"Wife... how could you do this?"
Gu Xu’s face darkened. Since he was a child, apart from his own mother and wife, no other woman had seen him like this. Now that he thought about it, when he took that little chubby girl for a bath, the way she looked at him was like a grown woman with improper thoughts.
Recalling the child’s expression that was a mix of cunning excitent and thrill, for so reason, Gu Xu couldn’t help but shiver, feeling an inexplicable chill on his back.
For heaven’s sake, he had been sold out by his wife, and yet he struggled to lose money for her.
"Co on, it’s just a few glances. You look slim in clothes but well-built without them, isn’t it for people to see? Even the Jiaoren were chard by you; it proves your charm is intact. Isn’t that great?"
Huo Sining was aware she was at fault, but she still brazenly twisted the argunt.
Gu Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Could he say his wife was truly generous?
"You told not to report to the police. Is this the reason? Are you sure that little girl is really in her teens?" Gu Xu hurriedly changed the topic.
Huo Sining indeed shifted her attention: "I’m sure, that chubby girl admitted it herself. Moreover, you’ve seen the surveillance footage. Wu Jun is your subordinate, you should know his abilities best."
"But even Wu Jun couldn’t handle a single move from the chubby girl and was easily subdued. Not to ntion these kidnappers. If the chubby girl really wanted to avoid this disaster, she could have just stunned that knocking kidnapper, why bother entangling with these kidnappers?"
Hearing Huo Sining’s analysis, Gu Xu found it sowhat reasonable: "You’re saying that being caught and taken away by the man in the baseball cap was actually the chubby girl’s intention?"
Huo Sining nodded: "That’s right, that wretched girl has been restless lately, probably her wild nature getting the better of her. Coincidentally, soone ca knocking, and she definitely wanted to take this opportunity to run away with that baseball cap guy to have fun, and see if she could play the kidnappers too; she might even drag out the mastermind behind and co to to take credit."
Take credit...
Gu Xu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, imagining a little less than one-year-old child, running on the floor with diapers on, drooling and presenting treasures to Huo Sining. Gu Xu found the scenario unbearable to watch.
He had thought his imagination and ntal endurance were already trained by his wife, yet his wife couldn’t help refreshing his worldview ti and again.
Gu Xu vaguely felt he might have touched upon so magnificent ancient civilization.
"Wife, this Jiaoren Tribe of yours, is it so ancient deity dwelling in the real world? Don’t tell , you’re so sort of saintess of the Jiaoren Tribe, my heart couldn’t handle that."
Huo Sining couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him: "What deity, what saintess, have you read too many novels?"
Gu Xu chuckled smugly, "Isn’t this how it goes in novels? The protagonist marries a wife who turns out to be a saintess of so mysterious tribe, or a reincarnation of Nuwa, tasked with the revival of the tribe. As a result, the protagonist accidentally takes the saintess’s chastity, then the protagonist imdiately offends the mysterious tribe and ends up chased by mysterious forces."
"Pfft—"
Seeing Gu Xu’s increasingly absurd tale, Huo Sining couldn’t help but give a fake huff, saying annoyedly: "What nonsense are you making up? Rest assured, even if it was so mysterious tribe, no one would co after you."
However, reminded by Gu Xu, Huo Sining couldn’t help but think of Yan Feng and Su Lan’s words to her before, and she beca uncharacteristically silent.
She still hadn’t figured out what all this was about, but Yan Feng and Su Lan certainly knew. However, since they parted ways in Las Vegas, they hadn’t been seen again. Huo Sining wanted to contact them, but unfortunately, every call went unanswered, and besides this thod, she had no other ans to reach them, so she could only wait for them to find her.
Knowing the chubby girl’s secret, Gu Xu wasn’t as worried anymore. Although Wu Jun and Yue Shuwen weren’t sure what was happening, even Huo Sining and Gu Xu, the guardians, weren’t anxious. It was evident these two had found a way to deal with the kidnappers, so although they felt strange, Yue Shuwen and Wu Jun had no more questions.
However, although thinking the chubby girl could handle it, Gu Xu didn’t tell Yu Fei to stop the investigation. However, the idea of asking Chen Dekun for help was shelved for now. Even when the hotel proposed to report to the police, they were stopped by Gu Xu and Huo Sining.
Although the chubby girl had been adopted by the two of them, the matter hadn’t been disclosed to the Gu Family yet. Huo Sining and Gu Xu both felt now wasn’t the best ti and didn’t want this to be exposed by the dia.
Their plan was to wait until they returned to the Imperial Capital with the chubby girl, let the Gu Family accept the fact first, then gradually reveal the details about the chubby girl. Once known by the aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital, they would then expose it to the public dia. In this way, the child’s origins wouldn’t be questioned, and they wouldn’t let the dia fabricate stories or label her as an "illegitimate child."
The chubby girl’s identity was special, and they tried to avoid dia attention as much as possible because those tabloid reporters were pervasive. One careless slip in security and confidentiality asures might expose sothing, and let the reporters sense sothing amiss, digging out the girl’s Jiaoren identity, leading to suspicions on Huo Sining, and causing a heap of trouble.
Therefore, Huo Sining didn’t want this matter to beco widely known. Privately resolving it was preferable to involving the police.
The hotel really couldn’t comprehend Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s approach. But given their identity, even if the hotel disagreed, they didn’t dare risk offending the two of them. During discussions, the hotel still expressed their stance.
The person indeed went missing at their hotel, and they were willing to take part of the responsibility, even willing to report to the police and cooperate in all investigations, but if the guardians didn’t want to report it, they couldn’t be blad if sothing happened to the child later.
