Chapter 673: Master Gu 470 woke up_2

Gu Yecheng also faintly curled his lips, "It’s been a while. However, the person behind the ’lure the tiger away from the mountain’ strategy wasn’t you, was it?"

"Of course not. If it were me, would I be so foolish as to only realize now that Young Master Gu has awakened? On the other hand, Young Master Gu, what a coincidence that you awoke—was it really just luck, or had you actually woken up a long time ago and just hadn’t shown yourself?"

"I had intended to sleep a little longer, but couldn’t help it when someone made a move against my wife. I had to wake up. In the middle of the night, the Men Family Head brings people to surround the Gu Family. If outsiders saw this, they might misunderstand. After all, the Men Family has just come into power. They surely can’t be coveting the position of the Gu Family Head so soon."

"I just wanted to verify that Young Master Gu was safe. Now that Young Master Gu is about to wake up, there is naturally no need for me to remain here, Young Master Gu. You are indeed fortunate."

"Yes, my luck is indeed not bad. Yours isn’t bad either. If Xu Xuezi hadn’t attacked me all of a sudden, your plan might not have been advanced, and your takeover of the Xu Family headship wouldn’t have gone so smoothly, would it?"

There’s an old saying: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"It seems that Young Master Gu has indeed been awake for quite some time, having investigated all these matters so clearly and thoroughly," Men Chao, of course, didn’t believe Gu Yecheng had just woken up.

A person who had lain in bed for months couldn’t possibly be this spirited immediately upon waking up. From his vitality, Gu Yecheng surely had been awake for quite a while.

When had he awakened, and why hadn’t he received even a snippet of news?

Or was it that, regarding his awakening, he hadn’t told a single soul, not even his parents or Su Xiaofeng?

"It’s good you didn’t appear before others without recovering first, isn’t it?" Gu Yecheng didn’t deny it. Since he was awake, there was no point in quibbling over the exact timing of his awakening.

"If that’s the case, then I will take my leave first." Men Chao waved his hand and led his people to leave. As he passed by Xiaofeng, he suddenly stopped: "Young Madam, are you all right?"

His heart had been somewhat anxious upon hearing the news of Su Xiaofeng’s disappearance, but rationale told him he must not inquire about any news regarding Su Xiaofeng.

Su Xiaofeng belonged to the Gu Family, not the Xu Family, and certainly not to him.

"Thank you, Family Head Men, for your concern. My husband arrived just in time, or the consequences would have been unimaginable," Xiaofeng replied, lips faintly curling.

"As long as you’re fine. It seems Young Madam is indeed a person of good fortune." Men Chao didn’t say anything further and led his people away.

Watching Men Family Head leaving with his people, the butler strode over: "Young Master, Young Madam, you’re back. Family Head Men insisted that Young Master Gu would be in danger tonight and wanted to check on you. I’ve been trying to stop him. Thankfully, you returned, or else Family Head Men would have forced his way in."

"He just wanted to make sure I was in the house. As for forcing his way in, he definitely wouldn’t dare to at the moment," Gu Yecheng said. "He just took over the Xu Family and wouldn’t dare to make a move against them."

Upon returning to the Gu Family, the twins had already fallen asleep.

To avoid disturbing their sleep, they merely wiped their hands and faces, allowing them to continue sleeping.

Now that Gu Yecheng was awake, Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng naturally didn’t need to stay in Grandpa’s room. They moved back to their own bedroom.

Xiaofeng lay sprawled on the bed in a starfish pose, extremely exhausted.

Yecheng wanted to drag her to take a bath, but she turned over and coquettishly said, "I’m too tired, not bathing."

She just wanted to sleep now, so very sleepy.

Seeing her like this, Yecheng picked her up and headed for the bathroom: "You just need to close your eyes, I’ll help you."

Xiaofeng, half scared out of her sleepiness, protested, "No need, I can do it myself."

After all, she was not a little kid anymore.

