Chapter 159

"Miss Gu."

At this time, Aunt Ming walked into the classroom with a lunch box. Gu Jiuci was confused. The devil had already put a hundred thousand onto her lunch card, why was Aunt Ming still coming?

"Aunt Ming, why are you here today?"

"It's like this. The Young Master gave particular orders for me to make some blood-replenishing foods for you since your body is in a special condition today. This is the longan swallow's nest that I've simmered for three hours. Hurry and try it," Aunt Ming said in a warm voice as she stared at Gu Jiuci.

To the side, Xu Yun'er heard Aunt Ming's words and saw the other's face, and she then felt that something was wrong. She immediately pretended to be concerned and went to take Gu Jiuci's hand.

"Ci, what's wrong? Did you get hurt somewhere? Or are you sick?"

Gu Jiuci stretched out her hand to accept the bowl Aunt Ming was handing over and perfectly avoided Xu Yun'er's claws.

Before she had a chance to reply to Xu Yun'er, Aunt Ming replied excitedly.

"Miss Gu isn't sick and she isn't hurt, rather... never mind, you're too young. You don't need to know so many details. In any case, you're going to have a little nephew soon."

"What?!!"

Xu Yun'er's face immediately paled. "Gu Jiuci and Huo Mingche actually... Huo Mingche is such a lofty man, what right did Gu Jiuci have?"

After the feelings of surprise, Xu Yun'er felt anger more than anything else. She gritted her teeth and stared at Gu Jiuci in disbelief.

"Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Jiuci knew that Xu Yun'er had probably misunderstood, but she pretended not to know and looked at her innocently.

"Nothing. I just didn't expect it. You're so young, and you've already..."

Xu Yun'er only finished half her sentence before she was too angry to continue. This time, she couldn't even be bothered to pretend, instead, she stood up and brushed over it.

"Oh, right, I need to go eat in the cafeteria. If I get there too late, there won't be anything left. Goodbye, Aunt Ming."

Aunt Ming didn't even raise her eyes in response. Xu Yun'er felt unamused and quickly ran off.

"Aunt Ming, thank you."

Gu Jiuci waited until the classroom was empty before staring meaningfully at Aunt Ming.

Aunt Ming had been with the Huo Family for many years and was not one to speak out of turn. Earlier, Aunt Ming could see that Xu Yun'er had designs on the devil and so she had specifically intended to say all these things today.

"There's no need to thank me. You, the young mistress, is the one who worked hard. No one can come between you and the young master."

Seeing there was no one left in the classroom, Aunt Ming changed to calling her the young mistress. Her tone clearly indicated that she considered Gu Jiuci one of the family.

"Ah..."

Gu Jiuci immediately felt awkward. Aunt Ming didn't know what had occurred that night and from the next day, she misunderstood what had happened between her and the devil. No matter how much Gu Jiuci explained, Aunt Ming wouldn't believe her.

She had spoken until her lips were numb then she gave up and allowed Aunt Ming to misunderstand.

Outside the classroom.

Xu Yun'er wasn't in the mood to eat at all. She walked into the garden with an ashen expression and immediately called Jiang Yutang.

"Looks like Gu Jiuci's days have been going too well recently!"

Very quickly, the call connected and Jiang Yutang's tired and weak voice was heard.

"Baby, you finally have time to call me? I miss you."

Hearing Jiang Yutang's voice, Xu Yun'er was surprised. She had been busy with getting close to Yu Gu recently and had no idea what happened to Jiang Yutang.

"Yutang, what's wrong?"
