However, Black Hawk looked up when he finished speaking. As if nothing had happened at all, he looked at Gu Jingze in front of him and walked towards him.
Leaving behind Mu Feiran whose face was completely red. Many thoughts were running through her head and her heart felt extremely chaotic at the moment.
Black Hawk walked over with his arm behind his back. “Hn. The old Gu residence looks quite nice.”
Gu Jingze clapped. “You can set up something like this if you want to.”
Black Hawk said, “No way. I, I recall that your family’s residence has been around for at least a few hundred years. Where can I find such an old building?”
At the side, Lin Che heard this and asked, “Really? Has it been around for that long?”
Black Hawk asked, “Don’t you know?”
“I don’t know… I’ve never been to this area in the past.”
Black Hawk said, “The Gu family is a family with a very long history. This land was pa.s.sed down the generations. I heard that the geomancy here is very good. That’s why the Gu family has not declined for so many years.”
Gu Jingze put his arm behind his back and said, “That has nothing to do with geomancy. It’s a matter of intelligence.”
Black Hawk scoffed. “I’m complimenting you. Don’t be such a narcissist, alright?”
Gu Jingze said, “Even if I let you stay here, you wouldn’t be able to make it grow into what it is today no matter how good the geomancy in your house is.”
“Hey. You’re way too condescending of me.”
Gu Jingze looked at him. “I didn’t think this way at first. But since you and Lin Che are siblings, your intelligence should be at the same level. She’s so stupid. You can’t be any smarter either.”
“…”
“Gu Jingze!”
“Gu Jingze!” At this moment, the two siblings spoke with one voice. They both glared at this arrogant man.
Mu Feiran watched from the side and could not help but smile, “I didn’t think so at first. But looking at you two like this… you siblings actually resemble each other a little. Your eyes look the same when you’re glaring at people.”
“…”
Mu Feiran stood beside Lin Che. “So this place is that old. No wonder it looks like it is so full of secrets.”
Lin Che said, “I just found out about this too. I just felt that this place was very big.”Read more chapters at Listnovel.com
“You’re right. It’s very big. It looks very beautiful too. Furthermore, it simply looks different from the houses of typical prominent families. No wonder it’s the most prominent family.”
“Yes. When I came to the Gu residence, I also felt that it was different from the Lin residence where I had been in the past.” Lin Che continued, “But the Lin family is just a poor, humble family. Of course, it cannot compare.”
“Hn. Some of the prominent families that I’ve seen can’t match up to this either. It’s all because of you that I got to experience what it means to be part of the most prominent family. I really had no idea before this.”
Lin Che looked at her, “Then, what idea do you have about Black Hawk?”
“…” Mu Feiran did not expect Lin Che to suddenly ask this.
It was because Lin Che had thought of Yunyun after what had happened with Gu s.h.i.+nian this time. She felt that it was also good for Yunyun to acknowledge her own father earlier.
But looking at the current situation, they really did not seem to have any intention of acknowledging each other. Lin Che could not help but feel a little anxious.
However, Mu Feiran wondered whether Black Hawk and herself had gotten too close to the point where others had realized that something was wrong.
Mu Feiran looked at Lin Che with a bashful expression on her face. Fortunately, it was now night, so her blus.h.i.+ng face would not be easily noticed.
“Why did you suddenly…”
“I was just asking…”
Mu Feiran looked at her. “That’s your brother. I can speak ill of him no matter what.”
Lin Che smiled and said, “Hey, don’t feel that you can’t talk about it just because of that. He and I just started to get to know each other too. I also want to understand what other people feel about him.”
Hearing her say this, Mu Feiran said nonchalantly, “I think… he’s quite a nice person. He’s a very good person. Since he treats us, an orphan and a widow, so well, there’s no way he will treat others that terribly too.”

Although he had said earlier that he was not a good person, Mu Feiran felt that a truly evil person would not call himself a bad person.
Lin Che looked at her. It seemed that she had a pretty good impression of Black Hawk.
Lin Che herself was a little unsure whether she wanted them to be together or whether it was better for them not to be together.
It would naturally be good for Yunyun if they got together. But she was also worried that Mu Feiran would blame Black Hawk if she found out what had happened in the past. Furthermore, she did not know if Black Hawk was treating Mu Feiran so well because he genuinely liked her. If he was actually doing it for Yunyun’s sake, then there would really be no point for the two of them to be together.
Thus, Lin Che was truly in a dilemma.
One was the older brother she had just picked up from the street and the other was her best friend. She genuinely wished both of them well.
Just then, they started setting off fireworks in the courtyard of the Gu residence.
The countdown was starting soon. Each firework was brighter than the previous one.
Lin Che raised her head and looked in front. Then, she said happily, “Wow. How pretty.”
Gu Jingze stood at the side and gently s.h.i.+elded her body.
Behind them, Black Hawk and Mu Feiran stood up and walked towards them. They looked up at the sky together and watched the firework show. In front, Yunyun and Niannian were jumping about and smiling. The scene was a feast for the eyes.
It was actually Mu Feiran’s first time having such an exciting new year celebration. While watching, she could not help but smile.
The new year celebrations proceeded quite perfectly. The celebrities who had appeared on the countdown program managed to generate a lot of hype. During this time, Lin Che took a break and so she did not bother with company affairs.
Abby had returned as well and was busy at the company. As Lin Che had just gotten pregnant, she stayed at home every day and was well taken care of. She had people following her even when she took a step out of the house, so she was too lazy to go out as well.
However, Lin Che felt more and more that Gu s.h.i.+nian was even busier than she was. He left the house early in the morning and came home late at night. He basically did not stay home often.
Luckily, she had asked Gu s.h.i.+nian whether he did not like the fact that she was going to have another baby.
Gu s.h.i.+nian merely said very sincerely, “Anyway, I’m not the one who is going to bring the child up. You guys are bringing it up. I don’t care whether or not you have another child.”
Lin Che said, “But the child will be your younger brother or sister. Don’t you feel anything at all?”
“In that case, I hope that it’s a younger brother,” he said.
Lin Che asked, perplexed, “Why?”
“Because…” Gu s.h.i.+nian continued, “I don’t like girls. They’re so clingy and annoying. I will even have to look after her.”
“…” Lin Che felt that she had to start worrying again about whether he could find a wife in the future.

But after chatting with him about this, Lin Che was also sure that he would not distance himself from her because of the child.
Furthermore, after finding out that Gu s.h.i.+nian already had a personal army from such a young age and had his own power, Lin Che had eventually become more accepting of the fact that Gu s.h.i.+nian was busier than her. Anyway, he was destined to be extraordinary in the future. It would probably be difficult as well for her to try and suppress him now. She preferred to go with the flow. Since he was still young right now, he definitely would not cause any huge trouble either.
After the new year celebrations, the new problem that Lin Che would have to start facing was that the movie was going to be released soon. She had to start attending a wave of promotional events and would probably have to run around while pregnant.
