Ji Niandong turned her head to look at him, seeing his usual expression and a glimmer of unusual light in his dark ink-like eyes. Then he chuckled softly, reached out and tapped her head, "What nonsense are you imagining?! Although Xiyao and I have no blood relation, my mother's last name is Gu as well. Our ancestors were familiar with each other, and she is my little niece. What's wrong with her calling me Little Uncle? You don't actually believe the rumors outside, thinking we have an improper relationship, do you?"
He spoke with some disdain and disgust, "Am I the kind of person who would lay a hand on my little niece?"
He said it with such ease, even more straightforward and simple than clarifying his relationship with An Lin, without any ambiguity!
But the more he did so, the more insecure she felt! So, they really don't have blood ties! Then the rumor about them not being together due to chaos is even more laughable!
