The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: 280 Dominance (Two Tael More)_4

Gu Chengfeng looked at her expression and found her genuinely baffled. He wondered if someone had knocked her unconscious and dumped her here.

Gu Chengfeng was at a loss for words.

He saw Gu Jiao lying on the grass, staring at the stars without blinking. He couldn’t help but mutter, "Is it that interesting to look at?"

"What about you?" Gu Jiao asked, still looking at the starry sky.

Gu Chengfeng was taken aback, "What about me?"

Gu Jiao took a slow breath, "Why do you choose to be a petty thief?"

"Not a petty thief, but a master thief! The number one thief in the Capital City!" Gu Chengfeng was instantly on the defensive.

Gu Jiao pouted, "But... isn’t it about stealing things?"

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Gu Chengfeng gave a bitter smile. In fact, what could be bad about it? Isn’t being a carefree dandy in the Capital City who has no responsibilities or duties something that many people could only dream about?

But he just couldn’t accept it.

He also wanted his grandfather to treat him strictly just once!

Whenever he and his brother made a mistake, their grandfather would always only punish his brother, as if it didn’t matter what he did wrong.

He had tried getting up early with his brother to practice their skills. But whenever he was even a bit late, their grandfather would never get angry. On rainy days, their grandma wouldn’t even let him go, saying, ’Why should my precious grandchild suffer unnecessarily?’

"Can you understand the feeling of being someone who’ll never have any expectations placed on them? I’m living like a wastrel..."
