C49 (2/2)

If looks could kill, Xia Lan would have died on the spot.

Gu Xi Jue's face instantly darkened, the veins on his forehead throbbed as he glared at Xia Lan. What did he hear?

Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue's big hands that were clenched into fists, as if he would punch her at any time. In his heart, he was actually very afraid. It was her who said that Gu Xi Jue was her godfather.

She didn't know what was going on with her brain, but she suddenly came up with this idea.

Seeing Xiao Yan's shocked and terrified expression, Xia Lan felt that she had succeeded. In today's society, the definition of ”godfather” had long been demonized.

The only thing was that he was slightly afraid of Gu Xi Jue. The young and handsome Gourmet would probably beat her to death if she were to foster father.

Xia Lan bit the corner of her lips, looking at Gu Xi Jue in embarrassment, afraid that he would see through her.

Gu Xi Jue was quiet for a long time. He squinted his eyes to look at Xia Lan and then looked at Xiao Yan.

”This is?” Gu Xi Jue turned and asked Xia Lan.

Xia Lan immediately replied: ”This is a friend of mine from a young age, Xiao Yan.”

Xiao Yan saw through everything in one go and guessed everything.

Just a few days ago, he had heard of this name, and now, he could already see the person himself. He was talented, handsome, and refined. He was indeed the type that young ladies were infatuated with the most.

Gu Xi Jue moved to Xia Lan's side and placed his arm around her slender waist, lowering his head to whisper into her ear. ”You sure have amazing guts.”

Xia Lan trembled as she shivered. She naturally knew that he was referring to using him.

”Since he's been a friend since he was young, can he still be considered a childhood friend?” Gu Xi Jue said in an unflustered manner.

Xia Lan looked up at him. The ridicule in his eyes was too strong, so she could only bite the bullet and nod.

As for Xiao Yan, the expression in his eyes had already changed from shock to grief. He never would have thought that her pure and cute blue color would become like this.

He could not accept that someone he had spent so much effort to find for a few years actually became someone else's goddaughter, and that person was not an old man, but a famous genius in A City, Gu Xi Jue.

”Greetings, can we leave now?” Gu Xi Jue had nothing to say to Xiao Yan, so he did not want to stay here any longer under the identity of ”godfather”.

Xia Lan nodded her head, she did not say much, and from the beginning till the end, she did not raise her eyes, and when Gu Xi Jue held her waist and turned around, she did not even raise her head to look at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at her figure quietly, his eyes completely red, his fists clenched, and shouted unwillingly: ”Could it be that you don't even want to see your father anymore?”

Xia Lan stopped moving and turned around to look at Xiao Yan. Seeing the change in his eyes, she asked, ”Is anything wrong with my father?”

She had never thought about what would happen to her father. After all, she was the leader of the Xia family. After all, she was the master of the family. How could he behave like this?
