Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1111: The Old Man Is Getting On in Years

Just as Huo Sining got off the plane, a dark figure rushed over and grabbed her tightly.

Huo Sining was startled, and before she regained her senses, Gu Xu had already lifted her up, almost spinning her around.

As she was held in Gu Xu’s strong arms, inhaling his unique scent, Huo Sining’s heart was filled with sweetness.

But when she turned her head, she found Han Wen watching them with a look of ambiguity and exploration, occasionally flashing a trace of regret and other emotions, with a complex expression of both smiling and not smiling that made Huo Sining pause, then feel embarrassed, as she gently hit Gu Xu’s shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

Gu Xu certainly noticed Han Wen standing nearby, nodded symbolically, and put down his wife, but didn’t withdraw his hand, preparing to speak when someone nearby tightly grabbed his trouser leg.

”Who are you?!”

A childish voice questioned, full of confusion and anger.

Gu Xu was taken aback, looking down to see a little kid standing by his foot, not much older than his own nephew, but with an angry expression, glaring at him as if someone had snatched away his beloved toy.

Gu Xu was a bit puzzled and instinctively looked at Han Wen: ”Who’s this kid, your son?”

Han Wen burst into laughter, while Huo Sining felt a bit awkward: ”What are you talking about, this is from my family, a kid from my hometown, named Qibao, he’ll be living with me from now on.”

Speaking of this, Huo Sining smiled at Qibao, coaxing, ”Qibao, this is Gu Xu, quickly call him brother.”

Qibao heard he had to call someone brother and immediately was unwilling, turning his head arrogantly: ”No way, Qibao only has one brother, Qibao’s big brother is at Kunlun Mountain and will be back soon!”

Huo Sining was a bit helpless: ”Big brother is big brother, and Gu brother is sister’s boyfriend, so you should also call him brother.”

Upon hearing this, Qibao immediately flared up: ”You’re dating such an ordinary person? You have no taste, this old man is so old that he’ll definitely die before you, what will you do then?”

As soon as Qibao said this, Gu Xu’s expression darkened instantly, feeling deeply hurt. Damn it, although what this brat said was true, why did you have to say it out loud?!

Huo Sining’s expression was also a bit awkward, while Gu Xu and Han Wen might think that Qibao’s words were just the unfiltered outbursts of a cheeky kid, Huo Sining understood the meaning behind Qibao’s words.

In fact, over the past year, she had also come into contact with some information about the Jiaoren, and the more she learned, the more she clearly sensed that humans and Jiaoren were completely different species. Take lifespan, for example, a Jiaoren’s lifespan is many times longer than that of ordinary humans, and even a half-human half-mermaid with impure bloodline has a longer lifespan than humans.

That’s why Qibao reacted so strongly when she found a normal human to be her partner.

The world of children is simple and direct, they say whatever comes to mind, but to the ears of adults, it’s a different matter. Huo Sining worried that Gu Xu might overthink it and hurriedly pulled Qibao, signaling him to stop talking.

Qibao was a bit angry, puffing up his cheeks as he glared at Gu Xu, couldn’t help but mumble softly: ”Hmph, this weakling, when big brother comes back, one Wind Blade will take care of him!”

Huo Sining wanted to scold Qibao a bit, but seeing the little guy holding onto her clothes with such a pitiful look, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter: ”Alright, say a few less words, didn’t sister say that this is her boyfriend? At least give sister some face, okay?”

Hearing Huo Sining’s words, Qibao hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly nodded and softly called towards Gu Xu: ”Brother.”

Gu Xu had witnessed his nephew’s artful stubbornness, so he didn’t take what Qibao said to heart. This kid’s mind was straightforward, he just wanted to get close to his wife, not bothering to fuss over a kid’s words. Seeing the kid finally call him, he smiled broadly, reaching out to hold Qibao in his arms.

”Little guy, who is this big brother you keep mentioning? You say he’s powerful, but I’m not bad either.” Gu Xu couldn’t help but tease Qibao.

In Qibao’s eyes, big brother Yan Feng was the strongest, because the first person he contacted after awakening was Yan Feng, so nobody could compare. Now hearing Gu Xu’s words, Qibao was immediately displeased, glancing at Gu Xu and snorted: ”Big brother is big brother, you’re way off compared to big brother!”

Gu Xu was about to coax more words out of the little guy when a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front, charging towards the gate. Among them were fans holding glow sticks and placards, as well as reporters with cameras on their shoulders, all coming in a large tide, almost bumping into people. If Gu Xu hadn’t reacted quickly, pulling Huo Sining and Han Wen to the side, they might indeed have been pushed to the ground.

A crowd of frenzied fans rushed to the gate and, before even seeing the celebrity they were meant to greet, a succession of screams erupted. Huo Sining had often seen such scenes on TV before her rebirth, but she had never seen such a real fan-chasing scenario before.

As the director of the Spring Festival Gala, Han Wen was accustomed to such situations. With her status now, those celebrities could only reach out to her, never would she chase after stars.

Because she wore sunglasses and a thick down jacket, and with the Spring Festival Gala program group being busy due to the approach of the year’s end, no one expected Han Wen to be at the airport, so when those reporters brushed past Han Wen, none of them recognized who she was.

Huo Sining originally worried that these reporters and fans were coming for Han Wen, but finding that they missed Han Wen, she felt a bit amused.

Seeing Huo Sining’s expression, Han Wen understood what she was thinking and couldn’t help but laugh: ”This time you’re mistaken, although I’m a director, I truly don’t have much celebrity effect. Kids nowadays love beautiful men and women, young idols, people like us don’t have many chasers.”

Not here for Han Wen? Huo Sining was taken aback, turned to look at the crowded mob, and indeed, among the throngs, some students raised placards with red and green letters spelling an English name: Ada.
