I Help the Richest Man Spend Money to Prevent Disasters

Amid the troubles of hiding her identity and being favoured by the people of the Qin mansion, Ye Zhi finished recording the show with a sense of trepidation. Despite returning home, her mood had yet to calm down.

What a thrilling and exciting day.

After a while, Gu Ren also arrived home. He knocked on Ye Zhi’s door and walked in.

Ye Zhi hurriedly asked, “How do you think I acted just now?”

Gu Ren didn’t reply immediately. After he had enough fun teasing her, he spat out two words in a calm and pleasant tone, “Very good.”

Ye Zhi stroked her chest and exhaled, “I thought I was going to reveal the secret.”

“You won’t, trust me,” Ye Zhi heard Gu Ren’s affirmative voice as she raised her head to look at him. Like a very solemn promise, Gu Ren uttered, “I will help you.”

As Gu Ren’s smile tucked into the corners of his lips, his voice paused for a moment before he continued, “For example… I can take the initiative to disclose it on the show?”

Ye Zhi, “…”

In the time span of one day, Ye Zhi was once again hit with a wave of nervousness, “You…you can’t be serious?”

Gu Ren puckered his lips suddenly and his eyes remained fixed on her for a moment before they narrowed slightly. He also added a few more laughs amidst the building tension.

Under the luminance of the soft light, Gu Ren’s silhouette seemed a little blurred, “Take a guess.”

Immediately, Gu Ren stretched out a finger that quietly landed on his lips. He tapped the cushions of his lips lightly— a very obvious implication.

Give me a kiss, then.

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment before she smiled helplessly. As the lights flickered, she grabbed Gu Ren’s shirt and tugged it gently, causing him to lean towards her.

The distance between them was quickly shortened and the spring night was quiet. Their gazes towards each other were long and yearning. Ye Zhi’s eyes slowly moved down and she leaned forward, brushing her lips against his like a dragonfly’s flutter. She then let go of her hand and looked straight at him.

Time went by so fast, as if nothing had happened just now.

Gu Ren seemed to be dissatisfied as he pursed his lips. With his arms around his chest, he just stood there, looking at Ye Zhi.

He stared at her so intensely that she couldn’t help it anymore. She stood on her tiptoes and the blazing touch came suddenly in the form of a kiss that was heavily pressed against his lips.

“Young Master Gu, are you satisfied?” Ye Zhi looked at Gu Ren for a moment and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Gu Ren hesitated for a while before his thin lips moved slightly. His tone was very low as well, “Mm. Then, I will not disclose the matter for now.”

In the silent room, Ye Zhi turned to her side and buried her head in his sweater. Gu Ren’s low chuckle was ringing in her ears.

I’m genuinely impressed; how daring of him.

Qin Ling went to Nie Jiqing’s house and got her hair samples.

As the result had yet to be confirmed, Qin Ling did not tell Nie Jiqing for the time being.

This matter was about the secrets of the two families—the Gu family and the Sheng family. Therefore, she must be careful and make sure no one else was aware of this.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ling decided to find a professor that she knew.

In expedited cases, results could be available in just a few hours. Qin Ling couldn’t wait any longer either, because she knew that Nie Jiqing had been waiting for too many years.

Qin Ling called Professor Wang, but no one answered. So, she dialled the number of the laboratory.

“Is Professor Wang there?”
