Chapter 665: Chapter 666 Let go of my daughter!! 3000 words

When Min Xin said this, Zhou Yu remained silent.

His voice rose a bit. "She can hardly protect herself now, and you still expect her to save you?"

Zhou Yu lowered her head and whispered, "I believe in her."

Min Xin stared at her for a moment before retorting, "So you don’t believe me?"

Zhou Yu pursed her lips. "Aren’t you also struggling to fend for yourself?"

Min Xin was taken aback.

Zhou Yu seemed determined. "I’m not leaving. It’s just as unsafe abroad, so I might as well stay in the country."

Min Xin couldn’t convince her, nor could he knock her out and drag her away. He was so irritable that he wanted to smoke, but he managed to refrain.

However, Zhou Yu felt their conversation had more or less concluded. She said softly, "You should go."

Min Xin stared at her. Under the gentle lighting, her face appeared even softer, quite unlike her formerly ice-cold demeanor. He quietly went over, squatted at her feet, and looked up at her.

His posture was quite subservient.

After a while, he reached out and touched her belly. "Is the baby okay?"

He noticed she was still eating very little, apparently with a poor appetite, and it pained him somewhat.

Zhou Yu hadn’t expected him to touch her. She shifted away slightly and said, a little unnaturally, "It’s fine."

"Min Xin, take your hand away... You’re scaring him," Zhou Yu said softly.

Min Xin had always been thick-skinned. Instead of feeling awkward, he moved closer to her. "Your appetite is poor. How’s your sleep at night?"

Zhou Yu lowered her eyes. "It’s fine."

Min Xin hadn’t been close to her for a long time. Now that she seemed less averse to him, he wanted to get even closer. But as he approached, Zhou Yu’s voice trembled, "Don’t come any closer. We’re divorced."

"We’re divorced, so we’re both single now," he said shamelessly, growing even more brazen. But the door was ajar, and hearing the commotion, Mother Zhou crept upstairs. Upon arrival, she saw that shameless man taking liberties with her daughter.

The old lady coughed lightly. "It’s getting late, Min Xin. You should go. Zhou Yu needs to rest."

Min Xin stiffened. He didn’t turn his head immediately but buried his face in the sofa. "Understood."

Given the situation, Mother Zhou didn’t feel it was appropriate to stay, so she went back downstairs.

Min Xin, naturally, couldn’t continue taking liberties with Zhou Yu. He leaned on the sofa’s armrest, his hand clutching the wound on his chest.

Zhou Yu shrank back, looking at him cautiously. "If it hurts, you shouldn’t be doing that."

Min Xin remained leaning over, then chuckled silently. After a long while, he murmured, "Silly girl."

She didn’t understand men at all!

Nevertheless, he didn’t say anything more. He waited until the pain in his chest subsided before standing up and saying hoarsely, "I’m leaving!"

Zhou Yu didn’t respond. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Min Xin couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her forehead again. "Take care of yourself. Don’t go out for a while, okay?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

Min Xin smiled. "Such a good girl."

With that, he walked towards the stairs, exuding a certain air of nonchalant confidence.

Zhou Yu called out to him from behind, "Min Xin."

He turned around in surprise. "What is it, Yuyu?"

Zhou Yu’s voice was very soft. "Thank you for treating me well, but I... I’ve never considered reconciling with you."

Min Xin’s expression turned slightly bitter. "I know." It had been wishful thinking on his part.

Zhou Yu turned her face away slightly. "Nevertheless, thank you."

He gazed at her for a while before chuckling softly, then turned and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were sitting on the sofa. Mother Zhou kept glancing upstairs worriedly. Father Zhou said, "What are you afraid of? She’s pregnant. That Min fellow can’t force her, can he? Besides, with the two of us here, surely he wouldn’t be so shameless."

Min Xin overheard them and, for a moment, did feel somewhat ashamed.

Mother Zhou looked up, saw him, and her mouth fell open. "Min Xin, coming down?"

Min Xin forced a smile. "Yes, we’ve finished talking."

Mother Zhou grinned. "That’s good. I’ll walk you to your car!"

She rose, her tone very gentle. "Your uncle mentioned earlier that you’re not well and asked me to go upstairs and help you down. Look how pale and weak you are. You need to go home and take good care of yourself... If things don’t work out, find a considerate and reliable woman. We consider you a son too, you know. We can’t just watch you stay single!"

Min Xin said lightly, "I have no plans to remarry."

Mother Zhou fell silent for a moment, then said, "We do know a few nice girls. They’re all young, unmarried, haven’t had children, are healthy, pretty, and their overall qualities are no worse than Zhou Yu’s."

Min Xin knew then that these two elders truly disliked him. He had always known it, but he hadn’t expected them to go to such lengths.

So, he adjusted his clothes and smiled. "The girls you’re familiar with, Zhou Yu must know them too. She wouldn’t mind?"

He added, "She’s truly magnanimous."

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou exchanged a look, finding him quite troublesome. This guy isn’t going to keep pestering Zhou Yu in the future, is he? He doesn’t want to get married, but Zhou Yu is still young and beautiful. She can’t stay single forever, can she?

Min Xin also understood their thoughts and smiled. "I won’t pressure her."

