"No! I don't want you to support me!"
Jiang Duoduo immediately and decisively refused.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. The kindness others show you always comes with a price to pay.
Seeing Duoduo's strong and firm refusal, Gu Yan lowered his eyes, a little sad. "Give me a reason to make money."
Gu Yan meant well, so Jiang Duoduo softened her tone a bit, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm earning money for Mother Ye."
Taking responsibility for Ye's mother's future is only part of the story. Most importantly, the Jiang family has not yet faced bankruptcy...
In any case, she definitely needs to earn money through her own abilities before she can feel at ease.
Moreover, in the original story, the original owner was kept by four male protagonists, and the miserable end she suffered was the price of being kept.
Gu Yan wanted to continue persuading Duo Duo, but when he saw the light shining in her eyes beneath her delicate eyebrows, filled with boundless hope for the future, he was struck by how captivating and dazzling she was—it was the first time he had ever seen her like this.
He dismissed the idea, raised his hand, and gently rubbed her head. "Okay. Then I support Duoduo."
No wonder she's the girl he likes; when she gets serious, she's really endearing.
Jiang Duoduo really didn't expect that Gu Yan would be persuaded by her so easily. She looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you."
Just as the two were getting along well, Ji Yue arrived.
Ji Yue stood at the doorway with an expression as if he had caught a woman in the act, asking, "What are you doing?"
Gu Yan gave Ji Yue a provocative smile upon his appearance, saying, "A secret you don't know."
"Come out." Ji Yue's aura was extremely low. When he gestured for Gu Yan to come out, he could vaguely sense that something seemed amiss.
When the two went out, Jiang Duoduo had no urge to go back to sleep. She quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.
Two men walked out of the Jiang family's house, one after the other.
Before Ji Yue could speak, Gu Yan preemptively said, "Duo Duo has become the female lead in Shen Chuanyu's new song MV. You probably didn't know that, did you?"
Ji Yue paused, "What?"
"Duoduo signed with EE-Media, and you didn't know?"
Ji Yue's expression changed again.
Gu Yan was pleased with Ji Yue's cluelessness and continued, "Duo Duo is doing well. She's going to earn money to support her mother, Ye. Don't stop her."
Ji Yue remained silent for a moment, then, as if realizing something was amiss, he murmured, "Are you serious?"
Ji Yue had always believed that Gu Yan didn't actually like Duo Duo that much. But only now did he suddenly realize that Gu Yan had developed genuine feelings for Duo Duo without him even noticing.
For example, just now, Ye Nian told him that Gu Yan went into Duo Duo's room. Upon hearing this, his first reaction was that Gu Yan probably went to Duo Duo's room to grope her.
However, when he arrived at the door, it was open, and the two people inside were looking at each other and smiling.
And last night, Gu Yan suddenly said "Goodnight" to Duo Duo.
Compared to letting him see Gu Yan groping Duo Duo, this version of Gu Yan made him feel more threatened.
Two tall men, each with their own distinctive good looks, walked side by side in harmony.
Gu Yan made his attitude clear to Ji Yue: "I don't quite remember when I started to take it seriously."
Perhaps it was during that time at the hospital when he wanted to win Duoduo's heart that he started to take it seriously. Or perhaps it was even earlier, when he was carefully choosing a gift for Duoduo at Ye Nian's birthday party...
"Don't look at me like that. We're old enemies, after all." Gu Yan glanced sideways at Ji Yue, who was turned to the side. "Let's deal with Shen Chuanyu first."
