Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Chen patted Gu Xiaos head and finally withdrew his hand.

But it should be Xiaoxiaos, we cant just give it to someone else. Ji Chens voice was calm, but Gu Xiao could hear the determination in his words.

Because of this sliver of protectiveness from Ji Chen, Gu Xiaos heart felt warm.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Ji Chen. Okay, 1 understand.

If Ji Chen really wanted to do something, she would cooperate. Anyway, it would not change much for her.

Hearing what Gu Xiao said, Ji Chen nodded and told Gu Xiao to get some rest. Then he turned around and went upstairs.

When Ji Chen took his first step up the stairs, Gu Xiaos voice suddenly came from behind.

Brother, do you really not blame me?

Ji Chen stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Gu Xiao seriously.

I wont blame you.

Although Old Master Ji doted on him, he didnt spend much time by Old Master Jis side. He had too many things to learn in his childhood and didnt have much time to focus on this area.

Moreover, he knew that Old Master Ji only doted on him because he was the only heir of the Ji family. True love Who knew how much of that was actually there?

Previously, the entire Ji residence was just a house to Ji Chen. It was only after Gu Xiao came back that he strengthened his relations.h.i.+p with the Ji Family.

Dont think too much. Seeing Gu Xiaos relaxed expression, Ji Chen knew that he had really calmed her down and went upstairs again.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chens disappearing figure and smiled.

After returning to her room, she called Chu An.

Chu An seemed to have been waiting for her call. As soon as she made the call, the other party immediately picked up.

h.e.l.lo? Xiaoxiao? How was your visit to Old Master Ji today?

Gu Xiao sat by the bed and listened to Chu Ans voice. Only then did she finally feel that what happened today was real.

She laughed softly, then told him everything that had happened that day.

Seeing that Gu Xiao wasnt bullied, Chu An was relieved.

Hows the situation online now? Gu Xiao asked softly.

Youre still worried when Im the one dealing with things? The current situation online is one-sided, and theyre all supporting you! If the Ji family has any reservations because of the comments online, they wont do anything to you.

Hearing Chu Ans words, Gu Xiao was slightly relieved.

She was still young. Even if she had the protection of the Chu family, it was still impossible for her to go against the Ji family. Furthermore, Ji Gao was ambitious now. He would definitely not let her ruin his plan!

The comments online were also a form of protection for Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao said a few more words to Chu An before reluctantly hanging up.

On the other side, Jiang He had not given up on using Old Master Ji to chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji family.

At night, Jiang He and Ji Gao lay on the same bed. They were clearly husband and wife, but there was still a considerable gap between the two of them.

Hubby, youve seen Gu Xiaos performance today. Shes so young, yet shes so reckless and bold in front of Dad. I wonder what shell do when she grows up. Do you still insist on keeping Gu Xiao?

As Jiang He spoke, she turned over and placed one hand under her head. She looked at Ji Gao with a worried and fearful gaze.

Ji Gao was lying flat on the bed with his hands obediently placed on his abdomen. When he heard Jiang Hes words, he did not answer for a moment.

When Jiang He saw this, she did not mind and continued to persuade him. Its not just that child Ah Wen now. Even Dad wants to chase Gu Xiao away. Are you not even willing to listen to Dads words?

Upon hearing this, Ji Gao, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A trace of darkness and viciousness flashed across his eyes.

You dont have to talk about this anymore. 1 know how to deal with it!

Jiang He moved closer to Ji Gao and placed her fair hand on Ji Gaos chest, gently caressing it.

Her voice was low, with a hint of grievance, and her expression darkened.

Youve never been so cold to me before. During this period of time, think about how long youve neglected me. As she spoke, Jiang He directly leaned her head against Ji Gaos chest and listened to his heartbeat.

Ji Gaos eyes flashed. He reached out and held the hand that was messing around on his chest.

Dont worry, Ill consider this matter carefully. Ill go and probe the Chu family again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang He hummed softly and did not say anything else..
