“What are we betting on?” Feng Tianlan looked down at him, his ink-black eyes gleaming with a cold light.
“You go and confess to Beautiful Sister, see if she will accept you! If she accepts you, you win; if she rejects you, it means she doesn’t fancy you, and I win!”
FengYuanxi secretly thought, “If father successfully confesses, that would be great. Even if Hose, Ill be happy. If Beautiful Sister doesn’t accept father, at least Ill win against him.”
No matter which way it goes, he won’t consider it a loss!
Feng Tianlan coolly refused. “I won’t bet.”
Feng Yuanxi provoked him, “Are you afraid of losing, father? So deep down, you also know that Beautiful Sister doesn’t like you, right!”
Feng Tianlan smirked without commenting.
Oh no! Father didn’t take the bait!
Feng Yuanxi wrinkled his little nose.
Despite the urge to give up at this juncture, he couldn’t quell the unwillingness in his heart.
Ever since he thought about having his father marry Beautiful Sister, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
He must find a way to get his father to marry Beautiful Sister!
He just wanted Beautiful Sister to become his mother!
During a lull in the conversation between father and son, in the front courtyard of Jun Residence, the tense atmosphere was somewhat relieved compared to before.
Gu Zhicheng’s expression was cold as he asked, “When will Gu Qingluan come back?”
Su Lie shook his head. “My Lady didn’t say.”
“When she returns, tell her to see me!”
Su Lie agreed.
Gu Zhicheng then led the Gu family members and left.
Gu Jinyue noticed that Qitian Yu hadn’t left and decided to stay as well.
Gu Zhicheng scolded, and the father and son of the second branch quickly pulled Gu Jinyue away.
“I wonder what the Fifth Prince wants?” Bo He asked bluntly.
Although the Fifth Prince had just protected their Mistress and Little Young Master, Bo He remained vigilant.
Qitian Yu wasn’t annoyed and smiled generously, handing over a jade card. “Since Qingluan is not here, I won’t disturb you any longer. This is the token of our palace. Give it to your Lady and tell her that if she encounters any trouble, she can take the token to the Fifth Prince’s mansion for help.”
Upon hearing this, Bo He’s expression eased as she took the jade card. “I will convey the message to our Lady. Thank you, Fifth Prince, for your help to Jun Residence.”
Qitian Yu smiled lightly, “Qingluan and I have known each other since childhood, and our feelings are different from those of others. This is what I should do.”
He turned his head and looked at Gu Xiaonan, “Xiaonan, if you have time, you can come to the Fifth Prince’s mansion to play. I will take my leave today.”
Gu Xiaonan waved his paw innocently. “Fifth Prince, goodbye!”
Watching Qitian Yu ride away on his horse, Su Lie sighed. “We owe the Fifth Prince a lot today; otherwise, who knows how much trouble we would have encountered.”
Gu Xiaonan pursed his lips. “He’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Uncle Su, don’t be deceived by him.”
Bo He nodded. “Xiaonan is right. The Fifth Prince had been scolded by our Lady some time ago and left with resentment. Today, however, he didn’t take advantage of the situation; instead, he defended our Lady in every aspect. His cunning runs deep, and until we discern his true intentions, we must remain vigilant and not let our guard down.”
Su Lie’s expression slightly changed. “That’s true.”
“Xiaonan!” Feng Yuanxi appeared outside the gate, holding Xiaobai.
“Yuanxi! You came! Did you come alone?”
“My father also came, but he went back directly after the bad people left.”
Feng Yuanxi handed Xiaobai back to him. “Are you guys alright?”
“We’re fine, we’re fine! Thank you for coming all the way to help!”
Although he didn’t really help, Gu Xiaonan was still very grateful to Yuanxi for coming to help him.
“Xiaonan, what happened? Are you guys alright?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Gu Qingluan drifted over gracefully.
“Mother!”
“Beautiful Sister!”
Xiaonan and Yuanxi ran excitedly towards her..
