Although she didn't know much about jade, she could tell that the jade hairpin was quite valuable.
Seeing Qiu Yan watching intently, Gu Qian inside the room frowned.
Could she really be going to accept this broken jade hairpin?
Thinking back carefully, it seems he never gave Qiu Yan any jewelry.
Suddenly, Gu Qian felt a sense of crisis.
Gu Xiaoran scratched her head and frowned as she asked, "Father, is that man trying to steal Mother from me?"
Hearing the affectionate address from Gu Xiaoran, Gu Qian felt a little more at ease.
He replied seriously, "Mother belongs to Father; he can't take her away."
Gu Xiaoran grinned and smiled sweetly, shaking her head at Gu Qian, "No, Mom is Xiaoran's."
Gu Qian corrected: "It belongs to Xiao Ran, and it also belongs to Daddy."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Xiaoran out of the room.
In the next room, the Ling brothers quietly observed the scene at the courtyard gate, inevitably receiving a cold glare from Gu Qian.
At the courtyard gate, Du Changjun saw Qiu Yan accept the jade hairpin and smiled slightly.
He always said that Qiu Yan has a good eye for talent.
However, before he could be too happy, he saw Qiu Yan hand the jade hairpin to Gu Qian, who had rushed over and was reeking of jealousy, and said leisurely:
"Take it and pawn it!"
These words made Gu Qian retract his inner unease.
He took the jade hairpin. "It should be worth two hundred taels."
"You...you all..." Du Changjun's joy turned to anger as she snatched the jade hairpin back from Gu Qian's hand. "This is too much!"
It turns out he had misunderstood.
Gu Xiaoran, with her short legs, slowly ran up to Qiu Yan from afar and said in a childish voice, "Xiaoran is hungry."
Upon seeing Gu Xiaoran, Du Changjun felt a sense of unease.
He had seen this child before, but he hadn't paid attention to him.
But now that I think about it carefully, whose son is he?
Thinking this, he looked at Gu Qian.
Immediately, he saw Gu Qian with a smile on his face gently lift Gu Xiaoran high into the air.
Gu Qian: "Xiao Ran, what do you want to eat?"
"Daddy, Xiaoran wants to eat steamed egg custard, meat buns, wontons, meat pies, dumplings... and millet porridge."
Gu Qian chuckled and couldn't help but touch Gu Xiaoran's round little belly.
What a little foodie!
"Father?" He had guessed right. Du Changjun looked at Gu Qian and asked the question that had been bothering him, "You've been married before?"
Gu Qian remained silent, which Du Changjun took as tacit agreement. He was about to ask further when a loud voice came from behind him.
"You've come again." The speaker was Qiu Dayu.
He stretched and walked out of the house, then looked at the sky and said, "Since we're going to work, let's go together."
Du Changjun gave Qiu Dayu a cold glance and said, "I'm not going."
He turned to Qiu Yan and kindly reminded her, "Qiu Yan, why are you choosing a perfectly good path instead of becoming someone's concubine? Take my advice, don't be fooled by him, this man is definitely not a good person!"
Qiu Dayu was a little confused; what on earth was Du Changjun doing?
Gu Qian coldly replied, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Qiu Yan's gaze swept over Du Changjun, her eyes sharp as knives, causing Du Changjun to stagger back. "Are you doubting my judgment?"
These words warmed Gu Qian's heart.
Du Changjun: "Not as a concubine? Or is it to be a second wife?"
Gu Qian said in a deep voice, "She's the original wife!"
Du Changjun: "Then why..."
Qiu Dayu had the same question. He had never understood why Gu Qian had a son, but Qiu Yan hadn't been very friendly to him before, so he had never asked.
"Disappear on the spot!" Qiu Yan interrupted Du Changjun.
"I'm leaving now!" Du Changjun was extremely embarrassed and turned to leave, but a childish voice stopped him in his tracks again.
"Mother, what does it mean to be a concubine?"
