding to catch up with her figure, slowing his pace to match hers, the setting sun casting long slender shadows of them both. ¡°You.¡± Gu Chuyan started to speak, only to see Xiao Mohan suddenly end his call and held her hand. Hisrge palm covered her wrist, as if he was deep in thoughts. The two walked slowly back into the mansion where the front door opened automatically. ¡°Come with me,¡± he said. Gu Chuyan watched him walking upstairs. She limped behind him and noticed him entering a room, approaching cautiously. ¡°Whoosh.¡± The sound of the door made her jump. Upon entry, a warm yellow light came on, illuminating many bookshelves. The room was surprisinglyrge, almost the size of two bedrooms. An exquisite antique desk was ced in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. To the left was a ck leather sofa, and the wall area waspletely filled with bookshelves, each packed with an astonishing number of books. ¡°Click.¡± Xiao Mohan walked over and ced his hand on one side of the shelf. She saw a box popping out from a gap in the bookshelf and he quickly grabbed it. Xiao Mohan took the brocade box and walked over to her. Seeing her standing there, he motioned for her to sit on the sofa. Under the warm yellow light, Gu Chuyan was dressed in a long white sweater that reached her knees. She was wearing leggings underneath, dressed simply without affectation, which only entuated her pure, stunning beauty.. Chapter 22 - 33: Wanting a Child Chapter 22: Chapter 33: Wanting a Child Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Your right hand,¡± Xiao Mohan said. Not knowing his intentions, she still reached out her right hand. His left hand held her right hand, his hand on top, hers on the bottom. Both hands pressed towards the brocade box, she felt a vibration. With a ¡°pop¡±, the box opened on all sides, revealing a beautiful bracelet in front of her. Gu Chuyan felt a sharp pain in her fingertips as Xiao Mohan let go of her hand. When she lifted her hand, she saw a drop of blood falling onto it. Scarlet blood dripped onto the glittering, transparent bracelet. The drop of blood, gleaming like a ruby, it piqued her curiosity, so she poked it with her finger. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Gu Chuyan asked in surprise as she felt the drop of blood seemingly seep into the Jade Bracelet, its vibrancy startling. ¡°Give it a try.¡± Without further exnation, Xiao Mohan extended his hand out to retrieve the Jade Bracelet and slid it onto her right wrist. It fit perfectly. Having grown up in Gu family, despite not being the favorite, Gu Chuyan, as an official¡¯s daughter, still was discerning. The glittering, transparent bracelet, without a doubt, was top tier jade! ¡°I can¡¯t, this is too valuable,¡± she said, panicking. The moment the Jade Bracelet slid onto her wrist, a cool sensation passed through her skin. It was an oddly refreshing feeling! She tried to yank it off forcefully, but it was as if the Jade Bracelet had been embedded into her wrist and could not be taken off at all. She twisted and pulled, but it wouldn¡¯t budge. ¡°Xiao Mohan, what do I do now?¡± She held out her hand in front of him, asking timidly, ¡°Can you help me take it off?¡± Xiao Mohan reached out, held her wrist, and examined it closely. Her wrist was pale and slender, as if the Jade Bracelet was tailor-made for it! They looked perfectly in tune. ¡°It looks great,¡± the man said, looking at it with his deep, silent eyes. It was a rarepliment from him. She listened to him, dumbfounded. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t get it off! ¡°Blood Bond Bracelet.¡± Xiao Mohan said, as he stood up, walked to the side, opened a bottle of top-notch red wine, poured it into a wine ss and swirled it around. He stood in front of the bar, in a ck suit and a white shirt, looking tall and straight, one hand in his pocket, holding up the ss in the other. An intoxicating allure emanated from him. She found herself unable to take her eyes off him. ¡°Blood Bond Bracelet? Could it be because of the drop of blood just now?¡± she asked softly, her eyes glued to the Jade Bracelet on her wrist. A mixture of emotions filled her heart, especially with that red drop of blood on the bracelet which looked like a perfectly set ruby, it was incredibly eye-catching. She stood up and said softly, ¡°Does that mean it can never be taken off?¡± Gu Chuyan took a step forward, and asked, ¡°Then how can it be taken off?¡± Wearing this Jade Bracelet would attract too much attention! Unless others were ignorant, they¡¯d think she was showing off her wealth! ¡°After giving birth.¡± ¡°Giving Birth?¡± She thought she had heard him wrong. Xiao Mohan drank up his red wine and ced the ss onto the counter. He turned and looked at her, a hint of other meanings in his dark eyes, and a faint smile on his lips: ¡°If you¡¯re in a hurry, we can start right now.¡± The faint scent of the man mingled with the aroma of the wine, somewhat intoxicating. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± She backed away slightly. Her back was to the wine ss, she was leaning there, her hand against the side, watching the man slowly approaching, probably because he had had some drinks! His eyes were somewhat provoking. ¡°Then, I won¡¯t take it off..¡± She waved her hand, looking at the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, she vowed not to take it off, not even if it killed her! Chapter 23 - 34: So This is Xiao Mohan Chapter 23: Chapter 34: So This is Xiao Mohan Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Xiao Mohan held her, his hand resting to the side, his body wrapped around her. ¡°Not taking off what?¡± He raised an eyebrow, utterly puzzled. Gu Chuyan was a fujoshi, she was imagining all sorts of things not being taken off! Blushing, she pushed his chest and red at him: ¡°Xiao Mohan, scare me again! Believe it or not, I¡¯ll deal with you?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Xiao Mohan was thoughtful, his maic voice echoed: ¡°So, you thought I was scaring you? I can act on it.¡± As he spoke, his handnded on her neck, and his long, handsome fingers slowlv moved downwards.! Her heart was pounding, and she felt a bit dry in the mouth. ¡°I, I am going.¡± She stuttered in response, bending over, and escaping under his armpit! Despite her injured foot, she ran quickly. ¡°Bang.¡± She mmed the door harshly, rushed back into the bedroom, shut the door behind her, and leaned against it taking deep breaths, feeling on the verge of insanity. ¡°It scared me to death.¡± She said, still smelling of him all over her. She leaned against the door and looked out the window, night had fallen, casting a mysterious veil over the ce! She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, pushed it open, and stepped outside onto therge balcony. Standing on the balcony, she could see the distant night view! The faint light was like a morning star in the night. Inside the study, Xiao Mohan stood there, lifting his hand he squeezed his shirt cuff, his smile deepened: ¡°Women, indeed interesting.¡± Actually, he was just curious, what¡¯s the difference between men and women! Since he was little, he had a strange habit, whenever a woman touched him, Xiao Mohan would almost go crazy! He regarded women as monsters, for the past 28 years, he had been mingling just with men! Unexpectedly, touching a woman¡¯s hand felt like this, quite wonderful, pleasing to the heart. ¡°ng.¡± At this moment, he turned around, a book fell from the bookshelf in front of him, Xiao Mohan looked down, only to see it said: ¡°XX Pictures?¡± He bent down, stretched out his hand to pick up the book, and turned it casually! His fingers followed suit, and turned another page. ¡°Aqing¡¯s?¡± He tossed the book aside, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pick it up again, and scanned it casually! Han Changqing had always been nagging, asking him to get ¡°xx, pictures¡±, it turns out to be this? Xiao Mohan secretly thought, despite always believing that time is money, equivalent to life, he was actually checking out this kind of book! Xiao Mohan tossed the book aside casually, adjusted his mood, picked up hisptop, and began the next round of video conferencing. In the bedroom next door, Gu Chuyan lifted her foot, looking at the wound on it! She hopped down and went into the bathroom, after filling it with water, she climbed into the bathtub. ¡°Gu Miaoting and Lian Zhenzhen are ambitious, and my brother has gone missing again!¡± She muttered, suddenly, her mind became a little chaotic. She washed her body casually, shook her head, not letting herself think anymore. ¡°Ssh.¡± Suddenly, she stood up, reaching out for a bath towel, only to find an empty rack! In the Gu family¡¯s bathroom, bathrobes and towels were always ready, but she waspletely unfamiliar with this ce! When she came in, she didn¡¯t notice this issue, but now she looked around the bathroom to find nothing at all. ¡°Where are my clothes?¡± She turned around to look for the clothes she had just changed out of, only to find that they were gone. She squatted down for a closer look, only to see a trash bin underneath the ce where she¡¯d put her clothes, could it be that her clothes had fallen into it? She wondered.. Chapter 24 - 35: Identification, That’s a Woman Chapter 24: Chapter 35: Identification, That¡¯s a Woman Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions A piece of tissue fluttered down into the trash can, which automatically pulverized it into dust and cleared it away in an instant, leaving behind not a trace of ash. ¡°My lord! This trash can is way too advanced!¡± She was bbergasted at the sight of the bin. Astonishing! Clutching her face in her hand, she looked at herself in the mirror! Gu Chuyan stood there, tangled in conflicting emotions for a long time. Cautiously, she walked up in her slippers and slowly opened the door. She poked her head out to see a seemingly enormous room,pletely empty! ¡°Good, he¡¯s not back.¡± Gu Chuyan whispered to herself, feeling secretly relieved! The bedroom was so big that she was in the centre of the room by the time. From the balcony across there, the French windows opened and a tall figure walked in. Xiao Mohan just stood there, surprised and taken aback! Gu Chuyan stood there with droplets of water dripping off the ends of her hair. The chilling wind blew in from the outside waking her from her shock. ¡°What happened?¡± Xiao Mohan stepped inside, sensing the awkward atmosphere as he took a serious look around him. What he didn¡¯t expect was her tall figure shing before his eyes. What he was even less prepared and ready for was¡­. Xiao Mohan nced towards the bathroom, noticed the trash bin and seems to understand the situation. He was a man obsessed with cleanliness and thus naturally his house had to be spotless! Except that the balconies of the study and the bedroom were connected, hence, he walked in from there. ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± He spoke in a deep voice, walked up, stretched out to grab a quilt, draped it over her, embraced and bundled her up! ¡°My clothes fell into the trash can.¡± Gu Chuyan felt embarrassed and wanted to exin, fearing he might misunderstand. ¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Mohan replied, seemingly not surprised. She carefully looked at him. His expression was serious, and there was none of the sleazy looks she was afraid of, his gaze deep and void of distraction. Just as Gu Chuyan was fretting, he straightened up and walked into the bathroom. The sound of water rushing brought her back to reality! Half an hourter, he emerged in a ck silky robe, his short ck hair wet and water dripping down his handsome face. ¡°You¡¯re¡­also sleeping here?¡± She nervously gripped the quilt as she questioned him. ¡°There is only one bed.¡± Xiao Mohan mentioned. Gu Chuyan was taken aback. She hadn¡¯t seen the other rooms but the house was sorge, there must be plenty! But there was only one bed? This¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t entertain guests at home.¡± Xiao Mohan was suggesting something. No guests, so no need for extra beds! Only one bed was enough. Currently, she was upying his bed. No wonder there seemed to be his scent on it, although it was very faint. ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll sleep on the couch tonight.¡± She slowly shuffled, but he had wrapped her up so tightly in the quilt earlier. He walked to the wardrobe, opened it, took out a set of casual sportswear, and passed it to her,¡±Aqing is busy, he¡¯ll bring some clothes over early tomorrow morning.¡± He spoke, leaving the clothes beside her before turning away. Watching his retreating figure, Gu Chuyan struggled for a while before finally throwing off the quilt and reaching out to grab the grey sportswear! ¡°800,000?¡± She eyed the tag, after counting the zeros her hand began to tremble. Oh my lord! Gu Chuyan, you¡¯ve scored a sugar daddy? After putting on the clothes, Gu Chuyan realized that the top alone was long enough to reach her thighs! Was he that much taller than her? After putting on the pants, she crawled into bed, pretending to be asleep. ¡°Iya.¡± At that moment, she heard the door being pushed open. Xiao Mohan walked in and saw her apparently asleep on the bed, except for the constant blinking of her eyshes! He pursed his mouth as he looked at her lying on the bed, her wet hair dripping onto the pillow.. Chapter 25 - 36 Take a break early Chapter 25: Chapter 36 Take a break early Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He picked up a towel to wrap her hair, held it until a few minutester, then set it aside. ¡°Go to bed early,¡± he said, reaching out to turn off the light. He dimmed the bedsidemp. Hearing him leaving, she rolled over and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Didn¡¯t he say there was only one bed? Was he leaving? ¡°I have things to do, I¡¯ll sleep in the study,¡± he replied, closing the door behind him and leaving her with his tall silhouette. Lying in bed, she lifted her hand and looked at the wound on the back of her hand. It seemed to retain the warmth left by a man¡¯s fingertips. She touched it, then quickly pinched herself. ¡°Gu Chuyan, can¡¯t you get a grip? He¡¯s handsome, but that doesn¡¯t mean you have to fantasize about him!¡± she muttered to herself. Her surroundings calmed her down and she was soon asleep. She vaguely felt someone approach her. The person stood at the edge of the bed, looked at her for a long time, picked up the quilt to cover her body, brushed away the strands of hair on her face, turned off the bedsidemp and then left. In the early morning, Gu Chuyan turned over and one leg slipped off the bed, jolting her awake. She quickly pulled her leg back. ¡°Hmm.¡± She grunted, lying on the bed, and opened her eyes. There were many bags at the table not far from the bed. Looking up at the time, she suddenly sat upright, ¡°I need to go to school today.¡± She sat up and noticed that she was still dressed in the tracksuit. Looking around the bed, there were no traces of anyone else aside from her. She walked over to the desk and saw those bags, all specialty Chanel bags! There must have been about ten sets, along with some coats and shoes ¨C the quantity was astonishing, like it was enough tost her for ten years. ¡°Bang.¡± Her cheeks flushed slightly as she imagined numerous scenarios, startling herself and causing her to subconsciously shrink back from the table. Why was she getting so lost in her thoughts recently? With an embarrassed touch to her face, she picked out a casual outfit, put on a ck coat, put on short boots, and walked out. ¡°Madam,¡± Han Changqing, who was waiting outside the door, greeted her respectfully. His sudden appearance startled her! ¡°Han Changqing, why are you here?¡± she asked. Han Changqing did not exin why he had been waiting for her for an hour. As per Xiao Mohan¡¯s orders, he was not to disturb her, and thus, he had waited until now. ¡°I¡¯m here to take you to school,¡± Han Changqing said. Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan quickly waved her hands, ¡°No need! I can go by myself. ¡± Han Changqing was handsome, tall and perfect! He moved gracefully and spoke appropriately! If such a man appeared with her, it would indeed stir up rumors. ¡°You can¡¯t catch a cab here,¡± he reminded her. They were halfway up the hill, and no unfamiliar vehicles were allowed to approach the base. It would take at least two hours to walk down. ¡°In that case, thank you,¡± she acknowledged his reasoning. Han Changqing drove a Ferrari, and they headed towards the city. Forty minutester, they parked near her school. ¡°Madam, do you n to live on campus?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always lived on campus,¡± Gu Chuyan replied. She rarely returned to the Gu family home, and perhaps Gu Yan wanted her to stay on campus to avoid disturbing their family of three. ¡°Hmm.¡± Han Changqing was silent. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. As Gu Chuyan was about to leave, Han Changqing handed her something, ¡°Madam, the password is your birthday.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t spend money,¡± she said, ncing at the ck card. The gold-ted ck card was limited edition, even Gu Yan wasn¡¯t qualified to have it. Han Changqing took her hand and thrust the card into it, ¡°If you need anything, please give me a call..¡± Chapter 26 - 37: Getting on the Car Chapter 26: Chapter 37: Getting on the Car Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He spoke and sat in the car, driving away in his sports car. The fallen leaves on the ground were lifted by the wind, floating in mid-air, conveying a sense of loneliness. ¡°Do I even have his number?¡± She wondered, casually flipping through her phone, only to be surprised. In her contact list, the first two names were I-Xiao Mohan and 2-Han Changqing. Dragging her aching foot, she took small steps forward. Underneath the sign of ¡°S city Art College¡±, many young men and women dressed in bright, attractive clothes came and went. There were even more peopleing and going in luxurious cars. And as always, Gu Chuyan preferred to keep a low profile. ¡°Gu Chuyan, why are you just arriving now? Today is Professor Li¡¯s ss; if you¡¯rete, you¡¯re in for it.¡± Suddenly, a woman, striding over swiftly, took her by the arm and led her inside. ¡°Yao Rong, slow down! My foot hurts.¡± Gu Chuyan said. Being dragged by the short-haired girl, she couldn¡¯t keep up and stumbled to the ground. Falling onto her knees, she let out a soft moan from the pain. ¡°What happened?¡± Seeing this, Yao Rong quickly came back to help her up and asked worriedly. Yao Rong, with a standard melon-seed face framed by her shoulder bob cut, her lips slightly thick, radiated an indescribable sensuality. ¡°I¡¯m just a little hurt, it¡¯s nothing! Let¡¯s go,¡± she said, not wanting to talk about it. Yao Rong was her best friend. Because of school break, Yao Rong had taken a special trip abroad and was therefore unaware of Gu Chuyan¡¯s situation. As Gu Chuyan was not one toin, she naturally did not bring it up. ¡°Crash.¡± No sooner had Gu Chuyan and Yao Rong walked inside than something was thrown,nding on Gu Chuyan. A woman with a cigarette in her mouth walked up to her, took a drag, and blew smoke in her face. ¡°Just a week¡¯s vacation, and look what we find. Gu Chuyan, didn¡¯t think you, pretending to be so pure, would let yourself be kept by someone.¡± ¡°Come on, tell your fellow students about the scandalous things you¡¯ve done,¡± the woman¡¯s voice was harsh, as if she hade prepared. ¡°Xie Tianli, enough!¡± Seeing this, Yao Rong rushed forward to push her away. But Xie Tianli had been prepared, and she pped Yao Rong in return. ¡°Yao Rong, mind your business! You¡¯re best friends, I bet you¡¯re no cleaner.¡± The whole ssroom fell eerily silent in an instant. Everyone was enjoying the spectacle, particrly Xie Tianli! With her influential background and street-wise attitude, no one dared to cross her, not to mention her boyfriend was rich. Two police officers entered the room and nced at the principal. ¡°Gu Chuyan is implicated in an assault case. We would like to take her in for questioning, ¡± they announced. Clearly, this incident was not as straightforward as it seemed. ¡°Officers, we have some matters to resolve first! Taking a student from school might not be appropriate. Ms. Gu Chuyan is already in the process of withdrawal. Perhaps, you could wait outside?¡± The principal had already made up his mind. ¡°Alright,¡± the police replied, not insisting on taking her in immediately. A couple of professors wanted to speak up for her but were held back by others. ¡°Principal, you¡¯re expelling me without even knowing the whole story? Aren¡¯t you even going to ask what happened?¡± Gu Chuyan sounded bitter. ¡°You attacked someone, the entire ss witnessed it. We have a letter ofint,¡± The principal responded, epting aint letter handed over by his secretary. Everyone had signed it, except for Yao Rong. ¡°Heh,¡± she suddenlyughed, augh filled with desperation. So, no matter if it was the Gu Family or the school, the hypocrisy of these people¡­. they were all the same! Chapter 27 - 38: The Procedures are Completed Chapter 27: Chapter 38: The Procedures are Completed Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Principal, the procedures have beenpleted.¡± The secretaryes forward with the expulsion paperwork and hands it to the principal. The principal personally hands the pen to Gu Chuyan, saying, ¡°Sign it! From now on, you are no longer a student of this school.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t sign! Why should I sign?¡± Gu Chuyan snatches the contract out of his hands and rips it with force, throwing it towards the principal. She res fiercely at the faces of the others before she turns around and runs out. ¡°Gu Chuyan, you are shameless! Having a student like you embarrasses me.¡± At this point, Professor Li steps forward and scolds her. Gu Chuyan halts and leaves without looking back. As she runs out, a rain begins to fall. Gu Chuyan recklessly runs out, feeling the weight of the gazes around her, as if they wanted to tear her apart. ¡°It must be a conspiracy, it must be,¡± she whispers to herself. She can¡¯t believe that such a minor incident could get her expelled. The rain hits her, somehow making her even more calm! As she stands up to leave, she suddenly hears a familiar voice and stops in her tracks. ¡°It was me! I¡¯ve given the money to the principal already! He¡¯s promised to expel Gu Chuyan.¡± ¡°Professor Li is my uncle! He adores me the most. Seeing me being hit, I yed a little trick and knelt in front of him! As soon as he saw it, he would certainly report her to the principal! Even if the principal were kind, she would certainly be expelled.¡± Xie Tianli is seen leaning against a wall with an umbre, leisurely making a call. Obviously, someone directed her to do this. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! No one else will know about this. Don¡¯t you trust me?¡± Xie Tianli says. Gu Chuyan walks over and takes her phone, but the other party has already hung up. ¡°Who told you to do this?¡± Gu Chuyan goes up to her, gripping her arm, and asks coldly. Xie Tianli sees her approaching and panics. The phone is flung into a water gutter. The water in the gutter is a bit deep and the phone is submerged. ¡°Speak, who told you to set me up!¡± Gu Chuyan questions in a deep voice. ¡°Gu Chuyan, what are you talking about? Who¡¯s harming you? You only have yourself to me for not conducting yourself properly,¡± Xie Tianli forcefully shakes off her hold and forces Gu Chuyan down, picking up a brick ready to hit her. ¡°Stop.¡± Gu Chuyan raises her hand, blocking the brick! She counterattacks by gripping her arm and throwing her to the ground. Xie Tianli didn¡¯t expect her strength to be so great and finds herself pinned underneath Gu Chuyan as the rain continues to fall. Gu Chuyan, holding Xie Tianli down, asks coldly, ¡°Tell me, who exactly is it, or believe it or not, I will take you down with me?¡± Xie Tianli struggles, her eyes rolling back into her head. ¡°I¡¯ll say, I¡¯ll say, she is, she is¡­¡± She goes on. Gu Chuyan listens but she can¡¯t understand what she¡¯s saying and moves closer to hear clearer. Suddenly, Xie Tianli counterattacks, throwing her onto the ground and grabbing a brick aiming to hit her head. Gu Chuyan rolls to the side and grips her wrist, causing Xie Tianli to scream and drop the brick, whichnds on her, leaving her breathless. ¡°Speak!¡± Gu Chuyan is furious, not understanding who is constantly against her. Did she look easy to bully? ¡°Gu Chuyan, what are you doing?¡± At this point, the voice of Professor Li can be heard. When Gu Chuyan hears this, she turns around but is forcefully pushed by Xie Tianli as Professor Li intends to reprimand her. Gu Chuyan counterattacks, grabbing Xie Tianli¡¯s leg and dragging her to one side. ¡°So your uncle is a professor? He¡¯s just a professor, right?¡± she states and backhands her. She forcefully holds her head down and yanks her hair.. Chapter 28 - 40: Arrival of the Male God Chapter 28: Chapter 40: Arrival of the Male God Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Uncle, kill her! Kill her, nobody will know about it anyway.¡± Xie Tianli cried, hoping Professor Li woulde to her rescue. Thinking of how beautiful Gu Chuyan was, she felt aggrieved. Why should Gu Chuyan lead such a good life? This is how women¡¯s minds work, they don¡¯t like being overshadowed by others. In the M Group headquarters, in the president¡¯s office. Xiao Mohan sat in the luxurious office, on an intricately carved chair. He held a document in his hand, his brows furrowed, thin lips tightly pressed into a fine line. He reached out to grip the coffee cup, but his hand identally hit the cup. The coffee spilled across the desk! With a ¡°bang,¡± the cup fell and shattered on the floor. Xiao Mohan¡¯s brows furrowed even tighter as he looked at the stained documents, lost in thought. ¡°Master, what happened?