"Please take care, the two of you aren't far from here."

Gu Yan Nian stood up and clasped his hands together, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint smile. Gu Qingyi obediently stood beside him and bowed as well. At the same time, he didn't forget to size up the man standing beside him.

To be honest, although Gu Yinian was his father, there weren't many opportunities to observe him at such a close distance.

Overall, he was a very reserved person. He did not talk much, and was used to using his actions to everything.

It seemed to be like this in his previous life. In fact, if he were to talk about it in detail, he could be considered quite good to himself.

It was just like how he gave the Fengyi Garden to her.

However, because of his reserved personality, no one had the courage to approach him on their own.

Perhaps it was because of this that after such a long period of time, even though she knew that he was not only good to her, but he also had intentions for her, but …

To himself, he was still a stranger, a very familiar stranger.

Sometimes, they also couldn't help but want to get closer, but when they really did get closer, they couldn't help but shrink back.

It had to be said that even in his middle age, his body was still filled with charm, so much so that … even more attractive than the younger men... Perhaps it was because he had been in the military all year round, but his body did not have the decadence of a middle-aged man, nor did he have a big belly. There was even a trace of age in his eyes, giving people an indescribable sense of security.

She always felt that as long as he was here, as long as she was by his side, she would feel an endless sense of security.

"Prince Gu is being too courteous."

"Yeah, yeah, we'll be going first. We'll meet again next time." Prince Lian and his wife walked out hand in hand, not forgetting to smile and wave their hands. Of course, Prince Lian's consort also remembered to greet Gu Qingyi, "Qingyi, when you have time, come visit me at home. I don't know how lonely I'll be by myself. You can talk to me if you come. "

Prince Lian's Consort was full of smiles as she looked at Gu Qingyi.

It was obvious that she was in a good mood. Even though she had been interrupted in the middle of the journey, however …

Overall, she was still very satisfied, especially Gu Qingyi. She really had nothing to say, so she could finally be at ease.

He had been worried that his silly son would be so weak, but it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

"Many thanks to the wangfei. If there's a chance, I will definitely arrange it at your place."

Gu Qingyi also smiled and nodded.

However, the words that came out of her mouth was something that only she knew.

Tsk tsk, he wouldn't go to Prince Lian's Estate no matter what he said. He truly despised the fact that there weren't enough misunderstandings.

Although Gu Huaiyan couldn't help but charge in today, but … But how effective is it to not till the land is planted … No matter how great the difference in appearance was, Gu Qingyi was well aware. She had originally thought that after Prince Lian's consort saw Gu Huanyan, she would definitely no longer think highly of her.

A beautiful girl and a faceless girl. Anyone with eyes would know what to choose.

However … However, for some reason, she felt that something was different than what she had imagined.

However, forget it, forget it, let's not think about it anymore.

"Follow me."

After sending Prince Lian and his wife off with great difficulty, Gu Qingyi thought that she was finally done for. She didn't expect that she would be stopped by Gu Yinian.

Gu Qingyi was stunned.

Initially, he had wanted to ask her what matter she had for calling him, but before she could say anything, Gu Yinian had already walked far away.

Looking at the departing figure, Gu Qingyi had no choice but to quickly follow.

"Eh …"

Initially, Gu Qingyi thought that her father had left her behind because she said something wrong. However, she didn't expect that when she entered the study, she wasn't the only one in the room. Gu Huanyan was also there.

Furthermore, from her appearance, it seemed that she had been waiting inside for a long time.

Eh, what just happened?

Gu Qingyi was slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered. She quickly walked to Gu Yinian's side. "Father."

In private, Gu Qingyi was still used to calling Gu Yinian her father. She felt that this was the only way to make the two of them feel closer.

Ever since she was a child, she had always been envious of those children who had parents. Every time she saw them affectionately calling out to her parents, she felt empty inside and extremely envious. After she came back, she was actually very happy in her heart. At least, she found her father, and she was the child of her family. She was not a wild child that no one wanted.

