Chapter 47: My Home Is Not Somewhere You Can Come Back to As and When You Please, Get Lost

The tall and lean man was wearing a snow-white suit, and he had short, silvery-white hair that was eye-catching.

His features were handsome, but he was unusually pale.

His eyes were long and narrow, and he winked at Ji Younai with his left eye and grinned at her sheepishly with some friendliness.

However, he made Ji Younai's hair stand on ends. 

She stood up and got ready to flee. 

However, she was abruptly blocked again by a tall black figure that appeared like a ghostly shadow.

"I've been looking for you for such a long time. Where are you trying to run to?"

Ji Younai stumbled, lost her balance, and fell to the ground. 

A cold, chilly voice suddenly sounded from above her head, causing her to tear up immediately. She looked up to see two men standing side by side with extremely contrasting styles; one of them was dressed in white while the other was dressed in black, looking down at her from above. 

The one in the white suit did not seem human, but he would still give her a friendly smile with an eerie vibe. 

On the other hand, the one in the black suit, who was talking, looked extremely fierce and intimidating. 

He was also dashing but he made Ji Younai feel like he was rapacious and daunting. 

"Lord Black, don't scare her! She's the person Lord Jiang Wang is looking for!" 

"Do you want to settle it yourself then? Or do you want to continue eating your popcorn?"

The man in the black suit questioned coldly with raised brows.

Afterward, to Ji Younai's horror, a bucket of popcorn bizarrely and suddenly appeared in the hands of the man in the black suit. It was just like magic. 

As soon as the pretty man in the white suit saw the popcorn, he happily jumped three feet high, ran to the side, and began eating it. He started rattling, "Old Black, you're so nice. We've come to the mortal world to look for someone, and yet, you still thought of buying me popcorn. Love you, here's a heart for you!"

Ji Younai looked in shock as the pretty man ate the popcorn, before tearfully glancing at the man in the black suit who was squatting down in front of her.

'Did I hear him incorrectly?'

'Come to the mortal world...'

She understood what that meant. 

She also knew that there was an antonym for the mortal world, which was called the underworld.

She shivered in fear, but she soon heard a cold and merciless voice in her ears. 

"Be obedient and leave with me. Obey and we'll ensure your safety!" 

"No, I'm not going!"

Ji Younai struggled and tried to crawl away, only to be picked up and carried like a chicken by the ruthless and unfeeling man in the black suit.

Afterward, with her vision blurred by her tears, she saw the man drawing a reddish-black arc of light with his pale finger. He then touched her forehead with his fingertip. 

Immediately, she felt as if her body and soul had been forcefully separated from each other while she was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. 

Her screams echoed through the sycamore forest and towards the sky.

Soon, she lost consciousness. 

She closed her eyes and fell into endless darkness. 

"Little White, we don't have much time. Let's hurry up and make a quick trip. Her soul can't leave her body for more than a day. We have to send her back before evening tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruthless man in a black suit smashed a red bead that had red patterns on it, onto the ground.

The red bead shattered, and a black hole appeared out of thin air.

With the air currents, the vortex swirled and expanded dramatically.

The two figures, one in black and one in white, looked at the unconscious Ji Younai who was lying on the ground, before disappearing into the black hole while holding her soul.

Gong Siyu rushed home after dinner at the Gong Family's residence.

The members of the An Family were present at the dinner, except for the main character, An Lan.

The An Family explained that An Lan had gone on a trip to Mount Changbai's Tianchi Lake with her classmates from Harvard University who had come to China. Therefore, she was unable to make it back, but they were very pleased with Gong Siyu's presence.

However, Gong Siyu kept a straight face and remained silent throughout the dinner. After eating quickly, he left immediately. 

He was filled with frustration and gloominess. 

He eagerly wanted to see the person who was the only one who could make him feel a little happy. 

Filled with anticipation, he hurriedly stepped inside the mansion. 

However, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the house today was strange.

All the servants looked like they were in a joyful mood.

Even Granny Yang, who seldom went into the kitchen herself, was getting busy in the kitchen and had already prepared a huge spread of delicious food.

Bai Feiran followed behind him and also noticed that there was something strange about the atmosphere.

However, he did not see Ji Younai. 

Gong Siyu returned to his master bedroom, only to discover that Ji Younai was not around. 

He searched the entire house, but he did not see anyone. 

With a sullen expression, he made his way up to the corridor on the third floor and looked down at the people who were getting busy downstairs. 

Bai Feiran suddenly said, "Young Master, the door of the closet that you've set up for Ms. Ji is open. Perhaps, she might be there?"

His gloomy eyes lit up a little, and he strode towards the closet. 

The door was really open.

His heart raced, and his face was vibrant, seemingly thinking of giving Ji Younai a surprise. Gong Siyu suddenly opened the door, and his lips curled up into a handsome and enchanting smile. He then called out gently.

"Little one?"

However, the moment he spoke, he saw that the person, who was standing in front of the full-length mirror and trying on some clothes in the closet that she had messed up, was not Ji Younai but Wen Yu. 

Gong Siyu's expression turned extremely cold and gloomy, as if he had been plunged into ice. 

His gloomy eyes were sharp and vicious like poison. 

"Why are you back?"

The door suddenly opened, and Wen Yu received a great shock. 

After taking a closer look, she realized that it was Gong Siyu. She then smiled sweetly, dropped the clothes in her hand, and ran towards him like a butterfly. 

Holding Gong Siyu's arm affectionately, she said, "Brother Siyu, you said that as long as I want to come home, this place will forever be my home." 

Gong Siyu frowned, but he did not answer her. He suddenly pulled his arm out of Wen Yu's hand and stared coldly at the mess that she had made in the closet, which he had prepared for Ji Younai. 

He seemed like he was restraining the anger in his chest.

He took a deep breath and smiled mirthlessly with a cold squint of his narrow eyes. 

He asked in a clipped voice, "Well, then, why are you here?"

Looking at the stern and aloof gaze in Gong Siyu's eyes with her face full of innocence, Wen Yu's heart trembled. She had never seen Gong Siyu behaving in such a manner before. She did not dare to say that she wanted to take ownership of all the clothes in the closet because she knew very well that Gong Siyu did not buy those clothes for her at all. 

"Siyu, what's the matter with you? This is my home, am I... not allowed in this room?"

As she spoke, Wen Yu's tone began to be full of grievances, and she seemed to be particularly upset. She looked like she was on the verge of tears but was holding them back. Be it the gaze in her eyes or the look on her face, she seemed to mean that she was wrong, and she would cry if he continued being harsh to her. 

However, Gong Siyu was indifferent to Wen Yu's pitiful and beautiful face. 

Wen Yu had always been like this since she was a child.

Whenever things did not go her way, she would put on a pitiful expression and make everyone think that she had been wronged, thus urging others to sympathize with her. 

However, at the thought of Ji Younai, Gong Siyu suddenly felt that Wen Yu was extremely pretentious. 

"Wen Yu, go back to wherever you came from. Since the very day that you decided to be with Gong Siyi, this place was no longer your home. The Gong Family's residence will indeed always be your home, but not this place. This is my home, but it's not a place where you can come and go whenever you want. Get lost."
