”Fourth Uncle.”

She shouted very loudly, her soft hands stroking the man's wrist. Her small face had a tinge of blush, and she was panting from the intense running.

Gu Zhongshen squinted, and for some unknown reason, his heart started to tremble, but he quickly shifted his gaze away as a heavy voice emerged from his throat, ”Follow me, is there something you need?”

Yes!

”Then... You want to send me off to Fourth Uncle? ”

She lowered her gaze, covering her eyes with her thick eyelashes and casting a faint shadow over them. She really looked as if she was blushing, with traces of a captivating red on the tip of her nose …

The man's gaze darkened. A few days ago, he was acting like a tiger cub, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. Now, he looked more like a harmless kitten.

He answered with a ”En” and said, ”Come on up.”

Lu Qinan sat on one of the most luxurious carriages in the city, and her skirt was neatly arranged at her side. In the dark carriage, her line of sight drifted back and forth …

”Where?”

She opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Gu Zhongshen's gaze finally moved over, and with a warm voice, she said: ”Address.”

Only now did Lu Qinan react, his voice was soft and clear, ”Sun Moon City Garden.”

She waited for a while, her slender fingers twisting the hem of her skirt. It was only after the carriage had turned a few corners did she finally muster up the courage to say, ”Fourth Uncle, what I just said is true.”

”I like you very much!”

The man's arm hung by his side. Only at this moment did he open his eyes and take a glance at her. With a faint surprised expression, he lowered his arm and asked in a heavy voice, ”What do you like about me?”

”I like how you're good-looking and rich!”
