Chapter 90 Godmother: Go to Hell!! What Little Lover??
"Oh my goodness, I never expected, never expected, Eighth Brother is actually skilled in so many instruments. Even seeing it with my own eyes, I can't believe it~"
In the business car on the way home, Murong Yan sighed with emotion. One performance had added three more points to her love for Gu Yunfan.
Jiang Ruoxi was a bit dazed, still immersed in Gu Yunfan's performance. Eldest Sister drove herself and didn't come with them.
Jiang Yujun looked sideways at her Godson, her eyes full of disbelief: "Again... learned since childhood?"
"Yeah~, Godmother, did I perform okay?"
"It's more than just okay..."
Jiang Yujun couldn't suppress her inner excitement. She suddenly cupped Gu Yunfan's face and kissed his forehead seven times in a row, "Mua Mua Mua," repeating the classic line: "Godmother loves you to death!!!"
[interaction value +68]
Eh... your reaction time is a bit long... "Little Ancestor! Tell me the truth! How many more skills are you hiding?!" Jiang Yujun's eyes were fanatical. "We've been together for so long! This is the first time I've heard you play an instrument. Why didn't you show it before?"
Little Ancestor?
What kind of title is this?
Gu Yunfan smiled modestly: "Sigh, they're just things I played with as a kid. I'm usually busy and didn't have a chance to show them. Since it's the New Years Eve gala, I wanted to show everyone a little something. Just singing would be boring, right?"
"Excellent! Too excellent! You really are my Living Ancestor!"
Jiang Yujun couldn't help but hug Gu Yunfan, "So... what other talents do you have, kid?"
"I'll show you slowly in the future~" Gu Yunfan felt soft against his chest and smelled a fragrance in front of his nose.
"Ahem!" Murong Yan interrupted the two, "Alright, Great Beauty Jiang, kissing and hugging, all lovey-dovey every day. Those who know would say he's your Godson, those who don't would think he's a little lover you're keeping~"
"Go to hell!! What little lover??"
Jiang Yujun hurriedly let go of Gu Yunfan, turned around and pinched Murong Yan's little ear, her heart pounding wildly: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Ow ow ow... it hurts, it hurts... just a joke..."
"Is this something you can joke about? You've needed a beating since you were a kid! If you ever dare to speak nonsense again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Jiang Yujun tapped her head, "You loose-lipped thing!"
Murong Yan rubbed her sore ear and stuck out her tongue, making a face.
Phew—
Jiang Yujun took a deep breath secretly. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was mindful. She felt too embarrassed to talk to her Godson again.
Ding-dong~
A message notification popped up on the phone.
Murong Yan had just sent the video of Gu Yunfan's performance to the family group. The group name used to be "Eight Beauties of the Capital." After Gu Yunfanjoined, it was renamed "Eight Beauties of the Capital & Young Master," and later "Eight Beauties of the Capital & Genius Young Master."
Before long, group messages popped up with a ding-ding-ding.
Fifth Princess:???
Fourth Princess:???
Second Princess: Heavens... Eighth Brother performed seven instruments in one song?
Fifth Princess: (18s voice message)
Fifth Princess: (35s voice message)
Fourth Princess: (60s voice message)
"Haha~, Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister are stunned~"
Murong Yan pressed the voice button to send a message: "You were all shocked, right? I feel sorry for you guys for not coming to see Eighth Brother's performance live today~"
Third Princess: I just watched the video, it's breathtaking!
Murong Yan voice message: "Oh! Major Sister actually showed up, that's rare!"
Third Princess: We also organized a New Year's Eve gala tonight, which just ended. The programs were exciting, but compared to Eighth Brother, they're not in the same league.
Gu Yunfan: Thanks for the compliment, Third Sister (/shy) @Third Princess
Third Princess: Eighth Brother, you're proficient in playing and singing, have great cooking skills and real martial arts, and even designed an advanced aviation engine. You've made me very curious.
Gu Yunfan: Then come home and visit when you're free. Let's meet. Our Mother and Sisters all miss you~
Third Princess: I can't return for now, there will be a chance in the future. You're from Island City, right? Our unit is in Island City. Whenever you go home, come find me on the way.
Jiang Yujun saw the third daughter's message, thought for a moment, and asked Gu Yunfan: "Your winter break starts on January 20th, right? How about after you're on break, I take you back home to visit your parents, and see your Third Sister along the way, then come back to the Capital for the Spring Festival?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Godmother~"
"Reply to your Third Sister, tell her we'll see her in Island City then, and ask her to arrange her time in advance."
Just as Jiang Yujun finished speaking, Murong Yanhurriedly said: "I'm going too, I'm going too! I want to go see Eighth Brother's hometown!"
"You're everywhere. Don't you have announcements?"
"I have a few endorsements and business activities, but it's no problem. The new movie won't start filming until after the new year. I have time~"
"Fine, Xi Xi will go too. If your Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister have time, we'll all go together."
"Oh yeah—"
Murong Yan really wanted to walk around and see the place where Gu Yunfan grew up, to see what kind of environment could nurture such a powerful all-around genius.
Jiang Ruoxi also showed anticipation after hearing this.
Returned to the Courtyard House.
Second Princess An Lingran and Fourth Princess Amiyacame out of the East Wing Room and West Wing Room.
"Oh my~, let me see which great artist has returned?"
Amiya quickly stepped forward, "Flute, xiao, guzheng, pipa, erhu, big drum, suona. You put on a folk music feast tonight. You're so excellent, won't the girls at your school be infatuated with you?"
"Of course~, it was packed when I came out. Some were crazily calling me husband, some were shouting about wanting to have my babies. If the Bodyguards hadn't stopped them, I would have been pounced on by the girls."
"Tsk tsk, look at you, getting cocky just because I praised you~"
Amiya reminded Jiang Yujun: "Mom, you have to manage Eighth Brother well, don't let him flirt around at school."
Jiang Yujun smiled while holding Gu Yunfan's arm: "He won't. He promised me he wouldn't date during college~"
Ahem ahem ahem... hearing this, Amiya, Murong Yan, and Jiang Ruoxi all felt a bit guilty.
No dating during college?
My CEO Mother... counting me... he's already dating four... Amiya didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if her mom found out that the four Sisters were dating Gu Yunfan at the same time... Based on Amiya's understanding of Jiang Yujun, she couldn't possibly have no inkling at all. Was it because there was no evidence? Or was she unwilling to accept it? Deliberately lying to herself?
Gu Yunfan was a bit embarrassed and changed the subject: "Second Sister, you just saw my performance video in the group, right? In terms of folk music, you're the professional. Give your younger brother some feedback~"
"Don't, your level is far superior to mine. I'm not qualified to give you feedback."
An Lingran, like Eldest Sister, was skilled in national instruments. After watching Gu Yunfan's video, her feelings were similar to Eldest Sister's, and her perception of Gu Yunfan had undergone a subtle change.
Eldest Sister arrived home right after, shivering in her overcoat: "What are you all doing standing in the courtyard? It's so cold outside. The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow tonight. Hurry inside to warm up."
The family went to the living room of the Main House to chat, reminiscing about tonight's New Years Eve gala. After Fifth Princess Zhao Siqing returned, she excitedly asked Gu Yunfan to perform on the spot.
Gu Yunfan first played "Daughter's Love" on the guzheng. The mother and seven daughters were mesmerized. Then he played other instruments, and each one was captivated.
Chapter 91: The Sixth and Seventh Princesses' Frenzied Testing; the Secret of the Love Triangle is on the Verge of Exploding!
"Oh my god! What a huge snowfall—"
"Great Beauty Jiang, Old Eight, sisters, wake up and enjoy the snow—"
Early the next morning, Gu Yunfan was sleeping soundly when he heard Murong Yan's high-pitched, cutesy exclamation coming from the West Wing Room.
Gu Yunfan pried his eyelids open and turned his head toward the window. His hazy, sleepy eyes suddenly cleared. Goose-feather snow whirled and fell with a rustle; the large locust tree by the lakeside outside the courtyard was draped in silver and wrapped in white, its brightness stinging his eyes.
He pulled back the quilt, got out of bed, and stood by the window. He saw the roof of the front yard and the courtyard itself covered in white snow. Murong Yan, with a bedhead like a bird's nest and wrapped in a long, goose-yellow housecoat, was treading through the thick snow toward the main house.
Whoosh—
Murong Yan's body tilted back, she let out an 'aiya,' and landed right on her butt in a snowdrift.
"Haha~" Gu Yunfan pushed open the wooden window. The piercing cold wind, carrying snowflakes, hit him in the face as he mocked her mercilessly, "How embarrassing~ There's a hallway but you don't use it; you just had to walk through the snow~"
Murong Yan looked up toward the third floor, grabbed a handful of snow, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it over with a'swish.' "What are you laughing at?!"
Thud!
The snowball traced a low arc and hit the window of the second-floor master bedroom. A second later, the She-devil's muffled reprimand came through: "Yan Yan, are you crazy? It's early morning; aren't you going to let people sleep? You just got back and you're already making a fuss, aren't you?"
"Haha~" Gu Yunfan blinked and smiled, "Big Star, your strength isn't enough. You need to exercise more regularly, you know?"
As he spoke, he grabbed some snow at the window, formed a small ball, and—swish—hit Murong Yan's large snowball with steady, accurate force.
"Gu Yunfan! You bastard!!"
Murong Yan grabbed a handful of snow and rushed toward the main house. She ran up to the third floor with a 'thump-thump-thump' and twisted open Gu Yunfan's door. "Shameless! Don't you dare hide if you have the guts!"
