This slap in the face was so fast that it caught him off guard. A closer look revealed that the other members of the Gu family at the table were also clearly surprised. It was obvious that they also knew about Gu Nan's cleanliness habits.

But Nuannuan didn't know that, so she smiled even happier after seeing Gu Nan eat the food she picked up. Her belly was also full in the end, and there was one more person in the group going out for a walk today.

Nuannuan followed Dahuang and Meiqiu around in front, and occasionally ran to the garden to sit on the swing, with her father pushing her from behind.

Everyone was smiling while walking. Of course, there was only one person who was an exception. Gu Nan looked as cold as ice the whole time, which made his mother and grandfather's eyes hurt.

He wasn't like this when he was a child, why is he getting more and more uglier as he grows older?

In fact, if I had to say it, he became this cold and cruel person when Nuan Nuan disappeared...

It’s all the fault of those people back then!

After Gu Nan came back, Nuan Nuan especially loved to hang around him, following him like a little tail, and calling him "brother" in a soft and tender voice from time to time.

Gu Nan would always respond patiently, even though it was only one word each time, but the little guy would still be happy.

"Big brother."

It was time to go back. Nuannuan took small steps towards Gu Nan. She bravely grabbed her brother's bony index finger with her soft little hand.

Her brother's fingers were slightly cool, but the weather was quite hot, so the coolness was just right for her.

"Brother, why are your hands cold?"

Nuan Nuan raised her little face and asked in a baby voice, looking at him with her big black and white eyes, but because she was too tall and she was a dwarf, she could only see the big brother's clear and firm chin.

Gu Nan slightly bent the finger she was holding - "I don't know."

Nuannuan followed him closely, and Gu Nan also walked slowly to accommodate her short legs.

"Are brother's hands cold in winter?"

Gu Nan nodded.

Little Nuannuan immediately looked at him with distressed eyes.

Gu Nan——"???"

"Brother must be very cold then. When it's cold, Nuannuan can hold brother's hand, okay? Big brother's hands are cold, and Nuannuan's are warm. This way brother won't be cold."

Gu Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the little boy who spoke in a baby voice with his eyebrows raised. The corners of his straight lips lifted up slightly in an imperceptible arc.

"Yeah." He agreed, and the little person smiled even more happily, like a little sun, beautiful and warm.

Gu Nan himself had a lot of work to do, so after returning from his walk he went into the study to get busy.

Nuannuan reluctantly left big brother's study. Actually, big brother wanted her to stay and play by herself, but she didn't want to disturb big brother's work.

"I never thought that Nuan Nuan would be so attached to Xiao Nan."

Father Gu felt bitter but he didn’t say anything—“My son is so cold. I don’t know why Nuannuan likes him so much!”

The tone was so weird that even if he didn't say it, everyone could smell the sour smell of old vinegar.

Mother Gu rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You are jealous of both your son and daughter. I really admire you."

Father Gu said stubbornly: "Nuannuan was obviously the one who clung to me the most before."

At this time, Mr. Gu walked past him and gave him a disdainful look - "What nonsense are you talking about, Nuannuan obviously likes to stick to me the most."

Father Gu immediately became dissatisfied. "Dad, you are wrong. As long as I am not at work, Nuannuan is with me most of the time."

The father and son started arguing again. Mother Gu shook her head and walked away. She didn't know how her elegant and steady husband could become so childish.

Mother Gu went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit, and Nuannuan ran in with small steps.

Mother Gu immediately fed her a big round grape. The little girl's cheeks became round after eating it, and her clean and bright eyes became bigger. Even though she sees Nuannuan like this every day, Mother Gu is still touched by her baby daughter.

"Why is my Nuan Nuan so well behaved?"

Mother Gu squatted down and gently poked Nuan Nuan's puffy cheeks. A small dimple immediately sank in, and she looked so cute with her big innocent eyes.

Mother Gu hugged her daughter tenderly and gave her a kiss on her little face.

Nuannuan chewed the grapes in her mouth and swallowed them, then tiptoed to give her mother a sweet kiss.

"My daughter is so good." "My mother is so beautiful!"

The mother and daughter began to praise each other's business, and then both laughed.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

The little fellow was scratching the kitchen counter with his big watery eyes, looking over intently and seeing that quite a lot of fruits had already been washed.

"Mom, what kind of fruit does big brother like to eat?"

As soon as Mother Gu heard this, she knew Nuannuan wanted to send some fruit to her son.

"Do you like big brother so much?" Mother Gu asked with a smile.

Nuan Nuan nodded obediently - "I like it."

The baby voice that answered was so soft.

Mother Gu rubbed her furry head. "Your big brother is very cold. Many children were scared to tears by him before."

Little Nuan Nuan puffed up her cheeks to help defend her older brother.

“They are timid.”

After that, she added softly, "Big brother is very good."

It’s not big brother’s fault.

Mother Gu chuckled and handed her a plate of fruit. "Okay, I know your big brother is very kind. Take it."

Nuannuan blushed with shyness, reached out to hug the fruit plate, and ran away with her short legs.

Arriving at the door of her eldest brother's study, she pushed it open directly, carefully revealing half of her furry little head to observe inside.

Gu Nan sat in a leather work chair with an indifferent expression, staring blankly at the computer in front of him. He responded from time to time, and his voice was emotionless, like a cold robot. The strong sense of oppression he brought could be felt through the screen.

All the subordinates on the other side of the computer were already used to his behavior. Moreover, they all worshipped Gu Nan very much, and he was like a god to them.

Nuan Nuan was holding a fruit plate and looking around, not knowing whether she should go in or not. She wanted to give her big brother something to eat, but she was afraid of disturbing him. Her delicate face was full of worries, until...

"Come in."

A familiar and indifferent voice came from inside, but if you listen carefully, you can find a subtle tenderness hidden inside.

As if she was discovered, Nuannuan tapped her toes shyly and walked in with the fruit plate in her little arms.
