Old Li sat in the car, anxious and restless.
Why hasn't Madam returned yet? The young master's temper has always been quite bad—could something have happened? Old Li prepared to report to Butler Chen again, but a scene caught his eye from afar, startling him so much that his phone nearly slipped from his hand.
What did he see!
The usually arrogant young master was actually standing obediently by Madam's side, and he seemed to be saying something.
Putting aside his shock, he hurriedly got out of the car to open the doors for his two masters.
In the stretched Lincoln, the two of them remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly turned quiet.
Gu Danyu's eyes flickered slightly as she took out a tube of ointment from the car's first aid kit and handed it to the person beside her.
"What for!" Lu Jun's eyes widened as he took it with disgust.
As she gently scraped the wound on his face, Gu Danyu's lips curved into a smile, "If our young master's face is marred, he won't look good."
The cool touch of her fingertips swept over him, causing Lu Jun's ears to redden, and he snorted coldly, "Fussy."
Then, the young man turned his head to look out the window, clutching the ointment tightly in his hand, and stared fixedly outside as if he had seen something rare.
Only he understood the turmoil in his heart at this moment.
His parents had died just after his birth, and his grandfather had always been strict. This was his first time experiencing such care, and a subtle warmth flowed through his heart.
Suddenly, there was another weight on his head; the slight touch of emotion in Lu Jun's heart quickly faded, and he glared fiercely at the woman beside him.
Ignoring the young man's dissatisfaction, Gu Danyu narrowed her eyes and started to mess with his short, fuzzy hair.
Up front, Old Li stole a glance in the rearview mirror and saw the "harmonious" interaction between the two, unable to stop smiling.
It seems that the young master really likes Madam.
If Lu Jun knew what he was thinking, he would surely shout, "Bullshit."
This woman just wanted to ruffle his hair!
Lu Jun's eyes were already sore from glaring, but she showed no sign of stopping, so he could only sulkily look away.
Hmph, when big brother comes back, I will definitely tell him this woman's true nature.
After a while, Gu Danyu retracted her "claw," her expression becoming serious, "You shouldn't have used violence today."
Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, then roared, "I don't need you to tell me what to do!"
Gu Danyu's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "There are many ways to deal with bad people, and it's not necessary to resort to violence."
After a pause, she added another sentence, "It would be one thing if you used violence, but doing it in full view of everyone has now given them something to hold against you."
Lu Jun dug at his ear.
He had thought she was going to regret it and say some nonsense about respecting elders and honoring the virtuous, but she actually…
So, she meant it was fine as long as it wasn't done in front of an audience?
Regardless, realizing that he had misunderstood made Lu Jun feel somewhat uneasy.
Just as he was frowning deeply and was about to apologize, a Husky suddenly rushed to the middle of the road and blocked their way.
Old Li braked in a hurry, narrowly avoiding a disaster. He looked back apologetically at the two masters, then honked the horn a few times.
However, that Husky just sat there steadily, refusing to budge.
[Host, hurry up and greet me, your majesty!] A familiar childish voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Danyu's eyes—this voice was… Dumpling, the system AI that had accompanied her through nearly a hundred different worlds.
Where are you?
[Oh, I'm right in front of you. We've only been separated for a few days, and you can't even recognize your dear Dumpling. You're so fickle.]
Accustomed to the system's dramatics, Gu Danyu stared at the Husky in front of her for a few seconds, then opened the car door...
