if……
If he uses the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to stay at the Qin family's house, then...
Being near the water tower gives you an advantage!
Maybe he and Xuancao will have a future together.
Upon hearing this, Xuancao exclaimed, "!!"
She glared at him, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, and said, "What do you mean I want you to stay? Ji Zichen, aren't you supposed to be very smart?"
"You're so smart, don't you know that if I wanted you to stay, my mom would definitely kick you out?"
She looked at Ji Zichen's sling arm and pale face, and said angrily, "Aren't you Uncle Gu's subordinate? You can make a move on Uncle Gu, but don't make a move on me!"
"You're trying to take advantage of me; you're trying to steal my mother's daughter!"
"If you're after Uncle Gu, my mom... might just extend that affection to him as well."
In the end, Xuan Cao got even angrier.
Uncle Gu, that old scoundrel, actually kissed her mother!
Unfortunately, her mother still let that scoundrel get his way!
this……
It's like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit. What can she, as a daughter, do?
Interfering won't work...
She just barged in with a man!
Upon hearing this, Ji Zichen said: ...
He looked at the daylily with a thoughtful expression.
"you……"
He muttered, "What mischief are they plotting now?"
Daylily: ...
She blinked her big eyes and looked at him innocently.
"I'm using you!"
She smiled and said, "Uncle Gu once said that the best strategy is to win people's hearts. I think my mother still has some lingering feelings for Qin Yuzhu, that adopted daughter."
"If I bring you home, my mom will be even more worried about me, afraid you'll kidnap me!"
"At that point, she won't have the mind to care about those jade beads and marbles!"
That's not all.
With Ji Zichen, this big third wheel, around, she refused to believe that Uncle Gu could still find a chance to bully her mother!
Ji Zichen is not the same as Old Yuan's bald head!
He was a former special forces soldier, and nothing could escape his ears.
Even if Uncle Gu is a scoundrel with a thick skin, he can't be all lovey-dovey with his mother in front of outsiders, right?
The more Xuancao thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed, and her small face, no bigger than a palm, began to glow.
Ji Zichen: ...
Looking at the radiant Xuancao with a complicated expression, he murmured, "Do you always admit to using people so bluntly? Or... are you trying to cover it up?"
"You actually just feel sorry for me and want me to stay?"
Upon hearing this, Xuancao exclaimed, "!!!"
I snapped back to reality instantly.
Stop being so presumptuous!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Men only slow down my progress! You've already delayed my learning of the periodic table from my sister-in-law!"
Ji Zichen: "The periodic table? Your sister-in-law taught you this? Can you even learn it?"
Xuancao proudly raised her little face, "I guarantee I'll learn, okay?"
"real?"
"..."
While the two were whispering in the main room, the food was ready in the kitchen. Yu Mingxiang served a portion and handed it to Gu Guanhai.
"Send it to Ji Zichen!"
Thinking of her daughter's attitude towards Ji Zichen, she added, "Tell him to finish eating and leave quickly. I finally found my daughter; I can't let that wolf cub snatch her away!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Guanhai immediately nodded.
Don't worry!
He patted his chest and assured her, "Your daughter is my daughter, and I promise I won't let that guy take advantage of her!"
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
Watching him pound his chest so hard, I was terrified.
What do you mean her daughter is his daughter?
them……
He's only halfway through his role, but he's already getting into character so quickly!
"Go quickly!"
She nudged him and urged, "A daughter grows up and leaves home; don't let Xuancao stay with him any longer."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Guanhai agreed and carried the tray to the main room.
The curtain was lifted.
As soon as he entered the room, the two people who were whispering to each other by the bed quickly separated.
Gu Guanhai saw this: ...
His brows furrowed slightly.
He placed the tray heavily on the table.
"Eat!"
He glanced at Ji Zichen and said coldly, "Finish your meal and get out of here!"
