[Ok. ]

Gu Xiyu looked at the reply he had just sent. He was not sure if Ji Chen had really calmed down, so he tentatively added: [Oh, by the way, I want you to investigate someone. ]

Big Devil: [Who?]

Gu Xiyu looked at Ji Chen’s reply. He reluctantly tapped his finger on the screen a few times before typing a reply: [My parents took me to a fortune teller twenty years ago. ]

The tragedy of the relationship between the original owner and his family begun at that time. If Gu Xiyu wanted to resolve the grievances and knots between him and his parents, he’ll have to find that fraudster.

Ji Chen readily agreed to Gu Xiyu’s request. He then asked Gu Xiyu to wait for him at six o’clock tomorrow night and they’ll return to the apartment together after dinner.

A new notification for mail suddenly popped up in the upper right corner of the laptop. He clicked and looked at it, but it was just advertising spam.

When closing the page, Gu Xiyu saw the USB flash drive icon on the desktop again. After hesitating a few times, he still didn’t click on it but he didn’t delete it from the laptop. After closing the laptop’s lid, he put it aside and laid on the bed to sleep.

The next afternoon, Gu Xiyu packed up and prepared to bring back the luggage to the apartment. He held the black USB disk and thought for a long time before going to his contact list and finding Cheng Qianqian, whom he had recently added to his contact list. He then sent her a message: [Are you free this Saturday?]

Something big like “kidnapping” happened in Country F, so the honeymoon mission had failed. This must be the reason why Ji Chen’s risk value remained unchanged. Inside the USB disk was something that the original owner wanted to give to Fu Nian. If it really had the information that could bring damage to Ji Chen and his company, it can also help Ji Zixuan protect the Ji Group from being infiltrated and destroyed by Ji Chen. So this USB disk could help him complete the task.

Cheng Qianqian might have been busy at work as she didn’t respond to him.

“Mr. Gu.” A polite greeting came from the half-open door.

Gu Xiyu put the USB disk and mobile phone in his pocket and walked out the door: “Uncle Zhang, are you looking for me?”

The old butler was hesitant to speak. He finally asked cautiously: “Have you quarreled with the young master recently?”

Gu Xiyu’s hand that was against the door moved slightly. He said, “No.”

It was Ji Chen who was throwing tantrums, not him.

The old butler looked out to make sure that Ji Chen hadn’t returned yet and then whispered, “Come on, I’ll show you something.”

At the very end of the corridor was a locked room that Gu Xiyu had never entered.

When the old butler brought him over, the door was already open, as if he had just finished cleaning the room. The room was well stocked, with lots of children’s toys and storybooks, including game consoles, cards and plush dolls, there were even figurines nicely placed on shelves with dust covers.

Most of them were of the same type of design, and they were biased towards the style of starship executives. They were dressed in exquisite and meticulous interstellar military uniforms, handsome and sassy, with a kind of inherent arrogance in their cold eyes.

Gu Xiyu looked a little surprised.

“All of these things represent his childhood. He will come in and sit here all day if he is in a bad mood. I saw him come in and out of this room these days, so I guessed you must be having some troubles.” The old butler said.

Unexpectedly, the legendary Great Demon had such a side.

The old butler walked to the small shelf and picked up a tattered amulet: “I gave him this when he was ten years old. At that time, I thought this child had a rough time. So, I hoped to see him have a better future.”

“His mother was the one in wrong, he had nothing to do with her actions, but he was cursed and blamed by the whole world. Fortunately, the hardships passed and after working hard for so long, he has finally reached the height where he cannot be easily oppressed.”

The old butler said as he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. He was a little embarrassed: “Sorry, I spoke so much again. It’s just that the young master has never had anyone to accompany him over the years and although he doesn’t say it, I think he cares a lot about you.”

“I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can always stay by his side.”

Gu Xiyu faced the old butler. His eyelids trembled a few times, and he didn’t reply.

Speaking of which, Ji Chen really did not seem to have done any heinous or evil things in his entire life. The endings of each character were indeed calculated based on the destiny system of the management bureau. But Ji Chen had obtained everything on his own, something that went against destiny. He hadn’t made any mistake, but to the world’s consciousness, his very existence was a mistake.

He was destined to be stopped by the mission executors and become even more violent in the process of being repeatedly suppressed.

The vibration of the phone in his trouser pocket brought Gu Xiyu back from his deep thoughts.

Cheng Qianqian: [I’m free. Do you want to meet me? ]

He looked at the message from Cheng Qianqian and realized that he felt hesitant. He didn’t want the destruction of Ji Chen.

Gu Xiyu closed his eyes and when he opened them again, the small, hesitating waves in his eyes had calmed down.

[Yeah, I have something for you. ]

Ji Chen went back to the small courtyard after getting off work. Gu Xiyu had done everything he needed to deal with, and Ji Chen drove him out.

Today, Ji Chen himself was driving, so it was just the two of them.

When the car came to the city area, Gu Xiyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw the pink-filled designs on the street, as well as pairs of passersby. He turned on his phone and looked at it. The date showed February 14.

It was Valentine’s Day in this small world.

Most of the guests in the restaurant were lovers and the air exuded the smell of sweet dog food. Gu Xiyu and Ji Chen were led by the waiter to sit down at the reserved table.

Gu Xiyu had no objections to what he ate so he asked for the same thing as Ji Chen. He then asked Ji Chen after the waiter left: “Why did you ask me out? Weren’t you angry?”

After asking, Gu Xiyu realized that these two questions sounded like he was complaining.

Sure enough, Ji Chen put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at him with a smile, but he didn’t answer.

