After kissing Helian Niancheng, Gu Qingjiu smiled at him, then arched over lazily and fell into Helian Niancheng’s embrace.
“When are we reaching, Chief Instructor?”
It was a great distance away from the airport to the Helian home, and it had been more than an hour since they set off.
Yet, it didn’t seem like they were reaching.
“Soon.”
He said gently and slightly lowered his head and kissed Gu Qingjiu’s forehead, then caressed her hair. “We’ll be reaching soon. But are you prepared to meet my parents?”
Sensing his gentle actions, Gu Qingjiu squirmed into his arms and replied in a soft voice, “I’ll have to meet them sooner or later.”
So regardless of whether she was prepared, it was already here.
Although he had never explicitly expressed his fondness or love, Gu Qingjiu could always sense how good this man treated her in every aspect.
Hence, Gu Qingjiu never worried about Helian Niancheng’s feelings towards her.
Or else she wouldn’t have gone with Helian Niancheng so readily.
One could sense if a person treated her well or not.
It was unless that person was deceiving oneself.
Lying in Helian Niancheng’s arms, Gu Qingjiu very quickly started to feel drowsy.
But just as she was about to doze off, someone gently rapped her on her head. “We’ve reached.”
Gu Qingjiu instantly looked up, her neck feeling a tad sore, having maintained that same posture for some time.
Rubbing her sore neck, she sat upright and looked outside.
She was stunned by what she saw.
Gu Qingjiu had seen plenty of TV drama, but she never expected that reality was often more exaggerated than TV dramas.
What entered her sights was a private pathway, and looking straight ahead, she saw an ancient castle that one would only get to see during the mid-century.
Moreover, the area was so massive that one couldn’t see the ends of it.
Right in the middle was a straight green belt.
It was not a few hundred meters wide, but a thousand meters.
On both sides were huge potted plants and oddly-shaped manicured plants.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t know how to appreciate it, writing it off as something that rich people probably entertained themselves with.
Most importantly, the townsfolk hadn’t seen much of the world. They hadn’t recovered from the shock of the castle.
“You haven’t seen it before, right?”
Huo Yingcheng immediately broke the awkward atmosphere.
But Gu Qingjiu didn’t think much of it. “I haven’t.”
It completely exceeded Gu Qingjiu’s imagination.
“You’ll get used to it.”
Huo Yingcheng chuckled.
In the car, Gu Qingjiu saw rows of servants standing in front of the castle gate from a distance.
A row of men on the left and women on the right.
To be honest, Gu Qingjiu was a little stunned to see this.
It felt…
It really looked like a fantasy.
The car had already reached the entrance of the castle and the convoy of cars stopped.
Helian Niancheng held Gu Qingjiu’s hand and helped her out of the car.
In an instant, everyone’s attention was on them.
Then, just like in TV shows, they all bowed slightly and said respectfully in English, “Welcome back, Your Highness.”
Welcome back, Your Highness…
Gu Qingjiu blinked. For a moment, she almost thought that she was in some ancient society from the last century.
Otherwise, it was just some hallucination.
However, the feeling in her palm told her that it was not an illusion. It had really happened right before her eyes!
Helian Niancheng was really from the royal family.
