Chapter 27: No One Has Ever Dared to Provoke Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Downstairs, the couple was leaving.
Mother and Father Ming were getting up to send them off. Only Ming Lai remained sitting quietly on the sofa, showing no intention of getting up.
Ming Qu stood still, quietly observing.
Ever since she had returned, Ming Zhicheng had never bothered with introducing her to the elders of the family. She hadn’t even known who this couple was. Moreover, from the moment that she had come home, that man had never said a word.
It was fine if Ming Zhicheng didn’t take her seriously, but this couple seemed strange.
Aunt?
Ming Lai had called that woman aunt. It seemed that they were an aunt and uncle from a side branch of the Ming family.
Anyway, there was no need to get to know a side branch.
Ming Qu comforted herself as she turned around to go back to her room.
That night, she looked up the unfamiliar number that called her at the hospital. It turned out to be from the Tongcheng cultural center.
So, this person who opposed Ming Zhicheng was also a fan of cultural arts.
Of course, she could only assume. In order to find out the truth, she would have to make a trip personally.
However, Ming Qu was not in a hurry. She was confident that this person would call her again. Sure enough, on an afternoon a week later, the call came.
At that time, Ming Qu had been rushing to the airport to pick up Gu Yuzhen.
Sitting in the back seat, she noticed as her phone rang. She hesitated before swiping to answer. Just as she put it to her ear, she heard the same male voice from before. “Little girl, are you really going to sit around and wait for death?”
“Who are you?!”
Ming Qu suddenly stiffened, and her nerves tensed up.
She was being watched!
She was terrified at the thought.
“You don’t have to bother about who I am, just know that I’m doing this for your own good, Ming Qu!”
He hung up following his direct statement.
Ming Qu was absent-minded as she slowly put down her phone, her gaze fixated on a spot.
Who was it?!
The car had just arrived at the airport terminal when she saw Gu Yuzhen walking out with Ah Jiang from afar.
Ming Qu immediately snapped back to her senses. She rolled down the window, waving at him.
“Ah Zhen, this way.”
The man looked over with a smile on his clearly defined face.
As he approached, she got out of the car to give him a big hug.
Her gaze unexpectedly landed on Ah Jiang, and she turned away in embarrassment.
Ming Qu pursed her lips before getting up from Gu Yuzhen’s arms, and pulled him into the car.
She had urgent business to attend to and needed to return home immediately.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Yuzhen, noticing that she seemed a little off, turned his head and asked with concern.
Ming Qu did not want him to know for the time being, so she forced her lips shut, shaking her head.
From her behavior, Gu Yuzhen could feel even more strongly that she was hiding something from him.
Despite there being others with them, he raised a hand to grab her shoulders as he pressed her entire body against his, whispering into her ear. “What’s the matter?”
Ming Qu shivered and cast a glance at the person in front of them, who seemed to have turned a deaf ear.
However, Gu Yuzhen was more cautious. He raised a hand to pull down the windshield in the middle, cutting off the line of sight between the front and back.
Ming Qu was puzzled and she turned her head, only to be kissed by him.
In an instant, her small face turned beet red and she grew extremely shy.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?”
He kissed her on her lips and eyebrows before reluctantly letting her go.
“Yes.”
There was clearly something on her mind. Even as she tried her best to act casual, he was still able to see through her with a glance.
Gu Yuzhen’s eyes were cold as he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
If she did not want to say anything, he would not ask for the time being.
Along the way, no one else spoke, making the atmosphere feel especially awkward.
“I won’t be able to eat with you later. I have to deal with some other matters.”
The car turned into the city. Gu Yuzhen, who had been silent for a while, raised his hand to pat her head.
Ming Qu didn’t respond, but only nodded.
He got off at his villa and asked the driver to send Ming Qu back to the Ming family.
Watching as the car pulled away, Ah Jiang took a step forward and asked curiously, “Sir, why did you let Miss Ming go back?”
Gu Yuzhen retracted his own gaze as he strode into the courtyard.
“Give her her own space. She needs her freedom.”
A short sentence that Ah Jiang seemed to understand, but not fully.
He entered the living room before going up to the second floor.
In the cloakroom, Gu Yuzhen changed into a comfortable home outfit. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a row of all-seasons women’s clothes hanging on the wall. A complicated emotion flashed between his cold eyes.
He had gotten her, but she had not been willing.
The memory of that night was still fresh in his mind.
However, when he thought about how everything had only happened because of Ming Lai, he clenched his fists in hatred.
No one had ever dared to provoke Gu Yuzhen!
