Chapter 159: Stepfather Should Be Like the Great Demon King

Gu Xiaonan remained silent, causing Qitian Yu to think that he had been frightened into silence. He reached out to touch his head.

Instinctively, Gu Xiaonan turned his head to avoid it.

Qitian Yu's hand paused and retracted, without a hint of anger on his face. "Xiaonan, rest assured, I will protect you."

Given the choice, Gu Xiaonan would rather believe Yuanxi's words. After all, his mother had given Qitian Yu a good beating, indicating that Qitian Yu must have done something to provoke her. Now, Qitian Yu was pretending to be a good person, but Gu Xiaonan suspected that he had ulterior motives. He couldn't allow himself to be deceived!

Regardless of the other party's intentions, Gu Xiaonan decided to proceed cautiously, taking things step by step. He believed that their true colors would be revealed in due time!
