Gu Zhiqi’s eyes slightly lowered as she softly repeated the name Yun Yi, yet she couldn’t grasp the sense of familiarity she sought; somehow, she felt that this shouldn’t be her name.
Still, the name Yun Yi was familiar to her.
Yun Yi, the supporting female character in the novel.
A girl from the collateral branch of the Ancient Martial Arts World’s Yun Family, she was practically childhood sweethearts with the male lead, Fu Xiyan.
However, although she was the male lead’s childhood sweetheart, there wasn’t a single clue related to romantic feelings between them; she was neither a lovesick supporting character nor a malicious one but rather, she could be considered as an aid to the male and female leads’ romance.
"Are you the Miss Gu that Yun Sen mentioned?" Yun Yi asked as she looked at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi came back to her senses, looking back at Yun Yi and gently nodded.
Upon hearing that, Yun Yi slightly raised her eyebrows, turned to glance at Yun Sen and said, "Tell Yun Xin to arrange a flight for me and Xiao Zhizhi, oh, and seat Xiao Zhizhi next to me."
Gu Zhiqi was somewhat speechless, but strangely enough, the nickname Xiao Zhizhi gave her a sense of familiarity.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he acquiesced, "Yes."
The next morning, bright and early, Gu Zhiqi and Gu Yuluo took a flight on the Ever Winning Army’s private jet.
Gu Zhiqi was indeed seated next to Yun Yi.
On the plane, Gu Zhiqi saw many familiar faces, such as Tang Yichen, Tang Shuan, and Yun Xin, just to name a few, but there was no sign of Su Yunling.
"What’s the matter, looking for Su Yunling?" Yun Yi asked lazily as she lounged in the seat next to Gu Zhiqi, her voice seductively melodious.
"No," Gu Zhiqi withdrew her gaze and replied indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi clicked her tongue lightly, slightly turning her body to lean back in her seat and said to Gu Zhiqi, "That’s right, even if you were looking for him, you wouldn’t be able to find him." She then went on to explain, "He didn’t come with us; he returned to the country yesterday morning at six, and I ended up handling the aftermath for Soraya."
"Oh," Gu Zhiqi replied with a faint lack of interest.
"Xiao Zhizhi, why so cold to your sister? That’s not how a good child should treat a beautiful older sister," Yun Yi murmured softly as she looked at Gu Zhiqi’s perfunctory and indifferent demeanor.
Yun Yi’s chatter was not inferior to Yun Sen’s or Tang Yichen’s, ceaselessly nagging at Gu Zhiqi’s ear throughout the trip.
In the end, Gu Zhiqi chose to close her eyes and feign sleep, and only then did Yun Yi quiet down.
Tang Yun was cleaning the yard when Gu Chengcheng earnestly assembled a DIY model under the eaves of the house.
Gu Chengan wandered aimlessly with a watering can in hand, watering the flowers and plants in the flowerbed with a dazed expression.
Just then, a tall and slender figure appeared at the entrance of the Gu Family’s home.
Noticing the figure out of the corner of her eye, Tang Yun paused in her sweeping, abruptly turning her head to look at the young girl.
Hearing Tang Yun’s voice, Gu Chengan and Gu Chengcheng simultaneously turned to look toward the entrance.
Gu Xiyue wore a black baseball cap on her head, a black short-sleeved top, and black shorts down to her knees, with black sneakers on her feet. The only exception was the light pink bag she was holding.
Her already icy demeanor was highlighted even more by the black attire, but the coldness was somewhat diminished by the light pink paper bag in her hand.
"Aunt Tang." Gu Xiyue entered the courtyard, greeting Tang Yun with a cold yet polite acknowledgment.
