Soon, Gu Chenan drove away from the Gu Family Manor with Hoshino Kannon in the car.
As agreed, Gu Chenan was to accompany Hoshino Kannon on a date.
However, Gu Chenan felt indifferent about it.
They had already slept together, seen and done everything, so whether they went on a date or not didn't really matter.
But Hoshino Kannon was unwilling to let it go. She attached great importance to this date.
Perhaps this was what girls called a sense of ritual.
"Where to? The amusement park? The merry-go-round and Ferris wheel again?"
Inside the car, Gu Chenan asked while turning the steering wheel.
"Emmm, let's go to the amusement park first, then we'll go to the underwater world!" Hoshino Kannon said excitedly.
"Okay." Gu Chenan nodded, stepping on the gas pedal and driving away.
But at that moment, a few young men emerged from the bushes near the Gu Family Manor.
"Finally, they've shown a chink in their armor!"
"Quick, report to our master, this time we must avenge our brother Bufan!"
Their eyes burning with determination, they immediately took out their phones and called Li Rufeng.
"Master, Gu Chenan has left the manor in a car!"
"Yes, you're right. This time he's not with his bodyguards, only a young and beautiful girl."
"Understood!"
After the call, one of the disciples smirked, stuffing his phone back into his pocket and said, "Let's follow Gu Chenan first, the master will be here soon. Get in the car!"
"Yes!"
...
At the amusement park.
Gu Chenan parked the car and consciously bought a huge cotton candy before approaching Hoshino Kannon.
"Here."
"I didn't ask you to buy it."
"Didn't you say that next time we go on a date, you still want to share the same cotton candy with me? You forgot?"
Gu Chenan smiled.
Hoshino Kannon was taken aback, her cheeks flushing red and her eyes narrowing, "I... remember."
"Embarrassed?"
Previously, no matter how outrageous Hoshino Kannon's words were, she would never blush or feel flustered. But ever since last night, she would act like a shy little girl at times.
Especially when her cheeks turned red, the blush spreading across her nose bridge looked particularly beautiful.
It made Gu Chenan want to tease her.
"Of course not." Hoshino Kannon stubbornly and coquettishly tilted her head up like a child.
"Not embarrassed, then why is your face red?"
Hoshino Kannon paused, immediately turning her head away. "It's... not red."
"Let me see!" Gu Chenan narrowed his eyes playfully.
"No!"
"Hahaha!"
Gu Chenan burst into laughter, lowering his voice and teasing, "Who would have thought that one of The Twelve Owls would blush like this."
Hoshino Kannon glared at Gu Chenan. "Didn't you see everything last night?"
"Last night was last night, today is today, it's different. Besides, it was dark last night, I was too busy looking at other places to notice your face."
Bang!
A muffled thud as Hoshino Kannon's fist struck Gu Chenan in the abdomen.
"Ouch, are you trying to kill your husband? Don't you know how precious this area is for us men?"
Hoshino Kannon said helplessly, "I was talking about when you washed your face last night!"
"Oh, oh, my bad." Gu Chenan laughed it off. "Shall we go? What do you want to do today?"
Hoshino Kannon took a bite of the cotton candy, then offered it to Gu Chenan. "Let's do everything!"
[Oh no!]
Gu Chenan's forehead creased with a dark line.
[She's doing this again? Last time on the roller coaster, I almost threw up my gallbladder!]
Hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts, Hoshino Kannon smiled smugly and added, "We're riding the roller coaster three times today!"
[Are you trying to kill me?!]
Gu Chenan's eyes widened in disbelief.
...
Outside the amusement park.
Li Rufeng and his people stared in shock at Gu Chenan on the roller coaster in the distance.
"What the hell is Gu Chenan doing, bringing a girl to ride the roller coaster?"
"That's the third time already, is he trying to reach enlightenment up there?"
"Master, when do we make our move?"
Li Rufeng withdrew his gaze, filled with mixed emotions.
Back in the day, I was quite a talent too, always taking young and beautiful girls out for fun.
But now...
"I envy him!" Li Rufeng murmured inadvertently.
"Mas... Master?"
His disciples blinked in confusion.
Sensing their gazes, Li Rufeng suddenly came to his senses.
"Ahem! This womanizing Gu Chenan has led another innocent girl astray, his immoral behavior is worse than a beast!"
The disciples exchanged glances, feeling awkward. "Master, we were asking when we should make our move..."
"Oh, right..."
Li Rufeng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's wait a bit more. There are too many people around, if we act now, it'll cause a huge uproar in the city."
He added, "We may not act today, we're just here to demand an explanation, understand?!"
"Yes, Master!"
What Li Rufeng had in mind was simple. Today, he brought a group of disciples to demand an explanation from Gu Chenan. Whether Gu Chenan apologized or paid compensation, it would be fine.
As long as he got one of those two things, Li Rufeng's reputation in Suhang would be saved.
The group hid behind the pillars in the parking lot, crouching by the roadside like eager young men, keeping a close eye on Gu Chenan in the amusement park.
Screech!
The roller coaster came to a halt.
Gu Chenan immediately got off and squatted by the roadside, "Urgh... urgh... urgh..."
Hoshino Kannon, her hands clasped behind her back, skipped over to Gu Chenan.
However, with her professional assassin's keen senses, she detected a few gazes watching them.
"Someone's following us." She handed Gu Chenan a tissue.
Gu Chenan wiped his mouth, rinsed it with mineral water, and asked, "How many?"
Hoshino Kannon glanced around. "Eleven."
"Eleven..." Gu Chenan repeated, about to turn and look, but Hoshino Kannon suddenly reached out and turned his face towards her.
"Don't look, they're watching our every move."
Gu Chenan wasn't usually this cautious. Based on his character, he would have boldly walked over and asked them what they wanted.
But as a professional assassin, Hoshino Kannon was the complete opposite.
"What do you want to do?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
Hoshino Kannon pretended to look towards the road, confirming the number again. "Nothing, let's see what they're up to."
Gu Chenan thought for a moment. "Okay, I'll follow your lead."
"Let's ride the merry-go-round." Hoshino Kannon instantly returned to normal, hooking her arm around Gu Chenan's and pointing to the nearby merry-go-round exuding a sweet, girlish aura.
"Uh..."
Gu Chenan's lips twitched. "Can't we do something else?"
"No, you have to go with me." Hoshino Kannon shook Gu Chenan's arm and whined.
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Gu Chenan puffed out his chest, wearing a look of resignation as he walked towards the merry-go-round playing its sweet music.
