The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 391 - 361: Where’s Mine?

Jingyu GardenSince entering Jingyu Street, Ji Xiaoxiao kept looking outside.

We are already within the area of Jingyu Garden, rarely does anyone come here, and the vehicles passing by are all checked.

"You’ve moved here?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes," Qiao Yuxian replied, "we just came over yesterday."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked outside and after a while asked, "Why just move now? Most of the Gu Family say that Mr. Gu doesn’t want you at all, that’s why he keeps making you stay outside."

Qiao Yuxian said, "Is that so?"

"Yes," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "you don’t know how annoying some relatives are. On the surface, they’re all friendly, but behind the scenes, they’re trying to sow discord with me. Saying things like how Gu Yicheng and Gu Yanjing are the same, and why the Gu Family should belong to Gu Yanjing and not Gu Yicheng."

Qiao Yuxian smiled slightly.

Zhao Meng glanced at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian asked, "How did you respond?"

"How could I respond?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Of course, I just laughed it off. Even if I had ulterior motives, Gu Yanjing is the opponent, Gu Yanjing! Playing with him is courting death, isn’t it? Why would I ruin a comfortable life out of boredom?"

Zhao Meng was amused by her.

"Qiao Yuxian, did you know? When others said Mr. Gu didn’t want you, I thought they were big fools." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"Why?" Qiao Yuxian asked, curious.

"Mr. Gu’s eyes are practically glued to you. Although I can’t see any emotion from him, I’m quite certain that he loves you deeply. They even said Mr. Gu is just playing with you." Ji Xiaoxiao snorted, "I really think their heads are filled with rainbow bubbles."

Qiao Yuxian smiled again, "Your description is quite unique."

"You’re pretty good at focusing on the key points." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

When they arrived at Jingyu Garden, the gates opened, and Zhao Meng’s car drove straight in.

Until they reached the villa entrance, Zhao Meng directly opened the trunk, which was full of items.

The housekeeper came with several people to take the things down.

Qiao Yuxian said to Zhao Meng, "Really not staying for a night?"

"No," Zhao Meng said, "my mom is still waiting for me at home, I’ll come here for a holiday some other day."

"It is quite suitable for a vacation," Ji Xiaoxiao commented from the side.

"Mr. Gu." Zhao Meng saw Gu Yanjing come out and greeted.

Gu Yanjing nodded, walked to Qiao Yuxian’s side, looked at her, then gently pinched her cheek.

Qiao Yuxian pulled down his hand and smiled at him, then said to Zhao Meng, "Let someone drive you back, it’s too late and quite far."

"No need, I can drive myself." Zhao Meng said.

"Woman! Don’t argue with me. What I say goes!" Qiao Yuxian suddenly raised her chin, "Sending you off!"

Zhao Meng subconsciously glanced at Gu Yanjing, worried he might think something was wrong with Qiao Yuxian and throw her out.

But Gu Yanjing just had a slight smile in his eyes, with no other reaction.

Ji Xiaoxiao watched them from the side.

Zhao Meng said, "Alright."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, "Woman! So obedient!"

Zhao Meng looked at her, quickly left, unable to endure another second.

After Zhao Meng left, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Gu, sorry to disturb."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Even though he wasn’t in Capital City these days, he knew what Gu Yicheng had been up to.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn’t mention it, but he could guess the gist.

He said, "It’s fine. Stay as long as you like. It’s Gu Yicheng’s mistake, any needs can be addressed to the Gu Family."

Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head and added, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

...

Qiao Yuxian showed Ji Xiaoxiao around Jingyu Garden, giving her a rough introduction, then took her to the room on the fourth floor.

After getting her settled, Qiao Yuxian went downstairs.

Gu Yanjing was waiting for her on the first floor, having a staring contest with Zhaocai.

Zhaocai had already lost, but upon hearing Qiao Yuxian’s footsteps, gained momentum again.

However... Gu Yanjing turned and left, not even glancing at it.

Zhaocai spun around in frustration several times where it stood.

Qiao Yuxian originally went downstairs to find Gu Yanjing, but upon seeing the things she bought today, she sat on the ground to look at them.

As she heard Gu Yanjing approaching, she picked up a ceramic doll she bought and said, "Look, doesn’t it look like Shang Chen?"

Gu Yanjing looked at the doll with its angry eyebrows and dark complexion.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I bought it especially for Shang Chen, to give to him when he gets back. And this one, I bought for Su Qi."

Gu Yanjing looked at the "Love Bible: Direct to Happy Life" in her hand.

"This is for Meng Yan." Qiao Yuxian showed him an eye massager.

Meng Yan has been going to the hospital a few times due to eye strain.

"This, this." Qiao Yuxian took out four long boxes containing four paintings, "These are for ’Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon.’"

For Wan Ying, for Housekeeper Lu, for Aunt Mei and Aunt Qin, for Zhaocai Doujin.

The final pile of clothes was for herself.

Qiao Yuxian introduced each item to Gu Yanjing, then looked at him and said, "These were all bought with your money."

Gu Yanjing squatted beside her, looking at her.

Seeing him remain silent, Qiao Yuxian thought for a while and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her for a moment and said, "What about mine?"

Even though his tone was the same as usual, cool, steady, plain.

Qiao Yuxian still felt he was somewhat pitiful.

On the other side of the wall, Housekeeper Lu and Aunt Qin exchanged glances.

In each other’s eyes, they saw shock and heartache.

The cat and dog both got gifts, but their Mr. Gu didn’t.

What did Mr. Gu experience during the months he wasn’t at Jingyu Garden? How did things become so sad after going away once?

Qiao Yuxian pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, then said, "I spent your money to buy so many things for your friends and wife to make them happy. Their happiness is my gift to you."

Gu Yanjing watched her with a little mischievous expression, holding the back of her neck, pulling her forward slightly, and gently kissed her lips.

Qiao Yuxian moved closer to him, putting her hand on his knee, looking at him, "Are my gifts good?"

"Mm." Gu Yanjing replied.

"Satisfied?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.

"Mm." Gu Yanjing kissed her again.

Qiao Yuxian smiled, "Then I’ll give you another one."

She said as she took out a gift box from a bag she just bought.

Opening the gift box, inside was a tie pin. It had a light blue diamond embedded in it, resembling Gu Yanjing’s aura, with a certain iciness to it.

"I bought this with my own money." Qiao Yuxian’s face showed an expression waiting to be praised.

Gu Yanjing placed his thumb and index finger on her chin, pinching her cheek.

Qiao Yuxian smiled smugly, "Nice, right?"

"Mm." Gu Yanjing replied.

"Wear it to work tomorrow." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Okay."