"I won't hide, then~"
Gu Yunfan saw Murong Yan clutching a handful of snow. Just as she was about to stuff the snow into Gu Yunfan's covers, he caught her wrist with quick eyes and hands. With a flick of his hand, he shook the snow right into her collar.
"Oh my god, oh my god—"
The snowflakes fell down along her cleavage.
Murong Yan hurriedly pulled at her underwear and shook it. "It's freezing! It's freezing! Gu Yunfan, you're so mean!"
"Does it feel good?"
"You'll know once you try it!"
Murong Yan grabbed the loose snow scattered on the bed and tried to force it into Gu Yunfan's covers.
Gu Yunfan gave her a gentle tug, pulling her onto the bed. Then he frowned, "Hiss... where are you stuffing that?"
"Haha~"
Murong Yan subconsciously glanced back at the door, feeling a little nervous. She lowered her cutesy voice, "You've got quite the nerve... be careful Xi Xi and Our Mother don't come in..."
"Xi Xi doesn't usually come to my room on her own, and Our Mother didn't sleep until two in the morning. She's tired right now and can't get up; otherwise, she wouldn't have just yelled at you."
"Ha... makes sense... I finally found an opportunity..."
"What? You want to continue the snowball fight in the covers?"
"Bring it on~ Who's afraid of who~"
Murong Yan pressed her cold little hands against Gu Yunfan's abs.
"Hiss... you female hooligan..." Gu Yunfan pulled up the covers, and the two of them fought under the blanket... Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision, constantly monitoring the movements in the second-floor master bedroom, the next-door bedroom, and the courtyard.
As he expected, Jiang Yujun had slept too late last night. After being woken up by Murong Yan just now, she didn't have time to look at the snow and had drifted back to sleep. Jiang Ruoxi, however, was awake. She was standing by the window with her phone taking pictures; it was obvious she was quietly eavesdropping on the room next door.
Before long, Shen Yinuo and An Lingran came out of the East Wing Room to admire the snow. To avoid disturbing the family's rest, the two were very quiet.
Murong Yan was afraid of being discovered by the family and urged Gu Yunfan to wrap things up quickly. After only twenty minutes of'snowball fighting,' they withdrew. Before getting out of bed, she took five ten-complete great tonic pills and cursed a couple of times for show: "You little bastard! Behave yourself next time!"
After leaving the room, she hesitated for a moment and then pushed open Jiang Ruoxi's door.
Jiang Ruoxi, who was sitting on the bed watching a video, was startled: "What are you doing??"
"Just wanted to chat with you~"
Murong Yan swiftly slipped into her covers. "What were you just watching? Acting all sneaky."
"None of your business." Jiang Ruoxi put away her phone; she had just been re-watching the video of Gu Yunfan's performance from last night.
"Tch~ fine, don't tell me then~"
Murong Yan hugged Jiang Ruoxi and let out a surprised 'yi': "How come I feel like you've gotten bigger?"
"What's gotten bigger..." Jiang Ruoxi only understood when she saw the look in Murong Yan's eyes. She struggled a bit, "Get away from me, you psycho, don't hug me."
"The two of us used to sleep together every day when we were little. What's wrong with a hug? Do you hate me that much? Do you want to break off our friendship because of Gu Yunfan?"
"I don't..."
Jiang Ruoxi vaguely smelled... a special scent emanating from Murong Yan's body... that scent was somewhat familiar... "Dear, don't you think it's very awkward for us like this? We're clearly best sisters who talk about everything, but now we're like strangers when we meet."
The tonic pills Murong Yan had taken began to take effect, and her body felt warm and cozy. "I think we need to talk. I don't want to keep fighting with you."
"I don't want to fight with you either..."
"Right? You still care about me, don't you?"
"What do you think..."
"Ha~ cutie, love ya~"
Murong Yan pecked Jiang Ruoxi's cheek. "Then how about you let Big Sister have Gu Yunfan?"
"No." Jiang Ruoxi's face changed in a second. "I know you're good to me. Since we were little, whenever there was anything good, you'd think of me first. I really cherish the bond between us sisters. If it were anything else, I would definitely let you have it, but Gu Yunfan really won't do."
"No room for negotiation?"
"Not unless I'm dead."
"What are you saying? Today is the first day of the New Year; don't say such unlucky things. You like him that much?"
"Mm."
"You won't marry anyone but him?"
"That depends on Our Mother's opinion."
"What if Our Mother doesn't agree?"
"Then I'll just never get married for the rest of my life."
"Yo, yo, yo, such a devoted lover~"
Murong Yan sighed: "What a sin. Why do the two of us have to like the same boy?"
The two fell into silence.
Jiang Ruoxi leaned over Murong Yan and sniffed. The more she smelled, the more she felt something was off.
"What are you sniffing? Pervert!" Murong Yan suddenly realized she might have exposed herself, and her heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
Jiang Ruoxi grew suspicious and said hesitantly, "You... you... what were you doing with Gu Yunfan just now?"
Shoot... she definitely suspects me... Murong Yan blinked her eyelashes and said evasively, "What do you care? I'm asking you now, how are we going to solve the emotional problem between the three of us?"
"I... how should I know..."
"If you absolutely had to choose one between me and Gu Yunfan, who would you choose?"
"Then if it were between me and Gu Yunfan, who would you choose?"
"I..." Murong Yan was choked up, her mind went blank, and for some reason, she blurted out an irrelevant response: "Can I have both?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Uh..."
Murong Yan regretted it as soon as she said it.
The more Jiang Ruoxi looked at her sister, the more suspicious she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you... been seeing Gu Yunfan behind my back..."
Murong Yan panicked and immediately turned the tables, counter-accusing her: "Have you been with my husband behind my back?"
"I..."
"Why are you hesitating?? I didn't actually guess right, did I??" Murong Yan also became suspicious of Jiang Ruoxi.
"I, I... I haven't..." Jiang Ruoxi was incoherent. "I'm the one asking you... have you..."
"I... I haven't either!"
Neither of them dared to be the first to admit it, for fear of hurting the other. But both were suffocating from holding it in, especially Murong Yan. She was straightforward and couldn't keep a secret to save her life; she had almost impulsively admitted it.
No, no, no!
This is suffocating!
Murong Yan planned to talk to Gu Yunfan. She got out of bed, went downstairs, and sent a message to Gu Yunfan, asking to meet him in the Back Garden.
Jiang Ruoxi also had many things she wanted to ask Gu Yunfan. She sent him a message, asking to meet him in the Study.
Chapter 92: Gu Yunfan, you bastard!! You've actually been cheating on me for so long!!
Buzz, buzz—
Gu Yunfan received two messages.
He had just used Owl Hearing to eavesdrop on Murong Yan and Jiang Ruoxi's private conversation. From their dialogue, it was clear that both were on the verge of exposing their relationships, and Jiang Ruoxi had become suspicious that he was involved with Murong Yan.
Gu Yunfan had tested the two of them at the school gymnasium last night and felt that they seemed able to accept each other. Combined with the conversation just now, he was even more convinced of his judgment.
Should I just lay my cards on the table?
Yeah!
The timing is about right~
It's time for this landlord to play his hand~
Gu Yunfan replied to the two of them, asking them to meet in the back garden on the pretext of building a snowman.
He took a shower, put on the long down jacket his Godmother had given him, and ran into Jiang Ruoxi when he headed out.
Jiang Ruoxi scrutinized Gu Yunfan, wanting to ask what Murong Yan had been doing in his room just now, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Morning, wifey~" Gu Yunfan raised his hand and pulled Jiang Ruoxi into his arms.
"Oh..." Jiang Ruoxi suddenly became nervous. "Keep it down, okay... don't let Our Mother hear you..."
"Exciting, isn't it?" Gu Yunfan swaggered downstairs with his arm around her. He didn't let go even when they reached the second floor, making Jiang Ruoxi tremble with fear, though she did find it quite thrilling.
Once in the living room, Gu Yunfan finally let go of her. He ran into An Lingran, who was carrying a bag. "Morning, Second Sister. Don't you have the New Year holiday off? You're still working?"
"Yeah, I have a surgery today."
After witnessing Gu Yunfan's musical performance skills last night, An Lingran's gaze toward him was a bit gentler than before.
"Surgeons really have it hard. Come back as early as you can tonight; I'm cooking today~"
"Okay~" An Lingran revealed a rare smile, one that carried a hint of anticipation for the food.
Gu Yunfan used X-ray Vision to observe the East Wing Room and West Wing Room. Eldest Sister was at her computer researching aviation engines, Fourth Sister had left early to solve a case, Fifth Sister was still sound asleep, and Murong Yan had already gone to the back garden.
Crunch, crunch, crunch... Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxiwalked on the thick snow, making a squelching sound that felt very stress-relieving. "The snow in the capital is still the prettiest; it's heavier than the snow back in Island City."
Jiang Ruoxi reached out her fair little hand to catch a snowflake. "Aren't you going to build a snowman? Aren't you bringing any tools?"
"No rush~ I have something to talk to you guys about~"
"You guys? Who else is there besides the two of us?"
"Your Best friend."
"Uh..."
Jiang Ruoxi had a bad feeling.
Gu Yunfan couldn't have actually done that with Sixth Sister, could he... At that thought, Jiang Ruoxi's legs felt a bit weak, and her steps instantly became much heavier.
"Morning, Young Master~ Morning, Seventh Miss~"
The Little older sister sitting in the back garden's guard booth called out.
Gu Yunfan replied with a smile, "Morning~ Is it cold?"
"It's not cold. There's a heater in the booth. Thank you for your concern, Young Master. We watched the video of your New Years Eve gala performance last night. You're amazing, Young Master!"
"Haha~ I'm talking about some things with Seventh Sisterand Sixth Sister. If someone comes, give us a shout."
"Will do!"
Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi passed through the Festooned Gate and then through the Rockery. They saw Murong Yan across the Lotus Pond, building a snowman with a shovel.
"Old... Old Eight is here? Hmm? Why did Green Tea come too?"
"Tch..."
Jiang Ruoxi's head throbbed at the words "Green Tea." She just looked innocent and was naturally fragile; she wasn't intentionally faking it, nor was she calculating. She was definitely not a "Green Tea" girl.
As the two approached, Murong Yan asked softly, "Hubby... is Our Mother up yet?"
"Not yet. It's a holiday today, so she's not going to the company. She'll probably sleep until noon."
"That's good, that's good..."
Murong Yan wanted to talk to Gu Yunfan, but with her younger sister present, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
Jiang Ruoxi felt the same. The two of them had just been frantically testing each other under the covers, so meeting now was a bit awkward.
Gu Yunfan looked across the pond toward the entrance of the back garden. Separated by the Rockery, the area was very private, and the Little older sister at the gate couldn't see them. So, he got straight to the point: "Do you both have something on your minds?"
"Uh..."
"Um..."
The two sisters looked at each other.
"Hubby, come here for a second." Murong Yan pulled Gu Yunfan into the pavilion and whispered, "I asked you out to talk about something... why did you bring her?"
"If the two of us came out alone, Our Mother would get suspicious. It's different if the three of us come out to build a snowman together."
"True... After I left your room... I went to see Xi Xi... She seems to suspect us... What should we do..."
"Oh? How did she find out?" Gu Yunfan asked, knowing the answer.
Murong Yan gave a forced smile. "Isn't it because of what you did... She was sniffing around me like a little dog..."
"Who told you to go to her without showering first?"
"Oh... it was a momentary oversight... What should I do? I don't want to hide it from her anymore. It's so awkward, and I have such a strong sense of guilt. I never used to have insomnia, but lately, I can't sleep."
"Then how about laying your cards on the table with her?"
"But I'm afraid she won't be able to take it! You know her temperament! I'm really afraid she'll do something stupid!"
"True... however..."
"However what?"
"I have a way... to ensure she won't do anything drastic."
"Tell me, tell me!"
"As long as you can accept her... and don't make a scene with her... I reckon it won't be a big problem."
"I accept her?? What do you mean?? You don't want both of us, do you??"
"Heh..."
"Wait! Why are you smiling so lewdly?? Looking at that sleazy face of yours, you haven't already hooked up with her, have you??"
"Since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. Actually, you're the third party..."
"What???"
Murong Yan's exclamation drew a curious look from Jiang Ruoxi.
"Shh..."
Gu Yunfan covered her pink lips and said earnestly, "Remember when you asked me to the back garden in the middle of the night to confess? Do you know why I rejected you then? At that time, Xi Xi and I already had feelings for each other. If I had accepted you, I would have been letting her down. After you went to Hengdian, we started dating..."
"What?? Gu Yunfan, you bastard!! You've actually been cheating on me for so long!!"
"Calm down, calm down..." Gu Yunfan covered her mouth tightly. "If we're talking about cheating... you're the one who cheated on her, okay... When you were messing with me... the two of us were already together..."
"F*ck!! You scumbag!!"
Murong Yan suddenly pushed him away. "I'm going to tell Our Mother!! I'm going to expose you, you lecher!!"
"Fine~ Go ahead and tell her~ I don't believe you'll actually do it."
"You don't believe me?! Just you wait!!"
Murong Yan turned and stormed away. She had suspected Gu Yunfan was involved with Jiang Ruoxi and had prepared herself mentally, but when she actually heard the news, she found it hard to accept for a moment.
Jiang Ruoxi walked over quickly and asked nervously, "What's wrong with her??"
"I told her about us."
"Ah???"
Jiang Ruoxi was so scared her vision went dark, and her lips trembled. "Is she... is she going to tell Our Mother???"
"Yup~" Gu Yunfan was calm and composed.
"Then what do we do??"
"You're going to be kicked out of the house by Our Mother~ Are you scared?"
"I..."
Asking herself, Jiang Ruoxi was very scared, but she was willing to accept any punishment for Gu Yunfan's sake. She took a long breath. "Fine... if she wants to tell, let her... Actually, when she came to see me just now... I almost admitted it... This is fine... it's a relief instead..."
"baby, now that things have come to this, I have to confess something to you."
"What?"
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Murong Yan across the Lotus Pond.
Huh? Why did she stop?
Chapter 93: I'm Willing to Sacrifice Myself for the Greater Good. From Now On, You Two Can Share Me Equally~
"On the night we went to Hengdian to celebrate Sixth Sister's birthday, Sixth Sister invited me to the film set, and we..."
Gu Yunfan observed Jiang Ruoxi's reaction.
Jiang Ruoxi trembled with excitement, her voice shaking, "You two... what happened??"
Gu Yunfan suddenly hugged her, pretending to be aggrieved, "I was taken advantage of by your sister..."
"What???"
Jiang Ruoxi's vision went black, her little head buzzing, and the world seemed to spin around her.
What she feared most had come to pass... Upstairs earlier, she had suspected something was off between Murong Yan and Gu Yunfan, and sure enough, her worst fears had materialized... This scene was witnessed by Murong Yan from across the lotus pond.
Bastard!
You didn't even chase after me!
Fine, you don't chase me, but then you hug my sister! Pah! Scumbag!
Murong Yan was a straightforward person who ignited at the slightest spark. Just now, upon hearing about Gu Yunfan and her sister, she couldn't accept it, her mind clouded with heat, and she wanted to go tell their mother. But she loved Gu Yunfan too much and couldn't bear to hurt her sister. In the end, rationality overcame impulse, and she abandoned the idea of exposing them.
She thought it over carefully... Exposing them wouldn't bring her the slightest benefit.
One: She would lose Gu Yunfan completely.
Two: The sisters would break off all ties.
Three: Her own affair with Gu Yunfan would be exposed, and the She-devil would punish her as well.
That bastard Gu Yunfan had made it clear: ultimately, I'm the one who stole my sister's boyfriend. I'm not in the right, and it's inappropriate to argue without reason... Sigh... Look at this mess!
It makes me seem like the other woman.
Murong Yan stood frozen for a moment, pondering, then turned to go talk to the two of them, "Gu Yunfan! You shameless jerk, let go of my sister!"
Gu Yunfan released Jiang Ruoxi and turned around, saying, "Oh, back so soon? Where's Our Mother?"
"Hmph! She'll be here soon to deal with you!!"
Murong Yan growled fiercely, "Speak! What are we going to do?"
"You've already tattled, so what can we do? I've made up my mind: I can't leave Xi Xi. If Our Mother kicks her out of the Jiang Family, I'll leave with her. She truly loves me, and I'll take care of her for the rest of my life~"
"You!" Murong Yan was consumed by jealousy.
Jiang Ruoxi was originally both angry and heartbroken, but upon hearing Gu Yunfan's words, she was moved to tears.
"If you leave with her, then what about me?!" Murong Yanretorted indignantly, "She loves you, but don't I love you too? Do you only have eyes for her? Then what am I?!"
"You can keep being your Sixth Princess. You're a Big Star, with countless admirers of the opposite sex. You don't need me. To you, I might just be a toy you can toss aside at will~"
"Bullshit!! Is that how heartless you think I am in your heart?!!"
Murong Yan's eyes reddened, "I didn't tattle, okay? I just wanted to scare you! Both of you are the people I love most. Do you think I'd hurt you?"
"Oh? I wasn't wrong about you. I knew you wouldn't. You're the sweetest fairy I've ever met. How could you be a snake-hearted scorpion?"
"Cut it out! Stop flattering me!"
Murong Yan pushed Gu Yunfan away, "Move! I want to ask Jiang Ruoxi if what you just said is true!"
"What?" Jiang Ruoxi was dazed by the sudden turn of events.
"This scumbag said! You two were already together before going to Hengdian, right?"
"Uh... yes..."
"Well, well! You two actually kept it from me and had a secret affair! Pah! Adulterous couple!"
"You're the adulterous couple! What secret affair? We're in a normal relationship, okay? We didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd be hurt..."
"Ha! Thank you so much! What you were really afraid of was me telling Our Mother, right?"
"Of course, that's part of it... but mainly, we were considering your feelings..."
"Hmph! So I should thank you, huh?"
After clarifying the timeline of her sister and Gu Yunfan's relationship, Murong Yan suddenly felt a bit less justified, and her tone softened considerably.
Jiang Ruoxi turned the tables and questioned her, "I haven't asked you yet: on the night we went to Hengdian to celebrate your birthday, why did you invite Gu Yunfanto the film set?"
"What do you think? Of course, to sleep with him!"
"You... I was already in a relationship with him... and you still provoked him... How could you do that?"
"I didn't know you two were dating! How is that my fault?"
At this point, both sisters turned to look at Gu Yunfan.
"Hmph! Ultimately, you're the one to blame!"
Murong Yan pointed at him, "You kept it from both of us, playing both sides! Sleeping with one, then the other, causing us sisters to turn against each other. On the surface, you seem proper, but deep down, you're full of wickedness!"
"It's not entirely my fault, is it?"
Gu Yunfan argued his case, "I'm a soft-hearted person, naturally compassionate. You confessed to me, and to be with me, you even stood up to the She-devil. After you left, you contacted me every day, asking how I was, calling me 'hubby' this and 'hubby' that. You liked me so much, I couldn't bear to reject you. Afterward, I couldn't tell Xi Xi; I was afraid she'd be hurt. I was in a difficult position, okay?"
"Oh, oh, oh, so you're the one who's suffering?"
"Exactly, suffering greatly. To take care of both your feelings, it's been so hard for me."
