Yu Shuo: "This afternoon, Hanyi and I have so ti."
"Then we’ll et this afternoon."
Gu Jin sat down next to An Mingji, and Duoduo imdiately ca up to sniff around her knee.
"I’ll let Hanyi know later, he’ll definitely be excited to know the master is coming."
Yu Shuo’s excited voice ca through the phone.
Gu Jin patted Duoduo’s head and asked, "How’s the cultivation going with Hanyi lately? Having any trouble in Beijing?"
"We always rember the master’s teachings, so we don’t cause any trouble, naturally, no one bothers us. We’re very well-behaved, but there are quite a lot of sects in Shengshi Academy. Master, what’s the na of our sect?"
"Yu Shuo! The teacher is calling you to the office!"
A stranger’s voice ca through the phone.
Yu Shuo replied to the person and then said to Gu Jin, "Master, let’s talk when we et."
"Go ahead, we’ll talk when we et."
"Alright—"
The call ended, and Gu Jin casually placed the phone on the table and turned to ask An Mingji, "Are you hungry?"
The young man nodded lightly.
"Let’s go downstairs and see what we can eat."
It was already past breakfast ti, but there was still so ti before lunch.
The Wanqi Family didn’t have anyone co upstairs to disturb them, so it seed they were allowed to sleep in naturally.
As they went downstairs, the Wanqi Family’s servants were busy cleaning every corner of the great hall.
On the sofa in the living room, Wanqi Yihai was sprawled out playing a video ga.
Opposite him, the cold-faced man they t yesterday, Wanqi Heyang, was lazily slouched on the sofa, in a true Beijing slacker style, playing a snake ga on his phone.
Neither of them noticed Gu Jin and An Mingji’s arrival.
Until one of the servants greeted them.
"Miss Gu, Young Master An—"
Gu Jin gently nodded at the servant.
anwhile, Wanqi Yihai and Wanqi Heyang also looked over.
"Little Ninth Lord!"
Wanqi Yihai tossed aside his ga console and got up to walk over to them.
"Ask Aunt Liu to bring out the dishes she prepared in the kitchen."
"Yes, Sixth Young Master—"
Wanqi Heyang also ca over, still looking cool and aloof.
The two cousins led Gu Jin and An Mingji to the dining table, as Aunt Liu served the dishes, Wanqi Yihai said, "Little Ninth Lord, my uncle’s holding a eting today and left early this morning. He asked and cousin Heyang to accompany you. If you want to explore Beijing, we’ll accompany you the whole way."
"Just call by my na."
Gu Jin still wasn’t used to Wanqi Yihai calling her Little Ninth Lord, it was too formal and hindered easy conversation.
Wanqi Yihai’s expression showed disagreent.
Especially since last night the patriarch had declared to them that from now on the Wanqi Family would serve Gu Jin and protect An Mingji at all costs.
If it had been before, he might have casually called her by na, but now he dared not be too familiar.
The patriarch had decreed, if the Wanqi Family wished to thrive, loyalty to Gu Jin was the right choice.
"Gu Jin, I heard you want to buy a house?"
Wanqi Heyang, spoke up in a cold voice from the side.
Although the young man’s tone was icy, the peer-like address made Gu Jin feel more at ease.
She nodded to Wanqi Heyang, "I was thinking about it. Do you have any good suggestions, Fourth Young Master?"
"I heard from Xiaohai that you’re planning to apply to Shengshi Academy. The Left Bank Pavilion is quite close to the school, and the houses there are nice. If you’re interested, you can check it out. Consider it a welcoming gift for a future schoolmate."
"Wow wow wow! Brother Heyang, I’ve been begging for a house at the Left Bank Pavilion for so long, and you never offered one!"
