Chapter 82: Why Does This Milk Taste Different from Usual?

Half an hour later, Jiang Che and Gu Yunqi descended the stairs together.

Gu Zhengde had gone to his study to handle some documents, leaving only Gu Yunxi alone on the sofa.

“Sister, you’ve been snacking again!” Gu Yunxi accused her sister upon noticing the white residue at the corner of Gu Yunqi’s mouth, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance.

She was certain her sister had secretly indulged in some delicious treat without her!

“What are you talking about? I didn’t snack on anything...” Gu Yunqi, puzzled, looked at Gu Yunxi, not understanding what she was getting at.

“You’re still denying it? Look, what is this?” Gu Yunxi walked over to Gu Yunqi, raised her foot, and with her fair little hand, wiped her sister’s mouth.

“See, you can’t say you didn’t snack!” Gu Yunxi said, and then put her finger into her mouth...

“The taste is so strange...” Gu Yunxi said, furrowing her brows. This didn’t taste like the milk she usually drank.

Watching her sister’s actions, Gu Yunqi felt a mix of embarrassment and anger, her face turning beet red. This little girl, she eats everything! And that scoundrel Jiang Che didn’t even bother to remind her!

Gu Yunqi wiped her mouth and then fiercely pinched Jiang Che at his waist.

Jiang Che, appearing indifferent, kept his gaze steady. This infuriated Gu Yunqi even more. How could he be so shameless?

At this moment, Gu Zhengde came out of the study,

smiling at Jiang Che. “Young Master Jiang, the family banquet is ready. Please, take a seat.”

“Okay.” Jiang Che responded with a slight smile and sat down at the dining table.

Gu Zhengde had his servants bring out his treasured Feitian Moutai and personally poured a cup for Jiang Che. “This bottle was saved from my wedding, nearly thirty years ago.”

“It must taste great. Please, Young Master Jiang, have a taste.” Gu Zhengde said, his words tinged with sentimentality.

Jiang Che looked at him in surprise, finding it hard to believe that this benevolent-looking old man was the same “Gu Tiger” who had once dominated Linjiang City twenty years ago.

It seemed that since retiring, Gu Zhengde’s entire personality had changed. Gone was the ruthless decisiveness of his youth, replaced by a more benevolent demeanor.

“This liquor is rich and mellow, less fiery, more gentle. Indeed, a fine wine.” Jiang Che praised after sipping the liquor. Before his transmigration, he often drank due to social obligations and had developed quite a tolerance.

“Thank you for today, Young Master Jiang, I toast to you...”

“Mr. Gu, you’re too kind...”

The two of them continuously toasted each other, enjoying a harmonious meal. Through this dinner, Gu Zhengde completely changed his view of Jiang Che.

...

He believed that with his continuous hard work, he would eventually move the Zhou family, including Zhou Lingxi.

Even though he was the leader of Shura Hall, he could’ve revealed his identity to stop Liu Qin from looking down on him. But Xiao Fan didn’t want that.

He wished to slowly change Zhou Lingxi’s heart with his profound love, believing she would someday realize he was the best person for her in this world.

“I’ll see my wife Lingxi tomorrow...” Just thinking of Zhou Lingxi’s peerless beauty brought a silly smile to Xiao Fan’s face.

“I really don’t understand what the old family head saw in this waste.” Watching Xiao Fan’s retreating figure, Liu Qin shook her head in disbelief. It wasn’t that she looked down on him, but he was indeed useless.

No background, no education, not even a family, and after marrying Lingxi, he’d been nothing but a house cleaner. She couldn’t fathom why the old family head insisted on Lingxi marrying such a loser.

“You useless son-in-law, where is my foot-bathing water!”

“Coming......”

...

The next day, noon, Jiang Family.

“Your injuries are almost healed; it’s time for me to leave.” In Jiang Yun’er’s room, Zhou Lingxi said with a smile.

“Leave? Sister, are you going back to the Imperial Capital? Won’t you stay a few more days?” Jiang Yun’er tilted her head, looking puzzled at Zhou Lingxi.

“I’m going to my senior sister’s place, not returning home for now.” Zhou Lingxi frowned slightly, her face clouding with displeasure at the thought of going home. Why go home to get irritated by Xiao Fan?

“Oh.” Jiang Yun’er nodded and then grabbed Zhou Lingxi’s arm, grinning.

“When you’re with senior sister, can you probe her feelings for me?”

“Do you really like Jiang Che?” Zhou Lingxi looked at Jiang Yun’er curiously, thinking she was just being whimsical. After all, Jiang Yun’er was only eighteen and might naturally yearn for love.

“Of course, I genuinely like him!” Jiang Yun’er frowned slightly, looking somewhat annoyed. Was her second senior sister doubting her sincerity?

“I’ll try to find out for you.” Zhou Lingxi shook her head, dismissing the jumbled thoughts in her mind. After all, it was Jiang Yun’er’s own affair, not her place to interfere.

“Hehe, thank you, second senior sister.” Jiang Yun’er’s face lit up with a smile, sending Zhou Lingxi off.

After watching Zhou Lingxi leave, Jiang Yun’er returned to her room.

“Brother probably likes these kinds of clothes...” She muttered to herself, looking at the Lolita dresses, skirts, and various white stockings filling her wardrobe.

The last time she saw Jiang Che, she noticed his glances often straying towards her legs. She had read online that some men liked these things... It seemed Jiang Che was one of them.

“Maybe I should get white hair, be a white-haired Lolita?” With a plan in mind, Jiang Yun’er quickly acted on it, heading to a nearby upscale hair salon.

After all, which man could resist a soft, cute, white-haired Lolita?
