Chapter 622: 622 valid for a lifetime.

Lin Tang gave Gu Yingzhou a white look and sat back down on the stool.

"Wishful thinking! A home belongs to two people, not just one person’s business."

Gu Yingzhou casually put down the things he brought and sat on another chair, smiling, "You’re right! I’ll listen to you."

His original intention had been for the little girl to give orders, and he would do the work.

How could he bear to let Tangtang do the rough work?!

Upon hearing this, the corners of Lin Tang’s mouth uncontrollably curled upwards.

"Hmph, remember, you said that yourself."

Gu Yingzhou was charmed by the little girl and leaned forward, planting a kiss on the tip of her nose.

"Right, I said it."

He paused for half a second and added, "For a lifetime."

The smile on Lin Tang’s face deepened.

Sweet nothings can indeed tug at the heartstrings.

Who could resist a good-looking person whispering sweet nothings, she certainly couldn’t!

Gu Yingzhou untied the bag he brought and took out a box from inside.

"See if you like it?"

"What is it?" Lin Tang was very curious, "A gift? Didn’t you give me one yesterday already?"

Receiving gifts when it wasn’t even a birthday, what a pleasant surprise.

Gu Yingzhou lifted his eyebrow slightly, "Take a look first."

If she liked it, she could keep it, if not, they could discuss it.

Lin Tang, unaware of his thoughts, opened the box to find a set of jewelry inside.

Necklace, earrings, bracelet, ring.

Gleaming and dazzling to the eyes.

They seemed to be... rubies?!

"This...?!" Lin Tang’s eyes were momentarily dazzled, her expression one of shock.

Wasn’t it too bold to give such a thing at this time?

...Thinking of starting anew in an undeveloped area perhaps.

Gu Yingzhou could of course sense Lin Tang’s thoughts.

He pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly and explained, "This is a birthday gift from my mother, sent through a trusted person. If you like it, keep it, if not, just put it aside."

His mother was indeed spoiled by his father, acting as she pleased, so it was not surprising that she would send such a gift.

But, this also reflected the confidence that the men of the Gu Family had in providing for their womenfolk.

As to why his mother would give Tangtang such a thing, he guessed it might be because Mrs. Ruan felt... only such an item could express her affection for the young girl?

Such common objects were of interest only to Mrs. Ruan for her collection.

The kids in his family might not necessarily like them!

Lin Tang certainly liked them, after all, it was jewelry, who wouldn’t love that?

She admitted she was rather ordinary.

But...

Putting down the box, Lin Tang furrowed her brows.

"...It’s not about whether I like them or not."

Harboring the big secret of having another life, unable to reveal it to anyone, only to watch people get swept into the currents of time, was a deeply distressing ordeal.

Seeing her partner cavalierly present such an item, Lin Tang felt a crack in her defenses.

"These items..."

...would soon bring misfortune to their owners in this era.

But how could she say such things?

Gu Yingzhou noticed the little girl’s uneasy mood, reached out to stroke her hair, and said with a steady voice, "I know all about it."

Perhaps it was the assuredness in his voice that calmed Lin Tang’s anxiety, and she looked at him, puzzled.

"Hmm? You... know?"

Know what?

As she questioned with a look of inexplicable expectation,

Guarding a secret alone, watching familiar faces sink into a dark quagmire, was very draining.

The closer the time came, the clearer the feeling became.

Gu Yingzhou and Lin Tang locked eyes, his gaze revealing no hint of evasion.

"The situation is unstable, it’s about to change," he said.

Anping County might be remote, but that did not mean he was truly trapped in this isolated place.

Not to mention the information network of the Gu Family, just the news from his fellow disciples was enough for him to deduce that... the situation was about to shift!

Lin Tang clutched Gu Yingzhou’s arm, "Then you all still..."

Her eyes drifted to the ruby jewelry on the table.

Seeing the concern in the little girl’s eyes, Gu Yingzhou felt a warmth in his heart.

"The family has been prepared for a long time. It was sent by a trusted member of the Gu Family, untouched by anyone else. Don’t worry," he assured her.

His mother might be headstrong, but that headstrong nature was not without intelligence.

Lin Tang pressed her lips together and asked, "And your family?"

"Everything’s under control, don’t worry," Gu Yingzhou’s fingertips brushed her brow, not wanting to see her worried.

A thought occurring to him, his eyes deepened abruptly.

Lin Tang’s worries eased slightly, "Alright."

With her limited strength, she couldn’t change the course of the world; she just hoped the ones she cared for would be safe.

"Put the jewelry away, I’m going to wash my hands," Gu Yingzhou pointed to the jewelry box on the table and got up to leave the room.

He had confidence in the little girl’s skill at hiding things.

Lin Tang nodded, put away the jewelry box, and after letting out a long breath, a faint smile appeared on her face.

The Lin Family, being poor peasants for three generations, wouldn’t get into trouble. She was more concerned about the Gu Family.

Knowing that Zhouzhou and his family were prepared, she could finally rest easy.

Gu Yingzhou quickly came back in again.

Lin Tang passed her cup to him, "Try the milk tea I made."

Today’s milk tea was an upgraded version; she added extra ingredients, making it taste at least several times better than the simple version she made before.

Gu Yingzhou sat down and took a sip from the cup.

He had always liked sweets, and this milk tea hit the spot perfectly.

The man’s eyes brightened slightly, but he maintained a mature man’s composure.

"It tastes good!" Gu Yingzhou praised conservatively.

But his body honestly took another sip.

The man, usually exuding a cool and distant charm, now relaxed completely, a contentment that was easily perceptible.

Yet, he still held the poise of a sophisticated man of society.

Seeing this almost made Lin Tang laugh out loud.

Too cute, just too cute!

"If you like it, I’ll make it for you often," she offered.

Worried that his sweet tooth might ruin his grand image in Tangtang’s eyes, Gu Yingzhou did not immediately agree, but instead asked nonchalantly, "Is it troublesome? If it’s troublesome, then never mind."

As he said this, his downcast black eyes were shining.

Lin Tang saw the man pretending to be all earnest and almost cringed with suppressed laughter.

She deliberately said, "It is quite troublesome."

Indeed, it was quite troublesome, but with her ample free time, it wasn’t too bad.

Gu Yingzhou’s expression stiffened, "..."

He had overplayed his hand!

Setting down the cup, he picked up a biscuit from the table and popped it into his mouth.

Very seriously, he changed the subject.

"These biscuits are good! Did you buy them at the Department Store?"

Lin Tang shook her head, "No, they were a gift."

A gift from someone else?

Curious about this claim, Gu Yingzhou casually asked, "Who would send food as a gift?"

"Tang Kairui," Lin Tang said with a shrug and a laugh, "I don’t know why he would send food."

While she was clueless, Gu Yingzhou had his suspicions.

Watching the little girl’s innocent face, he silently sighed to himself.

...Thankful that his parents had blessed him with a decent face, without having to strategize or scheme, he had already drawn the little girl into his embrace.

After eating one biscuit, Gu Yingzhou didn’t touch any more.

It must be the birthday gift from Tang Kairui to Tangtang, he thought; he’d leave them for the little girl.

Lin Tang looked puzzled, "You’re not eating more?"
