Gu Yilin’s temperament was the best among all the descendants of the aristocratic families. He was clean, warm, and pure. He had retreated from the fierce and murderous atmosphere of the shopping mall. He was gentle and harmless. He had the aura of a little puppy, which made women’s hearts beat faster, they couldn’t help but be fascinated and deeply immersed in him.
When Xuan Yingluo looked over, Gu Yilin raised his eyes and looked at her with his deep and narrow eyes.
Their eyes met and Xuan Yingluo averted her gaze. “Mother, Aunt Mo’er, we’ll talk about this later. I’ll go upstairs and wash my face first.”
“Okay, go quickly.”
Xuan Yingluo went upstairs.
Seeing Xuan Yingluo’s slender figure disappear from his sight, Gu Yilin spread his long legs and followed her upstairs under the gaze of his parents.
..
Xuan Yingluo entered her room. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xuan Yingluo said, “Come in.”
The door was pushed open and Gu Yilin walked in.
Xuan Yingluo didn’t want Gu Yilin to see her miserable state. She smiled faintly. “Yilin, didn’t you have a plane to catch? Why Are You Back?”
Gu Yilin came to Xuan Yingluo’s side and said in a low voice, “I’m not going.”
He wasn’t going.
“Yilin, I’ll think of a way to resolve Zhou Yu’s matter. You Don’t have to worry about me. It’s still the Chinese New Year, and you’re not with the girl you like on Your Reunion Night. If you don’t go now, all the girls will be unhappy.”
“Yingluo, did you get into trouble in the North because of me? I asked you to look into Sihan’s matter.”
Xuan Yingluo’s fan-like feather jie trembled. Then, she turned around and poured herself a cup of hot water. Actually, she could have escaped safely with the talisman that day in the north, but she had been delayed for a while because of Sister Sihan’s matter, it was only in that short while that Zhou Yu had arrived that the subsequent events had begun.
“No.”Xuan Yingluo denied it. The warm cup transmitted warmth to her cold little hand as she said in a clear and beautiful voice, “Yilin, this matter has nothing to do with you. This is between Zhou Yu and me. Each of us, you, Sister Xiyao, Sister Sihan, and me, are not free. We all have our own family’s honor and mission. This time, I went to the northern lands and cheated Zhou Yu of his trust, exposing my true identity. The two of us have always been on opposite sides, so you don’t have to blame yourself. This is my battlefield.”
Gu Yilin looked at Xuan Yingluo’s bright eyes and nodded.
..
The next day, the news of Xuan Yingluo’s pregnancy exploded. The news of the Xuan family’s eldest daughter getting pregnant out of wedlock quickly made the headlines of the entertainment industry. All the public opinions were discussing who the father of this child was.
Xuan Yingluo had just been appointed as the Minister of State. Now that she was involved in the scandal of being pregnant out of wedlock, the public relations department promptly launched a public relations crisis. However, it was useless. The public opinion was spreading like a clamor.
Xiao Ai’s expression was solemn, “Minister, I’ve checked. The news of you being pregnant before marriage was spread on purpose. We’ve carried out public relations, but there’s a powerful hidden force controlling the direction of public opinion. It’s bound to push you to the cusp of the storm.”
Xuan Yingluo had already guessed that the powerful force behind this was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu pushed her to the edge of the storm, wanting to know who the child in her stomach was.
“I got it.”
Xuan Yingluo brought Xiao Ai out, but the entrance was already surrounded by a dense crowd of reporters. Seeing her come out, the media spotlight fell to the ground with a “Kacha Kacha”sound. Everyone handed over microphones as if they had been injected with stimulants, “Minister Xuan, is the news of you being pregnant out of wedlock true?”
“Minister Xuan, as far as we know, you haven’t even had a public relationship yet. May I know who the father of the child is?”
The security guards pulled the cordon, not allowing the reporters to get close. However, the heat was too high, and they might lose control in the next second.
“Sorry, our minister doesn’t answer such questions. Please be careful and leave as soon as possible,”Xiao Ai said.
Xuan Yingluo furrowed her brows. At this moment, she felt a gaze fall on her. She looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure standing at the carved railing on the second floor. It was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu had arrived.
Today, Zhou Yu was still dressed in black. He was hidden in a dimly lit area. A pair of eagle-like ink eyes looked at her. When he saw her gaze fall on him, he curled his thin lips in a devilish manner and watched the show lazily.
Xuan Yingluo pursed her bright red lips.
At this moment, a cry of surprise rang in her ears, “Look, president Gu is here!”
Xuan Yingluo quickly turned around and saw a rolls-royce phantom speeding over. It was Gu Yilin.
The crowd automatically made a path for him. Gu Yilin strolled over from the red carpet and came to Xuan Yingluo’s side. He reached out and hugged Xuan Yingluo’s slender waist. “Yingluo, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Gu Yilin left with Xuan Yingluo.
Oh My God!
The crowd gasped and quickly captured the scene of Gu Yilin holding Xuan Yingluo in his arms. “So the child in Minister Xuan’s belly is President Gu’s!”
“The GU and Xuan families are family friends. President Gu and Minister Xuan have been childhood sweethearts. The two of them are unmarried, and at first glance, they look like a perfect couple. The child in Minister Xuan’s belly is the young crown prince of the Gu family.”
“Now that Minister Xuan’s belly is big and the public opinion is fermenting like this, it seems that President Gu and Minister Xuan’s wedding date is approaching!”
The audience was in an uproar. Zhou Yu, who was upstairs, was expressionless. At this moment, second brother walked over, handed over a photo and reported in a low voice, “Boss, Young Master Fu sent a message. This woman is called Xia Xiaodie. She has been kept by Gu Yilin in his Golden House.”
“If it wasn’t for young master Fu, we wouldn’t have been able to find out about Xia Xiaodie’s existence. Gu Yilin has protected Xia Xiaodie too well.”
Zhou Yu looked down at the photo in his second brother’s hands. In the photo, Xia Xiaodie was wearing a blue dress with a few books in her arms. The Breeze blew her silky black hair. She looked up at the setting sun at night, her side profile was beautiful and clear, making one’s heart beat faster.
Xuan Yue Luo and Xia Xiaodie were two different types of women. Xuan Yue Luo was beautiful and shimmering, while Xia Xiaodie was the peace and beauty of time.
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and used his rough fingertips to hook Xia Xiaodie’s beautiful side profile. He raised his straight eyebrows slightly. “It’s said that Gu Yilin has always had high standards in picking women. Now that I’ve seen it, he really lives up to his reputation.”
As he said that, Zhou Yu looked at his second brother and said, “Do you know what to do?”
His second brother said, “New love, Old Love. Let’s see which one Gu Yilin likes more.”
Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction. His second brother went to do some work.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone sounded. It was a call from Zhou Yu.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Fu Shu.
Zhou Yu answered the call. “Hello, Young Master Fu.”
Soon, Fu Shu’s cold and indifferent voice was transmitted over. “This is the last time. I’ll return it to you.”
