Chapter 8 My brother's waist is so thin and white

Gu Chuyue sniffed, "Really?"

Qin Mu touched his head again to comfort him, "If you don't want to go back to Gu's house, just stay here with me." After this commotion, he felt that his bottom line had lowered a little, and he could also feel that Gu Chuyue's defenses had relaxed a little.

Gu Chuyue went to the bathroom to wash up first. Qin Mu lay in bed with his eyes closed, wanting to catch some more sleep. It was really nice to lie in bed in the morning. Huh? Feeling the coolness on his face, he opened his eyes and was met with a pair of puppy eyes, shining brightly. Needless to say, this little villain was really handsome.

She got up from the bed and dragged her body towards the bathroom, saying, "Get dressed and go downstairs to have breakfast. I'll be down in a moment." After saying that, she stretched again. As her clothes moved up, her slender waist was clearly exposed in front of Gu Chuyue. He didn't look away until the person went in.

Gu Chuyue turned his face away and couldn't help but blushing. Why was his waist so thin and white?

When he came out and saw "Red Apple" standing there in a daze, Qin Mu put on his watch and tied his tie: "Why is your face so red?"

"It's a little hot."

He slept with someone in his arms all night and saw someone when he woke up in the morning. Qin Mu was not worried about being sick. Now he just felt emotional when he heard this answer. The old man’s words really made sense: there is fire in the child’s body, and there is one here now.

After the two of them had breakfast, Lin Wu came to pick them up and take them to Gu's house.

The two arrived relatively early. The Gu family's housekeeper was waiting at the gate. "Master Qin, Young Master."

Qin Mu nodded. He remembered that he had been to Gu's house several times before.

Butler Dong Wei received instructions from the old man early in the morning to be at the door to meet the young master and his family: "Please."

As a prominent family, the Gu family's ancestral home is magnificent and has completely different styles from the Qin family's old home. The Qin family's is more repressive, and the sense of family inheritance is very important to the Qin family.

The Gu family's ancestral home, nestled amidst vast expanses of land, exudes a majestic presence. Behind a massive carved iron gate, a straight main road leads to the towering main building. On either side, boundless lawns and towering ancient trees bathe in sunlight, brimming with life.

The main building is laid out in a relaxed manner, its off-white stone cladding warm and luminous, while vast floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light. A curved marble staircase welcomes visitors, flanked by gurgling water features, adding a touch of elegance. Entering the high-ceilinged main hall, a crystal chandelier reflects the natural light, creating a luminous and airy atmosphere. Light-colored decor and modern art complement the lush greenery outside, creating an open and flowing space filled with sunlight, greenery, and the fragrance of books. Here, the Qin family's heavy ancestral precepts and class barriers are absent; instead, its rich heritage is reflected in the grandeur of the space, its exquisite details, and its vibrant energy.

When passing by the garden, Qin Mu looked at it a few more times. It didn't seem to be a garden before.

Now the garden is like a natural painting, with undulating lawns, colorful flowers, and shimmering water visible in the distance.

Dong Wei smiled upon seeing this, "It's different from before. The old man had someone calculate it and said it's brighter and more spacious this way, has good feng shui, and appears more lively. Now he's even found the young master."

In fact, the old man's illness is not very serious, it's just that he is old and needs regular rest. Yesterday, I received the news that Master Qin would bring the young master to visit, and the old man's spirits have improved a lot.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the young master a few more times.

The young master, despite being at his age, wasn't at all nervous or afraid because it was his first time here, and he simply let Young Master Qin lead him around. The Zhang family hadn't been so peaceful since returning to Kyoto a few days ago, and some of the Zhang family's bad behavior towards the young master had spread to the Gu family. If the old man hadn't been ill, they would have taken the young master back long ago.

Dong Wei pushed open the door and said, "Grandpa, someone is here." After inviting two people in, he left at the old man's signal.

The old man looked very kind, and Qin Mu led him in.

"Grandpa Gu."

The old man nodded and said, "Xiao Mu, sit down quickly." Sitting on the sofa, Qin Mu lowered his head slightly and said to Gu Chuyue, "Call me grandpa."

Gu Chuyue glanced at Qin Mu but didn't call out directly. He waited until Qin Mu lightly brushed his palm with his fingers before speaking. The crisp "Grandpa" made the old man's eyes redden immediately.

"Okay, okay! Grandpa heard it."

Even though he was a ruthless person when he was young, he couldn't help himself in the face of family affection. He looked at the two children in front of him, asked about their recent situation in detail, and heard that the two of them got along well, he felt relieved.

Then she continued, "Before, because her mother insisted on marrying that bastard from the Zhang family, I was furious and wanted to cut off ties with her, which ultimately hurt her... Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that my grandson is back, my Gu family will definitely protect him and won't let anyone bully him."

"Let Chu Yue return to the Gu family. I'll introduce him to everyone during my birthday next month, so that some people won't think the Gu family doesn't value him."

When Gu Chuyue heard this, he suddenly increased the strength of his grip on Qin Mu. He stood up and just looked at Qin Mu. He used force in his hands, causing Qin Mu's arm to hurt a little.

The old man didn't understand what was going on and was so nervous: "What's wrong, Chu Yue?"

Gu Chuyue did not answer. He had nothing to do with the Gu family. Besides, he didn't care whether he returned to the Gu family or not. He just wanted to know whether Qin Mu had lied to him.

Qin Mu didn't expect the kid to react so strongly. He pulled him in front of him and patted the villain's back with his other hand to ease Gu Chuyue's anxiety. Then he said to Mr. Gu, "No, he lives with me."

Old Master Gu was unwilling. After all, he was the blood of the Gu family. "How can this be? I know An Yan has a good relationship with your mother, but Chu Yue is my child. How can it be wrong for him to stay with you for no reason? What will outsiders think of our Gu family?"

"Grandpa Gu, you're worrying too much. Anyone who dares to gossip about the Qin and Gu families will have their identities announced at the banquet as you requested. I, Qin Mu, will protect them."

Gu Chuyue spoke, "I don't live in the Gu family, I only live in my brother's house."

Hearing what Gu Chuyue said, Old Man Gu was stunned for a moment. Yes, his grandson had been away all the time and had never returned to the Gu family. He had only said a few words since he entered the house and was not very close to him. Thinking of this, he looked even more haggard.

Not wanting his relationship with his grandson to become as strained as it was with his daughter, he thought about asking Dong Wei to check yesterday and said, "Okay, then Xiao Mu, bring Chu Yue to attend the old man's birthday next month and announce your engagement together. That way, it will be legitimate."

Now it was Qin Mu's turn to be stunned and unwilling.

"Grandpa Gu, what are you talking about?" How did this old man know this? He had Lin Wu investigate the people and found out, but this information was meaningless to the Gu family.

The old man seemed to see the confusion in Qin Mu's eyes and continued, "Your mother is half my daughter. After An Yan left the Gu family, she continued to keep in touch with them."

The old man smiled and said, "Don't you also want Chu Yue to live with you? It's not good to let my grandson live with you for nothing." He is not an old stubborn person. Besides, he admires Qin Mu's character and methods. He can sit firmly on the position of the head of the Qin family before he is twenty years old. It can be seen that he is not ordinary. Chu Yue is still young. He can't protect the Gu family if he is handed over to him.

It became clear that the old man not only wanted him to raise his grandson, but also wanted him to sacrifice his own status and raise him willingly.
