"Remember." Xun Ting's red lips curled slightly as she glanced at the pitiful child, trying to elicit her sympathy.
She reached out and touched her little face. Did she have a saintly face? Otherwise, why would they all think she would have compassion for no reason?
"Listen, let me stay at your place tonight, and we'll call it even." Gu Shen turned his face away somewhat awkwardly as he said this.
He was desperate... otherwise he wouldn't have asked Xun Ting for help!
"Tell me what happened to you." Xun Ting slowly squatted down, crossed her legs, and sat on the floor, not caring at all that the floor wasn't very clean.
Anyway, she had nothing to do back at the villain's villa. It was rare to see such a proud child with a headache, and she was quite curious about what had happened to leave Young Master Gu homeless.
"I had a fight with my family."
"Then you can stay at your younger brother's house."
"I'm the boss in their eyes, how could I possibly be reduced to having nowhere to go? I absolutely won't trouble them." Gu Shen suddenly became agitated.
So many terrible things happened today!
"You can stay in a hotel," Xun Ting suggested casually. It wasn't that she was stingy, but she herself had nowhere to stay. Taking the child to the villain's house would be tantamount to courting death.
Gu Shen rolled his eyes. Did he think of a hotel? "No money, no ID."
"Pfft...that sounds really tragic." Xun Ting raised an eyebrow, a little pleased.
"Are you really that petty? I don't mind that your place is small and uncomfortable, but you still won't take me with you. Are you still holding a grudge against me for causing you trouble the last two times?"
"You don't care." Xun Ting's eyes were full of charm as she glanced at him and chuckled softly, no longer joking: "I'll take you to a hotel and use my ID."
"I want to stay at your house."
"inconvenient."
"I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor," Gu Shen said shamelessly, making it clear that he didn't want to take advantage of her.
Listening to the child's shamelessness, I felt deeply ashamed, "That's even more unacceptable!"
"I'm not going to the hotel."
"Then figure it out yourself. I don't owe you anything, and I'm not obligated to take care of you, understand?" Xun Ting got up without hesitation, dusted himself off, and prepared to leave.
Gu Shen immediately reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist. It was so slender that he felt he could break it with a little force, and the touch was wonderful, making him instinctively tighten his grip.
Her tone changed from demanding to pleading, as if she was afraid that Xun Tingzhen would be heartless and abandon him.
"Listen, help me out! If you help me today, you can do whatever you want at school from now on, I'll protect you!"
"Are you kidding me? You can't even beat me." Xun Ting calmly withdrew her hand, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she looked at the red mark on her wrist and glanced up at the man.
If it weren't for his terrible expression, I would have almost thought he did it on purpose!
"You...you're fucking awesome, but you can't do everything yourself, can you? It's so much better to have a boss like me protecting you. You don't need to take action unless absolutely necessary!"
Gu Shen bragged as much as he could, thinking he was too smart. Once Xun Ting agreed, he would not only be her boss, but he could also ask her for help if he encountered someone he couldn't beat!
Xun Ting's lips twitched as she listened to the child's ingratiating voice, which sounded just like the scene where she was trying to please the villain.
“I don’t mind doing things myself.”
"Xun Ting, just tell me straight, what do you want in order to take me to your house?" Gu Shen felt somewhat helpless. He had said so much, but this woman remained unmoved.
