"Don’t worry. You don’t need to worry about the home, just take good care of yourself," Dad Gu said with a smile.
The family lingered, reluctant to part, but in the end they had to say goodbye.
Gu Yao dragged her luggage, smiling and waving to them.
Just as she was about to turn away, she caught sight of a figure standing in the distance, staring at her intently.
The smile on Gu Yao’s face froze for a few seconds before she managed to smile at the person calmly.
The person smiled back.
Afterward, Gu Yao pulled her luggage and turned to queue up for the security check.
Ais saw Gu Yao leave and glanced at the Gu family members still standing there, feeling quite the headache.
Not staying for long, he left first.
Gu Yao boarded the plane, searching for her seat.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed. Gu Yao checked her phone out of habit.
The message was from a tutor at her school in the United Kingdom.
She was just about to reply to the tutor when she finally found her seat.
"Excuse me, could you please move a bit, I need to get in..."
She had just started asking the person on the outside to scoot their feet in so she could pass when she looked up and saw the face of the person clearly, Gu Yao froze on the spot, her phone nearly slipping from her hand.
Gu Yao stared at the person, somewhat disbelieving her own eyes.
Not until the person turned their head to look at her did Gu Yao regain her composure.
"... Second brother, you, why are you here?"
Indeed, the person sitting next to her was Gu Sheng, who hadn’t come to see her off.
"..." Gu Sheng glanced at Gu Yao, said nothing, just drew in his feet to let her through.
Gu Yao, watching Gu Sheng’s actions, stood there without any reaction.
Is he on a business trip and just happens to be on the same flight as her?
Clearly, that was impossible, and it wasn’t such a coincidence.
He’s on a business trip? What business could he possibly have when their father and eldest brother were managing everything at home? He didn’t need to worry about anything.
Clearly, he was going to the United Kingdom with her.
Second brother, going with her?
At that thought, a chill inevitably rose from the depths of Gu Yao’s heart.
Without much thought, she turned to flee, but her arm was seized by Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng’s cold gaze fixed on her.
Gu Yao tried to pull her arm free, but Gu Sheng tightened his grip.
The next moment, Gu Sheng stood up from his seat and commanded, "Sit down." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"What are you trying to do? You’re going to the United Kingdom with me?!"
"Why are you going to the United Kingdom with me? When I was in the Capital City, you had people watching me all the time. Now that I’m going abroad, are you going to watch over me personally?" Gu Yao was very annoyed.
The pressure from Shangguan Yu and Gu Sheng was a significant reason for her steadfast resolve to leave.
If it weren’t for Shangguan Yu, she would have left long ago, tired of Gu Sheng’s abnormal control and surveillance.
If she had lost all hope for Shangguan Yu, there would have been even less reason to stay.
Yet she had never imagined that Gu Sheng would chase her onto the plane and sit right next to her.
She thought that after the last upheaval, Gu Sheng had calmed down, pulled his bodyguards back, and even disappeared for a few days, making her think she was finally free. But it turned out she wasn’t; he was still watching her.
And even more closely than before.
Gu Sheng watched the fear and resistance in Gu Yao’s eyes, and he didn’t immediately react with anger or say those infuriating words she dared not fight back against.
His lips moved slightly, using a gentle tone that others rarely heard him use, and that he himself had not used for a long time, he said, "I will change."