"Cut it out! Playing the victim after taking advantage! A campus belle from Tsinghua and Peking University, and a Top-tier Big Star—both slept with you, and you're acting like it's a hardship? It really pisses me off!"
Murong Yan couldn't help but kick him in the crotch.
Gu Yunfan arched back, "Don't mess around, don't mess around. You make it sound like I got a huge advantage. What's so special about a campus belle from Tsinghua and Peking University? What's so special about a Top-tier Big Star? I'm not bad either, okay? I'm widely recognized as a Super Versatile Genius. You two are the ones who got lucky by having me, okay?"
"You!"
Murong Yan and Jiang Ruoxi thought it over carefully and felt Gu Yunfan had a point. As Gu Yunfan grew stronger, both indeed felt they weren't good enough for him.
"Enough nonsense! You have to give us an answer today!"
Murong Yan changed the subject, "Choose: me or her?"
"Let me analyze this for you two. If I choose you, Xi Xidefinitely won't be able to accept it. You wouldn't want to see her crying her eyes out or even harming herself, right?"
Gu Yunfan shifted his gaze to Jiang Ruoxi, "If I choose you, then Yan Yan will be the one hurt. You two are deeply bonded as sisters; you wouldn't want to see her crushed, right? So..."
"So what?"
The sisters asked in unison.
Gu Yunfan mumbled indistinctly, "Maybe I should sacrifice a bit... um... you know..."
"What what?? Speak up! Straighten out your tongue and talk clearly!" Murong Yan poked her ear.
Gu Yunfan wrapped his left arm around Jiang Ruoxi and his right arm around Murong Yan, declaring solemnly, "For the sake of you sisters reconciling, for the unity and harmony of the Jiang Family, for the eternal stability of the Jiang Group, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the greater good. So I've decided to accommodate both of you. From now on, you two can share me equally~"
"Damn!! Scumbag!! I knew you wanted both!!"
Murong Yan grabbed Gu Yunfan's right arm and tripped his right leg, "Xi Xi, grab him! Let's take him down and teach him a lesson!!"
"Oh, oh, oh—"
Jiang Ruoxi grabbed Gu Yunfan's left arm and mimicked the move. Both pulled back simultaneously.
Gu Yunfan's lips curled into a smile as he tightened his embrace and let himself fall backward into the snow. Thump, thump, "Oh my god!", "Hey, hey, hey", all three tumbled to the ground.
Chapter 94: Sixth Princess and Seventh Princess Reach an Agreement, Perfectly Resolving the Dispute~
"Gu Yunfan, you bastard!!"
Murong Yan, who had fallen into the snow, flipped over and pinned Gu Yunfan down. "Darling, bite him!! Bite him to death!!"
"Huh? How do I bite? Bite... bite where?" Jiang Ruoxi was at a loss.
"Watch me!" Murong Yan pulled open Gu Yunfan's down jacket and sweater, biting his shoulder.
"Hiss..." Gu Yunfan didn't dodge, intentionally letting her vent.
"Oh my god..." Jiang Ruoxi's eyes widened in shock, saying with concern, "Alright, alright... stop messing around..."
Murong Yan, biting Gu Yunfan, mumbled indistinctly, "What do you mean stop messing around? This jerk openly wants to have his cake and eat it too! Shouldn't he be taught a lesson?"
"Oh... he..."
"You, you! You're just too soft-hearted!"
Murong Yan released Gu Yunfan, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it down his neck. "Scumbag!!"
"Shh..."
Gu Yunfan endured the chill in his chest and the stinging pain in his shoulder, one arm around Murong Yan, the other around Jiang Ruoxi, looking up at the falling snowflakes in the sky. "Lying in the snow to admire the snow has a unique charm~"
"You still have the mood to admire the snow?"
Murong Yan looked up at the sky, where the world was vast and white, with large snowflakes drifting down like torn cotton, slowly kissing their foreheads and eyelashes, creating a beautiful, fairy-tale-like scene.
Jiang Ruoxi squinted her slightly dizzy phoenix eyes, her excitement gradually calming down. In the face of nature, humans are so insignificant.
Two Sisters sharing one boyfriend... it sounds absurd... but... this might be the best solution... life is fleeting... so short... why struggle in the mire of pain for the sake of worldly opinions?
If she had to share Gu Yunfan with someone else... Jiang Ruoxi found it hard to accept... but Murong Yan was her best sister and Best friend... she felt it might not be impossible... Meanwhile, Murong Yan was also silently pondering.
Last night, watching Gu Yunfan perform at Tsinghua University... she had the idea of sharing him with her Best friend... she was even startled by her own absurd thought at the time... but now she felt... if there was no better solution... then it might not be unacceptable... "What are you two thinking? Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Yunfan could sense the two Sisters' thoughts; he guessed they could accept each other, which was why he dared to play his cards.
"You shut up!"
Murong Yan sat up, brushing the snowflakes off her bangs. "One in each arm, you're quite good at enjoying yourself, huh? If Our Mother saw this, she'd skin you alive!"
"If anyone's getting skinned, it's you—you're the one who seduced me~"
"Hah! Shameless!"
Murong Yan punched him, shifting her gaze to Jiang Ruoxi. "Ahem... has someone gotten addicted to lying down? Aren't you embarrassed? Come with me... I need to talk to you alone..."
"Oh..."
Jiang Ruoxi got up, patting the snow off herself, glancing at Gu Yunfan, who winked at her and made a little heart gesture.
"So thick-skinned..."
Jiang Ruoxi followed Murong Yan through the Bamboo Grove to the shores of Shichahai.
Murong Yan stammered, "Um... Girl... you... you..."
"Are you trying to ask... what my attitude is toward Gu Yunfan's proposal?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"What about you? What do you think?"
"Me... I..." Murong Yan awkwardly twirled her hair. "Suppose... I'm just saying suppose... suppose I don't object to you being with him... can you... can you accept me being with him too... note that I'm just saying suppose..."
"Oh..." Jiang Ruoxi found it hard to say.
"Hey, don't be embarrassed. I'm just talking hypothetically. If you can't accept it, just say so—it's fine."
"I... I..."
"Here's what: if you can't accept it, shake your head. If you can accept it, just... just nod. No! Don't nod—just don't say anything."
"Hmm..."
Jiang Ruoxi neither shook her head nor nodded, just walked quietly ahead.
"Understood!" Murong Yan clapped her hands. "So maybe... we... right?"
"Hmm!"
"Hahaha..."
Murong Yan excitedly hugged Jiang Ruoxi. "You're such a good little sister! I haven't spoiled you for nothing!"
Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah—
Murong Yan kissed her again and again.
"Oh, alright, alright, where are you kissing? Really~" Jiang Ruoxi wiped the corner of her mouth, letting out a long sigh. "Whew—, after holding it in for so long, I can finally relax~"
"Me too, me too! You have no idea how conflicted I was. Hiding it from Our Mother and Sisters is one thing, but I had to hide it from you too. I knew you liked him, yet I insisted on competing with you. I really didn't want to compete, but I love him too much. I'm sorry, darling, can you forgive me?"
"From start to finish, I never blamed you. If anyone should apologize, it's me. You confessed to Gu Yunfan first, and then I got together with him behind your back. I've actually felt very guilty and remorseful all along..."
"Ha~, then let's not say sorry to each other. From now on, we're still the best of friends, sharing everything, facing hardships together... no... I'll face the hardships as the older sister~ If Our Mother finds out someday, I'll take the blame alone~"
"That won't do~, if we get punished, we'll face it together~"
"Alright! You're a good friend~"
Murong Yan linked arms with Jiang Ruoxi. "Let's go back and build a snowman. Damn, that guy really got lucky~"
"Ah-ha~" Jiang Ruoxi smiled brightly, like a plum blossom blooming in winter.
"Wow! That jerk has already built the snowmen~"
When they reached the Back Garden, they saw three large snowmen standing in front of the Lotus Pond.
Gu Yunfan was busy shaping and shoveling. "Who are you calling a jerk? What did you two go out to talk about? Didn't you get into a fight?"
"Fight, fight, fight—all you think about is fighting!"
Murong Yan led Jiang Ruoxi forward. "I have some huge news to tell you. Want to hear it?"
"Go ahead~"
"Call me 'Mom,' and I'll tell you~"
"Are you crazy?"
"Haha..."
Murong Yan looked around, then glanced across the Lotus Pond, announcing softly, "Congratulations~, you've simultaneously won the top campus belle of Tsinghua University and the sweetest Girl in the entertainment industry~"
"Oh?" Gu Yunfan wasn't surprised at all, but upon hearing the news, he couldn't suppress his excitement. "Shouldn't I be congratulating you? You've simultaneously won a Once-in-a-Century Super Versatile Genius~"
"Hah! We three have to keep this a secret, okay? We absolutely must not let the Great Demon Head find out. I can already imagine her reaction if she knew. Eek... I don't even want to think about it..."
Murong Yan rubbed her goosebump-covered arms, scared just thinking about it.
Gu Yunfan said calmly, "Don't worry~, if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. You two just enjoy me to the fullest~"
"Hah~, shameless. It's you enjoying us, okay?"
Murong Yan arranged, "Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, you serve me—no, as the older sister, I should yield to the younger sister. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, you serve Xi Xi. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, you serve me~"
"Serve? Treating me like a male concubine? No need to split days—you know how strong I am~"
"Damn! Pervert!"
Bang!
Murong Yan bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and threw it at Gu Yunfan's face. "Your face is too thick—let me wash it for you!"
"Hey, my temper!"
Gu Yunfan shoveled a pile of snow and threw it at the two of them.
"Ah! You're so mean!"
"Xi Xi, beat him up!"
