Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 324 Even the Substitute Loves the White Moonlight 10

Zhao Zhao is not a cold-blooded animal. Even if her initial approach was what her mother called flattery and was insincere, after so many years, even the hardest heart should have been warmed up a little.

Just like in this accident, Zhao Zhao's first thought was whether Gu Jin'an would be injured.

He started to care about him, but in order to complete the task and fit the persona, he couldn't show it.

"...You should worry about yourself first."

Zhao Zhao closed her eyes, no longer looking at him, leaving Gu Jin'an staring blankly at his cold, hard face.

Soon, the two of them were returned to the Gu family unharmed. As soon as they entered, the Gu family patriarch, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Zhao Zhao with a deep gaze.

Upon noticing this, Gu Jin'an immediately stepped in front of Zhao Zhao and quickly spoke up to stop his grandfather, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

After a flurry of activity, it was already 11 p.m. The old man, who usually went to bed early and got up early, was still waiting for them.

Xu Wei was also sitting next to Old Master Gu. She had probably been scolded before, and now she didn't dare to utter a sound.

"Grandpa, ... don't be angry..." Gu Jin'an said with a smile as he pushed Zhao Zhao upstairs to calm his grandfather down.

Seeing this, Grandpa Gu, who knew his son's temperament well, didn't say anything more. He got up, sighed, and said, "Going out to play is fine, but you have to get all injured."

He was only worried about his grandson getting hurt; he didn't care about anything else. "Don't look at me like that. Do whatever you want. The Gu family will back you up, and so will this old man."

As she spoke, she came to Gu Jin'an's side with Xu Wei's help.

He waited for Gu Jin'an so late just to tell him this fact.

Gu Jin'an was not surprised by his grandfather's statement, as he had always been a child who grew up with preferential treatment.

The old man touched the bruises and handprints on his face with his aged hand. His eyes were full of heartache as he said, "My dear grandson, does it hurt? Don't worry... The people who hurt you today will all suffer greatly."

……

The next day, as expected, news arrived that Shen Zichen and the others had been punished by their families. At the same time, the contract that had been under negotiation for so long was delivered to Gu Jin'an.

Gu Jin'an then gave it to Zhao Zhao.

When he came to Zhao Zhao's room to find him, he had a gentle smile on his face. The scars from yesterday were still visible on his face, and the handprint from the slap Zhao Zhao had given him was still clearly visible.

Zhao Zhao frowned, "Wasn't the wound treated last night?"

"No."

He was exhausted yesterday, so he chased Mu Huai away when she tried to apply medicine for him.

Zhao Zhao stopped talking, opened the door and let him in. At the same time, Gu Jin'an handed the contract to Zhao Zhao and presented it to him like a treasure, but Zhao Zhao didn't even glance at it.

"?"

Seeing his confusion, Zhao Zhao said, "I want to take a break recently."

Although he didn't know why Zhao Zhao suddenly wanted to rest, this was the outcome Gu Jin'an most wanted to see.

My brother is too weak and cannot overexert himself.

He jokingly remarked with relief, "My brother has grown up."

"..." If it weren't for the inappropriate relationship, Zhao Zhao would have rolled her eyes. "Then when exactly are you going to grow up..."

The Gu family doted on Gu Jin'an. He grew up in love and was protected by his family. Even though he was an adult, he was still unaware of danger and his thinking was always superficial. At the same time, he had a fiery temper and acted on impulse, causing a lot of trouble over the years.

Zhao Zhao's task also includes improving Gu Jin'an's personal charm (quality), ...a long and arduous task.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhao brought the first-aid kit to apply medicine to him. Glancing at the handprint, Zhao Zhao's expression remained unchanged. "Why did you fight with Shen Zichen yesterday?" he asked while controlling the pressure of the medicine.

The two were very close, and smelling the familiar cool fragrance on his body, Gu Jin'an's mind was hazy, as if he had returned to the drunken night before.

"I...I saw that bastard Shen Zichen bullying you, I...ouch!" Gu Jin'an instinctively flinched, but Zhao Zhao pressed down on his shoulder. "Still not awake?"

"Seems to be……"

Staring at that face up close, Gu Jin'an's mind simply stopped working.

"elder brother……"

"Don't move!" Zhao Zhao frowned as she applied the medicine to his face. Seeing this, Gu Jin'an actually stayed still, except for his eyes following her movements. He was very obedient and well-behaved.

"Heh..." Zhao Zhao chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling slightly. "Next time, watch your temper. Also, go to places like bars less often."

"okay."
