Chapter 80 Secret
Not far away, Dan Shu was biting a cake fork, her eyes sparkling as she watched this "forbidden love" couple.
Shen Jiyang, who had a firm grasp of the overall situation, naturally didn't miss this scene. Seeing Dan Shu engrossed in reading, Shen Jiyang slowly walked over with a wine glass in his hand.
"Oh, not asking about Xiao Han today? Instead, you're going to rave about your uncle's love life?" Shen Jiyang raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing.
Dan Shu's eyes darted around. "Uncle Chen, I seem to remember you were the one who insisted on telling me about his situation. Let me think..."
Before Dan Shu could finish speaking, Shen Jiyang immediately put a finger to his lips, signaling Dan Shu to be quiet.
Dan Shu looked like she was letting him off the hook, waiting for Shen Jiyang to speak.
"Tell me first how you can stop my father from pressuring me to get married, and then I'll tell you about Xiao Han's recent situation." Shen Jiyang said through gritted teeth.
If he weren't just looking to get rid of his grandfather's nagging, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by this little girl, Dan Shu.
Dan Shu smiled casually, "Uncle Chen, you're the one making a deal with me, you should show some sincerity."
The implication was that Shen Jiyang should first tell her about Xiao Han's recent situation, and then she would tell him how to get rid of blind dates.
“Okay.” Shen Jiyang narrowed his eyes. As expected of the third brother’s niece, she was just as shrewd as him.
"The second brother is currently in Southeast Asia and won't be back for a while, but you don't need to worry about his safety. No news is good news."
After hearing these words, Dan Shu's delicate brows furrowed. How could he not be worried? Weapons don't have eyes.
"Are you sure this method will work?" Shen Jiyang looked at Dan Shu, who was looking serious, with suspicion. He seriously doubted that she had good intentions. How could she possibly harm the person she liked like this?
Dan Shu looked indifferent; after all, this idea was entirely beneficial to her.
"Why don't you try it and you'll see?"
Although Shen Jiyang had his doubts, he had to admit that Dan Shu's idea was a solution that could solve the problem once and for all.
"I'll listen to you and give it a try." Shen Jiyang gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.
Dan Shu slightly curved the corners of her lips.
After leaving Dan Shu's side, Shen Jiyang felt that women were the most vicious people! Fortunately, he had no plans to get married, otherwise he would have been dragged into a ditch by a woman.
Dan Shu just told him to publicly declare that he likes Xiao Han, so that his old man wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Although this might affect his ability to pick up girls, it's still better than being annoyed to death by his own father.
Dan Shu's purpose was to create a reputation for Xiao Han being celibate, thus reducing the likelihood of other women having designs on him and greatly increasing her chances of winning him over.
As for whether Shen Jiyang regretted his decision after being beaten half to death by his own father, we can only speculate.
Gu Zhaodi gradually calmed down, and Dan Anwen lowered his head and asked, "Little girl, are you done crying?"
"Okay." The girl shyly stepped out of the man's embrace, her head slightly lowered.
A slight smile appeared on Dan Anwen's handsome face. "Then let's go eat cake."
When the man came over, he hadn't finished the cake the girl had given him. It was the first cake the little girl had ever given him, and even though he didn't like sweets, he would still accept her kindness.
"Uncle Dan, how did you know my birthday is today?" The girl remembered that she had never told anyone the time of her birthday.
Dan An smiled and said calmly, "Your birth date is in the funding information."
The girl didn't suspect anything, and she had no idea that the man had kept her trivial matters in his heart the moment he made that promise at the hospital.
After the banquet, the girl received a lot of gifts, and the elders stuffed the red envelopes very thickly. If they weren't afraid of bursting the red envelopes, they would have stuffed several bundles of money into them.
Gu Zhaodi was sitting in the living room unpacking her birthday gifts. There were clothes and cosmetics from Xiangxiang, various collectible figurines from Dan Si and the others, and high-end luxury items from Uncle Shen and the others.