"Wife." Yecheng placed her back on the bed: "Sleep, I won’t bathe either."

Xiaofeng: "...."

What on earth is this maneuver?

Gu Yecheng held Xiaofeng as if he could never hold her enough, and they lay there together, soon falling asleep.

...

"The mission failed, and the person was taken back by Gu Yecheng," a young woman stood before Lan Shuixian, recounting the events of the night.

The woman standing before Shuixian was none other than Lin Jing, who had originally planned to side with Xu Xuezi. But with the sudden mishap of Xu Xuezi, the out-of-options Lin Jing, who had wanted to return, accidentally crossed paths with Lan Shuixian by a twist of fate.

"A bunch of trash." Lan Shui Xian languished on the sofa.

"Boss, could this thing trace back to us?" Lin Jing had been raised by Lan Shui Xian for the past few months and had only recently been allowed to start working.

"What’s there to be afraid of, so what if it does?" Lan Shui Xian remained unconcerned, "If we fail this time, we just wait for the next opportunity. During this period, you just stay here, don’t go anywhere."

"Yes."

...

It was nearing noon when Xiaofeng finally woke up.

Upon waking, Gu Yecheng had just come out from the bathroom, and seeing Xiaofeng awake, he grinned, "Awake?"

"You’re still at home, didn’t go out today?"

"The news of my awakening must be out by now, so there have been quite a few guests at home. Shall we go out together later?" The news that the young master of the Gu Family had awakened would certainly bring many people to pay their congratulations.

Xiaofeng understood and sat up from the bed, grabbing clothes to head to the bathroom.

Yecheng watched her lethargic manner and couldn’t fathom how she had dealt with those people last night, using chili powder against the bad guys. He guessed that probably only she could come up with such a method.

When Xiaofeng came out, she saw him staring at her like an idiot and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, "You’ve been staring for so long, haven’t had enough yet?"

It wasn’t the first time waking up, yet he behaved as if it was.

"Never enough, I could never get enough of this in a lifetime." Yecheng helped her comb her hair, which was of excellent quality, and not just her hair—her skin had also improved a lot.

"Wife, I’ve noticed that your hair and skin have improved a lot since giving birth. Your skin can now compare with our Xiaobao’s."

Xiaofeng certainly couldn’t tell Yecheng that she had a space and had consumed a lot from it, which was why her body was in such good shape.

After Gu Yecheng had finished helping Xiaofeng do her hair, the two left the house together.

Outside, both the old master of the Gu Family and Yan Junmei’s couple were there.

And there were quite a few guests sitting next to them, all of whom had heard that the young master of the Gu Family had awakened and had brought gifts to wish him well.

Bai Liuniang and Haige were also there.

Bai Liuniang had not wanted to come, but Haige insisted.

Young people have their own ideas, so Bai Liuniang had to come along.

"Young Master Gu indeed has a divine protection, having safely passed through an ordeal. He shall undoubtedly live a life of wealth and safety."

"Indeed, indeed, Young Master Gu has never been ordinary since childhood. Having survived such a great calamity, his life henceforth will surely be long and prosperous."

Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng walked into the living room hand in hand, and upon their arrival, they were greeted with all kinds of flattering words.

Xiaofeng twitched with irritation upon hearing them; this bunch was really too opportunistic. When Yecheng was in trouble, they went around inquiring if Yecheng was dead yet.

And now that Yecheng was fine, they started with their sweet talk again.

"Young Master Gu has arrived."

"The Young Madam is here too."

"Hello to all the uncles, grandfathers." Gu Yecheng pulled Xiaofeng down to sit with him.

"Good, good," everyone said, eyeing Gu Yecheng and thinking only one thing: the young master looked even more imposing than before.

It was indeed strange, the first time they had heard of someone lying in bed for months and coming out with such a drastic and strengthened change in both spirit and presence.

Apart from the young master of the Gu Family, a second person like this was probably hard to find.
