Chapter 25: I Think I've Fallen in Love with You

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Night, quiet and still.

  Under the moonlight, Ling Luo Creek found that Chu Nan was still wide awake and asked: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

  Chu Nan came back to his senses and looked towards the bed, where Zero Luo Xi's head and small hands were exposed outside the covers, curled up like a kitten in the blankets. For some reason, every time he looked at her, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel a little tender towards this little girl, as if he wanted to hold her in his palm and protect her from getting hurt, or put her in his mouth and keep her safe from melting away.

  Chu Nan sat up with his back against the wall and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping? What are you thinking about again?"

  "I... I count sheep. Every time I couldn't sleep, I would count sheep. One, two... as I counted, I fell asleep."

  Chu Nan smiled: "Then why didn't you count?"

  "As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that there was no sheep in front of me at all, but a donkey instead."

  "Donkey?"

  "Yes, someone is in a bad mood and unhappy, so they pull a long donkey face, isn't that just like a donkey!"

  Chu Nan shook his head and smiled slightly, exhaling a long breath to release all the depression in his chest, and said softly: "Sorry."

  Ling Luo Creek blinked her beautiful eyes: "What's the point of saying sorry?"

  "Am I annoying you?"

  Ling Luo Creek's smiling eyes curved into a crescent moon: "So it's all right then?"

  Ling Luo Creek suddenly flipped over and lay on the bed, with both hands propping up her chin, blinking at Chu Nan: "Chu big brother, have you fallen in love with me?"

  "My god, what's wrong with you, little girl? Is there anyone as self-absorbed as you? I..." Chu Nan looked at Ling Luo Xi staring straight into his eyes, suddenly didn't know what to say, and his voice trailed off smaller and smaller until it stopped abruptly.

  "However, I think I've fallen in love with you."

  Chu Nan felt as if a certain string in his heart had been plucked, and he inexplicably didn't know what to say.

  Ling Luo Creek said softly: "The first time I saw you, I just thought you were a very interesting person and also very easy to bully. But later I found out that you are a bit bad, with a pervert inside, but still quite charming. It wasn't until you helped me teach Zheng Hao Long a lesson that I realized, I really like the feeling of being taken care of by you, especially when you said that sentence, 'Ling Luo Creek is my woman, whoever dares to touch Ling Luo Creek's hair, I will dig up their ancestral grave and kill their whole family!' Do you know how charming those words are to a girl? I even really felt that you are my Saint Warrior, you are my guardian angel."

  "Until these two days, you and Pei Pei were too close, I was jealous. Hua Linglong that flirtatious woman seduced you, I was envious. Chu Da Ge, do you think I really fell in love with you?"

  Chu Nan opened his mouth, but his throat was choked with emotion and he couldn't speak. Chu Nan had never been in contact with women since childhood and didn't know what it felt like to fall in love with one. But now, he felt a mix of tension, excitement, and happiness in his heart, so much that his nose felt sour. This feeling was completely different from the temptation brought by Hua Linglong.

  Ling Luo Creek smiled lightly: "I'm not sure if I really fell in love with you, but if I did, humph, even if you want to run away, I'll pull you back to my side and won't let anyone take you away! My little man, I'm going to sleep now!"

  Ling Luo Creek flipped over and turned her body around, facing away from Chu Nan.

  Chu Nan stared at Zero Luo Xi's small back, his eyes dazed for a long time before lying down again. He muttered softly to himself: "Little Zero, goodnight. Chu Ge will be your Saint Warrior, your guardian angel."

  Ling Luo Creek turned his back on Chu Nan and suddenly chuckled.

  The next morning, Chu Nan suddenly had a nightmare that someone was choking his throat and he couldn't breathe. He woke up with a start to find Zero Luo Xi pinching his nose with a mischievous grin on her face. Infuriated, he shouted: "What's wrong with you? Can't even let me sleep in the morning! Why are you teasing me?"

  "Heh heh...... You sleep so soundly, it's quite interesting. Brother Chu, I want to chat with you."

  Chu Nan rubbed his eyes, sighed with a bitter smile and sat up, grabbing his shirt to put it on: "What are you talking about? Spit it out, what kind of nonsense are you going to spout again?"

  Ling Luo Creek sat beside Chu Nan and asked: "Brother Chu, after listening to Uncle Wu's words last night, what do you think?"

  Chu Nan's expression turned serious, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said in a solemn tone: "I'll first find a way to investigate the matter clearly, then think about how to take revenge."

  "Oh, okay then, so how are you going to proceed with the investigation?"

  "This..."

  Ling Luo's eyes sparkled with cunning as he smiled and said, "If you go ask Zheng Guangran directly, he'll definitely not admit it. Actually, I think all you need to do is find an old employee of the Zheng Corporation, but they have to be part of the core team. If you can dig up that they indeed tried to take over Uncle Chu's family business before Auntie's car accident, and had even planned it out beforehand, then the facts will basically be clear."

  Chu Nan nodded and said, "You're right."

