Chapter 122, guns

"Have a meal with me outside. Of course, if you don't have time, I'll have a meal with my friends." Gu Ruochu was still pressed against him. She could feel his tight abdominal muscles and felt warm as she leaned on his taut body.

"With Rong Xiao?"

Huo Nanchen was almost certain.

"Yes."

Huo Nanchen did not say another down. He put her down and unlocked the car. "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Gu Ruochu didn't have the appetite for some food. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the same local restaurant we went to last time. It was quite delicious. Oh right, I just texted Rong Xiao."

"You even have to call him for dinner? The two of you are so close."

Gu Ruochu glanced at him and replied honestly, "I didn't ask him to come for dinner. I just want to give him something."

Huo Nanchen half-heartedly agreed and they made their way to the restaurant.

Once the two of them reached the dining room, Rong Xiao sauntered over.

"Master Qi, the things you wanted have arrived."

He threw a few pieces of cloth onto the table. Rong Xiao casually sat on his seat and rested. His pair of charming eyes glanced at her. "You have to be careful with these things."

Huo Nanchen looked at the items on the table coldly. He immediately recognized the contents inside the pieces of cloth and raised his eyebrows.

"I know what I'm doing." A trace of excitement appeared on Gu Ruochu's face.

She took the artifacts on the table carefully. Although it had been a while since she had used it, once the gun was in her hand, she was ready to fire.

Rong Xiao looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.

He had stolen it from his family's house. They had done this many times when they were young. From Huo Nanchen's point of view, his smile had a hint of indulgence.

"Change to another restaurant." Huo Nanchen's sinister voice suddenly rang in her ears. Gu Ruochu was still immersed in the excitement of getting her hands on the gun. She wanted to roll her eyes at him when she heard his sarcastic words.

He was being ridiculous!

Huo Nanchen saw that she was glaring at him and slowly tugged at his tie. "I don't like the atmosphere here. There are too many people."

This was a common problem of the noble Young Master, he had many eccentricities!

Gu Ruochu did not have the time to bother with him. She clutched the gun tightly like a treasure.

"All right, you guys have your meal. I have to go back first, in case my father suspects me." Rong Xiao stood up and smiled at Gu Ruochu. "Call me if there's anything, I'll be there."

"All right."

A smile appeared on Gu Ruochu's face, but Huo Nanchen's eyes darkened even more. His tone was not pleasant. "Why are you still standing here if you're not leaving?"

Had he now turned into her great uncle?

Gu Ruochu rolled her eyes at him. The two of them had dinner in the restaurant next door. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Gu Ruochu felt a little happy when she thought about how Zhou Yunxi and her daughter might still be standing outside at this late hour.

As soon as she got into the car, Gu Ruochu could not wait to take out her gun.

It was a pretty good gun, although its performance was slightly worse than the guns she had used in the past.

"Is this thing worth holding it like a treasure?" Huo Nanchen scoffed. He snatched the gun from Gu Ruochu's hand and threw it onto the backseat.

"Huo Nanchen, have I offended you?" Gu Ruochu was instantly enraged. Was he sick? It was fine if he didn't want to help her, but he was now throwing away her newly acquired possession.

"Why are you so angry over a stupid thing?" Huo Nanchen grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace, almost knocking her into his chest. "I have something even more powerful here."

As he spoke, he took out a pistol from the glove compartment and placed it in Gu Ruochu's hand.
