There are strict rules in the Gu family's old house, the first of which is: don't touch the old man's clothes, unless you want to lose your head.
Gu Ru did indeed kill someone because of this, and Gu Qingyan witnessed it.
But now, Gu Yulin can throw a tantrum in his arms...
He concealed his emotions and led Xu Zhaozhao to sit down next to Gu Ru.
Gu Ru showed no intention of entertaining them, busy checking on Gu Yulin's condition in his arms.
"Yu Bao has gained weight and has a good appetite lately."
"Stand up and let Grandpa see if you've grown taller. Wow, you've grown quite a bit!"
How have you been studying lately?
...
Yu Yu complied with and answered all of Gu Ru's requests and questions.
Xu Zhaozhao nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, not daring to pick up the teacup to drink tea and ease her tension. Wouldn't picking up the cup reveal her trembling hands?
Gu Qingyan, who was holding her hand, felt the coldness of her palm, turned to her side, and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
"If he ignores us, we should ignore him too."
Xu Zhaozhao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
This is his father! Why do the two of them seem so unfamiliar with each other...?
Gu Ru asked questions for about ten minutes before finally stopping and giving them a look.
The gentle, warm gaze that had been directed at Gu Yulin turned cold the moment it was directed at them.
Xu Zhaozhao, who had just relaxed a little, immediately perked up again.
My goodness, the eyes of a seasoned capitalist are truly different; it feels like they can see right through you from head to toe.
Fortunately, the old man's gaze didn't linger on them for long; it only lasted a few seconds before he looked away.
Then he said in a calm voice, "You may do as you please. Leave the fish treasure to me."
As she spoke, she took Gu Yulin's hand and led him to the door.
Gu Yulin struggled to turn around, waved to Xu Zhaozhao, and said, "Mom, Grandpa and I are going to play!"
Xu Zhaozhao nodded, and only then did he feel relieved enough to follow Gu Ru.
She understood Yu Yu; the respect and affection he showed for the old man were genuine.
Xu Zhaozhao was worried about revealing some flaws in front of Gu Ru.
They didn't even care about her...
Only she and Gu Qingyan remained in the living room.
"ha--"
Gu Qingyan lifted her cold hand, breathed on it to warm it, and rubbed it for her.
Why are your hands so cold?
Xu Zhaozhao's body stiffened.
No, this guy is doing... what?!
"Let's go, we'll do as we please."
Xu Zhaozhao stood up obediently, like a puppet on a string, following his instructions.
He took off his coat and draped it over her, enveloping her in warmth and the scent of wood. Xu Zhaozhao heard him say, "I'll take you on a tour of the old house."
Once outside the living room, Xu Zhaozhao realized just how big the Gu family's old house really was.
Just this back garden is comparable to a park in the capital.
Gu Qingyan led her along the bluestone path. After passing the magnificent artificial hills, fountains, and flower beds, there was a peach tree at the end of the path.
The peach blossoms above are in full bloom, with the occasional blossom drifting gently downwards.
It's the height of summer, and this peach tree is in bloom at this time of year...
Without a doubt, it must have involved some expensive technology.
They walked to the peach tree.
This peach tree is truly beautiful, and there's a lamp next to it illuminating the entire pink expanse.
Gu Qing reached out and caught a peach blossom that was drifting down, then gently tucked it behind Xu Zhaozhao's ear.
"These flowers are so beautiful."
With just one sentence, all the rosy bubbles in Xu Zhaozhao's mind were driven away.
She even mentally rolled her eyes at Gu Qingyan.
He really is a dog of a man who's allergic to romance.
Now that the atmosphere is right, can't you at least compliment her?
Isn't she prettier than a flower?
