The Prime Minister’s Darling C.84 - : 83 Beating up Dad (First Update)_2

Chapter 84: 83 Beating up Dad (First Update)_2

Gu Yan was standing in the corridor, smiling and watching her.

Gu Jiao: Stop looking! Stop looking and laughing! I have absolutely no face left!

Gu Jiao cast a scornful glance at Gu Yan.

Just at that moment, the puppy woke up, whimpering and started looking for Gu Jiao.

Gu Yan picked it up.

The little puppy shuddered in fear as it neared Gu Yan, whimpering loudly.

Gu Yan did not hold back his lethal gaze.

He lacked compassion, despised these adorable creatures, especially when this one had been held by her…

She never held me!

Gu Yan looked at it with envy, as if he would squish it in the next second.

The puppy felt Gu Yan’s killing intent and its cries got louder.

“Yelp! Yelp! Yelp!”

Gu Yan snorted: “Just for her sake, I’ll spare you.”

Although he hated that little creature, she liked it. Therefore, he could somewhat tolerate it.

When Lord Gu stepped into the courtyard, he saw Gu Jiao and Gu Yan squatting on the grass in the front yard, building a doghouse.

A pile of timber was scattered on the ground, Gu Jiao was cutting, while Gu Yan was assembling, nails were also hammered by Gu Jiao.

They were perfectly in sync. Every time Gu Jiao completed one step, Gu Yan knew what the next one was, even though he never built a doghouse before.

Both had a similar taste.

All sorts of mattresses for the doghouse were brought by the servants, and both either liked or disliked the same ones.

They looked like playful children, both enjoying the other’s company.

So they were true twins of a dragon and a phoenix?

Gu Jinyu and Gu Yan grew up together. Lord Gu tried numerous methods to make the two siblings close, but they just never got along.

Actually, not just with Gu Jinyu, others also had difficulty interacting with Gu Yan. This child was full of thorns, hurting whoever came close.

Lord Gu had never seen such an obedient son before. He had lost all his temper, and that little girl had also quieted down a lot.

If she continued to be this way, she didn’t seem to be that annoying.

“No, not this one. It’s so ugly.” Gu Yan pointed to a rooftop made by Gu Jiao.

“But I don’t think it’s ugly.” Gu Jiao said.

It was the last step now. The doghouse would be complete once the rooftop was installed.

Gu Yan looked towards the sky: “I don’t care! I don’t want it!”

“Fine.” Gu Jiao disassembled the rooftop she painstakingly built and started making a new one.

The siblings were quite strange. That little girl was usually quick-tempered. Apart from Xiao Liulang, he had never seen her so patient with anyone else.

Gu Yan’s petty tactics couldn’t deceive Lord Gu.

He didn’t want the doghouse finished because then Gu Jiao would have no reason to stick around.

Dragon-phoenix twins are always special. Doing the same thing but watching them just seemed much more interesting than other children.

Maybe acknowledging her wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

But if they did acknowledge her, Jin Yu might be a little aggrieved.

Lord Gu was afraid that Gu Yan would bully Gu Jinyu even more.

If it was another son, Lord Gu could strictly stop him, but Gu Yan was born with an ailment, so whoever displeased him could easily face his death!

Lord Gu had a headache.

“Lord Gu.” Huang Zhong arrived.

“What are you here for?” Lord Gu moved a bit to the side, so the people in the courtyard did not see him in order not to disturb the children’s play.

Huang Zhong solemnly said: “I heard that the young miss is here. I came to protect you, so that young miss doesn’t beat you up again!”

Lord Gu gave him a cold glare: “Are you suggesting I couldn’t win against her? I was just letting her have her way!”

“Oh.” Huang Zhong responded in disbelief.

Coming up with an idea, Lord Gu asked: “Do you have a silver needle?”

“Yes!” Huang Zhong took out a case of hidden weapons from his pocket, “What do you need a silver needle for, my lord?”

Lord Gu said: “I need to draw a drop of her blood.”

Huang Zhong asked: “What do you need the young miss’s blood for? Don’t you believe that she is your biological child?”

