Cheng Qi was only 15 years old this year, but he had matured beyond his age. Today, the rain was drizzling, and the assistant held up a black umbrella for Cheng Qi.
The rain dripped down along the edge of the black umbrella, and Cheng Qi’s overly handsome face was slowly revealed. Standing on the stairs, looking down from above, he had the demeanor of a young king.
Gu Chu was truly stunned.
She thought to herself, this kid was only fifteen years old. In the future, when he becomes an adult, how many men and women will he bring harm to?
“Young Master Cheng, you’re here?” The staff member who picked up Lin Xiaozhou was shocked. Could it be that Young Master Cheng paid so much attention to this new streamer, Lin Xiaozhou, that he personally came over?!
This treatment was too rare!
Young Master Cheng was in charge of the Cheng family at such a young age. He would only show his face during the most important occasions. The staff members muttered in their hearts. It seemed that Young Master Cheng was very fond of the new host.
This host had a bright future.
Gu Chu held Manxi’s hand and looked at Cheng Qi with her big clear eyes. The young master of the Cheng family was personally greeting them. Could it be that he was doing this just for Lin Xiaozhou?
Perhaps it was more for Gu Manxi?
Gu Chu secretly laughed. She never expected that a fifteen-year-old child would actually like Gu Manxi and even want to be her stepfather.
“Young Master Cheng.” Lin Xiaozhou was careless in private, but when he saw Cheng Qi waiting for him, his tone was very serious. “Thank you for helping me out with the previous incident.”
If it weren’t for Cheng Qi’s help, Lin Xiaozhou really didn’t dare to imagine how bad the situation would be.
He would be overwhelmed by the amount of slander.
When he returned home, he might be attacked by the haters who had ambushed him and break his hand.
He might even… be unable to accept it and leave this world forever.
“You’re welcome.” Cheng Qi nodded slightly. His unfathomable gaze swept past Lin Xiaozhou and landed on Gu Manxi, who was dressed in plain clothes and had beautiful eyes.
Cheng Qi said, “Miss Gu, long time no see. How are you?”
Cheng Qi could also be considered Gu Manxi’s savior.
Gu Manxi nodded gently and showed her gratitude. “I’m fine, thank you.”
Cheng Qi glanced at the five-year-old Gu Chu from the corner of his eyes. “I did what I had to.”
The corners of Gu Chu’s mouth curled up secretly. This little brat really has an improper desire for her mother. It’s a pity that he’d have to queue up if he wanted to be her stepfather.
After all, there were plenty of love interests before him. It would be a while until it was finally his turn.
…
“Mr. Lin, please follow me to the dressing room. We’ll start shooting in an hour,” the receptionist said respectfully.
The assistant whispered something into Cheng Qi’s ear, and Cheng Qi’s expression changed slightly.
“You guys go ahead. I still have something to do. I’ll come over later,” Cheng Qi said.
Lin Xiaozhou replied, “Okay, Young Master Cheng, you go ahead.”
Cheng Qi squatted down and pinched Gu Chu’s fair and tender little face. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. “Chuchu, what do you like to eat? I…” he paused and added meaningfully, “I can buy you anything you want.”
For some reason, when Cheng Qi pinched her little face with his cold fingers, Gu Chu felt a chill run down her spine.
It was as if a cat was staring at a mouse.
Gu Chu’s little body was slightly stiff. Cheng Qi still had the same young and mature handsome look. Gu Chu really couldn’t see anything more.
But why could she feel the chill?
Gu Manxi laughed softly and said gently, “Young Master Cheng, Chuchu is a picky eater. You don’t have to specially take care of her.”
“Like Chuchu like puffs?” The corners of Cheng Qi’s mouth raised into a faintly discernible smile with a hint of teasing.
