Chapter 159.5 - Extra (End)
At the moment, even the little girl who had been expressionless all along made an aggrieved expression as if she was complaining to Qing Yun, tears welling up in her eyes.
The netizens who witnessed this scene in the livestream room were stunned.
This was the so-called Great Demon King described by the children?
If Gu Cheng was indeed the Great Demon King, then this bunch of kids would be little demons themselves, right? Otherwise, why would they be so attached to him? If its true what the outside world said about Gu Cheng abusing them, how could the kids be this close to him?
The anchor still refused to give up and tried to interview Qing Yun, yet his mini camera was smacked away by Qing Yun, and he scolded: Scram! Wheres the security? Throw him out.
The final scene of the livestream froze on Qing Yuns long legs and the seven or eight pendants hanging from them, creating an indescribable warm feeling.
How boring, with this kind of live broadcast, how can people dare to say that this orphanage had a dark side?
The news outlets these days really know how to fabricate well. I was an orphan, and to be honest, I wish I could have grown up in such an orphanage.
One female netizen even said, Ah, I thought I would feel disillusioned after watching the live broadcast, but now I realize that Im done for. Gu Cheng is so versatile, he can handle both the boardroom and the kitchen, and he knows how to make money and raise children. Whether wearing an apron or a suit, he looks handsome as hell. And whats more, hes good to children I want a husband like that in droves. With Gu Chengs engagement now broken off, I think I have a chance!
What chance, who are you kidding? Gu Cheng clearly belongs to me!
After that, there were more jokes made, as many people were relieved after watching the livestream because it showed that the rumours were obviously false. The orphanage was strictly managed, clearly for the sake of the children living inside. In addition, seeing the layout of the orphanage and the clean appearance of the children, the netizens had already understood that it was a very well-run orphanage.
The local welfare agency, and even the public security agency that had repeatedly received police reports, quickly issued statements to clear the name of the Gu familys orphanage. The orphans who grew up with Yan Linhao also spoke out one after another in support of Gu Cheng and the orphanage.
Even those who didnt watch the live broadcast finally realised that the orphanage, which they believed was a place of moral decay, was an incredibly warm place where even the problem children who would have been neglected and abandoned elsewhere could receive the best treatment.
After the anchor was thrown out by the security guards, he had only gone a short distance before being dragged into an alley by two hoodlums.
Speak! Who told you to come to the orphanage? One of the hoodlums asked, holding a knife to the anchors neck.
No oneI-I just did this out of justice The anchor lied while trying to think of a way to call for help.
Dont bullshit. Out of justice? I bet its for the money, huh? The other hoodlum slapped his head. Dont look down on us. Let me tell you, we are hoodlums. As long as were in this city, we can find you anytime and anywhere and cause trouble for you. Dont believe it? Try us.
The two hoodlums rained blows on the anchor. They both knew what kind of children were in the orphanage, even though the anchor learned of it, he still continued to provoke the children. This made the two of them very disgusted with him.
Very soon, the anchor couldnt endure it any longer and spit out the truth: Stop hitting me, it was the Yan family The Yan family wanted me to use any kind of method to get dirt on Gu Cheng
Once they got his answer, the two hoodlums shared a glance and left quickly.
Yan Linhao, who had finished his university entrance exams, also came to the orphanage. He lowered his head to look at the message sent to his phone, sneered, and then composed himself as he walked straight into Qing Yuns room.
Inside, Qing Yun, who had just calmed down the children, had returned to the kitchen. He was still wearing the apron and was bent over, taking something out of the oven.
From the oven were still some very exquisite cookies, and Qing Yun picked up one to put in his mouth. Soon, he frowned.
The appearance of the cookies were very nice, and the ingredients and their ratios were all correct, but why cant they just taste right?
Actually, Qing Yun was someone who liked to challenge himself. After failing to make a cake for Yan Linhao last time, he started to become addicted to making desserts, whenever he had the free time, he had to make them.
But it seems like he was born without some kind of skill, because the results were never satisfactory. Otherwise, the cookies wouldnt be nicknamed poison by those children.
Looking at Qing Yuns expression from the door, Yan Linhaos eyes sparkled with amusement. He thought his gege was exceptionally cute.
Ge Yan Linhao wrapped his arms around Qing Yuns body from behind and pulled him into his embrace, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Youre back? Qing Yun glanced at him, but his mind was clearly still on the cookies.
Yan Linhao wasnt satisfied, his hand slipping under the apron from the side: Ge, since youre wearing an apron, lets try it out, okay?
Scram! Qing Yuns palm slapped onto Yan Linhaos head. If he let the kid have his way, how would he be able to wear an apron in the future?
As Yan Linhao cuddled up to him, he was also leading Qing Yun to his bed. Qing Yun found Yan Linhaos impatient behaviour amusing.
After the two of them fell onto the bed, Yan Linhao instead just quietly held Qing Yun in his arms and said: Ge, Im planning to go back to the Yan family for a bit.
