Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 342 - 343: Time to Take Responsibility for the Little Thing

Tong Keke never expected her uncle to say something so heartwarming. She shyly turned around, but deep inside, she was so happy she felt like she was floating.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Qianxi saw her suddenly turn away and thought his words might have startled her. He immediately spoke with concern, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Nothing..." Tong Keke replied softly. Then, she turned back and threw herself into Gu Qianxi’s arms once more. "Hold me again, kiss me again, okay? I barely even felt anything before you stopped."

Gu Qianxi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, but soon, he felt the little figure in his arms pressing her sweet lips against his. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Like a puppy, she clumsily nuzzled against his thin lips twice. "Gu Qianxi..."

Seeing his lack of response, she couldn’t help calling his name with a playful grievance.

When she called him like that, Gu Qianxi felt his whole body go weak. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly—this little one would probably have him wrapped around her finger for life.

Gu Qianxi had no choice but to lower his head so she wouldn’t have to strain her neck so much—it looked uncomfortable.

"Come over here..." Tong Keke suddenly grabbed his large hand and pulled him down to sit on the couch.

Gu Qianxi’s heart raced uncontrollably. As soon as he sat down, he felt her soft, heated little body snuggling into his embrace again.

"Gu Qianxi... Qianxi... From now on, I’ll call you that, okay?" Tong Keke asked with a sweet smile.

"Sure, call me whatever you want." His voice was husky with affection. His large hand naturally landed on her little head, smoothing down her silky black hair as his hand slid to her waist.

"Keke, have you thought it through? Do you really want to be my girlfriend?" Gu Qianxi still felt as if this were an unexpected, beautiful dream—it felt unreal.

Perhaps it was because the house was dark, with no lights on, that the atmosphere emboldened him and made his desires grow reckless.

Tong Keke’s small hands caressed his handsome face, nodding repeatedly. "Of course, I’ve thought it through. I want to be with you for my entire life, forever, never apart."

"Take some more time to think about it. What kind of feelings do you have for me? Is this some kind of father-complex, or do you see me as the man you love? I don’t want you to regret it—nor do I want you to be hurt." Gu Qianxi gradually regained his composure; this was the time for him to be rational.

The frenzy from before left him without the courage to try again—he felt like he might’ve crossed some unforgivable line.

"Can you stop treating me like a child? I don’t even have a father, so where would any father-complex come from? In my eyes, you’re the most amazing, outstanding man. I’ve always seen you as a man, not anything else." Tong Keke replied with resolute seriousness.

"Really? I just don’t understand why you like me. I’m almost eight years older than you." Gu Qianxi couldn’t help worrying—age was an unchangeable fact, an invisible barrier. He was genuinely afraid Keke would eventually find him too old.

Tong Keke giggled like a little fool in his arms, "I don’t think you’re old. You didn’t think I was too young, did you?"

"Keke, you should find a boyfriend your age..."

Before Gu Qianxi could finish, her lips quickly pressed against his, silencing him immediately.

Gu Qianxi trembled all over, stunned by the little one’s bold kiss, which was followed by her indignant words: "Don’t say things like that again, or I’ll get mad."

Looking at her youthful, childish demeanor, Gu Qianxi sighed softly. "Alright, I won’t say it anymore. It’s late; I should go. Focus on finishing your classes for the last month, and make sure your grades aren’t poor this time, okay?"

"Got it! As long as I know you’re willing to love me and accept me, I promise I’ll give you grades you’ll be satisfied with," Tong Keke replied with a bright, mischievous smile.
