Gu Jingyao's eyes flickered, but he did not continue to struggle with the matter of asking a tutor.
Asking a tutor for his niece was originally just an excuse to come and talk to Qi Anran. If Qi Anran agreed, it would be best for him, so that he would have more time and more opportunities to contact her.
But if Qi Anran doesn't want to, he won't be forced to do so. What he cares more about is obviously...
"Ms. Qi is talking about General Huo's family?" Gu Jingyao paused, and tentatively asked, "Is Miss Qi living in General Huo's house now?"
"Of course." Qi Anran deliberately raised the wedding diamond ring in his hand so that Gu Jingyao could see, "We both got our certificates. Where else can we live without his house?"
"Then...Is there anyone in Miss Qi's family?"
"My natal family?" Qi Anran was amused by Gu Jingyao's adjective. She didn't even know that she still had something like her natal family?
"Is there anything wrong?" Gu Jingyao asked knowingly, "Ms. Qi said before that your mother has passed away. But besides her, Ms. Qi's parents have no other relatives?"
Qi Anran raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the person in front of him with a smile but a smile: "I felt that when I met Mr. Jia in this neighborhood last time, Mr. Jia seems to be particularly interested in my family affairs."
Gu Jingyao's face stiffened for a moment when Qi Anran said this.
However, it was only a moment, and it quickly returned to the original state. I thought about it and asked: "I just remembered suddenly that Miss Qi seemed to mention that she didn't have a father before."
Qi Anran suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Jingyao, Gu Jingyao's heart twitched, and the hand hanging under the table tightened subconsciously.
I don’t know how long it took before Gu Jingyao heard Qi Anran’s almost mocking question: "What? Mr. Jia discriminates against the child whose father is unknown?"
Gu Jingyao's eyes widened suddenly, and he was surprised and flustered: "Of course not, I...I...you..."
Gu Jingyao forced herself to calm down, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said a complete sentence: "Miss Qi, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean to offend you at all, but I was a little curious why Miss Qi would say such a thing, it’s your father. Died early, or is it due to other reasons?"
Qi Anran didn't speak, but looked at Gu Jingyao for a while.
Gu Jingyao's heart was lifted again by her sight, and the whole person froze on the seat, not daring to move.
Qi Anran smiled again and said meaningfully: "Actually, it's nothing. My mother had a little experience when she was young and didn't know the world. She met a scumbag. But fortunately, she knew how to return and stopped the loss in time. He took me away from the scumbag and raised me alone. Since then, I haven't been tempted by other men, so I naturally don't have a father."
"Scumbag?" Gu Jingyao shook his whole body. He only felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't even speak. "That's what your mother told you?"
Qi Anran suddenly raised his head and looked over. Those quiet eyes seemed to see through Gu Jingyao's eyes and see his heart suddenly, making all his thoughts invisible.
"It doesn't matter whether my mother told me that way, the important thing is that I understand it that way."
Gu Jingyao's face turned white, and after a while he asked in a dumb voice: "Then if... if your father appeared in front of you again, would you recognize him?"