The two Sisters attacked from both sides, each grabbing two large snowballs to throw at him. The three of them started a snowball fight in the Back Garden...
Chapter 95: Winter Break Begins, Gu Yunfan Takes His Godmother and Sisters Home to His Hometown
The heavy snow fell intermittently, and time flew by until January 21st.
Yesterday, the undergraduates at Qingbei University officially started their break.
According to the previous plan, after the break started, Gu Yunfan would take his Godmother and Sisters to Island City. First, to visit the graves of his deceased parents, and second, to meet the Third Princess, whom he had never met before, and spend a few days playing in Island City.
The Group was scheduled to depart this morning.
"Ho ho~, we're going to visit Eighth Brother's hometown!~"
During breakfast, Murong Yan seemed very excited. Ever since reaching an understanding with Jiang Ruoxi, she had let go of the burdens in her heart, and these past few days had been carefree and joyful.
Jiang Ruoxi was also in great spirits. The two of them took turns interacting with Gu Yunfan, neither competing nor snatching, living in harmony, though they dared not be too frequent due to the Great Demon Head's deterrence.
"I'm so envious of you all! Unfortunately, Sister doesn't have time to go. After the New Years Eve gala, I have to start preparing for the Spring Festival Gala. Why don't you wait a few days for me? I can ask the station for some leave after I finish these two busy days?"
Zhao Siqing really wanted to go with them.
Murong Yan quickly waved her hands: "No, no, we promised Third Sister we would meet today. Third Sisterhas a mission to execute tomorrow and might not be back for a while!"
"That's right, we'll leave right after breakfast," Jiang Yujunfed Gu Yunfan fresh milk. "You all can visit next time if you have the chance; there will be plenty of opportunities."
"Alright, I am quite disappointed too," Amiya said while eating. "Eighth Brother, Third Sister told me she wants to spar with you. I'll be straight with you, her skills are far above mine; you might not be her match, you know~"
"Is that so? Then I must ask for her guidance when I see her~" Gu Yunfan fed his Godmother an egg.
"Eighth Brother, bring us back some Island Cityspecialties, okay~"
Eldest Sister Shen Yinuo, being a teacher engaged in frontline teaching and scientific research, wouldn't have a break for a few more days, and even when she did, she wouldn't have time; her entire focus was immersed in the aviation engine development project.
"No problem. Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, send me a message about what you want to eat or what you desire. Don't miss us too much; we'll be back soon."
Gu Yunfan's gaze fell upon Second Sister An Lingran, secretly muttering to himself.
Because some time ago, he had opened a thousand-point treasure chest, and the reward was 'Divine Doctor Level Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills,' which he still hadn't had a chance to use.
An Lingran noticed Gu Yunfan looking at her intentionally or unintentionally from time to time. She thought Gu Yunfan had developed feelings for her, which brought both joy and unease.
After breakfast.
Jiang Yujun, Gu Yunfan, Murong Yan, and Jiang Ruoxi took a car to the airport, then boarded a private jet bound for Island City.
"Curved eyelashes blinking~ The heart-fluttering world has become so much fun..." Murong Yan sat by the porthole, humming a little tune while looking at the clouds outside.
"Sixth Sister is a bit too energized~" Gu Yunfan leaned sideways and lay down on his Godmother's lap. "Godmother, my ear is a bit itchy; can you scratch it for me?"
[interaction value +19]
"Okay~"
Jiang Yujun asked the Little older sister for an ear pick, lowered her fox-like eyes, and carefully cleaned his ear.
"I'm speechless, some people really know how to enjoy themselves~"
Murong Yan copied the action, turned over, and lay down on Jiang Ruoxi's beautiful legs, blinking her deer eyes: "Darling, scratch Sister's ear too~"
"Sure thing~" Jiang Ruoxi also took an ear pick.
Strange... Aren't these two rivals in love?
When they went to Hengdian, Yan Yan looked at Xi Xiwith disdain, and Xi Xi ignored Yan Yan. How is it that after Yan Yan finished filming in Hengdian, their relationship made a 180-degree turn, becoming even better than when they were children... Jiang Yujun looked puzzled, gazing at her Godson on her lap, wondering if this was the result of him mediating?
How did he mediate?
It's too miraculous... Living under the same roof, Jiang Yujun had long suspected the Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess, but just as the Fourth Princess had speculated, she neither found evidence nor wanted to accept it, so she simply stopped thinking along those lines.
"Godmother, how many times have you been to Island City?"
Gu Yunfan activated the system; the system balance was over 5100. He didn't plan to open another thousand-point treasure chest; he was preparing to aim for the second ten-thousand-point grand prize, but he felt a bit restless and wanted to open a hundred-point treasure chest to satisfy his craving.
"Many times. I traveled with your Godfather and Godmother when I was little. When I was in college, I went with your mother and father during winter and summer breaks, and after graduation, I visited to inspect The Group's projects."
Recalling past events, they were vivid. Whenever Jiang Yujun thought of her past in Island City, she used to feel suffocated, but now she had long since let go.
In her eyes, there was no longer Big Gu, only Little Gu.
"I see. Then you must be very familiar with Island City. Have you visited all the scenic spots like the Trestle Bridge, the Eight Great Passes, Golden Sand Beach, and Mount Lao?"
"Yes~"
"Oh no, I was hoping to take you around, but since you've been everywhere, it won't be as fun."
"How could it not be fun? Where we go isn't important; who we go with is what matters. As long as you're with me, boy, everywhere will be fun~"
Hiss... Murong Yan, sitting across from them, couldn't hold back: "Oh my! Great Beauty Jiang, that's too mushy! It's giving me goosebumps~"
"Shut up! You talk too much!"
Jiang Yujun almost kicked her, but seeing that she was currently picking her ear, she stopped herself.
Jiang Ruoxi suppressed a giggle: "It's my first time going~ Sixth Sister filmed at Island City's Oriental Movie Metropolis, but she didn't really get to explore much. Classmate Gu will be our guide, okay~"
"You got it. Tonight, I'll take you to the night market for seafood first, and tomorrow I'll take you to check in at the various scenic spots."
Gu Yunfan sat up and patted his thigh: "Godmother, lie back down, I'll scratch your ear too."
"Mmm... okay~" Jiang Yujun hesitated slightly. The moment she lay down on her Godson's lap, ripples stirred in her calm heart.
[interaction value +19]
So... so big... Godmother's Pigeon Egg ruby on her chest is truly huge... Gu Yunfan tucked the brown strands of hair scattered on his Godmother's chest behind her ear, grabbed one strand, and yanked hard, pulling off a piece of her wavy hair.
Jiang Yujun lightly slapped him: "Why are you tugging my hair, child?"
"Don't move~" Gu Yunfan twisted the strand of hair into a spiral, then folded it over, repeating several times, braiding it into a fine twist. He held his Godmother's earlobe with his left hand and sent the twisted hair into her ear with his right, rotating it as it went deeper.
"So itchy, so itchy..."
Jiang Yujun closed her beautiful eyes, looking completely satisfied.
Murong Yan saw this and looked longingly: "I want one too, I want one too! Great Beauty Jiang, I want one like... like our old... like our family's Eighth Brother does~"
Like what?
Did you almost blurt it out?
Jiang Ruoxi became tense at her sister's words.
The flight lasted an hour and a half.
The plane arrived at Island City International Airport.
Before landing, Gu Yunfan unlocked a hundred-point treasure chest.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Life Resume Editor"!]
[The host can edit life experiences starting from birth, based on actual experiences, and acquaintances related to the host will automatically have their memories of the host rewritten.]
Oh?
Edit life experiences?
I understand... After I got the system, I obtained many skills, big and small, and I always claimed I learned them myself when I was little. But if I encountered neighbors or relatives, and my Godmother and two girlfriends asked about my childhood, and the neighbors and relatives knew nothing, that would be awkward.
This is great~
It's equivalent to a Bug Modifier.
Gu Yunfan added the experiences of self-learning singing, cooking, Jeet Kune Do, musical instruments, and medicine to his life resume. His grandfather was a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor before he passed away, so it was entirely reasonable for him to study medicine with him as a child.
Chapter 96: First Meeting with Major Wei Zixia, Commander of the Assault Team
After getting off the plane.
The group traveled by car to the Marine Corps base.
Passing through the rolling Mount Lao, they arrived at the first military control checkpoint. The team sent by the Third Princess had been waiting for a long time. The team brought passes and non-disclosure agreements. During the security check, Gu Yunfan and others signed the non-disclosure agreements as required and passed smoothly.
An hour later, they encountered a second military checkpoint and were checked again. Shortly after, they passed the Marine Corps brigade headquarters, but the convoy did not stop, instead driving towards the sea.
Gu Yunfan had heard from his Godmother that his Third Sister was the commander of an assault team in a Special Operations Team of the Marine Corps, belonging to a frontline combat unit.
Nearing noon, after passing the third checkpoint, they finally arrived at their destination. The camp gate had no markings, making it impossible to discern the unit's nature, designation, or other information.
Civilian vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering the Special Operations Team camp. The group got out of the car for a fourth security check, had their phones and other personal items temporarily confiscated, and only took some gifts before transferring to a military vehicle to enter.
Murong Yan murmured, "Oh my... it's too strict... checked four times just to get in... truly a special forces unit... an eye-opener..."
Jiang Ruoxi looked out the car window curiously. Both she and Murong Yan were visiting for the first time, while Jiang Yujun had been twice.
"Army of armies ~ Steel of steel ~ We are the passionate sons of the motherland..."
A Special Operations Squadron, dressed in green camouflage, fully armed with steel rifles, marched past in neat formation.
Murong Yan exclaimed excitedly, "Wahaha! So cool! Aren't Marine Corps training uniforms blue? How did they turn green?"
