Gu Xi’s face turned bright red. It was out of habit that she usually called him ‘darling’, so she never thought much of it. However, it felt quite different when he was coaxing her to say it in this way. “Dar, dar…” She kept stuttering while her face grew even redder and her mind went blank. Then, she suddenly blurted, “As if I would believe you. You’re such a bad old man!” The sexual tension in the room vanished all at once… Xing Beiyan’s expression darkened right away. He rolled around and sat to the side of the bed while taking a deep breath. He seemed to be… Angrier? Gu Xi pulled her arms down awkwardly and cast him a wary glance. Why did she have to say that? “Darling, darling?” She reached out and poked at his hands.“Old man, huh?” Xing Beiyan instantly caught hold of her hand and asked gravely, “Xixi, is that how you see me?” “No, it’s not like that. It’s not. That was just an online expression that’s been quite popular recently. Everyone’s been using it. I accidentally
At the same time, Xing Beiyan opened his eyes. Whenever he was being gentle, it was easy to lose oneself in his deep, dark eyes. Meanwhile, whenever he was in a violent rage, no one would dare to even meet his gaze. Gu Xi was very glad that he was always gentle toward her. “Darling, good morning…” She put on a sweet smile and appeared completely unflustered despite the fact that she had just been caught trying to pull out his eyelashes. “Morning…” Xing Beiyan released her hand and had a blank expression on his face, but Gu Xi could sense that the guy was in a great mood. “You’re not going to work today?” she asked curiously. “I am.” He glanced at her and then got up before heading straight for the bathroom.Within just a few moments, Gu Xi sensed that the guy had become unhappy. Did she say something wrong?She ran her fingers through her hair and then returned to her room with her Winnie-the-Pooh doll in her arms before opening her window out of habit. After that, as she looked
Despite Gu Xi’s disheveled state, her classmates were taken aback at the sight of her. Yesterday, she did not bring along her school uniform when she went home. Thus, Gu Xi had randomly grabbed a skirt and put it on before coming to campus. Although she was dressed quite ordinarily, some of her classmates were rather sharp-eyed and quickly identified the pieces she was wearing.Her simple-looking skirt with small floral prints was, in fact, worth one million RMB! That was a fashion piece created by the current most sought-after designer called I.K, and only three of this design could be found in the whole world. While it seemed quite plain and ordinary, many girls dreamed of having this skirt. That pair of sandals was also an I.K product. The entire outfit was rather expensive! Just what kind of backing did Gu Xi have? She had actually come to campus wearing an outfit that was worth a few million yuan! “Gu Xi? You… What’s going on here?” Teacher Li asked after a moment of surpr
When the other students heard Gu Xue’er’s words, they continued to flatter and fawn over her. The class teacher frowned and said, “Everyone, be quiet.” The students immediately stopped talking. When they saw the grave expression on the teacher’s face, they knew that she had definitely planned to praise the top student first before talking about the people with the worst exam results. This was something that had never changed for the past ten thousand years. As expected, they guessed correctly. “Nonetheless, aside from the good news, there’s also some bad news. This time, two students from our class have received the lowest marks in our entire year group. You’re all adults here, so I’m not going to scold you. After all, your lives are in your own hands. I can only try my best to help you. Beyond that, it depends on your luck and willingness to work on your own life.” When the teacher finished speaking, she swept her gaze over the young man who was sleeping at the back of the class
Gu Xi laughed awkwardly. This was the result of not focusing on her studies as a child. In the past, she had spent most of her time in school sleeping and playing. Every year, the most she had written was probably her name. At that moment, her classmates shared neither their teacher’s pride nor Gu Xi’s joy. All of them were rooted to their seats in silence with looks of disbelief on their faces. Then, someone muttered “Holy sh*t!” and brought everyone out of their shock. Immediately after that, the entire class exploded into an uproar! “What’s going on? Gu Xi placed first out of our entire year group in the exams and even scored 140 marks out of the full marks of 150. It can’t be real, right? Shouldn’t it have been Gu Xue’er?”“Holy cow! Impossible. It hasn’t been that long since she resumed her classes. How could she possibly attain such high marks?!” “Didn’t she used to be bad at her studies? Could the teacher have said the wrong name…”The students erupted into a frenzy of
The other female student ,who stood by her seat, turned around to stare at Gu Xi with a look of disgust and asked, “Who cares about those things you have there? Gu Xi, let me ask you. Did you cheat on the exams?!” This student was named Cheng Lin. In terms of academics, she always placed among the top three students in this class and had constantly been trying to compete with Gu Xue’er. Now, Gu Xi appeared out of nowhere and claimed the first place in their entire year group. With Gu Xi’s sudden appearance, was Cheng Lin going to lose her second place then? These two sisters of the Gu family were trying to oppose her, right?! “Who told you I cheated on the exams?” Gu Xi raised an eyebrow at her.“Humph! Why would I need anyone to tell me that? It’s obvious that you’ve done so!” Cheng Lin retorted. “Oh? If it’s that obvious to you, then why are you asking me?” Gu Xi could not help rolling her eyes.What kind of nonsense question was that? “You!” Cheng Lin immediately got angry and
