Gu Yao scratched his head, muttering, “Gu Zheng, why are you hiding from me? I think I saw a naked woman just now?”

Naked?

Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple moved.

Qiao Xi was stunned, suddenly realizing that the woman Gu Yao was talking about was her.

She looked down at her bathing suit and shouted in a hoarse voice, “You call this naked?”

Gu Zheng: “…”

He helped Qiao Xi put on a towel again and after confirming that her body was not exposed, he opened the door with relief and grabbed Gu Yao’s collar.

Gu Yao was still confused when he felt something gripping his neck. He was so scared that he panicked.

“Brother, Brother, what are you doing? I just saw Qiao Xi wearing a towel.”

He only saw a towel. It was alright.

Actually, Gu Yao had wanted to come to Longwan Residential to swim a long time ago, but Gu Zheng did not let him. He finally had a chance this time.

“Qiao Xi, do you want to swim?”

Gu Zheng looked at him coldly.

Gu Yao said, “Let’s swim together. We’ll compete, and the loser can promise the other party something.”

Qiao Xi was instantly interested when she heard about the competition. She pulled Gu Yao along and was about to leave.

Seeing that the towel on her body was about to fall, Gu Zheng hurriedly pulled her back, then looked at the other person. “Gu Yao, when is your birthday?”

Gu Yao was stunned, then smiled. “April 1st. You don’t even remember it? It’s April Fool’s Day! It’s still too early for my birthday, but you can prepare a gift for me in advance! I won’t ask for much, just buy me the latest sports car.”

Gu Zheng said, “I know it’s April 1st, I just wanted to remind you.”

Gu Yao looked at him in disdain. “Are you crazy? How could I forget my own birthday?”

With Qiao Xi’s understanding of Gu Zheng, this bastard was absolutely not good at holding back his anger.

Gu Zheng sneered. “Looks like you forgot that I gave you a beating on your birthday last time.”

“Oh, it’s this. What’s the matter…”

Gu Yao was suddenly shocked. “It’s fine if you don’t agree to let me swim in your house, but why do you have to hit me? I’m your younger brother. You’re too heartless!”

Gu Yao then ran to the backyard and jumped into the pool with a splash. He smiled very annoyingly.

‘I’m not leaving. Hit me if you can!’

Gu Yao swam freely in the water, then waved at Qiao Xi. “Qiao Xi! Come quickly! Let’s compete!”

Qiao Xi was eager to give it a try. Although her swimming skills were not as good as Gu Yao’s, she was still very happy to play in the water.

She turned to look at the man beside her and said in a warning tone, “Gu Zheng, I’m going for a swim!”

Gu Zheng: “…”

If he had known earlier, he would have bought a more conservative bathing suit. Who knew that Gu Yao would come? Wearing such a thin layer of clothes to swim with Gu Yao?

Couldn’t she tell that he was already unhappy?

She did not care about him at all!

Gu Zheng’s heart ached. Seeing Qiao Xi and Gu Yao being so close and talking about everything, he was extremely annoyed and had the urge to hit someone.

The pool was not big. Gu Zheng’s eyes turned cold when he thought about the possibility of the two of them leaning against each other while swimming.

Gu Zheng grabbed Qiao Xi tightly. “No.”

The smile on Qiao Xi’s face vanished abruptly.

Gu Zheng’s expression was serious as he pulled her away.

Seeing that he was so determined, Qiao Xi did not resist. She returned to her room in a huff and abruptly closed the door.

Gu Zheng looked at her angry expression and could not help but smile.

“Butler.”

The butler walked over and waited for instructions.

“After Gu Yao leaves, go clean up the pool.”

The water in the pool that Gu Yao had swum in would definitely be very dirty, so he could not let Mrs. Gu use it after this.

He continued, “Place two foldable beds and umbrellas beside the pool, as well as a few towels.”

Qiao Xi was so afraid of water previously, but her eyes lit up when she heard that she could swim. It was really miraculous.

At this moment, in the bedroom.

Qiao Xi lay on the bed angrily, then picked up her phone and made a call.

“I want to swim! There’s a pool at home but Gu Zheng doesn’t even let me swim! Sister Xue Yi, quickly check if Gu Zheng has gone bankrupt. He doesn’t even let me play in the pool!”

Xue Yi was having afternoon tea and eating a bite of cake. “Little Six, what’s wrong?”
