The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 462 - 428: Be Good to You

"Gu Yanjing, speak up. Who are you holding? If you do wrong by my little sister-in-law, it will drag me down too," Lin Huai Shu said as he walked toward him, "If you do wrong by her, Le Chu will ignore me as well.""Stop right there."

Gu Yanjing uttered two words amidst Lin Huai Shu’s shouting.

Lin Huai Shu suddenly halted in his tracks, his voice disappearing as he looked at Gu Yanjing in shock.

He yelled at me! He actually yelled at me! He actually yelled at me for the sake of some unknown woman!

In the distance, Shang Chen watched, shaking his head in disdain.

No one but Miss Qiao would be held by Mr. Gu.

What is this guy thinking?

Gu Yanjing glanced at Lin Huai Shu, said nothing, and directly bent down to pick up Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian clutched her clothes and said, "There are clothes in building 12 behind."

The smoke in the previous building hadn’t dissipated yet; she didn’t want to go back in.

"Alright." Gu Yanjing carried her to change clothes.

Building 12 was a bit far, and as Gu Yanjing carried her over, he asked, "Where does it hurt? Does your arm hurt?"

Qiao Yuxian buried her face in his chest and said nothing.

Gu Yanjing waited for a while, seeing she didn’t respond, he apologized, "I’m sorry."

Qiao Yuxian gently huffed.

Listening to her, Gu Yanjing was at a loss, thinking it over, he could only say again, "I’m sorry."

"Hmph," Qiao Yuxian huffed softly again and then said, "Actually hitting your wife. You no longer care for me, you just hit and hurt me."

"My fault," Gu Yanjing said, "It won’t happen again."

"Promise?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I promise," Gu Yanjing replied.

"Alright then," Qiao Yuxian said, "I won’t write your name in my grudge book for now."

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "Gu Yanjing, I wasn’t unable to beat you just now. We still haven’t settled the score between us."

Feeling guilty and pained for hitting his wife, Mr. Gu looked at Qiao Yuxian: "......"

Seeing his expression, Qiao Yuxian sat up, hugging his neck, saying seriously, "I really wasn’t unable to beat you. Though you’re strong, I have confidence in myself."

Gu Yanjing looked at her eyes, still a bit red.

Qiao Yuxian added, "I mean it."

"Alright," Gu Yanjing said, seeing her persistence about victory, "I understand."

Only then did Qiao Yuxian feel a bit more at ease, obediently letting him hold her.

Gu Yanjing carried her to building 12, directly to an upstairs room.

Qiao Yuxian went to the dressing room to change clothes, while Gu Yanjing waited outside, gazing at the layout through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Such a vast estate.

Only Qiao Yuxian alone.

It seems people occasionally come to clean, but most of the time, it’s deserted.

No one guards the manor, yet no one dares approach.

West Mountain Manor is very mysterious, with many speculations outside about it.

No one might have expected such a large place to house just a young girl.

West Mountain Manor gives off a desolate, solitary feeling.

It’s like there’s no vitality.

Not at all the kind of place Qiao Yuxian would stay.

Qiao Yuxian loves to decorate her living spaces.

At Jingyu Garden, and Fenglin Villa too.

Gu Yanjing always believed that anything related to Qiao Yuxian is lively and vibrant.

West Mountain Manor seems unrelated to Qiao Yuxian.

Some parts of the place appear carefully arranged.

Like something happened, making it too disheartening to decorate the rest.

Gu Yanjing pondered, then heard Qiao Yuxian coming out, turning to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian took a few jogging steps over, threw herself into his arms, and laughed, "Do you feel your wife is so rich, with such a large place?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her smiling eyes.

Qiao Yuxian’s emotions sometimes come and go quickly.

But Gu Yanjing knew she was genuinely wronged just now.

He bent down and kissed her brow.

Qiao Yuxian added, "Now your wife has more land. Yaojin Manor. All gold inside."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I got the account book through my own skill. I won’t return it. Unless you take it forcefully today."

"It’s yours; no one dares to take it," Gu Yanjing said.

"Really?" Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled, leaned against him, and said, "No need for guilt. You didn’t know it was me. And anyway, who throws smoke bombs when fighting? So many thrown, who can see clearly?"

Gu Yanjing remained silent.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, asking, "Shang Chen came, right?"

"Yes," Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian’s expression twisted suddenly, then she regretted painfully and said, "Those smoke bombs weren’t from the ones I gave him, right?"

Gu Yanjing replied faintly, "Yes."

Qiao Yuxian took a deep breath, eventually laughing helplessly, "When did he become so obedient?"

Gu Yanjing rubbed her face.

The smoke bombs in Shang Chen’s hands were all given by her.

She taught him, too.

Throw a few during a fight to enhance the smoke-filled atmosphere.

Shang Chen was full of disdain at first.

Said she used unnecessary tricks in fights.

But then used the method she taught him.

Used it on her too.

Qiao Yuxian was both amused and angry: "You really let him do that."

"You taught him," Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

She taught it, she taught it.

Even if unreasonable, it has to be used?

Mr. Gu, where is your bottom line?

Qiao Yuxian felt a headache coming.

...

After chatting in the room for a while, they went to find Lin Huai Shu and Shang Chen.

The smoke from the previous room had dissipated.

Lin Huai Shu and Shang Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the cool breeze blowing in through the broken floor-to-ceiling windows.

With such big windows, the entire glass was shattered.

Though sitting indoors, they felt like enjoying the night view outside.

After sitting for quite a while, Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian finally arrived.

Upon seeing Qiao Yuxian, Lin Huai Shu jumped from the sofa, shocked, "Little sister-in-law!"

Although he accepted the fact of Gu Yanjing holding Qiao Yuxian.

But he couldn’t easily accept that West Mountain Manor belongs to Qiao Yuxian.

And couldn’t accept he actually lost to her.

"Little sister-in-law," Lin Huai Shu called again.

Qiao Yuxian smiled apologetically, concerned, "Mr. Lin, is your arm alright?"

Lin Huai Shu felt an arrow through his heart, touched his chest, "No, nothing. It’s quite alright."

"Then... another match?" Qiao Yuxian suggested, "Winners take the account book?"

Lin Huai Shu paused, then said, "In little sister-in-law’s hands means it’s hers. There’s no reason for another match."

"Really?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Really," Lin Huai Shu said.

"Truly willing?" Qiao Yuxian asked very sincerely.

"In little sister-in-law’s hands, definitely willing," Lin Huai Shu said, "Besides, I’m afraid Yanjing will kill me if I fight her."

"That’s impossible," Qiao Yuxian said, a bit jealous, "He wanted to break my arm for you."

"That’s because he didn’t know it was you here," Lin Huai Shu said.

"I think he’s too good to you," Qiao Yuxian said.

"He’s better to little sister-in-law," Lin Huai Shu said.

"He’s very good to you," Qiao Yuxian said.

"He’s better to you," Lin Huai Shu said.

"Good to you," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Good to you," Lin Huai Shu said.

"To you..."

Before Qiao Yuxian could finish, Gu Yanjing covered her mouth.

Lin Huai Shu also swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Gu Yanjing manually quieted both of them......
