Gu Chenge, unaware of her thoughts, assumed that she was trying to accept him and agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you."

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he still had a chance.

However, the moment Wu Xiaoxiao stepped out of the presidential suite, her eyes welled up with tears, which slid down her cheeks.

He is a good person.

He loved flying so much, loved the blue sky and white clouds so much, how could she drag him down into the mud and get him covered in mud?

Therefore, she and he are not suitable to be together.

Wu Xiaoxiao silently thanked him.

Thank you for liking me.

Wu Xiaoxiao was content that such an outstanding man had once loved her.

The two arrived at Wu's house by car.

Wu Lizhen happened to be home, and when she heard that Wu Xiaoxiao had come back on her own, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Just as she was about to go to the study to call her brother out, Wu Lihong came downstairs.

Soon, Wu Xiaoxiao and Gu Chenge were led to the living room by the housekeeper.

The moment Wu Lizhen saw Gu Chenge, her face flushed red with embarrassment, even though Gu Chenge wasn't looking at her.

"What a rare guest! You never come back even when we invite you. Why are you back today?" Wu Lihong said sarcastically.

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly: "Did you do what happened last night?"

Wu Lihong frowned: "Don't try to pin this on me. What happened last night?"

"Didn't you want to send someone to bring me back? That person is one of your men; I saw him."

Wu Xiaoxiao's implication was that you shouldn't try to argue.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Wu Lihong, I have nothing to do with the Wu family anymore. I'm warning you, don't do anything to me again, or I will never let you off the hook!"

Wu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She really couldn't understand why the Wu family only cared about money and power, and had no affection for each other at all!

Wu Lihong looked at her disdainfully and sneered.

"Xiaoxiao, don't forget, you still have the blood of the Wu family flowing in your veins. Our Wu family is a respectable family on Yezhou Island, and we don't allow uncultured girls to appear. If you dare to do anything shameful, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wu Lihong coldly threatened her.

What embarrassing thing did she do?

Do they have the final say in everything?

dream!

Wu Xiaoxiao sneered and retorted fiercely, "If you provoke me, your Wu family will face annihilation!"

Wu Lihong's expression changed: "Are you threatening me?"

"Didn't you start by threatening me?" Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him without fear.

Wu Lihong was so angry with Wu Xiaoxiao that he raised his hand and slapped her pretty face.

Seeing that the slap was about to land on Wu Xiaoxiao, Wu Lizhen felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Suddenly, Wu Lihong's hand was intercepted by Gu Chenge.

Gu Chenge gripped his wrist tightly and said coldly, "You hit my... friend right in front of me? Do you think I'm dead?"

He originally wanted to say girlfriend, but fearing that Wu Xiaoxiao would be offended, he changed it to friend.

Wu Lihong stared at him in disbelief: "Who are you?"

Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you can't hear well. I told you, I'm Xiaoxiao's friend."

He increased the pressure on his hands.

Wu Lihong immediately begged for mercy in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, please let go..."

Gu Chenge said in a deep voice, "Apologize to her."

A fierce glint flashed in Wu Lihong's eyes as he looked up and glared at Gu Chenge, his heart filled with resentment.

He was, after all, the son of the Wu family patriarch, yet he was bullied by an unknown brat. If word got out, wouldn't he be ridiculed to death?

Wu Lihong refused to apologize. He stubbornly raised his head and glared fiercely at Gu Chenge: "Who do you think you are, ordering me around?"

"It seems I really underestimated you."

As soon as Gu Chenge finished speaking, she gripped his wrist tightly.

"ah--"

Wu Lihong cried out in pain, feeling as if his bones were about to break!

Upon seeing this, Wu Lizhen quickly shouted, "Let go of my brother right now, or I'll call the bodyguards!"

Wu Xiaoxiao snapped at her, "Shut up!"

Wu Lizhen immediately glared at Wu Xiaoxiao: "How dare you yell at me?"

"If you don't want your brother's hand to get broken, then don't speak!" Wu Xiaoxiao wasn't helping Wu Lihong, but rather she didn't want Gu Chenge to get involved in her feud with the Wu family.

Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to take action given his status.

She didn't want him to be punished because of her.

Wu Lihong and Wu Lizhen both looked at her in surprise, wondering if Wu Xiaoxiao had lost her mind. How could she help him (her brother)?

Wu Xiaoxiao's protection made Gu Chenge feel very comforted.

He was right about him!

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wu Lihong stared coldly at them. "This is the Wu family home, and I'll make sure you can't escape here!"

After saying that, he opened his mouth to call for help.

Wu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed something from the table and stuffed it into Wu Lihong's mouth.

She looked at Gu Chenge and said, "Second Young Master Gu, it's not worth getting your hands dirty over something like this. Let's go."

Wu Lihong was so angry when he heard Wu Xiaoxiao's words that he almost vomited blood!

That damn brat, she's really gotten too big for her britches, daring to help outsiders against me!

His sinister gaze shot towards Wu Xiaoxiao, as if he wished he could devour her flesh and drink her blood.

"You bitch, you think I won't dare to do anything to you just because you have someone backing you up?" Wu Lihong roared.

"I've said everything I needed to say today. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves. But if you provoke me again, I'll keep my word!"

After saying this in a cold voice, Wu Xiaoxiao didn't want to waste any more words with Wu Lihong, so she pulled Gu Chenge and turned to leave.

After they left the Wu family.

Instead of returning to the city, they drove to the top of the mountain.

Looking down over half of Yezhou Island, Gu Chenge looked at Wu Xiaoxiao after a while and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, shall we date?"

Wu Xiaoxiao was taken aback at first, then fell silent.

Gu Chenge knew she had agreed and couldn't help but smile.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Gu Chenge's gentle gaze was like the spring sunshine, making people want to get closer, and like the starry sky on a summer night, making people fascinated.

Wu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Gu Chenge smiled and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, his expression filled with affection.

Wu Xiaoxiao noticed that his fingers resembled those of a pianist—fair, slender, and clean.

His lips were soft, and the warm touch made Wu Xiaoxiao feel a little dazed.

His confession at the hotel suddenly flashed into her mind, making her heart flutter and also making her shy.

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that she had feelings for him. It was just that there were many things between them that she couldn't overcome.

Gu Chenge gently stroked her face with his fingers, his lips very close to hers, so close that Wu Xiaoxiao could count his eyelashes.

In that instant, Wu Xiaoxiao felt a strange flutter in her heart.
