After Gu Zhi sent the photo over, she sent another message to Gu Si.
Gu Zhi: “I noticed that Yinyin seemed quite bored at home all by herself, so I’ve brought her over to the Capital for a bit of fun. Auntie, you should come over too.”
Gu Yin looked at the smile on Gu Zhi’s face, a twinge of fear settling in her heart. She carefully reached out and tugged at the hem of her cousin’s clothes, whispering, “Cousin.”
Snapping back to the present, Gu Zhi pocketed her phone and turned to Gu Yin with a tender gaze, speaking softly, “Yinyin, your cousin is going to take you home.”
Hearing the gentle tone of Gu Zhi’s voice, it eased some of the fear that had settled at the base of Gu Yin’s heart, and she nodded obediently, replying with a soft, “Okay.”
On her day off, Gu Dai had planned a leisurely stroll outside. She hadn’t expected to encounter Gu Zhi, accompanied by a young girl.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Gu Dai called out with a calm detachment, “Gu Zhi.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGu Zhi had spotted Gu Dai from afar, but fearing she would be taken back, she tried her best to diminish her presence. Nonetheless, she had been noticed.
A tremor of uncertainty flickered through Gu Zhi as she avoided Gu Dai’s gaze.
Upon noticing the little girl by Gu Zhi’s side, Gu Dai inquired after a long pause, “Who is she?”
Gu Zhi, feeling a wave of relief that she wasn’t being taken back, hurriedly said, “This is Auntie’s daughter, Gu Yin. I remember you’ve met her before.”
After introducing Gu Yin, Gu Zhi said to her, “This is the cousin I told you about, Gu Dai. Yinyin, why don’t you say hello?”
The image of Gu Dai, as described by Gu Zhi, flared uncontrollably in Gu Yin’s mind and a flicker of fear lingered in her eyes as she scrambled to hide behind Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi, quite pleased with Gu Yin’s reaction yet feigning perplexity, asked, “Yinyin, why don’t you greet your cousin Gu Dai?”
Peering out cautiously, Gu Yin’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, “Hello, Cousin Gu Dai.”
After her greeting, Gu Yin swiftly retreated back behind Gu Zhi.
Seeing this, Gu Zhi turned to Gu Dai with a smile and said, “Yinyin is probably just shy. Don’t be upset with the child.”
Gu Dai remained silent, her gaze briefly sweeping over Gu Yin, then she said nonchalantly, “I see.”
Gu Dai, always sharp in her judgments of people, had not missed the slight tremble of Gu Yin’s shoulders as she spoke, a clear sign of fear.
It seemed that Gu Zhi had been speaking ill of her since picking up Gu Yin.
With a light laugh, Gu Dai asked Gu Yin, “Would you like to come over to my house and play?”
Gu Yin shook her head vigorously, indicating her refusal.
Persisting, Gu Dai said, “I have lots of toys at home. Why don’t you come see if there’s anything you like? If there is, I can give it to you.”
When she heard toys, she began to waver, and noticing how beautiful and gentle Gu Dai seemed, she didn’t appear to be a bad person.
Mhmin, she certainly didn’t seem as villainous as Cousin Gu Zhi!
Gu Yin’s resolve wavered, yet a shred of rationality remained. She looked up at
Gu Dai and asked, “Can Cousin Gu Zhi come with me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Dai nodded and replied with a smile, “Of course, she can.”
Gu Dai led the two back to the villa, instructing Wu Zhen to bring out all her toys.
Gu Yin’s eyes immediately brightened at the sight of a small rabbit doll, her gaze transfixed, unable to look away.
Noticing her interest, Gu Dai handed the doll to Gu Yin, asking with a smile, “Do you like this toy, Yinyin?”
Clutching the rabbit doll tightly, Gu Yin nodded vigorously, “Yes!”
Encouraged by this, Gu Dai continued, “Do you like any other toys? Go ahead and pick any you like.”
Surprised, Gu Yin looked at Gu Dai and asked, “Can I really keep taking more?”
Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, “Of course, you can take anything you like. If you want, you can take everything.”
After scanning the table of toys for another few moments, Gu Yin shook her head gently and said, “I’m happy with just the little white rabbit doll, I don’t need the rest.”
Gu Dai fondly ruffled Gu Yin’s hair, smiling as she said, “Alright.”
Gu Yin giggled twice, her delight apparent as she reveled in the sweet fragrance emanating from her cousin Gu Dai.
Gu Zhi, witnessing this scene, felt a sharp sting of jealousy. She could hardly believe how things had turned out.
Moreover, the collection of toys on Gu Dai’s table were all out of production, rarities that could fetch six figures each if sold separately. And yet, Gu Yin had chosen only a single rabbit.
Observing the items on the table she coveted so deeply, Gu Zhi felt her jealousy spiral into madness!
