Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Siyu forcibly suppressed the excitement that was about to burst out of her chest. “What if she’s pretending to leave but actually has other plans?” Gu Xingyu snorted. “I don’t care what plans she has. As long as she’s gone, she can never come back.”

Gu Jinxu had been making good progress in his studies recently. Yesterday, he obtained Lu Miao’s permission to go out and race cars today. Upon returning, he learned that Lu Miao had left in anger due to a quarrel with Gu Ziheng. Filled with rage, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront Gu Ziheng.

Lu Miao had never anticipated that her departure would stir up such a storm of bloodshed in the Gu family.

After leaving, she hailed a taxi and went straight to Lingyue Manor.

Lingyue Manor was the only garden villa community in downtown Luo City. There were only 12 bungalows in the community as a whole.

They were all remnants from the Republican era and were now protected by the government. Despite its central location, it offered a rare blend of liveliness and tranquility. The surrounding area was equipped with parks and other recreational facilities provided by the government.

The beautiful environment and convenient lifestyle, coupled with its proximity of just a fifteen-minute walk to Zhenhai High School, caught Lu Miao’s interest when she passed by.

After earning enough money, she bought the house to prepare for leaving the Gu family in the future.

She also treated it as her foothold in Luo City.

After all, she had inexplicably crossed over to this world without the typical protagonist’s system tasks or halo. It was unlikely she could ever return to her original world.

The security of the mansion was quite strict. Lu Miao showed the owner’s information and entered the mansion after the system recorded her portrait.

She bought villa number 7. After entering the house, she put down her bag and walked around.

She had only been here once when she bought the house and had never been here again.

The houses were already well furnished and decorated, so furniture wasn’t lacking. However, the rooms had accumulated a thick layer of dust from not being occupied for a long time.

There was no time to hire a housekeeping service now.

Lu Miao placed her backpack down and rubbed her growling stomach. She took out her phone and ordered some takeout. While waiting for the delivery, she went upstairs and tidied up the bedroom.

Then, while waiting for the takeout, she went upstairs and tidied up the bedroom.

When she was almost done packing, she received a call from the delivery man who had arrived at the door.

She went downstairs to the door, opened it, and reached out to take the takeaway.” Than…”

Before she could say her thanks, she saw the person standing outside the door and was stunned.

“What are you standing here for? Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Lu Miao came back to her senses.” Why are you here?”

After she went out, she did not deliberately hide her whereabouts. Gu Shiyan got someone to check the surveillance cameras and found this place directly through the surveillance video.

He looked at the person in front of him whose forehead was covered with sweat. Her sleeves were rolled up high, and her fair face was stained with a few pieces of black dust, making her look like a little messy cat.

It was obvious that she was cleaning up.

He raised his hand and gently wiped the dust off her face with his fingertips, chuckling softly.

“My life depends on our engagement to extend my time. If I don’t catch up soon, I’m afraid I won’t survive.”

His slightly rough fingers brushed across her fair and tender cheek, gently caressing it. It was itchy.

Lu Miao took a step back uncomfortably and avoided his hand.” There’s a master who will help you solve your problem. Engagement to extend life is just a psychological comfort. It won’t solve anything.”

Looking at the tip of her slightly red ears, a smile flashed across Gu Shiyan’s eyes.

Retracting his hand, he calmly stated, “The master said that I can only survive by following you until the observatory is built. So, I won’t accept the annulment of our engagement. Wherever you go, I’ll be there.”

Lu Miao was speechless.

How could she not know what Master had said?

Mr Gu, doesn’t your conscience hurt when you lie like this?

She looked at him seriously and said without blushing, ” Mr Gu, I’m really poor. I can’t even hardly afford takeout anymore. I really can’t afford to support your expenses.”

Gu Shiyan raised his eyebrows and glanced around the house behind her.

Lingyue Manor was priceless.

Each unit started from at least eight figures, and it couldn’t be bought with money alone.

In the dowry given by the Gu family, there was indeed a unit in Lingyue

Mansion, but it wasn’t the one she was living in. She hadn’t touched the rest of tne money ertner, ana tne LU ramuy wouldn’t give ner any.

Could someone who could afford to buy a house here claim to be poor?

However, he said,” It’s okay. I can support you.” Lu Miao held her forehead and was racking her brains.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

The delivery guy, who had been left hanging for a while, coughed several times and cautiously spoke up. “Um… excuse me for interrupting, but your food delivery is still here.”

Gu Shiyan reached out and took it. “You can leave now.”

The delivery man secretly raised his hand to wipe away his cold sweat. He quickly turned around and left as if he was escaping.

The boss was too terrifying, especially when he met him at the door just now. His gaze seemed like he had caught someone cheating and was about to kill them.

Fortunately, he quickly revealed the food in his hand, allowing him to escape unscathed.

At the door, Gu Shiyan raised his hand and waved the takeaway in his hand at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao had no choice but to take a step back and make way for him.

She really did not understand Gu Shiyan. He knew the engagement was fake and useless to him, but he insisted on not calling off the engagement.

Was there something wrong with this guy’s brain?

Lu Miao was thinking about finding an opportunity to check Gu Shiyan’s pulse later.

She had only tidied up the bedroom previously. She hadn’t cleaned the living room and dining room yet.

Gu Shiyan went in and saw furniture covered in dust sheets everywhere, causing him to pause for a moment.

Lu Miao immediately said, “The house hasn’t been cleaned yet. Why don’t you go back for now and come back later when I have time to clean it?”

In any case, she wanted to send him away first.

“No need.’

Gu Shiyan didn’t display the demeanor of an idle rich young master at all. He found a relatively clean spot, set down the food delivery, rolled up his sleeves, and skillfully removed the dust sheets from the dining table and chairs, tearing off a piece to quickly wipe them clean.

Only then did he take the food containers back to the dining area and invite Lu Miao to join him for a meal.

Looking at his skillful movements, she was very surprised.

As if he had guessed her thoughts, Gu Shiyan chuckled.”l’m not a young master who doesn’t know how to do anything.”

In the few years when he first took over the Gu family, there were too many wolves and tigers who coveted the Gu family.

The people around him were bribed and betrayed, poisoned, assassinated, and all sorts of methods were used.

It was also from then on that he developed the habit of relying on himself for everything.

The kitchen was empty, and there was only a pair of chopsticks in the takeout box.

Gu Shiyan took out his phone and sent a message to Baili.

Fifteen minutes later, Baili appeared in the restaurant with a huge pile of food in his hands.

Looking at the table full of food, Lu Miao invited Baili to sit down and eat together.

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang again..
