Gu Qianying was overjoyed to learn that Bai Hong was willing to help Bai Yufeng.
Gu Qianying hurried to the Sheng Yu family to find Bai Yufeng.
Upon seeing Gu Qianying again, Bai Yufeng felt an inexplicable flutter in his heart.
His expression was somber, his face still wearing an unapproachable look.
He looked at Gu Qianying coldly, raising his eyes slightly, "What is it? This haste and urgency, don't let others know that you are someone close to this young master."
Gu Qianying suddenly chuckled and quickly waved her hand.
"What are you talking about? I'm here to deliver good news today, tremendous good news."
Bai Yufeng had personally witnessed the events at Bai Hong's home and learned that Bai Tianguo was in good health.
There was no doubt.
The good news Gu Qianying had come to report today was that Bai Hong had agreed to support him; there was no other possibility.
Although Bai Yufeng knew this, he feigned impatience and said, "Speak! What is it?"
Gu Qianying braced her thighs, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
"We have secured Bai Hong's support. With him won over, the rest will be much easier. Young Master! This is truly great news."
A hint of joy flickered in Bai Yufeng's eyes.
Seeing Gu Qianying tremble slightly, he couldn't hide his concern. "What's wrong?"
Gu Qianying pursed her lips and laughed.
"I just ran too fast. It's nothing serious. Aren't you happy, Young Master?"
Bai Yufeng slightly lowered his gaze and coughed softly, then pulled Gu Qianying up. "Come inside, don't disgrace yourself outside."
Gu Qianying rolled her eyes back.
As expected, this person was still as infuriating as ever, making one's teeth itch and wanting to bite him.
After returning, although Bai Yufeng did not say anything, he specifically invited Gu Qianying for a drink.
Gu Qianying sat beside the exquisite wine, her eyes darting, occasionally glancing towards Bai Yufeng.
She knew it.
Despite such great news, he still put on a look of disdain.
In reality, he was already incredibly excited, unable to restrain himself.
Gu Qianying poured herself a drink, then poured a cup for Bai Yufeng, raising the cup high, letting it catch the moonlight.
She drank it down in one gulp, exclaiming with satisfaction.
"This is truly a fine wine, I like it very much."
As soon as the wine entered her stomach, Gu Qianying felt a slight intoxication, her eyelids heavy, and she sat peacefully before Bai Yufeng, asking with surprise.
"Young Master Bai, others cultivate for a thousand years to share a bed, but you! You cultivate for a thousand years to be cold and aloof. How can you be so inhuman, like a ghost hunter from hell, always wanting to kill, making others afraid to approach?"
Gu Qianying spoke her mind, only emboldened by the alcohol.
When she was by Bai Yufeng's side,
She had seen Bai Yufeng kill many times. With his strong arms, a mere squeeze could send others to hell, with no path to reincarnation.
Yet, Gu Qianying also found him somewhat childish.
Or perhaps he was just too lonely!
It was rare for Bai Yufeng to hear someone speak to him like this. He raised his wine cup, slowly savoring the taste of the wine.
He said plainly, "Do you want to hear about my childhood?"
Gu Qianying nodded excitedly.
She was curious about what kind of person Bai Yufeng was when he was still a little child.
Bai Yufeng pointed to a large tree in front of him and spoke slowly.
"When I was young, the people of the Sheng Yu family discovered that my bloodline was extremely powerful, far surpassing everyone else among the younger generation. Therefore, I had no childhood."
"That tree was once my daydream. I dreamed of climbing it one day and doing whatever I wanted. But I am the eldest young master of the Sheng Yu family, so I could only sit below, watching others do what I considered foolish things. I couldn't even have foolish thoughts in my heart."
His shoulders trembled slightly.
"Do you think what I thought back then was right or wrong?"
It was rare to hear him speak like this, and Gu Qianying looked confused and hesitant.
As the eldest young master of the Sheng Yu family, Bai Yufeng naturally had responsibilities to bear.
But that tree...
Gu Qianying sighed deeply, remaining silent.
Because this was his story, and Gu Qianying felt it was not appropriate to interfere.
As he spoke, Bai Yufeng felt bored and instantly stood up from his seat, returning to his cold demeanor.
He flicked his sleeves and cast a indifferent glance at Gu Qianying.
"Leave my side. I don't want to see you."
Gu Qianying was almost amused to the point of anger.
She tried her best to control her temper, quickly jumped up from the ground, and retorted angrily at the person in front of her, her neck stiff.
"I don't want to see you either! Who do you think you are to speak such big words?"
"You just wait."
After saying that, Gu Qianying turned and left, muttering as she hugged the wine to her chest.
This was the finest jade dew.
Since Bai Yufeng dared to offer it, she dared to take it.
To not take such a good advantage would be foolish.
Watching Gu Qianying's wobbly retreating figure, Bai Yufeng looked at her with deep affection, as if greedy.
He covered his beating heart.
And gradually fell into thought.
When did he start willing to talk about such things with this person?
Gu Qianying returned to her room, pondering Bai Yufeng's words, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She thought about the past and recalled that she was not by her son's side.
If he were bullied, if he didn't eat well, what would happen?
The more Gu Qianying thought, the more worried she became. She leaped up and left the Bai mansion.
She arrived at the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.
The people inside were breathing evenly. Duan Xifeng lay beside Xiao Yihao, his arm draped across him, his snores deafening.
Xiao Yihao frowned, his hands covering his ears, seemingly unable to bear it.
But it was already late at night, and he, deep in sleep, showed no signs of waking.
Gu Qianying gave a wry smile, pushed away Duan Xifeng's arm, and covered her son with the blanket.
She pinched Xiao Yihao's small nose, feeling a bit of disappointment.
"Oh, you! You really have to go through all this trouble."
Xiao Yihao seemed to sense something.
He stretched out his arm and murmured in his sleep.
"Mother."
Hearing her name, Gu Qianying nodded excitedly.
"I'm here! Have you missed me these days?"
But the sleeping person did not answer, only his steady breathing told Gu Qianying that they were still in dreamland.
Gu Qianying smiled, teasing Xiao Yihao.
"You're thinking of Mother even in your dreams. I'll remember today's events and definitely bring them up with you later."
Ensuring Xiao Yihao was fine, Gu Qianying finally felt relieved, no longer burdened by those worries.
She then remembered Bai Yufeng and immediately returned to the Bai mansion.
July sixteenth.
It was Xiao Yihao's birthday, and Gu Qianying had remembered it early and prepared a gift for him.
