Chapter 195: His Expression Was Unnerving

next semester.""Uncle, I brought you some delicious food when I came back from vacation."The security guard let out a derisive laugh and, as he looked up, saw the Ferrari parked by the pole. With a f...The next morning

Xu Yixue woke up early, tiptoed out of bed, and put on her pajamas before sneaking into the kitchen. She also told everyone else to leave and not go in. Gu Xicheng woke up and found that the woman was gone. There wasn't any sound of movement in the room, so he quickly got up, washed his face and changed his clothes, and went downstairs. He saw a group of maids standing in the kitchen, all peeking inside from outside.

Gu Xi Cheng went downstairs and walked over. Everyone made way for him. When he entered the kitchen, he saw a woman rolling out dough.

This woman can really do anything! She's not like a typical wealthy young lady who doesn't know how to cook.

Gu Xi Cheng walked over and reached out to take the rolling pin from her hand. Xu Yi Xue didn't even look at him before she jumped back, holding the stick and quickly dodged his hand. Seeing that it was him, she said, "No need."

She looked up at him, "I, I'll do it. Today you're the birthday star, no gifts prepared, I'll make you a longevity noodle."

Gu Xicheng glanced at her and smiled, "Isn't there already a gift"

Their oil painting, it was too simplistic. She stammered, “Well, uh, this one is also.”

She lowered her head and continued to roll out the dough, asking softly, "A-Xi, could you please go outside first I'll call you when I'm done. You see, it will affect my practice."

Gu Xi stared at her for a while, then raised his lips, "Okay."

She smiled faintly, assuring him, "I... I can do this myself."

Gu Xi Cheng patted her head, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

After Gu Xicheng left, Xu Yixue's movements became much more familiar and quicker. She sliced the dough into strips, dropped them into the pot, seasoned them, added meat, and then eggs.

In less than twenty minutes, she brought out a plate of longevity noodles and excitedly said to Gu Xicheng, who was sitting in the living room, "Try it."

Having set the table, she watched him eat the noodles with elegant grace, her eyes never leaving him. Unexpectedly, a surge of indescribable joy filled her heart.

Gu Xicheng put down his chopsticks, Xu Yixue took out a tissue and handed it to him. He took it and slowly wiped his lips, "Very good, I didn't expect Miss Xu's cooking skills to be so good."

Xu Yixue couldn't help but smile happily, revealing a few tiny teeth.

Gu Xi's eyes were filled with a smile, his sexy thin lips curving into a pleasant arc. His voice was low and deep, "There's no need to work so hard, you being here is already enough."

Xu Yixue shook her head. "Not hard at all, it's very simple."

"Happy birthday to you, where will you be celebrating Will it be outside or here"

I had never heard of where to spend my birthday before.

"We're just having a simple dinner at home today, they'll be coming over in the evening."

Her fingertips, cool and gentle, caressed her cheek. A hint of a smile played at the corner of his lips as he softly said, "Go upstairs and change your clothes. Come down for breakfast in a bit. I'll take you for a walk afterward."

"Good..."

Gu XiCheng walked slowly with her to the secret garden amidst the clouds beside Shui Zhuang, and holding her hand, he stepped into the small house.

Inside the little hut, silence fell. Her brows furrowed increasingly as she looked at Gu Xicheng, whose expression seemed out of sorts.

She was unaware of their family's affairs, he was so invincible.

It's estimated that the hardships he has endured are beyond what others can imagine.

"Xi Cheng, you go back to inherit the Gu family."

"Why should I care about the Gu family" The man's voice was cold and sharp, like a blade. He didn't even turn his head, nor did he acknowledge the old man before him. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes glinted with malice.

The elderly person: “Gu Shi was paid for with your parents' lives…”

The man glared at him, his eyes flashing with brutal anger.

"Go back to the Gu family, and you will get all the answers you seek…" The old man stared at him with fierce eyes, his voice raspy. There were things left unsaid, because the time was not right.

"Grandfather," he said in a low voice, his tone laced with suppressed anger but also an unwilling resignation. "Don't you fear that I will return and destroy the Gu family myself!"

That sound of "Ruined the Gu family" was like a sharp blade piercing the old man's heart.

When he was young, his parents died. His family members tried their best to stop him from investigating their deaths. Perhaps they were just trying to protect him.

"As you wish!" Looking at the old man's silence, these words came out from Gu XiCheng's teeth, sounding like they were overflowing from a millennia-old ice layer. Just hearing them sent chills and fear down one's spine.

Some things need to be investigated regardless of the outcome.

"Grandfather..." he called out to him again, his voice a low whisper, but this time it was laced with cruelty and murderous intent. "I only give the Gu family three years to live."

The elderly man, hearing this, staggered backward. He watched as Gu Xicheng drove past him and got into the car. He watched as the black car door opened in front of him and then closed, but he was powerless to stop it or argue.

He stood there, dazed. Cars whooshed past him, but he didn't react. Some things needed to be resolved. He had been too selfish in the past.

A year later, his grandfather passed away. Three years after that, the Gu family was ruined. For three years, Gu pretended to be incompetent, but he eventually discovered that there was a powerful force behind the Gu family's downfall. However, after Gu Shen became a vegetable, things came to a halt.

Gu Xi became unable to suppress the rage in his heart, and he gripped Xu Yi Xue's hand tighter and tighter.

He felt the strength in his wrist, and he knew he couldn't pull his hand out.

"Ouch!"reply, Huang Min-han added a bit more forcefully. 。Xu Yixue's expression tightened, her eyes half-closed: "Being raped by a man on the street, I guess she wouldn't dare to appear in the capital anymor...
