Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 414 The Beginning of Everything 5

Xie Gui looked at the child's fair and delicate profile, and wondered who he had learned that profound look from.

Could it be Dr. Gu?

Xie Gui's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of that person.

I'd always heard that this person was a kind soul, always helping his relatives and doing everything he could for them. Now look at him...

They're all a bunch of ingrates.

But that's fine, he believes Yu Yue will handle it well.

Five million, severing the child's connection with them.

It's definitely worth it.

From now on, this child will have no connection whatsoever with the Gu family, except for the surname Gu.

He's a businessman; he never does business at a loss.

Xie Gui lowered his gaze, looked at the child's slightly puffed-up cheeks, and reached out to grab Gu Yao's hand.

Gu Yao turned his head in confusion, his large eyes revealing deep bewilderment.

A silent question: What are you doing?

Xie Gui smiled, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, a hint of seduction in his eyes, his gaze shimmering. "Kid, are you afraid I'll sell you?"

Gu Yao pursed her lips, reached out and grabbed Xie Gui's hand, a sweet smile on her face, "Don't be afraid, Brother Xie is a good person."

Xie Gui glanced down at the child's hand gripping his, clicked his tongue lightly, and flicked the child's smooth forehead. "Don't trust others so easily. Do you really think everyone is a good person?"

He's really not a good person.

He never hesitates to take down competitors in the business world.

Gu Yao pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and looked somewhat saddened.

Xie Gui suddenly regretted his words, wondering if he had spoken too harshly.

The child has always lived under the protection of his parents and has never seen the dangers of the world. He has just suffered such a great change. Why can't he be more careful with his words?

The boy pursed his lips, his silver-gray eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Is he really bad at comforting children?

Gu Yao suddenly looked up at Xie Gui, her eyes burning, "Then can I trust Brother Xie?"

Gu Yao's eyes were bright and full of laughter, with a hint of pressure. She reached out and grabbed Xie Gui's wrist, leaning forward slightly, and continued to ask, "Brother Xie, can I trust you?"

Gu Yao called out "Thank you, brother" in a sticky and sweet voice, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Xie Gui frowned as he looked at the somewhat sinister-looking child in front of him, then reached out and pressed his hand down on the child's head. "Kid, don't think so much. In this world, the only person you can trust is yourself. If you trust others too easily, you'll suffer a great loss."

Gu Yao smiled and let go of her hand, then sat back down with some disappointment, listlessly replying, "Okay."

He looked out the window again. The spring flowers were blooming beautifully and vying for attention, but none of the scenery passing by the window caught Gu Yao's eye.

I tried it out, but the result wasn't too good.

Gu Yao composed himself, but wasn't too disappointed.

If he could have figured it out so easily, he wouldn't have had to investigate for so many years in his previous life to find this person.

It's not like I'm harming him.

He even hid it so well.

Thinking of the obstacles he encountered during his investigation, Gu Yao couldn't help but grit his teeth.

But he really had no impression of Xie Gui at all.

Xie Gui couldn't understand the child's thoughts. The mouth that used to make the other party make concessions again and again at the negotiating table was now like a dud. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

It all turned into a sigh.

Raising kids is so hard!

Should we ask my parents how they raised me?

Xie Gui pondered his childhood for a moment, then his body trembled.

Hopelessly, you can forget about relying on his unreliable parents.

His parents were loving.

Then he really was an accident.

A truly sweet childhood romance novel set in a wealthy family, featuring the next generation.

It's the kind of relationship where the parents are true love, and the child is an unexpected surprise.

When he was little, the two of them took him to the amusement park, and they became very affectionate. By the time they thought of him, they had already returned home and left him alone at the amusement park.

If it weren't for his reliable assistant, he doesn't know if he would even be alive today.

Xie Gui thought for a moment, considering whether he should buy a basic parenting manual.

He turned his head to look at the child, then silently turned his head back to look at Gu Yao, who was already showing signs of becoming handsome.

It seems like a parenting manual isn't really suitable for a child this age.

Feeling Xie Gui's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Yao sighed softly.

