Chapter 2032: Big Brother: I Don’t Beat the Female, Only the Male (of the Pair)
After jointly taking down that fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist, Gu Huaijin thanked Su Yunling, "Thank you, Young Su."
Su Yunling is the young master of the Imperial Capital Su Family, which Gu Huaijin was well aware of.
Su Yunling smiled faintly and said to Gu Huaijin, "No need to thank me, Big Brother."
Gu Huaijin: ?
Big Brother?
Who are you calling Big Brother?
Gu Huaijin was momentarily confused, filled with questions, but clearly, now wasn’t the time to ask them.
He looked at Su Yunling with a complicated expression and continued to deal with the other Ancient Martial Artists.
Su Yunling was naturally not idle either and joined the fight.
The fight didn’t last very long.
Originally, there weren’t many guards at the manor.
And there were only two Ancient Martial Artists at the fifth order or above, so the fight ended in less than an hour.
As soon as the fight ended, Gu Huaijin searched for Luo Fenghe, confirmed she was okay, and then went to find Gu Zhiqi.
However, when he found Gu Zhiqi, she was holding Su Yunling’s hand, checking his pulse.
Even though it was just a simple pulse check, Gu Huaijin still noticed something unusual.
The atmosphere between the two was not right!
The surroundings were almost bubbling with pink hearts.
Recalling how Su Yunling had addressed him earlier, Gu Huaijin’s face turned dark.
Shock and a sudden surge of anger suppressed his reasoning, and Gu Huaijin strode over.
Previously, when Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi went to the Luo Family to find Yun Tung, Luo Fenghe had already noticed something off between them.
So, she wasn’t very surprised.
However, seeing Gu Huaijin angrily walking over, Luo Fenghe also took steps to follow.
"Gu Zhiqi." Gu Huaijin called Gu Zhiqi’s name for the first time.
Hearing Gu Huaijin call her by full name, Gu Zhiqi instinctively felt guilty and immediately withdrew her fingers from Su Yunling’s wrist.
Then, clasped her hands behind her back and stood obediently, "Big Brother."
Gu Huaijin stopped a few steps away from them, "What’s your relationship?"
Without thinking, Gu Zhiqi blurted out, "Engaged couple."
Gu Huaijin: ???
Where did this fiancé come from?
How come I didn’t know you had such a fiancé?
Gu Zhiqi: "It was arranged by Mother Hua Zhu and Brother Ling’s mother."
Gu Huaijin: "..."
Gu Huaijin was silent for a few seconds, suddenly feeling a bit deflated, with a hint of loss rising in his heart.
The little girl had already found her relatives.
Indeed, some things are...
Seeing Gu Huaijin’s disappointment, Gu Zhiqi immediately added, "We liked each other first, knew about the engagement later."
"What does that mean? It means we’re destined for each other."
After saying this, Gu Zhiqi looked innocently at Gu Huaijin, "Big Brother isn’t going to break us apart, right?"
Gu Huaijin: "..."
Gu Huaijin smiled, then said to Gu Zhiqi, "Of course not."
After speaking, Gu Huaijin looked at Su Yunling, gritting his teeth, "I won’t beat the duck, only the drake."
After saying that, he started rolling up his sleeves.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi pulled Su Yunling and stood in front of him to shield him.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin looked at Gu Zhiqi with a face full of disappointment, "The little girl has grown up, now knowing how to side with others."
Gu Huaijin’s acting was so unskilled that it could be seen through at a glance.
Gu Huaijin acted, and Gu Zhiqi also acted, continuing to shield Su Yunling in front of her, with an innocent face, said to Gu Huaijin, "Brother Ling just saved you and Sister-in-law by activating the Teleportation Formation, and now he’s still injured."
"Does Big Brother really want to repay kindness with ingratitude and beat Brother Ling?"
