”Mr. Pei, when I went to the washroom, I didn't know why the door couldn't open. Now that I'm locked inside, can I trouble you to help me?”

With an anxious look on her face, she stared expectantly at the calm face of Pei Zi Yun.

No matter what, Pei Zi Yun could always keep his head clear.

Furthermore, this was the Gu family, so what could possibly happen to Gu Ling Ai? If the lock was broken, naturally, someone would repair it. Moreover, Gu Qi was still here, so there was no need for him to do anything.

”Young madam, I …”

”Mr. Pei, Ai Ai Hui must be very scared right now. I believe that since she has done so much for you, you … Will they help her? ”

Xin Nianyin impatiently interrupted Pei Zi Yun. When she had suggested this idea to Gu Ling Ai, she had expected him to reject her.

But who was she? Even if she had to tie him up, she had to tie Pei Zi Yun up.

”You can go and take a look. You can only take care of whatever that girl is up to.”

Although Gu Wei didn't directly expose Xin Nianyin, but the two of them were playing a little trick on each other.

”Poor little girl, I just heard her crying in there.”

Xin Nianyin pushed the matter even further. Since everyone understood what he meant, she might as well pretend to be the fool. She had to pretend to be the best.

Pei Zi Yun was embarrassed by the conversation between the couple and walked in the direction Gu Ling Ai had just left in.

After Pei had left, Xin Nianyin made a triumphant face at Gu Jianming.

However, he was met with a glare from Gu Bo. He had just settled the matter with Ning Yan, yet he had come here to meddle in the affairs of others before settling the score with her.

”…”

Gu Qi grabbed Xin Nianyin's wrist and dragged her upstairs to their master bedroom without waiting for a response.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bathroom, Gu Ai was getting more and more annoyed as she waited.

In order to come back early and see her brother, she had so much to think about that she didn't even eat breakfast.

She had just wanted to eat something, but Third Sister-in-Law had suddenly given her this idea. Now that she had been left alone for so long, she felt a stomachache from the hunger.

Actually, she wasn't too sure. Although Third Sister-in-Law had promised her, she really couldn't be sure if Big Brother Zi Qian would come over.

Just as she was about to lose all hope, she heard a voice she hadn't heard for a long time.

”Ace? ”Are you still in there?”

Although he knew that nothing would happen to Gu Ai Hui, Pei Zi Yun's voice carried a tinge of worry.

”Brother Zi Qian, is that you? ”I …” Gu Ai Ai suddenly choked with sobs.

He didn't know if it was because he felt wronged or because he had a stomachache.

Pei Zi Yun heard Gu Ling Ai's tearful voice and could not care less.

Pei Zi Yun then started to kick the door of the washroom. Pei Zi Yun had been an expert since he was young, and was anxious to save someone.

Even if it was a door made of precious wood, it would not be able to withstand his kick. In just a few steps, the door was opened.

Inside the room, Gu Ai Ai was squatting on the ground. Her stomach pain made her curl up into a ball. Her face was pale as she pressed her hand against her stomach. The pained expression on her face didn't seem fake at all.

”Ai Ya, what's wrong?” Pei Zi Yun squatted down on the ground and asked in a rarely seen gentle voice. His tone was filled with an unconcealable sadness.

”Brother Zi, I … ”My stomach hurts …”

With great difficulty, Gu Ling Ai opened her mouth to speak. Her eyes were filled with tears and sparkles, causing Pei Zi Yun to feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

A little bit of heartache, and a little bit of tender affection.
