"Tong Keke, do you think this is funny? I’m your uncle." Gu Qianxi’s face turned even darker when he heard her call him Dean Gu. This little troublemaker had been getting more and more unruly lately. He truly felt like he was losing control over her.
"You’re not!" Tong Keke pouted. "You’re my dream guy."
"Keke, don’t forget your identity. You’re a student, and I’m your guardian." Gu Qianxi was both exasperated and amused, nearly at his wits’ end.
"So what if I’m a student? Students can’t have soone they like?" Tong Keke’s small face flickered with a hint of sadness.
Gu Qianxi sighed, not wanting to argue with her about this anymore. His tone was low. "Keke, take care of yourself. Uncle will co see you in a few days."
"I’ve already told you, stop coming! Every ti you show up, I get all flustered and anxious and can’t breathe properly." Tong Keke puffed her little chest after speaking and said, "Don’t believe ? Co and see for yourself!"
The little girl was clearly trying to flirt with him, and Gu Qianxi’s handso face turned bright red in an instant. Flustered and annoyed, he scolded her softly, "Tong Keke, show so self-respect!"
"Aren’t you a doctor? My heart’s racing right now, and I feel like I’m about to faint. Aren’t you going to help ?" Tong Keke’s eyes sparkled with mischief, and she didn’t know why, but teasing Gu Qianxi was her happiest joy of late.
"You... you’re impossible!" Gu Qianxi felt his chest tighten and his heartbeat quicken upon hearing her words.
He didn’t know if it was because of the way she deliberately puffed out her chest, but to his dismay, he suddenly noticed—she had grown... quite a bit.
This is insane. Why was he even paying attention to that?
Tong Keke watched as he awkwardly opened the car door and sat inside, slamming the door shut with a loud thud. The smile in her eyes had yet to fade when suddenly, a layer of mist clouded over them. Tears rolled down her cheeks in an instant.
Though Gu Qianxi had retreated to the car, he didn’t drive off right away. Looking through the window, he saw her small face, now pouring with tears like rain. His strong fra tensed up.
Finally, he pushed the car door open again and stepped out. His brows furrowed tightly, and his voice carried a much gentler tone. "Keke, do you know you’re driving Uncle crazy? Can you stop behaving like this, please?"
"What did I do? It’s not like I want this either. Do you think falling for you makes proud?" Tong Keke covered her mouth and started sobbing even harder. Then, she simply squatted down, burying her face in her arms.
Gu Qianxi didn’t care about appearances anymore and crouched down in front of her, reaching out to gently touch her head. "You can forget . I’ll send you abroad for school. You’ll have a better future."
"No matter how good the future is, if it doesn’t include you, I don’t want it." Tong Keke choked on her tears, crying heartbreakingly.
"What do I have to say for you to understand... we can’t do this." Gu Qianxi hardened his heart and his tone turned colder.
"My parents abandoned in an orphanage and didn’t want . Now you’re also going to send away and not want anymore?" Tong Keke felt as though it’d be better if she just cried herself to death.
"I would never abandon you, silly girl!" Hearing her speak in such a pitiful tone made Gu Qianxi’s heart soften. In truth, he absolutely despised the people who had left Tong Keke behind and neglected her, but now that he had taken her in, he would never forsake her.
Wait... forsake her?
What the hell?
Gu Qianxi froze for a mont, realizing that these four words had crossed his mind. His entire body tensed up in response.