¡± Hearing the noise, Han Changqing pushed open the office door and walked in quickly. He saw the stained document and the broken cup! Xiao Mohan grabbed a tissue and began to wipe the document. Once Han Changqing finished picking up the shattered pieces, he said, ¡°Master, I¡¯ll make you another cup.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Xiao Mohan lifted his wrist and looked at his watch; it was already eleven o¡¯clock! The rain outside the window seemed to have no intention of stopping. ¡°What time will he arrive?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. ¡°Master, probably at twelve o¡¯clock.¡± Han Changqing answered. Xiao Mohan rose from his chair, reached for his overcoat, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go ahead.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing didn¡¯t understand why he wanted to leave early, but he knew better than to question Xiao Mohan¡¯s decision. After they got into the car, Han Changqing drove the extended Rolls-Royce on the highway of S City. Sitting in the back seat, Xiao Mohan stared out of the window at the rain, looking somewhat restless. He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. ¡°Master, are you not feeling well? Do you need to rest?¡± Han Changqing, who was driving, saw his movements in the rearview mirror and immediately asked with concern. ¡°No need.¡± , Xiao Mohan answered. The luxurious Rolls-Royce drove through the rain, sshing water. Xiao Mohan looked at the raindrops on the window. He leaned back on the car seat when he suddenly saw the words ¡°S City Art Academy.¡± ¡°Stop!¡± ¡°Screech.¡± Han Changqing immediately hit the brakes and turned back to ask, ¡°Master, what are your orders?¡± Xiao Mohan looked to the right, his fingertips tapping twice on the armrest. ¡°Is she in school?¡± ¡°Yes! I personally sent the mistress to school in the morning.¡± Han Changqing answered. Xiao Mohan lifted his wrist, looked at the time, and picked up his mobile phone. He dialed her number, but it was switched off! ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Xiao Mohan said. The education in the Xiao Family had always been independent. They would have special professors to teach them. Xiao Mohan achieved his double doctorate degrees and mastered eight foreignnguages at the age of fifteen! But he had never set foot in a school before. He suddenly wanted to see what it was like for her to go to school. The man stepped into the campus, looking at the environment and the peopleing and going, he frowned. There were too many people and it was too mixed, not as good as he had imagined. ¡°Yes.¡± The luxurious Rolls-Royce drove straight in and stopped in front of the teaching building. Some students, witnessing the scene, gathered not far away to watch. ¡°Master, please.¡± Han Changqing opened an umbre and walked around the car to open the door. Xiao Mohan extended his long legs and gracefully got out of the car. Han Changqing held the umbre over him and walked briskly beside him. Under Han Changqing¡¯s direction, he headed for the third floor. ¡°Please, please¡­¡± The professor was in the middle of a lecture and wanted to inquire about whom he was looking for.. Chapter 29 - 41: Smash the School for Me Chapter 29: Chapter 41: Smash the School for Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Unexpectedly, Xiao Mohan rushed in, he nced around but didn¡¯t spot Gu Chuyan. He furrowed his eyebrows. Had she gone home? ¡°Where is Gu Chuyan?¡± He turned around, staring coldly at the professor and asked in a deep voice. ¡°Gu, Gu Chuyan?¡± The professor stammered out, quite startled! Just looking at the man¡¯s attire, his manner exuding wealth! His aura was so powerful that it made it difficult for people to look directly at him. He must be from a wealthy family. ¡°She, she dropped out this morning.¡± The professor said. Xiao Mohan¡¯s eyes turned icy. Han Changqing stepped forward, grabbed the professor and shook him, asking coldly: ¡°Dropped out? Exin clearly.¡± ¡°Yes, she doesn¡¯t want to study anymore.¡± ¡°Get the principal to see me.¡± Xiao Mohan clearly didn¡¯t believe it. He had only just met Gu Chuyan a few days ago, but he knew her well enough to understand that she would never quit her studies on her own. He owed it to him to investigate what had happened at this school. ¡°Yes.¡± With a phone call from Han Changqing, the principal rushed in, dashing through the rain without an umbre, with many professors trailing behind. ¡°May I know who you are?¡± ¡°I want to see Gu Chuyan.¡± Xiao Mohan said coldly. Xiao Mohan stood there, slightly turning his body, his steps slightly heavy, utterlyposed and dignified, his deep, chiseled features exuding dissatisfaction, his lips slightly parted: ¡°Where is Gu Chuyan?¡± ¡°She, she dropped out.¡± The principal replied, his legs shaking in fear. Seeing this, Han Changqing rushed up, grabbed him by the cor, ¡°Why did she drop out?¡± ¡°She was expelled.¡± Someone from the crowd replied. ¡°Expelled?¡± Han Changqing threw the principal to the ground, lifted his foot and stomped down, ¡°Tell me why she was expelled, where is she?!¡± ¡°Oops.¡± Pressed heavily under his foot, the principal struggled to exhale and, trying to speak, unwittingly let out a belch, making the awkwardness in the air a notch higher. ¡°Aqing, destroy this school.¡± Xiao Mohan was clearly enraged. His woman went to school only to be expelled? A clear p in the face to his Xiao family. If he didn¡¯t deal with these scum, he might as well write his name, Xiao Mohan, backwards! Xiao Mohan¡¯s phone was connected to the surveince system of the Xiao Family mansion. He had checked, she hadn¡¯t returned home! There was no sign of her on any of the surveince cameras along the way, which indicated that she must still be on campus. ¡°What you¡¯re doing is against thew,¡± one of the professors said. Han Changqing turned his head around and punched him in the face! The professor was hit, a tooth flying out, Han Changqing stared coldly, ¡°None of your business.¡± ¡°Aqing, carry out a grid search.¡± Xiao Mohan ordered in a low voice. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing obediently followed, turning to make a phone call. The entire school was in a state of chaos. It was unclear what was happening, but suddenly numerous bodyguards in ck rushed in and sealed off the entire campus. ¡°Search, she must be found.¡± Xiao Mohan said. ¡°Sir, your umbre.¡± Han Changqing hurriedly followed after Xiao Mohan who was walking away in the rain. Xiao Mohan stopped in his tracks, looking back at him, ¡°Keep an eye on him, if anything happens to her, cripple him!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing understood that his master was furious. Gu Chuyan had dropped out unexpectedly. Moreover, her traces were absent on all the surveince footage, implying she was still in the school! As the principal was in charge of the school, he needed to bear full responsibility for the entire incident. The entire student body was isted, they had no idea what was happening! Everyone was ¡°invited¡± for questioning but no trace of her was found. For the first time, Han Changqing saw Xiao Mohan in such a state of panic.. Like a lion out of control, he rushed to every corner of the school! Chapter 30 - 42: So Thrilling to Self Defence Chapter 30: Chapter 42: So Thrilling to Self Defence Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Gu Chuyan.¡± Xiao Mohan panicked, running toward the grove. Han Changqing also stopped. He saw Gu Chuyan forcing Xie Tianli on the ground, making her drink the water on the ground. Professor Li, seeing this, rushed over, reached out to pick her up, his hand ready to swing. ¡°Bang.¡± Xiao Mohan rushed forward, kicking Professor Li and sending him flying into a tree. Han Changqing swiftly stepped forward, forcefully pressing him to the ground. ¡°You dare to touch my wife?¡± Han Changqing forcefully twisted, the professor screamed in pain as his wrist was effortlessly twisted and broken. His eyes rolled back and he fainted. Seeing this, the principal was frightened. He had seen all kinds of situations, but these people were too arrogant, tantly disregarding them. ¡°Anyone who touches her, I¡­¡± Xiao Mohan wanted to say he would deal with them all, but a nce at Gu Chuyan, changed his mind. If others bullied her, those people should be dealt with by her! Otherwise, she would never ovee this hurdle. (Cough, the author snickered: Third Master! It¡¯s your woman who¡¯s beating people, okay? Third Master Xiao yelled: My woman, why the hell is it your business? Shut up.) ¡°Smash this ce.¡± His voice became hoarse, his eyes were bloodthirsty, filled with bloodshot, emitting a chilling aura. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing responded. ¡°Get Wen Shui over here.¡± Xiao Mohanmanded. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing obeyed without hesitation. Xiao Mohan held her and walked out, strode off like a champion! He kicked out, knocking out Xie Tianli. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, let¡¯s go home.¡± Xiao Mohan picked her up, striding forward. Gu Chuyany in his arms, smiled with a grin, ¡°Xiao Mohan, so this is the kind of self-defense you spoke of.¡± Xiao Mohan watched herughing, his brows furrowed, this matter! Absolutely cannot be treated like this! The whole school was plunged into darkness! As if waiting for the verdict of the death god, the school authorities were even more uneasy! ¡°Xiao Mohan.¡± Gu Chuyan moved, her small hand clung tightly around his neck, her body pressed against him, listening to his powerful heartbeat. The anxiety and indignation in her heart seemed to dissipate in his arms. It was very safe in his embrace, she felt that as long as he was there, she didn¡¯t need to worry! She didn¡¯t have to do anything, just lean onto him, everything would get better. She burrowed deeper into his arms, clutching his clothes, unwilling to let go! Xiao Mohan¡¯s dark eyes narrowed, emitting a chill, looking at her sopping wet clothes. Xiao Mohan¡¯s hand, somewhat trembling, he took off his coat to wrap her body! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I waste.¡± ¡°Xiao Mohan, every time I think of you, you always appear! Will you never leave in the future?¡± Her voice was hoarse and very small, like a kitten¡¯s murmur. ¡°Hmm, I won¡¯t leave.¡± Gu Chuyan chuckled in his arms, listening to the man¡¯s strong heartbeat, she had never felt so happy before! Turns out, someone really did care for her. Leaning into Xiao Mohan¡¯s arms, she held on tight! Her clothes were utterly wet, but she didn¡¯t feel cold in his arms! ¡°You¡­you¡¯re so good.¡± She whispered, her small hand clutching his, reluctant to let go! His scent was intoxicating. In his arms, she became unconscious due to prolonged exposure to the winter rain. The car went halfway up the hill, Xiao Mohan held her and ran toward the house! ¡°Ssh.¡± He kicked open the door, held her as he dashed into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with hot water, and thenid her in it.. Chapter 31 - 43 Xiao Mohan, You Actually Chapter 31: Chapter 43 Xiao Mohan, You Actually Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Gu Chuyan, wake up.¡± He called out in a deep voice, but she was unconscious, unresponsive to him. Seeing this, Xiao Mohan pped her face. Gu Chuyan¡¯s body went limp in the water, as if she were about to die. ¡°Sheesh.¡± Xiao Mohan was inexplicably startled. On her pale back emerged a phoenix¡­ The phoenix seemed as though it was branded inside her body, trying to break free. ¡°How can this be?¡± Xiao Mohan couldn¡¯t believe it, he reached out to touch it, but found that it was ephemeral, disappearing in a blink of an eye! If he hadn¡¯t been sure he had seen it, he would have thought his eyes were ying tricks on him. ¡°So, it really is you.¡± Xiao Mohan stared at her intently. Gu Chuyan, Gu Chuyan! It was really you all along. He thought it was all just a legend, but after a bitter wait of 28 years, it was really her! So, this person really does exist! After washing her hair, he got a robe, wiped her body clean, and carried her back to the room. ¡°Master, I brought him here.¡± Han Changqing came in with Wen Shui in his arms, intending to put him down, but Wen Shui held onto his neck and refused to let go. A man of 180cm in height carried in the arms of Han Changqing, this scene was witnessed by many. ¡°Get down.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Wen Shui held onto him tightly. Hearing the two¡¯s voices, Xiao Mohan turned around, and forcefuly pushed Wen Shui down. ¡°Ouch.¡± He fell onto the ground, clutching his buttocks in pain, noticing Xiao Mohan drenched, his hair disheveled, and his eyes red and bloodshot! ¡°Cough cough, has the Xiao Family gone bankrupt? Did they make you a beggar?¡± Wen Shui, scared, got up and stared at Xiao Mohan! Xiao Mohan reached out his hand, dragged him to the bedside and threw him over there: ¡°Cure her immediately! ¡± ¡°Xiao Mohan, are you seriou? She¡¯s covered in injuries, that¡¯s too much.¡± Wen Shui nced at Gu Chuyan, deeply startled. Isn¡¯t Xiao Mohan uninterested in women, behaving like a gay man? ¡°If she dies, you¡¯ll be buried with her.¡± Xiao Mohan ground his teeth as he spoke. Hearing this, Wen Shui¡¯s face turned pale! Xiao Mohan meant what he said! He had been beaten by Xiao Mohan from a young age! ¡°Look.¡± He said, sat to the side, and took her pulse. As he was about to lift the nket¡­ Xiao Mohan walked up, and grabbed his hand! ¡°Don¡¯t look.¡± said Xiao Mohan in a deep voice. . Seeing this, Wen Shui stood up and said: ¡°She has a serious head injury, I will apply some medicine first! I guess she has some old injuries on her body, long soaking in water can cause infection, leading to persistent high fever!¡± ¡°The point.¡± Xiao Mohan was getting irritated hearing all this. Seeing his anxiety, Wen Shui flirted with Han Changqing and resumed his serious talk: ¡°Her body soaked in cold water is damaged! There may be long-term effects, so I need to prescribe her some medication for continuous use.¡± With that, he turned and left! Gu Chuyan had a persistent high fever of 40 degrees! ¡°Master.¡± At this moment, Han Changqing pushed the door and came in. ¡°Um.¡± Xiao Mohan came back to himself. Han Changqing stood there respectfully and lowered his voice: ¡°The principal has expelled Madame because the Xie Family gave him a sum of money and also due to Professor Li¡¯s instigation!¡± ¡°The point is, Madame¡¯s ssmate! Is from the Xie Family, should we deal with her?¡± Han Changqing said. ¡°Let¡¯s keep her here for now..¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice, since she dared to bully Gu Chuyan, then! This woman, he would leave to her! Chapter 32 - 32: How Much is Chapter 44 Worth? Chapter 32: How Much is Chapter 44 Worth? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Yes.¡± Although Han Changqing didn¡¯t know his intentions, if Xiao Mohan said to keep her, he must have his reasons! He believed that Xiao Mohan would not let her go so easily. ¡°How much does the damaged building at the school cost?¡± Xiao Mohan asked a seemingly irrelevant question. Surprisingly, Han Changqing raised his head to look at him before answering, ¡°Approximately 50 million.¡± ¡°Find an excuse to make Gu Yan clean up the mess.¡± Hearing his master¡¯s words, Han Changqing was somewhat taken aback! Xiao Mohan¡¯s mess might be difficult for Gu Yan, who just took up the position, to handle. However, it seemed unreasonable for him not to take care of such a big issue. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing obeyed. ¡°Handle these matters! Additionally, do not let her know about this.¡± Xiao Mohan directed. There are things better left unknown! ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing responded, and left. Throughout the long night, Xiao Mohan had hisputer on, but he was absent-minded, asionally reaching out to touch her head! When he was about to leave, he suddenly smelled something in the air! He turned back to the bedside, lifted the quilt, only to see her white pajamas being stained red¡­ ¡°She¡¯s bleeding?¡± Seeing this, Xiao Mohan turned to leave the room, nning to call for Wen Shui! Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, and came back! He reached out to touch her forehead, finding that her fever hadn¡¯t subsided. How could she suddenly start bleeding? Outside the door, Wen Shui, who had just woken up, was about to enter with his messy short hair, when he saw Xiao Mohan turning around to give him a nce! Wen Shui lifted his foot but didn¡¯t dare to step forward and eventually, pulled it back. ¡°Coward!¡± Wen Shui berated himself. He had always been scared of Xiao Mohan since childhood, yet he enjoyed following him around! ¡°Can a woman have bleeding in her lower body due to high fever?¡± ¡°What kind of bleeding?¡± Upon hearing this, Wen Shui stepped back outside, maintaining a distance from Xiao Mohan. Hearing this, Xiao Mohan¡¯s handsome face showed dissatisfaction: ¡°Less nonsense, reasons.¡± ¡°There are two possibilities for bleeding, either a miscarriage or menstruation.¡± Wen Shui, yawning, turned to go back to sleep. Just as he was turning around, as if he had thought of something, he jumped back. ¡°You, you¡¯re not¡­¡± Wen Shui¡¯s imaginations ran wild! He asked with a mix of curiosity and fear. ¡°Master, master.¡± After finishing up, Han Changqing saw him rushing out like the wind! Standing in the night, he watched the departing car, ¡°Could there be something more urgent than meeting that person?¡± The night, at a high-end club in city S! In a room, the light was dim. In therge private room, one man was sitting quietly in an inconspicuous corner, another stood by his side. ¡°Mr. ck, you¡¯ve been waiting for a full ten hours!¡± Said the secretary softly, reminding him. The man remained in his posture, taking a sip of tea after hearing the secretary: ¡°Ten hours?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The man stood up and strode toward the panoramic window, watching the neon lights of city S, drawing the entire city into a mysterious world. ¡°Xiao Mohan, made me wait for ten hours.¡± The man said coldly. The secretary approached him, saying respectfully, ¡°Mr. ck, you should leave.¡± ¡°I should go.¡± The man murmured, crushed the teacup in his hand. It shattered in his palm, cutting his palm. ¡°Mr. ck, you¡¯re hurt! I¡¯ll find a doctor.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s a minor scratch.¡± The man opened his palm, and fragments of the teacup fell out. He looked at the fresh cut on his palm. ¡°What are ten hours? The Xiao family¡­can¡¯t afford to offend them for now!¡± The man murmured, turning around to leave.. Chapter 33 - 45: Caught in the Act of Wrongdoing Chapter 33: Chapter 45: Caught in the Act of Wrongdoing Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The secretary listened in extreme surprise, thinking he must have misheard. Mr. ck, a legendary figure indeed! Yet, he dares not provoke Xiao San Ye? Furthermore, this was the first time someone dared to stand Mr. ck up even making him wait for a full ten hours. Midway up the hill, the Xiao Family Pavilion. Xiao Mohan carried a bag and rushed upstairs, mming the door shut with a bang. He returned to his room, began studying a map, and then picked her up. ¡°Hiss.¡± Xiao Mohan frowned deeply. He could never have dreamt that his life woulde to this. A trivial matter had somehow upied him for half an hour! Xiao Mohan turned around and strode into the bathroom to take a cold shower. ¡°Hello.¡± His phone rang at this moment. Xiao Mohan walked over to answer, ¡°Understood.¡± He hung up the phone and went to hisputer. He reached out, opened it up, and looked at an email. His finger slid over to another email, and he replied with one word: ¡°Approved.¡± In the early morning, when Xiao Mohan woke, he suddenly thought of what the salesperson had said at the supermarket the night before: change every four hours. It was already six o¡¯clock. ¡°Gu Chuyan, I¡­¡± he began, a bit embarrassed. Although he considered himself a gentleman, he felt somewhat guilty. ¡°Xiao Mohan.¡± Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded from the bedroom; hoarse but not male. His hand froze, and he felt apprehended as if caught in mischief! Xiao Mohan raised his head and locked eyes with her clear apricot orbs. His heart skipped a beat, his face was inexplicably flushed, he quickly averted his gaze. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Xiao Mohan said, like a schoolboy caught in mischief. He stood there, trying to find a ce to rest his hands, extremely embarrassed. Gu Chuyan just looked at him, silent, and watched him quiet and detached. ¡°Fever subsided? I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡± Xiao Mohan reached out and touched her forehead, embarrassed. Now, he felt the need to escape from this awkwardness! Even though he was fearless against anything, yet at this moment, he felt guilty and embarrassed! Without waiting for her to speak, he turned around and strode away. Watching him walk away, Gu Chuyan tried to rise with great effort and headed towards the bathroom. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s that time of the month?¡± She went to the restroom and discovered. Just now she had initially misunderstood, but soon realized what was happening. Gu Chuyan¡¯s face turned red. Thinking about this, she momentarily lost focus, unbnced, she fell to the floor. ¡°Ah.¡± She fell on the floor, tumbling down! Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Mohan pushed open the bathroom door and rushed in. Seeing her fallen, he quickly lifted her up and carried her out. Wen Shui stood there, turning his head around, his gaze lingering on the two in deep meaning. ¡°Ahem. I wanted to check on how her fever was doing.¡± He said, walked in, without revealing their secret, was just slightly embarrassed. Gu Chuyan had some porridge and was lying on the bed; she was thirsty and tried to reach for a ss of water, but her hand couldn¡¯t gather the strength to lift it. ¡°ng¡± The cup fell to the floor. Hearing the noise, Xiao Mohan turned his head and saw her staring at her hand, lost in thought. ¡°How are you?¡± He walked over, thinking she had injured her hand. He cradled it and checked but found no burns, only old wounds. She looked at her own hand, asked bitterly, ¡°Xiao Mohan, is my hand finished?¡± Why was she incapable of exerting any strength? As if¡­she couldn¡¯t grasp anything firmly. ¡°No.¡± He wouldn¡¯t allow such a thing to happen.. Chapter 34 - 46 Can You Help Me? Chapter 34: Chapter 46 Can You Help Me? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At that moment, her phone rang. Listening to the ringtone, she felt her thoughts were drifting afar! She hadn¡¯t mentioned anything about yesterday¡¯s incident to Xiao Mohan, but she was firm within her heart. This matter, she wouldn¡¯t let it slide! A gentleman¡¯s revenge, is not toote even after ten years! How these people treated her, someday, she, Gu Chuyan, would surely repay them tenfold. ¡°Hello,¡± she answered, pressing the speakerphone button. ¡°Is this Ms. Gu Chuyan?¡± ¡°Yes, it is.¡± The other side seemed very anxious, gripping the phone, they said, ¡°Ms. Gu Chuyan, on behalf of the school, I apologize to you! Yesterday¡¯s incident was all a misunderstanding! Considering the injuries you suffered at school, the school has decided to give you an extended leave and wee you to attend sses at any time. If you need to rest, simplye back for the final examination! ¡± ¡°Okay,¡± she replied simply. She didn¡¯t seem overly surprised, as if yesterday¡¯s panic-stricken person was not her. ¡°Take care of yourself¡­..¡± The other party was saying a lot of courteous words, but Gu Chuyan turned her head and stopped listening. Misunderstanding? She was assaulted, yet she had topensate Xie Tianli with 700,000 yuan for medical expenses? The principal forcibly expelled her, and Xie Tianli¡¯s threatening phone call was evident¡­. ¡°Can you help me?¡± asked Gu Chuyan. What she most wanted to know was who was behind Xie Tianli¡¯s plot against her! Whether that person was the first one she suspected or not. As for Xiao Mohan, no matter who he really was, at least! She needed someone like him, someone who could save her and guarantee her safety! Even if he were a wicked person, what did it matter? Even if he were an executioner, she had no regrets. ¡°Tell me, what would you like to do? Hm?¡± Hearing his confirmation, Gu Chuyan suddenlyughed. She leaned against the head of the bed and once again seriously looked at him, those deep ck eyes, immensely firm. ¡°Anything will do?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± said Xiao Mohan. Listening to him, Gu Chuyan suddenlyughed. She reached out, wrapped her hands around his waist, and buried her face in his chest. ¡°Knock knock,¡± someone was at the door at that moment. ¡°Sir.¡± It was the voice of Han Changqing. Xiao Mohan stood up and responded. Han Changqing walked in, bent over, and said something in his ear. ¡°Serious?¡± ¡°I heard the car is totaled,¡± said Han Changqing. ¡°Have Wen Shui take a look,¡± said Xiao Mohan. Under his control, no ident was allowed! For that man, if he wanted to escape his control, there would only be one end, death! ¡°Understood, ¡± Han Changqing took his leave and walked out. Hearing his purpose, Wen Shui jumped up: ¡°Han Changqing, don¡¯t push people too far! I¡¯m the young master of the Wen Family, not a doctor! Stop calling me for every little thing, I¡¯m very busy, I don¡¯t have time!