Listening to Yuan Lai’s question, Gu Xiyue replied offhandedly, "Just playing around here."
Yuan Lai nodded at her words, "I see." After speaking, Yuan Lai turned to look at Gu Xiyue, "So you found him? Where is he, should we..."
Before Yuan Lai could finish, Gu Xiyue interrupted, "Don’t look for him, let’s go to his apartnt."
Hearing this, Yuan Lai was slightly taken aback, then nodded and started the car.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he always felt the boss was acting strangely today, as if she was in a bad mood.
But then again, she was often like this, so Yuan Lai couldn’t really tell if Gu Xiyue was truly unhappy.

Yuk Family.
Gu Chengan finished the phone call and returned to the Yuk Family living room.
The living room was crowded, with both adults and children, creating a lively atmosphere.
As soon as Gu Chengan sat back down on the sofa, Yuk Weiyin slightly turned her head and glanced at him, "Whose phone call was it?"
Gu Chengan lowered his eyes, a bit distracted, and replied, "It was my sister’s."
At his words, Yuk Weiyin’s eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of contemplation appeared in her gaze.
There was only one person Gu Chengan could refer to as ’sister’, and that was Gu Xiyue.
Yuk Weiyin didn’t have much impression of Gu Xiyue and wasn’t sure how she was doing nowadays.
However, despite being recognized by the Gu Family, a girl raised in the countryside suddenly becoming a daughter of a prestigious family probably wasn’t having an easy ti.
Even if the Gu Family treated her well, the gossip from the wives and daughters of Sea City’s prominent families would be enough to destroy her.
Plus, there was Gu Zhiqi.
Thinking of Gu Zhiqi, Yuk Weiyin’s brows furrowed ever so slightly.
Oddly, the first ti they t, Gu Zhiqi was quite affectionate towards her, yet for so reason, during the last two etings, Gu Zhiqi seed increasingly distant.
At this thought, Yuk Weiyin couldn’t help but recall the events that happened yesterday at Shadow Pavilion.
The more she thought about it, the more irritable she felt.
Taking a long breath, she forced a smile and turned to Gu Chengan, "Did she reach out to you of her own accord?"
Gu Chengan lightly nodded in response.
Yuk Weiyin’s smile remained unchanged, "I know you two are close, but you don’t have any blood relation, and now she’s living in the Sea City Gu Family, being watched closely for her every move, surely attracting gossip."
"You should try to contact her less in the future, don’t cause her any trouble, lest the Gu Family thinks she’s still attached to her family here, making things difficult for her."
At these words, Gu Chengan’s body stiffened.
Could it really be like this?
Would the Gu Family truly make things difficult for his sister?
But his sister had said the Gu Family treated her well before.
Seeing this, Yuk Weiyin reached out and gently ruffled Gu Chengan’s hair, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, co to ."
"I’m your biological sister; you should be coming to ."
Gu Chengan responded with a muffled "Hmm."
Just after he replied, the Patriarch Yuk approached them, "What are you two chatting about?"
At this, Yuk Weiyin looked up and gently greeted the Patriarch, "Dad."
The Patriarch Yuk nodded and then sat beside Gu Chengan, giving him a couple of pats on the shoulder.
"Are you Gu Chengan?"
Gu Chengan sat up straight, his body tense on the sofa, and nodded at the Patriarch.
The Patriarch Yuk chuckled at this, patting Gu Chengan’s shoulder once more, "Why so tense? I’m not going to eat you."
Gu Chengan remained upright and said nothing.
