Chapter 417 The Beginning of Everything 8
After leaving Qinghe, Xie Gui took Gu Yao back to his apartment.
My parents are away from home lately, and the Mid-Levels apartment is very quiet and deserted.
Bringing the child back to such a big house would be scary, wouldn't it?
Xie Gui sighed softly, feeling as if he had sighed out all the anger he would ever feel in his life today.
Gu Yao smiled, placed her hand on Xie Gui's hand, and asked with bright eyes, "Why is Brother Xie sighing again?"
Xie Gui was taken aback, turned his head to look at the worried child, pushed the child's head away, and coughed twice, "It's nothing, I just feel like I was a bit impulsive."
In a moment of impulse, he brought Gu Yao back without properly considering whether he could really raise the child properly.
Xie Gui felt a pang of guilt for the first time when he looked into Gu Yao's intense gaze.
He sighed again, his brow furrowed with lingering sorrow.
Gu Yao frowned, feeling that Xie Gui's gloomy expression was really out of place.
That sharp and beautiful face should be looking down on everyone with those silver-gray eyes.
Sitting in that high position, enjoying everyone's admiration.
Instead of the bitterness and resentment we feel now.
He didn't like the man's current expression.
From the moment the man opened his mouth, he knew that this man was a fox.
He never imagined that their fate was so deep; had they known each other since this lifetime?
Gu Yao pursed his lips.
She tried hard to recall where the two of them had crossed paths, but she just couldn't remember.
In the final period of his previous life, he did want to go directly to Xie Gui and ask him for clarification.
However, he hadn't found any concrete evidence, so it wasn't appropriate for him to just go up to someone and ask, "Have you been helping me all along?"
Moreover, the sole heir of the Xie Group is not someone he can meet whenever he wants.
Gu Yao looked down at his palms, his fair and delicate hands carrying an indescribable childishness.
He raised his hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Xie Gui's brows. Xie Gui turned his head to look at him, and a smile bloomed on his face. "Brother Xie looks better when he doesn't frown. Frowning doesn't make you look good."
Xie Gui was taken aback, then reached out and grabbed Gu Yao's wrist, a smile spreading across his face. "Kid, are you worried about me?"
Gu Yao pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"I'm worried..."
I don't like seeing you look unhappy.
Gu Yao withdrew his hand and raised it to cover his chest.
I feel that this feeling is stronger than ever before.
Is it because this is the original world?
Or is it because his two souls were found?
Xie Gui looked at Gu Yao and saw the child frowning, looking somewhat pained.
He reached out and touched her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yao looked up and met a pair of beautiful silver-gray eyes, filled with worry.
My heart was suddenly struck.
He lowered his eyebrows, avoiding Xie Gui's hand, and shook his head. "No, I'm just a little tired. Brother Xie, where are we going now?"
Xie Gui casually withdrew his hand, "We're going to my apartment now."
Gu Yao tilted her head. "Is that Brother Xie's house?"
Gu Yao asked the question knowing the answer already.
Xie Gui was taken aback, then reached out and patted the child's head. "This isn't my home. My parents are traveling abroad and aren't home right now. It's so quiet and lonely, you probably won't like it. Do you want to come home with me?"
Xie Gui looked at Gu Yao and asked with a serious expression.
Gu Yao nodded, "Yes, Brother Xie, don't you want me to go?"
Xie Gui shook his head. "No, if you want to go back, wait until next month when those two unreliable guys come back from abroad, and I'll take you to see them."
Gu Yao didn't expect that his casual test would lead Xie Gui to say that he would take him back.
The Xie family's old house.
If he remembers correctly, it's halfway up the mountain.
To own an entire mountain as private property in this extremely valuable area speaks volumes about the power of the Xie Group.
The person in front of them was the sole heir to the Xie Group.
Gu Yao sighed softly.
Suddenly I don't want to work hard anymore; I want to be a kept man.
Is it delicious to be a kept man?
Thinking of his enemies, none of them could compare to the Xie family.
Gu Yao sighed softly, cupped her face in her hands, and looked at Xie Gui with an innocent and naive expression.
"Brother Xie, does this count as meeting the parents?"
Xie Gui froze, his smile instantly turning to ice. Looking at the innocent-looking child before him, he stammered, "What?"
Taking advantage of his young age, Gu Yao blurted out whatever came to mind, "So, are we meeting the parents now?"
On her fair and delicate face, her light-colored eyes sparkled, and her voice was childish and innocent, carrying a deliberate sense of melancholy, yet it was inexplicably alluring.
Xie Gui, now the one who had been directly flirted with, took a step back, looking like a respectable young man being harassed by a bully. "What nonsense are you spouting at such a young age?"
He turned his head to the side, revealing his bright red earlobes completely.
The driver in front was very observant; seeing his boss's expression, he immediately raised the partition.
I also played some soothing music.
The main theme is to be oblivious to the outside world and focus solely on listening to music that soothes the soul.
Gu Yao, however, spoke as if he were a child speaking without thinking, and continued, "If you're going to take me back to meet your parents, isn't that the same as meeting your parents?"
"Meeting the parents" in the literal sense.
A smile appeared on Gu Yao's face, revealing an innocent and naive look.
Xie Gui then realized that he had been teased by a child.
He turned his head away, deliberately lowering his expression. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the child who had been so aggressive earlier huddled in the corner, head down, leaning against the car window, a tiny, pitiful little thing.
The stern expression I had just maintained suddenly vanished.
Looking at the child huddled up, he sighed softly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yao reached out and grabbed the fragments of sunlight that had been cut off by the trees on both sides. The light spots were particularly noticeable in the child's fair palm.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, but he couldn't suppress the sadness in his eyes. He held his hand up to Xie Gui, "Brother Xie, look, the sunshine."
The child's eyes were bright, but the smile on his face was particularly bitter.
Xie Gui felt a pang of sadness.
Gu Yao looked down and saw that the light spot on his palm had disappeared.
Like the sunlight that disappeared that day.
Surrounded by warmth, he always felt dazzled.
"Oh dear, it's gone..."
His childish voice was calm, yet tinged with regret, and a sad expression appeared on his beautiful face, making one wish to offer him all the best things in the world.
That's how Xie Gui is now.
He grabbed Gu Yao's hand, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves cast a silhouette on the back of his hand. He smiled brightly, "It's still here, kid. Look, the sunlight is still here. I caught it."
He pointed out the window, clenching his fist. Gu Yao followed his wrist and saw the bright sunlight streaming through his eyes.
It was so bright it was dazzling.
Yet it felt exceptionally warm.