¡± ¡°Master mentioned, it has to be you,¡± Han Changqing said solemnly. Although Wen Shui and Xiao Mohan did not get along, for some reason, he trusted him! He believed Wen Shui would not disappoint him. Hearing this, Wen Shui jumped up, his enchanting face filled with disdain. ¡°That ident-involved bastard deserves it! What does it have to do with me? It would be better if he died! It would save me the annoyance of seeing him.¡± Listening to this, Han Changqing casually sat on the sofa, picked up an apple and yed with it while saying with an amused smile: ¡°Master said, if he died, the next one to step in would be you.¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± Upon hearing this, Wen Shui spat out a mouthful of tea. Completely irritated, he pointed at Han Changqing¡¯s nose and cursed: ¡°Are you even human? If you dare to push me any further, believe it or not I will¡­.¡± ¡°Master said he is serious,¡± Han Changqing repeated once more.. Chapter 35 - 47: Would You Like to Be the Next One in Charge? Chapter 35: Chapter 47: Would You Like to Be the Next One in Charge? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Wen Shui sat down heavily on the couch, kicking the side restlessly, and said, ¡°Could it be that jerk is nning to rebel? Mysterious car ident? Who knows if it was intentional or an ident.¡± ¡°So, you need to go there.¡± Though he¡¯s abnormal and doesn¡¯t y by the rules, he still distinguishes what is important! ¡°What a pretentious jerk!¡± Wen Shui stood up, grabbed his coat, and strode out. Seeing that Han Changqing didn¡¯t follow, he turned around and kicked Han Changqing, ¡°Are youing or not? I don¡¯t have time to grind with you martial artists!¡± ¡°Who the hell did I offend? I¡¯ve been beaten up by Xiao Mohan since I was young! Now I have to y a free doctor for you guys? Where should I put my face of the Wen Family?¡± Deep in the silence of the night, on the hillside, a luxury car slowly drove out. Headed straight for the urban area of S City, it stopped diagonally across from a hospital, in the pitch-ck night where you can¡¯t see your fingers in front of your eyes. It was frightfully gloomy! A scream came from inside the hospital! A figure quickly came out, carrying a woman, and headed towards the apartment building. The floors were too high. ¡°Who are you? Let me go!¡± Gu Miaoting struggled, but they held her firmly without letting go. She looked at them with fear. It was too dark to see their faces! ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± A man said coldly. Gu Miaoting was forced to kneel on the ground. She turned to him, ¡°Gu Yan is my rtive. If you don¡¯t let me go, I believe you will end up in a terrible way.¡± The manughed artlessly, ¡°Who the hell is Gu Yan after all?¡± Hearing that, she had an ominous feeling as if a catastrophe was imminent. ¡°I heard that you¡¯ve been quite arroganttely, especially when dealing with the miss of the Gu Family! The methods are so lovely! How about we y something different tonight?¡± He lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Before she could react, he lifted his foot and kicked her off. ¡°Ah!¡± Gu Miaoting was flung down from the roof. The inside was frightfully dark, full of sinister sounds. She was terrified. The temperature inside was minus 80 degrees! She started shaking from the extreme cold. As her body kept falling, a fist came over and mmed her onto the ice. Blocks of ice crashed onto her! Her body was frozen and she thought she was about to die when she was kicked again. ¡°Bang.¡± She hit a door and fell down, seeing mes leaping up around her. Everything was glowing red hot. She fell downyer byyer, each one more frightening! It looked like Hell below, a springboard flew towards her and she was sent flying off. Her body flew through the air in an arc, hitting a wooden board and fell somewhere. ¡°Ssh.¡± Shended in a pool. ¡°Ah!¡± Gu Miaoting struggled as she retreated. They were ck ants, a type of African ant! They swam in the water and attacked her quickly. ¡°Ah.¡± She tried to vomit, but couldn¡¯t. Someone lifted her out and threw her onto the shore. As she crawled there, she could vaguely see a man sitting there drinking tea in the pitch-ck night. She couldn¡¯t make out his appearance, but he exuded an imposing presence like a king hiding in the dark. When he lifted his head, his eyes glowed, as if he was going to shatter her to pieces. ¡°Why?¡± She couldn¡¯t believe it. Why was she being treated like this? The man stood up and growled, ¡°Because I don¡¯t like you.¡± He left those words behind as he turned around and strode away. Gu Miaoting tried to get up, but her injuries were too severe and she could not stand.. Chapter 36 - 48: What is Gu Yan? Chapter 36: Chapter 48: What is Gu Yan? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Master.¡± Han Changqing noticed his paused steps as if he still had something more to do. ¡°Aqing, you go¡­¡± Xiao Mohan lowered his head and whispered something to Han Changqing, his deep, silent eves shing with coldness. Han Changqing listened with a smirk on his face and replied: ¡°Yes.¡± Gu Miaoting attempted to escape, stepping back half a step, and wincing in pain. People started approaching her and dragged her onwards. Gu Miaoting stumbled forward towards the hospital entrance where festive drums were being incessantly yed. ¡°Thump, thump, thump.¡± Her stomach was making loud noises, and she was frequently passing gas. Her stomach was in so much pain, it felt like she might have diarrhea. Her memory shed back; what they had forced her to eat earlier¡­ could it have been croton seeds? The thought made her break out in cold sweat. Struggling to make it to the restroom, a crowd had already started gathering, excited for the spectacle. ¡°Crackle, crackle crackle.¡± Fireworks started going off incessantly! She scampered around. Unfortunately, the fireworks were attached to her, exploding next to her. She almost started crying, feeling woozy. She wasn¡¯t feeling well at all. She then tumbled violently onto the ground, her face buried in the mud. Gu Miaoting stood up again, her hand covering her face. Within a ck car not far from the hospital, a man with an irresistibly handsome face was watching the scene from the window with a faint smile. ¡°Master.¡± Han Changqing turned around and got into the car, greeting Xiao Mohan. ¡°Mm.¡± ¡°Take these photos into your possession.¡± Han Changqing said gravely, handing him an iPad, and wiping his hands subconsciously, afraid Gu Miaoting had tainted them. Xiao Mohan took the iPad and casually browsed the photos, adding: ¡°Tomorrow morning, all news headlines will feature her.¡± ¡°Master, what should be the headline?¡± Han Changqing asked, starting the car and driving up the hillside. ¡°Wannabe celebrity steals headlines! Tarnishes others¡¯ image.¡± Xiao Mohan uttered after a few seconds of silence. His cold smirk and overall charismatic presence made his deep ck eyes seem bottomless and overwhelming. ¡°Master, that¡¯s an excellent move! Those celebrities that she dragged into this will surely want to meet her.¡± Han Changqingmented, his handsome eyes narrowing slightly in excitement. ¡°We can¡¯t let people consume her entirely. Her life is still owed to Gu Chuyan.¡± Said Xiao Mohan sternly. If Chuyan wants Miaoting to live, then she will live. If Chuyan wants her dead, she has no choice but to obey. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± As Han Changqingplied, he began to understand how vital Gu Chuyan was to Xiao Mohan. Chuyan was his life! He would pay any price to bring her somefort, even if it meant¡­ Han Changqing didn¡¯t dare continue that thought! Could the Master be actually falling in love? At the Gu Mansion, Because the doctor¡¯s equipment was broken, he had to be discharged and recuperate at home. And not 24 hours had passed when something went wrong. It felt like adding insult to injury. ¡°What? The Art Academy was vandalized?¡± Gu Yan roared, nearly jumping up in surprise! Unfortunately, due to his broken leg, he couldn¡¯t jump. He had no choice but to sit on the sofa, repeatedly banging the armrest. ¡°Yes! All the equipment has been destroyed! The students need to attend sses, so¡­they¡¯ve jointly requested that you take charge and ensure everything is back to normal within a week.¡± The manager said respectfully. Gu Yan¡¯s face fell at the news. ¡°How much was damaged? And who is responsible for this?¡± Gu Yan, who cared about his image, felt he hadpletely lost face these past couple of days. ¡°Mr. Gu, if we do not handle this mess properly, it may harm your reputation.¡± Gu Yan was clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation but pay from his own pocket? First and foremost, he had no idea who was behind all this! Chapter 37 - 49: Let Him Clean Up the Mess Chapter 37: Chapter 49: Let Him Clean Up the Mess Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Now, his reputation had beenpletely ruined, leading many to question his character! After all, he was attacked on his very first day in the new position, and the next day, the school was vandalized. Many people attributed all these crimes to him, making Gu Yan the subject of public scorn. ¡°We must find a way to remedy this,¡± Gu Yan said through gritted teeth. Cleaning up this mess meant he had to dip into his own savings! What¡¯s more, if not handled properly, it could impede his business operations. ¡°Find out! We need to uncover who was responsible,¡± Gu Yan called out in a low voice. ¡°After several checks, it¡¯s said that it was a natural earthquake! Only the school grounds were affected, ¡± Elder Xi reported. ¡°What.¡± Upon hearing that, Gu Yan put down the cup he was holding, the tea spilling over. His eyes narrowed with menace as he said, ¡°An earthquake struck only one specific part of S City?¡± Listening to this, Elder Xi indeed found it hard to believe. But that was the findings they had received, oundish as they seemed. ¡°There is another spection ¨C the headmaster, along with several professors, got drunk and smashed the ce. You need to see it for yourself!¡± Elder Xi exined. Upon hearing that, Gu Yan sank into the sofa, feeling a growing headache. ¡°Figure it out, continue the investigation!¡± Gu Yan gave an order in a deep voice, struggling to believe his bad luck. Why had all these ¡°good things¡± happened to him? ¡°Understood, ¡± Elder Xiplied. Gu Yan lifted his hand causing Elder Xi to pause. ¡°Also, check again! Investigate where Gu Chuyan went these past few days, and about that person we checked on before. Follow up on that matter and see if she went there,¡± Gu Yan ordered. ¡°Understood¡±, Elder Xi obeyed, then withdrew. Gu Yan moved onto his wheelchair and slid out, mumbling, ¡°Could it be that S City¡¯s situation is about to change?¡± He had risen to this position rtively easily! But peace never stayed. Now all the troubles had piled onto him. ¡°Mr. Gu, there¡¯s someone outside iming to meet you.¡± Elder Xi turned around, seeing him at the door, reported respectfully. ¡°Who is it?¡± Gu Yan asked. Elder Xi spoke in a low voice, ¡°It seems to be journalists, do you want to meet them?¡± Gu Yan gestured for him to push him forward. As they moved out, there was no sign of the journalists. ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly, a stray cat rushed from the opposite side, ran into Gu Yan, and hit him so hard he flew backward, crashing into a door panel. ¡°Mr. Gu.¡± Elder Xi stood aghast at the sight! Gu Yan was knocked to the hospital due to the sound of his fractured leg¡­ Halfway up the hill, Xiao Family Pavilion After having breakfast and taking her medicine, Gu Chuyan slept the entire day! When she woke up, it was already dusk. Lying in bed and looking at the setting sun, she felt a sense of unreality. She sat up and nkly gazed at the scenery outside. ¡°Ah.¡± She moved, identally bumping her wound, and touched her forehead. ¡°Ouch.¡± At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Mohan walked in. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Gu Chuyan looked at him, feeling a bit awkward. Having just woken up, she didn¡¯t know who had changed her clothes. She didn¡¯t want to think about it! In the whole estate, besides her and Xiao Mohan, there was only Han Changqing! Thinking of this, Gu Chuyan wanted to burrow into a hole! Because of this, she decided she would never bring it up. ¡°Hmm, is your wound still painful? Let me see.¡± Xiao Mohan approached, sat down, touched her head, and bowed to look closely. His slender fingers carefully brushed the side of her wound. ¡°It¡¯s just a small injury, nothing serious,¡± she replied. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital and have it examined again.¡± Xiao Mohan said in a heavy tone, clearly not reassured.. Chapter 38 - 50 Taking her to the Hospital Chapter 38: Chapter 50 Taking her to the Hospital Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Even a small wound was a big deal in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s just a small injury, there¡¯s no need to go.¡± Gu Chuyan said. Hisrge palmnded on her head, stroking her and said in a doting manner, ¡°Wen Shui is not here, we must go to the hospital today. Don¡¯t be afraid, I will apany you. ¡± She looked up, her apricot eyes meeting his ck ones! Her heart was jolted, as if something was slowly permeating the depths of her heart, hisrge palm still on her head. ¡°Ok.¡± Gu Chuyan listened and did not refuse anymore. Xiao Mohan stood up, opened the wardrobe, took out a coat and draped it over her, and lifted her up in his arms, walking swiftly towards the door. Gu Chuyan was enveloped in his embrace, her small hand lightly tugging at hispel, looking up at him, his face was defined, his thin lips sexy and tightly pursed, his expression very serious. ¡°Xiao Mohan.¡± She called his name softly. ¡°Hmm?¡± Xiao Mohan looked down at the person in his arms, her small face was red, as if she had a fever. He set her down in the passenger seat, put his hand on her forehead, and asked, ¡°Why is it so hot?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She said. Xiao Mohan adjusted her coat and fastened her seatbelt. Gu Chuyan shrank back, he saw him meticulous yet calm. ¡°Do you treat all women this way?¡± Gu Chuyan asked in a low voice. He paused for a moment, looked at her seriously, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°There are no women in my family.¡± ¡°What?¡± She was puzzled by his answer. Xiao Mohan gave a slight smile, his dark eyes looking at her, ¡°What I mean is, there wasn¡¯t a woman in my family before, but now there is.¡± Hearing this, Gu Chuyan¡¯s face turned red, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him. He got into the driver¡¯s seat and drove towards the citv. When thev arrived at the hospital, he opened the passenger door. She attempted to get out, but he picked her up sideways. ¡°I can walk.¡± she said. ¡°No need for the fuss.¡± he said, carrying her briskly but delightfully into the hospital. He carried her into the director¡¯s office, where a doctor came in, put on gloves, adjusted his sses, and looked at both of them. Gu Chuyan was a bit shy, she didn¡¯t like hospitals, deeming it a ce of life and death, and didn¡¯t have a very good impression of it. ¡°Hello, doctor.¡± Gu Chuyan greeted him politely. ¡°Lie down.¡± The doctor said. ¡°Alright.¡± Sheid down on the hospital bed, the doctor pressed his gloved hand against her stomach, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± When Xiao Mohan saw a bodyguard approaching, he turned around and had a few words with him, before returning to the office. ¡°Bang.¡± He strode in, swiftly pulled the doctor up, and stood in front of Gu Chuyan. ¡°What are you doing?¡± He looked at the doctor. The doctor was pushed back by him, retreating several steps, his sses falling off and shattering on the floor. ¡°Who allowed you to touch her?¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice. He brought her to examine the wound on her forehead, and this person dared to covet his woman? What audacity. The doctor hissed as he stood up, hand on his waist, he couldn¡¯t offend this VIP patient! The doctor endured the pain, picked up his broken sses and put them on, walked over, squinted at them. ¡°Sir, how am I supposed to examine her?¡± He asked.. Chapter 39 - 53 How do I see it? Chapter 39: Chapter 53 How do I see it? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°How will the check-up be conducted?¡± The tone of Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice was frighteningly cold. The doctor shivered, touched his nose, and picked up the medical record on the desk, ¡°I ¡­..¡± Gu Chuyan listened in fear, her mouth agape. With her eyes on the doctor, she asked weakly, ¡°Doctor, I¡¯m fine; let¡¯s just forget it.¡± Xiao Mohan heard this and squinted his deep-set eyes, his perfectly sculpted features brimming with anger. ¡°Her injury is on the head,¡± Xiao Mohan emphasized in a deep voice. He didn¡¯t understand the doctor¡¯s approach to this. He had registered Chuyan¡¯s case as an external injury. Besides, if it weren¡¯t for Wen Shui¡¯s absence, he wouldn¡¯t have brought her to a ce like this at all. The doctor was entirely helpless, tossing the medical file aside. ¡°Sir! I¡¯m a doctor, not a pervert! The check-up ispletely normal,¡± the doctor put his hands in his pockets, helplessly adding, ¡°I need to examine her. If it¡¯s inmmation, I suggest hospitalization.¡± (The author hides to the side, scared. He looks at the doctor and says: ¡°Master Xiao said it¡¯s a head injury! What do you need to take off her pants for? The doctor seemingly didn¡¯t hear, continuing to live in his own world.) ¡°I¡¯m nearsighted, and besides, I don¡¯t have Prating Eyes; how can I see anything?¡± The doctor rolled his eyes, feeling a headacheing on. He was just waiting for the patient¡¯s inspection to be over so he could end his shift! But here he was, dealing with a demanding patient, who had even hit him! It was outrageous. ¡°As I said, her injury is on the head!¡± Xiao Mohan, suppressing his anger, said coldly. If he wasn¡¯t worried about her wound bing inmed or developing other problems, he would have carried her off long ago! Yet he had to put up with some old man¡¯s ramblings. ¡°Doctor, my injury is here,¡± Gu Chuyan pointed to her head and pulled Xiao Mohan¡¯s arm, signaling him not to be angry. Xiao Mohan suddenly felt a tight grip on his waist. He looked down and saw her little hand clinging to his waist, her tiny face pressed against his side, visibly anxious. ¡°That¡¯s not my name,¡± She nced at the medical record. It belonged to another woman who came for an OB/GYN check-up, no wonder his words were so blunt? Xiao Mohan immediately carried her off to the president¡¯s office to request the best doctor for an on-the-spot check-up. Only after that did he carry her away. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Gu Chuyan asked. Looking at the man¡¯s dark face and tense expressions, she reached out her finger and lightly prodded his cheek. Surprised by her touch, he paused! ¡°Xiao Mohan,¡± she called out softly while nestled in his arms. ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a little hungry! Can we go have something to eat?¡± Upon hearing her initiate a conversation, Xiao Mohan¡¯s mood noticeably brightened, he asked, ¡°What do you feel like eating?¡± ¡°I want to eat cold noodles, the cold noodles from Granny¡¯s ce are very tasty,¡± she suggested. Xiao Mohan¡¯s heart suddenly fluttered at her actions, resulting in an unsteady gait, and his hold around her tightened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you sick?¡± Seeing this, Gu Chuyan lifted her head from his chest and reached up to touch his forehead, ¡°You¡¯re really hot.¡± Comparing it to her own body temperature, she found his temperature to be very high, it seemed like he had a high fever. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Despite the man¡¯s assurance, his voice was low, hoarse, and his gaze was intense. As Gu Chuyan listened, she lightheartedly teased him while looking ahead, ¡°You can put me down. I can walk by myself! Let me tell you, the cold noodles there are super delicious! Every time I go, I can eat two big bowls! Hehe, it¡¯s a pity I didn¡¯t bring any money with me.¡± Listening to her talk, he lowered his gaze to her face. She was focused on something in front of her, as if there was something attractive over there. Despite everything that had happened, her mindset seemed quite positive! Even though she was going through a rough time, she still knew how to adjust her mood and not think negatively. Xiao Mohan found this quality of hersmendable.. Chapter 40 - 56 Alright, I’ll Listen to you Chapter 40: Chapter 56 Alright, I¡¯ll Listen to you Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions She said softly, ¡°We¡¯re not like in love, feels more like, we¡¯re in it.¡± ¡°Hmm, so¡± he replied. ¡°Pfft.¡± Gu Chuyan was amused by his words! Then, ¡°Grrr¡± her stomach grumbled a little. She patted her stomach and said softly, ¡°But, I¡¯m a bit hungry now.¡± ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s grab something to eat.¡± Xiao Mohan said, releasing her waist, allowing her to walk ahead of him as he followed behind closely, protecting her. As Gu Chuyan moved forward, Xiao Mohan¡¯s phone rang and he answered it from behind. ¡°Hello, hmm.¡± His mobile phone rang; it was a call from Han Changqing. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve looked into it! That car ident, happened so strangely, it took ce at a crossroad, but at midnight, cars are scarce! Yet, he still managed to get hit! The driver just got his driver¡¯s license and it was his first time driving.¡± Han Changqing reported. Xiao Mohan paused in his pace, his hand tucked into his pocket. ¡°How are his injuries?¡± ¡°They¡¯re quite severe but it didn¡¯t affect his internal organs! It seems he¡¯s going to need some time to recuperate.¡± Han Changqing replied. Xiao Mohan sneered, his eyes filled with scorn; ¡°Seems like, he wants to stay in S City.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing said. ¡°Keep an eye on him, let¡¯s see what kind of trick he wants to y.¡± Xiao Mohan instructed. ¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Mohan thought for a while and said, ¡°Let Wen Shui take care of him.¡± ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t you afraid Wen Shui would torment him to death?¡± Han Changqing asked, sounding highly dangerous. Wen Shui, being the young master, does things in extreme! Especially when he loves to y! In this kind of matter, he enjoys it exceptionally, once he starts, it¡¯s as if his life hangs by a thread. ¡°He knows the limit.¡± Xiao Mohan replied, then hung up the phone. Xiao Mohan always dismissed that Mr. ck¡¯s thoughts! There¡¯s always some tricks! Unfortunately, he would never be able to escape Xiao Mohan¡¯s grasp! ¡°Xiao Mohan, hurry up.¡± Gu Chuyan turned around, saw him on the phone, and waved at him. Xiao Mohan spoke a few more words on the phone before hanging up, he eagerly walked towards her, wondering what kind of food she referred to as ¡®noodles¡¯. Gu Chuyan walked ahead, turned a corner, from afar she saw: ¡°North-eastern Cold Noodles, Grandma¡¯s Century-Old Store.¡± ¡°Xiao Mohan, hurry up.¡± Gu Chuyan waved at him. Xiao Mohan followed, watching her light steps, and how her lovely face broke into a smile! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re closed.¡± A store attendant said at that moment. Hearing this, Gu Chuyan saw an elderly womaning out from the store, she chastised the attendant as she saw Gu Chuyan: ¡°Did I say we¡¯re closed? Hurry up and greet the customers.¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The attendant grumbled. ¡°Grandma.¡± Gu Chuyan ran over excitedly. The elderly woman looked at her, then nced at Xiao Mohan, her gaze somewhat strange. She walked over, suddenly grabbed Xiao Mohan¡¯s wrist, much to his surprise, and then let go. ¡°A perfect match, perfect match.¡± She mumbled, then turned to grab two bottles of beer and offered, ¡°Today, grandma is treating, remember, drink it all. ¡°Thank you, grandma.¡± Gu Chuyan took them, and sat down at a window seat. Xiao Mohan stood there, his figure tall and straight, his gaze on the elderly woman, his brows furrowed. ¡°Xiao Mohan,e here,e here.¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s mood was obviously very good, seeing him noting over, she walked over and took his hand, pulling him towards her.. Chapter 41 - 57 Infertility Chapter 41: Chapter 57 Infertility Trantor: 549690339 While eating the cold noodles, Gu Chuyan felt a brush of her hair against her forehead. She saw Xiao Mohan looking at the bandage on her head, ¡°Don¡¯t drink alcohol while you have a head injury.¡± What a peculiardy! ¡°I¡¯ll just have a little bit.¡± Maybe she was too happy. But she didn¡¯t really know why she was so cheerful. After finishing a whole bottle of beer, her face beet red, she picked up some cold noodles and said, ¡°Xiao Mohan, this is really tasty.¡± The man stared at her bowl. Reaching out, he touched her wrist and gently moved her chopsticks closer. He lowered his head and elegantly ced the cold noodles into his mouth and began to chew slowly as if savouring a delicious meal. Gu Chuyan froze in ce. Was he eating her leftovers? ¡°Hmm, the taste is indeed good,¡± he remarked. ¡°Of course, next time, let¡¯se together, is that alright?¡± Gu Chuyan responded. She felt so lonely. She really yearned for someone to share meals and conversations with her! Having finished the cold noodles, and after she took a couple more swigs from the beer bottle, she reached for her purse, only to find she¡¯d left it behind. The peculiardy approached them, ¡°It¡¯s my treat today.