ger to all kinds of beauties throwing themselves into his arms. Some want to try and secure resources for themselves, and others just want a piece of the pie.Having met this man in a past life, Gu Ke...He almost… he almost lost the girl in his arms.

At this moment, he finally understood why Ou Yang Chu had such a flustered look. The girl in his arms carried the familiar sweet fragrance of fruit, so refreshing and delightful.

He couldn't help but rest his chin on the girl's head, rubbing it gently. This brought an instant stiffness from Zhou Shuangqing.

"Brother Puyu, please let me go…"

Zhou Shuangqing gradually came back to her senses from that hazy atmosphere, instinctively wanting to push away Pu Yun Gu Xia.

Unexpectedly, he hugged her even tighter, his chin still stubbornly resting on top of her head.

"Will you be my girlfriend"

Zhou Shuangqing gasped, she had indeed imagined countless times in her mind what her reaction would be if Pu Yun Guxia confessed to her.

But she was just daydreaming after all. Hearing such a confession in reality suddenly gave her a huge shock.

She had no idea what to choose.

It's undeniable that he's fallen for Puyun Gusha, but deep down, he knows Puyun Gusha may not feel the same way about him.

Then, is it better to have never had it, or to have had it and then lost it

"I..."

Zhou Shuangqing could only sob out a word before bursting into tears.

She was simply a naive little girl, incapable of making rational decisions.

Besides, because of today's events, I'm already on the verge of being overwhelmed. I really don't want to think about the hardships I might face.

"It's terrifying... I was just locked up in a cage in the basement out of nowhere! Like an animal! And those menacing bodyguards..."

Zhou Shuangqing cried and shouted, as if trying to release all the pressure in her heart.

"Even you are bullying me now! You're not serious about me, why come to make fun of me! Are you happy seeing me like this!"

Zhou Shuangqing originally just wanted to vent, but unexpectedly, she went further and further astray, even blaming Pu Yun Gu Xia.

Puyun Gushan's heart ached so much she could barely breathe when she heard this.

He, of course, knew how chaotic his love history was and also knew that to Zhou Shuangqing, his sincerity was incredibly unreliable.

But even after hearing her question him so directly, he still found it difficult to control his heartache.

"No... I'm serious about you..."

Zhou Shuangqing apparently couldn't hear anything, just burying her head in Pu Yun Gu Xia's arms and crying incessantly.

Puyun Gu Xia simply stopped defending herself and silently caressed Zhou Shuangqing's back, offering comfort.

In the study, Ouyang Chu could no longer contain his excitement. He pressed Xu Zui Ning onto the chair and kissed her passionately.

Maybe only this kind of close contact, can remind Ouyang Chu moment by moment that he hasn't lost her yet.

Soon, even Ou Yang Chu regained his senses under Xu Zui Ning's struggle. Now was far from the time to do such things.

"Let's go outside first. We can't just keep them waiting out here!"

Xu Zui Ning was actually still a little worried about Zhou Shuang Qing. After all, she had lived two lifetimes and wasn't as naive as someone her age. She was afraid that Zhou Shuang Qing might not be able to handle it.

Just a slight glance between the two was enough to understand each other's intentions. Ou Yang Chu only nodded slightly.

Two people walked out of the study, one after the other. They saw Zhou Shuangqing buried in Puyu Gu Xia's arms outside the study, crying. Perhaps they heard the sound of the door opening, Zhou Shuangqing looked up with misty eyes.

Seeing Xu Zui'ning's slightly furrowed brows, Zhou Shuangqing only then came to her senses. Her face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly gently pulled away from Pu Yun Gu Xia's embrace.

Puyun Gu Xia was still intoxicated by the softness of the little girl in his arms when he was suddenly pulled away. He instinctively turned back.

Then he met Ouyang Chu's face, a sinister, menacing scowl.

He clearly saw the warning in Ou Yang Chu's eyes. He had reminded him before at school not to provoke Xu Zui Ning's friends.

Puyun Gu Xia spread her hands and shrugged.

"You guys finished talking so quickly"

Puyun Gu Xia was still as nonchalant as ever, not a trace of the deep affection he had shown towards Zhou Shuangqing just moments ago.

Xu Zui'ning looked at him like this, her face immediately turned cold.

She took two steps forward, subtly parting the crowd of Pu Yun Gu Xia, and stood directly beside Zhou Shuangqing.

"Mr. Pu Yun, please be careful of yourself."

Zhou Shuangqing realized that Xu Zui'ning had misunderstood the two of them, so she hurriedly gently tugged on Xu Zui'ning's sleeve.

"Senior Puyu only comforted me, we didn't…"

Xu Zui Ning let out a disdainful cold snort. She disliked people playing with emotions like this. Previously, she hadn't restricted the two of them from contacting each other because she originally thought that Pu Yun Gu Xia was serious about Zhou Shuang Qing.

Who would have thought, looking at him like this now, that he probably never truly cared in the first place.

A trace of imperceptible hurt flashed across Puyu's ancient summer eyes, but he still wore his usual carefree smile.

"There's nothing between us."

He raised his hands in surrender and then immediately asked.

"You guys came up with a plan in such a short time This capture was pretty dangerous, there has to be a follow-up plan, right"

Xu Zui'ning's face flushed slightly. She had just been discussing countermeasures with Ou Yangchu in the study...

“I already have a preliminary idea, at the time I heard Wei Mozhe and Mrs. Yie Yvette's voices from behind that wall.”

When he heard this, Ou Yang Chu's face changed instantly. Although he knew that this time Xu Zui Ning being kidnapped was extremely dangerous, he never expected it to be Iyevette who had taken action herself.

"I heard her say that Wei Moze was a pervert or something like that. I'm not really sure what she meant exactly. They also mentioned another boy besides me... I thought about it, and it must have been my younger brother."

"Could they have even figured this out already"

Puyun Gu Xia couldn't help but frown. The combined power of the OuYang family and the Puyun family was unmatched on the entire continent, yet they couldn't even overpower a mere Iyevet

They had no leads at all, yet the other party had already investigated to the point of wanting to arrest them

"Listening to how they're talking, they probably haven't found anyone yet."

Xu Zui Ning shook her head, the gap between them shouldn't be this big. It was just that the other party knew more secrets.

"If he wants to open a passage connecting the two continents, my brother and I should be his only hope right now."

"So the top priority is still to find your brother, right"stared blankly at Gu Keyu for a long time, until the customs officials began to urge him, that he pulled out a warm smile towards Gu Keyu, the smile carried a hint of reluctance and comfort, and some...
