Gu Bai frowned. "Little sister, you must have your reasons. I won't stand by and let you suffer. Even if it costs me my life today, I'll stop Ye Nanshen."
Gu Luosheng twitched the corners of her mouth. "Forget it, Second Brother. To be fair, Ye Nanshen is a tenth-degree black belt in taekwondo."
Gu Bai: ???
"Looks like... I really can't beat him, huh." Gu Bai looked rather embarrassed.
A tenth-degree black belt was already at grandmaster level.
Terrifying.
Xia Zhiyun stepped forward in surprise. "My dear son-in-law, you're actually that formidable? Then you must take good care of our Shengsheng. Don't ever let anyone bully her. Can you promise me that?"
"Yes." Ye Nanshen replied with just one word, but his gaze never left Gu Luosheng.
Xia Zhiyun had been there herself. She understood just how much that look meant.
"I think he's the only one who'll bully our little sister," Gu Bai said dryly.
Xia Zhiyun glared at her son. "Oh, now you want to make yourself useful? Weren't you so good to Gu Luoxi before? Why have you suddenly grown a conscience and started caring about Shengsheng?"
"I..." Gu Bai was momentarily speechless.
"Enough. Stop stammering. My dear son-in-law looks far more reliable than you." Xia Zhiyun raised an eyebrow and spoke unhurriedly.
Gu Bai: ...
For a moment, he couldn't tell which of them was her biological child.
Then Xia Zhiyun turned to Ye Nanshen with a smile. "My dear son-in-law, I'll leave Shengsheng in your care from now on. If you ever get tired of her, bring her back to me. You must never mistreat her, understand?"
Ye Nanshen paused briefly before speaking. "I won't. Once I choose someone, it's for life. I won't abandon her. Rest assured."
"Good. I believe you!" Xia Zhiyun