¡± Her gaze was fixed on Xiao Mohan. ¡°Thanks,¡± he responded as he stood up to be ready to leave, leading Gu Chuyan away. On their way, Gu Chuyan hurried ahead, her steps brisk like the wind in the chilled night. She turned around to see Xiao Mohan following behind at a distance, his hand slipped into his pocket. ¡°Xiao Mohan, Xiao Mohan, I¡¯m so happy today.¡± She ran back towards him, jumping up to wrap her arms around his neck. Seeing this, the man reached out and braced her, fearful she might fall. After a couple of drinks, she was brimming with excitement! Her eyes appeared hazy as she looked at Xiao Mohan, tipping her head to one side and saying, ¡°Xiao Mohan, you¡¯re so handsome, it¡¯s just¡­a bit pitiful.¡± ¡°Why?¡± This was the first time anyone had referred to him as pitiful, and it piqued Xiao Mohan¡¯s curiosity. Gu Chuyan leaned on his shoulder, letting him carry her ahead. The chilly wind was biting, but it did not wipe off her bright smile. ¡°Xiao Mohan,¡± she kept repeating his name while nestled in his arms. She buried her head into his chest, suddenly raising her head to look at him. ¡°Xiao Mohan, given that you saved me, I want to make a lot of money in the future.¡± She counted on her fingers, whispering, ¡°When I¡¯ve earned seven figures, I¡¯ll hire all the infertility experts to help you.¡± Infertility? She wanted to treat his infertility? Xiao Mohan looked at her with cold eyes. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t be afraid, I will be with you.¡± She straightened his handsome face, leaning in to kiss him right on his lips with a small ¡°smack.¡± Her kiss was sweet! ¡°Being so handsome really makes my heart race,¡± she mumbled and snuggled into his chest. ¡°Xiao Mohan, even though this is a tough situation, even if women scorn you for it in the future, I might just reluctantly marry you.¡± After having a few drinks, she didn¡¯t have a clue of what she was saying! Her head felt hot, and she felt like she was mourning the passage of time! Saving a young man from a pit of despair.. Chapter 42 - 61: Grandpa, are you hurt? Chapter 42: Chapter 61: Grandpa, are you hurt? Trantor: 549690339 He began carrying her in a different direction when a luxurious Land Rover zoomed into view. ¡°Screech.¡± The car stops, and Han Changqing was seen hastily sprinting over. ¡°Sir, are you hurt?¡± Han Changqing, looking worn and haggard, noticed his bleeding left hand, and was greatly rmed! Xiao Mohan didn¡¯t say a word but carried her towards the car. Han Changqing opened the door, and he gently ced Gu Chuyan onto the back seat, then closed the door. ¡°What happened?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. He noticed Han Changqing¡¯s appearance. He was obviously injured as well. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m fine! Just minor injuries! I was attacked on the way here after receiving your signal! It looks like they wanted to stop me froming.¡± ¡°There were two groups of them,¡± Xiao Mohan said seriously as he climbed into the car, ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing responded, sliding behind the wheel and driving off quickly. Why were there two groups? Han Changqing was filled with perplexity. The enemy wanted to kill Xiao Mohan and also wanted him out of the picture as soon as possible. And then there was this person¡­ When Han Changqing thought about it, he clenched his fist! Even if it meant his death, he will not allow anyone toy a finger on his master! Absolutely not. ¡°I¡¯ll stop the bleeding for you.¡± Though Gu Chuyan was panicked, she managed to stay rational, reaching out to grab the first aid kit by the side, kneeling before him. With trembling hands, she picked up the scissors and cut off his sleeve! His arm was deeply cut, and you could even see a hint of bone. Yet he remained silent as if nothing had happened! ¡°Hang in there, it might hurt,¡± she said, disinfecting the wound and applying medication to stop the bleeding. Though she had no formal medical training, she was familiar with basic first aid knowledge like stopping the bleed! ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± After she finished bandaging him, he copsed into the seat. Xiao Mohan reached out, lifting her up and letting her sit on hisp, turning her face so that she was looking directly at him, ¡°I¡¯m really okay.¡± She remained silent, her little face nestled in his chest, her eyes closed. He reached out and held her small hand. It was still trembling! ¡°Good girl, I¡¯m really okay,¡± noticing her nervousness, Xiao Mohanforted her, stroking her head with hisrge hand, his deep maic voice filled with reassurance. Gu Chuyan pursed her lips, whispering, ¡°The people behind us, they were targeting me. ¡± Xiao Mohan was shocked, he hadn¡¯t expected her to be so perceptive. The group behind them indeed came for her, the attackers were merely street thugs armed with knives and not any serious weapons. He remained silent, just holding her tight! Gu Chuyan held on to hisrge hand, her heart filled with indomitable determination¡­ absolutely indomitable. The back door of the hospital, in the dead of night. A captivating figure limps her way over and as she approaches, someone who stood not far off saw her and hurriedly came up to her. ¡°Miss Gu, ¡± the man greeted with reverence. Gu Miaoting coldly looked at him and asked in a chilly voice, ¡°How did it go?¡± ¡°Failed! The person chosen is very strong! All of our men were¡­¡± he said, obviously terrified of her. ¡°Useless, can¡¯t even deal with a woman! What use are you?¡± she shouted angrily, her eyes filled with rage. Hearing this, the man hurriedly exined, ¡°We hadn¡¯t expected that the person with her would be so skilled! We miscalcted. ¡°Who¡¯s the expert by her side?¡± Gu Miaoting asked, suppressing her difort. Her body still felt very weak. She suffered from diarrheast night to the point of dehydration. She was still on IV fluids! ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You take off first, and for now don¡¯t contact me.¡± Gu Miaoting stood amidst the night, her eyes narrowed into slits, and spoke softly.. Chapter 43 - 62: All In Vain Chapter 43: Chapter 62: All In Vain Trantor: 549690339 At this point, not too far off, someone was overheard, ¡°I just can¡¯t believe it! That woman named Gu Miaoting dared to impersonate a first-ss celebrity. She was caught by the journalists. She seriously wants to ruin my idol¡¯s image.¡± ¡°Exactly, with her looks, she dreams of basking in a celebrity¡¯s limelight?¡± Gu Miaoting, clutching her stomach, returned only to identally overhear the gossip. She hauled her body back to her ward, reached out for her phone, and took a nce. ¡°Pop.¡± Her phone fell to the ground once she saw the newspaper lying next to her, stered with embarrassing photos of her from the night before. Just then, Lian Zhenzhen walked in from the neighboring ward. Seeing Gu Miaoting¡¯s poorplexion and spotting the newspaper, she immediately knew that Miaoting had read the news. She had intended to pair off Miaoting from the news, even going so far as to turning off her phone for this! ¡°I heard that you are nning to enter the entertainment industry, is it true?¡± Lian Zhenzhen asked. Although injured, Lian Zhenzhen¡¯s face was haggard, yet she still applied makeupte at night to maintain her appearance. ¡°Mom, this issue has blown up! Apparently, some people want to stop me from entering that circle, and I won¡¯t let them! I have to break into the entering that circle, and I won¡¯t let them! I have to break into the entertainment industry, it¡¯s a matter of pride!¡± said Gu Miaoting. Lian Zhenzhen, somewhat worried, said, ¡°Miaoting, the entertainment industry is full of intrigue andplexity! You can have anything but you can¡¯t enter that circle! With Gu Chuyan expelled, the Gu Family will soon be ours! Coupled with your Grandfather¡¯s influence, it¡¯s enough for you to¡­.¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Upon hearing Lian Zhenzhen, she frowned, ¡°Only when I have my own influence can I get you more! Even though Gu Yan protects us, he never gave you a formal status! I have tested him, and he clearly¡­ doesn¡¯t want to take responsibility for you..¡± Upon hearing these words, Lian Zhenzhen looked rather embarrassed. ¡°Mom, are you content staying by his side all these years?¡± Gu Miaoting asked through gritted teeth. ¡°Enough.¡± Lian Zhenzhen struggled with her feelings as she heard her daughter¡¯s words. Over the years, she had seemed to be by Gu Yan¡¯s side, but there was no future between them. ¡°Mom, if only I could be a top-tier celebrity and make more connections with people of high-status! Only then will grandpa see us in a different light! You see, he hasn¡¯t cared about us for years! It¡¯s pretty clear he¡¯s looking down on us.¡± Gu Miaoting said quietly. Lian Zhenzhen, being a housewife, didn¡¯t have much of a say. She decided to let it be. Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Family¡¯s Pavilion After settling Gu Chuyan, Xiao Mohan and Han Changqing entered the study. In the vast study, Han Changqing removed his clothes, revealing two shallow knife wounds on his body. They weren¡¯t deep, but they were bleeding nheless. ¡°Luckily, I dodged it just in time.¡± Han Changqing stated. Xiao Mohan moved closer, touching the wound, he said in a deep voice, ¡°So it was him.¡± ¡°Sir, should we inform the Xiao Family and tell them to be vignt?¡± Han Changqing donned his clothes as he asked. Xiao Mohan sat on the couch, leaning to one side and lost in thought. ¡°No need! They don¡¯t have the capacity to trouble the Xiao Family.¡± Xiao Mohan affirmed in a deep voice. If they are informed too soon, it might scare the snake back into its hole! ¡°Keep a close eye on the Gu Family. If they try to harm Chuyan again, show them no mercy.¡± Xiao Mohanmanded. The second batch of people were unprofessional, probably some thugs or something simr. More importantly, their target was not him, but Gu Chuyan. Han Changqing, upon hearing this, frowned. ¡°Does the master mean that the second group was after Madame?¡± Han Changqing was intelligent; he understood what he was implying instantly. ¡°They dare to move against my people! Let¡¯s see if they have the guts to.¡± A smirk formed on Xiao Mohan¡¯s thin lips. His long fingers clutching the armrest, his entire body exuding a chilling aura.. Chapter 44 - 63: Monster in the Kitchen Chapter 44: Chapter 63: Monster in the Kitchen Trantor: 549690339 His deep eyes were focused on the documents on the table. He picked up a file, skimmed through it, and casually tossed it into the trash bin, ¡°Since they¡¯re in such a hurry, I¡¯ll just cut off their hands and feet for her.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Han Changqing obliged, then got up and left. Xiao Mohan stood up, moved the bookshelf on the other side of the study aside, then returned to the room from the balcony. The room was still lit; she was lying on the spacious bed, her sleep was extremely restless! He reached out and turned off the light, leaving only a deskmp on. ¡°From now on, I¡¯m here! There will be no unrest.¡± He whispered, then rolled onto his side on the bed and reached out his arm, pulling her into his arms. Gu Chuyan murmured, shrinking into his arms. Her small hand clutched at his clothes, refusing to let go. As if his embrace brought her a sense of safety she craved. In the middle of the night, Gu Chuyan had a dream. She dreamed that Xiao Mohan was hacked in half with a knife and fell in front of her. ¡°Xiao Mohan! No!¡± she sat upright, suddenly. She sat on the bed, panting heavily! Her sleepwear was soaked in sweat. She shook her head repeatedly. The bedroom was empty, void of Xiao Mohan and of gore. ¡°It was just a dream.¡± she whispered, then mbered out of bed. She descended the stairs barefoot, faintly hearing a sound, she headed downstairs towards the source of themotion. ¡°Bang!¡± she stood in the doorway, looking into the kitchen, where a tall figure was struggling to cook. A chicken egg was tossed from the pan, heading straight for the top of his head. ¡°**** ¡± A man¡¯s curse echoed from the kitchen. Startled, Gu Chuyan took a step back. She saw him pick up a knife and a fishing line. As he swung the knife down, the fish split in two. Worst of all, the fish tail ended up stuck to his face. The fish head, however, jumped onto his shirt cor and slid down his body. ¡°Ahhh.¡± A mournful cry ot pain echoed trom inside. The man picked up a chili pepper and started to chop it, his knife work astonishingly fast. Having chopped up the chili pepper, he turned around without adding oil and tossed the red chili into the pan, stir-frying it. ¡°Pop pop pop.¡± The pan sizzled, the chili pepper getting singed and causing him to tear up from the pungent smell. He kicked out and the pan toppled to the floor! ¡°Thud.¡± The hot pan hit the ground,nding on his foot. ¡°Ouch!¡± The man hopped up,nding back on the pan, the sharp sound of his burn reaching Gu Chuyan. All Gu Chuyan saw was a flurry of crows flying overhead, a figure bolting out of the kitchen andnding on the couch! ¡°Xiao Mohan! I swear I¡¯ll get you!¡± Wen Shui sprawled out on the couch, pointing towards the ceiling, venting his frustrations. Ever since he was little, he felt inferior to Xiao Mohan, who also bullied him! Wen Shui refused to ept this. He was of the most handsome men, full of charm! Although he admitted that Xiao Mohan was all man, that didn¡¯t give him the right to bully him! ¡°Are you okay?¡± Gu Chuyan approached him, seeing his despondent face, and asked with concern. Upon hearing her voice, Wen Shui jumped from the sofa! After ncing at her a couple of times, he hid his hand behind his back, not wanting her to see. ¡°What exactly did you see just now?¡± Wen Shui asked defensively. ¡°I saw everything I needed to see.¡± She answered. She looked at the egg white on his head, dripping onto his handsome face! His clothes, studded with fish scales. His hands, cut several times, with an rming amount of blood. His feet, scalded red, almost cooked to perfection. ¡°If you dare to tell anyone, I won¡¯t let you off.¡± Wen Shui extended his hand in front of her, in an X shape, as if threatening to kill her if she said anything.. Chapter 45 - 64: Really Want to Undermine Chapter 45: Chapter 64: Really Want to Undermine Trantor: 549690339 Gu Chuyan held back augh, her face serious as she said, ¡°You¡¯re injured at work, you need to rest.¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± Wen Shui said, crossing his legs, squinting his charming eyes, and flirtatiously winked at her, ¡°Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m incredibly handsome? Even more manly than Xiao Mohan? Why don¡¯t you go with me? I promise to make you happy.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Chuyan listened, feeling he had lost his marbles. Xiao Mohan was strikingly handsome with a serious face, and in contrast, this man in front of her, not only was he beautifully feminine-looking! What was essential was, he kind of felt like a jumped-up clown to her! How could the two evenpare? Wen Shui blinked his beautiful eyes at her and blew a whistle. ¡°Are you captivated by my charm? If you want to pledge yourself to me, you¡¯d better hurry up!¡± Wen Shui continued to flirt, not wanting to lose to Xiao Mohan. ¡°Forget it! If you are so handsome, how could I ever deserve you?¡± said Gu Chuyan. ¡°Don¡¯t be shy, I can make do with myself!¡± Wen Shui listened and was immediately thrilled, feeling sure he could steal her heart. He loved this kind of thing. He had heard of stealing someone¡¯s lover before, never thinking it woulde in handy now! If he could steal Xiao Mohan¡¯s woman, it would certainly add to his prestige. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t go.¡± Wen Shui watched her calmly get up without being entranced by his charm, and she didn¡¯t throw herself into his arms yfully either! Watching her retreating figure, he ran his hand through his hair. ¡°Am I getting ugly?¡± he said, picking up a bowl, looking at his reflection in the water, still as charming and handsome as ever. Gu Chuyan turned around and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the mess, she squatted down to clean up. When Xiao Mohan came back and saw her in the kitchen, he took off his coat and tossed it on the sofa. He strode toward her, picked her up in his arms and carried her out. ¡°Gu Chuyan, who told you to enter the kitchen?¡± Seeing him back, she looked a bit flustered. She replied in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not me.¡± She thought he was ming her and that he was angry about her messing up the kitchen. ¡°That¡¯s not the point!¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice. He put her on the sofa, holding her wrist with hisrge palm, his maic voice filling the air again: ¡°How could my woman, Xiao Mohan¡¯s woman, enter the kitchen?¡± He said and turned to Wen Shui, ¡°From now on, he is in charge of your meals.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Gu Chuyan listened, looked up at him, and asked in a soft voice, ¡°Are you sure his cooking is edible?¡± Hearing her words, Xiao Mohan¡¯s face suddenly changed. He turned to Wen Shui and called out in a deep voice, ¡°Wen Shui.¡± ¡°You, you¡¯re back?¡± Wen Shui chocked on his milk at the sound of his voice and spewed it out. Xiao Mohan hoisted him up and tossed him into the kitchen, ¡°I asked you to cook for her, and you let her touch water in the kitchen?¡± ¡°I¡­.¡± Wen Shui was yelled at, and he held up his hands andined, ¡°Look at my hands! As the young master of the Wen Family, I had to cook for your woman, and now I¡¯m severely injured.¡± ¡°Super chef certificate.¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice. Wen Shui heard and shrank back, then shouted defiantly, ¡°I bought it off the street, it was ten bucks a pop.¡± ¡°Snap.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mohan threw him out. Xiao Mohan entered the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and said to her, ¡°Let me do this.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s all done.¡± Gu Chuyan said. She divided the noodles into two bowls and brought them out. Then, Wen Shui burst into the room from outside the door. ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave!¡± Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, two figures rushed in, each grabbing an arm, and dragged him away! Wen Shui was still shouting. ¡°How dare you! A bunch of martial artists dare to bully me? Do you know who I am? I¡¯m the young master of the Wen Family, my family is wealthy! My family has power, I¡­.¡± ¡°Let me go, what are you doing?¡± Wen Shui was startled.. Chapter 46 - 65: What I Bought on the Sidewalk Chapter 46: Chapter 65: What I Bought on the Sidewalk Trantor: 549690339 The two bodyguards let go of him, and he thought he had scared them off with his badass attitude! Just when he was feeling proud of himself, the two bodyguards reached out and lifted him up.. ¡°Too smelly.¡± They said calmly, obviously his attire is so stinky, it would have tainted their clothes as well. ¡°Damn it, how dare you touch my clothes? Xiao Mohan, get out here! You¡­ bullying a lonely dog? Behind my back, you started dating! How am I supposed to exin this to the Wen Family.¡± Wen Shui barked hoarsely. Unfortunately, the bodyguards showed no mercy and tossed him out. Gu Chuyan listened, the corner of her mouth twitching, discreetly she looked up at him. Yet there was no reaction on Xiao Mohan¡¯s face, as if he didn¡¯t hear the man¡¯s rant. ¡°I really envy you two.¡± Seeing this, Gu Chuyan shook her head,ughing. Watching the two of them, they fought and they squabbled. However, it was clear that their friendship was profoundly solid, like real bros, or the type of friends who dabbled in mischief together. ¡°Envious?¡± Xiao Mohan seemed surprised. Gu Chuyan stood up and said while looking at Xiao Mohan: ¡°The one who keeps messing around with you must be your best bro! I think he looks out for you.¡± Every time he and Han Changqing would yell at Wen Shui, he would respond by being rowdy, sticking to them like glue. That too is a kind of affection! Outsiders might see them as enemies, but from her perspective! It was a deep-seated bond. ¡°Hungry? I¡¯ll cook for you.¡± Xiao Mohan rose to his feet, rolled up his sleeves, and spoke to her. Seeing this, Gu Chuyan extended her hand to hold his arm saying: ¡°No need, your hand is injured, I can do it myself!¡± ¡°Sshh.¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s attention was diverted, she quickly grabbed his left hand and asked: ¡°Did I touch your wound, didn¡¯t I?¡± She attentively looked at the man, unaware of the deep, inscrutable light in the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Hmm, it hurts a little.¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice, indulging in her concern, acting a bit coy. ¡°I¡¯ll change the medicine for you.¡± She said, supporting his hand before heading upstairs! Gu Chuyan helped Xiao Mohan back into the bedroom, he stood by the French windows, watching her fetch the medicine chest, he turned slightly, watching her approach. But, his hand did get hurt! The need to change the bandages was also real! She must be overthinking, she shook her head and advanced with the medicine chest. Xiao Mohan watched her, a grin tugged at his lips upon seeing her innocent eyes. The man¡¯s big palm rested on her head as he said in a deep voice: ¡°You will understand, in due time.¡± ¡°Boss.¡± Han Changqing walked in, noticing the door was not closed. He was very upset, the boss was hurt but did not let Wen Shui tend to his injury, instead, throwing him out and letting Gu Chuyan, who had no medical background, do it. The sight of the bandaging was¡­ that butterfly knot, too conspicuous! A grown man wearing arge butterfly knot! ¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Mohan responded, Han Changqing walked in but turned his back towards them, gazing nkly at the door, refusing to see what was happening. Otherwise, he feared he would lose hisposure. ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± After she finished medicating him, she remembered something. ¡°Yes?¡± She sat on the couch, her small hands on her knees, and spoke softly, ¡°That day when I came back from school, there was a girl named Yao Rong. How is she now?¡± Xiao Mohan looked up and saw Han Changqing turn around, he came forward and respectfully said to her, ¡°Madam, Miss Yao was knocked unconscious and left in the bathroom. However, she merely has a minor concussion and is not seriously injured.¡± ¡°I see!¡± She listened but was still somewhat concerned. Xiao Mohan got up, reached for his shirt, and put it on.. Chapter 47 - 66 What are you trying to do? Chapter 47: Chapter 66 What are you trying to do? Trantor: 549690339 ¡°What¡¯s the n for that matter?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. ¡°I need to meet Xie Tianli.¡± She said softly, her tone unwaveringly determined. She wanted to find out who was pulling the strings behind Xie Tianli¡¯s actions! The person whomunicated with Xie Tianli must be found. ¡°Aqing, make arrangements.¡± Xiao Mohan said. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing obeyed, and respectfully left the room. But Gu Chuyan didn¡¯t know that Xiao Mohan had already taught her a lesson! However, he felt that it was necessary for her to address the matter herself. ¡°You don¡¯t have to get involved, I can handle it myself.¡± She thought for a moment, and said. Gu Chuyan wasn¡¯t some pampered rich kid. She had always been independent and disliked relying on others! ¡°Okay.¡± He agreed, seemingly unsurprised. S City, bordered by the sea to the east and high mountains to the west. It was rumored that the city was built on a Dragon Vein! What is a Dragon Vein? It¡¯s the ce where the royal family is buried, a reservoir of auspicious Feng Shui! That meant that this ce was destined for greatness. The winter in S City was unpredictable, with sudden winds, asionally rain and swirling snow. At dusk, pedestrians on the street dwindled as the cold wind blew fiercely. ¡°Haha, that fool Gu Chuyan! Let me tell you, in this society, who doesn¡¯t bow to power? With just a flick of my finger, I could leave her with nowhere to go, but fortunately, I didn¡¯t want to kill her!¡± Xie Tianli¡¯s voice echoed in the distance. Behind her, several ssmates followed, tteringly listening to her ¡°great achievements¡±. ¡°You¡¯re really amazing.¡± ¡°Of course. Who dares to mess with the Xie Family in S City?¡± Xie Tianli arrogantly raised her chin. ¡°We heard you disappeared during that incident at the school, we thought you had been kidnapped for revenge.¡± One of the ssmates said hesitantly. Xie Tianli was also puzzled. She indeed had been kidnapped that day, but she didn¡¯t know why she was released! ¡°Kidnapped? How could it be? I was invited to an upscale banquet! So, I wasn¡¯t on the scene.¡± She said. When the cold wind blew, she realized it was particrly chilly that day. ¡°Gu, Gu Chuyan?¡± At this moment, one of the ssmates pointed ahead, and eximed. Xie Tianli looked ahead and saw Gu Chuyan leaning against a tree trunk with a milk tea in her hand. She wasfortably enjoying the beautiful ¡°scenery¡±. ¡°Hi!¡± Gu Chuyan waved and greeted them. The evening sun was setting, casting a golden glow on Gu Chuyan. She wore a white towel, a yellow down jacket, tight ck pants and short boots! Her youthful aura brightened her colorful attire, resembling a ray of sunshine. ¡°Gu Chuyan, you dare to show up?¡± Xie Tianli¡¯s eyes turned red at the sight of her. Hold back? Xie Tianli was beaten by Gu Chuyan that day and she could not ept it! These were some inexplicable incidents in her family recently. It must have been Gu Chuyan¡¯s doing. Gu Chuyan was 168cm tall, and she was only 159cm! Gu Chuyan, being taller, held an obvious advantage and looked down at her dismissively. ¡°Gu Chuyan, are you insane? You dare to hit me again, try it?