“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?’…
“Grandfather, cousin…” Gu Xi called out to them, slightly nervous.The grandfather-grandson pair that was in the middle of a conversation immediately turned to look at her. “Xixi, you’re here, come sit,” Gu Xi’s maternal grandfather said while Qiao Zhen merely nodded his head at her in greeting.Gu Xi felt slightly unhappy but she also knew she had to reap what she sowed, so she nodded her head slightly before sitting next to the pair cautiously.“Xixi, you’re here. Sit for a while, I’ll be done cooking soon,” her eldest aunt said happily as she emerged from the kitchen.“There’s no need to hurry, Eldest Aunt,” Gu Xi said with a nod and a smile.“Why, are you here for Grandfather’s shares again? I heard Gu Tianxiang is in a lot of trouble right?” Qiao Zhen asked coldly.“Little Zhen, how dare you speak like that?” Qiao Zhi scolded angrily once he heard Qiao Zhen’s question.‘My son used to treat Gu Xi like a sister, why is he acting like this now?’“Eldest Uncle.” Gu Xi stopped
However, no matter which family Gu Xi was in, the Qiao family could not rescue her.“Grandfather, Uncle, Big Brother, are the three of you willing to believe me? I don’t want that thirty percent of shares, I just want the three of you to help me take back what my mother put her blood and sweat into establishing. I want Gu Tianxiang and his family to know what it's like to have everything taken away!” As Gu Xi’s statement neared the end, her voice turned as cold as ice.The three of them finally believed her.“Since you seem to have thought things through, Grandfather will definitely fully support Xixi,” the old man said, finally lifting his head to look at her.“Why didn’t you tell your uncle about such a huge matter earlier?” Qiao Zhi sighed as he looked at Gu Xi, who now seemed so sensible, with a distressed expression.“Little Zhen, help Xixi out and check just how many crimes Gu Tianxiang committed recently as well.” Now that Gu Xi no longer protected that scumbag of a man, Qi
