He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

"Snapped!"

Qu Youyou's face suddenly turned to the side, and her fair left cheek quickly swelled up, revealing a handprint.

Qu Zhicheng was clearly furious. If Zhou Xiuying hadn't rushed in and grabbed his hand, he probably would have slapped her again.

"Talk to her nicely, you scared her." Zhou Xiuying patted Qu Zhicheng's chest to help him catch his breath.

Qu Zhicheng pointed a trembling finger at Qu Youyou: "From childhood to adulthood, how have we ever mistreated you?! How could we have raised you to be so vicious?!"

Qu Youyou covered her face.

"I'm vicious? Ha."

"Didn't you force me to do this? It's not enough that I'm here, you have to bring Qu Yi back. I hate her, and I hate you all. Now you're even breaking off my engagement with Jia Shi for Qu Yi's sake."

A marriage contract, a marriage contract, and more of a marriage contract!

Qu Zhicheng was even angrier, and his head was spinning.

She clearly knew Bai Jiashi was a bad person and wanted to find him someone with a good personality who would treat her well, but she didn't expect her to be so ungrateful.

"Fine!" Qu Zhicheng sighed heavily.

Zhou Xiuying seemed to know what he was going to say, but it was too late to stop him.

"The engagement won't be canceled. You can marry me if you want. I'm not going to care about you anymore."

In the end, the engagement wasn't canceled, but Qu Youyou felt a void in her heart, as if she had lost something more important.

The next day, while Qu Youyou was having breakfast, the servants came downstairs carrying several suitcases.

Qu Youyou looked closely and saw that they were all her things.

"you……"

“A father should be fair. Since Qu Yi has already moved out, you should move out too. I bought a house for Qu Yi, and I'll buy one for you too. Move in today.”

Qu Zhicheng walked downstairs, followed by Zhou Xiuying, who was holding Qu Xiaobao. She looked worried and didn't know what to do.

Qu Youyou stood up: "Dad!"

Qu Zhicheng waved his hand: "Let's go after we finish eating."

After saying that, he took Zhou Xiuying's hand and left.

Standing in the living room, even though there were several servants around, Qu Youyou felt an emptiness, both in the environment and in her heart.

It's so empty.

As her suitcase was loaded into the car, Qu Youyou looked back at the house she had lived in for over a decade.

How can these be the same?

Qu Yi moved out on her own, while she was kicked out.

*

Gu Yifan kept pestering Qu Yi during the holiday, both when they went out and when they stayed at home.

"Sister~"

The boy's soft, lingering voice made Qu Yi's ears tingle, but she was too embarrassed to rub them.

"speak nicely."

"What will I do if you go to university?" Gu Yifan asked, his voice filled with grievance. His long, narrow eyes, which had become rounder as his features matured, were now wide open.

"Can't I live without this?"

Having raised her younger brother for so long, Qu Yi naturally treated Gu Yifan differently from others, and at this moment, she also started joking.

"No!" Gu Yifan stated his opinion firmly.

"Stop fooling around." Qu Yi pushed his big head away.

Gu Yifan snorted, then leaned against her shoulder and played with her hand.

"I don't care, you have to come with me on a trip during the holidays."

"Sure, you can pay for it."

"can."

Qu Yi paused, then turned to look at him: "What did you say?"

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "I agree."

Qu Yi narrowed her eyes: "Where did you come from... Gu Yifan? You're doing part-time work again."

This is a declarative sentence.

Gu Yifan shook her arm, saying, "I can't keep relying on you to support me forever, or people will call me a gigolo."

"...You are indeed fair-skinned."

"Don't change the subject, come with me on a trip."

Gu Yifan knew Qu Yi's personality well, and after some persistent persuasion, she finally agreed.

In the following days, Gu Yifan happily worked on his strategy.

He wanted to cherish the last moments he could spend with Qu Yi and do something meaningful, because once Qu Yi went to university, he wouldn't be able to see her every day anymore.
