28 -28 I promised your brother to take good care of you; Gu Chengan is looking for a beating
With a lift of her eyes, Tang Yun saw Gu Zhiqi staring blankly at the embroidery in her own hands.
Tang Yun’s movements paused slightly, and her eyes flickered, “Did you hear what I just said?”
Gu Zhiqi snapped back to reality, “Ah, yes.”
Her tone was as perfunctory as ever.
Tang Yun knew immediately that she hadn’t been listening.
Having lived with her for a few days, Tang Yun had grown accustomed to Gu Zhiqi’s indifferent demeanor.

While tidying up the things at hand, she said to Gu Zhiqi, “I’ll go heat up some food for you; you should go upstairs and change your clothes.”
Tang Yun’s words made Gu Zhiqi feel somewhat uneasy, “I can heat it up myself.”
Tang Yun listened to her reply, looked up at her with visibly suspicious eyes.
It was as if she had the words “Can you?” written in her gaze.
Gu Zhiqi “…”
“Don’t feel embarrassed.
Since I promised your elder brother that I would take good care of you, I won’t consider it a bother,” Tang Yun said as she got up and went inside the house.
Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Gu Zhiqi’s clean and fresh appearance, and her gaze lingered for a moment.
She had not paid attention to whether Gu Zhiqi’s clothes had gotten wet.
She had simply assumed that Gu Zhiqi’s clothes were soaked, which was why she suggested she change.
But now, seeing her completely dry, Tang Yun was taken aback.
“Elder brother?”
Wasn’t Gu Bo’s eldest son Gu Chengan?
Or was it…
someone from the Gu Family’s side?
When Tang Yun heard Gu Zhiqi’s softly asked question, she realized she had let something slip.
A flicker of uneasiness crossed the depths of her eyes.
Without saying much more, she placed the embroidery on the living room table and then quickly stepped into the kitchen.
No longer dwelling on why Gu Zhiqi was not even slightly damp, she moved on.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi went upstairs with a basket, puzzled.
As she just reached the top of the stairs, the door of the room near the staircase opened, and Gu Chengan emerged from inside.
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, Gu Chengan paused in his steps.
The smile that was on his lips instantly fell.
Gu Zhiqi glanced at him indifferently and then averted her gaze, continuing towards her own room.
Gu Chengan initially decided not to concern himself with Gu Zhiqi, but when his eyes caught the sight of pink flowers in her basket, his expression changed.
“Gu Zhiqi!” Gu Chengan raised his voice sharply, calling out her name.
Gu Zhiqi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
“Where did you get those flowers from?” There was clear fury in Gu Chengan’s eyes, and his tone was full of accusation.
Knowing what he was thinking, Gu Zhiqi was not inclined to entertain him.
But to avoid further hassle, she uncharacteristically explained, “Picked them from the mountain.”
“Ha, picked them from the mountain?” Gu Chengan sneered, “I wasn’t aware that Crushed Ice Rain Mist existed on the mountain.” After speaking, he strode toward Gu Zhiqi with the intention of grabbing the pink flowers from the basket.
Gu Zhiqi, with her quick reflexes, sidestepped while holding the basket.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of impatience painted across her brow, she coldly addressed Gu Chengan, “Your ignorance only proves your limited experience.”
“You…
don’t change the subject, give me the flowers,” Gu Chengan, unable to outtalk Gu Zhiqi, resorted to trying to forcefully take them.
Gu Zhiqi, having run out of patience, let go of the basket, and it swiftly descended.
Gu Chengan’s pupils constricted as he reached out to catch the falling basket.
Gu Zhiqi was quicker.
The basket landed steadily on the tip of her foot, and with a graceful arc through the air created by her foot, it was kicked to a spot not too far away.
As Gu Chengan followed the basket with his eyes, trying to see where it would land, a sharp pain suddenly erupted in his stomach.
Then, a perceivable force spread from his stomach, radiating outward until it exploded against his back.
Gu Chengan clutched his stomach, letting out a pained groan.
