Chapter 1906: Chapter 52: Clearing Things Up

"Who’s looking down on others?"

"Clearly someone’s being indiscreet themselves, and won’t let others speak up?"

Gao Jinglin is overwhelmed by a group of girls, unable to strike back, his brows furrowed with anger. Gu Yunbo, uninterested in dealing with them, squeezed through the crowd, trying to find a place to sit when Gu Sinian blocked her path.

"Good dogs don’t block the path, move." She’s hostile towards the Gu Family, and they always look for a reason to pick on her.

"Is it true?" Gu Sinian grabbed her wrist forcefully, nearly crushing it. "Come with me." He dragged her to the back door, leading to a small garden. A cold breeze hit, making Gu Yunbo shiver.

"Let go, or I won’t hold back anymore." With no one around, should she seize the chance to beat him up?

"Is it true? Do you like that idiot Gao Jinglin?" Gu Sinian stood in the snow, glaring at her ominously. His handsome face exuded a fierce aura, a young man of twenty already showing a future of dominance.

Gu Yunbo was displeased hearing this. Gao Jinglin, after all, was her little brother; not only was he passionate and sincere, but also responsible and committed. How was he an idiot? "Who are you calling an idiot? Try saying it again."

"You have to answer me today, or don’t blame me for being rude." He suddenly leaned in, his pale lips resting against Gu Yunbo’s earlobe, ready to bite viciously at any moment.

"I know you’re skilled in fighting, but consider it carefully before you act." His breath, warm against her delicate ear, alternated between hot and cold, sending a shiver down her spine.

If Gu Sinian looked down on her like the others, she wouldn’t hesitate to throw him over her shoulder and pin him to the ground. But he unexpectedly saw through her, proving Gu Sinian really had a knack.

She really needed to reconsider; someone like him was not someone she could offend right now.

"No!" Gu Yunbo bit her lip, moved awkwardly, and Gu Sinian’s soft lips unexpectedly brushed against her tender ear. She was stunned, then tried to stay calm, pretending not to notice.

The man who had just been aggressive and menacing suddenly froze, his handsome face turning crimson under the snowy night. He didn’t know when he had let go of her wrist, his deep eyes staring at her intently.

"Gao Jinglin and I are classmates and buddies; it’s not what Ping Simin says, stop thinking nonsense."

"..."

"I’m explaining it to you! Did you hear me?"

Gu Sinian snapped back to reality, trying to disguise his unease by awkwardly turning away, stammering, "I know, I know!"

"That’s good. Don’t blindly believe rumors in the future."

"Okay!" He turned back, grabbed her hand, warning sternly, "Remember your identity, and stop fraternizing around."

"What? What did you say?" Gu Yunbo asked in disbelief, "Are you out of your mind? What identity do I have that needs you to say? What right do you have to manage me? Who are you to me?"

"I..." Gu Sinian was at a loss for words. Yes! Who was he to her to have any right to control her? He was truly confused by anger.

It was at least minus ten degrees outside at night. Gu Yunbo had just taken off her coat after going inside and was only wearing a sweater. Unable to bear the cold, she shook off Gu Sinian’s hand and walked away.

The young man, with a complex expression, stood in the snow, staring straight at her back, her red sweater blazing like fire.

Today was not only Gu Yuehong’s birthday but also Gu Sinian’s. The two were a year apart in age, and coincidentally shared the same birthday, the twentieth of the twelfth month.

This birthday party was primarily held by the Family Head for the heir’s significant twentieth birthday, something every parent greatly values. Otherwise, given Gu Yuehong’s status in the family, she wouldn’t enjoy such good treatment, nor would so many relatives and friends come to congratulate her.