“Xixi, quickly apologize to everyone and beg Teacher for mercy. Daddy has spent so much money to send you here. If you get expelled, he’ll certainly be very angry!” Gu Xue’er hurriedly said. These words would undoubtedly draw more criticism to Gu Xi.“No wonder she has such poor behavior. It turns out that she bribed her way into this university.” “On top of that, she won’t even focus on her studies. She’s wasting not only her family’s money but also the painstaking efforts her family members have made for her. This Gu Xi really lacks a conscience!” “She’s a piece of garbage! We should get rid of this piece of garbage and chase her out of our class and our university!”“Did you hear that, Gu Xi? If you admit your fault now, you might not receive such a severe punishment. If you refuse to admit it, then don’t blame us for reporting this as a group!” Cheng Lin muttered smugly with a cold scoff. “Xixi, hurry up and admit it. Everyone will forgive you!” Gu Xue’er advised patiently.“Ar
“Insulted you?” Gu Xi shrugged. “I was merely speaking the truth,” she said with resignation. “I really don’t wish to answer such a stupid question to avoid lowering my IQ. Nonetheless, it seems like nothing can save you from your own stupidity now, so I guess I’ll have to sacrifice myself to save you this time in order to prevent you from going insane. After all, we’ll get laughed at if a crazy person appears in our class.” She put on an infuriating look of reluctance. Cheng Lin was so furious that her breath got stuck in her throat, so she could neither inhale or exhale. Her face rapidly turned red as she struggled to catch her breath. The other students were also surprised at how good Gu Xi was at arguing, so much so that she was capable of rendering Cheng Lin and everyone else speechless! In fact, they were starting to feel like they were indeed quite stupid??? This was such an extraordinary and unusual feeling! The corner of Teacher Li’s mouth twitched even more. Why had sh
The two of them and the fox sat down at the table. As soon as the food came up, they began to eat happily. Tongtong was thinking that he should be graceful, but when the little fox jumped onto the table and started to grab the food, he couldn't help it.Gu Xi looked at them, looked like they were fighting, and then looked up at the people staring at them in shock. She coughed awkwardly and patted the little fox who looked like a starving ghost. "Be graceful. No one will fight with you."The little fox looked up at her and then lowered its head. Although it was still fast, it didn't look as horrible as before.Sure enough, it could understand what she said.Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction. She thought that if she had time, she would teach the little fox to be more sensible in case there would be such a miserable scene when she would be watched when she went out for a meal next time.She ordered a lot but didn't overeat. Tongtong was still young anddidn't eat much either.All the food
After getting out of the elevator, Gu Xi took Tongtong out of the building.There were not many pedestrians outside. Maybe it was too hot at this time, so no one went out. Most of them stayed indoors.With only a few people, the street was quiet. However, Gu Xi's appearance disturbed the peace.The combination of the adult and kid was too eye-catching.The little fox was very cute. Coupled with its silver hair and sky-blue eyes, it was obviously a rare species. Everyone looked at it curiously.Gu Xi was also a top beauty. No matter where she went, she had a 100% attention.Although tTongtong was a little thin, his facial features were very prominent. Due to malnutrition, his yellow and slightly curly hair did not have any effect on him. He was more like a foreign noble. His skin was very white and tender, and under the sunlight, it was almost transparent. Besides, his slightly narrowed big eyes with thick brows, and the temperament which did not belong to his age, attracted peopl
Uncle Li shook his head helplessly when he thought of Nan Sheng and Nan Kui, who had ventured into the dark forest to save their father."This must be Young Master Xing's wife. Congratulations on your reunion." He shifted his gaze to Gu Xi.Gu Xi smiled politely."This is the room prepared for you. Call me if you have any problems. You may feel wronged to live here. After all, the situation in the Nan family is not very good, so..." Uncle Li said apologetically as he took the two people to the reception room of the building."It doesn't matter. We've thought about staying here for a while. It's naturally the best place to live here." Xing Beiyan nodded.After saying a few more words, Uncle Li left.The family of four entered the room.The room was very big. According to Xing Beiyan's request, they specially prepared an extra room. Gu Xi knew what he meant and did not say anything about it.The furniture in the living room was well-arranged and very beautiful. She opened the cur