¡± Maybe she was scared her being beaten by Gu Chuyan would be public, degrading her reputation. ¡°p.¡± Gu Chuyan raised her hand and pped her hard across her face! Yao Rong, her best friend, was beaten into a concussion and left in the female toilet! Only Xie Tianli could do such a thing. ¡°Ah.¡± Xie Tianli was pped. She retaliated, reaching out to scratch Gu Chuyan¡¯s face. Unfortunately, her hand did not make it. Suddenly, a figure appeared, a hand gripping her wrist, then forcefully twisting it! ¡°Ah..¡± Xie Tianli cried out in pain, her eyes rolling back! Chapter 48 - 67: Gu Chuyan ‘s Revenge Chapter 48: Chapter 67: Gu Chuyan ¡®s Revenge Trantor: 549690339 Gu Chuyan moved forward, looking down on her from a higher position. ¡°Tell me, who¡¯s behind this! Then I¡¯ll let you go.¡± She asked softly, at the moment, she was controlling her hand, not strangling her neck. Xie Tianli, in pain, was convulsing on the spot. ¡°Why should I tell you?¡± She gritted her teeth, refusing to say a word. Hearing this, Gu Chuyan stood up straight, took out a packet of chili powder, blew it towards Xie Tianli. Xie Tianli started coughing violently; Gu Chuyan moved the chili powder closer and stuffed it into her mouth. ¡°You, you.¡± Her mouth wide open, she choked severely, constantly coughing as the powder was inhaled into her nose, her breath was rapid, with tears streaming down. She continuously wanted to vomit, but s, she was choking so hard that even her stomach hurt. She sprawled on the ground, gasping and rolling relentlessly due to the spiciness of the pepper. ¡°Are you going to talk?¡± Gu Chuyan bent down, grabbed her, and stared at her painful appearance: ¡°If you don¡¯t, your beautiful eyes¡­¡± Xie Tianli widened her eyes, after hearing her words, despite the pain, she understood what Gu Chuyan meant! She nned to blind her? At this thought, tears fell like a downpour, she cried bitterly, tried to w back, but the spiciness deterred her, causing her to roll helplessly on the spot. Upon seeing this, several ssmates wanted to rush to help, but were dragged away by people from the dark. ¡°Have you decided yet? I¡¯ll give you ten seconds.¡± Gu Chuyan asked. ¡°Gu Chuyan, I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± With her eyes closed, she dared not rub them, tried to reach for Gu Chuyan, but unfortunately her left wrist was broken and immobile. Pulled up Xie Tianli and threw her into a pool of ice water on the side. With a ¡°ssh¡±, Xie Tianli was thrown in, and the water was just melted ice. ¡°Ah, no, no, it hurts, no.¡± She tried to wash her face, only to find out that the water was even spicier. Her entire body felt as if it was on fire! Gu Chuyan stood by the pit, holding a stick. ¡°Tell me, who instructed you to do this?¡± she asked. Xie Tianli was only 22 this year! Three years older than Gu Chuyan, but as ady of high social standing, she couldn¡¯t bear this kind of torture and within minutes, she wished she was dead. ¡°I can¡¯t tell, if I told, my whole family would die.¡± she shook her head continuously. Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan, who had experienced life and death, perhaps would have let her go in the past, but now she wished she could skin her and peel her tendons! ¡°If you don¡¯t tell now, I can still kill you.¡± ¡°Gu Chuyan, you dare.¡± She had always looked down on Gu Chuyan. Gu Chuyan squatted down, picked up a rock, and hurled it at her head! She bent Gu Chuyan squatted down, picked up a rock, and hurled it at her head! She bent down again, grabbed her small face: ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of my revenge?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell, I¡¯ll tell.¡± Xie Tianli couldn¡¯t bear it any longer, realizing that Gu Chuyan really meant it. Just then Han Changqing approached, pulled her up and threw her onto the shore. A bucket of ice water was poured over her, in an attempt to clean her. Xie Tianli was so cold that her whole body was shivering! Shey on the ground, sobbing incessantly. ¡°There¡¯s a woman, she called me! Threatening me to do this, she holds the ropes to my father! If I didn¡¯t, my whole family would be killed by her.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know who she is, I never met her!¡± ¡°Cellphone?¡± Gu Chuyan moved forward, opening Xie Tianli¡¯s bag. Gleaning through the contents, she moved closer, asking: ¡°Which number is ¡°The one saved as ¡®Bitch¡¯,¡± she gritted her teeth as she spoke. ¡°¡®Bitch¡¯?¡± Gu Chuyan raised an eyebrow, stood up, and started scrolling through the numbers.. Chapter 49 - 68: Being Firm in Work Chapter 49: Chapter 68: Being Firm in Work Trantor: 549690339 Gu Chuyan was on guard, she raised her foot and stomped down hard. ¡°This is what you owe me.¡± Xie Tianli never dreamt that a weak woman, when provoked, could be so ruthless as to make life worse than death! Had she known, she would definitely not have taken things so lightly. ¡°Ah.¡± Xie Tianli rolled around on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring at Gu Chuyan. Gu Chuyan held her phone and dialed a number! ¡°Ring.¡± At this moment, the phone was answered only after a long pause. ¡°Hello, didn¡¯t I tell you not to contact me?¡± At this point, a woman¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone! Listening to this, Gu Chuyan¡¯s face turned ashen! Her hands were trembling and the phone slipped out of her hands and fell into the ice water! With a ¡°plop¡±, the phone was submerged, and the call was cut off. ¡°Someone, take her away.¡± At this point, Han Changqing ordered. ¡°Yes.¡± From the shadows, two bodyguards stepped forward and dragged Xie Tianli away! Gu Chuyan stood in the same spot, the setting sun cast long shadows, the temperature had dropped, but she felt colder than before! So cold that it seemed as though her heart was freezing. ¡°Madam, are you okay?¡± Han Changqing looked at her worriedly. Hearing his words, Gu Chuyan came back to her senses, she forced a smile, but the smile was even worse than tears! ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She said softly, then after a few steps, she turned around and asked, ¡°Can I go to visit Yao Rong tonight?¡± ¡°Does madam n on staying the night there?¡± Han Changqing asked. ¡°Mm.¡± Han Changqing couldn¡¯t decide on his own, he took out his phone, dialed a number, it was quickly picked up and he handed her the phone: ¡°You can talk to him yourself.¡± ¡°Hello, Xiao Mohan, 1¡­1 want to go to Yao Rong¡¯s ce tonight, is that okay?¡± Xiao Mohan tersely replied, ¡°Tomorrow morning, I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± She responded, hung up the phone, and handed it back to Han Changqing. Gu Chuyan wanted to hail a taxi, then she turned to him and said, ¡°His hand is injured, he can¡¯t eat anything spicy!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll remind others.¡± Han Changqing responded cheerfully, breaking into a grin. ¡°Yao Rong¡¯s house isn¡¯t far from here, I¡¯ll just take a taxi.¡± As she was speaking, Han Changqing escorted her to the road. He wanted to apany her but realized that she obviously did not want to show off. ¡°Madam, take care.¡± He said. ¡°Mm.¡± She responded, hailed a taxi, gave the driver Yao Rong¡¯s address, the driver turned around and headed in that direction. After the taxi left, two bodyguards stepped forward. ¡°Brother Changqing. ¡± Han Changqing turned around, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he nced over them: ¡°Go, ensure the safety of the madam.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing this, they walked to their Mercedes, got in and followed her. Han Changqing walked back, only to see a luxurious car parked diagonally across the street, the window slowly rolled down, revealing Xiao Mohan¡¯s handsome face. He lifted his gaze slightly and exchanged a nce with him. At that moment, a bodyguard fished out the submerged phone and handed it over. ¡°Master, how should we deal with this woman?¡± Xiao Mohan exited the car, and with a determined stride, he approached her, towering over her as he looked at what¡¯s left of Xie Tianli. ¡°Lock her up first.¡± Xiao Mohan coldly ordered. For a woman who dared to hit Gu Chuyan, leniency was not an option. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing responded. ¡°No! Please spare me, I promise never to do it again.¡± Xie Tianli realized her end was near! She should have never crossed Gu Chuyan. ¡°Get rid of all the Xie Family members.¡± Xiao Mohan squinted, looking towards Gu Chuyan¡¯s direction, he absolutely could not allow these people to disturb her anymore. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Changqing heard this, and took orders.. Chapter 50 - 69: Good Friends for Life Chapter 50: Chapter 69: Good Friends for Life Trantor: 549690339 Gu Chuyan arrived at an apartment building, bought some fruits from a store across the street, and brought them upstairs, knocking on a door for a while. ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here.¡± At that moment, just as the knocking sound can be heard, Yao Rong¡¯s voice came. When the door was opened and Yao Rong saw Gu Chuyan, she was stunned for a moment. ¡°Chuyan, it¡¯s you!¡± Yao Rong was somewhat excited; she threw her arms wide open, rushing forward, tightly hugging her and not letting go, saying, ¡°I couldn¡¯t get in touch with you these past few days. I was so worried.¡± Gu Chuyan looked at her, who still had severalyers of bandages wrapped around her head! ¡°I¡¯m okay, but what happened to your head?¡± Yao Rong dragged her inside, closed the door, her small face changing. She said to Chuyan, ¡°Xie Tianli was too arrogant; she had someone beat me up. This grudge, I will settle it sooner orter.¡± Yao Rong was wearing pyjamas, her hair tied up in a bun, and wrapped around her head was ayer of white gauze. She pulled Gu Chuyan to sit down, whispering, ¡°Where did you go that day? I searched for you all the way but couldn¡¯t find you!¡± Upon hearing that she was expelled, Yao Rong had been searching for her, only to be ambushed and beaten up on the road. ¡°I was called to the principal¡¯s office to discuss my expulsion, let¡¯s not talk about that. Does the Yao Family know about your injury?¡± She asked. Hearing this, Yao Rong quickly waved her hand, ¡°I don¡¯t want them to know.¡± Saying that, she suddenly lowered her head and noticed the injuries on the back of Gu Chuyan¡¯s hand. She froze: ¡°Who did this? Howe your hands are full of scars?¡± Gu Chuyan looked at her hand, and gave a smallugh, as if she didn¡¯t mind at all ! ¡°Gu Miaoting.¡± said Gu Chuyan. Seeing Yao Rong¡¯s furious reaction, she found it amusing. She quickly got up and hugged her, fearing that she would actually rush to the Gu Family¡¯s ce to fight. ¡°Alright, alright! I know you care for me the most, therefore, I¡¯m staying tonight.¡± ¡°Wait! You fell out with Gu Miaoting, and school¡¯s expelled you now. What are you going to do? Where have you been staying these days?¡± Yao Rong¡¯s brain reacted slowly, only getting a hold of the situation after a while. ¡°I¡¯ve found myself a big shot.¡± she half-jokingly said. She grabbed an apple, peeled it and cut it into slices, ced them in a ss bowl, and handed it to her. ¡°Really? If you¡¯re going to aim, aim big, someone like Mr. Hei and all! Knock off that shameless Gu Yan.¡± Yao Rong indulged in a flight of fancy, feeling people with higher status are worthy of Gu Chuyan. ¡°Why don¡¯t you say that I¡¯m going to marry an emperor in the future?¡± Gu Chuyan listened, shook her head, stood up, took Yao Rong¡¯s pyjamas and walked into the bathroom, saying: ¡°I¡¯m taking a shower.¡± She used toe often, Yao Rong even gave her a spare key! After the conflict with Xie Tianli just now, she felt like she smelled of chili peppers, and wanted to take a bath. ¡°Pfft.¡± In the bathroom, Gu Chuyan closed her eyes! Leaning against one side. She inadvertently chuckled at the memory of that day¡¯s event. ¡°Tsk tsk, look at that expression on your face.¡± Yao Rong pushed open the bathroom door, eating an apple while sizing her up. Seeing here in, Gu Chuyan quickly drew herself in! Her entire body was submerged in the water, only her head was above the surface. ¡°Do I have one?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t? I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Yao Rong thought to herself, tossing the bowl backwards and walking in.. At seven-thirty in the evening. The two of them changed their clothes, went downstairs to a restaurant across the street and ordered food. ¡°I really can¡¯t figure out what Gu Yan is thinking. Is he blind? All these years, being tricked by the pure and innocent act of Gu Miaoting, and he¡¯s willing to take it.¡± Gu Chuyan didn¡¯t utter a word as she drank her water.. Chapter 51 - 70: It Can ‘t Be a Success, Can It? Chapter 51: Chapter 70: It Can ¡®t Be a Sess, Can It? Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Tell me, how did Lian Zhenzhen and her daughter get away with being so brazen in the Gu Family for twenty years?¡± Yao Rong guessed. ¡°Pft.¡± Gu Chuyan nearly choked on her water upon hearing this. ¡°Cough cough, I have no idea.¡± Gu Chuyan wanted to refute, but it seemed to make sense. ¡°No ¡®buts!¡¯ I guess¡­¡± Yao Rong continued. At that moment, the waitress brought over their dishes, and Gu Chuyan helped her to serve some. ¡°Alright, enough about them, let¡¯s eat.¡± Gu Chuyan said. It¡¯s not that she didn¡¯t care, but she just wanted to avoid it. She didn¡¯t dare think further, afraid that Yao Rong¡¯s casual words might be true! As the two were enjoying their meal, the door was flung open, and all the customers in the small restaurant were cleared out! The two looked surprised at the turn of events. They saw Mr. Xi wheeling someone in. The man sitting in the wheelchair, wasn¡¯t that Gu Yan? ¡°Well, speak of the devil and he appears!¡± Yao Rong looked at him without fear, mocking: ¡°¡® Mr. Gu, what brings you to such a small restaurant?¡± Mr. Xi wheeled Gu Yan in. Gu Yan¡¯s face was grim, and he looked much haggard! It might be due to illness, or perhaps due to the numerous things that have happened recently! They¡¯ve strained him, and drained his wallet, leaving his whole being in a bad state. ¡°Gu Chuyan, what kind of friend is this you¡¯re keeping?¡± As Gu Yan was wheeled to the table, he pointed at her, lecturing her. Gu Chuyan continued eating her rice, not bothering to acknowledge him. ¡°Smack.¡± Gu Yan reached out, snatched away her bowl of rice, and tossed it aside! She looked up at him, a mocking smile on her face: ¡°Does Mr. Gu grace us with his presence just to teach me a lesson? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not worthy of it.¡± ¡°Smack.¡± Hearing her words, Gu Yan raised his hand, intending to strike Gu Chuyan. Little did he know that she too had raised her hand, gripping his tightly! His strength was great, causing some pain when he hit her hand! If it were her face, it would probably get swollen again. ¡°Mr. Gu, this random aggression of yours, it¡¯s time to rein in! Not everyone can be hit by you.¡± Gu Chuyan chuckled coldly, pushing his hand away. ¡°Mr. Gu!¡± Mr. Xi seemed a bit worried about Gu Chuyan. Having been with Gu Yan for many years, he thought Gu Chuyan was quite a decent kid. However, he didn¡¯t know when, but she began to be distained by the Gu family! It even got to the point where she was kicked out of the house. ¡°Gu Chuyan, what¡¯s with this attitude?¡± Gu Yan angrily mmed the table, ring at Gu Chuyan. At that, she gave a bitter smile under her breath! The man in front of her was her own biological father, but his motions to hit her were fluid and practiced. ¡°Did you have someone hit Miaoting just now?¡± Gu Yan demanded. Gu Chuyan was taken aback, so Gu Yan¡¯s visit today was to settle the score! It was truly ironic; her own biological father was here to give her trouble on behalf of another woman? ¡°If I did do it, are you going to arrest me? Or make me pay for her medical bills?¡± Gu Chuyan responded sarcastically. Yao Rong stood up, nearly overturning the table. ¡°Pathetic! Chuyan had someone hit her? What the hell is Miaoting worth? Hitting her would only dirty our hands! Mr. Gu, you don¡¯t even want your own daughter, but you¡¯re helping an outsider¡¯s child. If outsiders didn¡¯t know any better, they might think that woman is your illegitimate child?¡± Her words made Gu Yan¡¯s face flush with unmatched embarrassment. ¡°Miss Yao! Mind your manners.¡± Mr. Xi spoke out, guardedly defending Gu Yan, given his role as a secretary. Gu Yan looked at Yao Rong, speaking in a low tone: ¡°If you don¡¯t want anything to happen to the Yao Family, shut your mouth.¡± ¡°Are you threatening me? Just who do you think you are?¡± Yao Rong retorted, pointing at him.. Chapter 52 - 52: Mr. Zhang Gu, let’s end our relationship. Chapter 52: Mr. Zhang Gu, let¡¯s end our rtionship. Trantor: 549690339 She couldn¡¯t believe it. An adult resorting to threatening a 19-year-old ssmate, it was absolutely disgraceful. All she did was state the truth. ¡°Yao Rong, could you buy me a bottle of Coke? I¡¯m thirsty,¡± Gu Chuyan spoke, intending to distract her. ¡°I¡­¡± She wanted to refuse, fearing that Gu Chuyan would be bullied in her absence, but seeing her earnest gaze, she could only concede and head out with her purse. After Yao Rong departed, Gu Chuyan sat quietly, picking up her chopsticks and cing them neatly on the table. She got up and went to the counter, borrowed a pen and a piece of paper, returned to her seat, and wrote, ¡°Severance of Rtions Agreement¡± on it. After quickly scribbling her message and signing it, she slid the paper across to him and softly said, ¡°Mr. Gu, let¡¯s sever our rtions.¡± ¡®¡­?¡± Gu Yan was dumbfounded, clearly unprepared for her to make such a move. He had just received a call that Gu Miaoting had been beaten up. He happened to be passing by when he saw Chuyan eating here and came in to get to the bottom of things. However, he had been too impulsive and had actually hit her! But she wanted to sever ties with him. ¡°Ever since my brother disappeared three years ago, I¡¯ve felt redundant in the Gu family. I¡¯ve merely been an obstacle to you.¡± ¡°You always defend Aunt Zhen and protect Miaoting.¡± Curtlyughing, her heart ached at her own words: ¡°But you never thought to protect me.¡± ¡°Every time something happens, you think of Miaoting first! You believe I¡¯m the worst of the lot, that I do all the bad things! I get med and punished whether it¡¯s my fault or not.¡± ¡°I got bullied at school. They knew full well my father is a deputy director, a high ranking official! Yet, they let people oppress me. Never once did they attend my parent-teacher meetings, but they would frequent Miaoting¡¯s.¡± ¡°She needs money, you give! But I never had¡­ I had to work, I had to pick up trash, I had to wash dishes!¡± She spoke with augh, previously she would have felt wronged, but now she could say it whileughing. ¡°If you have any conscience left, let me go! Stop tormenting me! Sign it, and we¡¯ll settle up, not owing each other anything. If you still have a shred of decency left, it¡¯d be great if you could arrange for someone to find my brother¡­ to see if he¡¯s alive.¡± With that, she took Gu Yan¡¯s hand and ced the pen in it. Mr. Xi and Gu Yan stood there speechlessly, watching her sobbing. They, as elders, were just¡­ ¡°Once it¡¯s signed, I¡¯ll personally submit it to the court. Rest assured, I¡¯ve never spoken about you being my father in public, so you won¡¯t have to worry that I¡¯ll be your joke.¡± Gu Yan was shaking with anger. This was not the oue he was hoping for! ¡°Thud.¡± He mmed the pen down onto the table. For some unknown reason, he waspletely taken aback! Being in a position of power, he had always thought his actions were on point. He had hit her, scolded her, and ignored her, all for her own good! However, she was using him, saying he was wrong. ¡°Gu Chuyan, you think just because you¡¯ve grown wings, you¡¯re ready to fly? Let me tell you, I, Gu Yan, can¡¯t afford to lose face.¡± He reached out, grabbed the paper, tore it up forcefully, and flung it at her. Mr. Xi¡¯s lips moved, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he remained silent. Gu Yan put his hand on the wheel and left under his own steam! ¡°Miss Gu, don¡¯t worry about old Gu, he¡¯s just stressed out recently! Hence his irrational behavior,¡± Mr. Xi said, reaching out with a tissue for her.. Chapter 53 - 73: The Car Nearly Hit Her Chapter 53: Chapter 73: The Car Nearly Hit Her Trantor: 549690339 Gu Chuyan took the napkin, looked at him gratefully and said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Xi.¡± ¡°I know you¡¯re a good child and you should live well.¡± Old Xi said to her before turning and walking away to catch up with Gu Yan. Outside, a luxurious car was parked. After helping Gu Yan get in, Old Xi drove away. The whole restaurant was quiet. Gu Chuyan wanted to pay but found she didn¡¯t have her wallet. Apologetically, she walked up to the restaurant owner and said, ¡°Sorry, my friend went out to buy something and hasn¡¯te back. I forgot my money. Can you give me an IOU? I will bring the money tomorrow.¡± The restaurant owner looked at her and said, ¡°Forget it, the money doesn¡¯t matter! It¡¯s on me today.¡± He had been standing not far away, all the time, listening to her speak. He was totally amazed! How much courage such ady needs to survive. ¡°Thank you.¡± Hearing this, Gu Chuyan bowed to him, then walked out to find Yao Rong. She saw Yao Rong running towards her, holding a drink and a takeout container. ¡°I went to buy your favorite crawfish. Let¡¯s go home and eat! It¡¯s too conspicuous here.¡± Yao Rong was panting since she had run quite a distance to make the purchase. Standing there, watching Yao Rong hurry back, Gu Chuyan felt a familiar warmth in her heart. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go home and feast.¡± Gu Chuyan said. Suddenly, a few motorcycles rode towards them from a distance. Seeing them swinging metal rods, it was evident they meant no good. Gu Chuyan was terrified. She ran over, calling out, ¡°Yao Rong, move away, move away?¡¯ One of them was swinging the metal rod towards Yao Rong¡¯s head. Gu Chuyan was horrified. She rushed over and tightly hugged Yao Rong. Seeing the metal rod swing towards her back, she closed her eyes. Suddenly, from the dark, two figures rushed out, kicked, and sent the motorcycles flying. The motorcycle was hit, careening into the air before crashing into another one. ¡°Stop.¡± Seeing this, the other two rushed and attacked them, but these two figures reacted with lightning speed and grabbed their rods, hitting them hard. The men on the bikes fell off and copsed onto the ground. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Yao Rong asked with a hint of terror in her voice. Gu Chuyan helped Yao Rong up and shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She turned back and looked at the two figures. They had jumped out from seemingly nowhere. She didn¡¯t know who they were¡­ ¡°A motorcycle gang? Aren¡¯t motorcycles banned here?¡± Yao Rong asked curiously. That move before was really dangerous! If the metal rod had hit the back of her head, she could have died. Gu Chuyan, disregarding her own safety, threw herself over Yao Rong, which moved her greatly. ¡°It might be because of me.¡± She said quietly. A lot has happened recently, and she didn¡¯t believe in coincidences anymore. Too many people wanted her dead. ¡°Did Gu Yan hit you?¡± Yao Rong noticed that Gu Chuyan¡¯s mood was a bit off. ¡°No, I just¡­ I want to cut off ties with him! He was upset and left.¡± She said, as if distancing herself from the matter. Hearing her say this, Yao Rong felt a pang of sympathy for her. The two bodyguards efficiently handled the situation. One drove the car forward while the other threw the unconscious men into the car, and they drove away, obviously not wanting her to know too much. ¡°Who are they¡­?¡± Gu Chuyan wanted to walk over, but they jumped into the car and disappeared from sight. The appearance of these people was too abrupt, like a scene from a movie, making people puzzled whether it was real or not.. Chapter 54 - 74: Cannot Show Weakness Chapter 54: Chapter 74: Cannot Show Weakness Trantor: 549690339 Yao Rong looked in the direction the car had left, a hint of confusion in her heart. ¡°Why have people been targeting youtely? Should we call the police?¡± On hearing this, Gu Chuyan reached out to squeeze Yao Rong¡¯s cheek, staring at her earnest expression. She said, ¡°If calling the police worked, why would we need bodyguards?¡± They both stood in the middle of the road, looking at each other, each deep in thought. Everyone had been frightened by what had just happened, but they were all trying hard to remain calm, afraid that if they panicked, the others would too. Suddenly, there was a screech from not far away, and a sedan was racing towards them. The car was moving incredibly fast, heading straight for the two of them. Startled, Gu Chuyan instinctively stepped in front of Yao Rong, but Yao Rong pulled her back. The scraping sound of the tires against the road was so sharp it pierced the ear. The blinding light hit their eyes, causing Gu Chuyan to raise her hand to shield them, just as the car hit her. Just when it was only lcm away from Gu Chuyan, the car halted. The takeaway boxes on the ground had been run over by the car. The crayfish inside had been crushed, and the spicy seasoning had spilled out, red like blood. The car door opened, and a figure emerged ¨C dressed in ck leather shorts paired with red high heels, a leather jacket, and a pair of ck sunsses. She stepped out elegantly, her high heels clicking against the pavement. She swayed her hips and walked towards Gu Chuyan, removing her sunsses as she approached. Gu Miaoting stifle the difort in her body. (The author scorned her: ¡°Not suffering from bowel difort now?