Chapter 453 - 454: Will Definitely Be Dealt With
"When did I ever say I was getting involved?" Nangong Ran spread his hands. "Alright, I’m going home now, you guys keep having fun. It’s too hot standing here."
With that, he gave a wave goodbye, and left with swagger.
Gu Qibao shook her head, watching Nangong Ran’s retreating figure, and couldn’t help but laugh. "Damn, Nangong Ran is just some yapping locust, enjoying others’ misfortunes so gleefully. I bet he’ll get his comeuppance sooner or later."
Di Mingjue smirked, also watching Nangong Ran’s brash and bouncing figure. He nodded in agreement. "Definitely going to be put in his place."
"But second brother shocked me too much!" Gu Qibao exclaimed again. "Damn it! He’s becoming a father even before he’s had a relationship. It’s terrifying!"
"Like I said, don’t jump to conclusions." Di Mingjue patted her head. "Things are never as simple as they seem. I’m certain second brother wouldn’t fall for a woman who’s married and has a kid."
Gu Qibao thought about it, agreeing. Considering how accomplished second uncle was, what kind of woman couldn’t he get if he wanted?
Why would he choose a married woman with a child?
But feelings are mysterious things. Just like Nangong Ran, the yapping cricket, said, ’love can turn the decayed into the magical!’
Gu Qibao sighed, "I can only hope so, otherwise, it’s just a shame for second brother."
"This doesn’t concern you, why are you worrying so much?" Di Mingjue glanced at her. "Enough, weren’t we going to the haunted house? Are we still going?"
"Of course we are!" Gu Qibao sprang up in excitement.
Di Mingjue took her hand, a playful smile tugging at his lips, "You sure? Remember, no regrets after we enter."
"Absolutely no regret!" Gu Qibao patted her chest in affirmation.
"Then let’s go." Di Mingjue pulled her toward him.
As they neared the haunted house, Gu Qibao saw the petrified expressions of the girls coming out, all pale-faced with traces of tears looking like they were about to have a nervous breakdown. This made her shudder in fright.
Wucao, it looks terrifying!
Instantly, Gu Qibao became hesitant, clutching Di Mingjue’s hand nervously, "Honey, you have to protect me in there, okay?"
"Wasn’t today supposed to be you protecting me?" Di Mingjue gave her a sideways glance.
"I protected you on the bus!" Gu Qibao tugged at his arm, shouting, "Now it’s your turn to protect me, strongly protect me!"
"I know, silly. Don’t worry, your husband will protect you." Di Mingjue pinched her soft cheek.
With the tickets purchased, Gu Qibao really hesitated at the entrance.
She counted fingures, mumbling, "Enter, don’t enter, don’t enter, enter."
Di Mingjue was a bit speechless. He then simply wrapped an arm around her petite waist, "Let’s go, silly girl."
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Gu Qibao began to scream, her eyes tightly shut.
The staff inside were left speechless. One of them couldn’t help but kindly remind her, "Miss, you’re not even inside yet. You don’t need to yell so miserably."
Gu Qibao: "..."
"If you’re so scared, then don’t look." Di Mingjue said firmly, "Otherwise, you might have nightmares tonight."
Also, he wanted to avoid traumatizing her.
Gu Qibao pouted, "But we’ve already bought the tickets, and you’re here with me."
"Then you need to stop screaming like that." Di Mingjue hoisted her up with one arm somewhat annoyedly, "Hold on to me and close your eyes."
Gu Qibao quickly wrapped her arms around Di Mingjue’s neck, closing her eyes.
Di Mingjue led her inside.
