Gu Xiaoyue's words made Duan Yao stunned for a moment.

"What heart——"

Gu Xiaoyue quickly put her index finger on Duan Yao's lips to block out Duan Yao's questioning.

"Don't be shy now that everyone is here!"

She winked at Duan Yao and Xiao Hang calmly.

Xiao Hang understood immediately. He stepped forward, grabbed Duan Yao's hand, and spoke with deep affection in his eyes.

"Baby, why didn't you tell me that you were coming to the Xiao family? Are you eager to marry me?"

Duan Yao blinked her eyes. She didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't dare to continue talking.

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled. He got into the role quickly!

Not long after, Xiao Han also hurried over. As soon as she entered the room, she wanted to untie the chains for Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue shook her head to stop her.

Xiao Han was a little confused. Before she could ask her question, two men in black suits entered the room.

When they saw Xiao Hang and Xiao Han, they were stunned at first, and then spoke.

"Master Hang, Miss Han, the master has ordered these two women to be taken to the study."

Shou Hang and Xiao Han did not object. They stepped aside and let them take Gu Xiaoyue and Duan Yao away, and they followed them.

Gu Xiaoyue had her hands and feet tied and was carried away by one of the men in black suits.

When they arrived at the study, Xiao Mingyan, Xiao Yun and Shui Lingyu were also there.

"Grandpa, why did you call my girlfriend here? We haven't even made our relationship public yet!"

Xiao Hang spoke first to assert his sovereignty.

On the way to the study, he had almost finished looking up all the information about Duan Yao, and he also knew about the dispute between Duan Yao and Yongle Department Store.

This point can serve as a springboard for him to display his acting skills.

After Xiao Hang finished speaking, not only Xiao Mingyan and Xiao Yun were surprised, even Xiao Hongjun was slightly stunned.

"Which one is your girlfriend, the girl from the Gu family or the girl from the Duan family?"

"Of course it's her!"

Xiao Hang moved closer to Duan Yao, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms affectionately.

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank Mingyan for bringing us together!"

Duan Yao's face flushed, but she did not push Xiao Hang away. Instead, she followed his words and moved closer to him.

When Xiao Hongjun heard that it was Xiao Mingyan who brought them together, he became interested.

"Ming Yan brought them together? Hahaha, tell me more about it."

"That starts with Manager Jiang asking Yaoyao to be the spokesperson—"

Xiao Hang said that ever since Duan Yao signed the contract with Yongle Department Store, he fell in love with her at first sight and became her biggest fan.

Later, all kinds of scandals were exposed about Yongle Department Store, and Duan Yao was also implicated. After she angrily terminated the contract, he used his identity as a staff member of the Xiao family to get close to Duan Yao and comfort her, and the two of them naturally got together!

“Speaking of which, Mingyan is also in charge of Yongle Commercial Building. After such a big incident, Xiao’s stock price dropped by several points. The old man was magnanimous and didn’t bother with him!

I am even happier now that I have won the heart of a beautiful woman! In the end, of course I have to thank Mingyan too!"

Xiao Hang said it lightly, and as if to show his affection, he kissed Duan Yao twice.

Gu Xiaoyue, standing aside, couldn't help but admire the excellent acting skills.

When Mr. Xiao Hang retired from the entertainment industry, she also strongly opposed it!

When talking about the collapse of Yongle Department Store, Xiao Hongjun's face, which had just brightened up, became cloudy again.

He took a deep breath and said, "Since we are all family, it must be a misunderstanding. What do you think, Yaoyao?"

Duan Yao looked aggrieved and looked at Xiao Hang with tears in his eyes.

"My dear, that woman wanted to kill me to steal my favor. Even if she didn't know about our relationship, she knew that I was from the Duan family!

I was so scared that I almost never saw you again!"

Duan Yao was also into the role. She didn't even know Xiao Hang's name, but she had to act intimate.

Xiao Hang immediately asked Xiao Hongjun in surprise.

"Grandpa, is what Yaoyao said true? That's too much! It was just a coincidence that I ran into him. Otherwise, if I killed Yaoyao, no matter how covertly I did it, it would be discovered in the future!

Then our Xiao family will be stabbed in the back in the future!"

At this time, Xiao Yun couldn't hold it back any longer, and she stared at Xiao Hang fiercely.

"Did you know that she has a god-level pet? What's wrong with me wanting to kill her to take her favor? Don't you want to? Even if you don't want to, Grandpa still wants to?!"

There was a hint of madness in her eyes, and Xiao Hongjun slammed the table.

"presumptuous!"

He really wanted Duan Yao's divine pet, but there were many people present and he had to maintain his image as a respected person.

If it were decades ago, he wouldn't care so much and would just go and grab it!

But it’s not possible now. How can I easily be criticized when I’m in a high position?

When he kidnapped Duan Yao, he was dazzled by the divine pet and actually thought he was an insignificant child of the Duan family.

Now it seems that the Duan family doesn't value her.

She can do whatever she wants, and the head of the Duan family knows it, but he just spoils her!

Duan Yao seemed to be frightened by Xiao Yun and shrank back into Xiao Hang's arms.

“My god-level pet is a companion beast, and it is impossible to break the contract.

If you kill me, I will also disappear into the world—"

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but the study was quiet and everyone could hear it clearly.

The air was stagnant for a while, and Gu Xiaoyue gave Xiao Han another wink.

"Grandpa, my brother and Duan Yao have such a good relationship, and they are well matched, why not arrange the marriage first."

The implication is that if Duan Yao can't get his divine pet, then she will be a member of the Xiao family after marrying in, and naturally she has to work hard for the Xiao family's prosperity!

Shui Lingyu also spoke up, "Grandpa, how about this? Write the marriage certificate first, and then go to the Duan family to formally propose marriage another day.

Duan Yao still has to go to the Refining Heart Waterfall Trial, and Coach Huo and the official teachers of the National Competition are also looking for her. "

"So you are here to look for Duan Yao as well?"

Xiao Hongjun frowned, somewhat displeased. This girl from the Duan family was so attractive!

"That's not it."

Shui Lingyu bowed to Xiao Hongjun.

“The auction held by Mingyan’s cousin was robbed, and I was present when it happened.

He always misunderstood that it was my junior schoolmate Gu Xiaoyue who did it, so he always made trouble for her.

Xiaoyue disappeared at the social gathering last night, so I came here to try my luck."

Shui Lingyu glanced at Gu Xiaoyue, his eyes looking as if he was about to draw silk.

Xiao Yun's eyes were red with grievance, and she asked, "Cousin, didn't you come to see me? Last year you said you would come to see me if you had nothing to do. Did you lie to Yun'er?"

Shui Lingyu was a little embarrassed. He had indeed said so in order to appease Xiao Yun.

Afterwards, I really didn't take time off to see her.

"Excuse me."

Gu Xiaoyue spoke slowly, "Ling Yu was too busy with so many things that he really didn't have time to visit his cousin."

"You! Who are you to speak like that? Who is your cousin?"

Xiao Yun seemed to have thought of something, pointed at Gu Xiaoyue's nose, and almost cursed.

Gu Xiaoyue jumped towards Shui Lingyu, then leaned her head on Shui Lingyu's shoulder.

"Because Ling Yu and I have been engaged for a long time, but we just haven't made it public!"
