Chapter 545: Chapter 550: Are you deliberately showing off this affection to bully me?
Xing Chen followed the direction Gu Beichuan was pointing to, looking over indifferently.
His gaze did not linger for even a moment. He slightly lifted his chin, exuding an unparalleled arrogance, "You should know this is the lightest punishment."
Even though Xiangsi wasn’t seriously harmed that time, it almost separated him and Xiangsi.
Merely because of this, Gu Beichuan could not have it easy.
"Alright, isn’t it nice that we can still sit down and have tea like this?" Xiangsi interrupted their conversation, not wanting to see them continue attacking each other.
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen finally looked away, picked up the teacup, and took a light sip.
"The person beside Fu Jingxuan, do you know him?" Xing Chen turned to Xiangsi, getting to the main point.
Being reminded by Xing Chen, Ran Xiangsi just remembered such an important matter, how could she almost forget?
"Fu Jingxuan and the person beside him are the hackers trying to attack Rongsheng Technology. They know my identity and even pretended to be my mentor to deceive me into breaking into your system with them. You need to be careful." Though Xiangsi had mentioned this before, she felt she hadn’t explained it thoroughly enough, fearing Xing Chen might not take it seriously.
In fact, Xing Chen had always been concerned about this matter, but previously had no time to deal with it.
Earlier, when he came back from the deck, he saw Fu Jingxuan and a mysterious person turning into a corridor, which reminded him to ask about it.
"No wonder he always tries to get close to you from time to time. Since they know your identity, they must not be simple characters." Xing Chen nodded, downing the liquid in his cup in one gulp.
"I’m currently playing along with their game. Isn’t he pretending to be my mentor? I’ll just treat him as my mentor and, by the way, find out who exactly is behind this plot to deal with you." This was precisely how Xiangsi was probing.
How could one capture the cub without entering the tiger’s den?
Since the other party had approached her directly, she might as well go along with it, perhaps finding some clues.
In this respect, she was indeed quite similar to Xing Chen.
Not afraid of even the biggest difficulties or conspiracies.
When soldiers come, we block with generals; when the waters come, we go with the earth.
When you set me up, I’ll also use you to my advantage.
It’s only polite to reciprocate!
"Well done." Xing Chen smiled faintly and lifted his hand to smooth Xiangsi’s hair behind her head, a movement as fluid and natural as ever!
Xiangsi returned his gentle smile, and as they exchanged glances, their eyes were filled with laughter; it was almost as if pink bubbles were floating in the air around them.
Gu Beichuan truly could not bear watching any longer, exclaiming, "Enough, you two! Can’t you see there’s still someone else here? Are you showing off your love on purpose to make me feel bad for not having much time left?"
The matter of his lifespan was something Gu Beichuan had really come to terms with, which was why he could joke about such an important issue.
Through this incident, he realized that both Xing Chen and Xiangsi were good people, and it was his great fortune, cultivated over three lifetimes, to have made friends with them!
Being interrupted so ungratefully by Gu Beichuan, Ran Xiangsi finally turned back to him somewhat embarrassedly, "Has this tradition in your family never been broken?"
"Never." Gu Beichuan shook his head, took another sip of tea.
Just as Xiangsi felt a pang of regret for him, he suddenly looked up again, a bright smile on his face, "But from now on, no one from the Gu Family will ever live under such a curse. My family will certainly prosper."
