Chapter 2368 - 5: I Take Full Responsibility for Qingqing

Eat, drink, play, and enjoy life like the other rich family’s daughters, living the life they should.

"I’m not a parasite; I’m a person with ideas and aspirations. How can I rely on others to support me?"

When Yan Fengchi heard her words, he raised his hand, and suddenly a bowl of tea splashed all over Yan Fengchi’s face. Zun Zun abruptly looked at his father, Gu Shaocheng, who was holding an empty teacup, staring at Yan Fengchi with tea all over his face: "What are you doing?"

Qingqing’s expression was extremely tense, and she suddenly grabbed Zun Zun’s hand: "Anyway, I’m determined to follow Brother Zun to do what I want. No matter how angry or uncomprehending you may be, I will absolutely not follow the life you’ve planned for me step-by-step."

Zun Zun heard this and didn’t know whether to nod or shake his head; in his frustration, he steeled himself: "Uncle, I assure you, I absolutely won’t let Qingqing be hurt."

Yan Fengchi’s face was drenched in tea, and Zun Zun quickly pulled some tissues from the table and handed them over: "Uncle, please don’t be angry. Honestly, I’m just keeping Qingqing by my side, not letting her do anything dangerous. How could I be so reckless to make her do worrying things? I’m merely keeping her close and cheering her up."

Qingqing turned her head to look at Zun Zun, and Zun Zun secretly pinched her palm and continued speaking to Yan Fengchi: "My dad often reminds me to take care of Qingqing, so rest assured. Why force Qingqing to do things she doesn’t like? She couldn’t possibly be happy that way."

"Zun Zun has always been very measured in his actions," Gu Shaocheng spoke up at this moment: "I watched Qingqing grow up, just because she’s your daughter doesn’t mean I don’t care for her. How could you be so stubborn as to want to hit your daughter? You, a high-ranking officer in the military, should calm down and sit down to discuss this calmly."

Yan Fengchi remained angry, wiping the water from his face, staring coldly at Zun Zun: "Assure me? Promise? Can you assure me she’ll never have an accident in her life?"

How could anyone guarantee that? Even Zun Zun couldn’t promise he’d never have an accident.

But...

Looking at his uncle’s eyes, then glancing at the look his father gave him, Zun Zun felt as though he was being cornered, forcing himself to say: "Fine, I, Gu ZhiZun, swear that as long as Qingqing is by my side one day, I guarantee she won’t have a scratch. If she ever gets hurt, Uncle, feel free to question me, I’ll even issue you a military pledge, will that work?"

Yan Fengchi remained silent.

Zun Zun, fearing he wouldn’t believe him, walked around the desk, pulled out a sheet of paper, and wrote a military pledge in bold handwriting, finally marking it with his private seal, then handed the pledge to Yan Fengchi: "Uncle, will this suffice? My dad has always taught me that a man must take responsibility, and a promise is worth a thousand gold. I, Gu ZhiZun, promise to protect Qingqing, watch over her, keep her close, and never let her do anything dangerous. If such a thing ever happens, there’s no need for you to step in; I’ll severely punish myself!"

Yan Fengchi still remained silent.

Is even this not enough? Zun Zun was really out of options. He had made all the promises he could; did he want to hold onto this troublesome kid? How unlucky, indeed Saint Saint and Wubai’s warnings from before had become reality. It was so vexing, all because of Qingqing, that troublesome girl.
