☆ The truth that is about to be revealed
Chengcheng looked smugly at everyone who had been scared pale by him, thinking how awesome and amazing he was. He originally wanted to keep everyone in suspense for a while longer, but when he met his mother's gloomy face, it clearly said—if you dare to cause a death, I'll tear you apart and rebuild you.
He instantly felt as if something unclean was floating behind him, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
He gave a weak laugh and walked back to the locked cabinet.
He opened the cabinet very slowly, and everyone present stared wide-eyed. The timid women covered their eyes, afraid to see the bloody scene.
The cabinet was slowly pulled open...
"Hmm..."
"We saw it! We saw it!" A murmur of surprise rippled through the audience.
It wasn't a bloody or mangled scene, but rather two naked women. Their clothes had been cut into pieces and were lying in a closet. They were completely naked, without a single scratch. Their fair and tender flesh was a feast for the eyes of the men.
Gu Li's beautiful face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom, almost dripping blood. Meeting Gu Ziqian's handsome face, which was trying not to laugh, she awkwardly clarified, "I didn't teach him. Don't look at me like that. It has nothing to do with me."
That brat actually came up with such a wicked plan. He's really cunning. Those two women will probably never be able to show their faces in public again. Hmph, serves them right, who told them to gossip like that?
Hehe, Gu Li thought to himself, feeling incredibly satisfied.
"I never imagined Chengcheng was so amazing. This is the best magic trick I've ever seen," Gu Ziqian exclaimed in amazement.
"Not at all, Mr. Gu, you flatter me. Magic is just a trick, an illusion," Gu Li said modestly, his smile slightly stiff. Oh no! Even his older brother, a magic enthusiast, thinks Chengcheng's performance tonight was top-notch. His reputation is bound to spread like wildfire, causing a sensation. That would be troublesome. Reporters and paparazzi are like gods; there's no news they can't dig up, no juicy scoop they won't find. Once Chengcheng's identity is exposed…
"President Gu." Gu Li's face was frosty, his heart was pounding and he was short of breath. He grabbed Gu Ziqian's hand tightly and said, "Please, you must keep Chengcheng's identity a secret for me."
"...Why?" Gu Ziqian hesitated for a moment. Her inner thoughts were, 'Don't worry, I will never reveal Chengcheng's identity,' but seeing how nervous she was, the words that came out of her mouth were questions.
Gu Li couldn't quite bear his questioning gaze. Her nervous eyes flickered, and she pursed her tight lips before slowly saying, "I don't want Chengcheng to become a public figure. He's still just a child and should focus on his studies." She paused, feeling that her words weren't convincing enough, and added, "You know, I'm a single mother. If Chengcheng's identity is exposed, it will have a huge impact on both of us. I haven't written 'divorced' or 'having a child' on my resume. If my colleagues at the company find out, I'll be very embarrassed."
"I understand." Gu Ziqian nodded, but his heart was filled with despair.
Are you afraid your colleagues will find out, or are you afraid Chu Yaofeng will find out? Are you that afraid that man will know about your shameful past?
********
Chengcheng made a joyful exit amidst thunderous applause.
Chu Yaofeng, his handsome face cold, took a step to chase after him, but Gu Qingqing pulled him back forcefully. "Yaofeng, where are you going?"
"Don't bother me." Just as Chu Yaofeng pulled Gu Qingqing's hand away, suddenly, the lights in the room went out, plunging the room into complete darkness.
"Damn it." Chu Yaofeng frowned deeply and cursed under his breath, but the little guy was nowhere to be seen.
Soon after, the singing filled the air, and the lights came on again.
"Yaofeng, let's dance too!" Gu Qingqing said excitedly.
"Go play somewhere else." Chu Yaofeng shook off her hand, circled the lobby twice but couldn't find her, then went to the restroom to look for her, but still couldn't find the little guy. Where could he have gone in such a short time?
He was so anxious that his brows furrowed, and he grabbed a male servant's arm, asking impatiently, "Where did the little boy who performed magic go?"
"Change your clothes in the innermost room on the second floor."
"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Chu Yaofeng was overjoyed and hurriedly went upstairs.
***********
"Mommy, Mommy, wasn't I great? Are you feeling better now... Hey, your foot?"
Inside the room, Chengcheng bounced over excitedly and asked Gu Li, who was limping in.
Damn it, I don't know which jerk suddenly turned off the lights, causing her to trip on the stairs, twist her ankle, and it hurt like hell.
"I tripped and fell," she said, as she walked to the bed and sat down.
Knock knock knock—
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
It felt like being pricked in the buttocks. Gu Li jumped up suddenly, her face filled with unprecedented tension and panic. She could hardly breathe, and her heart was pounding in her throat...
Chu Yaofeng, it must be him. She noticed that the way he looked at Chengcheng was very different when they were in the living room downstairs. It was as if he had seen through her.
