Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

But seeing how excited Luo Xixi was, Mu Feng simply couldn’t help himself and thought more about it.

Could it be that Gu Yan really had feelings for him?

Speaking of which, the relationship between the Mu Family and Gu Yan’s family wasn’t shallow either; they were practically relatives, because Gu Yan’s maternal grandmother, Lin Ranyue, had remarried to Mu Lei from the Mu Family.

It was only because of the stubbornness of the family elders that Mu Lei was forced to change his surname, but the fact that he was a member of the Mu Family was unalterable.

They were relatives again, but Mu Feng and Gu Yan didn’t share any blood relation... Mu Feng’s heart suddenly started racing!

Perhaps, there really was a possibility!

Not to mention their family backgrounds, in fact, Gu Yan was far superior to Luo Xixi! She was prettier, smarter, and apart from having a weak body just like a pure human, Gu Yan hardly had any flaws at all!

Although the forum post incident had been resolved, Su Wan still found out about her daughter ’beating up’ someone at school.

To be honest, when Vermilion Bird first relayed this news to her, and she watched the video Vermilion Bird sent over, she was somewhat relieved.

"I’ve always been worried that Xiaoyan is too nice; we all dote on her too much, and she must be very delicate and naive. Now it seems that my daughter still has her own little temper."

It’s better for a girl to have a bit of her own temper.

If she’s too nice, she’s too likely to be bullied, and as a family, we can’t protect her round the clock without fail.

As for hitting and bullying someone for no reason?

That’s simply impossible.

Su Wan understood her daughter well; she must have had a reason for her actions.

So she was quite calm and sent a message to her daughter to come home and talk after her classes ended for the day.

When Gu Jue heard about this incident, his first reaction was, "Did Xiaoyan suffer any loss?"

White Tiger: "No, no, Miss Xiaoyan is fine, but that young Luo girl’s face was swollen from Miss Xiaoyan’s slaps."

When saying the second half of the sentence, White Tiger’s tone was full of pride!

Their Miss Xiaoyan wasn’t someone who could be bullied.

Gu Jue didn’t care anymore. What did it matter to him if another family’s girl had a swollen face? He was quite the protective father, utterly unreasonable.

When it came to his daughter, he always took her side over what was right.

As for Gu Chen’s reaction, it was similar to his real dad’s, but he asked an extra question, "Is it that Luo girl?"

"Luo Xixi."

"The sister of Luo Qi?"

"Yes."

A cold light flashed through Gu Chen’s eyes. What a coincidence, he had just rejected Luo Qi, and now her sister was causing trouble for his Xiaoyan?

The young and handsome emperor, sitting on a black leather sofa, asked, "What was the cause of their argument?"

The secretary: "It was a quarrel between the young girls."

Gu Chen looked up, appearing very young, yet the pressure he exerted was immense.

The secretary’s legs were a bit shaky, and he immediately replied, "This subordinate will go investigate right away."

To find out what the argument was about wasn’t difficult, but the previous leader of the secretarial officials was Luo Ji, who also belonged to the Luo Family.

The Luo Family and the Gu Family were also related by marriage, so if this matter blew up and someone later claimed it was his instigation behind the young emperor’s back... That’s why he wanted to minimize the situation and let it blow over.

However, it was clear that smoothing things over wouldn’t be so easy with His Majesty, so the secretarial official seriously set about investigating what exactly had happened. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As for Gu Yu on this side, seeing the post deleted, he felt a moment of relief and said very certainly to his sister, Gu Yan, "If anyone troubles you again in the future, you can count on your big brother to back you up. If I can’t make it in time, you must be like today, you can’t go easy on them!"

"Mm, I know. I don’t know why Luo Xixi always opposes me, and the things she said this time were even more baffling. I didn’t even know her fiancé before. By the way, big brother, what’s the deal with Luo Xixi saying that our eldest brother turned down her sister?"

"Hasn’t our eldest brother been troubled by forced marriage proposals recently? Perhaps, Luo Xixi’s sister was one of the candidates?"

Gu Yan instantly understood.

Seeing that the matter had resolved, Gu Yu went back to class, and when Gu Chen’s call came through, Gu Yan immediately picked it up.

"Xiaoyan, I’m sorry."

When Gu Yan heard her brother’s apology, she blinked in surprise, then quickly said, "Are you talking about the Luo Xixi incident?"

"The Luo Family wanted me to marry Luo Qi, but I refused."

"Oh, no wonder Luo Xixi said those things. Looks like she was venting for her sister? But she seems to have really misunderstood the issue between me and her fiancé."

Gu Chen frowned, "Luo Xixi’s fiancé, that Mu Feng?"

Gu Yan: "It really is a misunderstanding. I never had a conversation with that Mu Feng before, and this time we just bumped into each other at school and exchanged greetings, then Luo Xixi blew things out of proportion."

"I will handle the Luo Qi matter on my side. Next time, if anyone bullies you like that, you should fight back just the same. It doesn’t matter who it is. If anything happens, me, dad, and mom can all cover for you."

Gu Yan thought seriously and said, "But this kind of unlimited spoiling from you will spoil me."

A smile appeared on Gu Chen’s face. He knew his family always treated him well, and moreover, he was always a person who didn’t cause trouble. This time it was mainly because Luo Xixi was too excessive.

After concluding the conversation with his sister, Gu Chen directly dialed the Luo Family head’s communication. When the latter saw it was Gu Chen, he was shocked and immediately picked up.

"Your Majesty, do you need something?"

"I refused Luo Qi because I simply don’t like her, and also, she does not have the qualifications to hold the position of Empress."

These words were quite discourteous, and the face of the Luo Family head changed. He said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, you really don’t have to be like...this..."

"Don’t you know about the incident where Luo Xixi bullied my sister Gu Yan at school today?"

The head of the Luo Family was completely stunned. "Ah, there was such a thing? My apologies, Your Majesty, I was not aware of this."

Gu Chen said coldly, "Now you know."

The head of the Luo Family even shook subconsciously. To be honest, this young emperor was actually more fearsome than Gu Zilan had been.

Aside from Gu Chen’s high Beast Transformation Level and Superpower level, his temper was also unpredictable.

Even through the virtual screen, the Luo Family head felt the oppressive force of that high level, utterly crushing him.

He almost knelt down!

The Luo Family head hurriedly said, "Yes, I will deal with this at once. Please don’t be angry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Gu Chen had already disconnected the call.

Immediately after, the Luo Family head called over Luo Qi and Luo Xixi’s father, Luo Jie.

The old head of the family said angrily, "We had an extremely good relationship with the Gu Family, and after comprehensive consideration, we thought Luo Qi was the most suitable. Yet, you created this mess for me? At first, His Majesty’s refusal wasn’t stated so plainly, but this time, His Majesty directly said Luo Qi was unworthy! By saying this, he is directly stating that our Luo Family is unworthy of the Empress’s throne!"
