While Nuannuan was eating, her cell phone rang. The little girl took out the phone with her cheeks puffed up.
"It's Dad."
She swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke softly, looking at her third brother with her big watery eyes.
"Dad should go back soon."
Gu Mingyu stretched out a finger and poked her soft little cheeks. He didn't eat much and basically watched the little girl eat the whole thing. Mainly, the cute and happy look on her face while eating was too eye-catching.
"Don't go back yet. I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
Nuannuan blinked, said "oh" softly and answered the phone.
"dad--"
"Baby, when will you come back?"
Mr. Gu's voice was gentle and his tone was doting.
Nuan Nuan said in a baby voice, "Dad, Nuan Nuan, my cousin, fourth brother, and third brother are having dinner outside. Third brother said he wants to take Nuan Nuan out to play."
“What!!”
Gu Linmo's voice suddenly rose, and then Nuannuan's phone was taken away by a pair of slender fingers with distinct joints.
"Uncle."
When Gu Mingyu answered the phone, he leaned back slightly on the chair with his legs crossed. This action may look a bit rogue when done by some people, but noble and elegant when done by others, and he was obviously the latter.
"Nuannuan is here with me. If you and your aunt are busy, you can go back first. We finally came here, so you should take her to other places to play. It would be a pity if you don't have time to take her out to play in the future. I will also go back to Lincheng in two days, and I will take Nuannuan with me then."
Dad Gu almost jumped up and down. "No... I'm worried about leaving Nuannuan here."
Gu Mingyu had a smile on his face, but his tone of voice revealed a heartbreaking sadness.
"Uncle, don't you trust me? Although I'm not as mature and stable as my elder brother, I can protect Nuannuan. Besides, I just met Nuannuan after I came back, and we haven't had a good exchange of feelings between siblings.
Unlike you guys who can often get along with her and meet her, I can’t stay at home for long. I have to be busy flying to various places to film. I may not have time to see her properly in the future..."
The people at the scene——"..."Gu Linmo on the opposite side——"..."Gu Linmo took a deep breath and was about to say something with gritted teeth when his cell phone was snatched away by his wife.
"Mingyu, I'm your aunt. Please take Nuannuan with you and have fun for a few days. But remember to keep warm and don't get sick. Don't be sad."
Gu Mingyu's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief - "Really, aunt? But uncle's side..."
It's just the right amount of hesitation to say something.
Mother Gu said gently, "It's okay, take your sister out to play, your uncle is here with me."
Mr. Gu was shocked—“But…”
"Okay, remember to ask Nuannuan to video call me in the evening. Auntie is hanging up now."
After he finished speaking, a beeping sound came from the other side.
Gu Mingyu raised the corner of his mouth and blinked at Nuannuan who was staring at him in amazement.
“Done!”
Nuan Nuan——"Third brother, you... you are so annoying!"
She couldn't close her little mouth for a long time.
You were smiling just now, how could you say such sad words?
Gu Mingyu handed her the phone - "No big deal."
Bai Mohua was curious but didn't dare to speak loudly to Gu Mingyu, so she could only go to Gu Mingli and whisper in his ear.
"Is this the best actor? Your brother is really amazing!"
Gu Mingli was speechless - "He has loved acting since he was a child and has fooled many people."
After finishing his meal, he asked the waiter to sign for him, put on a mask, and left with Nuannuan.
"Let's go back to the apartment first. I just finished filming and rushed back. I'm tired and want to sleep now. Can Nuan Nuan accompany me?"
He looked at Nuannuan with a vulnerable face. If you look closely, the dark circles under his eyelids are quite obvious. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is mainly because his skin is too white.
The little girl held his handsome face in her hands and felt so distressed when she saw how tired he looked.
Nuan Nuan nodded her head vigorously, her voice soft and sticky - "Okay, Third Brother, go and have a rest."
Gu Mingli stretched lazily, like a sated leopard. After getting on the bus, he took up most of the seats, tilted his head and leaned lazily on Bai Mohua's shoulder.
"Let me borrow your shoulder for a rest."
Bai Mohua sat in a small space, feeling depressed, with a heavy head on his shoulders and a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He pushed Gu Mingli's head with his hand.
"Please move aside. Can you sit a little closer?"
Gu Mingli closed his eyes - "No, I'm grown up and tall, and you're so small, it's not like you can't sit. Let me lean on it, I have a headache."
Bai Mohua gritted his teeth. This person just bullied him because he was weak!
"Then you rely on your brother."
"He smells too bad."
Just as he finished speaking, he was knocked. Gu Mingyu narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously, with a slightly cold smile on his face.
"My dear brother, please explain what you just said, okay?"
Gu Mingli muttered: "I am telling the truth. Can you please use less perfume?"
Gu Mingyu sneered, and her beautiful pink lips started to twitch as soon as she opened them.
"I haven't gotten over the stench of sweat on you yet. Only because you're my brother can I tolerate you until now. If it were someone else, I would have thrown him out long ago.
You made my car smell so bad that I had to hold my breath to feel better. You think you are so manly. People who don't know would think I put durian in the car. After all, durian is edible. What else can you do except stink people up? "
This sharp-tongued guy, Gu Mingli regretted it, he shouldn't have said such a mean thing, he knew clearly what a bad person his brother was, he could say ten more venomous things for every one he said.
"Brother...I was wrong!"
Gu Mingli admitted his mistake without hesitation. If it was a fight, he would definitely not be scared, but a quarrel? No one in the family could beat him in an argument.
Gu Mingyu listened to the conversation elegantly and noblely under Bai Mohua's adoring and sparkling eyes. He took off his duckbill cap and blew on it.
"Why do you have to be so rude?"
Gu Mingli——“…”
"If someone beats you up someday, I'll be there to watch."
Maybe I can help.
Gu Mingyu chuckled - "I'm so sorry, I guess there's no chance. I, your brother, always bring several bodyguards with me when I go out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver in front suddenly looked unhappy.
"Boss, we are being followed."
The expression on Gu Mingyu's pretty face instantly fell - "Another illegitimate child?"
The driver nodded.
Gu Mingli took pleasure in the misfortune of others——"Oh no, it seems someone didn't bring a bodyguard today."
The agent and assistant quickly made a phone call - "I'll call the bodyguard over now."
The van behind them was following very closely. After they accelerated here, the car behind them also accelerated like crazy, as if they were risking their lives. Moreover, there were quite a lot of cars and people on this road.
Gu Mingyu made a prompt decision: "Let's stop at a place with few people."
Nuannuan nervously pulled at her third brother's clothes, with a panicked expression on her delicate little face.
"Third brother."
Gu Mingyu squeezed her thin and soft fingers comfortingly.
"Don't worry, it will be solved soon."
