“Also, I’m only half a year younger than you. Don’t keep calling me Lil Dan Qi! Otherwise, people will keep thinking that I’m very young!”
“Aren’t you young?”
This time, Zhong Nuannuan, Aiden, and Selina spoke at the same time.
Dan Qi looked at the three people in front of him with a pair of injured eyes. He hugged his laptop and left with his slippers clattering loudly away.
When Zhong Nuannuan was in the video call, Jiang Shuwan called her dozens of times. However, since Zhong Nuannuan had already blocked Jiang Shuwan’s number, the call was instantly rejected.
Inside the detention center, Zhong Qianqian was absolutely distressed.
She never thought that after her mother sold the country bumpkin Zhong Nuannuan to human traffickers, that human trafficker actually sold Zhong Nuannuan overseas. Zhong Nuannuan actually became Duke Eton’s daughter, goddamnit.
Zhong Nuannuan was constantly reminded of the evening gown that Zhong Nuannuan wore during her grand entrance was actually the work of the world’s top designer, Mr. Maire. It was worth tens of millions, and Zhong Qianqian felt nothing but jealousy toward her.
If she knew that human traffickers were able to abduct people, send them overseas, and get adopted by Duke Eton, she would have preferred that she was the one who was abducted.
Zhong Qianqian was like a trapped beast. She stayed in the detention center for an entire day and night, but there was not a single trace of Gu Mingzhe.
When she first came in, she believed that even though she was charged with murder, as the little princess of the Nangong family, she could definitely leave this prison.
However, after a day and a night, Zhong Qianqian’s confidence was slowly chipped away as the number of interrogations she had increased.
The person that Gu Mingzhe liked was obviously Zhong Nuannuan. He might feel that Zhong Nuannuan was more worth making use of now. If he decided to ignore her and give up on rescuing her from here, what was she going to do?
It was all that b*tch, Zhong Nuannuan’s fault!
Everything was her fault!
If Zhong Nuannuan did not show up, Zhong Qianqian would already be the precious young miss of the Nangong family!
Undeniably, Zhong Qianqian’s brain had completely malfunctioned.
If she had not insisted on coming back to attend the auction—or bringing Huang Yuhan along with her—would she be where she was today?
Gu Mingzhe did not stay idle for the whole day either.
He heard that there had been an explosion where the auction was held, but eventually, everyone evacuated safely. He was sure that Chi Yang must have gained some credits for that.
Thinking about how the beautiful Nuannuan he loved was actually Duke Eton’s daughter, Gu Mingzhe’s heart started palpitating uncontrollably.
This poor soldier, Chi Yang, was really lucky!
Initially, he was gleeful for the explosion to have happened during the auction. He was hoping that Chi Yang died in the explosion, but he did not expect the poor soldier to be so tough!
Yes, in Gu Mingzhe’s eyes, Chi Yang was just a poor soldier. He was flabbergasted to hear Chi Yang refer to Young Master Xiao as ‘Shen Bin’ with such familiarity and intimacy. However, after coming back yesterday, he looked up all the surnames that made up the wealthy families in Emperor District and even extending his search to other districts. There was no surname ‘Chi’ at all.
Therefore, Gu Mingzhe made a bold decision to fight for the chance to keep both Zhong Qianqian and Zhong Nuannuan in his life.
Firstly, Zhong Qianqian was already his wife. He still had to rely on Zhong Qianqian to bring the Gu family to greater heights. Secondly, even if Nuannuan was nothing, she blossomed like a rose to his thorny mind; glowed like the brightest moon in his darkest skies!
Gu Mingzhe brought the contract with him and confirmed that Zhong Qianqian’s tolerance had probably reached its limit. If he did not hurry, that stupid woman would probably spread the news that she was the granddaughter of the Nangong family. After reasoning with himself, he finally started to head out.
