It was dinner time at six o'clock in Cloudtop Apartment.
Su Qianqian had already taken a shower and was nestled on the living - room sofa, scrolling through her phone.
All the vicious comments online were gone, leaving only sporadic disputes about her acting skills.
She let out a soft breath. Without having to guess, she knew whose doing it was.
She tapped her fingertip on the screen and sent a cute emoji, [Kitten Rubbing.ipg], to the contact at the top of her chat list, "Su Su's Power Bank".
Almost at the same time, Gu Chengyu came back.
Su Qianqian immediately looked up, her almond - shaped eyes sparkling as she looked towards the door.
Gu Chengyu also glanced towards the sofa. When he saw the little figure in bright yellow at home, his eyebrows softened with a gentle smile.
"A Yu!"
Su Qianqian trotted over in her soft - soled slippers, looking sweet and obedient. "You're back so early today."
Gu Chengyu naturally opened his arms and easily wrapped her in his embrace. The orange blossom scent of the shower gel on her body mixed with her natural fragrance lingered around his nose.
He said indulgently, "Yeah, I was afraid a certain little girl would be scared by the bad comments online, so I came back early to check on you."
Su Qianqian snorted in his arms. "No, I wasn't."
"I'm very brave."
Gu Chengyu smiled and scanned the living room with his eyes. "Are you hungry? Isn't dinner ready yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Auntie Zhang quickly walked out from the direction of the dining room, bending slightly. "Young Master Gu."
"Dinner is just ready. Shall I set the table now?"
"Sure."
Gu Chengyu responded and led Su Qianqian towards the dining table with his arm around her.
"Okay." Auntie Zhang immediately agreed and turned to the kitchen to make arrangements.
On the dining table, several dishes were beautifully presented. The chef had obviously put a lot of thought into it.
Gu Chengyu pulled out the chair at the head of the table but didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he gently pressed Su Qianqian into the chair first.
Then he took his seat beside her.
Auntie Zhang and another part - time worker quickly brought the last soup and rice to the table.
The part - time worker went back to the kitchen to help the chef clean up, while Auntie Zhang stood by attentively.
There was a look of respect on her face, but there was also a sincere smile in her eyes.
Working in a top - tier wealthy family like the Gu family, the most feared thing was having a picky and difficult - to - serve master.
But here in Cloudtop, although Young Master Gu was imposing, he never deliberately made things difficult for the servants.
Miss Qianqian was even more gentle - natured.
Most importantly, these two masters had a very good relationship and preferred to be alone most of the time.
It was common for them to tell the servants to go back after serving dinner.
The salary was extremely high, several times that of ordinary 24 - hour on - call jobs, and the work was relatively easy.
Moreover, in order to facilitate them to take care of Miss Qianqian and be available at any time, Young Master Gu had asked Special Assistant Zhao to arrange accommodation for them in this building. This was something that many people envied.
At the dining table, Gu Chengyu picked up his chopsticks, picked a piece of cherry - flavored pork, and put it on the small plate in front of Su Qianqian.
"Try it. It looks good."
Su Qianqian nodded and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread on her tongue, and the meat was tender and soft.
She nodded her little head at him to show that it was delicious.
Looking at her cute little face with slightly puffed cheeks as she ate, Gu Chengyu felt very satisfied.
He also started to eat, taking his time.
Twenty minutes later, both of them were almost full.
Su Qianqian picked up the water cup beside her and took a small sip. Then she looked at Gu Chengyu, her voice full of curiosity. "A Yu, what will happen to those people who were sued online?"
Gu Chengyu said casually, "It's just to teach them a lesson. At most, they'll have a criminal record."
"Those with previous convictions might be sentenced to one or two years."
"Although the crime of slander can only be filed in serious cases, the few people I picked had a bad record before, so it's easy to convict them."
Su Qianqian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She trusted that he knew what he was doing and knew that he was protecting her.
After thinking for a while, she whispered to him, "Actually, I really didn't care too much about what they said."
"Hmm?" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Su Qianqian looked up at him seriously. "Because I know what they said isn't true."
She tilted her head slightly, looking very determined. "Moreover, I'll act the role of Lin Wan well and show them that I'm not just a pretty face."
Looking at her serious, sweet, and obedient appearance, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but reach out and gently rub her delicate little face with his fingertips.
He also told her seriously, "Yeah, I've always known and believed in you."
"But Qianqian, just because you don't care doesn't mean I won't feel sorry for you. Do you understand?"
Su Qianqian tilted her head and pressed her little face into his palm. Her voice was soft and waxy. "I know, A Yu."
"As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything."
