Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Contrary to Brian's expectation, Gu Cheng unexpectedly kept his word.

If he hadn't been deceived three times by Gu Cheng in one day, he would never have imagined that this person had such an honest and trustworthy side.

Like shrimps with soft legs, when the two of them were delivered to the butler who took care of them, Gu Cheng waved goodbye to them cordially.

"Let's play together next time. I had a lot of fun in today's swimming competition."

The housekeeper of the Luo family observed Gu Cheng's bare feet, rolled up trouser legs, and the water stains on his young master's hands and feet, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Master Gu, for sending our young master back."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Gu Cheng warned carefully: "They went too far in the game and almost drowned. Now they have no strength and can't speak. Mr. Butler, please take good care of them."

The butler nodded and bowed politely: "Thank you, Master Gu, for reminding me. We will do it."

"Isn't there anyone at Master Gu's house to pick you up? How about I arrange for someone to take you off?" the housekeeper asked with concern.

Gu Cheng waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I'm afraid they'll have to wait for a long time, so I notified them until after the game. They'll be here soon."

When the housekeeper heard this, his heart felt inexplicably.

The wind down the mountain was still noisy, but it was even more torturous than the first half hour of waiting.

Butler Luo looked at Gu Cheng, who was smiling brightly, and the fake smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but look more genuine.

"Then you can wait in the guard room first. We have turned on the heat preservation mode there. The heat inside should not have subsided yet."

"Well, I'll go first. Goodbye, Mr. Butler."

After Gu Cheng said goodbye, he turned around and trotted away, but behind him, Butler Luo returned to his fake smile and arranged for bodyguards to send his young master into the floating car.

Butler Luo was sitting in front. After the hover car started, he turned around to observe Luo Chunsheng.

The young master's body was limp and motionless, but his head was shaking randomly.

His pupils were so wide that it was scary.

His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make any sound.

If he hadn't known that the young master had temporarily lost his voice due to drowning, he would have thought that the young master had cross-eyes.

The housekeeper stopped looking at him, looked ahead and sighed in his heart: Master Gu is still approachable, like a cheerful and cute little angel.

He sighed again, why did I have to deal with this little devil Luo Chunsheng? Alas, my life is so miserable.

*

When escaping, Gu Cheng had already sent a message saying that Grandma Lu would not come to pick him up.

Therefore, Gu Cheng can only take a taxi home.

There was no one in the security room, and the two men had obviously been transferred away.

Sitting in a warm room, your body gradually warms up.

It also allowed him to calm down and check the two lists.

However, the next second, there was a "dong dong" knock on the window. Gu Cheng turned his head and saw Ruth's face appearing in front of the window.

Gu Cheng opened the window with some confusion and asked, "Ruth, why are you here?"

Ruth did not answer his question, but said: "Classmate Gu Cheng, His Highness is looking for you."

Her eyes fell on a black extended hover car.

Gu Cheng looked from a distance and saw a license plate starting with DS. Only cars belonging to members of the royal family were eligible to bear this license plate.

He seemed to be aware of Gu Cheng's gaze.

Suddenly, the anti-peeping mode of the hover car was released, and Gu Cheng could clearly see Pei Mingxu turning sideways after the car window became transparent.

He turned his head, stared at him with his deep green eyes, and said two words with his thin lips.

If Gu Cheng's lip translation is correct, those two words should be "come up".

Gu Cheng looked away this time, nodded obediently, left the security room, and entered the car from the side of the automatically opened door.

After sitting down, Gu Cheng discovered it.

Apart from him, the only people in the car were Pei Mingxu and Ruth, who was blocked by a thick partition and only the back of her head was exposed through the transparent window.

"Your Highness, are you still in school? Are you tripped up by something?"

Gu Cheng completely lost his arrogance and coldness on the river beach, and returned to the smiling face of a little angel on earth.

"Well, there's something wrong."

Pei Mingxu did not answer him directly, and the expression on his face was not obvious, but he inexplicably noticed the cuteness in Gu Cheng's character.

The smiling fox who looked fierce and domineering outside turned into a soft and cute smiling angel when he was in front of him.

This completely opposite attitude towards the outside world makes Pei Mingxu very satisfied and at ease.

In Gu Cheng's heart, he was different.

Even this difference is mixed with factors of power and status.

But if he can maintain his current position of power forever, or even advance to a higher level, why can't this difference last forever?

However, the smiling little fox doesn't know yet that he has discovered his secret.

Still trying hard to cover up his sharp claws and trying to be cute.

Pei Mingxu could imagine how wonderful the face of this little fox would be if one day he sent the video he had just taken of him threatening others with his teeth and claws bared.

Perhaps due to some kind of secret sense of control, Pei Mingxu couldn't help but pull Gu Cheng into his category.

Looking forward to a future with him.

Seeing his brief response, Gu Cheng started to look for topics to talk about.

The topic didn't last long before Gu Cheng was left speechless by Pei Mingxu's ability to end the topic.

He had information in his hand that he wanted to hand over to Pei Mingxu, but Pei Mingxu refused to answer.

He was forced to find a random topic as a start.

"...Your Highness, I'm sorry about the jar of strawberry jam."

"Ok?"

Pei Mingxu turned around.

Gu Cheng said: "My mother likes spicy food. Maybe it's because she confused red round peppers with strawberries, which makes you dizzy."

"But she really didn't mean it. If you want to punish her, just punish me. After all, it was a gift from me, but please forgive her."

He was full of hope, blinking his watery blue eyes, cute and beautiful.

Pei Mingxu knows that he has some facial control attributes, and this matter involves his own secret.

Now that Gu Cheng had given a reasonable explanation, he was naturally prepared to nod in recognition.

However, the next second, Gu Cheng's words made him swallow the words of forgiveness back into his stomach.

"Your Highness, there is actually a reason why I stayed in school today, and I also got two pieces of news related to you."

"Oh?"

Is he actually willing to confess directly?

Gu Cheng's clenched hand was placed on his lap obediently, and he said with some embarrassment: "Today, Luo Chunsheng and Brian, with their three younger brothers, blocked my way home."

"They wanted to teach me a lesson because on the first day I was the first to sit in the corner of the second row."

"Ok, I know."

"You know?" Gu Cheng seemed to have remembered something and his eyes widened in surprise: "His Highness was outside at that time?"

"You are eloquent and remember the school rules very well."

Gu Cheng didn't know why, but he blushed inexplicably.

This tone is exactly the same as that of him when he grew up.

There is a way to tease people.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and continued: "I pretended to agree, and then took advantage of them to relax their vigilance and ran to the beach of Liuyuan in a panic."

"But they still didn't let me go. They even said they would tear off my hands and feet and throw them into the lake. They also wanted to use me as a human pig and torture me forever."

"I was so scared that I just took my self-defense knife and swung it around, and then I knocked them down."

He cried and grabbed Pei Mingxu's clothes: "Your Highness, I really didn't mean to hurt them. They did it themselves. Please believe me."
