Chapter 2: Could It Be That, Uncle, You’re Actually Just A Small Fry ~

Is this system messing with me? In the end, I still have to solve this adultery problem by myself? This broken system is such a useless garbage! What use are you?

If I fail, and I have to become the “hot weapon” of the child of destiny?

I don’t want to become a hot weapon!!

So, even though I was panicking inside, I had no choice but to face it head-on.

However, after the system’s interference, Ye Xiao finally calmed down a little.

She stood up and walked toward the door, her peripheral vision catching the cat-ear pajamas reflected in the full-length mirror.

Looking closely at the delicate porcelain doll-like figure in the mirror, it was enough to melt anyone’s heart with cuteness.

Ye Xiao suddenly realized that she had been so frightened by the sudden adulterer-catching situation that she had completely forgotten one very important fact—she was a girl!

Now, the incident that had just left Ye Xiao flustered and in disarray seemed like a complete joke from start to finish.

Understanding the key point, Ye Xiao no longer panicked. While thinking, she covered her mouth with one hand and couldn’t help but smile smugly, her whole demeanor turning proud and arrogant.

At this moment, comparing the calm, haughty Ye Xiao to the previously anxious, weak, and helpless version of her was like looking at two completely different people.

Outside the room, Gu Tingyuan’s face was dark as he watched his subordinates continuously knocking on the door.

The loud banging, as if they were trying to tear the place down, had already woken up almost every guest on this floor. Many had opened their doors to see what was going on but were quickly intimidated back into their rooms by the suited bodyguards wearing sunglasses.

Even the people in other rooms had been woken up by the noise. The people inside the room must have been awake for a long time, yet they still hadn’t opened the door.

Originally, Gu Tingyuan didn’t believe that his wife would betray him or have an affair.

But when the check-in records of Su Ruoxue with an unfamiliar man, as well as the surveillance footage from the hotel lobby, were presented to him, he had no choice but to believe it.

As for further investigation, he could only let his subordinates handle that.

Whoever that man was, daring to touch Gu Tingyuan’s woman, he had no reason to remain in Binhai City. This matter must be investigated to the end!

As for Su Ruoxue… the mere thought of his wife indulging under another man drove Gu Tingyuan mad with rage.

Today, Su Ruoxue had not only shamed herself but had also disgraced Gu Tingyuan, and by extension, the entire Gu family.

Now, the entire Binhai City, especially those with some influence, seemed to be waiting to watch this drama unfold.

It’s rare to witness the humiliation of the Gu and Su families.

With that thought, Gu Tingyuan’s face grew even darker.

“Brother, I’ve got the room card. It’ll be brought to the building right away!”

Behind Gu Tingyuan, a man who bore a strong resemblance to him spoke into the phone before approaching and nodding to Gu Tingyuan.

“Sister-in-law is really something. Lately, Binhai City hasn’t been peaceful. Several family businesses want to band together to oppose our Gu family, and yet she still goes out on her own…”

“He was Gu Tingxuan, Gu Tingyuan’s younger brother. He didn’t believe for a second that his sister-in-law would have an affair.”

“Shut up!”

Gu Tingyuan snapped coldly.

Gu Tingxuan immediately shrank back, not daring to say another word. He feared that if he said anything more, even his allowance for the month would be cut off by Gu Tingyuan.

“Kick the door down!”

Every second spent lingering in the hotel hallway was pure torture for Gu Tingyuan, especially with the “reporters” crowding the hallway behind him, making him even more annoyed.

“Yes, sir!”

The bodyguard nodded.

“Click!”

Just as the bodyguard was about to kick the door down, it was opened from the inside.

“What’s going on here? It’s so early in the morning, and you’re making so much noise. Are you trying to tear the place down? How are people supposed to sleep like this?”

A crisp voice laced with a hint of complaint rang out, as if the person was genuinely annoyed by the noise disturbing their sleep.

Everyone’s attention shifted to the door.

But while the voice could be heard, no one could see the speaker.

Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly stepped aside, allowing Gu Tingyuan and Gu Tingxuan to finally see the person who had opened the door.

The lighting in the hotel corridor was somewhat dim, but the golden strands of hair shone brilliantly under the light.

“What an adorable and beautiful young girl!”

