The next day.Gu Xi, who was all dressed up and ready to leave for the old Xing residence, was taken by surprise when she heard that Xing Beiyan would be going there straight from his office.“He isn’t coming back to pick me up?” Gu Xi asked sullenly.“Young Master said you don’t need to go,” Butler Wang answered, still reverent and respectful.“Huh?” Gu Xi’s face fell. This was a request from Old Madam Xing so she knew if Xing Beiyan found out she was going, her days would be much more difficult. Besides, maybe he thought that she did not want to go so he went to the residence on his own.However, if Gu Xi did not show up at the residence, who knows what fight the Xing family would pick with him over it?Gu Xi did not want Xing Beiyan to bear all those malicious insults because of her in this life!Therefore, even if she disliked the thought, she needed to be there too!“Prepare the car and send me there!” She sprung up from her seat and ordered seriously.“This…” Butler Wang
“Despite what I just said, my husband is priceless to me so I’m afraid you can’t afford to pay for him,” Gu Xi said with a small smile.“You!” Old Madam Xing roared once she heard this.“I’m only speaking the truth or do you think that your grandson is nothing more than an item that can be valued using money?” Gu Xi furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at the old woman. “Then I’m so sorry, but I’m! Not! Selling!”Xing Beiyan, who was burning with rage, was stunned.What did she say?He was priceless to her?His rage had now dissipated entirely and his gaze was now one of shock and surprise instead. Even that frozen heart of his felt like it had completely melted and was beating profusely in his chest.“What do you mean!” Old Madam Xing raged as she slammed a fist onto the table, springing to her feet.“Exactly what it sounds like…” Gu Xi answered lazily.“Good! That’s great!” The finger Old Madam Xing was pointing at her trembled lightly; in all her years of life, this was the
“Darling, are you unhappy that I showed up?” Gu Xi asked in slight disappointment, her lips pursed.“I’m very happy.” Xing Beiyan did not turn to look at her, only answering after a moment of silence.“Then why do you look like that?” ‘If you’re happy, why are you so calm?’ Gu Xi wondered.Their car gradually pulled to a stop in front of their house. The surrounding area was dark, almost gloomily because only the dim street lights were on. Finally, Xing Beiyan turned to look at Gu Xi. “I’m happy you showed up to speak for me but Xixi, do you understand? As a man, I would’ve preferred to stand in front of you to shield you from the wind and rain.”Gu Xi felt her nose sting and she almost burst out in tears.She wanted to say, ‘I want you to do that too, I want it so much’. However, when she hid under his wings in her last life, she was taught a lesson with her own life, which had made her unable to set her mind at ease anymore.What she wanted to do in this life was to stand by
“Go shower so we can get to bed,” Xing Beiyan said while stroking the back of Gu Xi’s head.Gu Xi nodded her head eagerly before entering the bathroom. A while later, she emerged in her pajamas.“Slow down, you’re going to trip,” warned the man leaning against the headboard of the bed. He had on a pair of gold-framed glasses, looking elegant yet slightly sensual as he lifted his head to look at her.“I don’t want to, I can’t wait to be in my darling’s arms.” Gu Xi purred.“Listen to yourself…” Xing Beiyan set his book down and chuckled, pulling her into his embrace. “You should sleep soon.”“Okay, a kiss first~ Good night.” Gu Xi lifted her head to peck him lightly on the lips before she hid in the blanket out of embarrassment.“Good night~” Xing Beiyan was stunned for a moment before a smile pulled at his lips as he replied softly into her ear.The next day, Gu Xi woke up very early and left the house as soon as possible.Since she did not have classes in the morning, she want
Although Mo Han had seen Gu Xi’s abilities before, it was his first time seeing her mirror each move perfectly after watching the video once. It was just like his master said, she really was abnormal.The dance of three minutes and fifty seconds ended quickly.Luo Yang and the rest were still sitting in their places with looks of disbelief on their faces, their breakfast still in their hands. When Gu Xi finally walked over to them, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Didn’t you guys want a dance battle against me? Let’s go!”“That, that, that…” Luo Yang stood up, stammering with a doubting look on his face. “You, you, you…”“I, I, I… What did I do?” Gu Xi laughed. “Did I dance terribly?”“Didn’t all of you want to know why I keep obeying her orders?” Mo Han stood up, a look of helplessness on his face.“...”“It’s because I lost a dance battle against her…”Therefore, they understood that anything Gu Xi said went as long as they never battled against her in dancing!…“We have a
“Don’t be embarrassed, I’ve heard similar statements many times. I know a lot of you want to get close to Young Master Dong because I sit close to him. It’s nothing to worry about, I don’t mind.” Gu Xi shook her head, completely confident that Ruan Meng’er was not asking to sit next to her.Once everyone heard this, they felt that she was speaking the truth.“I… Alright! Take a seat, pretty lady,” Dong Wenbo said before he sprung up and leaped over his row of tables to land in the empty seat next to Gu Xi.The clean and quick move he had just pulled made all the girls present swoon over him, their screams muffled by their hands.“Young Master Dong is so handsome, you can’t deny it!”Teacher Li glanced at him but said nothing.Ruan Meng’er still had a gentle smile on her face, which never faltered as she wordlessly sat behind the pair.“Why are you sitting next to me?” Gu Xi grumbled as she glared at the young man.“Hey, hey, hey, you’re being ungrateful now, woman. You were the
Once Gu Xi noticed Gu Xue’er’s expression, she immediately knew what the latter was thinking.After all, how could Gu Xi not know? Her lips quirked up in a smirk; she was going to see just how happy Gu Xue’er would be once she received Gu Xi’s second grand surprise present.…“What are all of you doing? Don’t you need to practice?” Gu Xi asked as soon as she arrived at the rooftop to see Luo Yang and the rest huddled over their phones as they shouted “Third kill! Third kill! Fourth kill! Ah ah ah, fourth kill down!” Even Nangong, who was usually the mature one, had his head low as he focused on the game.“We’re gaming, let us finish this round,” Luo Yang answered without raising his head,Gu Xi muttered under her breath, “Is it really so much fun?” before she sat down next to them to watch.“Are you stupid? Why are you running, attack, attack!” After watching the game for a while, Gu Xi finally understood what was going on. Once she noticed how timidly Luo Yang was playing as Lu
At the headquarters of Dark Night Group.“Master, these past few days, Young Madam has been…” Yang Fan was in the midst of reporting to Xing Beiyan about Gu Xi’s recent condition.“What has she been doing?” Xing Beiyan lifted his head to glance at him.“She’s, she’s been gaming…” As soon as Yang Fan’s words fell, he felt the air around him turned cold.“Gaming?” Xing Beiyan’s gaze turned dark for a second; did she not say she would be too busy to go home when they went their separate ways a few days ago?Gu Xi had sent him sporadic text messages to keep him updated in the beginning, telling him how she had been doing recently. However, she kept it up for only a few days before she had stopped.As it turned out...she was busy playing games?“What game has she been playing?” Xing Beiyan’s eyes gleamed before he suddenly lifted his head to ask Yang Fan.“That…” Yang Fan was slightly taken aback and thought to himself, ‘The game isn’t the thing you should be caring about right?’…
