Gu Shouxin was surprised to realize that their little Xinxin had grown up.
When he first transmigrated, Xin Xin was not even eleven years old; now she's almost fourteen.
Back then, the little girl had a sallow complexion and dry, yellow hair. Yesterday, when she went to pick up Lu Zheng, she dressed up a little and styled her hair into a girlish bun, which made the Peng family boy instantly understand her feelings.
Gu Shouxin became worried again. Niannian's love life started when she was fourteen years old, and she was a very beautiful girl back then.
Xin Xin will be fourteen years old soon, and she's already growing up!
Gu Shouxin's heart, that of an old father, was breaking.
“Second Uncle Gu.” Peng Chi noticed that Gu Shouxin was lost in thought and nervously pulled him back to reality.
"Hmm?" Gu Shouxin came back to his senses and looked at Peng Chi.
“Second Uncle Gu, that’s exactly what I mean. Really, I’m very sincere. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I just want an opportunity,” Peng Chi said firmly.
"As for this opportunity, you'll have to fight for it yourself. I can only tell you that if a daughter of the Gu family isn't betrothed at birth, she'll be engaged at fifteen." Gu Shouxin smiled.
"Well..." Peng Chi still wanted to try, but then he realized that Uncle Gu meant Xin Xin's engagement was still a long way off. He nodded happily, "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, Uncle Gu, I will only strive for it openly and honestly, and I won't cause any trouble for Miss Gu. There's still a year left, I will definitely work hard!"
Gu Shouxin smiled but didn't say anything.
Although he couldn't stand Lu Zheng taking his daughter away so early, he didn't think highly of Peng Chi either.
After all, Lu Zheng is a man who has lived two lives, and in this life he has a few years of emotional foundation with Xin Xin.
As long as Peng Chi doesn't bother Xin Xin, it's fine to let him cause some trouble for that brat Lu Zheng.
I have to let Lu Zheng know that my Xin Xin is a very likable girl, and you must have done something very good in your past life to be able to meet her again in this life.
If he knew what happened to Lu Zheng after he was successfully reborn in his previous life, he would really be sure that this guy had accumulated good fortune.
Apart from Li Shan, who was given to him by the emperor, which of the other women in his household wasn't treated as playthings and given away? He didn't mistreat these women; he provided them with good food and drink. After his successful rebirth, in addition to giving these women a large sum of money, he also gave them status. As long as they wanted to live well, they would definitely have no worries for the rest of their lives.
Of course, Gu Shouxin treated Peng Chi as a tool. Well, in the heart of our Ninth Prince, everyone except those he has his eye on is a tool.
Peng Chi, the "tool," left in high spirits. As he walked to the entrance of the yamen, he ran into Lu Zheng, who was returning from the Peng family.
"General Zhou!" Peng Chi was in a good mood.
"What brings General Chi here?" Lu Zheng was a little wary. Could this kid be here to kidnap his little Xin Xin?
"General Zhou, what are you saying? I came to see my second uncle, not to your house," Peng Chi said with a smile.
"Oh, hehe." Lu Zheng could immediately guess what Peng Chi was going to say and what Gu Shouxin's attitude would be.
Those brats from the Peng family!
“General Zhou, I heard from my uncle that you’ll be resting for a while after you come back. How about I treat you to some drinks? We haven’t had a drink in ages. Now the restaurant has some strong liquor brewed by my second uncle. That’s the kind of liquor a real man should drink! It’s so refreshing! I’m afraid General Zhou hasn’t tried it yet. I’ve been back for a few days, and my second uncle has been providing my grandfather with a jar every day. I’ve had the pleasure of drinking it a few times these past few days!” Peng Chi said with a touch of boasting.
