Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 10) Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 10) Gu Shengyin did not return home on time after school today.

He Junyan came home from work and did not see the figure that usually greeted him first, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He called the driver who was supposed to pick Gu Shengyin up.

“The young miss said she was treating classmates to dinner and would not be coming back for the time being.”

“Classmates? What classmates?” He Junyan’s heart sounded an alarm. This was the first time Qingqing hadn’t come home on time to eat.

The driver merely stated he was not sure himself.

That evening, Gu Shengyin returned home in high spirits.

He Junyan was not in the living room, and she checked the time; it was not yet eight o’clock. Normally at this time, Uncle He would be watching the news in the living room.

Though puzzled, she still planned to go to her room first.

There was already someone in the room.

“Uncle He?” Gu Shengyin was somewhat surprised. As she had grown older, He Junyan, to avoid suspicion, had rarely come into her room.

Despite her surprise, she was still happy.

He Junyan’s expression was taut, clearly in a bad mood.

He stared at Gu Shengyin who had just entered, “I heard from the driver that you went out to treat your classmates to dinner tonight?”

Gu Shengyin, not understanding why, nodded.

“Was it the one named Zhang Susu who sits next to you?”

Gu Shengyin nodded again.

Looking at the outstanding young girl standing before him, He Junyan could not describe the emotion in his heart.

She was like a treasure that had fallen into his palms. Over five years, he had slowly polished her, revealing her most dazzling form.

Indeed, with her outstanding qualities, she would definitely attract many discerning people who liked her, and there would be even more in her future.

Perhaps one day in the far future, some stranger would snatch her away from him. From then on, she would be adored by someone else; her life would have nothing to do with him.

How could he bear such a thing?

Thinking of these possibilities, He Junyan’s eyes started to show veins.

“Uncle He, what’s wrong?” The young girl’s worried voice brought him back to his senses.

He Junyan looked up at Gu Shengyin, whose head had now reached his chest, and uncontrollably blurted out, “Do you have someone you like?”

The young girl seemed stunned for a moment, clearly caught off guard by the question.

Then, her face slowly flushed a shade of red.

This faint blush, set against her jade-like complexion, was strikingly beautiful.

He Junyan’s heart sank.

Her appearance clearly showed that she had feelings for someone else!

He Junyan could not describe his feelings at that moment; half of his heart felt as if it was being roasted over a fire, agonizingly painful; the other half as if it were encased in ice, chilling to the bone.

“I didn’t raise you to this age for you to fall in love early, Su Keqing!” He Junyan called out her full name for the first time.

“You’ve disappointed me too much!” After saying this, He Junyan left without looking back, slamming the door behind him, leaving Gu Shengyin standing dazed in her room.

Gu Shengyin in bewilderment: “System, did he misunderstand something?”

System: “According to normal human reasoning, He Junyan probably thinks the host likes Zhang Susu.”

Gu Shengyin: “He didn’t even give me a chance to explain clearly.” Moreover, seeing He Junyan’s current state, it was clear he hadn’t figured out his own feelings for Su Keqing; even if Gu Shengyin confessed, it would likely not yield any good results.
