Gao Ze, who had been a bachelor all his life, suddenly blushed.
He gave a dry cough. "Be whatever you want to be."
Ning Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Yusheng exchanged a smile.
Clearly, both of them had noticed something unusual between those two.
Jiu Yuan then pointed at himself. "I'm the eldest brother of this family, Zhuang Yusheng is my younger brother, and Xiao Xiao is our little sister."
"A You and A Li are my personal bodyguards, Yin Feng is the butler and chauffeur, and Yueya is the maid."
After assigning everyone an identity, Jiu Yuan smiled lightly. "Now, let me explain how we're going to approach A Ke..."
Ning Ke ended up putting on the Buddhist Prayer Beads.
After all, they had saved his life. There was nothing wrong with wearing them as a protective charm.
There was another reason, too: he was afraid the Buddhist Prayer Beads would cry again if he didn't wear them...
Getting everything soaking wet was pretty creepy.
On the way home, Ning Ke drove while Ning Xiao questioned him from the passenger seat.
"Do you feel anything strange after putting on those Buddhist Prayer Beads?"
"Not really. They're just cool to the touch. Pretty comfortable, actually."
"Good." Ning Xiao sighed in relief and lowered her head to start scrolling through short videos.
Sure enough, her brother's face appeared again. Because of the Buddhist Prayer Beads, his heroic deed had been embellished and labeled as the work of an unbelievable power.
But another short video's popularity was also skyrocketing.
It featured none other than Jiu Yuan and his companions.
Every one of them was ridiculously good-looking, even if their behavior was embarrassingly theatrical.
But the luxury cars, clothes, and bearing were unmistakable.
Just standing there, they looked like models out on the town.
