In her mind, Chubby Chiu suddenly cried out in alarm.

Gu Zhiqi’s hand clutching her phone tightened, almost suspecting the stocks she bought had just plummeted, causing Chubby Chiu such agitation.

But thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

Gu Zhiqi: “Miss me?”

“No, 007 contacted me,” Chubby Chiu’s tone was somewhat excited.

“What?

Is he your long-lost son?

You seem so thrilled,” Gu Zhiqi drawled, exiting the stock trading app.

“No, he’s my sugar daddy!” Chubby Chiu said with glee to Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi “…”

“Sugar daddy Sugar daddy,” Chubby Chiu continued gleefully.

Gu Zhiqi: ?

“He invited me to officially join the network and even gave me a share—guess how much?

Slurp~” Chubby Chiu was so excited that she started to salivate.

Gu Zhiqi: ?

“14%!” After Chubby Chiu said that, she waited for Gu Zhiqi’s reaction.

Gu Zhiqi: !

“Hehe, lots of little Money Money~” Chubby Chiu was so happy she spun around.

Gu Zhiqi spoke faintly, “Finder’s keepers.”

Chubby Chiu: ?!

“Nah, come on, Zhizhi~”

“Either split it with me or finder’s keepers, your choice.” Gu Zhiqi’s tone was leisurely.

Chubby Chiu: *whimper~*

What’s it like to have a master who likes to compete for money?

The experience is like wanting to cry, wanting to run away from home, but not daring to do so.

“Finder’s keepers,” Chubby Chiu said with a cry to Gu Zhiqi, tearfully agreeing to the terms.

Gu Zhiqi nodded with satisfaction, “Good kid.”

Chubby Chiu “…” cried (#ﾟДﾟ)

The next day, Gu Mengyang and Gu Zhiqi returned to Haicheng.

By ten o’clock in the morning, the two arrived at the Gu Family home.

This time, Gu Zhiqi met Mother Gu, Yu Shuling.

A woman in her forties, well-maintained, she appeared to be only in her late twenties.

Anyone unaware would surely mistake her for an older sister in the Gu Family.

As soon as Gu Zhiqi and Gu Mengyang entered the house, Yu Shuling’s gaze fell onto Gu Zhiqi with a somewhat chilly demeanor, but her look carried a hint of inquiry.

Seeing them staring at each other blankly, Gu Mengyang cleared his throat, “Mom, Qiqi has come back.”

Hearing Gu Mengyang’s words, Yu Shuling’s expression shifted slightly, but her gaze never moved from Gu Zhiqi, “Back…

has she really come back?”

Her voice trembled slightly.

“Really, she’s back,” Gu Mengyang said and glanced at Gu Zhiqi, “Qiqi, this is our mom, call her Mom.”

Gu Zhiqi remained silent, not calling her ‘Mom’ as Gu Mengyang suggested.

To her, the word ‘Mom’ was foreign.

Having lived for nearly a thousand years, she’d never called anyone ‘Mom’, so it felt somewhat awkward to start now.

Seeing the alienation and detachment in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes, Yu Shuling’s eyes reddened instantly.

Even though the young girl’s gaze was too strange and distant, she knew that she had returned.

Her Qiqi had come back.

Yu Shuling walked unsteadily towards Gu Zhiqi, her eyes moist, “Qiqi?

Is it really you?”

Yu Shuling’s behavior was somewhat strange, quite different from the original host’s memories, and although Gu Zhiqi could guess the reason, she was still unsure how to react.

In her heart, she had a significant doubt.

Could it be possible that she had occupied the original host’s body before, and the Gu Zhiqi from these past two years was the real original host?

With that thought, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes slightly lowered.

The chill and indifference in her gaze grew deeper.

While Gu Zhiqi was lost in thought, suddenly a hand rested on her shoulder.

Then, she was pulled into an embrace.

It was warm.

As warm as the embraces of her master and senior brothers.

Gu Zhiqi’s eyelashes trembled softly as the discomfort of physical contact with another person dissipated substantially.

Her gaze remained lowered, wordless.