Gu Yunfan explained, "They used to be 'Blue Smurfs,' but over the past few years, they've gradually changed to 'Green Smurfs.'"
"Oh oh~ So handsome, so handsome. I want to film a military drama in the future~"
"You?"
"No, what do you mean?"
"Your image is too sweet, your voice is too cutesy, and you're very affected. You're not suitable for military dramas. If you really want to film one, you can only be a Cultural Soldier~"
"I'll kill you!!"
Murong Yan punched Gu Yunfan from behind her mother.
Jiang Yujun stopped them, "Alright, alright, this is a military unit, be serious."
"Oh... the Female Soldiers are training... so dashing..."
Jiang Ruoxi curiously watched the training ground, where Special Operations Female Soldiers were conducting tactical training, equipped with new combat equipment like Robotic Dogs and Drones.
The convoy finally stopped in front of the dining hall. Several leaders in white Navy dress uniforms enthusiastically greeted them, one of whom was the Third Princess, Wei Zixia.
Oh my goodness... Gu Yunfan's pupils suddenly brightened when he saw his Third Sister. He had only seen photos and videos of his Third Sister at home; his Third Sister in real life was even more stunning.
Estimated at 168cm tall, wearing a white Navy cap and a white Navy uniform, with the rank of Major on her shoulder. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, looking heroic and formidable, exuding the demeanor of a female General who yields to no man. With this beauty in the military, she was definitely a military flower.
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome to President Jiangand her family!"
The Xuanlong Special Operations Brigade Commander, bearing the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, smiled broadly. He had met Jiang Yujun before and was well aware of the Jiang Family's background; Jiang Yujun's uncle was the War Zone Commander of the Dragon Nation's Northern War Zone, with the rank of General.
"Welcome, welcome~" The Political Commissar, Deputy Captain, and other leaders followed with enthusiastic greetings.
"We've troubled you~" Jiang Yujun was led out of the car by Gu Yunfan.
"Mom! I've missed you so much!"
Wei Zixia stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yujun, "Let me see if you've changed? Hmm... you look more radiant than ever. You already look young, and now you seem about my age, maybe twenty-seven or twenty-eight. How can you be my mom? Anyone who sees us would think you're my sister."
"Haha~" Jiang Yujun beamed, "You haven't changed much, as vigorous and heroic as ever. Come, come, let me introduce you to your new younger brother."
"No need for introductions, I've seen his videos in the group often, I've known him for a long time."
Wei Zixia's gaze shifted to Gu Yunfan, sizing him up, "Not bad, well-featured, imposing, very masculine. After dinner, how about we spar?"
"Sure~" Gu Yunfan observed his Third Sister up close. Her facial features were sharp, and there was a scar above her eyebrow. The scar didn't detract from her beauty; instead, it symbolized a soldier's honor, adding a touch of charm.
"Third Sister~ you're so cool~"
Murong Yan hugged Wei Zixia, staring at the epaulet on her shoulder, "Tsk tsk, a Major at 27, that's amazing~"
"Keep it low-key, low-key..." Wei Zixia teased softly, "You and Eighth Brother aren't secretly dating behind Our Mother's back, are you...?"
"Cough cough..."
Murong Yan quickly released her Third Sister and changed the subject, "Quick, hug your Seventh Sister, your Seventh Sister misses you too~"
Wei Zixia smiled, embracing Jiang Ruoxi. She knew her Seventh Sister was thin-skinned, so she didn't tease her.
The Political Commissar laughed, "President Jiang, Zi Xiais usually humorless and ruthless, earning her the nickname 'Devil Captain,' but in front of you, she's a completely different person."
The Deputy Captain chimed in, "Yes, we rarely see her smile or speak so much."
The Brigade Commander extended his hand in invitation, "Come, come, you've had a long and tiring journey. Let's eat and chat."
The group went to the dining hall for their meal.
Soon after, the Special Operations Team finished their morning training and came to the dining hall to eat. Upon seeing Jiang Yujun and the others, they all cast curious glances.
"Wow wow wow! So many beauties!"
"Hey? Isn't that... what's her name... I'm suddenly excited... anyway, she's a big celebrity..."
"Which one are you talking about? There are two celebrities, one is Asia's Richest Woman, President of Jiang Group, Jiang Yujun, and the other is new-generation star Murong Yan."
"Ah, right, right!! I'm talking about Jiang Yujun! Who's Murong Yan? I don't follow entertainment, I don't know her!"
"My goodness, Jiang Yujun in real life is even more beautiful than online. She truly lives up to her reputation as the first beauty of the capital, Asia's Number One Goddess, and one of the top ten wealthy socialites globally. Absolutely stunning!"
"Strange, why are they at our unit? This is a military restricted area, how did they get in?"
"Are you an idiot? Don't you know the commander of the Ghost Assault Team is Jiang Yujun's daughter?"
"What?? I really didn't know that. I only got selected two months ago. Isn't the Ghost Assault Team Commandersurnamed Wei? How can she be the Jiang Family's daughter? Did President Jiang get married? Is Commander Wei's father surnamed Wei?"
"She's not married, I'm not clear on the specifics, but rumor has it Commander Wei was adopted."
"Who's that young man? A young master of the Jiang Family?"
"Don't know..."
"What are you all whispering about?! Do you need to use your mouths to get food?!"
A Platoon Leader yelled loudly in reprimand.
The Special Operations Team members immediately fell silent.
Gu Yunfan turned his head, his eyes darting around, not without some pretty Female Soldiers.
"Cough cough!" Murong Yan kicked him under the table, giving him a warning look.
Wei Zixia smiled at the sight.
Gu Yunfan chatted while eating, "Third Sister, are you really going on a mission tomorrow? I plan to take Our Mother, Sixth Sister, and Seventh Sister to Island City. If you have time, you should come along."
"I can't, I'm leaving tonight."
"Then when will you be back? We're staying in Island Cityfor a few days before returning to the Capital."
"That's a military secret, I can't tell you."
"Understood~ Third Sister, please be careful."
After lunch and a short rest, Wei Zixia took her family to the Ghost Assault Team camp, preparing to spar with Gu Yunfan.
Chapter 97: Third Princess Invites Gu Yunfan to a Martial Arts Match, Shocking the Entire Audience!
"Hello, Guard~, have you eaten, Guard~?"
"Hello, Aunt Jiang, long time no see."
"Guard, are these three your siblings?"
Upon arriving at the Ghost Commando Team, a dozen or so members, both male and Female Soldiers, came to greet them. This was a mixed-gender commando squadron, consisting of three platoons, each with three squads, totaling over 100 special forces soldiers.
"Yes, some of you have met my mother, so I won't introduce her further."
Wei Zixia pointed to Gu Yunfan, "This is my Eighth Brother. I'm telling you, he knows real kung fu, and his strength is impressive. Who wants to spar with him later? To test your training results."
"Your Eighth Brother also knows kung fu?"
A Female Soldier sized up Gu Yunfan, "How about we give it a try? Don't be scared, it's just a friendly match, I won't hurt you."
"No rush, we'll compete at the beach training ground later."
Wei Zixia then introduced her two younger sisters, and then went to the dormitory to change out of her casual clothes and into camouflage training uniform. When she came out again, all the squadron members had gathered to watch the fun.
"Mom, are you tired? Why don't you go to my dorm and sleep for a while? I'll take Eighth Brother, Sixth Sister, and Seventh Sister to the beach."
"It's fine, I'll go with you."
"Are you afraid I'll hurt your baby son? Don't worry, I'll go easy on him."
"Ha~, don't underestimate him, you might not be his match~"
"Impossible. If Fourth Sister lost to him, it's because Fourth Sister's skills were inferior. So what if she's a Sanda champion? Our commando team members are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Every soldier is a beast selected through layers of selection from various companies. Any one of them is a master among masters."
Wei Zixia was full of confidence. She had seen the sparring videos of Gu Yunfan with Amiya and the Bodyguard, and admitted he was a kung fu master.
However, she was the acknowledged Female War God of the entire Special Operations Team. Since joining the army, she had never lost. In terms of strength and physique, she might not be as good as some male special forces soldiers, but in terms of practical combat techniques, no one could rival her.
Amiya was a Criminal Police Officer, focusing on grappling to apprehend Criminals, while Wei Zixia was a special forces soldier, specifically executing high-risk national missions with the goal of eliminating enemies. Her abilities in both combat and firearms were far superior to Amiya's.
"Yunfan, did you hear what your Third Sister said? You have to do your best~" Jiang Yujun also wanted to see who would be superior.
Murong Yan urged impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, quickly to the beach training ground for the match!"
Wei Zixia gave a look to the Deputy Captain, signaling him to lead all the team members to the beach training ground to watch the match.
The Deputy Captain put a whistle to his lips and blew, making a chirping sound: "First Platoon, Second Platoon, Third Platoon, assemble! Objective: Beach Training Ground!"
Boom—
Over 100 team members quickly assembled and ran neatly towards the beach.
Wei Zixia walked with her family to the beach.
"Wow~~, what a blue sea, beautiful~"
Murong Yan put on her hat and wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket. The winter sea breeze whipped across her face, feeling like knife cuts.
"Godmother, Xi Xi, you two put on your hats too, be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu Yunfan took a black slouchy beanie from his pocket and raised his hand to put it on his Godmother's head.
[interaction value +6]
"Thank you, Darling~" Jiang Yujun linked arms with Gu Yunfan, stepping onto the soft sand, walking forward with each step sinking a little.
The waves crashed against the shore, making slapping sounds.
So beautiful... Jiang Ruoxi instinctively put her hand into her pocket, wanting to pull out her phone to take a picture. Huh? Where's my phone? Oh right, it was confiscated at the camp entrance. Look at my memory.
