evening.

The butler looked at the second young master at the door and Xie Yan carrying luggage, and fell into deep thought.

It seems they didn't expect the second young master to bring someone home today.

Xie Yan stood behind Shen Yan, having changed into a beautiful dress and applied red lipstick, looking stunning.

"Butler Zhang, Miss Xie is having some trouble at home lately and would like to stay here for a few days," Shen Yan said.

Compared to Xie Yan's two suitcases, Shen Yan's backpack seemed very light, as if he hadn't packed much luggage.

The butler, of course, knew Xie Yan's identity, so he smiled, his weathered old eyes crinkling into wrinkles. "Welcome, Miss Xie. Please come in quickly, I'll go and tell the master."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, her posture very elegant, "Thank you for your trouble."

The housekeeper led the person inside, asked Xie Yan to wait downstairs for a moment, and then went upstairs.

Gu Jinhua had just finished her work and was now sitting in her study drinking tea.

Lifting the tea lid, the tea liquor was clear and the aroma was wonderful. Gu Jinhua took a small sip and let out a satisfied sigh.

Gu Qingyu has been busy with the listing of his small company lately, and hasn't paid much attention to things at home. It's all his old bones doing all the work at the company.

And then there's Shen Yan, that kid who only knows how to study all day long. He's even living right next to the school, and he never comes back to spend more time with me.

Ugh.

She was someone I met halfway through life, so we're not close.

Just then, there was a knock on the study door, and the butler came in.

He recounted how Xie Yan had come directly to his door.

"...Miss Xie's arrival today was indeed a bit unexpected. Do you think I should decline?"

Gu Jinhua lowered her head and drank her tea, her face showing no particular surprise.

This marriage was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, a small favor he made; he didn't even consider the Xie family worthy of his attention.

Besides, his current fiancé isn't even a biological son of the Xie family; he doesn't care about him at all.

It's all because Gu Qingyu seems to have developed a strong interest in a bar girl, which has made Gu Jinhua feel threatened.

Logically speaking, it's perfectly normal for people of their social class to have some fun with a woman; it's not worth mentioning at all.

However, Gu Qingyu has always been an excellent student and a womanizer. He had previously been introduced to some young ladies from prominent families, but Gu Qingyu rejected them all.

Turning around, Gu Jinhua discovered that he had been entangled with a bar girl several times, which made Gu Jinhua wary.

As their family has reached this level, marriage is no longer just a matter for Gu Qingyu alone.

Gu Jinhua didn't consider herself that old-fashioned, nor did she necessarily want a business marriage to find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, since none of them were as strong as the Gu family.

But at least the families should be of similar social standing, or at least roughly equal.

How good can the women in bars be?

So Gu Jinhua brought up their old childhood betrothal and dumped it on Gu Qingyu.

Since they were already engaged, they decided to cut off his messy thoughts immediately.

Once Gu Qingyu breaks up with that ambiguous woman, the Xie family can be discarded.

It's just an engagement, not a wedding. It's perfectly normal to cancel the engagement if something happens unexpectedly.

It seems that Gu Qingyu's indifference towards the Xie family has made her anxious, which is why she's decided to move in directly, hoping to take advantage of her proximity.

Seeing is believing, that's really stupid.

"No need. Just arrange a guest room for her. I won't be home after this. Take good care of her and don't lower yourself to the level."

"Ok."

The butler then left.

While they were talking, Xie Yan sat on the sofa on the first floor and waited.

The Gu family home is so big. With the high ceiling in the living room on the first floor, Xie Yan felt that she could fall to her death in the living room if she jumped from the second floor.

A luxurious crystal chandelier hangs overhead, each petal reflecting a soft, flowing light, bright and dazzling.

The small coffee table in front of the sofa is made of white jade, which is warm and delicate, and its value is simply immeasurable.

Shen Yan was also considered the host, and in accordance with the principle of not neglecting his guests, he sat down to keep them company.

"Miss Xie, please have some water." Shen Yan politely handed her a glass of water.

His fingers were long and slender, white, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, like the roots of a scallion, and looked beautiful resting on the sparkling glass.

Like delicate jade, it was even more eye-catching than the white jade tea table in front of her.

Xie Yan coughed twice. "What did you call me?"

I finally managed to act normal around noon, but now I'm being all polite to her again.

Why are the upperclassmen and underclassmen from the same school always calling me "Miss Xie" like I'm attending some high-class event?

The person next to her paused, then sighed almost imperceptibly, "Have some water, senior."

"..."

Okay, you win.

Xie Yan took the water glass.

A short while later, the housekeeper came down and eagerly helped Xie Yan with her luggage. "Miss Xie, please come with me. You can stay on the third floor."

"Okay, thank you."

Xie Yan's suitcases are all huge.

