The little one made such a difficult request that the usually aloof and composed Dean Gu’s handso face flushed. His profession determined his personality.
ticulous, unwavering, calm, and collected.
But ever since eting this little rascal, Gu Qianxi felt like his personality had been forcibly bent out of shape by her.
All that aloof maturity disappeared completely in front of her.
"Keke, stop it now. If you don’t sleep, your immunity will drop again," Gu Qianxi gently coaxed her, his voice deep and husky, full of masculine charm.
Even over the call, Tong Keke felt her heart itch at his words. She pouted her lips and complained, "But what if I want to listen more?"
"Tomorrow night, I’ll take you out for dinner," Gu Qianxi murmured in a coaxing tone.
Hearing this, Tong Keke instantly brightened up, finally letting him off the hook. "Alright then, but you have to co pick up early!"
"Okay!" After coaxing the little rascal, the man hung up the phone and went upstairs to take a cold shower.
The next morning, Lin Banxia, worried about Huo Yanting going to et his grandfather, had a restless sleep and didn’t rest well.
Suddenly, she heard a notification sound from her phone; a text ssage had arrived.
Lazily sprawling on the bed, she reached out for her phone, glanced at the ssage, and froze.
"One hundred million?" Lin Banxia sat up straight in shock, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.
Right after, her phone rang with a call.
She hurriedly put it to her ear, listening to a man’s lazy voice, still groggy from sleep: "I had soone negotiate with Lin Kunhuai. One hundred million to buy the garden from him. From now on, no one will dare to drive you out of the pear garden again. The money has already been paid. As for the hundred million, it’s your pocket money. From now on, don’t go find Leng Weichen anymore, rember that."
Lin Banxia sat dumbfounded as she listened to his voice. Tears stread down her face, and she quickly wiped them away.
She spoke with a slight sob in her voice, "Thank you, Huo Yanting! I won’t go to see him anymore."
"No crying. Isn’t this sothing worth being happy about?"
"Yes, I’m really happy. Is everything okay with your grandfather?" Lin Banxia couldn’t help but show concern for him.
"No problem, but I probably can’t co to see you for a while. Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to et you. As for what we didn’t finish last night, we’ll continue." There was a teasing mischief in the man’s voice, making Lin Banxia blush and her heartbeat quicken.
"Okay!" She, too, wanted to finish what they had started last night.
She hadn’t expected that after borrowing money from Huo Yanting just yesterday, by this morning, he had already taken care of everything, even transferring such a large sum to her. And he called it pocket money—an astronomical amount, truly.
This man really worked incredibly quickly.
A faint sweetness swept through her heart, but what she felt more deeply was gratitude toward him.
If he hadn’t helped her, she truly wouldn’t have had a way out and would’ve had to relinquish the pear garden.
But now that she knew her true relationship with the Lin Family, she felt relieved, because she no longer had to bear the burden of guilt. From now on, when she faced Lin Kunhuai, she would be able to et him with a clear conscience. Compared to being father and daughter, it seed they were better suited to being strangers.
Around nine o’clock, Leng Weichen’s call ca in too.
"You’re not planning to co over?" His voice carried a hint of disappointnt and sadness.
"I’m sorry. I’ll transfer the penalty fee to you," Lin Banxia said apologetically.
"Do you think I care about that bit of money?" The man’s voice cut off abruptly as he hung up the call.
Startled, Lin Banxia stared at her phone, which was now displaying the disconnected screen, her expression tinged with a faint bitter smile.
She had told herself not to get involved with him. And yet, just like in her past life, she found herself repeating the sa mistake.