Ji Chen glanced at the panel that popped up with a thought. The entire page explained the relationship between Gu Xiyu and Lan Yue, as well as Lan Yue’s true purpose, which once again pierced his heart.

He was really surprised bt the matter with the Liyang Group. Lan Yue’s ulterior motives made him feel a little unhappy, but he was even more upset because of the love triangle going on between Gu Xiyu, Lan Yue, and Fu Nian. Seeing this information in Country F that day once again reminded him that Gu Xiyu’s existed to stop his success.

He even thought that Gu Xiyu might take this opportunity to cooperate with Lan Yue and finally betray him together.

And sure enough, Gu Xiyu did this, but later told him through the system that he was actually fooling Lan Yue and his mood recovered a little. So he wanted to have a candlelight dinner with Gu Xiyu tonight.

It’s just that although Gu Xiyu wouldn’t cooperate with Lan Yue, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t use the information in his hand to help Ji Zixuan complete his so-called ‘”mission”.

Ji Chen took out the small bag that he had brought with him when he got out of the car and took a small gift box with a delicate packaging from it.

He pushed the gift box to Gu Xiyu: “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment. He stared at the box, and suddenly he felt a bit guilty: “Sorry, I forgot that today is Valentine’s Day. I didn’t prepare any gift for you…”

“It’s okay.” Ji Chen suddenly became very understanding. He gently raised his chin to signal him to open. “See if you like it or not.”

The empty-handed Gu Xiyu didn’t really want to accept it, but he couldn’t stand Ji Chen’s persistence and could only open it.

There was a silver necklace in the box. It was simple and elegant, and very suitable for boys to wear. The pendant was a key with a unique style, about the size of a knuckle. A small, dark blue gem was well integrated into the design without being too ostentatious.

Gu Xiyu raised his eyes to see that Ji Chen’s gaze was still on him. He said: “It’s very pretty, thank you.”

The corners of Ji Chen’s lips rose slightly. He didn’t say anything but reached out and took the glass of red wine and took a sip. His eyes fell on Gu Xiyu through the glass. His eyelids drooped slightly, covering the uncontrollable darkness in his eyes.

He doesn’t know why, but he had a very strong desire to possess Gu Xiyu, as if this person should only belong to him.

So no matter what choices and decisions Gu Xiyu will make in the end, he will never let him escape from him.

Just like that key-designed pendant, his prey, Gu Xiyu, was firmly locked in the cage.

Gu Xiyu and Ji Chen had a very pleasant dinner. They ended their cold war and returned to the state they were in before.

When coming out of the restaurant, a young girl selling flowers was standing outside with delicately packed red roses in the basket. Gu Xiyu remembered the small gift box he had put in his coat pocket so he walked over to ask her for one, and then gave it to Ji Chen.

He said seriously: “Sorry! I can only give you this flower now. I will definitely give you a better gift when I have the opportunity in the future.”

The Great Demon King was an ultra-high-level prisoner of the Time and Space Management Bureau. When his soul fragments are consumed by the world’s consciousness, their energy will be weakened, and they will definitely be sent to the time and space prison.

When the time comes, he will definitely use his assets to build Ji Chen a high-level and magnificent prison, Gu Xiyu thought.

The notification from the system suddenly popped out.

[The target’s risk value is -5. The current risk value is 50.]

Gu Xiyu was startled. He looked up at Ji Chen, who was looking back at him with a smile: “For me, it’s enough.”

The atmosphere suddenly calmed down. Gu Xiyu subconsciously put his hand in his pocket, but accidentally touched an object underneath and his eyes flashed with a slight hesitation.

Ji Chen suddenly said: “There is something I have always wanted to try.”

With that, Ji Chen took a step closer in his direction.

“Huh? Isn’t this President Ji and his “Madam?” A sudden voice from the side interrupted the moment.

Lan Yue was standing with a few business partners. It looked like he was just about to enter the restaurant to eat and talk about business.

Gu Xiyu glanced at Ji Chen subconsciously, but the latter smiled like he was seeing an old friend: “President Lan, it’s been a long time.”

“It’s true that I haven’t met you for a while.” Lan Yue glanced at Gu Xiyu unconsciously. He then said to Ji Chen with a smile, “I went to your company to discuss something before, but you weren’t there.”

Ji Chen said: “I was really busy at that time.”

Lan Yue waved his hand: “I understand. By the way, you got married, and I haven’t even congratulated you yet. Haha”

“Thank you.” Ji Chen said, and took Gu Xiyu beside him into his arms.

Lan Yue smiled and said, “I won’t bother you on such an important day.”

“Okay, we will make an appointment next time.”

Lan Yue was totally depressed as he watched Ji Chen and Gu Xiyu leave. He couldn’t even hold the hand of the person that he coveted for so long, yet Ji Chen got him so easily.

Just Wait! Ji Chen will suffer in the future!

——–

After their date, Ji Chen took Gu Xiyu back to the apartment. The white cat was left alone with some cat food, and it did not meet them when they came back, as if it were angry with them.

Ji Chen didn’t mention what he had wanted to try earlier, and Gu Xiyu also didn’t ask him specifically and went to rest after taking a shower.

Saturday, the day he had an appointment with Cheng Qianqian, soon came.

Cheng Qianqian sat down with him in a coffee shop and asked curiously, “Xiyu, the thing you want to give me…..is it something really important?”

Gu Xiyu was quiet for a few seconds before putting the bag in his hand on the table: “It’s not that important. I had bought some clothes when I went to Country F last time and accidentally bought some women’s style clothes. It’s useless for me to just keep them. Then I thought of you, so I wanted to give them to you.”

He’ll wait a little longer… he’ll give that USB drive to her after he finds out what the hell was inside it.
