Chapter 279: Chapter 279

Gu Qixiao didn’t care who exactly lived in this place or whether they were anyone special; all he knew was that the person he loved was here.

"I said I need to go inside and find someone. Since everyone here is supposed to be some kind of special talent, why did you kidnap my fiancée?"

There was absolutely no room for compromise in his stance.

The security guard was a bit taken aback, unsure of what kind of situation his fiancée was in or why she had been brought here.

"Maybe there’s been a misunderstanding."

How could people in a place possibly lack for wives?

"Xiao, there might genuinely be some complications here. Come with me and head back for now," Mr. Gu said, relieved to see that they hadn’t entered the estate yet.

Gu Qixiao couldn’t fully understand what was going on, but he trusted that his father wouldn’t lie to him.

The two returned to the Gu family’s residence together, but Gu Qixiao’s expression remained grim.

"What you did was indeed a bit impulsive. Even if Yu was taken, you can’t act so recklessly. Besides, the people living there are quite special. If you want to get inside, you’ll probably need special clearance or a pass."

He had looked into the estate’s situation before.

As such, he had a decent understanding of what went on there.

"But we still don’t know how Yu is doing."

Just thinking about it made him uneasy, convinced that the other party must have ulterior motives.

"Since we already know he likes Yu, he wouldn’t dare do anything excessive to her."

At the very least, Ji Yu’s safety wasn’t in immediate danger.

"If you have a plan, go ahead and act on it, but make sure you gather enough intel about that place first and figure out a proper way to get in."

This situation was undeniably frustrating.

Gu Qixiao felt a headache coming on.

He truly hadn’t expected Xia Chuanhe to have this kind of identity.

"Stop being so impulsive. Yu is still waiting for you to rescue her."

In truth, Ji Yu’s situation wasn’t as dire as they imagined. Instead, she was living extravagantly there, even to the point where the old matron at the estate couldn’t do anything about her.

"Just look at how much I’m tormenting all of you. Why haven’t you thought about letting me go yet? If I stay here any longer, it’ll only cause you more suffering."

As for how much suffering? Well, the once-smiling maid now walked around with a grief-stricken face.

Ji Yu had no intention of making things easy for them. If her life couldn’t be comfortable, then they wouldn’t get to enjoy theirs either.

The old matron was beginning to suspect that her son had brought home an ancestor instead of a partner. Otherwise, how could one person manage to create such a frustrating situation? The source of thɪs content is NoveI(F)ire.net

And yet, they couldn’t lay a hand on her.

"You’re not allowed to leave." The moment she finished saying that, a cushion thrown by Ji Yu hit her square in the face.

Because Ji Yu was staying there, the house had to be tidied up several times a day.

But Ji Yu showed no intention of stopping; as long as they moved about in front of her, nothing good awaited them.

By the time Xia Chuanhe returned, everyone at the house looked thoroughly miserable.

"Chuanhe, I really think you two aren’t a good match. Why not let this young woman go? I can introduce you to someone better," the old matron said, revealing for the first time a glimmer of fear toward another woman.

She genuinely didn’t know how to handle Ji Yu anymore.

"Mom, in this lifetime, I only love this one person. If you force her out, you’re condemning me to a lifetime of being single."

The old matron almost fainted upon hearing this.

Ji Yu found the whole situation in front of her quite amusing.

"I think your mom’s right. You should just kick me out. You’ll probably meet someone even better, someone you might fall for even more."

Being so obsessively in love with someone never led to good outcomes.

Matters of the heart always unfolded naturally with time.

Faced with this, Ji Yu appeared disheveled but also seemed to have done everything she could.

"Yu, no matter how much you push me, I’ll never give up on you. In my heart, you’re the most suitable person for me. Besides, you should be telling all this to Gu Qixiao instead. Isn’t he also obsessively in love with you?"

The mess involving the two of them truly left others exasperated.

Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao had feelings for each other from the very beginning.

"Our situation isn’t like yours."

They hadn’t gone through the kind of chaos Xia Chuanhe did.

Not wanting to deal with him any longer, Ji Yu went back to her room and locked the door, refusing to see him outside her bed the next morning.

But how could the master of the house not have a spare key?

When Ji Yu saw him the next morning, she wasn’t the least bit surprised.

She merely gave him a light slap across the face.

"I told you I don’t want you in my room in the morning. There’s nothing significant between us. If you keep this up, I’ll keep hitting you."

She had already started disregarding the norms, so such behavior wasn’t shocking anymore.

"Yu, why do you treat me ? You know, one slap means nothing to me. I’ll still stay by your side."

He just wanted to be able to see her whenever he could.

"Young Master, Professor Zhang is here."

No matter how much he had to say, he had no choice but to go see what brought Professor Zhang here.

Professor Zhang’s expression wasn’t great.

"Chuanhe, be honest with me. Have you been up to something lately?" He had always been proud of this student and hoped he would carry on his legacy. But after finding out about his actions of late, he suddenly questioned whether he truly knew him before.

"Professor, where did you hear this?" He feigned surprise.

It was as if he had no idea what the professor was talking about.

"Tell me the truth—are you aware of what you’ve done?" He couldn’t believe his student would be entirely unaware of the situation, nor did he think that what he did was something Xia Chuanhe couldn’t comprehend.

"Professor, could you tell me what this is about?"

"It’s about Miss Ji." He didn’t want to delve too deeply, worrying it might hurt his student’s pride.

But this matter was indeed serious.

"Whatever’s going on between Yu and me doesn’t need your concern. There’s nothing major to worry about."

Even now, he had no intention of backing away.

"You’re out of your mind! Do you even realize who you’re crossing? Do you have any idea how troublesome Gu Qixiao can be?" Professor Zhang fumed, both angry and deeply disappointed.
