In truth, Wang Miao had not gone far. Her sobs could be heard from within the study.

Gu Zhou’s expression turned ugly. He frowned in displeasure, a wave of irritation washing over him.

Gu Zhou’s gaze fell on the snake and he said impatiently, “Well, hurry up! Aren’t you going to lock it up in the punishment room?”

Hearing this, the butler picked up the cage and prepared to leave the room.

“Wait a minute.” Qiao Nian stepped closer to the cage and looked at the snake, which was curled up in an aggrieved ball. “Actually, it didn’t do anything wrong. It was just guarding your study.”

Gu Zhou looked at Qiao Nian with a complicated expression. His gaze fell on Qiao Nian’s injured arm and he said very seriously, “But it bit you.”

The man’s voice was as deep as ever. There was no emotion in his voice.

Qiao Nian glanced at the bite mark on her arm and said, “The wound on my arm isn’t too bad. Once the bleeding has stopped, I’ll apply some medicine, then I’ll be perfectly fine. We can’t punish it just because of an outsider’s mistake!”

Gu Zhou gazed intently at Qiao Nian, his eyebrow slightly raised. “So Mrs. Gu thinks that I’m not an outsider? Am I a part of the family?”

Qiao Nian was speechless.

Qiao Nian had not expected Gu Zhou to joke around with her. However, hearing Gu Zhou call her Mrs. Gu caught her off guard, and she was momentarily flustered.

The butler, who was standing at the side, had never expected such flirtatious words to fall from Gu Zhou’s lips.

At this moment, the butler felt like the biggest third wheel in existence. It was no longer suitable for him to remain, so he quietly left the room.

Qiao Nian gazed unblinkingly at Gu Zhou. She met his dark, glittering eyes and pursed her lips, her throat working slightly. “I’m talking about the snake and Wang Miao. This snake is closest to you.”

Gu Zhou stared unblinkingly back at Qiao Nian. His gaze fell on her fair and slender neck, and he noticed the movement of her throat. Her cheeks were just a little flushed, and the tips of her ears were also tinted red. For some reason, she gave off an air of delicacy.

Gu Zhou’s mouth was a little dry, but he quickly recovered his usual impassiveness. His thin lips parted slightly. “As long as it doesn’t hurt you anymore, I’ll let it off the hook.”

Qiao Nian smiled and looked down at the snake in the cage. The snake was looking at her too.

Although the snake had bitten her, she felt that it was the victim this time round.

If the snake had bitten her like it did the last time, she would have boiled the snake alive for its medicinal properties.

Most importantly, Qiao Nian could tell that Gu Zhou cared about the snake a lot.

At the thought, Qiao Nian opened the cage and reached in.

Gu Zhou’s usually serene eyes instantly narrowed. He looked at Qiao Nian in disbelief, his heart involuntarily rising to his throat. “Qiao Nian, what are you doing?”

The snake kept flicking out its tongue, staring unblinkingly at Qiao Nian’s arm.

In truth, Qiao Nian was also very nervous. Her gaze fell on the snake’s teeth, which were exposed from time to time. With extreme effort, she put on a calm facade.

‘The temperature in the room dropped.

Qiao Nian placed her hand carefully on the snake’s head, caressing it over and over again, as if she were soothing its injured feelings.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Nian’s touch was very gentle. The snake didn’t seem to sense any aggression. Instead, it lay obediently on the bottom of the cage, letting Qiao Nian stroke it.

Gu Zhou looked at this scene in disbelief. He didn’t expect this snake to turn into an obedient and cute kitten under Qiao Nian’s touch.

‘When Qiao Nian retracted her hand, the snake wound itself around her wrist happily.

Qiao Nian couldn’t help but smile. She looked up at Gu Zhou and said proudly, “Look, it won’t hurt me anymore, so you don’t have to lock it up anymore.”

Seeing Qiao Nian’s proud expression, the ice in Gu Zhou’s heart seemed to melt.

Qiao Nian’s smile now was probably the most natural smile she had worn since she arrived at the Gu residence. She looked like an innocent child.

“From now on, it’s yours.”

“Really?” Qiao Nian was slightly stunned. She looked at Gu Zhou in confusion.

Gu Zhou found himself speechless.

‘What was he saying?

‘Was there something wrong with his brain?

Other than his grandmother, this snake was the only female who was close to him..

Five years ago, Qiao Nian was schemed against by her sister, Qiao Xin. After spending a night with a stranger, Qiao Nian got pregnant. She did not know who the father of the child was, and eventually gave birth to a stillborn. Under the machinations of her mother and sister, Qiao Nian was stripped off of her shares in Qiao Group and sent to a mental hospital.

Five years later, her younger sister, Qiao Xin, was going to be married off to the Second Young Master of the Gu family. He was rumored to be extremely ugly. On the day he was born, the doctor predicted that he would not live past twenty years old. Her mother could not bear to see Qiao Xin marry such a person and thought of Qiao Nian, who was still locked in the mental hospital. Overnight, Qiao Nian was taken out of the hospital to replace Qiao Xin in her marriage into the Gu family.

Her mother said, "It's a good thing that Qiao Nian, this good-for-nothing, can replace Xin'er to be a living widow in the Gu family. If Xin'er were to marry into that family, I would be heartbroken."

Qiao Xin said, "Mom, don't say that about Sister. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what to do. I'm just worried that Sister wouldn't agree."

Her father said, "Xin'er, you're too kind. Have you forgotten how Qiao Nian slandered you five years ago? She has no self-restraint. She got pregnant before marriage and even gave birth to a stillborn child. We're treating her well enough by letting her marry someone from the prestigious Gu family! What right does she have to be picky?"

Qiao Nian sneered. Back then, the scheme against her had only succeeded due to a freak combination of factors, causing her to suffer. She was going to get back at all of them! Everyone thought that her actions were borne from a combination of a loser's mentality and mental illness, but little did they know that this marriage would be a strong union as impactful as Mars crashing into Earth! Taking advantage of her brilliant skills in medicine, Qian Nian made various trashy people and scumbags eat their words. In the blink of an eye, her multiple identities shocked the world as each of them got exposed. It turned out that she was rich enough to rival a country!

Later on, Second Young Master Gu placed a pair of Qiao Nian's miniature clones in front of her. Faced with these two children who resembled her and Gu Zhou, Qiao Nian blinked in shock. "When did I give birth to your children?"
