Black Lotus

Seeing that Gu Yansheng was about to get mad for real this time, Zhou Yuanfeng didn’t continue, “Fine fine fine, I’ll stop.”

He then turned to Wen Niannan and said, “Niannan, you should return to your room and have some rest. It should be tiring for you today.”

“Ok, thank you, Yuanfeng.” Wen Niannan nodded and said softly.

Glancing at the mad person beside him, Zhou Yuanfeng went upstairs.

Gu Yansheng humphed and walked downstairs toward the sofa, as he thought about that smile he saw just then.

Seeing Gu Yansheng coming toward him, Wen Niannan’s smile gradually disappeared, and his body tensed up.

Gu Yansheng, with a cold expression, sat down on the other side of the sofa and said impatiently, “Get me some coffee.”

Hearing no response, Gu Yansheng looked over.

“It’s bad to drink coffee so late at night. You won’t be able to fall asleep.”

“Just do as you are told! What’s up with all the talking?”

“No.”

Gu Yansheng thought that he heard it wrong. His eyes changed and said in a lower voice, “What did you say?”

Wen Niannan looked up seriously, “Mom told you to take care of me, not me to take care of you.”

As Uncle Xu heard the noise, Uncle Xu came over and asked worriedly, “Sir, do you want coffee? I’ll make some for you right now.”

Gu Yansheng didn’t say anything else and just stared at Wen Niannan fiercely. 

Suddenly, he went over and grabbed over Wen Niannan’s hand. Wen Niannan was so shocked by this sudden movement that before he could realize, he was already on Gu Yansheng’s lap.

Terrified, Wen Niannan tried to get out of Gu Yansheng’s control and said, “You… what do you want to do?”

He suddenly remembered when he was locked in the basement and looked up, trying to call for help.

“Mom…uh…”

Before he could say anything, a hand covered his mouth, and Wen Niannan was just about to bite on it.

His head was twisted over and Wen Niannan saw the devil-like person.

“Go ahead! I dare you to bite me.”

Gu Yansheng’s threatening tone scared the person in front of him. 

“Don’t alert the people upstairs, got it?” Then, he let go of his hands.

Uncle Xu saw this and wanted to help out the situation, but before he could make a word, a voice stopped him.

“Get out!” As if he was afraid that he would be too loud, his yell was even quieter than usual.

“But sir, his body is still weaker than before…”

“I told you to get out!”

Uncle Xu nodded and left the living room, glancing nervously at the two on the sofa. 

“Let… go…” Wen Niannan tried to push the hand away from his head, but then a sharp ripping pain came again to him.

Gu Yansheng looked at the terrified expression on the person’s face, and his anger rose.

He grabbed onto Wen Niannan’s hair and said with his cold voice, “How come you are so complying to people around me, smiling and flattering, and just when I’m here you have to show such indifference?  How are you so good at pretending?”

Wen Niannan didn’t understand why Gu Yansheng would be so mad, but with the pain from the grab on his hair, he didn’t want to be locked inside the basement again.

“I… I didn’t. Gu Yansheng, let go of me… it… hurts…”

Hearing this, Gu Yansheng became even colder, and said sarcastically, “What? Haven’t you always been calling me Yansheng all along? Why did you add my family name now?”

The person didn’t reply for a long time, so Gu Yansheng raised his hand and looked at the person. When their eyes met, he was a bit stunned.

The person’s eyes were red, and there were tears hanging from his eyelashes, trembling because of fear.

The two hands were still pushing on him but when the person looked up, his eyes brightened.
