Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 88

Tian Tian's brows furrowed slightly, a look of helplessness and worry mingling in her eyes. She slowly turned and looked at the innocent yet radiant Gu Ling behind her. She was probably the first princess, ancient or modern, to dare to joke with the king's crown, not to mention losing the jewels. Oh my god, what a mess had this little girl gotten herself into!

"You, are you kidding me?"

Tian Tian's mood was like fallen leaves blown by a strong wind, in a mess. There was a trembling of disbelief in her words. When she looked at Gu Ling, there was both astonishment and indescribable emotions surging in her eyes.

"No!" Ling's expression was unusually serious, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. "I just wanted to use the hat to shoot a video for fun, but I didn't expect the gem on it to be so fragile that it fell off."

When saying this, Gu Ling's face was obviously a little aggrieved, as if the falling of the gem was entirely due to the poor quality of the hat and had nothing to do with him at all.

"That's the symbol of royal power. How can you joke about it?" Xiao Ran sighed softly, touching his forehead with his fingertips and rubbing his temples, trying to dispel the hidden pain caused by helplessness. As he shook his head, he showed a bit of bitterness and powerlessness.

"I didn't think too much about it, really." Gu Ling quickly defended, "I just saw that many girls in China like to make videos, so I just wanted to make one to show off. How could I have thought too much about it!"

"Then can you tell me, where are the gems?"

Xiao Ran didn't want to care what she wanted to do with the crown. She rushed here in such a hurry this time just to find the whereabouts of the gem immediately.

"I didn't take it!" Gu Ling's eyes flashed with panic when she heard that. She quickly defended herself, her voice trembling with sincerity. "I was scared when I saw the gem fall, so I put the crown back. The gem should still be in the room where the crown was. As for where it fell, I really don't know. I was so scared that I put the crown down and ran out, and came directly to Brother Gu Cai."

Xiao Ran's gaze swept across Gu Ling like ice. The chill in that instant made Gu Ling shiver involuntarily. She almost instinctively retreated, sticking tightly behind Tian Tian, ​​and never dared to stick her head out again.

Xiao Ran didn't look at Gu Ling anymore, he just took out his phone and chattered something to the people inside. Tian Tian didn't understand what they were saying, but she saw Gu Ling's expression kept changing with Xiao Ran's words.

Finally, as Xiao Ran finished his last words, Gu Ling's expression seemed to clear, her tense nerves instantly relaxing. She breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She slowly walked away from Tian Tian, ​​her steps stumbling but filled with a sense of relief. Finally, she fell to the floor in an almost exaggerated manner, and the sound of her "thump" seemed to announce the unraveling of some kind of emotional knot.

"Oh my god, I was really scared." Gu Ling patted his chest repeatedly with his hands, and there was an uncertain light in his eyes, as if he was trying to calm the sudden fear into nothingness.

"Is it okay?" Tian Tianxin asked cautiously.

Gu Ling nodded, "I just said I didn't take it!" Gu Ling's mouth corners unconsciously rose when she heard that, and a smug light flashed in her eyes. She nodded lightly, with a bit of pride and relief in her tone.

"You are lucky that the gem was found. Otherwise, even if your brother Gu Cai came back, he would not be able to avenge you." Xiao Ran was secretly glad in his heart. If the gem really could not be found, this little ancestor would have been in big trouble.

"Since everything is fine, can you guys go out now?" Tian Tian stood up and looked at the two of them with an unhappy expression. Her voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.

Xiao Ran heard this and smiled faintly. He didn't really care about Tian Tian's words. On the contrary, Gu Ling, who was sitting on the ground, was unwilling to leave. He stood up from the ground and said, "I, I don't want to go with her."

Gu Ling's words were trembling, and her fingers were pointing at Xiao Ran with trembling hands. There was not only fear in her eyes, but more of disgust.

"Do you think I want to take you with me? If you weren't a princess, I wouldn't bother with you." Xiao Ran looked at Gu Ling with disdain.

There was a cunning light in Gu Ling's eyes. She walked lightly to Tian Tian's side and took Tian Tian's arm affectionately with her unique agility. A brilliant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "That's perfect. Anyway, we are in China now. Don't treat me like a princess. It just so happens that we both don't like each other. You can do what you want. As for me, it's just right to go and play with my brother Gu Cai." Then she smiled cunningly at Tian Tian, ​​"Sister, can you take me to see brother Gu Cai?"

