It was rare that Old Master Gu was on her side, so Yan Xi felt that she had to seek justice for herself.
“Grandpa, Uncle wanted to attack us just now. I’m a girl and Gu Shen is so weak. The two of us are definitely no match for Uncle.”
She pouted and forced her tears to trickle down her face.
Old Master Gu had grown fond of Yan Xi lately. Now that he saw her cry, he felt quite bad for her..
“Don’t be afraid. Grandpa will protect you guys and won’t let Gu Sheng do anything he wants.”
“Grandfather is the best.” Yan Xi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “With Grandfather’s words, I’m not afraid anymore.”
Old Master Gu nodded. He thought for a while and said, “If you’re really afraid, take a few bodyguards with you from the old mansion. I’ve already given them their annual salaries, and I don’t really need so many people. It’s a waste if they stay idle. Why don’t you take some with you?”
Yan Xi’s eyes lit up. It would be a waste if she refused some free bodyguards. Moreover, the bodyguards in the old mansion were either retired special forces soldiers or mercenaries hired from overseas
t high prices. Their combat ability was top-notch.
She smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“It’s alright.” Old Master Gu heaved a sigh of relief.
At noon, Gu Shen and Yan Xi eft the old mansion and returned home.
In the car, Yan Xi was happily calculating how much she had earned this time. “Look, the bodyguards at the old mansion are making at least ten million yuan a year. Grandpa gave me four bodyguards this time, though it’s already August, it’s equivalent to earning sixteen million yuan.”
She smiled, her eyes curved like crescents.
“That’s a lot of money.”
Gu Shen smiled. “You money-grubber.”
“Everyone has a love for money.” Yan Xi said, “But I really look like a female villain today.”
She pretended to play the victim to gain sympathy, threatened, and enticed.
In half a day, she did all the bad things.
Gu Shen knew what she was talking about. The smile on his lips disappeared.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have dragged you into this messy family.”
“Gu Shen, why are you apologizing again?” Yan Xi pretended to be angry. “I already said that I’m on your side, but you always want to push me away!”
“That’s not what | meant.”
Yan Xi snorted. “Then you can’t say things like that in the future. We’re a married couple, so we should go through this together. Besides…” She took out the protective talisman.” I still have the protective talisman protecting me. It’ll help me turn misfortune into blessings! ”
Gu Shen was lost for words, not knowing what to say to that.
He smiled softly. “Then go and be your female villain. Ill be a male villain and do bad things with you.”
“We’re not doing bad things. We’re enforcing justice on behalf of heaven.” Yan Xi raised her chin. “We’re the hero and heroine.”
“Okay.”
Yan Xi took this as their oath of marriage. She opened her social media and posted a second post.
“Male and female heroes, the winners in life!” The photo was of her and Gu Shen’s legs tightly pressed together.
Before she could put down her phone, another message popped up in the notification.
It was a transfer message from Gu Hai.
Yan Xi exclaimed in surprise and said to Gu Shen, “Why did Grandpa transfer the money to me again? 100,000 yuan.”
“Since he gave it to you, just take it.” Gu Shen’s tone was cold. “But if it’s me, I’ll give you ten times the money.”
“Didn’t Grandpa give me a few bodyguards as well? That’s a lot of money.”
“You poured him tea, poured him water, helped him massage, and kept saying good things about him. Of course, he had to give you something good.” Gu Shen remembered everything clearly. He had never enjoyed the services Yan Xi provided for Gu Hai.
“Huh?” Yan Xi sent Gu Hai am
age to thank him. She put away her phone and looked at Gu She
“Are you unhappy?”
She carefully looked at Gu Shen. “Are you jealous
Gu Shen did not speak.
“Are you really jealous?” Yan Xi moved closer to Gu Shen and blinked at him. “Why are you even jealous of Grandpa? I’m treating Grandpa like this because | want you to leave a better impression on him. If you want to hear me say good things about you, I can go on for the whole night.”
Gu Shen lowered his eyes and met Yan Xi’s gaze. “Really? Go ahead, I’m all ears.”.
