Gu Qian: "Uh... I admit defeat." My junior brother and Ling'er really care about him.
Is this man deliberately trying to gain attention from her younger siblings?
Qiu Yan knew that Gu Qian's real intentions were not what they seemed.
She withdrew her hand and stepped back, first saying to her younger siblings, "Continue!"
Then, she whispered to Gu Qian, "This young lady has limited abilities and cannot teach you."
Qiu Xu nodded, Qiu Ling'er stuck out her tongue, and the two resumed their movements simultaneously.
Gu Qian persisted and stepped forward, saying, "Why can't you teach him? You're so good to your younger siblings, but so stingy with your husband."
Qiu Yan: "Husband?"
"Mmm." Gu Qian smiled, revealing his dimples. "It sounds nice."
Qiu Yan's face flushed. She told her younger siblings to exercise on their own, then walked out of the yard to prepare for her morning run.
"Yan Yan, wait for me." Gu Qian followed and chased after her.
Under the moonlight, a man and a woman walked side by side on Baiyang Back Street.
Gu Qian's gentle face was always beaming with a warm smile.
He took her right hand in his left palm and asked, "Yan Yan, when are we going home?"
Qiu Yan glanced at the two of them with their palms clasped together, feeling the warmth of his palms, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
"We'll pack up and then we can go back."
"Is Uncle not waiting anymore?"
"When Second Uncle returns, he will naturally go back to the village."
As dawn broke, the sun rose in the east.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian had just returned from their morning run when they noticed a person standing in front of the courtyard gate.
Just as the man was about to knock on the door, he saw Qiu Yan return. He stopped what he was doing, bowed slightly to Qiu Yan, and said, "Good morning, Miss Qiu."
Qiu Yan recognized the man at a glance; he was Ren Ai Tang's waiter.
Gu Qian stepped forward and stood in front of Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan asked with a slight smile, "What brings you here so early?"
"It's like this, our Renaitang is short of female doctors, and the owner asked me to inquire whether Miss Qiu would be interested?"
These words were unexpected for Qiu Yan, but they were not entirely unfounded.
This surprised Gu Qian.
Qiu Yan shook her head and refused, "Master Ren, do you know that I am now the manager's wife of Xingyue Tower?"
"Miss Qiu, this is an opportunity you shouldn't miss. Please reconsider?"
"No need to consider it."
"Since Miss Qiu is unwilling, then so be it."
Ren Xiaoer said no more and turned to leave.
In the courtyard, Gu Xiaoran got up early and, before she had even put on her clothes, opened her sleepy eyes and went outside to look for her father.
"Father, Father, where are you? Have you left again?"
Gu Qian quickened his pace, worried that the little boy might catch a cold, and hurriedly picked him up and carried him into the house, urging him to get dressed.
He felt that he owed the child too much and that he would definitely make it up to him in the future.
Qiu Yan glanced at the sunrise, but before she could even enter the courtyard, Du Changjun arrived again.
Thinking of the man from yesterday, Du Changjun instinctively stepped back.
But thinking that Gu Qian was just a reckless man, he straightened his back again.
Qiu Yan: "Du Changjun, just go to Xingyue Tower. You've come to the wrong place."
Ignoring Qiu Yan's intentions, Du Changjun took out an exquisite jade hairpin from his pocket. "Qiu Yan, I couldn't borrow any silver notes. This jade hairpin is my mother's dowry. I'd like to use it to offset the medical fee. Is that alright?"
He would never allow himself to be like a peasant, running errands and delivering food for diners.
Therefore, we were not underestimated by that man from yesterday.
Inside Gu Xiaoran's room, Gu Qian inadvertently turned his gaze and saw the scene at the courtyard gate. He... suppressed the turmoil in his heart and stared intently at the scene outside the courtyard.
Qiu Yan picked up the jade hairpin and examined it carefully.
The jade hairpin is warm and lustrous, and feels smooth to the touch.
