Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 135 The Scorching Sun (34 pages)

Qi Xuan looked at the person who rolled down the car window; that face was still so repulsive.

His innate instinct to protect Gu Yao, developed since childhood, made him stand up and block Gu Yao's view, preventing Butler Zhou from scrutinizing him.

That gaze, like that of someone scrutinizing merchandise, was so sticky it was nauseating.

Butler Zhou sighed slightly as he watched Qi Xuan's protective behavior and then looked at Qi Xuan.

"Young Master, the Patriarch is already waiting."

Qi Xuan turned to look at Gu Yao. The boy's face was pale and flustered, and he was frozen like a statue.

Something is clearly wrong.

The boy's gaze did not fall on Qi Xuan in front of him, but instead bypassed the young man and looked at the butler in the car.

Butler Zhou's gaze met the boy's through Qi Xuan's eyes, remaining as calm as ever, yet tinged with disdain.

It was as if they looked down on the boy.

Qi Xuan looked at the boy with fear and resentment in his eyes, his lips trembling slightly. He quickly grabbed the boy's shoulders, trying to bring him back to his senses.

The boy is in the same state as he was a few years ago.

"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, what's wrong?"

The boy stiffly turned his neck to look at the worried young man in front of him, and suddenly grabbed the young man's arm, "Don't go."

Once I leave, I won't be the person I used to know anymore.

Gu Yao still remembered that in her previous life, before her mother fell seriously ill, Qi Xuan was called back by the Qi family, and when he returned, something was wrong.

He didn't want Qi Xuan to go.

Qi Xuan frowned as he looked at Gu Yao, who seemed to be in an abnormal state. Just then, Butler Zhou's voice interrupted at an inopportune moment.

"Young Master, this is the patriarch's order."

Qi Xuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

He turned to look at Zhou Jin, "Then A Yao doesn't need to go, right? I'll go alone. I'll explain to Qi Jin."

Upon hearing Qi Xuan address Qi Jin, Butler Zhou frowned and was about to say something when Qi Xuan raised his hand to interrupt him.

He stared directly at Butler Zhou, his eyes narrowed, a palpable sense of pressure emanating from them. "Zhou Jin, don't forget, I am, after all, the only heir to the Qi family in name only."

Butler Zhou gave Qi Xuan a deep look and chose to remain silent.

After dealing with Butler Zhou, Qi Xuan turned around and began to soothe the boy's emotions.

"Ah Yao, let me take you home first."

Gu Yao looked at Qi Xuan, his eyes filled with too many emotions, making it impossible for Qi Xuan to understand him.

He didn't know why an eighteen-year-old boy could have such a deep sadness in his eyes.

Before Qi Xuan could see clearly, Gu Yao lowered his head to avoid his gaze and nodded silently.

Butler Zhou urged him on from the side, but Qi Xuan felt somewhat powerless.

A sense of powerlessness, a feeling that one's fate is not in one's own hands.

He pulled Gu Yao into the car. The boy still looked somewhat dazed, which worried Qi Xuan, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Qi Xuan pulled the boy into his arms, just like when he comforted a boy who was afraid of thunder when he was young, and gently patted the boy's back.

Her voice was gentle and patient, "A-Yao is alright, she's alright."

Gu Yao was lost in thought when he was suddenly pulled and fell into Qi Xuan's arms. The young man's embrace still carried an indescribable warmth, making Gu Yao feel at ease.

Qi Xuan's deep and gentle voice rang in his ears, and his hand gently stroked Gu Yao's back, slowly relaxing him.

He reached out and hugged Qi Xuan, ignoring the furrowed brows of the butler in the front seat.

The next storyline is about to begin; his sweet romance is about to end.

I need to give him a good hug.

Feeling the stiffness under his palm gradually relax, Qi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Butler Zhou, let's go back to Jiangbin Apartment first."

Butler Zhou turned to look at Qi Xuan, his eyes full of disapproval. "Young Master, the Patriarch is already waiting for you. You can stop him from going, but now you want to..." put this young man before the Patriarch in line.

Before Butler Zhou could finish speaking, Qi Xuan interrupted him with a look.

Butler Zhou: "..."

He looked at the boy nestled against the young man as if he were looking at some vixen who would bring ruin to the country.

Gu Yao, with his arms around Qi Xuan's neck, felt the gaze of Butler Zhou, turned to look at him, and gave him a provocative smile.

However, the moment was fleeting, and Gu Yao buried her head back into Qi Xuan's neck.

She nuzzled him gently, with a hint of coquetry in her voice.

Butler Zhou looked at Gu Yao, his eyes narrowing with a hint of hostility.

Before he could say anything, Qi Xuan gave him a warning look.

Seeing Qi Xuan pull the boy closer to him again, Butler Zhou knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he resignedly started the car and drove towards the Jiangbin Apartment.

As the car pulled up to the apartment building, Butler Zhou looked at the two people, their hands clasped tightly together, one tall and one short, nestled close together, and they looked remarkably harmonious.

When the word "perfect match" popped into his mind, Butler Zhou shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

After escorting him back to his room, Qi Xuan half-squatted down and looked at Gu Yao earnestly, "A Yao, wait for me at home, okay?"

Gu Yao looked at the person in front of him, reached out and grabbed Qi Xuan's sleeve, and shook his head, "Brother Xuan, can you not go?"

If you don't go, you'll stay the same forever.

It won't turn into something I don't recognize.

Qi Xuan saw that Gu Yao was somewhat embarrassed, so he reached out and patted Gu Yao's head. "I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's gaze immediately fell, and he lowered his eyes, saying nothing more.

He simply let go of Qi Xuan's sleeve.

Qi Xuan looked at Gu Yao with some concern. Before she could say anything, the young man in front of her looked up first.

"Brother Xuan, you can go now, I'm fine."

The boy's face wore a smile, yet it was tinged with deep bitterness.

But there's no time for him now. If this drags on any longer, who knows what that madman Qi Jin might do?

We can only wait until he comes back to discuss it.

Gu Yao noticed that Qi Xuan was still hesitating, so his smile widened, and with a hint of teasing, he pushed Qi Xuan toward the door, "Oh, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, let's go."

Qi Xuan turned to look at the boy and asked earnestly, "Are you really alright?"

Gu Yao seemed somewhat helpless, "It's really nothing."

Qi Xuan kept turning back to look at Gu Yao, who stood in front of the door, smiling as he watched Qi Xuan's figure disappear.

Once the apartment door closed, Gu Yao was left all alone in the entire apartment.

All that could be seen was emptiness and desolation.

Gu Yao's smile also faded.

The next plot point is coming soon!

Then we're not far from the truth.

His reborn identity should be made public now.

I've been having so much fun lately that I've almost forgotten about the important things.

Seeing Gu Yao deep in thought, 0529 didn't dare to disturb him.

He always felt that Gu Yao was up to something bad.
