After having New Year's Eve dinner at the Su family's house, Gu Chen returned to his own home.
At this moment, he sat quietly in his study, watching the snowflakes fluttering and dancing in the light and shadow outside. His mind was filled with the image of that little figure in red who left a trail of clear laughter in the snow when he first came to the capital.
That tiny, adorable figure, dressed in red, seemed to burst forth like fireworks.
As Gu Chen thought about it, the corners of his lips unconsciously curved into a gentle and warm smile. He always believed that the person he longed for would return one day.
It was at this moment that Uncle Zhong brought Wu Shan to knock on the door outside Gu Chen's study. "Young master, Shan Shan has come to wish you a Happy New Year."
When Gu Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on Wu Shan, the gentle smile in his eyes vanished completely.
Wu Shan is no longer the shy, timid girl who first came to the Gu family with her father, Wu Yong, wearing a faded dress. Now she is almost eighteen years old and has grown into a graceful and tall young woman.
She was also wearing a red dress and skirt today, which made her skin look as white as snow.
She wore light makeup. When she saw Gu Chen looking at her, she lowered her eyelashes slightly, blinked her eyes, and called out sweetly, "Brother Gu Chen..."
Gu Chen originally thought that she would just come to pay a New Year's visit and leave, just like in previous years.
After all, he was entrusted with taking care of her, and it wouldn't be appropriate to just give her money and not even see her.
But the moment she spoke, Gu Chen's face darkened instantly, and his icy gaze swept over Uncle Zhong. "Take her out!"
Uncle Zhong regretted it the moment Wu Shan spoke. Now, hearing Gu Chen's words, cold sweat had soaked through his clothes. When he saw Wu Shan earlier, he inexplicably felt that her appearance and demeanor were a bit strange, and he also inexplicably felt that she looked familiar.
But as people get older, their minds inevitably become a little confused. He didn't remember at all that Wu Shan was deliberately imitating the little dumpling from the Su family.
He knew something bad had happened when he heard Wu Shan call the young master Gu Chen "brother".
Uncle Zhong quickly pulled Wu Shan away.
Wu Shan was also trembling with fear at Gu Chen's fierce aura, and all her little thoughts were completely forgotten at this moment.
It wasn't until Uncle Zhong pulled her out of the villa and the cold wind and snow outside brought her back to her senses. She looked at Uncle Zhong pitifully and asked, "Uncle Zhong, did I get into trouble?"
I didn't mean anything by it. I just saw that Mr. Gu had been depressed for the past few years, so I wanted to try to cheer him up like Xiao Ruan Ruan did.
Even if Mr. Gu treats me as a substitute for Xiao Ruan Ruan, I wouldn't mind..."
Uncle Zhong glanced at Wu Shan with disappointment, too lazy to say anything more to her, and simply said, "Miss Wu, you can go now. Qiu Shun will arrange to take you back to your apartment."
The new year will pass and you will be eighteen years old. Legally speaking, you are already an adult, and you will have fulfilled your father's wishes.
"Work hard during the college entrance exam, get into a good university, and then study hard in university; you'll get plenty of scholarships."
Although Uncle Zhong didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood his meaning: once Wu Shan turned eighteen, Gu Chen would stop supporting her, and she would have no further connection with Gu Chen, nor would she be qualified to see him.
Wu Shan wanted to plead with Uncle Zhong, but he had already shaken his head and sighed as he went back.
Qiu Shun had already called a car on a ride-hailing app, and the car was already waiting outside the manor. He dropped Wu Shan off, told the driver the address, and asked the driver to take Wu Shan back to her apartment.
Wu Shan didn't react at first when she saw Uncle Zhong turn around and go back. After she realized what was happening, she covered her face and cried.
She was still crying uncontrollably even when she was sitting in the car.
After returning to the villa, Uncle Zhong went to Gu Chen's study again.
Gu Chen was still looking out the window at the heavy snow falling heavily. Uncle Zhong stood respectfully behind him, "Young Master..."
Before Uncle Zhong could apologize, Gu Chen turned to him and asked, "Uncle Zhong, how many years have you been with our family?"
Uncle Zhong already understood what Gu Chen was going to say, but he still answered respectfully, "It has been thirty-six years."
“Uncle Zhong, you’ve worked so hard for our family for most of your life, even neglecting your own marriage. From now on, you can leave everything at home to Qiu Shun, raise some pets, and enjoy your retirement in peace,” Gu Chen said, his handsome face revealing no emotion.
Uncle Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He had been quite worried that the young master would kick him out, but now that he heard it was just that he wouldn't be allowed to manage things anymore, he felt much more at ease and respectfully replied, "Yes."
——
There is a nearly ten-hour time difference between China and Germany, and it is daytime in Germany at this time.
On the training field, Xiao Ruanruan is like a hunting beast, her clear and bright eyes fixed on her opponent. When the opponent is caught off guard, she strikes straight at the vital point.
Black Nightmare stood on a hidden high place watching her, with the instructor in charge of training Little Softie by his side.
The instructor said to Black Nightmare, "Her skills training is no longer a problem. Starting tomorrow, we will reduce her skills training and begin to teach her how to integrate into society and become more reserved."
The current Little Softie is like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a terrifying cold light, making anyone who sees her feel fear.
But a truly good knife is understated and unadorned; when thrown into a crowd, it should be indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
Black Nightmare nodded and said, "Okay."
At night, Xiao Ruan Ruan stood on the balcony of her private room and turned off the light.
It doesn't snow in this training ground area, and it's close to the desert, so strong winds often bring sand, and the air is dry and cold.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted in one direction.
She didn't actually know what that direction was; she didn't have any memory of such a place.
However, she always felt that something in that direction was attracting her.
Today, she felt an extraordinary longing and desire in that direction; her desire to leave the training ground and go see what was happening in that direction was exceptionally strong.
However, the day she could go and see it was just around the corner, because today the instructor told her that her skills were now up to par, and all she had to do was learn to be more reserved so she could leave this place.
Little Ruanruan never expected that it would only take her three years to learn those special agent skills, but it would take her a full eight years to learn to be reserved and to disguise herself.
Eight years later, she received her first mission, left the training camp, and headed towards the direction she longed for.
