He withdrew his hand but picked up the sandwich on the table anyway: "Never mind, this is the first time Auntie has eaten breakfast with such relish, I won't take it from her."
Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Luo Shi: "If you like it, Auntie will bring it to you tomorrow."
No, not today's, because... it was given to me by him.
“Okay,” Luo Shi readily agreed.
…………
The next day, around six in the morning, Ji Zhinan was woken up by someone bumping into him.
When she groggily opened her eyes, she saw Gu Yibei's fluffy short hair.
Ji Zhinan held Gu Yibei's head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yibei looked up and kissed her on the lips: "Let me show you a show."
Ji Zhinan let out a soft moan, clearly uninterested, and yawned, preparing to fall asleep. Gu Yibei placed one hand behind his back and supported her with the other, lifting Ji Zhinan up like a child, and strode towards the window.
Pulling back the curtains a little, the sunlight streamed in, and Ji Zhinan became much more awake.
"What's wrong?"
"Look over there." Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow in a certain direction.
Ji Zhinan followed the gaze and saw a gray figure standing at the entrance of Villa No. 1.
It is Li Yuan.
Ji Zhinan instantly regained his senses.
"dad?"
Judging from Li Yuan's attire, he must be getting ready for a morning run.
But for some reason, he kept standing at the door looking around.
He straightened his clothes, and after making sure everything was alright, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed it on himself a few times.
The strong fragrance exploded in front of his nose. Li Yuan coughed several times and quickly reached out to fan away the smell. Then he spun around several times to spread the fragrance evenly on his clothes.
Ji Zhinan: "..."
"...Dad is...wearing perfume???"
Ji Zhinan expressed her shock, while Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow, unsurprised, and said, "Keep watching."
Downstairs, after spraying perfume, Li Yuan put the bottle back in his pocket when he heard a woman's voice: "Good morning."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up immediately. He coughed to calm himself down and then replied calmly, "Good morning."
Luo Ling was still wearing that gray tracksuit, with her hair in a ponytail, and the two of them jogged side by side very naturally.
A faint fragrance wafted to her nose, and Luo Ling frowned: "You wear perfume for your morning run?"
“…” Li Yuan coughed and calmly replied, “No, it’s just the smell of my laundry detergent.”
"I see." Luo Ling nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
From an angle where Li Yuan couldn't see, Luo Ling turned slightly to the side, a smile playing on her lips.
This is clearly a new perfume from Lorna Group's beauty line, not laundry detergent.
………
Upstairs, Ji Zhinan stared in surprise at the two jogging side by side: "She..."
Gu Yibei spoke calmly: "She bought Villa No. 4 three years ago."
Therefore, it was not done intentionally.
Seeing Ji Zhinan's worried face, the man gently reached out to smooth her brows: "Don't worry, Bai Chuan has been keeping an eye on the Luo family. There's nothing unusual about the Luo family. Luo Ling and Luo Shi came to China for work."
It was only after confirming that Luo Ling was not in danger that Gu Yibei allowed his father-in-law to flirt with other women.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhinan breathed a sigh of relief.
The events of twenty years ago, without any explanation, had already hurt her father once; she was afraid that Luo Ling would hurt him again…
Ji Zhinan would never forget Li Yuan, who slumped to the floor of the art studio, his dim eyes filled with pain and despair, as if he had lost all hope for life.