Both 28-inch suitcases were packed full, suggesting they were ready to settle down and live in Gujia for a long time.

The butler was, after all, an old man, and even pushing one person was difficult for him.

Shen Yan lent a hand, and with one suitcase for each of them, they took the elevator and escorted Xie Yan to her guest room.

The room was bright and clean, with a desk, wardrobe, and other amenities. It was carpeted, and the bed looked fluffy and soft. The decorations were exquisite and beautiful.

Although it's called a guest room, Xie Yan thinks it could be rented out separately for 5,000 yuan.

Wow, that's incredibly extravagant!

After closing the door, Xie Yan sat on the bed and took out her phone.

Her phone had been vibrating non-stop since the beginning.

Xie Qingyu's WeChat messages are about to explode.

"Sis, you're here?! Sis!!!"

"Do you live on the third floor? I live on the second floor!"

"I'm so excited! I'm so excited!!"

"I really wanted to come see you, but my second brother wouldn't let me, saying it wouldn't fit my character..."

"Or you could come find me, sis, hehehe..."

Even through the screen, Xie Yan could picture Xie Qingyu with dog ears sticking out and his tongue lolling out, looking completely silly.

What a stupid dog.

Xie Yan tossed her phone aside and turned to pack her luggage.

She brought quite a lot of things, so we need to organize them properly. Among them is a computer she recently assembled from parts she bought at the computer mall, which is quite precious.

Xie Qingyu paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

He would glance at his phone every now and then.

Why hasn't his sister come to find him yet?

He was so exhausted from acting that only Xie Yan could let him relax and let loose.

Ugh, the pressure is too much!!

He's going crazy!!

go Ape!!!

He had an epileptic seizure!

Even 2222 couldn't stand it anymore; it felt that the host's mental state was just too beautiful.

It was really afraid that one night Xie Qingyu would be under too much pressure and sleepwalk in the middle of the living room, dancing on a pole.

That's trouble.

2222 made a sound.

[Hey host, open the system shop, go to the second page of advanced items, there's a tool in the bottom right corner that you should be able to use.]

【what? 】

Xie Qingyu finally stopped and opened the store panel to take a closer look.

According to my second brother, the tool in the bottom right corner of the second page of advanced items is called "Whispering Sound".

what is this?

Xie Qingyu clicked in and took a look.

[A whispered message: Are you still heartbroken because the one you love is ignoring you?]

Are you still feeling down because that special someone isn't replying to your messages?

Don't be afraid! Your strong one is here!

Add the secret voice chat feature now to communicate your innermost thoughts and exchange meaningful glances! From now on, perfect understanding between minds will no longer be a dream!

Xie Qingyu grimaced as he watched.

What, what, what.

What is this.

2222 explained to him considerately.

[It's a tool that allows you to communicate directly with Xie Yan using your brain. You can achieve eye-to-eye communication simply by using this function.]

Xie Qingyu: ...Okay, that's so abstract...

[Furthermore! When using this feature, your thoughts will be directly transmitted to the other person, making it impossible for them to pretend they didn't see them.]

Xie Qingyu: ...Okay, I'm so tempted...

Xie Qingyu admitted he was deeply moved. "So, how many points?"

2222: [Ten thousand!]

[Holy crap! Why don't you just rob it?!]

He works himself to death on a task for only a thousand or two?! How many 8 AM meetings would he have to attend to earn ten thousand points?!

【Oh dear, but this is a permanent item, not a disposable one. As long as you're within 80 kilometers of each other, you can use it, making communication so convenient!】

That's true.

Xie Qingyu became agitated again.

He paced around the room several times, finally gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll buy it! I'll buy it!!"

He only has this one relative in the world, his own sister, so he might as well spend the points!

Besides, that's brain-to-brain communication!

So cool!

2222 laughed heartily.

...if it had a face.

As the system beeped, Xie Qingyu knew he was broke again.

it's fine!

His power has arrived!!

The props had just been loaded, and before he could even try them out, someone came to call him down for dinner.

It is said that Miss Xie has already gone downstairs.

Xie Qingyu chuckled and quickly changed his clothes before going downstairs.

------

Although Xie Yan came uninvited today, and her behavior of bringing her luggage to offer herself as a bedmate was extremely shameless.

However, Gu Jinhua still treated her very kindly, as if she really regarded Xie Yan as her future daughter-in-law.

After all, he hadn't achieved his primary goal yet, so Xie Yan, his fiancée, was still somewhat useful.

The chef prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Gu Jinhua sat in the main seat, Xie Yan sat on the left, and Shen Yan sat in the second seat on the right.

The first position on the right belongs to Gu Qingyu.

He was late.

His aloof and indifferent face was expressionless, except when he saw Xie Yan, he frowned and showed a hint of annoyance.

It was as if he utterly loathed his fiancée.

