Chapter 155 Pei Gu, the Scapegoat



"It had already eaten when it arrived."

Seeing that Xiao Anman was a little unhappy because Doubao refused to be fed, Zhong Jiayi's previous complaints disappeared. Not only that, but he also helped to explain.

Really?

An An looked at Zhong Jiayi, seeking confirmation.

"real."

That's good. Doubao just ate, so she's not hungry. An'an, you can rest assured.

I thought Doubao didn't like me anymore.

"What, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that his carefree friend had almost finished eating, Zhong Jiayi finally asked the question he cared about most.

"Are you referring to what happened between me and Gugu at sea?"

These few thrilling days were an unbearable time for everyone except the two who survived on the deserted island.

They waited anxiously and hoped every day, but it was difficult for them to get the result they really wanted.

Zhong Jiayi wanted to ask more than just about Xiao Anman's time at sea. He wanted to know how Xiao Anman was captured and what she went through during that time.

However, given the significant impact of this matter, even a straight man like Zhong Jiayi had to reconsider whether he should continue asking the question when faced with Xiao Anman's expression.

Unable to resist her curiosity, Zhong Jiayi nodded.

If what happened when the little fool was taken away was too terrifying for him, then he could simply not ask.

However, Zhong Jiayi felt that she could still listen to the application for drifting to an island.

Despite the concern of the adults and the curiosity of her friends, Xiao Anman, the person involved, did not actually react much.

For her, none of what she had experienced was actually terrifying.

It's like a brief, exciting dream; when you wake up, at most only a blurry shadow remains, and it doesn't constitute any real gloom.

She put down the silver-flowered spoon in her right hand, finished the last small bite of the pearl bun in her left hand, and began to explain to Zhong Jiayi her free life with Pei Gu on the island these past few days.

They didn't sound like people who had suffered misfortune due to an unexpected situation; they sounded more like they were going to a secret base.

Zhong Jiayi, who had been anxiously awaiting Xiao Anman's account of her difficult past, gradually changed from a serious expression to one of embarrassment.

What? This guy doesn't seem scared at all.

Could it be that she wasn't actually kidnapped by bad guys at all, and just secretly slipped out to play?

Then, as Zhong Jiayi thought about this, he shook his head. What was he thinking? Perhaps he had caught the influence of this silly little devil beside him; he was no longer himself at all.

Otherwise, how could I forget how everyone was frantically searching for me these past few days, neglecting sleep and meals?

If An'an could have done this by sneaking out on her own, then this little idiot is really good at running around.

Besides, given Xiao Anman's personality, she can't possibly run very far on her own.

The two little ones sitting together were very close because they were talking about something.

The two fluffy little heads huddled together, creating a very picturesque scene.

Once again ignored, Grandpa Doubao couldn't resist jumping from his chair onto Xiao Anman's chair and then lying down in Xiao Anman's arms.

When petting dogs had become a conditioned reflex, Xiao Anman didn't feel that Doubao's addition was a bit abrupt.

The more Zhong Jiayi listened, the more convinced he became that it made sense; Xiao Anman was hardly suffering outside.

Listen to the way they drooled and salivated as they described Pei Gu's delicious grilled fish.

Heaven has been incredibly kind to Xiao An; even after dumping her on a deserted island, it didn't forget to provide her with a personal cook.

"...Aren't you afraid?"

So they were all worrying for nothing," Zhong Jiayi asked curiously halfway through the conversation.

Xiao Anman stroked Doubao's fur and shook his head: "I miss Daddy."

She wasn't really scared, but when her memories returned, she missed her family terribly.

Sure enough, this little fool didn't feel any fear at all from beginning to end.

So, is this what they mean by "fools have foolish luck"?

Zhong Jiayi looked up at the sky; perhaps this is the only explanation that best reflects the current situation.

Unlike the innocent little dumpling here, the tense and serious atmosphere on Gu Tingxiao's side remained unchanged.

Because of Pei Gu's special status, he was not in a hurry to participate in their 'family meeting'. After a brief introduction, he planned to leave.

After all, Little Anman has already arrived home, and his mission is now complete.

Whether it's for Xiao Anman or for himself, this has absolutely nothing to do with him.

However, he did not manage to leave as he had hoped.

"You've met An'an before."

This is not a question, but a statement.

Gu Tingxiao's father's judgment was quite accurate, because Pei Gu's appearance inexplicably reminded him of Xiao Anman's first disappearance.

Before he was even truly recognized as the Gu family's benefactor, Pei Gu was already listed as suspect number one by Gu Tingxiao.

Pei Gu, the scapegoat, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he cursed the guy who had made him take the blame and was now unable to leave gracefully.

It turns out that Xuan Yin was enjoying his rare vacation time abroad, but he was caught off guard and sneezed in a very unseemly way.

Strange, did I catch a cold?

Xuan Yin touched his nose; it didn't seem like it.

The scene cuts back to the home. Facing several pairs of eyes fixed on him, Pei Gu, disdainful of lying, nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it before."
