Just as Mr. Yang and the children returned home, they heard that Gu Jinghuai and Gu Hongwen had arrived.
Tuantuan led Yang Jinchuan into the living room, where Wan Yunzhi greeted them, holding the little dumpling's hand and asking after her.
"Grandma's little darling, why did you only come back now? Grandma missed you so much at home."
“Tuantuan misses Grandma too.”
The little dumpling quickly hugged Wan Yunzhi and kissed her on the face.
I miss my grandma, I have to give her a kiss.
Wan Yunzhi laughed heartily: "My darling grandma!"
Yang Nanqiao, abandoning his usual dignified demeanor, also came up to compete with his wife for her affection.
The serious old man transformed into an approachable and kind figure: "Tuantuan, have you missed Grandpa?"
"Yes, Tuantuan misses Grandpa and Grandma so much!" Tuantuan also kissed Grandpa, giving him a kiss on both sides.
Yang Nanqiao laughed heartily, feeling completely content with his granddaughter.
Gu Hongwen felt greatly comforted to see his friend's health improving day by day.
As they get older, their ambitions become less grand; they simply wish for a house full of children and grandchildren and a peaceful old age.
"Jinchuan, come here, there's something I need to tell you."
Gu Jinghuai stood up, blocking Tuantuan's path, and said in a low voice, "Tuantuan, come with me, I have something to give you."
Tuantuan nodded with a smile and went to her room with Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai took the item out and placed it on the table.
The koi scale seemed to have seen a savior and kowtowed to Tuantuan with great eagerness.
Gu Jinghuai didn't understand its meaning, but Tuantuan did.
"You want to come with me?"
[Little adult, please, take me in! That old man Gu Hongwen is inhumane; he's going to ruin me!]
That's why the koi's scales struggle and thrash, all in an effort to return to Tuan Tuan's side.
"You're so mean, I don't want to be your master."
Koi scales: "..."
This little adult is truly remarkable; he's different from ordinary people!
If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably treat it as a great treasure and worship it!
The little adult looked disgusted.
The koi scales seemed to be a masochist; Tuantuan disliked it, so it wanted to follow Tuantuan even more.
"Young man, I have a secret to tell you. If you accept me, I will definitely be of great use to you."
The little dumpling's big, watery eyes showed a hint of disdain: "You dare to have secrets?"
Koi scales: "!!"
[My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong! How could I dare to have a secret? My loyalty to you is as clear as day!]
The koi carp's scales trembled, and it began to kneel on the table again, begging for mercy.
Gu Jinghuai said he couldn't bear to watch.
"My lord, your bracelet contains something even better than koi scales."
The bracelet on Tuantuan's wrist was left to her by Ai Zi; she had just gotten it back from Ai Xin less than two days ago.
Before Tuantuan could ask, Koi Scales continued.
In this situation, there's no need for the little adult to ask; it should just eagerly answer.
"My lord, only a drop of your blood is needed to unlock the bracelet's true power."
A drop of blood?
Tuantuan took off the bracelet, put her finger in her mouth, and bit it hard—it bled…
Gu Jinghuai: "!!"
"Tuantuan, why did you bite your finger and draw blood?"
“Brother Jinghuai, its scales told me there’s something good inside, something even better than itself. The bracelet was a gift from Tuantuan’s mother; it must be something her mother wanted to leave for Tuantuan.”
Tuantuan told Gu Jinghuai what the koi scales meant, and she didn't even frown when she bit her finger.
The nickname "milk dumpling" made the koi's scales ache.
It's a koi fish, after all!
Call it scales?
Isn't that a bit too casual?
Everyone else calls it Lord Koi.
The little dumpling sensed the koi scales' displeasure and blinked its watery eyes: "Are you unhappy?"
No, no, no, sir, whatever you like is fine. As long as you like it, I'll be happy even if you call me Er Gouzi.
The little dumpling smiled, its eyes squinting, and touched the koi's scales with its tiny hands: "Er Gouzi, you're so good."
Koi scales: "..."
Call it a foul-mouthed jerk!
Well, that's it. Er Gouzi is even worse than Yu Lin!
Gu Jinghuai couldn't hear the interaction between Tuantuan and the koi scales.
Seeing this, the little dumpling grabbed Gu Jinghuai's hand and touched his forehead.
Gu Jinghuai then heard the sound of koi scales.
The once proud and aloof koi scales are now more docile than a lapdog in front of Tuantuan.
"My lord, you can test the truth by dripping your blood on it. I, Er Gouzi, would never lie! I am utterly loyal to you."
Gu Jinghuai: "..."
It's unbearable to look at.
Tuan Tuan's blood had already dripped onto the jade bracelet; we'll see what happens next.
Gu Jinghuai grabbed Tuantuan's other hand so that he could pull her away if there was any danger and deal with the monsters inside.
A drop of bright red blood dripped onto the jade bracelet, and the next moment, the entire bracelet turned red, the patterns on it became clearly visible, and it radiated a dazzling golden light.
It shines brighter than gold.
Gu Jinghuai was taken aback: "Isn't this a dragon scale?"
[This is indeed a dragon scale. With this dragon scale, you no longer need to worry that the koi scales can absorb the Yang family's fortune. On the contrary, it can even absorb the scales from the owner of the koi scale.]
This is really good stuff!
Tuantuan grabbed the table, and Gu Jinghuai tried to stop her, but it was too late.
The little dumpling stared intently at the scales, and the more it looked, the more it seemed like it had seen these dragon scales somewhere before.