Hearing this, Qing Yun couldnt help but give him a look while speechless. When he asked him to go back to the Yan family before, Yan Linhao had such a huge reaction, but now he was willing to obediently go back on his own.
Once he thought about how he had to be separated from Qing Yun for a period of time, Yan Linhao felt upset. But very soon, he recovered and looked at him with bright eyes like that of a little puppy: Ge, Im going to leave in a few days. Can we make up for it right now? So I want to do it in all three locations: the office, balcony, and kitchen!
"
"
You better know your limits!
Ge, you actually hit me. Youre indeed the Great Demon King
The door was closed, and the teasing words became indistinct. Sounds that could make one blush and heart race instead leaked out from the cracks of the door.
The next day, Yan Linhao came out of the room wearing a tank top. He stretched lazily towards the rising sun and sat on the front porch steps, thinking about what he needed to do at the Yan family.
Qing Yun thought this man was naturally drawn to power, so he decided to go back. But he didnt know that no matter how much power one had, it didnt mean anything without something to protect.
However, Yan Linhao had a treasure he wanted to protect.
As Yan Linhao sat there, the children who had woken up early looked at him and quietly came over. Because Yan Linhao didnt like Qing Yuns attention to be on other children, he often took the initiative to accompany these children to play and not let them bother Qing Yun.
As a result, these children were closer to Yan Linhao than to Qing Yun.
The mischievous little boy from yesterday ran to Yan Linhaos side first. He stretched his head out to see the tightly shut door of Qing Yuns room, then waved to the other children behind him and reported: Come quickly, the Great Demon King has been defeated!
These few days, as long as Yan Linhao was around, Qing Yun would get up very late in the morning. These kids had already figured out the rules.
Hao-gege is a warrior! A bunch of rascals looked up at Yan Linhao with admiration, apparently lauding him for defeating the Great Demon King.
The warrior defeated the Great Demon King. Yan Linhao reminiscenced last nights scene and chuckled.
Who would have thought that the little boy would continue to say: In the future I also want to become a warrior and defeat the Great Demon King!
Get lost! Yan Linhaos face immediately turned sour at his words. He grabbed the child by the collar and dropped him off further away.
Thats my own Great Demon King.
Yan Linhao soon left, not even having the chance to claim the office benefits he mentioned to Qing Yun.
When that rascal was around, Qing Yun always found Yan Linhaos clinginess annoying. But now that the dog-skin plaster[enf_note]refers to someone who is very clingy, like a plaster that sticks to skin[/efn_note] by his side was gone, Qing Yun felt a bit uncomfortable. For the next few days, his mood was somewhat irritable, and that was how the still alive and kicking Gu Qing ran into the barrel of his gun.
Originally when it was found that Gu Cheng was the director of the orphanage, Gu Qing had a feeling that something would go wrong. And indeed the orphanage matter was cleared very quickly, and Gu Chengs and the Gu familys reputation was not smeared but they were widely praised.
Instead, Gu Qings action of forwarding that piece of fake news raised peoples suspicions about her. However, the matters of the orphanage ten years ago were also confirmed by others, and no one cursed at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing was still not satisfied with this result. She had already fallen out completely with Gu Cheng. And since Gu Cheng was fine now, she was in deep trouble.
Afraid that Gu Cheng would release the evidence of Yan Yishen and her secret meetups, Gu Qing had no choice but to reveal this secret herself.
Taking advantage of the aftermath of the orphanage incident, she posted a long essay describing her life in the Gu family. She hinted that as an orphan, Father Gu who had adopted her had used it as a lever to get her to repay the family. Father Gu also had been grooming her since young to be Gu Chengs child bride-to-be. This kind of life made Gu Qing both grateful for the Gu familys kindness but yet feel extremely oppressed.
In Gu Qings essay, Yan Yishen was described as a good friend who she could talk about personal matters to, paving the way for Gu Chengs exposure of her and Yan Yishens relationship.
Gu Qing had both domestic and international fans, with international fans taking up more than half her fan base, and all of them felt sorry for her experience.
Furthermore, Gu Qings mention of raising an adoptive daughter as a child bride-to-be in her essay had sparked discussion and even an argument among the people.
Some people said that the Gu family was influential and their business booming, yet they surprisingly employed such an old-fashioned practice, why did they even have a child bride practice?
Some people simply sympathised with Gu Qing and felt sorry for the fact that her life growing up as an orphan was tough.
Meanwhile the girlfriend and wife fans who were attracted to Gu Cheng from the orphanage incident scoffed and responded in kind to Gu Qings fans: Cant you see that my familys Gu Cheng can have any woman he wants? Does he look like someone who cant find a wife and needs to have a child bride raised for him?
No matter what, Gu Qings aim was achieved. She had subtly mentioned the matter of Yan Yishen while describing her relationship with the Gu family in an ambiguous manner.
