Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Xia Xiaodie turned around and left.

..

Xia Xiaodie returned to the Green Luo Villa. Ever since half a year ago, she had moved here according to the agreement. Today, her aunt asked for leave and went back to her hometown. She was alone.

Xia Xiaodie sat on the carpet in the living room. She bought a cake and inserted a candle with her slender white hands. A light and sweet birthday song rang out.

“Gu Yilin, Happy Birthday to you.”

Xia Xiaodie curled her red lips and said softly to the flickering candlelight.

No one responded to her.

The world was silent.

Xia Xiaodie bent her knees and hugged herself with her slender arms. She curled up into a small ball and closed her eyes gently.

..

In a six-star hotel.

Gu Yilin had invited several aristocratic families for his 25th birthday. Nini, the daughter of Feng Sinan and Su Xiaoying, Mou Mou, the daughter of Xuan Ying and Xia Ling, as well as the Little Princess of Lu Yiming and Jun Xiqing, had all grown up, they had all become little beauties that could sink fish and drop geese.

Gu Yilin had a brief chat with the daughters of several aristocratic families before walking away. He came to the retro-carved balcony of the palace. There stood a handsome figure of Tsinghua University. It was Fu Shu.

Fu Shu was 22 years old this year. He was the young lord of Guting Castle. His brother-in-law was the second Prince of Limu. His sister was Princess Xiyao. Fu Shu was born with a noble son.

Compared to Fu Xiyao’s peerless beauty, Fu Shu’s younger brother mostly inherited his father, Fu Qinglun. His face was as fair as jade, and his beauty was unparalleled.

The men of the Fu family all had cold, dark eyes, and so did Fu Shu.

Gu Yilin went up to Fu Shu’s side and asked, “Do you have any news about Sihan?”

In the past six months, the Gu and fu families had never given up on looking for Gu Sihan. No one believed that Gu Sihan was gone just like that.

Fu Shu put one hand into his trouser pocket and said in a cold voice, “I heard some news in the south a few days ago. I flew over to take a look. It wasn’t Sihan.”

One was Gu Sihan’s fiancé, and the other was Gu Sihan’s biological brother. The conversation between the two of them was somewhat painful.

Gu Yilin lowered his handsome eyes and didn’t say anything else.

Fu Shu turned his head and his cold black eyes fell on Gu Yilin’s handsome face. Then, he curled his thin lips slightly. “Brother Yilin, no one blames you for what happened to Sihan.”

Gu Yilin looked at Fu Shu and nodded. “I know.”

“I Won’t disturb you anymore, Brother Yilin. I wish you a happy birthday on behalf of Sihan.”

“Thank you.”

Fu Shu turned around and left.

Gu Yilin stood tall on the spot with one hand in his trouser pocket. He gently pressed his handsome back against the carved railing of the retro palace. Then, he raised his slender fingers and pulled at the tie around his neck, the young and noble aristocrat of the business world exuded an elegant and charming aura, almost blending into the balcony of the palace.

Gu Yilin narrowed his handsome eyes. His handsome brows and eyes were drowsy and lazy. Slowly, he became a little tired.

At this time, Li Fan, the private secretary, walked over and said in a low voice, “President, there’s a high-level meeting in an hour. Do you want to... cancel it?”

Li Fan looked at the president in front of him. The president had been a workaholic for the past six months. Other than the company going public, he was still searching for Miss Sihan’s whereabouts. He didn’t have time to rest every day.

Gu Yilin opened his eyes and stood up straight. He raised his head and looked at the bright neon lights outside with his deep and narrow eyes. After a long while, he said, “Cancel it tonight.”

“Yes.”

Li Fan left.

Gu Yilin put his hands in his trouser pocket and took out his phone. His slender fingers swiped the screen of the phone, and he suddenly stopped.

He didn’t know what he wanted to do.

He seemed to be very tired tonight. His body had reached the limit of exhaustion, and his heart was also very depressed.

He looked down and saw that he had already flipped open a cell phone number.

This cell phone number was so familiar, yet it also seemed too unfamiliar. It was so unfamiliar that he had not even opened it for half a year.

Gu Yilin pinched his cell phone and turned around.

“Yilin, where are you going?”

At this moment, Tang Mo'er walked over.

Gu Yilin stopped in his tracks. “Mother.”

“Yilin, are you leaving? Is there something urgent at the company? It’s your birthday today, don’t work anymore. You should rest for a day.”

“Also, why don’t you go over and chat with Mou Mou and the rest? These are all daughters of aristocratic families. They have all grown up to be beautiful young ladies. Mom seems to be doing well. Do you like them?”

Gu Ye Lin knew what his mother was thinking. Ever since the incident with Sihan, Tang Mo'er had placed all her focus on this pair of children. She was looking for Sihan’s whereabouts and was also worried about his marriage.

Although today was a birthday party, it was actually a blind date for him.

Gu yelin nodded his head casually, “Mm, they look pretty good to me.”

Tang Mo'er knew that Gu Yelin was just giving her a perfunctory reply, “Yelin, I’m not joking with you. You’re not young anymore, it’s time for you to get married. Or... Do you have a girl that you like?”

“If you have a girl that you like, that’s fine too. Bring her back and let me take a look.”

A girl that you like..

Gu Yilin’s thin lips curled into a sarcastic and self-deprecating smile. However, it was fleeting. “Mother, you can do whatever you want. I like what you like. If I meet someone similar, I’ll get married.”

What did he mean?

Tang Mo'er immediately shot Gu Yilin a look of annoyance, “What era is this? Why is arranged marriage still so popular? Marriage isn’t a child’s play. My Son must marry a good girl he likes and stay with her for the rest of his life... forget it, I know you won’t listen to me. Come Home with me later and stay at my place tonight.”

“Oh, okay.”

..

The next morning, at Qingluo Villa.

Xia Xiaodie was woken up by the Auntie who had just returned. “Miss Xia, Miss Xia, why are you sleeping on the sofa? Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Xia Xiaodie opened her eyes. She had slept like this last night. The cake on the coffee table was still there, and the candles had already burned out.

She looked at the time. It was already seven o’clock.

“Miss Xia, wait a moment. I’ll go make breakfast for you.”

“There’s no need, Auntie. I have a speech today. I’m going to be late. I’ll be leaving first.”

Xia Xiaodie ran out quickly.

..

Gu Yilin attended a business summit forum. This forum was filled with business elites and high-end IT talents.

Ling limu and Fu Xiyao, who had not seen each other for a long time, also came. Fu Xiyao looked at Gu Yilin and curled her red lips. “Yilin, long time no see.”

Ling limu was talking to a few men at the side. They had not seen each other for more than half a year. Ling Limu, who had taken over the royal family, became more dignified and reserved. Fu Xiyao was already nine months pregnant and had a big belly. Although she was pregnant.., however, Fu Xiyao’s limbs were still slender, and her skin was smooth and fair. Her beautiful little face was suffused with a healthy and rosy luster. It was obvious that she had a sweet marriage and was nourished by Ling limu.

Gu Yilin curled his thin lips. “Xiyao, long time no see.”

At this moment, the door of the forum was pushed open, and two figures walked in.
