Chapter 1635: Close Your Eyes

On the other end of the phone, Qin Yize paused for a moment; the Black Angels clan, why does it sound somewhat dangerous?

Although Qiaoqiao was happily talking to him on the other end of the phone, he couldn’t help worrying, "Qiaoqiao, what’s going on? Is everything okay with you and uncle? What about the Zhou family?"

"Do you want to hear?"

"Of course I want to hear."

"Then give me a kiss!"

"How can I kiss you over the phone?" Qin Yize seemed a bit at a loss.

This idiot.

Gu Qiaoqiao complained silently.

"You just kiss the microphone, like you usually do..."

"But I’m kissing the microphone."

"Ay, why are you so silly?" Gu Qiaoqiao stomped her foot in anger, "Just pretend it’s me and give it a kiss, if that doesn’t work, close your eyes."

Qin Yize stopped teasing her, first chuckled, and then a gentle kissing sound traveled through the phone to Gu Qiaoqiao’s ear. She blissfully reciprocated, and after kissing, she asked Qin Yize, "So, does my kiss smell nice and taste sweet?"

Before Qin Yize could express his feelings, Gu Qiaoqiao noticed something amiss in the lobby. Her body stiffened, but she still bit her lip holding the receiver, her rigid body turning around, and then she saw Old Grand Master Qin, Gu Junbai, and Zhou Luoan, along with Qin Sisi, standing nearby.

Luckily, the brother and sister pair wasn’t there.

The four of them weren’t embarrassed; instead, they looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with a smile.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s face flushed red instantly, she hastily said into the phone, "Ah Ze, I’ll tell you about this later..."

After speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly hung up the phone.

Oh dear, how embarrassing!

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, she was too careless just now, seemed a bit full of herself, why didn’t she set up a barrier?

Oh heavens!

How could she make such a childish, naive mistake?

She didn’t know if she could go on.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s face turned crimson, she couldn’t pretend to be nonchalant any longer; she didn’t have a thick skin, she tugged the corners of her mouth at those few people, awkwardly laughed a bit, then swiftly dashed upstairs.

Then she heard the laughter of the four people behind her.

Especially Qin Sisi, her laughter was the brightest, this little fairy is still in the mortal world.

That’s great!

Seeing the little girl fleeing in panic, Old Master Qin glared at his daughter, "Although Qiaoqiao is generous, she’s still a child; what are you laughing at as an elder?"

Qin Sisi wasn’t afraid at all, "Dad, although I’m an elder, it’s rare for Qiaoqiao to show such a childlike side, it makes me happy..."

And at this moment, the phone rang.

It must be Qin Yize calling again, Zhou Luoan quickly answered the phone. As expected, it was Qin Yize, after a few greetings, Old Grand Master Qin took the phone and started talking to his great-grandson about the recent incidents at the Zhou family.

Although the incidents just passed, talking about them still bore some lingering fear; if they hadn’t happened to come, perhaps Qin Sisi’s life would’ve been unthinkable.

Meanwhile, Zhou Luoan and Qin Sisi warmly accompanied Gu Junbai for breakfast.

Breakfast was prepared by Qin Sisi and the old butler together.

Though it wasn’t as lavish as usual, all the necessary dishes and fruits were present.

Gu Junbai wasn’t very hungry, just a taste was enough.

The Zhou family didn’t adhere to those formalities, especially with Gu Junbai here, it wouldn’t be right to make Gu Junbai wait for everyone to eat breakfast together, as the brother and sister pair hadn’t woken up yet.

Qiaoqiao woke up, but was embarrassed from being caught by everyone while she was flirting and sweet-talking with Qin Yize, now she’s hiding in her room.

Qin Sisi had Zhou Luoan accompany Gu Junbai for breakfast, while she served some porridge to Old Master Qin, then went upstairs to call Gu Qiaoqiao down for breakfast.

Planning to wake Zhou Han and Zhou Xia while she’s at it.

Gu Qiaoqiao was only embarrassed for a moment, by the time Qin Sisi went to call her, she was basically back to normal, if you don’t mention it, I won’t mention it, and the matter just didn’t happen.

Sometimes, the ostrich mentality is quite a wonderful experience.

Breakfast mostly revolved around the topic of the basement.

It’s still open at the moment.

Since there’s a basement below, and its ventilation is very cleverly designed, besides lacking sunlight, everything else is quite good, why not think about how it can be utilized?

This is a place warm in winter and cool in summer.

It can be used as the Zhou family’s Treasure Room.

Much safer than a vault.

Moreover, the Black Angels clan values their promises greatly; once they promise something, they won’t ever eye this place, and they’ll keep the secret, so it has indeed become a great spot.

The Zhou family’s servants continued their break, now that Qin Sisi was back to normal, full of energy, she’d never sit when she could walk, keeping herself busy inside and out, yet her face still carried a satisfied and happy smile.

The Zhou family was used to pampering her, as long as she’s happy, anything goes.

So now, even without servants, there’s no sign of mess or disorder.

After breakfast, Zhou Luoan and Zhou Han went to the company to deal with asset repositioning issues, while the others went about their own businesses after their meal.

Zhou Xia, Qin Sisi, and the old butler tidied up the lobby and basement, and once the basement is cleaned, they could call back the chef to help relieve some of the pressure.

Standing in the basement, looking at the gold artefacts glowing with a golden light, and a room filled with jadeite and jade stones, Qin Sisi felt deeply emotional.

A few days ago, she was a patient in a wheelchair suffering from incontinence, perhaps wouldn’t have lived for many more days even if she stayed alive.

The Zhou family’s business was in a slump, funds had dried up, the ancient castle was mortgaged, soon to become someone else’s.

Zhou Luoan’s decades of hard work was about to turn into nothing.

Yet overnight, everything turned upside down!

She could walk, her body was filled with energy, and the funds that had been whisked away returned, the business resumed normalcy.

That’s one thing.

The most stunning part was the priceless basement.

It almost equated to the Zhou family’s assets.

It’s a scene she couldn’t have dreamt of.

Silent tears flowed down Qin Sisi’s cheeks, Zhou Xia’s eyes also watered, understanding her mother’s feelings, she embraced Qin Sisi and comforted her softly...

Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao accompanied Gu Junbai and Old Master Qin for a walk outside the ancient castle, today’s weather might be hot, but because of the castle’s location, the wind blew from all directions, making it quite cool.

However, even in the hot weather, with Gu Junbai and Gu Qiaoqiao around, the temperature naturally dropped to the most comfortable level within a ten-step radius.
