After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

The thin man sat in the lobby of the Gu Mansion, drinking tea slowly.

He looked around sharply and shouted, "Lu Yun, why hasn't Lord Gu gotten up yet? It's already noon."

Lu Yun looked towards Gu Ling's yard and said, "Maybe Master Gu has something to do..."

Zhang Su raised one eyebrow and sneered, "Is there anything more important than seeing me?"

Lu Yun lowered his head in embarrassment, perhaps it was more important than him.

At the same time, in the room, Meng Yin was having breakfast with Gu Ling.

She was brought here by Gu Ling yesterday afternoon. She felt sleepy at night and simply slept here. It would be a waste not to eat the free meal anyway.

"Gu Ling, how did you feel when you received the letter I wrote to you?" Meng Yin said, taking a bite of the steamed bun.

Gu Ling looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and said, "I am very happy."

Meng Yin blushed. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"I don't believe it. Who knows if you have received letters from other girls before." Meng Yin curled her lips and said deliberately.

"Of course not, but why are you asking this, Ayin?" He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her with burning eyes.

Meng Yin avoided his gaze and muttered, "I was just asking casually."

Seeing her shy face, Gu Ling's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he rarely refrained from teasing her again.

"I'm done eating. I'll be going back soon." Meng Yin stood up and said.

Gu Ling stood up and asked her jokingly, "Ayin, why did you write to me when I was not around?"

Meng Yin thought he was going to talk about it, so she subconsciously stood up straight and said, "Because I miss you a little."

"Really?" Gu Ling hugged her and asked.

Meng Yin looked at the joy in his eyes and reached out to hit him: "Isn't it obvious what I'm showing?"

Gu Ling sneered, and she looked at his chest rising and falling, her face slightly red.

Should she be with Gu Ling like Tao Tao and officially become boyfriend and girlfriend?

Meng Yin was so absorbed in thought that she didn't even notice Gu Ling lifting her chin.

Gu Ling was somewhat dissatisfied that she could still daydream in his arms, and rubbed her lower lip back and forth with his thumb. Meng Yin trembled violently, and her clear eyes were filled with a hint of shock.

"I think it can be more obvious." Gu Ling said.

"Obviously you're a nobody!" Meng Yin retorted bluntly, reaching out to tickle him.

Gu Ling obviously didn't fall for this trick. Her flustered behavior resulted in Gu Ling hugging her from behind, leaning against her ear and sniffing the fragrance of her neck.

This was the scene Zhang Su saw when he opened the door.

He froze where he was for a moment, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, and then he quickly regained his composure.

Gu Ling raised his head and frowned when he saw it was him: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Su looked at the person in his arms calmly and said, "I came to see what the adults were doing, but I didn't expect..."

"Get out." Gu Ling interrupted him silently.

Zhang Su's expression suddenly darkened, and the tips of his fingers gripping the door began to turn white.

"Did my parents tell you to come in without knocking?" he asked again, with obvious coldness in his tone.

Meng Yin could feel that he was in a bad mood. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he should be Gu Ling's subordinate?

She tugged at Gu Ling's clothes and said softly, "Don't be like this. I'll go out first and you guys talk."

Gu Ling disagreed. He hugged her tightly and didn't let her leave him even a step.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Sir Gu has become more capable." Zhang Su put on a kind smile, "Since Sir is still busy, I will come back later."

After saying that, he closed the door and walked out.

The moment he walked out the door, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

Lu Yun, who was not far away, was relieved to see him being driven out.

I told you not to let him go now. He disturbed the reunion between the adults and Miss Meng. It’s a good thing that he was not punished.

Although he thought so, Lu Yun still hurried forward to take care of the senior's feelings.

He said, "Miss Meng is very important to Lord Gu. Steward Zhang shouldn't go now."

Zhang Su sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Lu Yun, come with me."

"Yes."

In the room, Meng Yin got rid of Gu Ling and sat on the couch.

"Who is he?" she asked.

Gu Ling sat on the stool in front of her, supporting his knees with his hands: "He was my father's former subordinate. After my father passed away, he followed me."

Meng Yin frowned: "Why do you still have that attitude towards him? Aren't you afraid of disappointing him?"

Gu Ling smiled. In front of Meng Yin, he habitually put away his hostility.

"That depends on whether he has the heart or not."

Meng Yin curled her lips. It was not appropriate for her to ask too much about what was going on in their palace. Then she thought of other interesting things and started talking to him about them nonstop.

Gu Ling sat next to her, listened to her chatter patiently, and answered her childish and cute questions from time to time.

Zhang Su called Lu Yun and Qiao Yi into the house and sat on the chairs.

"You two have followed Lord Gu since childhood, so you must know his temper better than I do." He said, crossing his legs.

Lu Yun nodded: "Yes."

“Although Lord Gu is now the heir of the Gu family, he may not necessarily become the master of the Soul Devouring Hall. It is not a wise move for him to still be immersed in beauty.” He took a sip of tea, frowned, and looked very anxious.

Lu Yun and Qiao Yi looked at each other and said, "These are all Mr. Gu's private affairs. We have no right to interfere."

"Hmph!" He suddenly put the teacup on the table. "You are his confidants, why don't you think about him and give him advice? Are you going to watch him waste his career?!"

Lu Yun lowered his eyes, thinking, we know better than you.

The two did not refute. Zhang Su was a subordinate of the previous head of the Gu family and still had a lot of say in the palace.

"Who is that girl? Tell me about it!" he said.

Qiao Yi told him Meng Yin's basic background, and Zhang Su's face wrinkled.

"He would be interested in a girl of unknown origin like this?" He opened his mouth wide, his tone full of disdain.

Over the years, he secretly sent so many beauties to Gu Ling, but they were all dealt with by Gu Ling one by one. They never even got close to him. Now, he has fallen in love with a wild girl!

"Lu Yun, Qiao Yi, do as I say and don't let that girl get close to Lord Gu again!" he shouted.

Seeing the difficulty on their faces, he continued, "You also know how much he suffered before. Have you forgotten it?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Ask for advice, Chief Manager Zhang."

Zhang Su grinned, "Just do as I say, he won't blame you."

In Yiqing Mansion, Tao Tao felt that there were still hidden dangers if Lin Yue and Han Liuyi were left behind.

She went to Yiqing's study and told him about this.

When Yiqing saw her coming, he hurried forward and took her hand, and they sat on the chair together.

"Aqing, is it inappropriate to leave them here like this? Miss Han said that they have offended Bishui Villa. If the people from Bishui Villa knew they were here, would they cause trouble for you?" She looked worried.

"It's okay. I've asked Ah Shuo to ask the two of them. Miss Han said that they are from Nanshan Sword and it's just a personal grudge between sects." He said, playing with the hairband that Tao Tao used to tie her hair.

"Besides, there is no reason for us to offend them. They will not be in opposition to the Qianji Sect." Yiqing said again, his tone full of confidence and indifference.

"That's what I said..." Tao Tao lowered her head, "But what if I need their help in the future?"

"I understand your worries." Yi Qing held her hand, transmitting warm energy to her continuously. "The owner of Bishui Villa is an old acquaintance of mine. Their sect's affairs have nothing to do with us."

His words were like spring rain, nourishing her bit by bit, and moved her twice in just one day.

Tao Tao leaned on his chest and couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had made the right choice.
