Chapter 873 - 876: Where is Her Necklace?
"Wubai, from the perspective of the Five Elements, is associated with water, hinting at smoothing things out, prospering the world, flourishing wealth and prosperity. It’s an extremely auspicious and lucky name."
Baihao looked at Brother Baihao with a half-understanding expression, "Bro, is that really true?"
The latter tried hard to hold back a laugh and gave him a confirming look.
"Ha, then I’ll call Huanhuan and see if she likes it. I’ll suggest that you guys should help name my son in the future."
Wuqing gave him a look that said, "Is it really okay for you to play with my nephew like that?"
Gu Shaocheng returned a look of affirmation with a "You can’t say you haven’t abetted, can you?" and added, "As a nickname, it’s quite good."
What if he offended the next generation, and Wubai, as a ghost, never forgave him in the future?
Gu Shaocheng decided to accumulate some karma for himself.
Shifting his mind, he changed the topic, "By the way, has there been any movement in City A recently?"
"Nothing at all. Ever since you cleaned up the pests in the family last time, there has been no movement. I’ve been watching for many days."
"It seems they can hold their breath. Keep an eye on them, and notify me at the slightest disturbance."
Baihao slapped his chest promisingly, "Brother, rest assured."
"But, Brother, what about He Yingteng? Just keeping her locked up and not caring?"
Gu Shaocheng’s smile gradually faded, "Let’s keep her detained for now."
Chenxing slid into the study with two large lotus flowers, plunked herself down next to him, leaning close, and brought the lotus flowers to his nose, waiting for his praise, "Do they smell nice?"
Gu Shaocheng supported her head, kissing her passionately and oblivious to everyone around until she was almost out of breath and her eyes glazy. Satisfied, he finally let her go and tapped her little nose, "Not as sweet as you."
Chenxing wiped the saliva from her lips, her cheeks flushed, biting her own mouth in embarrassment.
What are they doing, isn’t there someone else here?
Gu Shaocheng chuckled softly, growing fonder of her blushing and heartbeat-inducing adorable look. Touching her lips with his fingertip, he said, "Don’t always bite your lips, it makes me want to tease you even more."
"Stop it," she hummed, stealing a glance at Brother Wuqing and Brother Baihao. Seeing both of them smiling, she couldn’t stay any longer no matter how thick her face might be, and she pushed him away and rushed toward the door.
Just as she left the doorway, she heard a burst of laughter coming from inside.
"You say about Chenxing, oh, when she declared her love on TV, she wasn’t shy, but now after a kiss from Brother, she wants to hide in a hole, women, you can never understand them."
Wuqing, deep in thought, sat cross-legged, supporting his cheek with one hand, contemplating his next chess move for gaining advantage, "Isn’t that why they say, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean?"
Gu Shaocheng, in a good mood, reminiscing about the kiss, smiled, "Having something to ponder does add to the fun."
Otherwise, how boring would it be?
Just like this game of chess, if you could accurately predict every move, what’s the excitement in playing?
Chenxing touched her hot cheeks, ah, such a worry, why did her heart race and face flush so easily?
Stumbling back to the bedroom, she sat at her vanity, taking out her jewelry piece by piece, eh, where was her necklace?
After rummaging through the entire jewelry box, Chenxing panicked, that was the necklace Gu Shaocheng had knelt on one knee to give her. When he had driven her out of the Gu Family, she had returned the necklace to Gu Shaocheng in a huff—had he really taken it back and not put it in her jewelry box?
