Chapter 397: Gu Xiyao called him... Little Uncle?!
As the car drove into the villa, Ji Niandong caught sight of the familiar figure from inside the car, and immediately felt a sense of reassurance.
"Lazy Cat, you can stop now!" she instructed.
The car slowly came to a halt, and Ji Niandong quickly pushed the door open to get out. Shen Congling held her back and said, "Sister Tongtong, you should have someone accompany you. I won’t disturb you, but let me know if everything’s okay!"
Ji Niandong nodded, closed the door, and the car turned away. She strode towards the familiar figure.
Lu Beichen was leaning against his car, his long legs casually crossed, a puff of white smoke escaping his lips, adding an ethereal touch. The cigarette in his hand was nearly burnt out; as he saw her approaching, he naturally tossed the butt into a nearby trash can.
"Back already?" The smoke lingered as he spoke.
Ji Niandong instinctively glanced back, as if afraid of being seen, and pulled him towards the elevator, "Let’s go inside first, Little Uncle!"
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Ji Niandong turned and threw herself into his arms, seemingly chilled all over, Lu Beichen hugged her tighter and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong? Was the premiere unsuccessful? Why did it end so early?"
"Unsuccessful, very unsuccessful!" She shook her head without any concealment, "Little Uncle, let me hug you first before we talk!"
"Alright, let me hold you, because we’re about to enter the house!" he said, then picked her up horizontally. Ji Niandong naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her head in his neck, her trembling eyelashes brushing against his skin, feeling both heartache and heart-tickle!
The moment the elevator doors opened, Lu Beichen was startled and froze on the spot for three seconds before walking out and putting down the woman in his arms.
"Why didn’t you carry me inside?" she complained playfully, but as she turned around, her entire body stiffened and she too was stunned in place.
Who... is she?
A palm-sized face, with delicate and beautiful features, those eyes carrying a subtle smile, were so... familiar! So familiar that it made her shiver involuntarily!
She was wearing a light pink puff-sleeved dress ending above the knees, making her fair skin look even more translucent, her slender straight legs exposed, truly beautiful!
No adornments or decorations on her, yet this casual pink did not make her seem spoiled, instead, she looked ethereal!
It seemed as though just her presence could captivate and make it hard for one to look away!
To the point that she almost overlooked the man beside her!
Appearing at their doorstep with Ning Zesheng, then this legendary beautiful and graceful woman must be—Gu Xiyao!
She’s rumored to be the woman who gave birth to Nian Nian!
No, Ji Niandong couldn’t help but step back, those familiar eyes of hers, are exactly like Nian Nian’s!
Although both had phoenix eyes, hers were long and pretty!
While Gu Xiyao’s were gentle and pleasing, like the youthful Lu Sinian!
So, she...?
Ji Niandong involuntarily turned to Lu Beichen beside her, seeing him with a furrowed brow, looking displeased, yet somehow not displeased!
"Little Uncle, aren’t you going to open the door?" A cheerful voice shattered the silent air, buzzing in Ji Niandong’s ear!
She called Lu Beichen... Little Uncle?!
