Suddenly, she took two steps back, avoiding his kiss.

She took Gu Chenge to the Wu family, clearly intending to make him back down and that there would be no future for them. But why did it turn out like this?

She almost fell into his trap of tenderness.

Wu Xiaoxiao's expression changed rapidly.

Gu Chenge's expression froze slightly.

After a moment, he looked at her and said firmly, "If you need me, Xiaoxiao, I can help you unconditionally."

Wu Xiaoxiao thought to herself: You're not without your own options, are you?

His condition was that she become his girlfriend.

"Okay, let's date."

If she doesn't agree, he'll probably keep pestering her. Perhaps after they get together, he'll realize they're not a good match.

Wu Xiaoxiao added, "As long as you're not afraid of ruining your image."

Did she agree?

Gu Chenge was suddenly stunned.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown.

The next second, she was suddenly picked up and lifted up by Gu Chenge, just like a child being lifted high in the air. She was startled: "What are you doing? I'm so dizzy, put me down quickly."

Gu Chenge spun her around a few times in his arms, then put her down and announced happily, "You said yes! You're my girlfriend now!"

Wu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Was he really that happy?

Before she could speak, she heard him say earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, I will protect you from now on and I won't let anyone bully you!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She knew he was doing it for her own good, and she knew he had the power to do it, but she didn't want to cause him any trouble because of this.

The Wu family's filth wasn't worth getting his hands dirty.

"let's go."

Wu Xiaoxiao turned and walked towards his car.

Seeing Wu Xiaoxiao's reaction, Gu Chenge thought she wasn't really willing, so she quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to interfere with you, I just wanted to help you."

Wu Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled calmly: "I know, I didn't misunderstand you."

Gu Chenge breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, if you need help, can you come to me first?"

Hearing his humble words, Wu Xiaoxiao was stunned. For some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest. She nodded subconsciously, "Okay!"

Hearing her reply, Gu Chenge was deeply moved and stepped forward to hug her tightly: "Xiaoxiao, thank you!"

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but she felt a little disappointed.

Gu Chenge felt the person in her arms stiffen slightly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, don't worry."

She was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to handle the situation.

Gu Chenge didn't press further, but smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

"Mmm," Wu Xiaoxiao responded softly.

Gu Chenge tried to pick her up and put her in the car, but Wu Xiaoxiao struggled to get out of his arms.

Gu Chenge paused, slightly taken aback, and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a picture here?"

Wu Xiaoxiao: "...Isn't that necessary?"

Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow: "We started dating here, and on such an important day, I think we need to have a sense of ceremony, don't we?"

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Since he had already made a decision, why did he still need to ask her?

“Let’s take a picture then,” she said.

Gu Chenge keenly sensed her emotions: "You don't like it?"

"No, I think it's fine this way," Wu Xiaoxiao denied.

"The photos are good?"

"Um."

Seeing her nod, Gu Chenge wasn't so happy, but she still took out her phone and took a picture as a souvenir.

In the photo, Gu Chenge stands behind Wu Xiaoxiao, looking down at her, while Wu Xiaoxiao looks at the camera with a faint smile on her lips, appearing happy, but there is no joy in her eyes.

Regardless, this is her first photo with him.

Gu Chenge still treasured it.

After getting in the car, Gu Chenge thought for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, let's go eat first, and then I'll take you around to see the sights, okay?"

Wu Xiaoxiao's job was ruined by the Wu family, and now that she's unemployed, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

The two drove back to the city.

On the way, Gu Chenge sent a message to Ji Moxun, asking him to recommend a good restaurant.

Ji Moxun quickly recommended a Western restaurant and then asked Gu Chenge when she returned to Yezhou Island and who she was having dinner with, showing such concern.

Gu Chenge's lips curled into a smile as he replied: 【With my girlfriend.】

Upon seeing this news, Ji Moxun was shocked and immediately called him.

"Bro, you have a girlfriend? Are you sure it's your girlfriend?"

Gu Chenge retorted, "If she's not my girlfriend, then is she yours?"

Ji Moxun on the other end of the phone felt incredulous and said, "No, that's not what I meant! I just can't believe it! You already have a girlfriend? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

"We just started dating today."

"So I'm the first person to know you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Chenge's lips curled into a wide smile: "That's right, I hope you'll bless us."

"How did you manage to win over your sister-in-law? Didn't you have absolutely no chance before?" Ji Mo Xun checked the date; today wasn't April Fool's Day, so his brother's actions were truly astounding!

"You don't need to know that. Anyway, I have a girlfriend."

Gu Chenge didn't explain it to him in detail.

Ji Mo Xun asked, "So when are you planning to get married?"

Upon hearing the word "marriage," a flicker of panic crossed Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Chenge.

Gu Chenge noticed her gaze, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "I'm available anytime, depending on your sister-in-law's opinion."

Wu Xiaoxiao: "..."

Isn't he thinking too far ahead?

Jimo Xun: "..."

That's exactly what his second brother said.

When Gu Chenge arrived at the Western restaurant recommended by Ji Moxun, he simply said, "Let's talk next time," and hung up the phone.

???

Meanwhile, the Wu family.

Wu Lihong was raging at his bodyguards.

"Are you all dead? So many people couldn't stop one person?" In his eyes, Wu Xiaoxiao was nothing. Without that man protecting her, Wu Xiaoxiao would never have been able to leave the Wu family.

At this moment, Wu Lizhen suddenly asked, "Brother, did you hear Wu Xiaoxiao call that man something just now?"

Wu Lihong looked at her with a grim expression: "What did you say?"

"Brother, did you hear what Wu Xiaoxiao called that man?" Wu Lizhen repeated.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"She seems to be calling for Second Young Master Gu!"

Wu Lizhen's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together excitedly, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, the person my friend likes is this Second Young Master Gu!"

Wu Lihong's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he stared intently at her: "Are you sure?"
