The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 394 - 364: What Relationship?

The conversation is almost over, Lu Mengyi and her group leave.Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing go to the door to see them off. Once they’re gone, Qiao Yuxian turns around ready to run back inside.

Because she feels Gu Yanjing might not be very friendly.

But as she just makes a start, the back of her neck is grasped.

"Ah, help." Qiao Yuxian struggles wanting to run forward.

Gu Yanjing pulls her back, looking down at her.

Qiao Yuxian looks up at his eyebrows and eyes, and giggles, "Hubby, I’m in a hurry to go to the restroom."

"Really?" Gu Yanjing looks at her.

"Uh...probably." Qiao Yuxian feels guilty under his gaze.

"Qiao Yuxian." Gu Yanjing softly calls her name.

Qiao Yuxian immediately releases her hands, hugging him, face pressed against his chest, softly saying, "Hubby, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have casually flirted with Lu Mengyi; I was wrong. Even if she’s a girl, I shouldn’t flirt. What if she really falls for me? I’m so cute, so kind, so likable, doesn’t that mean I’ve created a romantic rival for you?"

Gu Yanjing holds her, lowering his eyes, listening to her say a bunch.

"Although I love only you in this lifetime, it’s my fault for not considering you." Qiao Yuxian’s arms hug his waist, "Rest assured, even if everyone in the world likes me, I will love only you. Apart from you, I won’t say a word to anyone else in the future."

Gu Yanjing looks at her.

When they first got their marriage certificate, she often treated him like this.

Now, she doesn’t treat him like this much, instead she starts with Lu Mengyi.

At that moment, Mr. Gu suddenly felt a crisis of not being unique.

But Gu Yanjing couldn’t do much about her, listening to her say a bunch, he ends up just touching her face, saying, "Go out for lunch?"

"Let’s eat at home." Qiao Yuxian looks up at him and says, "I want Aunt Qin’s cooking."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing lowers his head to kiss her lips.

On the second-floor balcony of the villa.

Housekeeper Lu with a notebook recording things to add, and Aunt Qin tidying the flowers on the balcony, both crane their necks looking down at the two kissing.

Aunt Qin smiles shyly.

Housekeeper Lu smiles with satisfaction.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian stroll around the yard for a while and when walking back, Qiao Yuxian asks, "By the way, I haven’t asked you. What happened after Dong Qian ended up in M Continent Prison?"

While at Yujing Manor, she was so busy dealing with the disappearance of various people that she completely forgot about Dong Qian.

Thinking about it now, Dong Qian must’ve done something unknown to her, prompting Gu Yanjing to take action regardless of Gu Linhai and the others.

"He hired someone to kill you." Gu Yanjing says.

Qiao Yuxian is somewhat surprised, yet not too surprised.

"Isn’t he a bit too extreme." Qiao Yuxian says helplessly, "Seeing me unfavorably, he just wants me to disappear directly."

"Living luxuriously, he can’t stand any grievance." Gu Yanjing says.

Qiao Yuxian nods, curious and asks, "So how did he plan it?"

"He used fifty thousand to bribe a truck driver with a criminal record." Mentioning this, Gu Yanjing’s voice involuntarily cools a bit.

Noticing his tone, Qiao Yuxian tightens her grip on his hand.

Gu Yanjing lowers his gaze, looking at her.

Qiao Yuxian smiles at him, "Don’t worry. A fortune teller on my street said I have a life destined for wealth and nobility, living up to ninety. They’re just little tricks."

Gu Yanjing smiles slightly.

They walk quietly for a while and Gu Yanjing adds, "Yan Zhiyao withdrew fifty thousand cash from his account."

Yan Zhiyao’s domestic account has long been checked.

His private accounts are chaotic; much of the money is known to be for unknown purposes.

He’s not only withdrawn cash once.

But fifty thousand only once stood out just now as Gu Yanjing suddenly thought of it.

Qiao Yuxian looks at him, "Are you suspecting..."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing says, "The fifty thousand cash Dong Qian used to hire someone never had its origins found."

Qiao Yuxian understands what he’s suspecting.

Following the Imperial Power Club incident, Gu Linhai had been trying clandestine methods.

Later, when the club was shut down, news spread all over the internet, and Gu Linhai spent money withdrawing posts.

Gu Linhai is Dong Qian’s brother-in-law.

The fifty thousand being taken from Yan Zhiyao isn’t impossible.

If true, funds inconveniently used from his account might be taken from there.

To ensure safety.

If Gu Linhai weren’t pushed as this time, they might never have known of the connection.

"What do you think their relationship is?" Qiao Yuxian asks.

Gu Yanjing looks at her.

Both stare at each other without speaking, but they both see the speculation in each other’s eyes.

It’s just speculation, without any evidence.

So neither speaks aloud.

Qiao Yuxian quirks an eyebrow, pulls Gu Yanjing towards the villa, "Quickly, the sun’s scorching."

Gu Yanjing follows her into the living room.

...

After lunch, Qiao Yuxian goes to the study to review the surveillance Meng Yan found once more.

Gu Yanjing also works in the study.

Both quietly immerse themselves seriously, without disturbing each other.

After about two hours, Housekeeper Lu knocks and enters saying, "Sir, Madam, Young Master Yicheng is here."

Qiao Yuxian feels her eyes straining from the screen, looking up at Housekeeper Lu.

Gu Yanjing gives him a glance, saying, "Got it, let him wait."

"Alright." Housekeeper Lu exits.

Gu Yanjing continues working, and Qiao Yuxian keeps watching the surveillance.

Another two hours pass.

Gu Yanjing finally shuts the computer and caps his pen.

Qiao Yuxian looks at him and mimics the motion to shut her computer.

Gu Yanjing turns to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian smiles at him, "Going to educate your brother?"

"Are you coming?" Gu Yanjing asks.

"I’m not going." Qiao Yuxian replies, "It might be a bit brutal. I’ll go find Ji Xiaoxiao."

"Okay."

Qiao Yuxian stands up, stretches ready to leave.

But Gu Yanjing wraps his arm around her waist, pulls her closer, and places her on the desk.

Qiao Yuxian looks at him, "What’s up?"

Gu Yanjing doesn’t speak, focuses on her lips, after a moment, kisses her.

The kiss lasts over ten minutes, then Gu Yanjing takes a long pause.

Another several minutes pass.

Gu Yicheng waits in the living room, clothes soaked.

He has been waiting for Ji Xiaoxiao these days to come out of Jingyu Garden.

Over a week passed, didn’t even see a strand of her hair, can’t call, messages unanswered.

Unable to wait any longer, he comes to Jingyu Garden.

He’s prepared, at worst a beating, hospital stay, maybe Ji Xiaoxiao might show some sympathy. The source of thɪs content is novelhall.com

Yet upon arrival, waits two hours to the left, two to the right, still waiting.

The initial impulsiveness has worn off.

Now only boundless fear remains.

Wants to leave, but the housekeeper won’t let him, presses the threat of Gu Yanjing so he dares not go.

Waiting in the living room for hours, feels like an axe hanging overhead, surely to fall, not knowing when.

Just sits in the living room, trembling uncontrollably, sweating, feeling completely crushed...