"Happy birthday, little one." Dan Anwen appeared in front of the girl with a delicate little box in hand.
The girl opened the lid, and inside lay a dark green jade pendant. A slender red rope was wrapped around the jade pendant, which was full of spiritual energy. The words "Peace and Joy" were engraved on the translucent surface.
The characters on the surface of the jade are vigorous and powerful, but upon closer inspection they appear somewhat rough.
"Uncle Dan, did you carve these words?" The girl gently stroked the words on the jade pendant with her fingertips.
Dan Anwen raised an eyebrow in slight surprise and asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Writing and carving are different things, so it's not very easy to tell that these characters came from his hand.
The girl smiled mysteriously, "It's a secret."
Actually, she is quite sensitive to writing. For a period of time, she would secretly imitate Uncle Dan's handwriting when she saw it in the study. Uncle Dan would slightly raise the end of each stroke, which was a little habit of his.
Dan Anwen didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the girl with affection and said, "I'll help you tie it."
"good."
The girl turned slightly to the side, her back to the man, revealing her slender neck to him without any defenses.
Dan Anwen lowered his eyes slightly, staring intently at the girl's dark hair. He gently smoothed the hair to his shoulders, then wrapped his arm around the girl's fair swan neck and fastened the button at the end of the red string.
The man carved this jade pendant a few months ago, and it sat in the temple on the mountain for several months, so it absorbed some of the scent of incense and the man's clean pine resin.
Wearing it on the girl's chest, she could clearly smell the faint fragrance.
......
"Little friend, today is the first day of school, don't be late." Dan Anwen knocked on Gu Zhaodi's door, and only left after hearing her answer from inside.
Ever since Gu Zhaodi moved into Jinshan Villa, she has been constantly instilled with the idea of getting more sleep.
Especially this summer, the men directly stipulated that students should not get up before seven o'clock. It's not that the men think that going to bed early and getting up early is bad, but that a high school student is already under a lot of pressure and should sleep more.
This caused the girl to often wake up early, but then obediently go back to bed for a nap because of the rules. As a result, her habit of waking up early at five o'clock miraculously disappeared, and sometimes she would even wake up late.
Sure enough, last night, perhaps due to her high spirits about starting school the next day, the girl suffered from insomnia for most of the night, tossing and turning until midnight before finally falling asleep. When Dan Anwen returned from her morning run this morning, the girl was still asleep.
"Little girl, did you not sleep well last night?" Dan Anwen asked, noticing the dark circles under the girl's eyes.
Gu Zhaodi yawned, her brows furrowed with sleepiness. "I'm too excited about going to school, so I can't sleep."
This remark successfully made the man laugh; it was the first time he'd ever seen someone so enthusiastic about school.
After breakfast, the girl was driven to school by the man.
Before getting off the bus, Dan Anwen instructed, "If you're really too sleepy, send me a message and I'll pick you up and take you home to catch up on your sleep."
Gu Zhaodi discovered that Uncle Dan was truly a different kind of parent. He didn't think that missing a day of class would kill a student; instead, he completely prioritized her health.
"I understand, Uncle Dan." The girl smiled and waved to the people inside the car after getting off the bus before putting on her schoolbag and entering the school gate.
Little did they know, this scene was captured by someone with ulterior motives and appeared on the school's forum the next second.
Along the way, Gu Zhaodi felt that the classmates on the road were all strange. Almost all of them kept their heads down and looked at their phones the whole time, and sometimes they would glance at her.
Did she wear the wrong clothes today?
Wait a minute, there's an opening ceremony today, so we have to wear school uniforms!
A few girls nearby whispered among themselves, "Is that her?"
"That's her. Look, she looks exactly like the one in the photo."
"So shameless? You still dare to come to class?"
"I guess they don't know yet."
Although Gu Zhaodi found it strange, she didn't pay much attention to it and continued walking towards the classroom with her head down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the classroom, the previously noisy students fell silent the moment they saw the girl.
Li Mu, standing in the corner, smiled maliciously.
