At that time, Gu Jin stood in the middle of the Chu family's ground-floor hall, timidly following behind the caretaker of the Gu family.

Because he was going to the Chu family villa, Gu Jia Da Gong specially instructed the servants to change into clean clothes. However, he was not used to standing in front of so many people, facing the curious and mocking glances. Therefore, he kept his head low.

He was clearly fourteen years old, but his body was thin and short, as if it had not developed. When he walked, he slightly hunched his back, giving the impression of being weak and feeble, as if unable to achieve anything.

"The illegitimate child of the Gu family?"

A delicate female voice came from the staircase. Gu Jin looked up, and a beautiful and adorable girl, about eleven or twelve years old, walked down from upstairs.

The third miss of the Gu family is just as pretty as this girl, exuding an air of nobility in her demeanor and actions.

As the other person approached him, Gu Jin took a step back, almost unable to control the urge to flee from this place. The girl came in front of Gu Jin and sneered, "You dare to come here? Do you really think you have the ability to enter the Chu family? I suggest you leave quickly, my brother won't see you!"

"I...," Gu Jin said, "it's not like I wanted to come here in the first place..."

"You dare to say that?" The girl grew even angrier and unexpectedly reached out her hand, about to grab his collar, when a voice suddenly came from behind, causing her to freeze in place.

"What are you doing, Chu Tao'er?"

Chu Tao'er awkwardly retracted her hand and hurriedly explained to the young man who appeared behind her, "Brother, don't you dislike Gu Jia, this illegitimate child? Tao'er was just helping you teach him a lesson."

"Did I instruct you to teach him a lesson?"

The tone of this sentence was icy cold to the extreme, and the words were filled with harsh reproach and displeasure.

Chu Tao'er completely stopped talking and stood behind him with a mournful face.

Under the sudden rush of emotions, Gu Jin's body trembled involuntarily. Gripping tightly onto his clothes, he cautiously and fearfully raised his eyes to look above.

The young man descending the spiral staircase had a slender figure. His legs, concealed beneath his long pants, were long and straight. The face on his black turtleneck sweater was exquisitely beautiful, with jet-black hair that had a soft texture resembling that of a cat.

Gu Jin's eyes met his gaze immediately, and in that instant, everything blurred before her. It felt as though fireworks exploded in her mind.

He had never seen such a beautiful person before, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Cen Xiuzhi had also witnessed the previous scene, but he knew that although Gu Jin seemed weak and helpless at the moment, he was intentionally concealing his ferocity. When the time was right, he would deliver a fatal blow to those who had looked down upon and offended him.

It is precisely because the time travelers are aware of the terrifying aspect of Gu Jin that they chose to come to his side so early, winning his favor, removing his fangs and sharp claws in advance, and finally burying the evidence of the crime on themselves.

Cen Xiuzhi looked at the slender and dazed expression of the male protagonist. He lightly hooked the corners of his lips, walked down the stairs, and went straight to him. Turning his head, he asked the steward next to Gu Jin, "Is this the young master of your Gu family?"

The other party hurriedly said, "Young Master Chu, this child is not used to seeing so many people for the first time, so he may not be aware of his words. Please understand."

When Gu Jin heard the two words "Chu Shao," he instantly understood that the handsome young man in front of him was his fiancé. Thinking of the other party insisting on breaking the engagement, Gu Jin could only bury his face lower.
