Chapter 170: Eager to Unearth Her Secret
Gu Dongxing didn’t expect that the little creature would be so bold as to steal Li Chunhua’s precious little iron box.
This iron box was no trifling matter.
Moreover, he was with her the entire time and still didn’t notice how she managed to steal the iron box.
It seems he still didn’t understand this little creature.
However, after reading the letter, he knew the most difficult part of this matter was indeed "safety."
Mengyu said, "Brother Gu, I think locating them and handing over the items isn’t a problem, but what I’m afraid of is, after they get these land deeds and deposit slips, they might become targets of envy. Wouldn’t that be harming them?"
Gu Dongxing stroked her hair: "Silly girl, leave this matter to me to handle. Stop frowning."
Mengyu finally relaxed.
"Brother Gu, don’t you think, what I did, is illegal?" Mengyu asked nervously: "You won’t hand me over, will you?"
Gu Dongxing smiled amusedly: This little creature, was she actually testing him?
He shook the letter: "This is a gift from Li Baoxiang, it’s not illegal!"
Mengyu finally felt reassured: "Okay, I’ll leave these things to you then. You see to returning them to Li Baoxiang’s direct descendants. How about we split the treasures in this box fifty-fifty?"
Gu Dongxing wanted to say he didn’t want any.
But suddenly he had a thought, with Mengyu obtaining such a large fortune, would there now be a wealth gap between them?
No, to prevent the wealth gap from widening between them, he, Gu Dongxing, really must accept this wealth.
Besides, according to the letter, ensuring the safety of Li Baoxiang’s direct descendants to receive the wealth was the only way to be rewarded with these treasures.
Furthermore, dealing with the aftermath involving Li Chunhua also had to be handled by him personally.
With this matter, a secret was now shared between them.
And with a shared secret, it would be harder to part ways in the future.
So, he agreed readily: "Agreed!"
Just now, Mengyu had only taken out the letter, but seeing Gu Dongxing’s agreement, she immediately went back to her room and brought out the little iron box.
Gu Dongxing gazed at the treasure in the iron box, dumbstruck.
He had only heard Mengyu mention a large treasure but hadn’t expected it to be this substantial.
He felt fortunate to have agreed with Mengyu; otherwise, her holding onto such a large sum would be like a ticking time bomb.
He took away the entire box of treasure: "When it’s converted to money, I’ll give you your share."
Mengyu trusted that he wouldn’t deceive her. His wish to take care of it was solely due to concerns over her safety with the box of treasures. She was touched by his consideration, without any misunderstanding.
Moreover, subconsciously, she had come to regard him as her boyfriend.
But still, she wanted to keep those items herself. Because, she felt, it was safer in her care.
She thought for a moment and reached out to touch the little iron box. The next instant, the iron box disappeared.
Gu Dongxing’s eyes widened, utterly shocked.
"Brother Gu, I can perform magic. So, the part that belongs to me, I’ll keep it myself," Mengyu said. Seeing his expression, she quickly added, "It’s not that I don’t trust Brother Gu, it’s just that, Brother Gu might not keep it as safe as I can. With me, it’s absolutely secure."
Gu Dongxing couldn’t believe it; the wife he was intending to marry, actually possessed magic!
It seems, his little fiancée also had secrets.
He had to find a way to unearth her secrets. Only by sharing secrets, could they become intimate partners.
