He pressed his ear against the door and listened for a while, but there was still no sound. He was about to turn the doorknob and go in when the door suddenly opened inward. Due to inertia, his body instinctively lurched forward. Gu Han reacted quickly and caught the boy to prevent him from falling to the ground.

After Nan Yu steadied himself, he met his father's gaze.

"Can we go out?" The young master looked up at Gu Han with a blank expression, blinking his beautiful starry eyes, his tone full of undisguised anticipation.

Nan's father coughed.

Nan Yu ran over to her dad like a little puppy, massaging his shoulders and giggling as she asked, "Dad, is it okay? Is it alright? Dad is the best dad in the world. I swear I won't go to any dangerous places this time, okay, okay?"

She pinched his shoulder, acted coquettishly, and hugged his arm.

She's beautiful, and her sweet talk is much sweeter than before. She can't stop smiling at Nan's father. The more she does this, the more worried he becomes about his son not having bodyguards. His heart, which he had finally managed to persuade Gu Han, is once again in turmoil.

I couldn't help but add a small condition: "Bring two bodyguards, otherwise Dad won't feel at ease."

"No, no, I don't want bodyguards, I just want to get out by myself."

Gu Han could see that Nan's father was about to become anxious again, worried that if Nan Yu continued to talk, not only would the bodyguards have to be reduced to half a day a week.

He walked steadily forward, his respectful demeanor punctuated by his composure. As soon as he spoke, Nan's father was largely convinced of his trust: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master and keep him away from danger. I will also report to you every day."

The lamp wick nodded emphatically and immediately took sides: "I will also obediently listen to the butler."

After a back-and-forth exchange, Nan's father had no choice but to agree, adding as a final instruction: "You are only allowed to play for seven days. You must come home when the time is up."

Nan Yu stood at attention, back straight, her little face beaming with excitement: "Don't worry, Dad!"

Children are harder to manage when they grow up; they're not as easy to fool as they were when they were little.

Nan's father waved them out.

It's impossible for them to just stop following them. There are no bodyguards; they've all been replaced with plainclothes officers who won't get too close. As long as their youngest son doesn't find out, the disguise is perfect.

Stepping out of the study, her mood was off the charts for the first time. She couldn't contain her excitement and grabbed Gu Han's arm, holding his left hand tightly with both of hers. "Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest tonight. We'll leave at six tomorrow morning."

The man's cool, expressionless features revealed no emotion as he nodded faintly.

"Young Master, would you like to go out and buy some clothes, or bring a few with you?"

Nan Yu: "Bring it, buy it too. Oh dear, I need to get ready properly, I need to get up early tomorrow, housekeeper." She then blew Gu Han a kiss.

She's straightforward and doesn't seem to have any other feelings. Deng Xin is still very straightforward, but Gu Han, on the other hand, blew me a kiss, and the image kept haunting my mind until late at night.

At four in the morning, Dengxin got up to wash and get ready.

Last night I asked the maid for a suitcase, two hoodies, a jacket, two pairs of pants, seven pairs of underwear, and threw in some face wash. Done.

It was 4:50 when he finished.

Sitting on the sofa in the room, waiting for the time to pass, I kept checking my watch. One second, two seconds, it was too slow. I couldn't contain my excitement. By five o'clock, I couldn't hold back any longer and pushed my suitcase to find Gu Han.

I was going to knock on the door.

I'm also worried that it will affect his sleep, and he won't be able to play properly during the day.

He left his suitcase by the door and curled up on the sofa to work on his travel plans.

He wanted to go to the amusement park to ride the thrilling rides, but Gu Han wouldn't allow it, so... he just wanted to keep shopping?

The baby is scratching his cheek.

At 5:20, Gu Han came out.

As Nan Yu approached, he woke up from his dozing. He came out and saw that the young master's luggage was left by the door and the young master was gone. He went out along the corridor and saw a small figure curled up on the sofa in the distance.

Turn on the light and call out, "Young Master."

Nan Yu's eyes lit up when she saw that he was awake. She stood up and walked to Gu Han's side, excitedly saying, "Let's go, let's go, Butler Gu, let's go now."