Father Zhou was the first to speak. "Min Xin, we aren’t unreasonable parents. However, you and Zhou Yu did have a very unpleasant past. Right now, she’s not in that frame of mind. But given your status and position, we can’t really oppose you. I just want to tell you that some things can’t be forced."

These words were actually quite polite, considering what Min Xin had done to Zhou Yu before. "Unpleasant" hardly began to describe it.

Min Xin replied very respectfully, "I understand, of course."

Father Zhou sighed and said no more, just letting Min Xin worry on his own.

Even if they were just polite words, they still made Min Xin feel a bit wistful. He had no family left, unlike King Jingyao, whose parents were both still alive. King Jingyao, despite being an older man himself, could still act endearing and submissive before his parents from time to time. But Min Xin? He had grown accustomed to his lofty position and had always been distant from Zhou Yu’s parents due to the various issues in his marriage. It had been a long time since anyone had shown him such concern, apart from Wang Yuan.

Min Xin’s voice was a bit hoarse. "I understand, Dad."

Father Zhou wanted to correct him again but ultimately said nothing. The two elders watched from the doorway as he got into his car and slowly drove away. Once the car had left the courtyard, Father Zhou turned to his wife. "Min Xin has always had feelings for Zhou Yu. It’s just that he was too focused on power and status in those earlier years. It’s a pity; they were such a good couple."

Mother Zhou’s eyes also quietly welled up. "Yes, they were so good together when they first got married. Everyone said Yuyu had found a husband who cherished her."

"It’s just that we were blind. Min Xin had so many women around him, and Father Zhou had stepped back, allowing Zhou Yu to suffer for so long... Just thinking about it, Mother Zhou couldn’t easily forgive Min Xin."

Father Zhou, however, was more philosophical. "Things are pretty good now. Zhou Yu knows her own mind. As for the future, let’s see what the young ones themselves want!"

Upstairs, Zhou Yu called Gu Anxi. She was still worried.

Min Xin’s words had given her an extreme sense of insecurity. Moreover, she had a gut feeling that all of this was related to Gu Anxi. Could Gu Anxi be in danger?

Gu Anxi had just returned to Si Garden. She parked the car and answered Zhou Yu’s call. "Everyone faces danger every day... Min Xin told you not to go out, so you should just stay home obediently."

Zhou Yu hummed in acknowledgment but still felt uneasy. "Gu Anxi, you be careful too."

Gu Anxi smiled. "I will."

She hung up, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car, immediately seeing several servants.

When the servants saw her, they immediately stood ramrod straight. "Good day, Young Mistress."

Gu Anxi looked at them, amused. "In the future, just call me Miss Gu!"

The servants didn’t dare to utter a word; it seemed they were quite afraid of her. Gu Anxi didn’t try to change their minds. During such extraordinary times, a little fear might be a good thing. She went straight to Bo Nianyao’s study, where only Bo Nianyao and Lin Yuan were present.

Upon seeing Gu Anxi, Lin Yuan was very respectful.

Gu Anxi smiled. "Uncle Lin, you don’t have to be so formal."

Only then did Lin Yuan relax a bit. Bo Nianyao put down his pen. "What did Min Xin have to say?"

Gu Anxi let out a long sigh and sat down to the side. "There’s good news and bad news."

"Out with it," Bo Nianyao said briskly, sitting down beside her.

Gu Anxi spoke softly, "The good news is that the Old Master is eating well and sleeping well there, being treated like an honored guest. The bad news is..."

Bo Nianyao’s fingers tightened. He was an extremely intelligent man and had already guessed part of it. He was furious internally but still needed Gu Anxi to confirm it.

Under his gaze, Gu Anxi spoke softly, "The bad news is that the Old Master might want Bo Qing to replace you."

The words had barely left her lips when Bo Nianyao slammed his hand on the mahogany armrest of the sofa. "This is utterly muddle-headed!"

Gu Anxi sighed. "It must be Bo Qing’s sweet talk, all sorts of fine promises that made the Old Master think the Bo Family could conquer the world!"

Lin Yuan, standing to the side, was utterly speechless. "Even if that’s the case, what good would it do the Bo Family? The one who benefits wouldn’t be his own son, but a scheming brother of his."

Gu Anxi clapped her hands. "Exactly, that’s the crux of it. Bo Qing somehow managed to talk him around, making him believe that Bo Qing is the Bo Family’s savior, and that the Bo Family has been sacrificing all these years without getting the recognition it deserves."

She sneered. "Father Bo, they truly are brothers from the same womb; their way of thinking is exactly the same. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree!"

Lin Yuan coughed lightly.

Bo Nianyao also looked at her reproachfully.

The little sweetie immediately understood she had misspoken and had even implicated Bo Nianyao. She hastily explained, "I didn’t mean you too, Father Bo. I meant... they are more alike."

Bo Nianyao still looked at her reproachfully.

The little sweetie flared up. "If you ask me, the Old Master himself is no good! If he were any good, would he have come up with such a plan? He wasn’t capable himself, so he had you take over the Bo Family early on. Now he’s still not satisfied and wants Bo Qing to conquer the world for him. What a fine calculation! He’s planning to be a retired emperor pulling all the strings!"