¡± Gu Miaoting raised her hand to p him. ¡°If not for you, would I be in such a dire situation?¡±) ¡°Enjoying this?¡± Gu Miaoting¡¯s voice pulled them back to reality. Upon seeing her, Yao Rong flew into a rage. She pushed forward and shoved Gu Miaoting back. ¡°Gu Miaoting, have you no shame? Why do you keep framing Chuyan?¡± ncing at Yao Rong¡¯s hand, Miaoting grabbed her wrist, ¡°Tsk tsk, such an ugly hand, and you dare to push me?¡± With that, she pushed Yao Rong back a step. Upon seeing her, Gu Chuyan took a few deep breaths while staring intently at her face. Tonight when she had cornered Xie Tianli, it was Miaoting¡¯s voice on the other end of the phone call she had made with Xie Tianli¡¯s cell phone. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that, Chuyan? Stop pretending to be innocent!¡± Gu Miaoting red at her with her sinister, dark eyes, as if she wanted to tear Chuyan apart. She had someone look into it but they couldn¡¯t find out who did it! She suspected that it had to be Chuyan¡¯s doing. Who else would dare go against her? ¡°Do you know why I didn¡¯t run you over? I enjoy this feeling, seeing you angry, watching you in pain! Watching you enviously as your father dotes on me, while you can¡¯t get a shred of his attention!¡± Gu Chuyan looked up at her smiling face. ¡°What¡¯s that? You can¡¯t take it? Then hit me!¡± Gu Miaoting said, but did not continue. A smile crept onto Chuyan¡¯s face as she raised her hand and pped Miaoting¡¯s face twice. There was a clear smack each time. ¡°You¡­ You actually dared to hit me?¡± Miaoting was in disbelief. In her mind, Chuyan was always a reserved and dignified woman who would nevery a hand on her. ¡°Yes, I pped you! How does it feel, it hurts, right?¡± Chuyan grabbed her arm fiercely, pinching her skin firmly. Thinking back to a week before, when Miaoting had deliberately provoked her at the caf¨¦, leading her to the edge of life and death. This woman¡¯s tricks were utterly shameless. It made one¡¯s teeth itch with anger, yet one was helpless to retaliate.. Chapter 55 - 75: Not Leaving Anything for Her Chapter 55: Chapter 75: Not Leaving Anything for Her Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Good! You should feel pain! From now on, it can only get worse.¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯s voice was chilling, like the calm before a storm. Yao Rong, seeing this, stepped forward to pull Gu Chuyan away. However, Gu Chuyan extended her hand, brushed her off, and said in a low voice, ¡°Yao Rong, I am dealing with some family matters. Some things need to be cleared up.¡± Gu Miaoting was stunned seeing her like this for the first time. She was ustomed to bullying Gu Chuyan over the years! In the Gu Family, her words werew, and apart from the title of mistress, she was superior to Gu Chuyan in almost every way! But Chuyan¡¯s gaze towards her was gradually changing, turning her respect into defiance. ¡°You seem to be feeling quite smug, Gu Miaoting.¡± Gu Chuyan stepped forward, cing her hand on her shoulder. Gu Miaoting wanted to brush it off but was forcibly pinned down. Gu Chuyan took another step forward, their bodies pressing together. She was smirking devilishly. Chuyan¡¯s fingertips slowly rose to touch Miaoting¡¯s chin. Her lips brushing against Miaoting¡¯s ear, she whispered, ¡°If you¡¯re enjoying it so much, how about we y a more exciting game, eh?¡± Gu Miaoting was startled and could hardly react. She was kicked and fell to her knees in pain. ¡°Ahh, Gu Chuyan, you dare to hit me? Let go! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make your death even uglier.¡± Gu Miaoting was hit, kneeling on the ground in pain, still defiant. Yao Rong stood there, dumbstruck. She gave Gu Chuyan a thumbs up, suggesting, ¡°Chuyan, need a hand? Let¡¯s thrash this jerk! Give her a taste of her own medicine.¡± She was itching to go, almost pouncing on her. ¡°Yao Rong, pick up the crayfish for me.¡± Gu Chuyanmanded, her gaze fixed on the pile of red creatures on the ground while she pulled up Gu Miaoting. She didn¡¯t know where her strength wasing from, but seeing Gu Miaoting, she felt energized, a desire to give her a good thrashing. ¡°Sure.¡± Yao Rong said, walking over and picking up the crayfish from the ground. Gu Miaoting¡¯s hair was disheveled, and she looked like a pathetic mess, like a madwoman. ¡°Learn your lesson!¡± Yao Rong said, and gave her a kick. Snatching her bag, she threw it onto the roof- her car keys were in it. With a tter, the car keys fell and were caught in a tree branch. ¡°Let¡¯s go, quickly.¡± Gu Chuyan said, grabbing Yao Rong¡¯s arm and starting to jog. After running a few steps, Gu Chuyan had a thought. She turned back and picked up several crayfish. Seeing Gu Miaoting lying on the ground, she smirked mischievously. Tossing the crayfish at Gu Miaoting, she never imagined she would have the day where she¡¯d be petrified by¡­ crayfish. Gu Miaoting crouched on the ground, coughing incessantly, tears streaming down her face! She was actually hit by Gu Chuyan? She couldn¡¯t ept this, but her mouth hurt and she was shivering in the cold. ¡°Ahhhh.¡± She wanted to infuriate Gu Chuyan, but did not expect that these two women would darey their hands on her. ¡°You dare hit me? Gu Chuyan, Yao Rong, you just wait.¡± She picked herself up, retrieved her bag, and started cleaning her mouth with a tissue.. Chapter 56 - 76: Looking Down on Her Chapter 56: Chapter 76: Looking Down on Her Trantor: 549690339 She clutched her aching body, looking at the crayfish on the ground, feeling nauseous. ¡°To hell with your crayfishes.¡± Gu Miaoting lifted her foot, ready to step on the crayfish. As she lifted her foot, she suddenly felt something wasn¡¯t right. ¡°Ah.¡± As she stepped down, the head of a crayfish poked the soles of her feet, and her shoe¡­actually broke! Always craving for brand names, she asionally bought knock-offs, never realizing that their quality was even worse than street market goods. She held her aching body, ready to return by car. She could vaguely see that from not too far away, someone was heading her way. Gu Miaoting turned around, wanting to get her car keys, as she saw two people drawing nearer. ¡°You,e here! I¡¯ll give you a hundred bucks to get my keys for me,¡± said Gu Miaoting arrogantly, reaching for her purse, only to realize it was gone. Her expression grew even more unsightly. The two people she shouted at were gawking at her with greed written all over their faces. A chill went down her spine as she saw them staring at her, causing Gu Miaoting to step back half a step. ¡°Gu Chuyan, you¡¯re going to pay for this.¡± The only fear she had was losing face! She¡¯s the heiress of the Gu family! No matter how embarrassing the situation, she always had to maintain her elegant poised image. At that moment, two drunken men, their bodies swaying from having drunk too much, heard a woman¡¯s voice. They staggered towards Gu Miaoting. The two men grabbed Gu Miaoting¡¯s wrists, leaning closer to examine her beautiful face, with lewd grins on their faces. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± she asked, startled. Now, Gu Miaoting tried to run, but they blocked her path. The men reeked of alcohol, the scent nauseatingly strong. ¡°You disgusting beggars! Scram, or I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll never see the light of day again.¡± Gu Miaoting snarled. In her position, she looked down on everyone. Gu Miaoting lifted her foot, attempting to kick them back, but they caught her wrists. ¡°Let go! You wretches, let me go, Gu Yan is my rtive! Dare move against me, and I will make sure you all die.¡± She yed her trump card. Upon hearing she was a rtive of Gu Yan, the two menughed even more uncontrobly. ¡°Haha, seems like we¡¯re going to get lucky.¡± They taunted, spitting on her face. At this moment, a light rain began to fall. The two drunken men turned to leave, whistling as they went, clearly in great spirits. Gu Miaoting was her pride and joy, having faced such humiliation, she could not remain idle! On East Street, Gu Chuyan and Yao Rong ran quite a distance, both panting under a streetmp. ¡°Haha, this feels great! Let¡¯s see if she dares to bully you again.¡± Yao Rong made a fist and extended it for a bump. Gu Chuyan reached out, grabbing her fist: ¡°Don¡¯t stick up for me again! I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll get hurt.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sticking up for you, I can¡¯t stand her smug face, bragging about doing something bad.¡± Yao Rong, the tomboy. Just then, a ck Rolls-Royce was driving towards them. The vehicle stopped not too far away. Gu Chuyan recognized the license te¡­wasn¡¯t it Xiao Mohan¡¯s car? ¡°Boss.¡± At that moment, Han Changqing got out of the car and opened the car door. Inside the car, a tall and imposing man gracefully made his way out. The dim streetlight scattered onto his body, illuminating his handsome, chiseled face. He screamed ofmanding authority, making people feel oppressed. He strode towards them withrge steps. Xiao Mohan walked up, took off his jacket, and draped it over her body. ¡°I¡¯m here to take you home,¡± said Xiao Mohan with a deep voice, raising his hand to stroke her long hair.. Chapter 57 - 78: Remember to Leave a Base Chapter 57: Chapter 78: Remember to Leave a Base Trantor: 549690339 Yao Rong stood there, staring at him in surprise, blinking repeatedly. She rubbed her eyes, and sure enough, Xaio Mohan was standing right by her side. ¡°This can¡¯t be the guy you were talking about, can it? OMG, how can he be this handsome?¡± Yao Rong trotted over, circled around Xiao Mohan twice, excitedly hugged Gu Chuyan¡¯s arm, and whispered, ¡°You¡¯ve got great taste, he¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say such things.¡± Gu Chuyan blushed as she responded. Yao Rong winked at her and whispered, ¡°Make sure to seize this opportunity, go for it! I¡¯m leaving so I won¡¯t interrupt your flirting.¡± ¡°Yao Rong.¡± Chuyan turned around, but Yao Rong had already run off. Yao Rong waved as she jogged, ¡°It¡¯s just a few steps away, no need to see me off. Take care.¡¯ ¡°Your good friend?¡± Xiao Mohan drew her into his embrace, nced in the direction Yao Rong had departed, then looked down and asked. ¡°Yes, she¡¯s very good to me.¡± Chuyan whispered in reply. Xiao Mohan listened, then nodded slightly, ¡°When there¡¯s a chance, invite her over to our ce.¡± His words were as if he was giving Yao Rong free ess to his vi. ¡°Really?¡± Gu Chuyan asked, clearly surprised. Xiao Mohan drew her closer and whispered, ¡°At home, you¡¯re in charge! As long as they¡¯re good to you, I have no objections.¡± Upon hearing his words, she wrapped her arms around his, ¡°Thank you.¡± At that moment, a light rain started to fall. He shielded her within his embrace, blocking the raindrops. Then, Han Changqing approached and began speaking to him. He¡¯d just received a call about something particrly interesting, and he wanted to share it with Xiao Mohan. ¡°Master, should we intervene?¡± Han Changqing asked seriously. He¡¯d just received a report, and the woman who was troubling Gu Chuyan had been¡­ Xiao Mohan listened, then quietly replied, ¡°No need.¡± As he spoke, it seemed as if he¡¯d thought of something, and he told Han Changqing, ¡°Leave some of it.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Han Changqing responded, and made a call to pull his men back. Inside the vehicle, Gu Chuyan remained silent, feeling the freezing aura spreading off Xiao Mohan. She shrunk into herself, and then he lifted her into his arms and stepped into the car. ¡°Yes.¡± She responded. Xiao Mohan remained silent, but his grip around her tightened slightly. He looked down at her and said, ¡°Even if it¡¯s him, I won¡¯t allow him to hurt you.¡± ¡°Xiao Mohan.¡± She leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder, ¡°I want to sleep for a while.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± He lifted his hand, easing her into his arms, naturally wrapping his arm around her. Watching her small face, he reached over to his phone and sent a message. Upon returning to the Xiao Family¡¯s vi, Gu Chuyan dried her hair, constantly looking at the door. She didn¡¯t see him until she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open. She got up and walked out. ¡°Xiao Mohan, are you home?¡± She called out softly. Unfortunately, therge mansion was utterly empty. She walked to the door of the study room, knocked, and found no one answering. Bored, she returned to her room, pushed open the ss door, and stood on the balcony. ¡°Hiss.¡± She vaguely heard a noise, and as she looked out¡­ She saw someone climbing up from below the balcony. She instinctively reached out, giving the intruder a hard push! After finally climbing up, Wen Shui was pushed off by her. ¡°Thud.¡± He fell on the grass, and gasping with pain on the ground, he looked up at the shadow on the balcony. Wen Shui slowly got up, rubbing his aching arm.. Chapter 58 - 79: Midnight Chapter 58: Chapter 79: Midnight Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Is that you?¡± Gu Chuyan was a bit surprised. Why was he sneaking around? He climbed back up, jumping onto the balcony and ncing at her. ¡°Miss me?¡± ¡® Gu Chuyan stared at him silently. Wen Shui¡¯s soft and beautiful features were incredibly handsome, especially his elongated ck eyes. They were like peach blossoms, gently blinking, as if flirting! His thin, pink lips moved slightly, like peach petals¡­ ¡°Seduced by me?¡± he asked. Gu Chuyan took a half step back as he deliberately leaned in and teased, ¡°Have you given it a thought? My family is rich and influential! Being unmarried and marrying me is better than being with Xiao Mohan.¡± She stood there, her clear ck eyes looking at him. A faint smile crossed her lips as she said softly, ¡°You and Xiao Mohan are good brothers, I know! You don¡¯t need to test me, whether it¡¯s you or someone else! For me, there are no possibilities to speak of.¡± ¡°Xiao Mohan treats me very well, I, Gu Chuyan, will never let him down in this lifetime!¡± Gu Chuyan stated confidently. As she spoke, she broke intoughter. Listening to this, Wen Shui was stunned! It was as if his intentions had been seen through. ¡°However, I¡¯m d for him that he has a brother like you.¡± Gu Chuyan looked at Wen Shui and said, their way of getting along was quite odd! But Wen Shui was actually considering for Xiao Mohan, constantly testing her. He seemed to be flirting, but in reality, he wanted to know what sort of person she was. ¡°Bah! You¡¯re talking nonsense, I have no idea what you¡¯re talking about.¡± Wen Shui said, turning around and arrogantly sliding down, jumping off directly. Just as Wen Shui¡¯s feet touched the ground, inexplicably, two bodyguards appeared from the shadows, rushed in, covered his mouth, dragged him by the arm, carried him to the wall, and threw him off from there. With a ¡°plop¡±, Wen Shui was caught on a tree branch. His face turned pale, a gust of wind blew several times, and he fell from the tree. With a ¡°ssh¡±, he fell into a pool of water and crawled up,pletely covered in filth. During the night, in some vi in S City. A luxurious Rolls-Royce was heading towards a particr vi. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± At that moment, a hidden guard rushed out, blocking the way, his face serious, like he was facing a formidable enemy. Han Changqing lowered the car window, leaned out, and said, ¡°It¡¯s Master Xiao.¡± ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Hearing this, the guard immediately stepped aside, and the Rolls-Royce smoothly drove in. Xiao Mohan sat in the back seat, ncing at the people outside the car window with a smirk at the corner of his mouth. When the car stopped, he personally pushed open the car door and got out. Han Changqing held an umbre and followed behind him. Every ten meters, there were four hidden guards standing guard, making the area imprable. A set of steps led to the hall, turned to a corridor, and went straight to the second floor. ¡°Master Xiao, please.¡± At that moment, a man in a suit was standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time. ¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Mohan responded. Han Changqing closed the umbre, handed it to the man, and followed Xiao Mohan up the stairs. Even in the small attic above, there were people on guard, fearing a sudden enemy attack! ¡°Ya.¡± Han Changqing pushed the door open, Xiao Mohan took big strides and entered, raising his hand to adjust his sleeves, looking rxed. In the spacious European-style bedroom, the warm yellow light was hazy but illuminated the entire room. Xiao Mohan took long strides to the huge bed. Seeing the person on the bed with their eyes closed, obviously asleep, he went to one side and sat on a chair. ¡°I heard from Wen Shui that you were seriously injured.¡± Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice, his sharp eyes staring at the man¡¯s face as if he could see something from it.. Chapter 59 - 80: Grandpa Xiao Arrives Chapter 59: Chapter 80: Grandpa Xiao Arrives Trantor: 549690339 Hearing his voice, he turned his head towards him, somewhat surprised, ¡°Mr. Xiao, why did youe personally?¡± Xiao Mohan sat on the mahogany chair, his back upright, looking down at the man on the bed. ¡°Mr. Hei is injured, it¡¯s only right for me toe,¡± Xiao Mohan said softly, creating a distance between them. Upon hearing this, the man on the bed could no longer lie down and struggled to climb up. ¡°Mr. Xiao, did Mr. Hei do something wrong?¡± Mr. Hei tried to sit up, suppressing the pain from his injuries and sitting at the edge of the bed, looking respectful yet uneasy. Xiao Mohan was sitting in the chair, shooting him a nce before standing up slowly and walking over to him, supporting his arm: ¡°If your injuries are serious, then just lie down.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Overwhelmed, Mr. Hei allowed Xiao Mohan to help him lie down. Heid on the bed feeling somewhat uneasy. Xiao Mohan¡¯s gaze swept over him,nding on something next to his pillow. Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l? He looked at the texture and the corner of his mouth curved up in a cold smile. ¡°I heard you personally funded Mr. Gu? Hmm?¡± Xiao Mohan asked in a deep voice. He had nned to ckmail Gu Yan, but this guy surprisingly started interfering in his business as soon as he set foot in S City. Hearing about this, Mr. Hei seemed to realise something, ¡°Could it be, that incident¡­¡± ¡°Recover well, I will send someone to assist you! If you encounter any difficulties, just let them handle it! Your health is your primary concern. You shouldn¡¯t overwork yourself.¡± For once, Xiao Mohan was verbose. ¡°Yes, I will follow Mr. Xiao¡¯s instructions,¡± Mr. Hei said. Xiao Mohan extended his hand, pressing on his shoulder, and giving him a stern look, ¡°Rest well.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Mr. Hei responded. Xiao Mohan stood up, looked at the clock on the wall, and said in a maic voice, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Once you recover, we¡¯ll meet up for a drink.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Mr. Hei agreed. Han Changqing walked over, covered him with a nket, and politely nodded his head at him as a greeting. Then he followed Xiao Mohan and left quietly. Back in the vi. Xiao Mohan closed his eyes. He had lived for 28 years, but ever since he met Gu Chuyan, he¡­ ¡°Hiss.¡± He painfully got up and walked towards the bathroom. The sound of rushing water was heard as he took a cold shower on this cold winter day. Gu Chuyan stirred, falling off the bed and onto the floor. As she was gathering her pillow, she saw Xiao Mohan walking out of the bathroom, his face extremely pale. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± She hurriedly dropped her pillow and walk barefooted over to him. Xiao Mohan was wearing a ck silk robe, his hair still dripping wet. His messy hair added to his arrogant demeanor. The loosely tied robe was incredibly charming. ¡°Bang.¡± Before he could speak to her, seeing her clear apricot eyes, he rushed back into the bathroom and closed the door. The sound of rushing water came from inside, and Gu Chuyan nkly stood outside the door, staring at the ss door and wondering if Xiao Mohan was possessed. Xiao Mohan took a cold shower to calm himself down. When he opened the door, he saw her standing there, her innocent eyes staring at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Mohan turned around and, like the wind, rushed passed her. ¡°You should rest early, I still have some things to take care of. I¡¯ll sleep in the study tonight!¡± Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice was hoarse. His deep, silent ck eyes swept over her pretty face as he left. Upon seeing this, Gu Chuyan rubbed her tummy, put on her shoes, and ran into the kitchen to find two slices of cake. After eating one, her mood became very cheerful. ¡°Should I give him a midnight snack?¡± She said as she ced a slice on a te and took it upstairs.. Chapter 60 - 84 Xiao Mohan, Don ‘t Be Sad Chapter 60: Chapter 84 Xiao Mohan, Don ¡®t Be Sad Trantor: 549690339 She knocked gently on the study door, the door opened automatically as she cautiously walked in, holding a small cake. The study was filled with dim light beneath its sumptuous, ssical d¨¦cor. She continued walking in while holding the cake. In a corner, on a turn-around sofa, a man in a robe was sitting. His body was slender, with legs stylishly perched up. His white, long fingers were elegantly holding a ss of red wine, swaying the ss so the liquid followed the edge, forming an appealing swirl. ¡°Do you want a piece of cake?¡± She offered the cake to him, kneeling before him, holding it in front of his face twinkling at him. ¡°Boom.¡± At the mention of ¡°cake¡±, Xiao Mohan felt a shiver down his spine. His dark and deep gaze was like a pond, unfathomable. Locking eyes with him, Gu Chuyan found herself beingpletely captivated. ¡°Then allow me to tell you,¡± Xiao Mohan¡¯s voice was hoarse¡­ ¡°Gu Chuyan.¡± The man called her name with his husky voice. He had lived for 28 years and faced life and death, yet never before had he been so infatuated. Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l? He felt as if he could find his own shadow in her, something he never possessed before. ¡°I¡­¡± His husky voice intoxicated her, she looked at him cautiously, clearly feeling a bit unnatural. In his presence, her beauty was akin to a blooming peach blossom, so perfect¡­ ¡°Gu Chuyan.¡± Xiao Mohan heard her stifled moan, his eyes suddenly darkened, his gazeplicatedly fixed on Gu Chuyan. Looking at her clear almond eyes, her helpless expression, Xiao Mohan abruptly sat up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I lost control,¡± he muttered, reaching for a lighter, intending to light a cigar. His hand was trembling. After several unsessful attempts at lighting the cigar, he left it aside and sprawled out on the couch, trying to calm himself down by rubbing his forehead. ¡°I¡¯m sorry if I scared you just now!¡± Xiao Mohan turned around and whispered, afraid of startling her. Looking at her dazed and helpless eyes, he reached out to draw her into his arms, his chin resting on her head, ¡°I¡¯m deeply sorry for losing control, but rest assured, it won¡¯t happen again, trust me.¡± He never would have thought that after living a simple and restrained life for 28 years, he would lose control to such a degree. He must be going crazy, he thought. ¡°Are you¡­ feeling unwell?¡± Gu Chuyan hesitated for a while, before finally asking. Leaning against him, her hands were still shaking. She inched away, and he thought she was rejecting his apology. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, Xiao Mohan.¡± Her head rested on his chest while her small hand patted his back, seeminglyforting him. Xiao Mohan felt her little hand patting him and listened to her words. Gu Chuyan looked up, her small hands raised, looking at his handsome face filled with guilt, her fingertips smoothed out his creased brows. ¡°It¡¯s alright, we¡¯ll work harder in the future! I heard this disease is not that hard to treat, you¡¯ll get better.¡± She spoke, afraid that he was feeling inferior, she then jumped down from his arms and in her slippers, jogged out of the room. Once outside, she leaned against the wall catching her breath.. Chapter 61 - 85: She Misunderstood Chapter 61: Chapter 85: She Misunderstood Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Gu Chuyan, you¡¯ve got this. You must find a way to cure him!¡± She said softly. After putting on her shoes, she returned to her bedroom. As shey on the bed, she felt a warm sweetness in her heart. Logically speaking, he was a stranger to her, but she didn¡¯t find him repulsive. On the contrary, she was drawn to him in an inexplicable way. ¡°Gu Chuyan, stop thinking about it.¡± She whispered, pulling the covers over herself. In the study, Xiao Mohan watched her spirited figure, his body suddenly stirring as if electrified, and he stood up abruptly. ¡°Xiao Mohan, when I earn seven figures, I will hire all the specialist doctors to treat you.¡± Her words echoed in his ears. He leaned his hand against his forehead. Did she think he was infertile? Why did she have this misconception? Where did it all go wrong? ¡°Ring¡± An eerie bell rang inside the vi. Xiao Mohan paused and then strode out the door. Gu Chuyan had not slept well. Under her dark circles, the wound on her forehead was looking better after applying the medicine. She sat on the bed, running a hand through her hair. ¡°Since I don¡¯t have to go to school for now, should I take up temporary work?¡± She thought and got up to get dressed. After changing into a sweater and leggings, brushing up and stepping outside, she found that both Xiao Mohan and Han Changqing were absent. Just then, a figure appeared blocking her path. ¡°Huh.