Xie Qingyu has now learned to act, and he believes that if he were to enter the entertainment industry, he would definitely become a double Best Actor.

Gu Jinhua saw all his little expressions and sneered inwardly.

You little brat, do you think I can't handle you? So what if you don't like it? There's nothing I can do.

Now that the engaged couple is living together, bar girl will probably back off if nothing unexpected happens.

Although Gu Jinhua didn't like Xie Yan, he was quite satisfied with the role she played.

Xie Yan sighed inwardly and mentally prepared herself.

It's okay, I'll just risk all my pride today!

Then she raised her sycophantic smile, her face beaming, her voice sweet and charming.

"Qingyu! Over here! Sit over here with me~"

Young Master Gu's tall body trembled visibly.

He glared at Xie Yan, then sat back down on the right.

If you're going to act, then you're just acting! Why make it so good?

That's really scary!

Mother Gu has gone back to her hometown these past few days and is not at the Gu residence, so the whole family is here now.

Gu Jinhua is nearly fifty years old, but she has a good bone structure and her face is very slender, so she doesn't look old at all.

He appears to be a charming and handsome older man, yet he can still captivate many young women.

Xie Yan still remembered seeing a young Gu Jinhua outside a hotel when she was a child.

Now I only feel that the eyebrows and eyes are still very similar to those back then, but they are not as sharp as they used to be.

He's become much more cunning, like an old fox.

The old fox began to speak.

He made grand pronouncements welcoming Xie Yan to his home, but Xie Yan dismissed them as mere empty talk.

If it weren't for that old geezer, would the minor villain have suffered so much?

A man who can't control his lust and has no sense of responsibility, haha.

At this moment, the system spoke up: "[Host, you have received a friend request from Youyou Miyin.]"

What is that?

The system explained it to her, and Xie Yan listened while glancing towards Xie Qingyu.

He pretended not to know anything and looked down at the chopsticks.

There are actually two chopsticks in this pair.

It's a pair!

Xie Yan silently accepted the invitation.

Then Xie Qingyu's voice immediately rang in my mind.

[Sister, sister, sister, can you hear me? One, two, three, four, five, let's go up the mountain to fight the tiger! Sister, sister, why aren't you done yet? Second brother, are you lying to me, sister, sister—]

Xie Yan was startled.

I rely on.

One Xie Qingyu is worth two hundred ducks.

Seemingly sensing Xie Yan's stiffness, Xie Qingyu raised his handsome face, his expression cold and aloof, like an iceberg.

[Hey sis, you can finally hear me! This feature cost me 10,000 points!!!]

Before Xie Yan could react, the old fox's gaze also turned over, "...Little Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Yan's eyes darted around. Although she hadn't noticed what the old fox had just said, she knew that acting was the way to go!

She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, then looked at Young Master Gu with tender affection, "Yes, you're right, I'm doing this for Qingyu..."

Before she finished speaking, she gave him a shy and flirtatious wink, "I believe Qingyu will accept me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhua looked at her eldest son with satisfaction.

His eldest son remained as cold as ever... well.

wrong.

Why is his eldest son, who is usually so composed, flaring his nostrils, twitching his mouth, and exhibiting facial muscle dysregulation?

It looked like he'd been electrocuted!

Xie Qingyu: [Hahaha, I'm begging you, sis, your acting is good enough, you're trying to become a movie queen if you act this well???]

Xie Yan, full of mischief: [You're always so cheeky, keep going.]

Xie Yan kept winking at Xie Qingyu, her flirtatious glances almost enough to trap flies.

Xie Qingyu was about to burst out laughing; he clenched his fists tightly and tried his best to control his expression.

I can't hold it in any longer!

Damn smirk!

I command you!

Get down here!

Nostrils, stop trembling! It makes me look really stupid!

As a result, Young Master Gu's expression became increasingly strange and ferocious.

The nanny and cook standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what the young master was smoking today... no, I mean, what had happened!

Finally, the young master slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily!

His eyes, filled with an inscrutable emotion, stared intently at Xie Yan before he left the table with a twitching expression.

The food on the table remained untouched.

How angry did they get?!

Do you really hate Miss Xie to that extent?

It's so scary.

Xie Yan also tried hard to pinch her thigh to keep her expression, her throat was incredibly itchy.

She was also struggling to hold back her laughter, pressing her lips tightly together to prevent herself from laughing.

After a long while, everyone finally heard Xie Yan's voice.

Her voice was soft and low, and trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please excuse me for a moment."

After saying that, she got up and ran away.

The voice sounded like someone was crying, and there seemed to be tears in their eyes.

At first glance, it's obvious she ran to the bathroom to hide and cry.

I didn't expect Miss Xie to be so emotionally fragile.

Sigh, Miss Xie is really deeply in love!
