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

Chapter 413 The Beginning of Everything 4

The group exchanged glances, sensing Xie Gui's growing impatience.

The middle-aged man chuckled awkwardly and quickly stepped forward, "I've thought it through. Xiao Yao following you is the best choice. So, what about the contract..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man revealed a fawning smile, rubbing his hands together, his eyes filled with greed.

Xie Gui looked at the person in front of him with a mocking gaze, and pressed Gu Yao's head further into his shoulder.

Perhaps realizing his posture was somewhat unsightly, the middle-aged man raised his hand to feign the appearance of a kind elder, reaching out to touch Gu Yao's hair, "Little Yao, you must—"

Xie Gui subtly stepped back, avoiding the middle-aged man's hand, his eyes unusually cold. "What are you doing?"

The middle-aged man awkwardly withdrew his hand, rubbing it nervously. "Wasn't I just going to tell Xiao Yao a few words, to make sure he doesn't cause Mr. Xie any more trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao tightened his grip on Xie Gui's neck, as if he were becoming increasingly anxious.

Xie Gui's expression softened, and he reached out to pat Gu Yao's back. "Don't be afraid."

He turned to look at the person in front of him with an unfriendly gaze, "Don't bother worrying about it. Even if the child is naughty, he's still my child, and it has nothing to do with you guys."

Gu Yao's body trembled slightly, as if she was a little sad, and she rubbed her head against Xie Gui's shoulder.

Xie Gui suddenly felt a bit bored.

Instead of arguing with these people, why not think about where the kids should sleep tonight?

Xie Gui thought for a moment and decided that the room next to his was quite nice.

How about the suite in your own house?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to convert it into a children's room, would it?

Has Allen returned recently?

I need to ask him to redesign the house.

Xie Gui, who had never raised a child before, had already figured out which designer Gu Yao would wear for the next few years.

These people in front of me are getting more and more boring.

Instead of wasting time like this, you should comfort the child; he must have been terrified today.

I just lost my parents, and now my relatives are causing me so much distress.

Looking at the pack of wolves and tigers before him, Xie Gui's eyes turned cold.

"Yu Yue, you handle the aftermath!"

The secretary beside him pushed up his glasses, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xie."

Gu Yao pursed her lips and clenched her fists, but accidentally pulled Xie Gui's hair. Xie Gui paused in his steps as he carried the child out, and raised his hand to touch the child's hair. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home. No one will bully you from now on."

Gu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Xie."

Xie Gui was overjoyed when Gu Yao called him "Brother Xie," and his smile became utterly worthless, yet he still tried to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.

"Well, I will protect you."

They led the children away from the cramped and dimly lit mourning hall, leaving behind those disgusting and filthy negotiations. The moment they stepped out the door, they were greeted by the bright and sunny sun.

Gu Yao was blinded by the sunlight and felt a burning sensation. He subconsciously buried his head in Xie Gui's shoulder.

Xie Gui frowned, tilted his head, and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Yao shook his head; it was just a stress response from this body.

Having survived a car accident, Gu Yao was extremely afraid of sunlight for a long time after being rescued.

He even thought at one point that he would never be able to overcome it in his lifetime.

later……

Gu Yao lowered his eyebrows, recalling some unpleasant memories.

He gave a mocking smile.

Later he discovered that, apart from being a bit too hot, the sun didn't seem to be a bad thing.

After all, places where the sun shines are less likely to have unsightly things.

This time when he returns, he will send all those people to hell even faster!

The thought of those people's miserable state filled Gu Yao with uncontrollable joy.

Seeing the smile on the child's lips, Xie Gui frowned.

Could something really have gone wrong?

After all, it's bound to be traumatic for such a young child to witness the death of his parents.

Feeling Xie Gui's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Yao turned her head to look, her smile becoming even sweeter. "Brother Xie, what's wrong?"

Xie Gui frowned even deeper and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Gu Yao's face. "Kid, you don't have to smile if you're unhappy. You don't have to smile for others. I hope you smile because you're happy."

Gu Yao suppressed his smile, but his expression didn't change much. He looked directly into Xie Gui's beautiful eyes, a hint of amazement flashing in them.

His silver-gray eyes naturally exude a cold and aloof air, making him look like an ambitious person.

"How did Brother Xie know I'm unhappy right now?"

Xie Gui was speechless at the question; how was he supposed to answer it?

Are you suggesting I say, "Your parents are dead, so you can cry if you want"?

Isn't this like rubbing salt into a child's wound?

Although he is not a good person, he wouldn't do something so despicable.

Besides, he quite liked the child.

Xie Gui stared at Gu Yao's still somewhat youthful face, growing more and more fond of it the more he looked.

Why are you so lovable?

Xie Gui, with a touch of fatherly concern, sighed softly.

Seeing Xie Gui's ever-changing expression, Gu Yao found it somewhat amusing.

He has accepted the death of his parents for who knows how many years.

He had already sent those people down once.

Then he would naturally send them down a second time!

In his previous life, he always knew that someone was helping him in secret, but he never knew who it was.

After a long investigation, all the clues pointed to the person in front of them.

only……

He died before we could thoroughly investigate the matter.

Gu Yao felt a slight sense of regret.

Looking at the person in front of him, Gu Yao felt a mix of emotions.

They had never met, but he had been secretly observing him for a long time in his previous life.

Thank you for your understanding.

The sole heir to the Xie family conglomerate.

He was already in power at the age of eighteen.

The parents are loving and the family is harmonious.

The family relationships are simple, completely unlike the chaotic relationships depicted in wealthy families in novels.

But when did he see him?

Gu Yao couldn't quite remember.

But for now... there's plenty of time.

Xie Gui reached out and flicked the child's head. "You're so young, don't worry about so many things. Leave these troublesome matters to the adults."

Gu Yao covered his head and looked at the person laughing smugly in front of him, then silently looked out the car window.

--small theater--

Xie Gui: We can't mention Dr. Gu and his wife; wouldn't that be rubbing salt into the child's wounds? I won't do such a despicable thing. (Proud face)

Gu Yao: So what you said in the first two chapters wasn't true, is it?

Off-site personnel: Please watch the video on the big screen!

"This must be Dr. Gu's child. It's so pitiful that he lost his parents at such a young age."

Xie Gui: ...

You'd better take turns keeping watch with both eyes at night!
