Feng Tianlan spoke with a serious tone, “No one in this world shows kindness without a motive. That woman… she may not be as innocent as she seems. She surely has ulterior motives towards you, and she is not a good person.”
Gu Xiaonan rolled his eyes in disbelief.
He didn’t buy into those words!
His mother had taught him that there are both good and bad people in the world, and one shouldn’t judge solely based on appearances.
“I need to use the restroom. Stop following me!” Gu Xiaonan said, irritated, as he tried to shake off Feng Tianlan’s presence.
Feng Tianlan stopped in his tracks and watched as Gu Xiaonan walked away.
Gu Xiaonan entered a restroom, and when he came out, he was surprised to see Feng Tianlan still lingering nearby.
Frustrated, Gu Xiaonan puffed up his cheeks and decided to walk in a different direction, hoping to be free from the unwelcome company.
Feng Tianlan, however, followed him closely.
“Yuanxi, didn’t you say you wanted to see the treasure vault? I can take you there now,” Feng Tianlan offered, trying to redirect Gu Xiaonan’s attention. The mention of the treasure vault instantly caught Gu Xiaonan’s interest.
Wasn’t it a place where valuable items were stored?
Excited by the prospect, Gu Xiaonan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
“Master, master, Xiaonan has been captured by the ugly monster! ” Xiao Mei flew towards Gu Qingluan, her voice filled with despair. Gu Qingluan looked down, feeling puzzled, at Feng Yuanxi.
“Isn’t Xiaonan here?” she asked.
Following her gaze, Xiao Mei looked in the same direction.
A familiar little face came into her view.
Xiao Mei ‘s eyes went blank.
“Young master!!!’
Feng Yuanxi beckoned to the green-haired parrot, motioning for her to come over.
Unable to resist, Xiao Mei flew into his hand.
‘Young master, weren’t you captured by the ugly monster?”
‘Young master, weren’t you captured by the ugly monster?”
“You’ve remembered it wrong.” Feng Yuanxi stared at Xiao Mei without blinking, his dark eyes shimmering with a subtle purple glow that was barely noticeable unless one looked closely.
Xiao Mei instinctively sensed a terrifying pressure and her soul trembled uncontrollably!
The aura of the young master before her was incredibly powerful!
“Xiao Mei, did you come here on your own? Xiaonan came to find me earlier.
Did you all think he had gone missing?”
Gu Qingluan took out some dried fruits and offered them to Xiao Mei.
Feng Yuanxi thought to himself, “So this is Xiao Mei!’
Xiao Mei, with its small brain capacity, pondered for a while but couldn’t figure out the situation.
The young master had just been captured by an ugly monster trafficker, yet he was now standing here in front of his master, having found him even before
Xiao Mei did.
How strange!
Unable to understand, Xiao Mei decided not to dwell on it.
Her round little eyes were captivated by the dried fruits in Gu Qingluan’s hand, and she eagerly took them one by one.
Gu Qingluan noticed her fondness and placed the dried fruits in a dish, placing it on the table.
“Mother, you can go attend to your matters. Xiao Mei will keep me company.”
After being expelled from the mansion, the Gu family was in a state of chaos, and Gu Qingluan indeed had many things to attend to. She nodded, saying, “Alright, you can play with Xiao Mei. I’ll be back later.”
Watching her leave, Feng Yuanxi closed the door and approached Xiao Mei, taking the dish away from her. “Xiaonan was captured?”
“Huh?” Xiao Mei stopped eating and looked up, her gaze slightly confused. Suddenly, she seemed to have a realization and stared at him warily. “You’re not the young master! Who are you?”
While questioning him, she scanned her surroundings with her peripheral vision, trying to find an opportunity to fly away.
‘You don’t need to know who I am. Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions. I just want to stay here for a few days. As long as you don’t tell, I won’t tell, and Mother won’t find out.”
A hint of melancholy flashed in Feng Yuanxi’s eyes. Once his father finished his business, he would have to leave the Kingdom of Chengyuan, and he might never see his mother again.
So, let him be selfish for a while.
He couldn’t let his mother know the truth, but he couldn’t leave Xiaonan without help. After all, he was his mother’s son.
He was determined to rescue Xiaonan!