Lord Gu responded irately: “Is it me who doesn’t believe now? It’s her who doesn’t believe!”

Huang Zhong remembered Lord Gu’s “I am your father”, and twitched the corner of his mouth: “That might be due to your way of expressing it…”

Lord Gu grumbled: “Whatever it is, she doesn’t believe it, so I’ll provide evidence to make her believe!”

Huang Zhong then asked: “Then why don’t you just tell the young miss directly?”

Lord Gu gave him a glance: “You think if I ask her, she’ll give it to me?”

Huang Zhong: “Uh… no. But isn’t it a bit too much for you to prick the young lady with a needle?”

“Why don’t you do it?” Lord Gu coldly looked at Huang Zhong.

“Yo-you… You prick her.” Huang Zhong broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not.

Lord Gu really took the silver needle and went over.

Everyone in the courtyard who saw him got up to pay their respects, including the second master and the old doctor seated in the courtyard drinking tea.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to carry on with their business and not to make any noise.

He walked up to the two siblings.

The light overhead dimmed, and the two looked up at him. Both ignored him and continued to work on the doghouse.

Lord Gu, being ignored: “…”

Nevermind, he was there to draw blood. If they ignore him, it would make it easier for him to ambush.

He stood still, waiting for the right opportunity.

After a while, both siblings looked up with an annoyed faces.

Lord Gu smiled: “Is there a part you don’t know how to do? Let me help you!”

Gu Yan said with a look of disgust: “You’re blocking the light.”

Lord Gu’s face turned black. He silently moved behind the two.

Soon he discovered this position was much better.

Just a prick anywhere, a single needle would do.

Lord Gu sneakily looked for the right moment to strike.

Gu Jiao was diligently nailing the rooftop. Suddenly she felt two undeniably scrutinizing gazes on her. She grimaced and turned her head, making eye contact with Lord Gu’s gaze that he hadn’t had time to withdraw.

Lord Gu was about to strike with the needle, but didn’t anticipate Gu Jiao’s sharp senses. She nearly caught him in the act!

He quickly hid his needle-wielding hand behind his back!

Gu Jiao glanced at his retracted sleazy hand, then back at her own shoulder. His guilty look… was very unsightly!

“Don’t get in our way!” Gu Yan sensed Gu Jiao’s discomfort with Lord Gu’s presence and started shooing him away.

Lord Gu was so frustrated that he wanted to throw himself downwards!

Didn’t they recognize him as their father anymore? If these weren’t his own children, he would have beaten them already!

Lord Gu didn’t give up so easily. If he couldn’t do it openly, he’d try to do it secretly.

He coughed lightly: “You’ve all had a hard journey. Regarding my son’s illness, I have many questions. Gu Jiao seems to be tired, why don’t you rest in your room first, Hu and Doctor Li, please follow me to the study.”

Hu, Doctor Li, and Lord Gu went to his study, while Gu Yan and Gu Jiao returned to their room with the little puppy.

Gu Yan couldn’t possibly be with Gu Jiao all the time. Taking advantage of the moment he went to the bathroom, Lord Gu also excused himself from the study to use the bathroom.

He secretly added some calming medicine to the tea and found a maid to deliver it to Gu Jiao.

Once she falls asleep, drawing her blood would be as easy as turning over her hand.

Despite his clever plan, Gu Jiao immediately smelt something fishy.

She stopped the maid: “Who asked you to bring this tea?”

The maid replied: “It was Lord Gu.”

Gu Jiao’s eyes turned cold.

Not able to take advantage with his sleazy hands, he’s now trying to drug her, huh?

He’s old enough to be her father, and yet turns out to be so twisted!

Gu Jiao’s small fists clenched tightly. She went to the window, opened the lattice, and saw Lord Gu lurking below the window.

Gu Jiao’s murderous rage was evident!

Lord Gu felt something was wrong from her menacing vibe. His heart throbbed as he took a step back: “Well, listen, let me explain, actually I…”

“Buddha, Mountain, Shadowless, Kick -”

“Ah -”

Boom!

Thud!

Thud thud thud!

Thud.

Thump!

Rumble.

…

“I can’t swim -“
