Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Gu Xiaoxi seems to be silly and not very smart.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Yichen was initially delighted, but he was completely baffled as soon as he made out what she was saying.

Xiao Hua?

Did she mean him by Xiao Hua?

And there was something strange about her tone.

Turning around, he looked toward the source of the voice and indeed saw a familiar face.

The girl’s profound, hazy eyes were tinged with a faint drunkenness, a departure from her usual languid demeanor. Now, Gu Zhiqi looked cold and indifferent, her gaze aloof and calm as she watched Tang Yichen.

Noticing that something was off with the girl’s demeanor, Tang Yichen let out a soft sigh and tentatively called out, "Gu Xiaoxi?"

Su Yunling thought Tang Yichen had suddenly lost the signal when he fell silent.

It wasn’t until Tang Yichen exhaled softly that Su Yunling was sure the line hadn’t been cut. Just as she was about to end the call herself, she heard Tang Yichen speaking again.

Su Yunling stopped herself from hanging up.

It seemed that the child had really gone to find Tang Yichen.

Seeing that Tang Yichen called her Gu Xiaoxi, Gu Zhiqi’s brows slightly creased and then she corrected him with a serious tone, "Gu Zhiqi."

Tang Yichen: ?!

Again?

Seeing that Tang Yichen was not saying anything, Gu Zhiqi added, "From now on, you are not allowed to address this lord by name."

Tang Yichen "..."

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t seem to be the brightest kid.

After correcting him on how to address her, Gu Zhiqi forgot what she had come to Tang Yichen for. She only glanced at the cup, cake, and phone in her hands, slightly furrowed her brow, and lifted her eyes again to ask Tang Yichen indifferently, "Xiao Hua, have you seen this lord’s horsetail whisk?"

Tang Yichen: ???

"What do you mean?" Tang Yichen was totally bewildered.

This lord?

Horsetail whisk?

And was she serious about Xiao Hua?

He didn’t know that he had such a name.

"This lord’s horsetail whisk, with its ice-white tail and rattan wood handle," Gu Zhiqi said earnestly and coolly, dropping her usual laziness as she looked straight at Tang Yichen.

Tang Yichen "..."

"It’s over, it’s over, she’s gone nuts." Tang Yichen couldn’t help murmuring to himself.

"What happened?" Hearing Tang Yichen mutter to himself, Su Yunling spoke up.

Realizing he was still on the call with Su Yunling, Tang Yichen promptly reported Gu Zhiqi’s condition, "Third Brother, come and take a look. Gu Xiaoxi seems a bit silly, not very bright."

"..."

Su Yunling fell silent.

"Ouch~ ouch ouch ouch~ that hurts..."

While Tang Yichen had just begun discussing Gu Zhiqi’s condition with Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi walked aside, placed down the wine glass, phone, and cake in her hands.

After setting everything down, Gu Zhiqi turned into a gust of wind, darting directly at Tang Yichen, seized his arm, twisted it behind his back, and then pushed him against the railing.

"Gu Xiaoxi, ease up, take it easy, Third Brother, help!" Tang Yichen called out.

"You’ve got the name wrong, plus, you are not allowed to call this lord by name." Listening to Tang Yichen’s pleas, Gu Zhiqi didn’t loosen her grip but instead tightened it.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it, just ease up a little, a little bit is fine," Tang Yichen said in an amiable tone, addressing Gu Zhiqi while not forgetting to urge Su Yunling on, "Third Brother, hurry up, my arm will be gone if you’re two steps later."

Su Yunling didn’t reply, but the sound of wind rushing through could be heard over the earpiece.

Hearing the noise in the earpiece, Tang Yichen knew Su Yunling must be on his way.

While waiting for Su Yunling, he returned his attention to Gu Zhiqi, "So, Gu Xia... I mean, how should I address you?"