The little fox was not interested. It lay on Gu Xi's leg and fell asleep.In fact, when Gu Xi came, she wanted to let the little fox go. After all, the forest was the best place for it to survive, but the little fox followed her resolutely.Now that it was cleaned up, it was really cute. A small ball was cuddling on her legs. If it didn't open its mouth, who could imagine that it was also a fierce beast?The helicopter stopped on the roof of a building.There were already several men in suits waiting downstairs on the roof."Second Young Master, Third Young Miss, and Young Master Xing," they greeted them respectfully."Uncle Li, how's my father?" Nan Sheng walked up to him worriedly."His condition is not very stable. We haven't found a way to relieve the toxins." Uncle Li, the leading man, frowned and shook his head."We found the herbs." Nan Sheng quickly handed him the herbs.The man looked happy. "That's good, that's good. Sir can be saved. Come with me."Everyone followed
Mo Fan and Leng Yang stayed in the Dark Domain, saying that they wanted to join the Dark Domain. Yun Fei didn't refuse, saying that they had to wait for the master of the Dark Domain to come back and decide, so he kept them behind.This time, Yun Fei took them directly to a tunnel."This place leads directly to the periphery of the forest. After all, we are in a hurry to complete the task. We can't break through the forest every time," Yun Fei said.Hearing this, everyone heaved sighs of relief.After all, the forest was too dangerous. If they walked again, they were not sure if they could get out alive, or how many more people would be lost.After bidding farewell to Yun Fei and the others, they entered the tunnel. After walking for half a day, they saw the stairs.When they walked up, they found that it was a dry well on the periphery of the forest.When they saw the sun again, they finally left the dangerous forest. If so many people hadn't died, if they hadn't found the herb
Gu Xi raised her head and looked at the woman who was exactly the same as her. She was looking at her man shyly. Gu Xi's mouth curled coldly.As expected, she was no different from her. No wonder Xing Beiyan didn't see through her at first.But this delicate character was not hers!She lowered her head."Let's talk about it when we get out." Xing Beiyan said then.Ruan Meng'er nodded and walked over. She wanted to hold his hand, but when she saw him walking away, her expression froze for a moment. However, when she thought that he might be angry because of what happened yesterday, she did not think much of it and followed him with a sweet smile.Gu Xi hid her gaze.When she went out, she would make trouble for this woman and see who sent her to fake her.After picking up the herb, everyone quickly walked out.Everyone was waiting for them, anxiously outside the glass door. When they saw them running over, they finally breathed a sigh of relief."How come there seems to be ano
"Okay, okay, okay!" Hearing his consent, Nan Kui immediately cheered and quickly agreed.Everyone tied cotton at the soles of their shoes in advance, so that there would be no sound when they walked on the ground.They entered the elevator and went to the underground laboratory again.Outside the glass door, only one or two figures could be seen swaying not far away."Are you ready? You only have five minutes," said Yun Fei.Everyone nodded.Yun Fei opened the glass door.They walked in quickly.The greenhouse was not far away, right in the corner.But two monsters were swaying there.Everyone's pace was very fast.If they didn't deal with those monsters first, they wouldn't be able to make it through. The main thing was not to disturb them.The weapons were silenced, and they fired a few times. However, the two figures only shook a few times and did not die.Everyone's expressions changed.Sensing the movement, the two monsters tilted their heads and began to approach th
Gu Xi also felt a little sleepy. Seeing the two little guys coming out, she also walked in.The next morning.Judging from the monitor, it was obvious that those monsters had completely dispersed.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started planning how to get in.As long as these monsters hear no sound, they would not attack people.This undoubtedly solved many problems.However, only few people could go in, so Xing Beiyan only chose four people to follow him in, and the others stayed at the exit to help them.Yang Fan, Nan Sheng, Mo Fan, and An Yi were chosen."I'll go with you." Gu Xi was worried about the wounds on Xing Beiyan's body and wanted to go in with him."Mommy, I want to go too!" Seeing that she was going in, Tongtong hurriedly stood up.Gu Xi just thought that he didn't understand the danger inside. She touched his head and refused, "No, you can't go in. It's too dangerous inside.""It's okay. I can protect myself and mommy." Tongtong clenched his fists and
This little guy was too smart.He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.However, Gu Xi took it. Seeing Xing Beiyan's expression, she felt even more aggrieved. It seemed that if he disagreed again, she would run away from home."Okay, okay, I agree, okay?" In the end, he compromised helplessly. Then he took the clothes and went to the bathroom angrily.Gu Xi smiled, Tongtong smiled, and the little fox also laughed.When Xing Beiyan came out again, Gu Xi was lying on the side reading a book, while Tongtong and the little fox were sleeping in the middle of bed against her. Gu Xi was reading a book, and the two were looking at her. The scene was a little warm and pleasing.However, he still walked over with a dark face. He picked them up one by one with a disgusted look on his face. "You're so dirty. Go wash up and sleep."Tongtong and the little fox stared at him with their big, bony eyes, almost grimacing. However, when they looked into the man's deep and threatening eyes, the t