Tian Tian felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She was about to find a gentle excuse to get out, but she saw Xiao Ran standing up as steady as a mountain. Her face was solemn, and she shouted loudly, "No."

Xiao Ran stretched out his body, as swift as a cheetah hunting, and instantly crossed the distance, easily picking up Gu Ling who was hiding behind Tian Tian's back. Gu Ling's petite body looked particularly weak and helpless against the backdrop of Xiao Ran at this moment.

"What are you doing? Let me go. I don't want to go with you!"

Gu Ling's voice was filled with stubbornness and fear as she twisted her body and struggled. Despite her efforts, she was ultimately unable to break free from the restraints of those strong and powerful hands.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, no matter where you are, as long as I am your personal bodyguard, you cannot leave my sight. It is my responsibility to protect your safety." Xiao Ran said to Gu Ling with unquestionable seriousness.

"Don't you want to not be with me either? Then why are you still holding on to me? Can't we just pretend we haven't met?" Gu Ling's voice was choked with sobs, and she shouted to Xiao Ran almost pleadingly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's lips curled into a sly and mysterious smile. To Gu Ling, this smile seemed to contain endless secrets and calculations, and she couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. "So, since we both don't like each other, I've come up with a solution that will have the best of both worlds."

"What?" Gu Ling felt an ominous premonition in her heart when she heard this, but she still tried to remain calm, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

Sure enough, in just a moment, Xiao Ran's voice, tinged with pride and cunning, rang out softly. Each word he spoke was filled with a firmness that could not be ignored. "I will send you back today. As long as I hand you over to the Queen, I won't have to be with you anymore, and you won't have to see me anymore!"

"No, I don't want to go back. I just came to China. I haven't played with Brother Gu Cai yet, eaten delicious food, or bought nice clothes. I don't want to go back." Gu Ling's voice was mixed with anxiety and reluctance, and her struggle became more intense.

She turned around abruptly and looked at Tian Tian. Her eyes seemed to be filled with grievance and helplessness that were about to overflow. She cried to Tian Tian for help, "Sister, please save me. I don't want to be sent back like this."

Tian Tian looked at Gu Ling's pitiful appearance and wanted to say a few good words for her. But Xiao Ran seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly, "Don't even think about saying good things for her. If I hand her over to you, you will definitely regret your decision today."

Tian Tian looked at Xiao Ran's serious expression, then at Gu Ling's pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but think of the trouble she had caused before coming to China this time. Her heart tightened, and she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Then, Tian Tian moved aside, making way for the two of them. Seeing Tian Tian's action, Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction, while Gu Ling became even more desperate. She seemed to have lost all her strength to struggle, and even her shouts seemed superfluous and powerless. Perhaps she knew that her desire to stay in China was completely gone.

"I'll come back to find you." Xiao Ran pulled Gu Ling past Tian Tian and left these words when they passed by Tian Tian.

Tian Tian met his gaze without flinching, confusion and stubbornness flashing in her eyes, although she still didn't know why Xiao Ran was so hostile towards her.

Just as the two were about to leave, Gu Ling suddenly exerted force, clasped her fingertips tightly around the door frame, and looked back with an almost stubborn attitude. Her clear eyes flashed with sincerity and expectation. She gently and firmly called out to Tian Tian, ​​who was still immersed in her thoughts.

"Sister, even though you didn't help me today, I still like you very much. I will definitely come back to see you."

Hearing Gu Ling's words, Tian Tian couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and gave her a smile that was uglier than crying.

Gu Ling smiled sweetly at Tian Tian again, "And sister, when you come to China in the future, remember to call me Xia Ling. This is my name in China!"

After Gu Ling finished her last sentence, she was ruthlessly dragged out by Xiao Ran. Gu Ling's almost desperate cry was heard again in the corridor.

"Let me go~ I don't want to go with you~ you crazy woman~"

"Who are these people?" Tian Tian was about to cry. These two people suddenly appeared, inexplicably caused a commotion, and then inexplicably left. Until this moment, Tian Tian still had no idea what their purpose was in coming here. And that iceberg-like Xiao Ran, where did her inexplicable hostility towards her come from?

"Wait, that's not right!" Tian Tian seemed to remember something and looked towards the door. "Gu Ling just said her Chinese name is Xia Ling? Is her last name also Xia?"
