My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 764: Sudden Change in Expression_1

The Old Madam Jun’s worried look eased a bit.

She was truly afraid that they would start fighting in public, Ye Lu was a major issue that caused discord between the brothers, all she wanted was to resolve this issue and for them to get along.

"Old Madam, we’ll take our leave first," said Ye Lu. She did not want to face Gu Yan. After all the history they had, the present situation was awkward.

Old Madam Jun understood her predicament, and nodded. She advised her to take good care of her pregnancy.

However, Gu Yan suddenly addressed Ye Lu, "This celebration is for you, and the child in your womb is my niece or nephew. As an uncle, I cannot not give a present."

Ye Lu was stunned. His calm tone and pleasant demeanor made her feel something eerie was going on.

The relatives widened their eyes. Ye Lu was his ex-fiancée, and now their relationship had turned into that of in-laws. It was hard to discern what Gu Yan’s feelings towards Ye Lu were.

Gu Yan took out a delicate box and handed it to her. "Open it and see if you like it."

When Ye Lu opened the box, she found a simple yet exquisite platinum necklace. It didn’t seem special, at least the guests considered this gift normal and were a bit disappointed, they thought Gu Yan might cause a scene.

Yet when Ye Lu saw the necklace, her face changed dramatically, her breathing turned ragged, and her fingertips trembled.

"Come, let’s embrace, my sister-in-law."

Gu Yan hugged Ye Lu while provocatively glancing at ThirdYoung Master Jun. He softly whispered something into Ye Lu’s ear, causing her to stiffen and her complexion to turn paler.

ThirdYoung Master Jun’s fists clenched in silence. As soon as Gu Yan released Ye Lu, he wrapped his arms around her waist, "I’ll thank you on behalf of my son then."

A sharp pain pierced through Gu Yan’s heart.

Yet Jun Shi, looking at Ye Lu, voiced his concern. "This is our Jun Family’s fourth-generation’s most important heir, I think you should move back to the old mansion. After all, Jun Huang is busy and it’s hard for him to take care of you. All of us in the Jun family together will be good for our mother’s mood."

"I can take care of her." ThirdYoung Master Jun immediately refused.

"No, I’ll move over."

Ye Lu initially wanted to refuse, but considering that ThirdYoung Master Jun’s villa was filled with his people, and surveillance was tight, she basically had no chance of escape. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, the Jun Family, with its many members, offered more opportunities. At least here, ThirdYoung Master Jun couldn’t fully control her, couldn’t force her into anything, and with Old Madam around, she could take care of herself.

When the child was born, and everyone was off guard thinking all was settled, that would certainly be her best chance to escape with the child.

"Ye Lu--" ThirdYoung Master Jun’s complexion darkened, his tone turned cold.

Jun Shi laughed, "If you’re worried she wouldn’t be taken care of properly by your grandma, you can also move back."

How could ThirdYoung Master Jun say Old Madam Jun was not taking good care, he could only endure.

But he knew this father of his would certainly not care so much about his child, he must have had ulterior motives. However, with the grandmother around, he wouldn’t dare do anything to Ye Lu.

"Grandma, I also want to live in the Jun Family mansion for a while and keep you company," said Gu Yan.

ThirdYoung Master Jun’s brows furrowed even more.

...

After leaving the Jun Family mansion, both ThirdYoung Master Jun’s and Ye Lu’s expressions were not good.

As soon as they got in the car, ThirdYoung Master Jun turned Ye Lu around, and couldn’t help asking, "What did he whisper in your ear just now?"

The provocative look on Gu Yan’s face made him sense that something was unusual, and the transformation in Ye Lu’s face after hearing Gu Yan’s words doubly confirmed his suspicions.