Gu Han: "It's not six o'clock yet, young master, won't you eat first?"

Nan Yu patted her chest and said, "I'll pay for our meal out."

Gu Han nodded, deciding there was no need to call a driver. He took the young master's suitcase and led him to the garage, asking, "Which car would you like to drive, young master?"

The lamp wick pointed to the black Maybach and said, "This one will do."

Gu Han took the keys and put the young master's luggage in the trunk. Nan Yu asked curiously, "Why didn't you bring any clothes? Don't you need to change?"

Gu Han said, "I have a family outside."

Oh right, I forgot about that. Butler Gu was hired.

Gu Han reached for the passenger door, hesitated, but seeing that the young master had already gotten in, he said nothing more. He fastened his seatbelt, stepped on the gas, and the car started. He was in a very good mood.

It felt like a Friday night, like escaping the 'cage' of school, the air itself carrying the scent of freedom, "Whoosh—!"

Gu Han glanced sideways at the young master, a lively and cheerful young man rarely seen at home. After admiring the scenery along the way, Nan Yu tilted her head and asked, "Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Han kept his eyes on the road ahead, driving fast yet steadily, and replied, "No."

Nan Yu: "You must have had quite a few suitors since you were little, right?"

Gu Han: "I don't know."

Nan Yu: "Don't be modest. I think my older brother and sister like you a lot. You must be very likable, but it's a pity you don't smile much."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Gu Han turned his head and asked, "You like people who smile a lot?"

The wick reached for the hidden compartment, but it was empty. As it pushed it back, it replied, "I like what I find pleasing to the eye." Suddenly, it occurred to it, "Where are we going?"

Where do you want to go?

Dengxin stroked his chin and said, "Are there any small towns like that? Places with a strong sense of everyday life, where you can walk along the sycamore-lined avenues in the early morning and feel the dappled sunlight?"

Gu Han thought for a moment and asked, "Would you like to eat steamed buns?"

"Steamed buns for breakfast? Sure."

Gu Han: "Are you going to Anshi? The steamed buns there are delicious."

"Hmm? You're from Anshi?"

Gu Han: "I tried it once when I was on a business trip."

"It's so delicious? I've been craving it ever since I tried it once?"

Gu Han nodded. It wasn't that he was greedy; there were spies everywhere in Haishi, and the young master was sensitive to those who followed him. If they found out, the blame would be pinned on him.

"Then I'll book the tickets."

"I've booked a flight for 7:03. I can board the plane as soon as I arrive."

Dengxin couldn't help but poke the man's thigh and exclaimed, "What if I don't go? Wouldn't the tickets be a waste?"

The soft, white fingertips touched his thigh, and his muscles tensed instantly. Gu Han gripped the steering wheel tightly, his throat bobbing slightly. After a while, he said, "Not going would just be a waste of two tickets. Young Master's needs must come first."

Gu Han was good with words, and Deng Xin felt very pleased with herself.

I parked the car in an airport parking space and took Nanyu to first class.

It was Little Lamp's first time on an airplane, and she didn't know what to do. She waved to Gu Han and called out, "Butler, I want to lie down."

The flight attendant was faster than Gu Han; the service in first class was indeed excellent. After explaining the function of the buttons, she asked him what he wanted for breakfast—Chinese or Western? Deng Xin was still thinking about the steamed buns from Anshi and was about to refuse when Gu Han said:

"Eat up, I'll take you to eat steamed buns again tomorrow."

I was worried he would go hungry.

Dengxin pouted, not wanting to listen to the stinky housekeeper. "No, the flight is only two hours. We'll arrive in Anshi at nine o'clock. Can't we eat by nine-thirty?"

Gu Han shut up.

The flight attendant smiled and said, "Sir, if you don't need breakfast, would you like some warm milk?"

Nan Yu nodded.

After the flight attendant left, Dengxin chatted with Gu Han. Thinking of the box Nan Fei had last night, she asked curiously, "Last night my second sister looked for you. I told her you were in the study with Dad. Did she send you a message?"
