Lu Jinyang was not much better off than her, but as the pillar of the Lu Family, even if everyone else fell, he could not afford to collapse.
He reached out to stroke her hair softly and said, "Don’t worry, Big Treasure will be alright. If we don’t hear anything by noon, at the latest, we’ll go looking for him ourselves."
What could Xiao Qing do? At this point, it seed her only option was to wait.
At noon, Gu Chen sohow got wind of the news and insisted that Gu Li bring him to the Lu Family’s ho.
Lu Jinyang did not give him a warm welco, saying sternly, "Instead of resting at ho, you ca here to join the chaos? If there’s anything, just call." Without waiting for Gu Chen to speak, he began shooing people away.
Gu Chen was helpless, "Don’t be like that, I ca to see if there’s anything I can help with."
"With the state you’re in?" Lu Jinyang glanced at him coldly, his gaze finally resting on Gu Chen’s abdon, "Go back, don’t make a ss here."
Gu Li was watching from the side, and as Lu Jinyang was ushering people out, she subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Qing. Before they left the house, Gu Chen had made it clear that if Lu Jinyang encountered a problem, no matter what, he must stay there.
Seeing there was no hope for Gu Chen, so Gu Li approached Xiao Qing, who had been silent all along, and whispered, "Sister Qing, do a favor, I don’t want to go ho and face Gu Chen, can I stay here with you?"
Xiao Qing looked over, just about to speak, when Gu Li continued, "You don’t need my company, but Little Treasure does. Look, with the state you’re in now, you can’t be with Little Treasure. Let keep her company."
Not knowing what Xiao Qing was thinking, it took her a while, but she finally nodded, "Okay, you can stay. But Gu Chen..."
Gu Li imdiately smiled, "He’ll be fine, Mr. Lu will let him stay if he wants to stay, let him go if he wants to go."
Xiao Qing: "..."
Over here, Lu Jinyang was resolutely firm, no matter what Gu Chen said, he had no intention of giving in.
The two of them were at an impasse, and after a long while, Gu Chen rubbed his temples and said, "At the very least, I know a bit about high technology, how co I’m completely useless in your eyes?"
"Jinyang~" Xiao Qing called out to him, "It’s not like we don’t have guest rooms at ho. If it’s really too crowded, let them have a room. We do have one available."
Gu Li: "!!!"
Gu Chen suddenly looked up, eting Lu Jinyang’s gaze. If Lu Jinyang could read minds, he’d surely be able to discern his inner thoughts at this mont.
If he could stay and help, and also share a room with Gu Li, Gu Chen thought, tonight he must shalessly insist on staying at all costs. As he was racking his brains for a way to stay, Lu Jinyang suddenly spoke up.
"Fine! Go to the study, you will handle the surveillance."
It took great effort for Gu Chen to suppress the imnse joy welling up inside him, and he replied calmly, "Alright."
And Gu Li looked at Xiao Qing, not sure what kind of expression to face her with.

When Song Zhiqing opened the door, he looked around the room and saw no one, until his gaze finally rested on the small bulge on the big bed.
His lips curved into a slight smile, as he leaned against the door with his arms crossed, but he didn’t rush over.
"Lu Jincheng, have you thought it through?"
The languid voice of Song Zhiqing ca through, and Lu Jincheng under the blanket cursed inwardly. In fact, he had dived under the covers only after hearing the door open because he didn’t want to face that detestable man, opting for this thod of avoidance.