¡± Startled, she retreated half a step, her heart pounding. The man, standing politely in front of her asked, ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you nning to go out?¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°I am your driver,¡± he said, holding out car keys, asking her to go downstairs and offering to drive her downtown. As Gu Chuyan stood by the side of the road, biting her lip, a piece of paper fluttered down in front of her. ¡°Temporary work wanted.¡± She picked up the paper and scanned it, noting that there was a theater group needing stand-ins, offering 500 yuan a day, meals, and transport included. She pulled out her phone and made a call. The other side, desperate for personnel and not requiring an interview, told her to wait 5 minutes for a driver to pick her up and deliver her to the film city once she confirmed she could endure hardship. Gu Chuyan was visiting a film set for the first time and quickly realised that the life of a movie star was not as morous as she had imagined. ¡°Gu Chuyan?¡± Just then, a field producer walked over and peered at her before asking. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me,¡± she replied, radiating a warm smile. The man checked a box on his notepad and told her, ¡°Go and change. Five minutester, you need to jump off that cliff over there.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Gu Chuyan, looking at the rock in question, felt that the jump wouldn¡¯t be much of a problem given it wasn¡¯t too high. ¡°Very good.¡± The man patted her shoulder before turning away to manage the rest of the personnel. Gu Chuyan donned a white ancient-style dress, her long hair flowing loosely over her shoulders. Without makeup, she still exuded a pure and ethereal beauty. With every step, an aura seemed to radiate from her that held people¡¯s gaze. This was a mountain, shrouded in an almost mystical mist. She fit perfectly, as if she was meant to reside here. ¡°Who is she?¡± ¡°I heard she¡¯s an extra.¡± As the whispers about Gu Chuyan arose, she paid them no mind. Dressed in the thin, ancient-style robe, she was a bit cold. She took her ce on the rock, the camera pointed at her back. ¡°Action.¡± The director sat, staring at her figure, and he too, was momentarily stunned.. Chapter 62 - 86: Extra in a Show Chapter 62: Chapter 86: Extra in a Show Trantor: 549690339 This figure, from her posture to actions, is absolutely spot on! She is even more enigmatic than the main actor, causing the director to take note of her name. Gu Chuyan slightly turns her head, her profile facing the camera. The cold wind disrupts her hair and white robe. She closes her eyes and leans forward, her body gently falling like a leaf in the wind. ¡°OK.¡± The director was surprised by her fearlessness as she just turned around and jumped. After reviewing it once more, he said contentedly: ¡°Next scene.¡± There were many people on site and no one noticed Gu Chuyan¡¯s condition. Everyone had shifted to the battlefield. As Gu Chuyan jumped off, her body was held up by the wind, slowly falling down. Though the altitude wasn¡¯t that high, it felt like she had been falling for a really long time. ¡°Thud.¡± Shended heavily on the ground. The pain forced her eyes open. The surroundings were pitch dark, no longer the fairy tale mountainside from before. The darkness was hazy. She heard the sound of flowing water and felt a chilly wind blow past. She saw something white not too far away. She climbed up, wanting to get a closer look. ¡°Snap.¡± She felt a painful sensation on her buttocks, as if something had kicked her, sending her flying! Gu Chuyan, frightened, started to shiver. ¡°Snap.¡± She fell heavily once again, her arm scraping against weeds. At this moment, someone ran towards her. On seeing her, he sighed with relief and said: ¡°Chuyan, quickly prepare for the second time, everyone is waiting for you.¡± Due to Gu Chuyan¡¯s dy, the director was very pleased with her silhouette. As a result, he quickly asked her to prepare for the second scene quickly. ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Chuyan sat dazedly on the ground, feeling as if she had just awoken from a dream! Did she hallucinate out of fear from leaping down from that height? Thinking it over, she shook her head, stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Coo coo coo.¡± At this moment, something grabbed hold of the hem of her skirt. Looking down, she saw a fluffy little creature clenching onto her skirt. She crouched down and carefully disentangled the creature¡¯s ws from her skirt, then gently felt the top of its head: ¡°Where did youe from, little ¡°Coo coo coo.¡± The creature lifted its head, rubbing itself against her. Gu Chuyan cradled its face, looked at it, and to her surprise, said: ¡°A baby fox?¡± The baby foxid on the ground, looking at her pitifully! Apparently, it had just been born. Its weak and fluffy body was incredibly adorable. ¡°Hurry back, don¡¯t let people see you!¡± she whispered, picking it up and cing it inside the grassy bushes nearby. She stood up and began to jog forward, ready to get back to work for the substitute performance. She did not notice, that the little creature had been watching her, slowly inching forward, and leisurely following behind her¡­ The director saw her approaching and got up to teach her personally. A stand-in¡¯s work is always tough! They have to engage in actualbat. She was kicked and thrown to the ground a few times, she had to get up and try again! For the third scene, she was hung mid-air in a fighting posture. It wasn¡¯t until 5 pm that filming ended! Gu Chuyan experienced the sensation of filming for the first time. Though she didn¡¯t show her face, she found it quite interesting. ¡°Gu Chuyan, this is your pay.¡± The field producer came over, handed her an envelope. Gu Chuyan got up, holding her waist as she took the envelope. He looked at her, asking: ¡°You didn¡¯t hurt your waist, did you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± she replied with a smile. She had fallen once, and it really hurt! But she felt very happy, as she only had to do it once, without any re-takes. Otherwise, she would have been exhausted.. Chapter 63 - 87: A Mouthful of Fresh Blood Spurts Out Chapter 63: Chapter 87: A Mouthful of Fresh Blood Spurts Out Trantor: 549690339 ¡°That¡¯s good then!¡± He said, turning to leave, but was stopped by Gu Chuyan who rushed forward to block his path. ¡°Is the money counted wrong? Isn¡¯t it 500?¡± She looked at the money in the envelope, which was clearly twice as much. Upon hearing her words, the man put away his pen, his hands behind his back, teasing her amusingly, ¡°What an interesting girl you are! Who would mind more money? Besides, you rushed two extra scenes today, all in one go. The director said he¡¯ll pay you more!¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Gu Chuyan said, thanking him upon hearing his words. She changed and boarded the production team¡¯s bus, heading back to S City! Feeling a bit tired, she sat in her seat, leaning her bag against something, looking at the time! It was just six o¡¯clock, and it would take until eight to reach the city center! Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. In the city, within the luxurious office of M Group, Xiao Mohan sat in an exquisite boss chair, his deep ck eyes gazing out of the window, at the setting sun¡¯s red glow staining the edge of the window¡­ ¡°Hello.¡± At this moment, his phone rang, and seeing it was his bodyguard, he answered. The bodyguard reported Gu Chuyan¡¯s movements for the day. Xiao Mohan listened, frowning slightly, his voice icy, ¡°She¡¯s working as a stand-in?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I see, give me the address.¡± He lifted his wrist, his handsome face slightly heavy. How could she, of all people, be doing something like stand-in work? Night fell, with the hazy night enveloping the earth, very mysterious. Xiao Mohan turned around, picked up his suit jacket and walked outside. ¡°Sir.¡± At that moment, Han Changqing walked in through the door. Seeing Han Changqing¡¯s return, he walked outside, Han Changqing following behind him, ¡°I found out why the Hei Family has been unusually quiet! After spending a night on stakeout, I found a servant. After asking around, I found out that they left the Hei Family house half a month ago, destination unknown.¡± ¡°S City is getting more and more lively it seems.¡± Xiao Mohan listened as Han Changqing spoke, seemingly unsurprised. ¡°While checking departure and entry records, I found that recently, a group of people has been smuggled into S City, but so far we¡¯ve been unable to trace their whereabouts.¡± Han Changqing said. Xiao Mohan listened, saying nothing, pressing the elevator button. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the movie city.¡± He hurriedly said, hoping to see her immediately. Han Changqing listened, with no objections, followed him. The two of them left in a luxury car after the elevator. Sitting in the back seat, Xiao Mohan, for some reason, felt a suffocating feeling in his chest. He tugged at his tie, but his whole body felt like it was on fire. ¡°Aqing, don¡¯t you feel hot?¡± ¡°No.¡± Han Changqing listened, respectfully answering. Looking at him in the rearview mirror, he hurriedly asked with concern, ¡°Sir, are you not feeling well?¡± Xiao Mohan sat in the back seat of the car, his handsome face turning pale, feeling a suffocating sensation in his chest. His fingertips tightly gripping the armrest, he felt something trying to surge out from his chest, he pressed his hand to his chest, ¡°Hmmp.¡± He tried to suppress his breathing, but unfortunately, his body seemed to be out of control. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, sshing onto the ss in front of him. ¡°Sir.¡± Han Changqing saw this, and his face went pale. He quickly stopped the car by the side of the road, went around to the back, and opened the door to help him. ¡°Sir, what happened? Are you injured somewhere?¡± Han Changqing was in a panic. Xiao Mohan¡¯s body trembled nonstop, his hands shaking. He punched a hole into the car seat, and said through gritted teeth, ¡°Call¡­ Call Wen Shui.¡± Cold sweat poured from his forehead, his body convulsing violently! His handsome face twisted in pain, his eyes filled with blood vessels, terrifyingly bloodthirsty.. Chapter 64 - 88: My Body Hurts Chapter 64: Chapter 88: My Body Hurts Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Grandfather, how could it be like this?¡± Han Changqing sends a message, asking Wen Shui toe here immediately! Just as he¡¯s finished making the call, he sees Xiao Mohan turning around, wanting to crash into the side, but striving to control himself! His hand grasps Han Changqing¡¯s wrist, and he says in a deep voice: ¡°Aqing, find someone, to fetch¡­. Find someone to pick up Gu Chuyan. Unfortunately, his body is in too much pain, as if the agony bursts from the marrow of his bones, messing up all his rationality and thoughts. He doesn¡¯t finish his sentence, the torment seems to invade every nerve. A few minutester, Wen Shuies over andys his hand on Han Changqing¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Just as he finishes speaking, he looks at the interior of the car along Han Changqing¡¯s body, and his face changes color. Without dy, he pushes Han Changqing aside and jumps into the car himself. ¡°How could it be like this?¡± As soon as he speaks, Xiao Mohan¡¯s body recoils and a spurt of hot blood spills all over him! ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Han Changqing is puzzled, Xiao Mohan¡¯s health has always been excellent! He¡¯d been injured before, but his internal injuries had long healed, so how could he deteriorate into this state? Upon seeing this, Wen Shui holds down Xiao Mohan¡¯s shoulder, and stretches out his hand to touch one side of his neck. ¡°This is bad.¡± Wen Shui¡¯s enchanting face is filled with fear! He forcefully tears open his shirt, only to see a red-golden dragon faintly visible on his chest! It seemed to be burned into his flesh, merged as a part of him. ¡°This, this is the Curse of the Xiao Family! Wen Shui, what should we do?¡± Han Changqing is staggered, fearfully looking at Xiao Mohan¡¯s body. As the color deepens, aplete dragon starts to visibly appear inside his body! Xiao Mohan¡¯s body temperature fluctuates wildly! It¡¯s as if his soul has beenpletely drained! He gropes for Wen Shui, wanting to tell him to fetch Gu Chuyan, but his body is beyond his control, and he can¡¯t utter a word. ¡°Quick, return to the Xiao Family.¡± Wen Shuiys his hand on Xiao Mohan¡¯s shoulder, speaking to Han Changqing. Han Changqing still hesitates slightly, Xiao Mohan dislikes going back to the Xiao Family. Over the years, he had always stayed away and never returned! But witnessing his current condition, they had no choice but to return. ¡°Understood.¡± Han Changqingplies, jumps into the driver¡¯s seat, starts the car, and drives away speedily. The dark night is like a crazed web, enveloping them! The atmosphere in the car is so oppressive that no one can catch a breath. The usually frivolous Wen Shui looks unusually grave at the moment. He stretches out his hand, wanting to knock Xiao Mohan out, but Xia Mohan forcefully shoves him aside. ¡°Bang!¡± Wen Shui¡¯s body ms heavily to one side and slides along the edge of the car! He holds his chest,ining with a wronged expression, ¡°You bastard, haven¡¯t you had enough of hitting me since we were children? If you hit me again, you¡¯ll have to take responsibility!¡± ¡°Smack.¡± Xiao Mohan frowns tightly. He throws a punch, hitting Wen Shui squarely in the face. Wen Shui¡¯s face changes dramatically, he¡¯s about to curse when Xiao Mohan grips his shoulder tightly, and grits his teeth, ¡°Go fetch, fetch Gu, Gu, Gu Chuyan.¡± His voice trembles as Wen Shui hears him and shouts at him, ¡°Save some breath. ¡± Han Changqing is driving, his hands shaking, but he continues to grasp the steering wheel firmly. ¡°Boom.¡± Suddenly, a cares crashing from the left at a crossroads! ¡°Screech.¡± Han Changqing¡¯s hand shakes, the car loses control, and heads towards the roadside. He forces the car back into control. The car is following closely behind them, and ahead, a truck is blocking the road, blocking their way. Damn it.¡± Seeing this, Wen Shui scrambles up in the car. A car is blocking them ahead and a chasing car behind them! The car behind them stops, and dozens of men in ck jump out from inside, armed and approaching their car. Bullets hit the car! Luckily, Xiao Mohan¡¯s car is bullet- and bomb-resistant! Chapter 65 - 89: Return to the Xiao Family Chapter 65: Chapter 89: Return to the Xiao Family Trantor: 549690339 Wen Shui reached out, taking a weapon from underneath the wheelchair seat and opening the car door: ¡°You, look after him.¡± ¡°Wen Shui.¡± Seeing this, Han Changqing turned and left the car too. Wen Shui bolted onto the car roof, his form swift like a swallow, brandishing his weapon. A silhouette appeared overhead and kicked him down. Wen Shui performed a mid-air flip, reached out with a hand, grabbing the man¡¯s leg and forcefully twisted! Breaking his leg! ¡°Ah.¡± The man screamed. Han Changqing rushed over and subdued two more. Meanwhile, men on the freight truck rushed towards them, tightening their encirclement and forcing them to retreat. One of them approached, opened the truck doors, and pointed a weapon at Xiao Mohan. ¡°Ah, bang.¡± Xiao Mohan, with his bloodthirsty gaze, red at the man while darting forward, forcefully wringing his neck. His entire body felt like it was on fire, as he sought to release his pain; clutching the man strongly, he mmed him into the ground. ¡°Sir,¡± Han Changqing maneuvered between the trucks, taking down two more men. ¡°Ah.¡± Xiao Mohan was in unbearable pain. He retreated, grabbing someone and flinging them several meters away. ¡°Pluck.¡± Unable to control his body, Xiao Mohan vomited a mouthful of hot blood. He knelt with one knee on the ground, trying to stay upright! Unfortunately, no matter how strong he was, he couldn¡¯t resist the pain his body was going through. He copsed heavily onto the ground. ¡°Sir,¡± Seeing this, Han Changqing rushed over and pounced to cover him! A bullet passed through his arm. Han Changqing grimaced in pain, carrying Xiao Mohan and retreating back into the truck! Wen Shui broke through the front, reaching out to grab one of the opponents by the crotch and twisting mercilessly. Blood gushed out from his pants. ¡°Ah.¡± The man looked down to find a bone-piercing pain travelling up his body as his weapon slipped from his grip! Several helicopters appeared. A rope fell down, and they saw a group of uniformed men jumping from the helicopter, their Mechaniluminescent Weapons sweeping across the scene. ¡°Wen Shui, get up! Hurry.¡± Han Changqing was anxious and dragged Wen Shui into the truck. Dozens of warriors let go of the cable on the helicopter and quickly blockaded the area, directly hoisting away the freight truck! With an injured arm, Han Changqing pulled off his tie, strongly binding his wound, jumped onto the driver¡¯s seat, and withstood the pain to drive away. ¡°Driving what? Switch to a ne.¡± Seeing this, Wen Shuished out a kick at him, roaring loudly. The man was almost on hisst breath, yet they wanted to drive back to the Xiao Family? He feared they wouldn¡¯t even make it halfway there before dying! ¡°But, the Xiao Family doesn¡¯t allow nes to get near.¡± Han Changqing replied. He understood Wen Shui¡¯s meaning, but he was worried that if they took a ne, it would be shot down before it got anywhere near. ¡°Get out.¡± Wen Shui said. He hugged Xiao Mohan, kicked open the car door, and strode out of the car. Seeing this, Han Changqing abandoned the car to catch up! For Xiao Mohan, they would bet their lives¡­ In the worst-case scenario, they could be brothers again in their next life. When Gu Chuyan returned to the city, it was already after eight o¡¯clock. After she got out of the car, she took her bag and went to look for the bodyguard in high spirits. Unfortunately, it seemed like he had disappeared! ¡°Oh, oh, oh.¡± At this moment, something moved in her bag, making a noise that startled her. She opened the bag to see a fluffy little creature inside, who seemed to have just woken up, squinting its eyes at her. It jumped out, trying to snuggle into her arms. Gu Chuyan reached out to catch it, opening it forcefully, saying: ¡°Howe you followed me? Trafficking in wild animals is illegal.¡± The little fox listened, burrowing into her arms. At this moment, her phone rang, and Gu Chuyan turned around to answer the call.. Chapter 66 - 90: Still Know How to Send a Gift Chapter 66: Chapter 90: Still Know How to Send a Gift Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Yao Rong, what¡¯s up? ¡°The Yao Family just sent over some food, so I thought I¡¯d bring some to you so you could share with your dream guy.¡± As Yao Rong said this, she quickly asked for her address. Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan looked at the street sign and told her the address. A few minutester, Yao Rong arrived by taxi, carrying a pretty bag and rushed towards her. ¡°Gu Chuyan.¡± Yao Rong waved at her from afar, huffing and puffing as she jogged over. Hearing a woman¡¯s voice, the little fox crawled out from Gu Chuyan¡¯s arms, staring at Yao Rong with sparkling, excited eyes. When she reached Gu Chuyan, she raised the bag and said, ¡°Here, I heard women be prettier after eating this!¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± Gu Chuyan stared nkly at Yao Rong, her face flushed with embarrassment. Truth be told, it was somewhat awkward for her to meet Xiao Mohan now! ¡°Awoo¡­.¡± Suddenly, a faint noise came from beside her, and Gu Chuyan hugged it tightly, shoring up her coat. Unexpectedly, the little fox crawled out from her cor, its two paws shielding its face as if it were shy. It then slowly moved its paws away, staring at Yao Rong. ¡°Chuyan, what is this?¡± Yao Rong leaned in to see a fluffy and chubby creature, which was very adorable. She reached out her finger, wanting to touch it. ¡°Shush.¡± Gu Chuyan made a gesture, checked their surroundings, then lowered her voice, ¡°I got a temp job today on a film set. I didn¡¯t expect to find a fox.¡± ¡°A fox? I thought it was a pet dog.¡± Hearing this, Yao Rong quickly withdrew her hand. A fox? As she recalled, the fox spirit in the ancient tales could bewitch people. The real-life foxes were perhaps no less intriguing! ¡°It seems to have just been born and gotten separated from its mother. I guess I¡¯ll keep it for a few days and then return it when I have the time,¡± Gu Chuyan said. If she were to abandon it on the road now, she was afraid someone might pick it up, kill it and skin it for fur. Looking at its adorable and harmless appearance, she found herself reluctant to let it go. Gu Chuyan led a lonely life, with Yao Rong being nearly her only friend. She wasn¡¯t close to her peers either. ¡°Let me have a look.¡± Yao Rong reached out to pick up the fluffy little critter. Unfortunately, it moved quickly, jumping up to crawl onto Gu Chuyan¡¯s shoulder, hiding behind her and refusing to budge. Yao Rong was stunned, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. ¡°Are you actually snubbing me? Would you like to be cooked and served as tonight¡¯s side dish?¡± The furry little creature crawled out and pounced on Yao Rong, one paw covering her lips and the other clutching her clothes. It hurt quite a bit. ¡°Hiss.¡± Yao Rong winced and tried to pry it off. However, the creature¡¯s w reached her face, scratching it a few times before disappearing back behind Gu Chuyan. ¡°Was I just teased?¡± Yao Rong stood there staring down nkly, taking a while to regain herposure. Was she just teased by a fox? That realization made her feel pretty hurt. ¡°Come here.¡± Gu Chuyanmanded, grabbing the little fox and holding it high in the air, its fat legs iling about. The little fox seemed to realize it was wrong and curled up, looking pitifully at her, lightly rubbing its little snout against her hand. ¡°Incredible! Such a tiny thing, and it knows how to act cute?¡± Yao Rong seemed to forget that she had just been teased. Upon seeing this, Gu Chuyan retracted her hand. The little fox jumped down,y on her chest, put its paws in front of its face and stared at her with its round eyes.. Chapter 67 - 91: Could it be male? Chapter 67: Chapter 91: Could it be male? Trantor: 549690339 Yao Rong suddenly jumped up and darted forward, but unfortunately, the little fox was extremely quick and burrowed into Gu Chuyan¡¯s arms right away. ¡°Could it be male?¡± Yao Rong let her imagination run wild. The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She leaned in close to examine Gu Chuyan¡¯s fair face, and asked in a low voice: ¡°It¡¯s not attracted to you, is it?¡± Gu Chuyan was taken aback. She reached out and poked Yao Rong¡¯s forehead: ¡°Yao Rong! You fujoshi, you¡¯ve been reading too many of those novels, your imagination is wild.¡± Upon hearing this, Yao Rong pouted: ¡°Alright, alright! Take good care of your darling! It¡¯s too cold, you should hurry back, or your rich guy will be worried.¡± What exactly was her rtionship with Xiao Mohan? She wasn¡¯t really clear on it herself! He had saved her a few times, treated her really well! Ensured her living expenses, and she¡­they even seemingly had a marriage certificate. ¡°What does blushing signify?¡± Noticing this, Yao Rong was all over it, not wanting to pass up this opportunity. ¡°Yao Rong,¡± Gu Chuyan pretended to be upset. Yao Rong backed away a few steps, called a cab, and after getting in, stuck her head out of the window to blow her a kiss: ¡°Hurry back!¡± Gu Chuyan was standing there as she gged down a taxi: ¡°Could you please take me to the mid-hillside, thank you.¡± ¡°Mid-hillside? Miss! Are you sure? Cars can¡¯t go up the mountain.¡± The driver frowned upon hearing this, clearly reluctant, but seeing that she was a youngdy alone, he relented: ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you to the foot, and you walk from there?¡± ¡°That works,¡± Gu Chuyan responded. The taxi dropped her off at the foot of the hill, and she walked towards the Xiao Family Pavilion in little steps. Behind her trailed a fluffy little thing, bouncing along, now and then darting into the bushes to catch bugs and asionally rolling out, keeping a distance from her. ¡°I must be crazy, actually bringing it back,¡± Gu Chuyanughed at her silliness. She was jogged before she realised how far it was to the mid-hillside. After walking for a full hour, she finally arrived! With her breathing in gasps, Gu Chuyan leaned against the wall to catch her breath before entering. The doors automatically opened and the lights in the hall came on, revealing an empty house. ¡°Xiao Mohan, I¡¯m home!¡± Excited, she ran upstairs hoping to see that familiar figure. Unfortunately, no matter where she looked in the entire mansion, she couldn¡¯t find him. She took off her coat, sat on the sofa, and picked up her cell phone to call him: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the number you have dialled is switched off.¡± After some thought, she tried calling Han Changqing. Also switched off! ¡°When are youing back?¡± She sent him a message then rummaged in her handbag. She pulled out 900 yuan (spent 100 on the taxi), held it high up. The light shone on the red notes, she kissed the money, jumped up to take a bath, came down to get some food! She waited tillte in the night, sleeping alone on the couch! The next day, he still wasn¡¯t back! His phone still off, the next two days, no sign of his presence, the fourth day, fifth day, the sixth day! An entire week passed, it was as if Xiao Mohan just evaporated from the face of the Mortal World! Gu Chuyan stood on the slope, overlooking the whole of S City. Yet for some reason, she felt an emptiness in her heart. No matter what she did, that emptiness just wouldn¡¯t fill up. ¡°Xiao Mohan, where on earth have you gone? Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want me anymore?¡± She fell on her knees on the ground, looking ahead in confusion. He had said that no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t leave her! Was he lying to her too? Gu Chuyan kept shaking her head, believing that Xiao Mohan wasn¡¯t that kind of person! Definitely not! Chapter 68 - 92, All Gone Chapter 68: Chapter 92, All Gone Trantor: 549690339 But they seemed to havepletely disappeared. Were it not for the existence of this mansion, she would have thought she was in a dream, and he was a figment of that dream! So clearly there, yet so unreal. The wind was strong, and at dusk, snow suddenly began to fall! She sat on the grass, growing more and more lonely. Atop the entire mountain, she was the only person! ¡°Xiao Mohan, have you run into trouble?¡± Gu Chuyan muttered, her heart raw with grief, as if pierced by something. She was so sad, so very sad. She had thought that she and him would be together for a lifetime! But why had he suddenly left? He left her, even abandoning his mansion. Gu Chuyan turned around and ran towards S City. She searched many ces, trying to find some trace of Xiao Mohan online but the man seemed to have vanished into thin air. Not a trace of him could be found¡­ ¡°Wen¡¯ange? Yes, I should go to Wen¡¯ange.¡± She remembered Xiao Mohan had mentioned it once. She could look for Wen Shui there. But, after several hours, she only found an empty courtyard resembling a pce. There was no one! Exhausted, Gu Chuyan leaned against a wall and slowly slid down to sit on the ground. Watching as the snow fell heavier, she felt hopeless, as if she¡¯d been abandoned. ¡°Mrs. Gu, I heard that recently, you¡¯re nning to sponsor a fundraising campaign for a poverty-stricken area, is that true?¡± ¡°Mrs. Gu, I heard that Miss Gu is nning to enter the entertainment industry, is that true?¡± At that moment, Lian Zhenzhen¡¯s face appeared on therge building¡¯s silver screen across the street. She was followed by bodyguards and looked radiant, the perfect picture of a ¡®Madame¡¯. Gu Chuyan stood up, watching this scene amidst the freezing wind. ¡°Mrs. Gu? Miss Gu?¡± Gu Chuyan muttered, finding the situation incredibly ironic! What on earth was going on in the world? She stood there, clutching her phone for a while, ¡°Hello, Yao Rong.¡± She took the initiative to call Yao Rong. Upon hearing her voice, Yao Rong was startled, ¡°Chuyan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if I could borrow someone.¡± ¡°who?¡± Gu Chuyan took a deep breath. Snowkes fell on her, but she didn¡¯t seem to feel the cold. She took a few steps forward, kicking at the snow beneath her feet. ¡°You mentioned before that your uncle is a private detective, right?¡± The video she just watched had been very upsetting. She had been pretending not to care about everything that had been happening, but the more she pretended, the more others tried to corner her, to break her. She couldn¡¯t continue like this. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s correct!¡± Yao Rong listened, puzzled, and wondering why she was asking this. ¡°Please have him look into both Gu Miaoting and Lian Zhenzhen. I want to know everything about them. The past, the present, everything! As for his fees, I¡¯ll pay him once I¡¯ve earned the money.¡± Gu Chuyan said. By how these women were now openly disying their ambitions, one could guess they might have had a plot in mind when they first moved into the Gu family home. ¡°Also, if possible, could he help me find out where my brother is?¡± Her voice was bitter, as if something was stuck in her throat, keeping her from speaking. ¡°Don¡¯t cry! Where are you? I¡¯lle to you.¡± Yao Rong sounded panicked upon hearing her distress. She tilted her head back, blinking rapidly, forcing herself to smile. ¡°I¡¯m okay! It¡¯s snowing now, don¡¯te out! I¡¯m going home.¡± ¡°Alright then, just be careful.¡± Yao Rong thought she was going to find Xiao Mohan, so she didn¡¯t insist any further. After hanging up the phone, Gu Chuyan put away her cell phone and moved forward, staggering a bit before realizing how extremely cold it was.. Chapter 69 - 93: Intend to Arrange a Marriage Alliance with Her Chapter 69: Chapter 93: Intend to Arrange a Marriage Alliance with Her Trantor: 549690339 From not far off, a pair of eyes were jeering at her figure. It¡¯s freeze as she walked forward. A ¡°ck ck¡± sound of high heels echoed in the frigid street, piercingly noticeable in the silence. She turned around subconsciously to catch sight of a tall, seductive figure sneaking forward cautiously. She nced back from time to time, appearing paranoid of being followed. ¡°Gu Miaoting?¡± Her keen eyes instantly recognized the person behind this figure. What was Gu Miaoting doing here dressed provocatively and sneaking around in the snow? The thought provoked Gu Chuyan to cautiously follow her. Perhaps it was her desperation to capture Gu Miaoting¡¯s wrongdoing, or maybe it was her desire for revenge¡ªshe was obsessed with following her. Gazing ahead, she saw Gu Miaoting turn a corner and vanish. Gu Chuyan stood still as the snow covered her footprints. Just as she turned to leave, a figure approached her from behind, mped a hand over her mouth, and began to drag her forward. ¡°Mmm!¡± She struggled incessantly, gripping the perpetrator¡¯s wrist with her slender hand. A sharp scent of perfume invaded her nostrils, making her gasp for air. Her nails dug into his wrist, wounding it as the man yelped in pain before shoving her aside. ¡°Ah.¡± She fell, hitting her knees hard on the ground and copsing from the pain. As she was about to get up, she heard the murmur of discussion. ¡°As long as you have S City¡¯s best interests in mind, not just three million but rather thirty million I can afford.¡± S city? She was especially sensitive to these words. Gu Chuyan went closer, through the dim light she saw two men sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard, talking while enjoying their wine. ¡°Rest assured, I will handle the Xie Family¡¯s matters. They will have no chance to intervene.¡± ¡°Mr. Gu, I am of course at ease with your work.¡± ¡°I heard your only daughter is yet to be married. My son, despite his disability, is mentallypetent. If Mr. Gu is interested, we could align our families with a marriage.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Hearing this, Gu Yan¡¯s hand, holding his wine ss, tightened. He had never thought about using Gu Chuyan as a tool for marriage alliance, moreover with someone disabled! Being a Gu, he naturally wished for an ideal match. Although Gu Chuyan can be rebellious, she was his daughter after all. Marrying into a wealthy family or striking a marital alliance could work, but he heard that not only was the son disabled, he was a ¡®medicine jar¡¯. He was constantly on medication which implied he won¡¯t survive for long. ¡°What, Mr. Gu looks down on my son?¡± Now, it¡¯s difficult for Gu Yan to step out gracefully; no matter if he agreed or not, his position in this circle would be difficult to secure. ¡°I am honored by your suggestion, I will certainly ask her. But my daughter is strong-willed, and independent. I fear she might refuse.¡± ¡°Ha ha. Mr. Gu, you¡¯re joking! My son loves a fiery woman. Let¡¯s toast to that!¡± The other man chortled heartily. Although Gu Yan was displeased, he didn¡¯t dare to contradict, so he had to ept it tacitly. Gu Chuyan stood there, gazing nkly into that direction, unexpected that Gu Yan had been ying this card behind her back. They won¡¯t have a say in the matter? Moreover, he wishes to marry her off to form an alliance? Last week, Gu Yan was unwilling to cut ties with her. Could it be that he wanted to use her to aplish his own goals? Sheughed sarcastically at the idea. Unwilling to ept this, Gu Chuyan turned her head to catch a glimpse of who the man was. Unfortunately, he was sitting in front of a pir; his physique hidden and unclear. ¡°Snap.¡± As she began to retreat to leave, she heard the sound of a breaking branch. Subsequently, the broken branch was thrown towards her. ¡°No!¡± Gu Chuyan stepped back and dashed off. She had to leave this ce seeing Gu Miaoting¡¯s figure earlier which certainly was a ploy to lure her here.. Chapter 70 - 94: Tonight Chapter 70: Chapter 94: Tonight Trantor: 549690339 If she were caught eavesdropping, Gu Yan would certainly not let her off the hook. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± A deep voice sounded, and the lights in the backyard instantly lit up. Many people ran towards her rapidly. Gu Chuyan started to run, hearing someone chase after her from behind. Gu Yan ran after her, spotted her silhouette, and shouted, ¡°Gu Chuyan?¡± ¡°Gu Chuyan? She¡¯s the Gu family¡¯s heiress, catch her.¡± At this point, an unknown voice resonated. The bodyguards hearing this became extremely excited! The ones chasing after her were heavy-footed! It seemed like an army of bodyguards was behind her, Gu Chuyan hadn¡¯t rested well in the past few days, shecked strength, and after a few running steps, the snowy ground was too slippery, she fell heavily to the ground. With a ¡°thud¡±, she fell to the ground, her body lunged forward, scratched by a tree branch on her wrist. She didn¡¯t feel the pain, she only felt the urgent need to leave right now. She couldn¡¯t be a puppet, didn¡¯t want to be manipted by Gu Yan, and she didn¡¯t want to be dictated by Gu Miaoting¡¯s whims! She must have deliberately tried to entrap her. Just then, a ck Mercedes-Benz sped up and stopped in front of her, blocking her way. Gu Miaoting got out of the car, her seductive smile fixated on her, ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent? Why don¡¯t we chat?¡± With a sway of her sexy hips, she approached, but her eyes held resentment! Gu Miaoting had always been pampered, but she didn¡¯t expect to be ravaged by Gu Chuyan! She watched her morous and illustrious life destroyed by Gu Chuyan in a matter of one short month. Only Lian Zhenzhen knew, but she dared not mention it to anyone else! Yet, this shadow had imprinted itself on her heart, she wanted to make Gu Chuyan suffer a hundredfold misery than she had. ¡°Get out of my way.¡± Gu Chuyan tried to dodge her to run, but Gu Miaoting grabbed her arm, attempting to arrest her. Feeling anxious, Gu Chuyan lifted her foot, aiming a kick at Gu Miaoting¡¯s pelvis. ¡°Ah.¡± Gu Miaoting stepped back in pain as she was kicked. At this point, Gu Yan finally arrived, he stood there, hands behind his back, ring at Gu Chuyan furiously. He used to believe her when she said she was falsely used because he had never seen her hit someone before. But this time, how could he believe her again? ¡°Gu Chuyan, how dare you kick me?¡± He gnashed his teeth, striding forward, extended his hand to grasp her wrist, and forcibly pulled her back! Gu Chuyan violently shook off his hand, staring at him with hatred: ¡°Gu Yan, the likes of selling out women for fame is something only you could do.¡± Gu Miaoting interjected when she heard this, stepping in front of Gu Yan, ¡°Chuyan, don¡¯t curse at your uncle like that, he¡¯s got it hard too!¡± Seeing her like this, Gu Chuyan scoffed. ¡°I loathe your innocent act the most.¡± Gu Chuyan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She pounced on Gu Miaoting, and with all her strength pushed her aside. Watching her attempt to preserve her image in front of Gu Yan ¨C and certainly not retaliating ¨C made Gu Chuyan¡¯s scoff colder. ¡°Do you know what I¡¯m about to do?¡± Gu Chuyan¡¯sugh radiated beauty, she stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Miaoting¡¯s nose with force, and pulled it hard. ¡°Ah.¡± Gu Miaoting shrieked in pain. Gu Chuyan firmly held her down, her beautiful hand forcefully covered her mouth. ¡°Hrn Hrn.¡± Gu Miaoting struggled, her tears flowed nonstop. She wanted to hit Gu Chuyan, but was afraid of ruining her image! Gu Chuyan tightly grasped her hair, making her lose bnce, hence Gu Miaoting fell to the ground, hitting her head on a wall. Gu Yan stood there, shaking with anger! He couldn¡¯t believe that Gu Chuyan dared to be so audacious and confront Gu Miaoting in front of him. ¡°Gu Yan, aren¡¯t you spoiled for her?¡± Gu Chuyan suddenlyughed, she forcefully dragged Gu Miaoting up and took off her high heels. With a flick of her wrist, the high heel was sent flying.. Chapter 71 - 95: Righteously Confronting Her Chapter 71: Chapter 95: Righteously Confronting Her Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Ah.¡± Gu Miaoting was hit by a high-heel shoe, feeling a dull pain in her chest. It seemed as if her organs had been jolted. She stepped back a few spaces, falling heavily to the ground. Gu Chuyan threw aside the high-heel shoe, which directly hit Gu Miaoting¡¯s head. She couldn¡¯t hate more, but to preserve her image, she could only pretend to faint. ¡°Ah.¡± After pretending to faint, Gu Chuyan stepped back, looked at Gu Yan, and raised her hand, ¡°Do you know what it feels like when you hit me?¡± she said. She spoke, backhandedly pped Gu Miaoting with great force. Gu Miaoting was in so much pain; saliva sprayed out of her mouth, choking her to the point that tears kept rolling down. ¡°You, you!¡± Gu Yan, witnessing the scene, was shaking from anger. Gu Chuyan lifted her head, her hair was dishevelled, she looked at him mockingly. When the bodyguards approached, she forcefully shook off their hands, dragged her aching body forward, and stood in front of him. ¡°What, you feel bad now? When you hit me, why didn¡¯t you feel bad then?¡± she said lightly, her gaze at him was extraordinarily cold. Gu Yan? Hah, just that. ¡°Think forcing me into this marriage won¡¯t make me settle scores with you afterward? It seems like you are very scared of him now.¡± Gu Chuyan looked at him mockingly, her eyes full of threats. This father¡­ she would rather not have him. Without saying a word, she turned and left! ¡°Grab her.¡± Gu Yan¡¯s voice from behind her gave the order. A sudden ¡°boom¡± was heard, the whole street shook! A mansion not far from there had mes surging into the sky, the crackling sounds, and many people screaming could be heard. ¡°Good we found you.¡± Xiao Mohan said whispering into her neck. He had wanted to pick her up that day, but unforeseen circumstances forced him to return to the Xiao Family. In a blink of an eye, several days had passed, and he almost lost her. Xiao Mohan held her, his hands trembling. As he eagerly rushed here, seeing that scene almost drove him to murderous rage! ¡°Xiao Mohan, don¡¯t leave again, okay.¡± Gu Chuyan whispered his name softly, feeling like she could never say it enough. She was truly scared, terribly afraid that she would never see him again. ¡°Okay.¡± the man responded in a maic voice. When he awoke in Xiao¡¯s family house a weekter. He got up with pain, knocked out two bodyguards, and rushed to S city with Han Changqing. Han Changqing was scolded to bits. He was only concerned with himself and had forgotten Gu Chuyan! These past few days, she felt like she was falling apart! She had never thought that she would care for someone so much. It was as if thinking about Xiao Mohan would tear her heart apart. Gu Chuyan lifted her head, and clung tightly to his arm like a frightened child. ¡°Mohan.¡± She softly called out his name. Xiao Mohan was about to explode from heartache. Seeing Gu Chuyan so startled, it hurt more than being killed. At this moment, his dark eyes were full of cold ruthlessness. Gu Yan, this man! He had be the most hated person in Xiao Mohan¡¯s heart because Gu Yan had bullied the woman that he cherished the most! Hence, Gu Yan deserved to be hit, killed, and annihted. ¡°Chuchu.¡± He rasped, his dark eyes fixated on her. ¡°Hmm.¡± She responded. Xiao Mohan was a strong man, at this moment he looked as if he was trying to control everything. ¡°Mohan..¡± Gu Chuyan was kissed by him. She felt like a child who did not dare to make a move. Her little hand held his shoulder, her lips curled into a smile. She stroked his head subconsciously and said softly with worry in her eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss.. Chapter 72 - 97: Is Mohan Sick? Chapter 72: Chapter 97: Is Mohan Sick? Trantor: 549690339 The helicopter was heading towards the mountains of S City,nding smoothly. Han Changqing stepped off the aircraft, stood aside, took out a cigar, lit it, and took a big puff. He was contemting: should I tell them we¡¯re home? While he was deep in thought, a white shadow came rushing over. With a ¡°click¡±, he opened the cabin door with one hand and stepped inside. He heard the sound of a man and a woman speaking inside. Wen Shui was taken aback! He poked his head inside and took a nce. He stepped forward, reached out, and picked up Xiao Mohan. ¡°Bang.¡± Xiao Mohan threw a punch back. Wen Shui was hit and took half a step back, falling heavily to one side. His enchanting face wore an innocent expression. ¡°What are you hitting me for?¡± Wen Shui got up and asked. Xiao Mohan picked her up and got off the ne. ¡°Hey, Xiao! You¡¯ve just recovered from a serious illness and you dare to go out and y without me?¡± Wen Shui jumped down from above, catching up with his pace, not intending to let him go. Xiao Mohan¡¯s body exuded a cold aura, and his silent dark eyes shed with sharpness. ¡°Move aside.¡± Gu Chuyan heard and looked up in surprise, asking, ¡°Are you injured?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± he said indifferently. Wen Shui was so angry at his words that he was about to jump up and down: ¡°You came back to S City for a woman? Is it worth it? I¡¯m pissed! Don¡¯te to me when you die.¡± Wen Shui turned his head in a huff, intending to leave. ¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing? Han Changqing, I¡¯m the young master of the Wen Family! Let go of me.¡± Han Changqing strode forward, grabbed his arm, and threw him over his shoulder, then strode towards the mansion. Looking at this scene, Gu Chuyan found it full of humor, especially the part where Wen Shui was patting Han Changqing¡¯s shoulder¡­ But then, suddenly¡­.

Does it still hurt?¡± Xiao Mohan asked, his deep ck eyes studying her flushing face with tender concern. Upon his questioning, Gu Chuyan ced her hand over her face, unable to meet his gaze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for hurting you! It won¡¯t happen again,¡± Xiao Mohan spoke gently, lowering his voice as if afraid he might frighten her with a louder volume. His voice brimmed with care and anxiety as he sat upright suddenly, somewhat flustered. He furrowed his brows; the pain she was in weighed heavily on his heart, making mm reel sorrowful. ¡°I¡¯ll be right back,¡± the man said hesitantly in a deep voice. Looking around the empty bedroom, Gu Chuyan felt a sense of surrealness. If not for the physical pain, she would have suspected she was dreaming. ¡°What am I thinking?¡± Gu Chuyan pped her forehead in a bid to clear her thoughts. Xiao Mohan hurried out of the room, quickly returning with the urgency of a man on a mission. ¡°No, I¡¯m fine now.¡± Upon seeing him, Gu Chuyan was spooked. She grabbed the nket tightly, her eyes filled with fear as she scooted away from him. Xiao Mohan reached out and touched her shoulder and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll put some medicine on you, and you will feel better soon. Good girl, listen to me.¡± As she burrowed herself into the nket, he turned his back on her and gazed out the floor-to-ceiling window, taking in the night sights. ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡± Xiao Mohan asked. Gu Chuyan looked at him, her eyes going wide as she remembered something. ¡°Mohan, is your illness cured?¡± she asked. ¡°Wen Shui said your severe illness is just getting better. Did you go for treatment?¡± she asked, her gaze fixated on him as if trying to see through something. Xiao Mohan paused slightly at her words. He hadn¡¯t anticipated her linking the two incidents. Her imagination had indeed run wild. ¡°Hmm.¡± To avoid disappointing her, Xiao Mohan indulged her with a nod, his deep eyes filled with affection as he looked at her. He slid under the nket,ying beside her. He pulled her close and whispered, ¡°Gu Chuyan, you¡¯re my first woman, and you will also be myst.¡± She was taken aback upon hearing his words. Xiao Mohan looked at her stunned expression, he leaned down and tenderly kissed her fair neck, soothingly affirming, ¡°For a lifetime.¡± Gu Mansion Inside the luxurious mansion, Gu Miaoting was applying heavy makeup. She picked a ck dress, revealing her sexy shoulders. She elegantly walked up to the mirror, twirling a strand of her curled hair with her fingers. Her eyes twinkled as she applied vibrant lipstick. ¡°Latest news: an explosion urred at a certain vi! Mister Gu and many others on-site were seriously injured,¡± the news broadcast announced. On hearing this, she turned slightly, looking at the broadcast. ¡°Injured again? Seems like his luck is really running out,¡± she spoke with augh, reaching out to turn off the television. She put on a gem ne and picked up her LV bag to head out, driving her blue BMW towards the most upscale club in S City. ¡°Miss, do you need a private room?¡± the lobby manager stepped forward to ask reverently. ¡°Yes.¡± She replied, walking arrogantly towards the elevator. The manager ran forward to press the elevator button for her, watching as she entered. She turned slightly, her hand gracefullynding on her neck, flicking her hair back. Watching this scene, many people in the lobby felt weak in their knees and involuntarily moved towards the elevator. Unfortunately, they were met with the closing doors of the elevator as they got close.. Chapter 74 - 102: Watching This Scene Chapter 74: Chapter 102: Watching This Scene Trantor: 549690339 The elevator reached the eighth floor and opened automatically. She, holding a small bag and walking with catwalk strides, headed towards a particr room, pushing the door open and entering. Wearing high heels and elegantly twisting her slender waist, she walked into the room. In a quiet corner, a figure appeared! A tall man¡¯s figure leanedzily against the sofa, elongated and elegant. The man¡¯s pale, long fingers elegantly held a tall wine ss, lightly swirling. The wine inside the ss formed beautiful curves. ¡°Director?¡± Gu Miaoting stood there, taken aback, and asked subconsciously. In her mind, wasn¡¯t a director supposed to be an older, chubby man with a belly? Judging from this man¡¯s figure, he was around 28 years old, truly a diamond in the rough. Without a word, the man raised his wine ss and took a gentle sip. She approached him, standing gracefully and respectfully before him. ¡°Pfft.¡± Wen Shui turned his head slightly, almost choking on his sip of wine at the scene. He put the wine ss down heavily on the table, looked at her with his beautifully captivating eyes, and tilted up his unfairly attractive face. His remarkable fingertips brushed along his chin as he took in her appearance from head to toe. ¡°So, you¡¯re the neer here to audition?¡± Wen Shui¡¯s voice was as clear and pleasant as he himself, sunny and handsome. ¡°Yes,¡± Gu Miaoting responded. Wen Shui changed his position, leaning there and squinting his eyeszily. ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Encouraged by his words, Gu Miaoting became more proactive. She put her bag down, and walked to the side, took a ss of wine, and poured herself a drink. ¡°Director, what do you think of me?¡± she asked seductively, offering the wine towards him. Seeing this, Wen Shui¡¯s first reaction was to push her away. Gu Miaoting was thrown onto the ground. With a ¡°thud,¡± she hit the floor, her wine ss falling and spilling all over her. Gu Miaoting had not expected this at all and was extremely embarrassed. Wen Shui approached, handsomely cing his foot on the edge of the sofa, exuding an air of regality. He took out his phone and snapped a few photos of her. ¡°Director, what are you doing?¡± Gu Miaoting was startled and reached out to snatch the phone. But seeing Wen Shui¡¯s stunning, breath-taking face, she suppressed her anger. He turned slightly, looking at the pictures he had taken. ¡°Not bad, very photogenic,¡± he said. Gu Miaoting had just been doubting whether he was really a director, but now it seemed like he wanted to test her on-camera presence and endurance? She stood up, wiping the wine off her body. Walking again with elegant catwalk strides, she came behind him, cing a hand on his shoulder, checking out the pictures on his phone. Despite her pathetic state, the pictures were indeed fantastic! ¡°Director, so have I been selected?¡± she quietly asked. Upon hearing this, Wen Shui was taken aback! Wen Shui looked at her face, lifted his wine ss and took a sip, spraying it directly towards her: ¡°Pfff,¡± his shower of wine covered her entire face. ¡°Sterilizing,¡± Wen Shui said elegantly, acting as if he was doing something very serious. Gu Miaoting stood there stupified, looking at him in disbelief. Wen Shui raised his eyebrow, spun around handsomely and slightly looking back, he said, ¡°Wanna sign a contract?¡± She picked herself up, shaking the wine off her face and forcing a smile. ¡°Yes! I am willing to wait for your call anytime, Director,¡± She said, gazing at his face admiringly. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sign then,¡± Wen Shui replied, walking to one side, picking up the contract and handing it to her. Just as she was about to take it, Wen Shui let go of his hand and the contract scattered onto the floor. ¡°Director, allow me,¡± she said, somewhat embarrassed..
