Mu Zhihang withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said, "Miss Yan is a lucky woman."
After all, being able to eat is a blessing.
Yan Yirou was enjoying her meal when she was suddenly called upon again. She looked up at Mu Zhihang and said, "President Mu is truly blessed."
Mu Zhihang was taken aback.
Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow and smiled, staring at Mu Zhihang: "Alright, can't even food shut you up?"
Alright, one against two, Mu Zhihang shut up.
He looked at the table full of delicious food, all of which was paid for by him, and he couldn't even say a few words... He finally understood that the men of the Gu and Qin families were the worst at forgetting their friends for the sake of beauty.
No, Qin San is not.
Mu Zhihang decided that after dinner, he would call Qin San out for some fun and relaxation.
Forty minutes later, Gu Chenye and Yan Yirou were the first to leave Panlong Restaurant.
Once in the car, Gu Chenye explained, "I'm sorry, I told you you were my girlfriend in the private room before you even nodded. Although he and I are like brothers, the fewer people who know our secret, the better, do you understand?"
Yan Yirou understood, of course: "I know, I'm not blaming you."
Gu Chenye breathed a sigh of relief, but said firmly, "But I will wait for you to nod."
Yan Yirou: "..."
How is she supposed to respond to that?
Yan Yirou could only pretend to be stupid and smile.
Gu Chenye glanced at the time; it was just past nine o'clock. He asked, "Can I take you home a little later?"
Well!
This was the first time Yan Yirou had met a man like him, asking a girl so directly. But for some reason, she felt very happy, and a smile appeared on her face: "Sure, where are you going?"
Gu Chenye suggested in a consultative tone, "It's still early, would you like to go to the observatory on the top of the mountain in the southern suburbs?"
"OK."
Yan Yirou leaned back in her chair, feeling quite good now, much more relaxed than when she was at the Yan family home.
Whenever she thought of the Yan family, she couldn't help but think of Yan Yixuan.
Yan Yixuan does not plan to abort the child, and the two families are discussing the wedding.
But Ji Xianli is a scumbag, and she is conflicted about whether to tell her elders, since she is occupying Yan Yirou's body, and the Yan family is tied to Ji Xianli, so they might become cannon fodder.
Gu Chenye noticed that she frowned, as if she was worried about something.
"If you need anything, you can tell me. No matter what it is, I will do my best to help." He said this very sincerely.
Yan Yirou believed him, but she smiled brightly and said, "I've thought it through."
She'll be going back...it might be very late. She'll go see the old lady tomorrow morning.
???
Yu Wan didn't know where Ji Mingjing was taking her, and even though she was very sleepy, she didn't dare to go to sleep.
Just keep your eyes open, endure it, and watch.
Finally, the car drove into the military area.
Instantly, Yu Wan was filled with doubt and surprise. Why had she been brought here?
The people who took her mother away that day did look like soldiers, so was her mother being held here by them?
Yu Wan couldn't help but get excited.
But to her surprise, the first person she met was Shangguan Wu.
Upon seeing Shangguan Wu again, Yu Wan's feelings were quite complicated.
She was very grateful to Shangguan Wu for saving her back then, and she thought they were friends. But when she came to ask for help, she was so perfunctory...
In fact, Yu Wan knew that Shangguan Wu had no obligation to help her, so she had no reason to blame her.
But if it wasn't her fault, Yu Wan didn't know who to blame.
Yu Wan bit her lip tightly, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.
Shangguan Wu noticed the complicated look in her eyes, his gaze sweeping over the dark circles under her eyes. He then gestured for her to sit down: "Please sit down. If you still trust me, you can ask me any questions you may have."
Yu Wan was suddenly startled.
"Can I really ask you anything?" Yu Wan just wanted to know where her mother was!
Shangguan Wu looked into her eyes and smiled slightly: "Mm."
Yu Wan met her gaze: "Is my mother here?"
"Mm." Shangguan Wu nodded.
Yu Wan was overjoyed, the sorrow between her brows vanished instantly, and she said excitedly, "You know where my mother is, right? Can you take me to see my mother? Please!"
Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Yu Wan continued, "I apologize to you. I never thought before I spoke. You can hit me or scold me as you please. I just beg you to help me one last time... Wu Bao, please."
After speaking, Yu Wan knelt down before Shangguan Wu.
Shangguan Wu quickly avoided her deep bow, looked into her eyes, and after a while, asked, "You just want to meet her once? Get up first, let's sit on the sofa and talk."
Yu Wan listened to her and sat on the sofa. A look of struggle flashed in her eyes, but she finally said, "I... I still want to ask my mother a few more questions."
Shangguan Wu asked her curiously, "What do you want to ask your mother?"
Yu Wan replied without hesitation, "I want to know if what the police said is true. My mother rarely goes out; she spends most of her time in the small Buddhist shrine. I don't believe she's some kind of hypnosis organization, a ruthless leader who kills without blinking an eye. As long as she hasn't killed anyone, I'll do whatever it takes to get my mother out!"
"I see."
Shangguan Wu nodded knowingly and said to her, "I don't have the right to take you to see your mother, but I will ask her. If the person who detained her agrees, I will come back and take you there. Now you should rest. You look very tired."
"I'm not sleepy, I..."
Before Yu Wan could finish speaking, Shangguan Wu interrupted her: "You have very dark circles under your eyes. You probably haven't been sleeping well these past few days, right? If you ever get a chance to see your mother, she'll probably lose sleep worrying about you too."
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, a wave of emotion welled up inside her, and she said gratefully, her voice choked with emotion, "Wu Bao, thank you."
"You're welcome." You might hate me when you find out the truth.
Shangguan Wu silently added a sentence in his mind.
As she escorted Yu Wan to the door of a guest room, she suddenly asked, "By the way, how did you find this place?"
Yu Wan frowned: "Ji Mingjing brought me here."
Shangguan Wu feigned surprise and asked, "Did you go to him for help?"
"No, he kidnapped me." Yu Wan gritted her teeth.
Before coming here, Yu Wan hated Ji Mingjing, but knowing that she might see her mother here, she felt fortunate that Ji Mingjing had brought her here.
Shangguan Wu frowned with worry: "He kidnapped you? How did he know where you were? If that's the case, then you're not safe out there at all."
Yu Wan remained silent.
I thought she would live well on her own after leaving that home, but she found out after leaving home that life was difficult, she had to do everything herself, and she had to hide.
If it weren't for finding her mother, Yu Wan thought she probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.
"I wish there was a safe place."
Shangguan Wu sighed and shook his head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You should get some sleep first. I'll go ask if you can meet your mother."
Yes, it would be nice to have a safe place.
Yu Wan repeated it to herself.