  Ling Luo coldly smiled and said: "Some things we don't need too much solid direct evidence. If it's confirmed that the Zheng family tried to take over your family's company back then, then it proves that Chu uncle's death is at least indirectly related to Zheng Guangran. After all, although Chu uncle was depressed after auntie passed away, he ultimately died from a fatal blow in the business world. As for auntie's car accident back then, didn't you save an old police chief two days ago? Why not ask him about it?"

  Chu Nan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly: "Exactly! How come I didn't think of that?"

  "Hmph, so you're saying I'm not as clever as you? Brother Chu, I've decided on something."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Starting today, I'm going with you to make money, so you won't be flirting with little girls everywhere!"

  "Alright then." Chu Nan put on his pants and stood up, "Is this what they mean by husband and wife being in harmony?"

  "Alright then!" The two of them started teasing each other, and Xiao Ling wasn't afraid at all. She smiled and laughed, making Chu Nan lose face again.

  Gu Cheng was fixed by Chu Nan again, and the Gu family lost face. After Gu Baishun finished scolding his son, he made a phone call to Wu Bei early in the morning.

  Wu Pei was sitting in her father Wu Changqing's room, answering the phone, and hearing that it was Mr. Gu from the Gu family, she smiled and said: "Uncle Gu, my dad has woken up, you should discuss this matter with him, he is the one who makes decisions at home."

  "Then give me the phone and let Wu Da Ge tell me what's going on."

  Wu Pei handed her mobile phone to Wu Changqing, who was now much more spirited, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's Uncle Gu on the phone, about Chu Gege."

  Wu Changqing picked up the phone and laughed: "Guo younger brother, what's wrong? My body has just recovered, and you're calling to interrogate me?"

  Although the Gu family in Jiangwan City is not small, it is still far inferior to the Wu family. However, the private relationship between Gu Baishun and Wu Changqing is not bad. In fact, Gu Baishun does not like his son to pursue Zheng Miaomiao, he prefers Wu Pei instead. Unfortunately, on the one hand, his son is infatuated with Zheng Miaomiao, and on the other hand, he himself feels that his son is not worthy of Wu Pei, and it's hard for him to pursue her even if he wants to.

  Since his son likes her so much, he might as well pursue her. After all, Zheng Miao Miao is very excellent, and although she can't compare to Wu Bei, the two families are also a good match. However, he didn't expect his son to be so foolish, being used by Zheng Miao Miao twice in a row. He's furious now, scolding Gu Cheng severely. No matter who was right or wrong, he must save face, so he called Wu's family to ask them to let him go.

  After hearing Wu Changqing's words, Gu Baishun also felt that it was not good to make a big deal out of this matter at this time. So, even though he was still angry in his heart, he said: "Old brother Wu, have you recovered from your illness? I heard that you were seriously ill a few days ago, and I even called your wife BeiBei twice to ask about your condition. I'll come visit you in a few days."

  Wu Changqing smiled and said: "Alright then, thank you for your concern, little brother. This phone call of yours is to ask me for a favor, isn't it? For Chu Nan, right?"

  Gu Bai let out a sigh and said with a tone of helplessness: "My son is not making things easy for me, being used by Zheng's daughter as a gun. The first time was when he was beaten up by Chu Nan and had three fingers broken. I knew I was in the wrong, but mainly because I heard that my son now has a relationship with your family, so I let him off. This time, no matter who is right or wrong, he actually made my useless son roll out of a seafood restaurant onto the street! He didn't even spare his face when hitting him, this move is just too vicious! Wu brother, I hope you can hand over the person for me to deal with, give your younger brother some face and leave him a way out, but this face must be returned!"

  Wu Changqing smiled and said: "Guo younger brother, I'm very willing to help you save face, but this time, it's really not possible for me to give you face."

  Gu Bai Shun got somewhat agitated: "Why? Just for a stinky little brat?"

  Wu Changqing smiled and said, "Then do you know how I got sick this time? I was poisoned with a deadly poison. I invited two of the country's most famous medical experts to see me, and they both determined that I couldn't be saved."

  Gu Baishun was shocked: "Poisoned?"

  "That's right." Wu Chang said with a cold smile, "Zheng Guang is ruthless enough. Although I don't have evidence to say it was him who did it, but let me advise you, it's best for the Zheng family to be less contacted, otherwise, they won't even know how they died."

  Gu Bai Shun felt somewhat depressed and grumbled, "That damned little brat is getting more and more disobedient. I'll lock him up at home when we get back!"

  "Alright, try to keep your kid in check. Wealth doesn't last for three generations, and I don't want to appear at your house again. This time, I almost got poisoned to death, but was saved by that kid Chunan. Do you think I can still trust people?"

  Gu Bai Shun didn't make a sound, the gratitude for saving his life was greater than heaven, if it were himself, he wouldn't hand over the person who saved his life either, or else he would be heartless and inhumane!

  "What's more important is that he is not only my benefactor but also the son of an old friend."

  "Who?"

  "Long live Chu!"
