Because of this "high-profile relationship", it also led the couple—Yue Ran and Gu Si—into trouble.

    As a result, Grandpa Gu quickly called Gu Si to ask the young man for an explanation.

    "Did I not tell you to break up with that girl long ago?"

    These were the first words that Grandpa Gu said to Gu Si when he stepped inside the room.

    Although the old man is indeed already very old with a head full of white hair, he is still full of spirit and energy. It was not obvious, looking at his face, that he is already eighty years old; at least, it cannot be seen from his rather youthful skin.

    Hearing this made Gu Si raise his brows, and there was a sense of unruliness in and outside of his words as he said, "That is indeed what you asked me to do, but I have never agreed to it."

    Grandpa Gu was furious when he heard the young man''s answer. He immediately yelled, "You have to agree to it even if you do not want to agree to it! Not to mention that you have already known since you were a child that you had a marriage contract in the first place." His voice grew calmer when he reached this point. "The talent of that girl from the Qi family cannot be missed and will not be lost in vain to ensure the thriving of our Gu family."

    Gu Si let out an elongated "oh" when he heard his grandpa''s words and sneered, "Do you not just want me to marry a person with supernatural ability?" He crossed his arms and continued, "As I have said before, I will not marry anyone but her."

    "You!" Grandpa Gu shouted but quickly stopped as he tried to calm himself down. "Okay, that is fine. Then you do not need to stay in this base anymore." There was a short pause before he continued, "For everything that you have today, which one is not given and provided by the Gu family?"

    Gu Si curled his lip when he heard this.

    It is so ridiculous. Does his grandpa actually think that he will back off just because of this kind of threat? As if!

    "Okay, if that is what you want," Gu Si said.

    After saying so, Gu Si left without looking back, leaving the old man alone and staring at the previous position where the young man had stood before.

    There was no regret or nostalgia in the young man''s expression, movements, or tone.

    He left just like that.

    …

    Yue Ran blinked as she looked at the pile of supplies and zombie spars of myriad colors in front of her at this time. Seeing such a large amount of supplies made the girl not react for a while.

    Was she threatened by the main male protagonist''s grandpa?

    From the looks of it, yes. It is quite interesting.

    However, to be able to take out so many zombie spars… how "kind".

    The zombie spars are the energy stones in a zombie''s head; they are also the zombie''s source of energy and life, which could be absorbed by human beings to gain more power and level up. These were also used as the zombie apocalypse''s new currency.

    "Miss Yue has no supernatural ability, right?" Grandpa Gu asked.

    Yue Ran simply replied, "Yes."

    "These zombie spars can strengthen your mental and physical strength," Grandpa Gu said. "And if you are lucky enough, you may also develop a supernatural ability of your own, which means that you can be self-sufficient without depending on others anymore."

    Yue Ran: You really know how to weave fancy dreams that I do not need.

    Yue Ran looked at the old man in front of her with clear puzzlement in her eyes.

    "Why are you giving me these kinds of things?" Yue Ran asked.

    "All of them are yours, but I only have one request," Grandpa Gu said. "I want you to leave my grandson."

    Yue Ran felt that this was a very novel thing. For a moment, she even felt that she was the poor and pitiful female protagonist that was asked to leave the male protagonist in the modern world where she was thrown with money. It was just that this scenario was played in an apocalyptic world full of humans with supernatural abilities and zombies.

    "I will send someone to escort you to the base in the neighboring city," Grandpa Gu continued. "The founder of the base in the neighboring city is an old friend of mine, and he will take good care of you."

    Ah, what beautiful words!

    Yue Ran sneered in her mind.

    Who does not know that if an ordinary person with no supernatural ability carries a zombie spar, then it is clearly telling others that he or she has a treasure, so whoever is powerful can come to that person and grab it?

    Moreover, it is difficult for an ordinary person to absorb the energy of a zombie spar, let alone be lucky enough to awaken a supernatural ability.

    The most ruthless thing in a zombie apocalypse is a weak and ordinary woman who lives alone and has no supernatural ability, living in a strange base with no means of protection. The luckiest thing for her may be to be eaten passively by others with no means to fight back. After all, there are so many means of torture in an apocalyptic world where human morals have declined to the bottom of the well.

    Really, the old man in front of her is really an old and sly carnivorous fish swimming for a long time in the sea of politics.

    Although Yue Ran thought so, she still stared at the pile of zombie spars for a long time. And finally, she slowly raised the corner of her mouth.

    Since she was already tired of staying in one place for a long time, she might as well go to a different place to experience different things.

    And that was why Grandpa Gu could hear the acceptance from the young woman in front of him.

    "Okay, I promise you," he heard her say.

    The girl has said this sentence very casually, as if she were saying something very usual, just like talking about the weather today.

    Grandpa Gu squinted his eyes, and he suddenly felt very unhappy.

    What had just happened? Why did this young woman accept his condition so quickly? Is his grandson so unimportant in her heart?

    Hmph. The young woman in front of him does not look pleasing the more he stares at her.

    Grandpa Gu: This girl is really not good.

    Yue Ran: What is wrong with my decision? Did you not want me to accept it? And so I did. Why are you so fickle? A person is not allowed to be so greedy as to want the things in their left and right hands unless that person is me.

    Ruan Ruan: The Master''s quick decision must be that the Master has been bored out of her mind by staying in one place for so long.

    His grandson''s eyes are really not good, and his grandson still needed him to come out to test this young woman. It is really not worth it for his grandson to treat this young woman like a treasure.

    "In that case, then it is fine," Grandpa Gu said. "Then tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick up Miss Yue."

    …

    Yue Ran came back to the villa while humming songs along the way. The smile and the joy exuded from her body clearly told everyone who saw her that she was in a good mood.

    Fu Chen, who was following behind Yue Ran, looked at the joyful back of the girl and could not help but raise a smile from the corners of his lips.

    He remembered what Qi Qian had said to him before.

    "Brother Fu Chen, I decided to get officially engaged to Gu Si," Qi Qian said.

    At that time, when he heard those words out of Qi Qian''s mouth, Fu Chen felt very surprised.

    "Why?" he asked.

    "I just think that Gu Si is actually very good," was Qi Qian''s answer.

    Fu Chen''s face showed a frown, but then a very secret joy sprouted out of his heart that could not be ignored.

    If Qi Qian and Gu Si were to get officially engaged, which would lead to a marriage, then Ran Ran would not stay together with Gu Si.

    Then, will he be able to get together with Yue Ran again?

    Look, he, Fu Chen, is really not a good person. He is actually a very selfish man, just hidden behind a gentle mask. And in fact, deep down inside his heart, he still does not want Yue Ran and Gu Si to live happily together.

    "I see," Fu Chen said. "Then that is it, as long as you do not regret your decision."

    Qi Qian smiled and said, "Yes, I will not regret it."

    She will not regret it as long as it can make Yue Ran feel uncomfortable, make Yue Ran feel unpleasant, and make Yue Ran suffer.

    She will never regret it.

    This was what Qi Qian thought silently in her heart.

    Qi Qian: I will never regret it.

    Yue Ran: Heh, then let us wait and see, shall we? S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    …

    "Ah!" Yue Ran exclaimed out loud.

    This sudden scream interrupted Fu Chen''s thoughts.

    It is Ran Ran!

    What happened?

    Fu Chen quickly focused to the scene in front of him.

    Yue Ran had accidentally fallen to the ground!
