Chapter 999: Little Demoness’s Prey

Editor: Henyee Translations

News of another top scorer from the Gu family quickly spread among the elite families in the capital. At social banquets, many of these families’ wives eagerly sought Ruan Xueling’s advice on how to educate their own children.

Old Master Gu, who had always been fond of Gu Pei, insisted that Gu Zhaoming prepare a celebratory wine for Gu Pei’s school promotion.

Since Gu Zhaoming took over as the Family Head, he had reorganized the Gu family, leading to a significant rise in the Gu Group’s performance and strengthening their ties with other aristocratic families, particularly the Xiao family. As a result, the guest list for Gu Pei’s promotion banquet surpassed even the guest list for Old Master Gu’s 80th birthday celebration last year.

At the banquet, the prominent madams and young ladies of various families noticed Gu Pei for the first time. They were struck by how remarkable the youngest son of the Gu Family Head was.

Previously, Gu Yang and Gu Jin, the two outstanding sisters, had overshadowed him. Whenever the Gu family was mentioned, it was often in reference to the two sisters.

At the banquet, many girls approached Gu Pei, eager to catch his attention. Some, knowing his interest in games, invited him to play with them, hoping to impress him.

However, Gu Pei was unimpressed. He watched the game screen with frustration and plained, “Why are you still playing with such poor skills? I told you not to rush forward, but you insisted on throwing away your lives. It seems you only know two moves and nothing else.”

The girls’ faces fell at his criticism.

One girl, irritated, snapped, “Isn’t your sister Gu Yang just as bad at games? Why don’t you criticize her?”

Gu Pei raised an eyebrow. “You think you can pare to my sister? Even if she’s not great, at least she can activate Flower Fairy’s luck bonus. Can you do that?”

The girls exchanged glares, muttering angrily under their breath before storming off.

Meanwhile, Qin Shuling, sipping fruit juice with a smile, watched the scene unfold.

Qin Xian nudged Gu Pei with his elbow and said, “Brother Pei, you might want to give the girls a break. Aren’t you worried you’ll have trouble finding a girlfriend with that attitude?”

Hearing Qin Xian’s words, Qin Shuling finished sucking the orange juice in the cup and handed it to Qin Xian. She frowned. “Brother.”

Qin Xian was about to persuade Gu Pei when he caught his sister’s gaze. He quickly went over to refill her glass with juice.

Qin Shuling, dressed in a pink princess gown adorned with sparkling gems that shimmered with every movement, looked every bit the sweet, demure little sister.

Despite her appearance, her industry peers circled around her, underscoring her prominence.

Qin Xian handed the filled glass to Qin Shuling, who then offered it to Gu Pei with a bright smile. “Brother Gu Pei, please don’t be upset. They’re just inexperienced gamers, unlike me. I’ve never been a burden to you.”

Though she hadn’t cared much about games before, Qin Shuling learned quickly when she set her mind to it. The same applied to her gaming skills.

Qin Xian couldn’t help but shudder at his sister’s flirtatious tone.

Watching Gu Pei accept and drink the orange juice, Qin Xian decided to hold his tongue.

Damn. This was the cup that his sister had just used!

Although his sister drank from a straw and didn’t directly share the same glass of juice, it was still the same glass! In a way, it felt like an indirect kiss.

Qin Xian glanced at Qin Shuling again and saw her giving Gu Pei a sweet, captivating smile.

Qin Shuling tilted her head and asked, “Brother Gu Pei, is the fruit juice sweet?”

Gu Pei, not reading too much into it, replied, “Yes, it’s sweet.”

Qin Shuling’s smile grew even brighter.

Qin Xian felt a twinge of unease, thinking his brother Pei might be unwittingly being the target of his little sister’s attentions.
