Rong Xin, in particular, thinking of Gu Rong's nightmarish appearance, held her tightly and refused to let go: "No, you're just recovered, you're not allowed to go to the study for now."
"I'm fine. Besides, Grandpa's here. He'll definitely protect me," Gu Rong said, trying to break free. But she was no match for him and was held tightly and couldn't get down.
Seeing that she was no match for him, Gu Rong turned to Rong Liancheng and complained, "Grandpa, look at her."
Seeing that Gu Rong was in good spirits and still had the energy to play around, everyone felt relieved.
His gaze fell on his daughter's worried face, and Rong Liancheng knew her concerns: "I'm here for you, put Rong Bao down."
Although unwilling, Rong Xin obeyed and put Gu Rong down.
As soon as Gu Rong got off the plane, she ran happily towards the study.
Seeing her acting like she was being chased by a thief, Rongxin called out worriedly from behind, "Rongbao, slow down!"
She ran to the study door and saw that Rong Liancheng was not moving, so she waved to him and said, "Grandpa, hurry up, it's really a very important matter."
Rong Liancheng shook his head helplessly and walked into the study, leaning on his cane.
As soon as he entered, Gu Rong closed and locked the study door.
Turning around, he helped Rong Liancheng sit down on the main seat, while Gu Rong sat opposite him.
After sitting down, Gu Rong reached out to Rong Liancheng: "Grandpa, give me the jade pendant I took out yesterday."
The jade pendant was originally given to him by Gu Rong. Without saying a word, Rong Liancheng took it out and placed it in her small hand: "Be careful..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the jade pendant he had just placed in Gu Rong's hand disappeared.
The jade pendant appeared in Gu Rong's hand yesterday, but he didn't see it appear the moment it did, and thought she had hidden it on her person.
Seeing the jade pendant disappear from Gu Rong's hand and reappear in her hand several times, Rong Liancheng smiled and said, "As expected, she really didn't lie to me."
Rong Liancheng walked to Gu Rong's side, grabbed her hand and laughed, "Did you meet a god? He even gave you a cloth bag that can hold a lot of things?"
Seeing that he had directly assigned himself an identity, Gu Rong immediately chimed in: "Yes, an old deity said that our family was in trouble and gave me a very large place so that I could hide the family's treasures there."
But the old sage also said that most of those things belong to our country, and we can't be too greedy and take everything. We have to leave most of them behind, and hide them in the place that Grandpa originally intended to hide them.
He was initially somewhat skeptical, but after listening to what Gu Rong said and seeing the jade pendant she was waving, Rong Liancheng, who had originally intended to take all of her heart away, was now convinced.
However, he didn't feel bad about keeping those things.
After all, Rongxin didn't want to leave and wanted to stay. Those things would be inherited here and wouldn't become ownerless.
Rong Liancheng just felt that Gu Qiang was no good.
Rong Liancheng lowered his head and looked at the little girl: "This is a secret between the two of us. Can Rong Bao promise Grandpa that you won't tell anyone about this?"
Although she didn't want to pretend, Gu Rong still put on an act at her age: "Grandma, Mom and Dad, my brother and uncles, aren't they all okay?"
Rong Liancheng shook his head with a stern face: "No, you can't tell anyone, especially your father. You can't tell anyone but the two of us, otherwise something terrible will happen to the family, and you'll never see us again. Rong Bao, are you willing to do that?"
"I can't bear to part with him. I promised Grandpa I wouldn't tell anyone, especially Dad. Grandpa, please don't let Rongbao go," Gu Rong said, covering her mouth as if she were scared.
"Rongbao, don't be afraid, Grandpa... your mother will always be with you, don't worry," Rong Liancheng said, reluctantly holding Gu Rong in his arms.
After testing Gu Rong's pouch space in the study and confirming that it could store a lot of things, Rong Liancheng led Gu Rong out of the study.
He handed Gu Rong to Rong Xin and rubbed her little face: "Remember what Grandpa said, pinky promise."
The two, one big and one small, hooked their little fingers together and made a promise with smiles: "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years."
After Rong Liancheng made a pinky promise, he called his three sons into the study.
Watching their actions, Fan Qi jealously hugged Gu Rong and asked, "Can you tell Grandma what you said to Grandpa?"
"No, it's a secret," Gu Rong said, covering her mouth, unwilling to say another word.
Fearing they might ask more questions, she even pulled Gu Xing aside to play.
Seeing that she was alright, Rongxin felt relieved and didn't think of asking any more questions.
Even without asking too many questions, she could probably guess what was going on just by looking at the closed study.
After a while, the study door opened, and Rong Liancheng and his three sons came out, their expressions somewhat solemn.
Gu Rong, who was playing with Gu Xing, soon felt sleepy again.
She walked over to Rongxin and rubbed her eyes, saying, "I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep. Don't wake me up when I'm sleeping, okay?"
Hearing Gu Rong's words, Rong Xin realized that Gu Rong could hear them while she was asleep, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Why can't I call you?"
"I'm asleep. You guys were talking so much and it was so noisy and annoying," Gu Rong said, and then fell asleep in Rong Xin's arms.
However, after several times during the day, Rongxin and the others stopped talking loudly, afraid of bothering people and causing them harm.
Seeing Gu Xing and Rong Shengyan still making a fuss, Rong Xin gestured for them to be quiet: "Rong Bao is asleep. Don't disturb her before she wakes up, okay?"
"Okay, I promise I won't bother her," Gu Xing nodded obediently, even making a zipping motion over her mouth.
Seeing this, Rong Shengyan and Rong Shengyi also shut their mouths, raised two fingers to the ground and gestured for them to go outside and play.
Seeing their well-behaved manners, Rong Xin was very pleased. She took out money and candy coupons from her pocket and gave them to Rong Shengyan: "Xiao Yan, take them to buy candy. Don't run around, okay?"
"Mmm," Rong Shengyan said, taking the money and leading the younger children out.
After putting Gu Rong in the room, Rong Xin came out of the room and sat in the courtyard, staring at the tightly closed door of the study. Even when they were having dinner that evening, the people in the study did not come out.
After coaxing Gu Xing to sleep, Rong Xin sat in the courtyard until it was completely dark before she saw Rong Liancheng leading his three older brothers out of the study.
When Rong Liancheng saw Rong Xin sitting there, he knew she was waiting for him. He waved to her and said, "Xiao Xin, come here. Daddy will take you and your brother somewhere."
It was completely dark by now, and Rongxin was puzzled as to why she was going out at this hour: "At this hour? Where are you going?"
"Just follow along, your father wouldn't harm you," Rong Liancheng said without saying anything else, and led the way.
Rong Fanyu tugged at Rong Xin's arm and winked at her, signaling her to follow.