Gu Yunfan looked around. Logs, sandbags, tires, oil drums, single-plank bridges, low-crawl nets, wavy obstacle walls, and other training equipment and facilities came into view, not much different from scenes in military dramas.
"Eyes right—!"
"Eyes front—!"
"Count off!"
"1, 2, 3..."
"Reporting, Guard! 108 personnel due, 108 personnel present, please give instructions!"
"Parade rest!"
Wei Zixia put on her sunglasses, raised a megaphone, and solemnly said, "Today, our squadron has guests. One of them possesses extraordinary skills and excellent combat abilities. Everyone present is a rare master among thousands. Who is willing to come out and spar?"
"Reporting, Guard! I request to fight!" The Female Soldierfrom earlier raised her hand and responded.
"Step forward!"
"Yes!"
The Female Soldier took a big step and stood in front of the team.
Wei Zixia looked at Gu Yunfan, "Comrade Yunfan, please~"
"Go, Old Eight!" Murong Yan clapped her hands.
The Deputy Captain shouted, "Everyone, give them some applause and encouragement!"
Clap clap clap clap clap... The entire audience applauded.
Gu Yunfan unzipped his down jacket, took it off, and handed it to his Godmother, "Guard, how about we switch to a male soldier? I'm afraid I'll hurt this Little older sister."
Haha... Laughter broke out among the audience.
"Little brother, don't underestimate her. Although she's a Female Soldier, she's more formidable than many male soldiers."
"That's right, she once single-handedly took on ten male marines and easily defeated them. She's nicknamed 'Little Tiger Shark'. Be careful, she might eat you up."
"Haha..."
The Special Operations Team members burst into laughter.
Gu Yunfan walked forward with a smile: "Alright then, it would be disrespectful to decline. Ladies first, Little older sister, you make the first move~"
Boom—
Without another word, the Female Soldier threw a punch.
Oh my god—
Murong Yan's face immediately showed tension. She grabbed Jiang Ruoxi's small hand and whispered, "So fast..."
Before her words finished, with a bang, the Female Soldier fell onto the sand. The next second, Gu Yunfanwas seen kneeling beside her, pinning her down.
???
The entire audience was startled, and then fell silent.
Was... was she instantly defeated?
"What happened, what happened??"
"Did the young man get knocked down??"
The Special Operations Team members standing in the back couldn't see clearly, so they stood on their tiptoes, stretched their necks, and peered forward.
The members in the front row replied in disbelief, "It's our person who got knocked down by the young man..."
"What???"
"Really???"
The back row was in chaos.
"Quiet!" The Deputy Captain was a bit stunned.
Wei Zixia's eagle eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, were full of astonishment. Her raised chin slowly lowered. Many team members hadn't seen Gu Yunfan's movements clearly, but she had seen everything.
Gu Yunfan first grabbed the Female Soldier's wrist, then tripped her with his right foot, pinning her down. The entire process took less than 1 second, a shocking speed.
"Oh yeah—, Old Eight won!!"
Murong Yan jumped up excitedly, "Mom, Mom! Did you see that?? Old Eight won with just one move!!"
Jiang Yujun had seen Gu Yunfan's kung fu before, but seeing it again now, she was still surprised. Is my Godsontoo strong? Or did the Female Soldier not perform well?
The Female Soldier lying on the sand had a bewildered expression. What happened?? How did I fall?
"Little older sister, are you okay?" Gu Yunfan got up and extended his hand, "You've been too kind~"
"I lost?" The Female Soldier reached out and was pulled up by Gu Yunfan. She said awkwardly, "Reporting, Guard, I just made a mistake. Please give me another chance!"
Wei Zixia wiggled her fingers, agreeing.
Whoosh—
The Female Soldier launched a low leg sweep, attacking Gu Yunfan's lower body.
Bang!
The Female Soldier was once again pinned to the sand by Gu Yunfan.
Cough cough cough—
The Deputy Captain's scalp tingled with embarrassment.
The Special Operations Team members were dumbfounded.
"If the first time was a mistake... this time it can't still be a mistake, can it?"
"Damn it... two instant kills in a row... this young man is really amazing..."
"How embarrassing... so embarrassing..."
The murmurs of the team members reached the Female Soldier's ears. Enraged, she roared, "Again!!!"
The moment Gu Yunfan released her, the Female Soldiersuddenly hugged his waist, determined to tackle him down.
Bang!
Oh, for heaven's sake—
Instantly defeated again... and got a mouthful of sand... The entire audience was shocked!
The Female Soldier was completely subdued.
Wei Zixia's cheeks flushed. She shouted, "Send in three male soldiers!"
Boom—
Three male soldiers rushed out from the first row.
Chapter 98: I regret it so much... Why did I ever take him as my Godson...? Bang bang bang—
The three male soldiers were instantly defeated again, sprawling in different directions after a solid fall.
The entire audience was dumbfounded!
The arrogance in Wei Zixia's eyes beneath her sunglasses was long gone. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she absolutely wouldn't have believed it.
Oh my god... Is this kid really this strong?
When I watched the sparring videos of him, Fourth Sister, and the Bodyguard before... it wasn't this exaggerated... He must have held back then, right?
You held back way too much... Just as she thought, Gu Yunfan had indeed held back previously. He possessed Master-level Evolved Jeet Kune Do, and his genes had been upgraded and strengthened. His eight major physical attributes—strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance, etc.—far surpassed ordinary people, making his combat power exceed human limits.
If he didn't hold back, let alone three Special Forces soldiers, even ten, twenty, or all the Special Forces soldiers present attacking together might not be his match.
"Send up ten more male soldiers!!" Wei Zixia waved her hand decisively.
Boom—
Although only ten male soldiers were requested, fifteen rushed out.
Swish—Bang————
Whoosh whoosh—Bang bang————
Knee kicks, backfists, stepping side kicks, Great Dragon Tail Swing... Gu Yunfan had no flashy routines, only the Jeet Kune Do philosophy of "using the shortest distance and fastest speed" for a killing blow. Every move was lethal, but he held back; if he used his full strength, his opponents would be crippled.
"Ow..."
"Holy crap—"
"Bang bang bang—"
The fifteen Special Forces soldiers successively fell onto the beach, howling in pain.
The entire Special Operations Team felt a chill run down their spines, their faces turning pale!
Murong Yan's jaw was half-dropped. She held Jiang Ruoxi with one hand and linked arms with her mother with the other, too shocked to speak.
Jiang Yujun's big heart thumped excitedly. When they sparred at home, she thought she had seen her Godson's true ability, but she hadn't expected him to be so unfathomable... Wei Zixia stood beside her mother, motionless like a statue. Gu Yunfan had completely overturned her worldview, far exceeding her comprehension... "Thank you for the match, everyone~"
Gu Yunfan helped the male soldiers up one by one. "Sorry about that, are you hurt?"
"N-no..."
The male soldiers looked at him as if they had seen a great white shark, nervous and terrified.
"Third Sister... oh no, Captain Wei, are we still sparring?"
Gu Yunfan, whose face wasn't red and who wasn't out of breath, asked, "How about we stop here?"
"Mhm..." Wei Zixia was a little afraid to spar with Gu Yunfan, but since she was already here and had been looking forward to it for so long, not sparring would leave her with regret. She secretly adjusted her breathing and pretended to be calm, saying, "Let's you and I spar."
"Let's forget it. I definitely can't beat you."
They were family, and Gu Yunfan didn't want to embarrass Third Sister in front of the Special Operations Team. As the Assault Team Captain, if she lost to a university student, how could she lead her team in the future?
"Student Gu is being too modest. Please."
Wei Zixia took off her sunglasses and hat, revealing neat and sharp short hair.
Wow~
That short hair is really cool~
Gu Yunfan's eyes lit up.
Wei Zixia dug her toes into the sand and warmed up her fists and feet. "First, let's be clear: you are not allowed to hold back, or I won't forgive you!"
"I wouldn't dare~ Captain Wei, you overestimate me. Please go easy on me~"
Gu Yunfan bounced back and forth on his feet, practicing the Jeet Kune Do Shuffle Step.
Whoosh—
Wei Zixia suddenly used the back of her foot to kick up sand. Just as Gu Yunfan turned sideways and raised his hand to block the sand, she rushed forward with a punch, clearly moving faster than her team members.
Impressive—
Gu Yunfan deliberately slowed his rhythm while dodging. With a dull thud, Wei Zixia's punch landed squarely on his abdomen.
Ah, oww—
Gu Yunfan staggered back a few steps, clutching his stomach and crouching on the beach, his expression twisting in pain.
"baby!!" Jiang Yujun's eyes widened in alarm. She rushed forward to help him up. "baby, are you alright??"
"Huh?? Eighth... Eighth Brother got punched right away??" Murong Yan and Jiang Ruoxi also ran up to help him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Gu Yunfan gave Wei Zixia a thumbs-up. "As expected of the Special Operations Team Captain, you're truly incredible!"
"Stop that! I told you not to hold back!"
"I really didn't hold back... I didn't expect you to use the sand to confuse me... And your speed is incredibly fast... I couldn't even react... I admit defeat wholeheartedly..."
"Admit defeat my foot! This isn't your real skill level! Do you think I can't tell? You held back against Fourth Sisterbefore, and now you're holding back against me. I know what you're thinking—you don't want to embarrass me in front of my team members, right?"
Wei Zixia saw right through him. "If you let me win, that is what truly embarrasses me, because it's an unfair victory, and it will make my team members look down on me. We are soldiers; we don't fear sacrifice, so why would we fear losing? Stand up! Please use your full strength! What I need is not your concession, but your respect!"
