Gu Yibei also felt the needle-like gazes on his back, and looked up to meet his young father-in-law's death stare.
After only a couple of seconds of stunned silence, Gu Yibei quickly regained his composure, casually putting one arm around Ji Zhinan, his demeanor calm, composed, and polite.
"dad."
Ji Zhinan, who was in his arms, also spoke up: "Dad..."
Seeing Gu Yibei's shamelessness, still shamelessly calling him "Dad," Li Yuan didn't sense any respect from him at all, and only felt that this brat was provoking him!
She stood at his door late at night, hugging his daughter in front of him!
Li Yuan's face was so dark it blended right into the night. He tried his best to maintain a shred of rationality in front of his daughter, pressing his long right leg and suppressing the urge to kick Gu Yibei away.
Gu Yibei remained calm and composed, offering an explanation before his young father-in-law could erupt in anger, even though he knew it would be futile.
"Nan Nan and I were going the same way, so we came back together."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, squeezing out the two short words bit by bit: "On the way?!"
"Yes." Young Master Gu nodded calmly, pointed to Villa No. 2, and said in a very humble and friendly manner: "Dad, this is my house here."
Li Yuan: "???"
"I have to thank Dad. If you hadn't moved here with Nan Nan, I would have forgotten that I even owned a property here."
Li Yuan: "!!!"
“With me here, Nan Nan is safe outside. Dad, you don’t need to worry too much at home. It’s so late and you’re still not resting.”
"..." It's precisely because you're here that I'm worried, okay?!
Li Yuan almost coughed up a mouthful of blood from Gu Yibei's anger.
No wonder this guy surnamed Gu used to come to his house for a free meal every morning at seven o'clock sharp, never earlier or later, just at that exact time.
Jiujin Platinum Palace is quite a distance from here, requiring more than half an hour by car.
He thought that this guy surnamed Gu was sleeping on the floor in front of his house every day so that he could come to his house for a free meal on time!
Little did he expect that the other side had already infiltrated his territory and even managed to take his daughter out right under his nose!
Li Yuan just stared at Gu Yibei for a long time, but in the end he didn't do anything. He just said, "Nannan, come home with Daddy."
"Dad..." Ji Zhinan was about to say something, but Li Yuan had already turned back.
Ji Zhinan pursed her lips and said to Gu Yibei, "I'll go back with Dad first. You should get some rest."
"Okay." Gu Yibei nodded, stroked her black hair, and said gently, "Get some rest."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Gu Yibei, Ji Zhinan jogged after him.
With his wife gone, Mr. Gu felt a great emptiness in his heart.
He silently stared in the direction his wife had left, and even after she was out of sight, he was still unwilling to look away.
"Sir, we can't see him anymore. Let's go home early. It's quite cold outside..." Bai Chuan appeared silently behind Gu Yibei, wearing his thick cotton-padded coat.
Gu Yibei gave him a disdainful look and turned back to the villa.
Well, his "good" impression of his father-in-law has once again vanished.
Now that her father-in-law knows she lives in Villa No. 2, it'll be a bit difficult to take Nan Nan out on dates so easily in the future...
Gu Yibei was extremely frustrated. He had to think of a way to make his young father-in-law reluctantly accept him as his son-in-law.
……………
Li Yuan, unusually, did not wait for his daughter, but went upstairs to his study on his own.
Ji Zhinan silently followed behind and entered the study.
I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap first.
