Gu Yan Nian's eyes were like torches as he gloomily stared at Gu Qingyi.

Seeing this, everyone shut their mouths in fright.

Only Gu Qingyi heaved a sigh of relief. She had won the bet.

"Daddy …" She obediently went forward and bent her knees in greeting. Gu Qingyi spoke faintly, she had already thought over what she wanted to say several times, so she was sure that there wasn't the slightest mistake. However … But for some reason, she felt as if something had blocked her throat. She felt depressed and her nose was sore. If she didn't react quickly and take a few deep breaths, she might have cried.

"En!" He nodded slightly. He seemed uninterested, but his eyes were flashing with interest.

This was the first time Gu Qingyi had called out to him as her father. She didn't expect that it would be in such a situation. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't excited, but he could only suppress his excitement and clench his fists. That palm-sized child in his memory, when he saw her again, he was already half a girl. He didn't expect that the time would be so quick.

In all honesty, Gu Yinian could not be considered a good father. For the rest of his life, he had spent most of his energy on his soldiers. For a woman like her, instead … If it wasn't so, then it would be impossible that the Gu Estate hadn't entered the mistress's residence for so many years and allowed even Feng Yue, a concubine, to control it …

But... Although he had never said it out loud, he did have his own feelings, whether it was guilt or regret.

In his previous life, he had trusted the words of others and had never been close with them. Even when they were face to face, it was just an unfamiliar bow. They rarely spent time together, much less when they were father and daughter.

"Don't be afraid, just say what it is you want to say. Daddy won't blame you."

Although her palm-sized face was covered with sinister black spots, it was still possible to tell how similar she was to her little wife from back then. Gu Yinian couldn't help but slow down his tone, deeply afraid that he would scare her. This was his own daughter. With a single glance, he was certain that there was no mistake. This was his own daughter.

No matter what, he still felt a little guilty towards his daughter who had been living in the outside world since she was young. Furthermore … Seeing her made him think of his wife who had died young … Even though he had seen many battles in his life, he still felt slightly sour in his heart, but … However, he spent most of his time messing around with the soldiers. He really didn't know how to get along with this half-grown girl, so he could only try to give her the best possible food and clothes.

However, it was obvious that the effect was not very good.

Even now, she was still wearing simple sackcloth. He didn't know if it was because she didn't like him, but every day, he was busy with work, so he didn't bother to ask.

Looking at her, then looking at the magnificently dressed Gu Xi, Gu Huayan, and the others, Gu Yannan felt even more remorseful.

"Daddy …" I don't know what that little girl said to Gu Yinian, but he wouldn't blame you for saying 'daddy'.

"Prince, what's wrong? Don't scare Qing Yi, she's just a child. They were all family, so it was normal for there to be some friction between brothers and sisters. It was because she didn't know how to act. She shouldn't have clashed with Qing Yi just for the sake of a smile. "Little child, quickly apologize to big sister!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Feng Yue reacted quickly. She immediately went forward and affectionately held Gu Qingyi's hand, turning her body to block Gu Qingyi behind her with a face full of flattery. If it wasn't for her rebirth, Gu Qingyi really would have been moved by her and she wouldn't have blamed herself for her previous life.

"I... "I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you …"

Although Gu Xi's face was full of unwillingness, she obediently lowered her head and apologized. She only glared fiercely at Gu Qingyi, looking as if she wanted to eat her alive.