"Brother Xie, why are you staring at me?"

He wasn't particularly interested in pretending to be a child; the fact that he could call the person in front of him "brother" was already the biggest concession he could make.

Gu Yao pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Xie Gui.

Xie Gui raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. He couldn't very well say that he was thinking about a child of a few years old who was studying a parenting manual, could he?

Clearing his throat, Xie Gui changed the subject, "Kid, are you hungry? Do you want to go eat first?"

Gu Yao was taken aback. Looking into those beautiful eyes, he touched his stomach, loosened his mourning clothes, and nodded. "A little."

Xie Gui smiled, looked up at the driver in front, and said, "To Qinghe."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow but did not refute.

Qinghe is the most famous private restaurant.

It is said that the ancestors of the owner of this private restaurant were imperial chefs, and the daily supply is limited, making it extremely difficult to book a table.

However, this is not a big deal for the person in charge of the Xie Group.

The car made several turns before stopping in front of a small alley. Gu Yao looked up and saw a plaque hanging in front of the slightly peeling wooden door: Qinghe Restaurant.

That's really down-to-earth...

Gu Yao thought to himself.

Two red lanterns hung above, swaying precariously, giving the impression of being somewhat dilapidated.

Gu Yao couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that this place didn't seem like a high-class private restaurant, but rather like a small courtyard where a retired old man lived.

Xie Gui looked at the child peering out the car window with a look of wonder on his face, and his heart softened. He opened the car door for the child and led him toward the entrance of Qinghe Restaurant.

Gu Yao raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. He could even see the dust falling from the iron door knocker.

Tsk.

Not bothered by details, really not bothered by details.

Unique.

Gu Yao had no idea what the owner of this restaurant was thinking.

Is she trying to figure out how to make her home look more historical? But is it really appropriate to leave it in such a dilapidated state?

Gu Yao didn't say these words aloud, and the door opened from the inside.

The newcomer's eyes turned cold when he saw Xie Gui. "Oh, isn't this our busy young master Xie? What brings you here today?"

Gu Yao looked up, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. Is this what they mean by birds of a feather flocking together?

This guy is quite good-looking too.

He wore a long green robe, had long hair tied up with a hairpin, and had a face with distinct features that made it clear that he was a man, not an androgynous one.

A very handsome and elegant man, whose mere presence exudes charm.

Xie Gui ignored the man's teasing and led Gu Yao inside, saying, "I also have shares here, so I'm practically a half-owner. What, can't I come in?"

The person who opened the door snapped his folding fan shut, quickly caught up, and draped a hand over Xie Gui's shoulder. "Yes, yes, yes, it's truly an honor and a great blessing for our humble place to have Young Master Xie here!"

Xie Gui slapped the person's hand down, his eyes turning cold. "Don't move."

The man smiled, slowly withdrew his hand, and shifted his gaze to Gu Yao, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry. "Who is this child?"

Gu Yao was observing the surrounding scenery in the corridor when he suddenly heard this person's words. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hello, brother, my name is Gu Yao."

She had an extremely well-behaved appearance.

Xie Gui frowned and looked at the person in front of him with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

A sweet "Brother" instantly melted the heart of the person in front of him, who reached out to pinch Gu Yao's cheek. "What a good child, Xie Gui, where did you come from—"

Xie Gui grabbed the outstretched hand and subtly pulled the child behind him, saying, "Si Yan, don't touch me."

Gu Yao was pulled behind someone, and he peeked out with half his head sticking out, laughing gleefully.

Si Yan: "..."

Why is he acting like he's protecting someone from thieves? Is he some kind of bad guy?

He wouldn't kidnap children, would he?

Si Yan crossed his arms, looking at the child in front of him with a somewhat inquisitive gaze. Gu Yao shrank his head behind Xie Gui.

Xie Gui thought he was scared, so he looked up at the person in front of him with an extremely unfriendly gaze, "Si Yan, don't scare him."

Si Yan: "..."

So love can disappear, right?

What did he do? How did he scare the child?
