Li Yuan hesitated, looking somewhat uneasy.
After hesitating for a while, he finally managed to say, "Doesn't Gu Yibei like our family's breakfast? Let's invite him over tomorrow."
Ji Zhinan grinned, suddenly realizing that his brother and Uncle Charleson were right.
It's not that Dad doesn't like Gu Yibei, he's just too arrogant.
Feeling his daughter staring at him with a smile in her eyes, Li Yuan said arrogantly, "He stole my daughter, I don't have any good feelings towards him. I'm just afraid he'll spread rumors about me outside, saying that in our family, I, Ling Yin Warrens, don't even give him a bite to eat."
How could he let that brat Gu Yibei ruin his good reputation of so many years!
After his arrogant outburst, Li Yuan didn't forget to let out a "humph".
“Okay.” Ji Zhinan didn’t expose her proud father and nodded obediently: “Then I’ll tell Gu Yibei to have dinner with Dad tomorrow.”
"Go and rest."
Goodnight, Dad.

After saying goodbye to his daughter, Li Yuan went to his study, and Charles followed him in.
Charles was happy to see his husband in such a good mood.
"Miss has always cared about you. She has been worried about you all day today and was even a little absent-minded at work."
Upon hearing Charleson's words, Li Yuan's lips curled up into a beautiful smile.
He sat down in the chair, took the shirt out of the bag, looked at the clothes in his hand, and was quite satisfied with them.
Charlesson chimed in cleverly, "This was specially chosen by the young lady after a long time. She put a lot of thought into it and has excellent taste."
"That's right!" Hearing someone praise his daughter, Li Yuan was extremely proud: "My daughter has excellent taste."
"Miss is a very respectful young lady. When she bought a gift for you, sir, she didn't forget to give one to me..."
Charleson was so excited that the words almost slipped out of his mouth.
After he finished speaking, he belatedly realized what he had said, immediately shut his mouth, and cautiously looked at Li Yuan.
Sure enough, she saw her husband's expression change.
Goodness, if he wasn't mistaken, the master definitely thought he was competing with him for the young lady's favor...
After finally getting rid of Young Master Gu, Charleson has provoked Li Yuan again (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)
Charleson, true to form, was quick-witted. Fearing for his safety, he hurriedly said, "The young lady said she wanted to thank me!"
"..."
"The young lady said she wanted to give me a gift to thank me for my help and care over the years. I said I didn't want it, but she said it was a token of her and your appreciation and insisted that I give it to her."
"I'm so glad to receive your gift, sir. I'll definitely keep working hard and doing my job well!"
Fearing that Li Yuan might get carried away in a few seconds, Charleston rattled off a lot of things in one breath, quickly explaining the situation clearly while also flattering Li Yuan.
The young lady gave me the gift because of you, sir. I'm just basking in your glory, so please don't be stingy.
As expected, Li Yuan's expression softened considerably, and a clear sense of pride was faintly visible in his eyes.
Look at his daughter!
Charleson breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "When we were shopping with Miss today, we encountered two people who were about the same age as Miss. They were very unfriendly to Miss."
After briefly recounting what had happened that day, Charles continued, "After returning, I specifically investigated. One is Mu Minmin, the heiress of the Mu Group, and the other is Ji Zhixia, the daughter of the young lady's former adoptive father and also her adoptive sister."
