<strong>Chapter 700: Chapter 700 Gu Xiyue: What’s the Urgent Matter?</strong>
Gu Chengcheng crisply called out to Gu Xiyue before darting over and hugging her thigh tightly.
Gu Xiyue bent down slightly and gently rubbed Gu Chengcheng’s head, “Where’s your mom?”
Gu Chengcheng, looking up at Gu Xiyue with his clear, doe-like eyes, responded in a tender voice, “Mom is cooking.”
Gu Xiyue pinched his soft cheek and took his hand to enter the house.
As they walked into the living room, Gu Xiyue noticed Yue Lan engrossed in her mobile phone, sitting seriously on the couch.
Upon hearing the noise at the door, Yue Lan looked up at her, “You’re back?”
“Why are you here?” Gu Xiyue, holding onto Chengcheng’s hand, asked as she sat down beside Yue Lan on the couch.
“Waiting for you,” Yue Lan put away her phone, which she ced on the table, and turned her attention to Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue handed the paper bag she was carrying to Chengcheng without any particr reaction to Yue Lan’s words.
“What kind of duck?” Chengcheng asked softly, yet he didn’t reach out to take it.
He suspected the bag contained candies.
Those that couldn’t be eaten without counting them first.
Gu Xiyue: “Cake.”
Chengcheng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, and he quickly took the bag from her hand.
“And candies,” Gu Xiyue added after he took the bag.
Gu Chengcheng: “…”
His excitement deted, and he slowly went to count the candies in the bag.
Yue Lan appraised Gu Xiyue from head to toe and noticed that herplexion had improved a lot since theirst meeting. Not only that, the cold, world-weary aura she carried had lessened significantly.
Surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes as she said to Gu Xiyue, “Yourplexion looks much better. Is it because of Phoenix Sleep Fragrance?”
Gu Xiyue, leaning on the sofa, coolly replied, “Maybe.”
Seeing her reaction, Yue Lan pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, “It must be the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance.”
Gu Xiyue didn’t argue. ncing sideways, she asked Yue Lan, “Didn’t you say there was an urgent matter? What is it?”
Although she had told Mother Gu that she was heading back to Yueqi Vige, in fact, her real n wasn’t to return to Yueqi Vige. She intended to take care of some business in Yan City, drop by Yun Town No.1 Middle School to see Gu Chengan, and then head straight to Sen City.
Unexpectedly, she had just arrived in Yan City when she received a message from Yue Lan iming there was an urgent matter that needed her attention.
Since it was only an hour’s drive from Yun Town to Yueqi Vige, she had changed her ns on the fly and returned.
“Why don’t you guess what it is?” Instead of telling Gu Xiyue directly, Yue Lan looked at her with a mysterious expression.
Yue Lan hadn’t yet told her about the reason she wanted Gu Xiyue to return to Yueqi Vige— to teach her Fragrance Refining.
The purpose was to see firsthand Gu Xiyue’s reaction upon learning she was going to be taught how to make Phoenix Sleep Fragrance.
“I’m not guessing,” Gu Xiyue refused bluntly.
Yue Lan: “…”
Seeing Gu Xiyue’splete disinterest in guessing, Yue Lan felt disappointed and murmured aint, “Don’t you know how to y along at all?” Then, looking at Gu Xiyue, she continued, “Just make a wild guess. If you don’t guess at all, I won’t even know where to start.”
Gu Xiyue, still with a cold expression, obliged and made a wild guess, “Caught some severe illness and asked me toe back and cure you?”
Yue Lan: “…”
Yue Lan secretly gritted her teeth, pinched Gu Xiyue’s arm, and said resentfully, “You wretched girl, can’t you wish something good for your master?”
“Anything less than a life-or-death matter doesn’t count as an emergency,” Gu Xiyue remained indifferent.
