Chapter 1170: The gentleman’s conniving ways (1/2)

Long Feiye and Gu Beiyue were already at the door, but neither Han Yunxi nor Lil Thing noticed as they glared at each other. Abruptly, Han Yunxi straightened up and pointed a finger at the squirrel.

“Well well, Lil Thing. You don’t think you’re wrong, do you?”

Lil Thing didn’t under what Mama Yunxi was saying, but it more or less guessed that she was blaming it for bullying Fourth Young Miss Ren. It didn’t pick on her, not really, when it hadn’t even touched her a bit. At most, it was trying to scare the girl. It could yield to Mama Yunxi on a hundred other things, but not this one! It wanted Mama Yunxi to know that it didn’t like Fourth Young Miss Ren, much less want her to fantasize about the gentleman.

Lil Thing placed its claws against the table before arching forward to cheep noisily at Han Yunxi.

“I see! You’ve gotten so bold after we just reunited! Are you rebelling?” Han Yunxi demanded.

“Cheep…!” Lil Thing cheeped loudly.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Admit your wrongs! Will you or won’t you?” Han Yunxi asked, then added, “Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!”

Lil Thing could hear the warning tone in Mama Yunxi’s voice, but it didn’t understand any details. It stood up on its hnd legs to look at her doubtfully. Seeing this, Han Yunxi grew doubtful too. Did it get my threats or not?

Han Yunxi thought of something before rolling up her sleeve to reveal the priceless jade crystal bracelet. She fomed one hand into a fist while touching the bracelet with her fingers and fixing Lil Thing with a cold look. Lil Thing stared and stared before its fur stood on end. At last, it understood her threat.

“What does she mean by that?” Long Feiye was clueless.

Han Yunxi and Lil Thing whipped their heads over. As soon as Lil Thing saw Long Feiye, it flew to the ceiling rafters and curled up into a furball. After learning the truth about Lustbite energy, Lil Thing feared Long Feiye more than ever. It didn’t count the man’s “hug” as the real thing. For all it knew, they’d only bumped briefly.

“Princess is using Your Highness’s name to warn Lil Thing!” Gu Beiyue smiled as he walked inside.

Long Feiye’s gaze swept past the ceiling rafters, but he quickly shelved the topic. “Have you finished packing your things.”

“I had Mingxiang organize them for me. I can leave any time, what about Qishao?” Han Yunxi asked.

“No need to mind him,” Long Feiye’s attitude was as frigid as ever to avoid leave any traces.

“Are we going right now?” Han Yunxi asked. Scheduling their departure was still different from leaving in real life. She suddenly felt reluctant to leave Gu Beiyue behind.

“Mm. If you’re tired, rest a bit. Otherwise, we’ll set off,” Long Feiye replied.

Gu Beiyue was standing to the side, looking up at Lil Thing while beckoning it with his hand. Lil Thing would rather throw itself into the gentleman’s chest. It always used to hide in its arms to avoid Papa Long. But now it couldn’t bear to while knowing the gentleman’s chest still sported scars. They were remnants of his four claw marks.

“What’s wrong with Lil Thing?” Gu Beiyue smiled helplessly.

Lil Thing could be dazzled all day simply staring at the gentleman’s smile. It was so soft and warm and lovely, like spring sunshine upon Earth making all the flowers bloom. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi told them all about Lil Thing bullying Fourth Young Miss Ren.

“What do you think is wrong with it?” Han Yunxi asked helplessly.

Long Feiye wasn’t interested in the topic one bit. He had already started packing up his desk. Han Yunxi was the only one allowed to pack his things but she was pregnant now, so he’d forbidden her from touching his things. Gu Beiyue had infinite patience towards Lil Thing and smiled as he beckoned to it again.

This is the second time! Lil Thing couldn’t resist and leaped down from the ceiling, but chose to land on Gu Beiyue’s shoulder, then ran down his arm to sit in his hand.

Han Yunxi felt helplessly. “Give it a good talk. It has to stay here. If it doesn’t learn its lesson, it might end up pestering Fourth Young Miss Ren everyday!”

As Lil Thing had eaten the poison fruits, it also possessed an undying body that could help out Gu Qishao and Gu Beiyue. Just like the past, Gu Beiyue teased Lil Thing’s ears and tail with his index finger. Lil Thing knew that Mama Yunxi had tattled about its wrongs, so it sat there waiting for the gentleman to interrogate it. But he simply continued to smile and tease him as if nothing had happened. Lil Thing was perturbed at fist, but it gradually relaxed before the gentleman’s warm smile.

Han Yunxi looked at them doubtfully and asked, “Gu Beiyue, this is how you’re talking to it?”

Gu Beiyue replied, “Lil Thing probably dislikes Fourth Young Miss Ren. I’ll tell someone to keep her visits sparse in the future.”

“Fourth Young Miss Ren is your most able assistant…” Han Yunxi reminded him.

Although she was Lil Thing’s master, she couldn’t let Gu Beiyue spoil it so much!

“It’s fine. She can simply find Vice Academy Head Shen, who can better call the shots,” Gu Beiyue said lightly. “The Ren Clan will marry her off sooner or later.”

Han Yunxi wasn’t very clear on the factions of Medical City, but she could hear the inklings from Gu Beiyue’s words. Fourth Young Miss Ren was a friend worth making, but her Ren Clan was the second most powerful family in Medical City. Thanks to Gu Yuntian’s affair, the Gu Clan fell and it took its place at the top.
