Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 170: Does the Uncle Not Want Her Anymore?

Gu Qianxi had been sitting by the bedside, but when he suddenly saw her lift the blanket, her already developed and increasingly alluring petite body made his gaze instantly darken.

The next moment, he averted his eyes, stood up, and said in a restrained tone, "I’ll wait for you outside." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Tong Keke watched her uncle’s stiff back as he walked away, her beautiful big eyes welled with a faint sense of loss.

Her uncle used to never avoid her, but now...

Why must people grow up? If only they didn’t, everything would be so much better. She and her uncle wouldn’t grow increasingly estranged and distant.

Whenever Keke thought about how she might not get to see her uncle for ten days or even half a month, her heart would ache inexplicably.

She really missed the days when she could spend time with her uncle every day.

Now, it was only when she was sick that her uncle would fulfill his role as her guardian and come to care for her for a few moments.

Tong Keke pulled out clothes from the wardrobe and put them on, then packed a small travel bag.

She opened the door; the homeroom teacher and school nurse had already left. Only Gu Qianxi remained, leaning against the wall with one hand in the pocket of his dress pants, his expression deep and inscrutable, lost in thought.

"Uncle, let’s go!" Tong Keke tilted her little face upward, her clear eyes fixed on the mature and handsome contours of the man’s features as she softly spoke.

Gu Qianxi turned to glance at her, his perfectly shaped brows immediately knitting together.

The next instant, he pushed open her dorm room door, took a knitted sweater from her wardrobe, and walked up to her: "You’re sick. Don’t wear so little anymore. Put this sweater on."

The man’s broad palm draped the sweater over her thin and delicate shoulders, and his fingers accidentally brushed against her smooth, tender skin.

Gu Qianxi thought nothing of it; this act of care had seemingly become second nature to him.

But in Tong Keke’s heart, the warmth at his fingertips turned into an electric current that shot through her chest, causing her to tremble instinctively.

"You’re not a child anymore, yet you still don’t know how to take care of yourself. What if one day, your uncle is no longer around..."

Upon hearing those words, Tong Keke’s eyes immediately grew red. She let out a sob, her voice faint like a mosquito’s: "Uncle doesn’t want me anymore?"

The hallway was quiet, yet the girl’s fragile voice still reached Gu Qianxi, making his expression slightly tense.

"I won’t abandon you. I meant, if your uncle gets married someday, he might not have time..."

When Tong Keke heard him mention marriage, tears began rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"I don’t want Uncle to get married..." At that moment, Tong Keke’s anguish overwhelmed her, making her petite body tremble and nearly faint.

Gu Qianxi’s gaze was fully anchored on her, and as he noticed her wavering stance, his instinctive reaction was to reach out and steady her.

His broad palm landed on her slender waist, but Tong Keke twisted her waist as if in protest, forcing her weakened body to run forward.

"Keke... slow down..." Gu Qianxi felt a sharp pang in his chest. This little brat was completely out of control; she wouldn’t even listen to him. He swore he’d catch her and give her a good scolding.

Just as Gu Qianxi hurriedly chased after her, suddenly...

The frail figure running ahead abruptly collapsed to the ground, lying there motionless.

"Keke..." Gu Qianxi felt his breath catch in his chest as he ran over madly, only to see the girl’s pale, unconscious face.