Everyone around couldn’t help but praise her in their hearts.

“Ye Xiao?”

Gu Tingyuan furrowed his brows at the sight of the little girl in front of him.

He, of course, knew her. As the sister of his white moonlight (First Love), Ye Xiao’s original body and Gu Tingyuan were acquainted with each other.

“Why was it her?”

Gu Tingxuan was equally puzzled.

No one had expected that the person who would emerge from the room would be such a cute and petite girl.

“Wasn’t today supposed to be about catching Gu Tingyuan’s wife, Su Ruoxue, in the act of adultery?”

“So, this is what President Gu is into. No wonder he ended up choosing to marry Su Ruoxue in the end.”

“I heard that before, even the more powerful Lu and Li families wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Gu family, but no one expected that President Gu would choose Su Ruoxue!”

Since marrying Gu Tingyuan, Su Ruoxue had lived a reclusive life, never appearing in public, so these media reporters didn’t know what she looked like.

“Stop making wild guesses. That’s Ye Xiao, the younger sister of President Gu’s white moonlight (First Love)!”

Someone who recognized Ye Xiao explained. This reporter had once been a university classmate of Gu Tingyuan. Back then, Gu Tingyuan and his white moonlight (First Love) didn’t end up together, leaving many people with regrets.

“President Gu’s white moonlight? Tell us more!”

There was a story here! Suddenly, many people became interested.

All at once, the reporters gathered behind them began chattering among themselves.

Ye Xiao placed one hand on her hip, pretending to be surprised, then gently covered her mouth with the other hand, showing a playful smile, “What’s wrong with me? Eh~ Isn’t this Uncle Gu~ Don’t you know it’s rude to make noise while people are trying to sleep…”

Ye Xiao didn’t even realize that she now looked exactly like the mischievous little demon girls from the books she had read in her previous life.

“It was the signature smirk of a little demon girl!”

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Tingyuan, growing impatient, interrupted her, “Ye Xiao, what are you doing here? Where’s Ruoxue?”

“Wow, are the standards to become a president so low now? Don’t you even know the most basic manners?”

“Hey, what’s your name again? Is everyone in the Gu family so rude, interrupting people and disturbing their rest?”

“Huh? Me? I’m Gu Tingxuan…”

Gu Tingxuan pointed to himself, somewhat dumbfounded by her question.

He was just a rich second-generation kid who only knew how to indulge in food, drink, and fun. With his older brother shouldering the family responsibilities, he had nothing to worry about. Being suddenly called out by Ye Xiao left him completely confused.

“Uncle Gu, are you here this early in the morning to catch someone cheating? But Uncle, why did you end up coming to my room?”

Ye Xiao continued her exaggerated taunting tone.

“……”

“Hey~ Uncle, if you are here to catch someone cheating, why don’t you go in and take a look yourself?”

“Are you afraid? Yes, after all, uncle, you’re the president of the Gu Group, which everyone in Binhai City fears, but wants to cling to. Even if Sister Su really cheated, you don’t want so many people to see it. After all, this is not a good thing for the Gu family in any way ~”

Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, revealing two sharp canine teeth at the corners of her mouth.

As she spoke, her eyes could not help but scrutinize Gu Tingyuan.

It must be said that Gu Tingyuan, as the legendary son of destiny, is tall and handsome.

It was no wonder that women, upon seeing someone like Gu Tingyuan, would immediately become love-struck fools and be surrounded by the aura of reduced intelligence.

But it’s a pity that, Ye Xiao didn’t like men. Gu Tingyuan’s charms didn’t work on her!

“So? Uncle Gu, why are you so worried about Sister Su cheating?”

“Uncle, Do you think someone as cute as me would do anything to her?”

Ye Xiao said this with an innocent and confused expression.

In the end, Ye Xiao’s eyes stopped between Gu Tingyuan’s legs.

“Could it be that, Uncle, you’re actually just a small fry ~”

The blonde little girl bent forward slightly, her pale cheeks tinged with a blush—whether from excitement or the cold air outside the room, it was hard to say.

Paired with her cute face, it was enough to make any man feel tense, and Gu Tingyuan, who had been repeatedly provoked, was no exception!

He was tense, tense! His fists clenched!

“Enough! Ye Xiao!”
