"Uncle, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I might like you? That kind of liking between a man and a woman?" Tong Keke suddenly laid it bare, her clear and lucid eyes staring at Gu Qianxi like calm water, carrying an emotion that made Gu Qianxi avoid her gaze.
"Aren't I too old for you? I'm a full seven years older than you, and you've always called me uncle. Our relationship is familial, and it always will be. You're my little niece..."
"I'm not!" Tong Keke responded bluntly, "I have no blood relationship with you."
"But my responsibility to you will never change in this lifetime. I am your guardian!" Gu Qianxi's heart was in turmoil, a mess of tangled emotions. Deep down, he had faintly sensed something, but he had always chosen to ignore it.
Yet today, Tong Keke seemed determined to tear everything open.
He would not allow it. Absolutely not.
Tong Keke looked at his coldly handsome face, his tone as severe as a parent's scolding their child.