"Look at you, I really didn't hold back." Gu Yunfan was helped up by his Godmother and two older sisters. "Alright, alright, let's continue the match."
"baby, be careful." Jiang Yujun turned and instructed Wei Zixia, "Go easy on him; don't hurt your little brother."
"I know, now hurry up and move away!"
After her mother and two younger sisters stepped back, Wei Zixia attacked again, first feinting a kick to test him out, then looking for an opportunity to strike.
Crackle crackle... The two exchanged blows, a punch for a kick, evenly matched with no clear winner.
"Gu Yunfan!! You're still holding back, aren't you??" Wei Zixia pressed closer, her moves becoming increasingly fierce.
However, Gu Yunfan was always able to easily neutralize her attacks. "You truly overestimate me... I'm not holding back..."
The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, lasting over twenty minutes, yet the deadlock remained unbroken.
Murong Yan's legs ached from standing, so she plopped down onto the beach, shaking her head and complaining, "How long are these two going to spar? It's freezing by the sea."
Jiang Ruoxi whispered, "Tell me... is Gu Yunfan holding back against Third Sister?"
"Definitely. Eighth Brother can easily defeat over a dozen male Special Forces soldiers, yet he's struggling so much against Third Sister? Who would believe that?"
Murong Yan tugged on her mother's down jacket. "Mom, why don't you convince them to stop? Even if it's a draw."
"Your Third Sister won't listen. Don't you know her personality? She's stubborn."
Jiang Yujun held her Godson's clothes, quietly enjoying their duel. The more she watched, the more she liked Gu Yunfan... I regret it so much... Why did I ever take him as my Godson...? Cousin was right... I shouldn't have recognized him as family... I should have... Cough cough... Jiang Yujun, what nonsense are you thinking...? A loud bang jolted Jiang Yujun awake.
Jiang Yujun blinked her fox-like eyes and saw Third Princess using the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Python Choke to entangle Gu Yunfan. The two were grappling on the beach, locked in an embrace.
Huh... What are they doing?
This scene reminded Murong Yan of the time Gu Yunfansparred with Amiya. Back then, Amiya tried to take down Gu Yunfan using a Scissor Lock but accidentally ended up kissing him.
These two didn't kiss... but they were hugging and rolling around on the beach... Is this... is this appropriate?
Could Gu Yunfan, that pervert, be deliberately taking advantage of the situation?
How shameless... "Oh no! Third Sister and Gu Yunfan are about to roll into the sea!" Jiang Ruoxi exclaimed.
Jiang Yujun quickly ran over to stop them. "Alright, alright, it's the middle of winter, the seawater is freezing! Don't get wet and catch a cold. Zi Xia, let go of your little brother!"
Murong Yan, Jiang Ruoxi, and the Special Operations Team members also rushed over, persuading the two to stop.
Chapter 99: What Wife? That's His Godmother!
Jiang Yujun and her two daughters pulled Gu Yunfanaway, while the Special Operations Team members pulled Wei Zixia, finally separating the two who were tightly embracing.
[interaction value +37]
"The sparring ends here. You two are tied." Jiang Yujungave her daughter a way out.
Wei Zixia kicked Gu Yunfan in the butt: "You bastard! I told you not to go easy on me, but you still did!"
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me..." Gu Yunfanpretended to be exhausted, panting heavily.
Wei Zixia knew perfectly well that Gu Yunfan was determined to let her win, and continuing the match was pointless. She was very clear on how strong Gu Yunfanwas, and she admired him immensely.
"Mom, why don't we let Eighth Brother stay? This kid is a top master; if he stays in the military, his future will be limitless."
"Enough with that. Your Eldest Sister, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister argue with me over him every day, and now it's your turn. I'm telling you clearly, it's impossible."
Jiang Yujun bent down and brushed the sand off her Godson's pant leg, "Yunfan is the future heir of the Jiang Group. None of you should think about snatching him away from me."
"Sigh! What a pity, what a pity~"
Wei Zixia straightened her camouflage uniform and thumped Gu Yunfan's chest, "Good kid, you really are a super all-around genius. Sister admits defeat."
"Guard is too modest. We tied, remember~"
"Hmph." Wei Zixia shook her head, turned to face all the team members, and addressed them: "Did everyone see that? There's always someone better out there, and a stronger hand within the strong. So, don't be so arrogant in the future. Be sure to train diligently and don't disgrace the Special Forces! Now listen to my command, everyone! Practice martial arts in squads!"
"Yes!"
The entire Special Operations Team, having witnessed a top master, immediately felt inferior and resolved to strive harder, pouncing on their opponents like fierce tigers.
Wei Zixia brought her family back to the camp area to drink tea and catch up. They chatted until the sun set.
"Mom, Eighth Brother, Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, I need to prepare for a mission tonight, so I won't keep you."
"Alright, be careful. We'll be staying in Island City for a few days. If your mission is over, come find us." Jiang Yujun hugged Wei Zixia.
"Mm..." Wei Zixia then hugged Gu Yunfan, "Eighth Brother, take good care of Our Mother and your Sisters. With you as the pillar of the family, I have no worries..."
No worries?
Gu Yunfan felt that Third Sister's tone was strange... like she was saying goodbye... Wei Zixia continued to hug Murong Yan, whispering in her ear: "If I'm not mistaken... you and Eighth Brother are dating, right... Don't be nervous... If you like him, just love him boldly... Life is short... Don't leave regrets... Take care of Our Mother... Pay more attention to her usually..."
"I know, Third Sister..." Murong Yan nervously glanced at Mom.
Wei Zixia finally hugged Jiang Ruoxi and said the same things she said to Murong Yan. Jiang Ruoxi was perceptive and also felt that Third Sister was acting somewhat strangely.
Watching her family get into the car and drive away, Wei Zixia waved, her eyes filled with deep reluctance. This mission was extremely dangerous, and she had a bad feeling that something might happen.
However, as a soldier, she had long disregarded life and death. Since the day she enlisted, she had been prepared to sacrifice herself for the country at any moment.
She just couldn't bear to leave her family, especially Our Mother, who cared for her so much. Now she had one more concern, which was Eighth Brother.
Before meeting Gu Yunfan, she was fine; her feelings for him were vague and unfamiliar.
After the sparring match, their feelings quickly intensified. Recalling the scene of Gu Yunfan holding her and rolling on the beach, a hint of sweetness arose in her heart. But watching the car drive further and further away, sadness welled up.
"Godmother, don't you think Third Sister is acting weird?"
Gu Yunfan looked back and saw Wei Zixia, dressed in her military uniform, still standing in place.
"She? She definitely doesn't want us to leave." Jiang Yujun actually felt it too.
"What mission is Third Sister going to execute? Is it very dangerous?" Gu Yunfan curiously asked.
"That's a military secret, I wouldn't know. Her missions are always quite dangerous, but thankfully she always returns safely."
As a military family member, Jiang Yujun had long been prepared for the worst. Wei Zixia's job was more dangerous than Amiya's, and her third daughter was the one she worried about the most.
Gu Yunfan wondered if the Divine Doctor-level Chinese Medicine Skill the System had previously rewarded him with, which hadn't been used yet, was going to be needed for Third Sister?
Please no... I'd rather never have to use it than have something happen to my family.
"Don't worry, Eighth Brother. Good people are blessed by heaven~"
Murong Yan looked at the sunset outside the window, "Where are we going next?"
"I'll take you to the night market street to eat seafood."
"It's still early, and I'm not hungry yet. How about we go see your house first? I'm especially curious about it~"
"That works~" Gu Yunfan sought his Godmother's opinion, "What do you say, Godmother?"
"You're the host, I'll follow your arrangements~"
"Alright!"
The military vehicle drove out of the camp area. The group transferred to their own motorcade, left Mount Lao, and drove along Binhai Avenue toward the city center.
"Wow~, the night view of Island City is so beautiful~"
Murong Yan and Jiang Ruoxi kept taking pictures with their phones.
When the motorcade reached the Trestle Bridge, it turned up a hillside. The roads in Island City are different from those in Capital City. Capital City's roads are straight and square, generally laid out like a chessboard, wide and long, whereas Island City is located in the Jiaodong Peninsula hilly area, with many slopes, narrow roads, and dense alleys.
Jiang Ruoxi looked around curiously.
The motorcade finally stopped in front of an old civilian house located on Comic Street.
"Oh my, the walls on this street are all painted with comics~" Jiang Ruoxi's eyes sparkled, "It's so beautiful~"
Jiang Yujun introduced, "This is the famous Comic Streetof Island City, a popular internet celebrity check-in spot."
"Wow, so you live here! I came here when I was filming before!" Murong Yan excitedly pulled Jiang Ruoxi out of the car.
Just as Gu Yunfan led his Godmother out, he was recognized by the neighbors on Comic Street.
"Hey? Isn't that the Gu Family Kid?"
"Which one? No way... you must be seeing things... he looks even handsomer than Yunfan... he just looks similar... judging by his aura and dress... he looks like a rich young master... and the beauty he's holding is even more noble... she looks like his wife..."
"What wife? That's his Godmother! Asia's richest woman—President of Jiang Group, Jiang Yujun!"
"What did you say?? Jiang Yujun is Gu Yunfan's Godmother??"
"You don't know yet? It's been circulating online for ages; the two recognized each other as family."
"Oh my god! This, this, this... the Old Gu Family's ancestral grave is smoking black!"
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and take a look!"
"Old Liu, Old Li, come out quickly, a big shot is here!"
"Aunt Zhang, Sister-in-law Wang, stop what you're doing, Asia's richest woman Jiang Yujun is here!"
The neighbors' exclamations drew the attention of passersby and tourists, and sudden screams erupted from the crowd as young men and Little older Sisters excitedly gathered around.