But in his previous life, he had always strived hard to make himself a good girl in the eyes of others, so … Even if they yearned for it in their hearts, they could only obediently call him father …

At that time, he had never realized that when he called out to his father, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. It was very faint, but it was actually there.

And if he were to call his father king, his brows would slightly furrow, as if he didn't agree with it …

No matter how tough he was outside, he was still an ordinary father in front of his own children. A man who longs for the warmth of a family... Of course, Gu Qingyi would never tell anyone about this discovery, nor would she let anyone else know about it.

"Mm, wait a moment."

Gu Yinian indifferently nodded, just like what Gu Qingyi had discovered. A faint trace of a smile flashed through his deep eyes. If one wasn't careful, one wouldn't notice it at all. He walked straight to the study table and sat down. Then, he lifted his head to look at Gu Huaiyan who was not far away.

She had already stood up when Gu Yannan entered the room.

At this moment, when she met those deep eyes, she felt her entire body tremble.

Although she was Gu Yinian's adopted daughter in name, she had forgotten how many years she had been alone with him.

In her memory, Gu Yinian hadn't spoken to her often, but he had never treated her unfairly in terms of food and clothing.

As a result, she had always felt that although Gu Yannan was not good at expressing himself, he was truly a kind-hearted person.

But at this moment …

"Father …"

Although her heart was trembling, she still obediently curtsied.

Compared to Gu Qingyi, she was more fond of addressing Gu Yinian as father.

Only this form of address could remind her that she was a person of noble status. She was the daughter of Gu Yinian, and even if she was only an adopted daughter, her status was still extraordinary.

"Yes." After a long while, Gu Yan Nian nodded his head and waved his hand, indicating that she should dispense with the formalities: "Speak, what's the matter?"

Her eyes were like torches as they stared unblinkingly at Gu Huaiyan.

In an instant, Gu Huayan only felt waves of pressure coming from all directions, causing her to be unable to stand steadily.

He had to take deep breaths time and time again, only then was he able to stabilize himself.

"I-I just …" It's just that I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I'm worried about him … "So …" Clenching her fingers tightly, Gu Huaiyan continuously twirled her fingers as she stuttered in explanation. At the same time, she lowered her head, not daring to look Gu Yinian in the eye, afraid that he would see the panic in her eyes.

Yes, she had waited here for more than two hours and thought of a million possibilities.

But who would have thought that her father didn't say anything, and instead … but I asked myself this question...

"Da Da Da …" Gu Yan Nian frowned slightly. His slender fingers gently rested on the table as he looked thoughtfully at Gu Ruoyun. It was as if he could see through her body and into her heart.

Gu Huaiyan, on the other hand, was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.

She had always known that Gu Yinian was a very powerful man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lead a huge army of one hundred thousand or even become the sole king with a different surname. However … However, this was the first time she felt such pressure …

All this time, although Gu Yan Nian was indifferent, but … But it's never been like this...

"Is that so?"

After a long time, Gu Yinian only uttered the word 'cold'.

However, just from these two words, Gu Huayan was so frightened that she knelt onto the ground with a thump. She kowtowed as she explained, "Royal father, please calm your anger. Your daughter is really just missing your father, really, really... "Your daughter doesn't dare lie at all …"

So cold, so scary.

Gu Leyan felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She suddenly felt regret. If she had known that her father would be so angry, she wouldn't have acted so rashly.

Originally … He had wanted to expose that little bitch Gu Qingyi in front of everyone, but … But she never would have thought that her father would be so angry when she hadn't even said anything … Furthermore … Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that she had no idea where her royal father's anger came from.

Naturally, she did not dare to say that she had heard that Prince Lian and his wife had come, and that little bitch Gu Qingyi actually wanted to push her to Xuanyuan Lian, that useless thing …

In this situation, she could only insist that she really missed him.

Whether he believed it or not, she could only insist.

"Is that so? It looks like This King has misunderstood you. "

After a long time, Gu Yan Nian faintly spat out a few words and then waved his hand: "Stand up."

"Thank you, royal father."

Was this considered a pass?

Gu Huayan only felt her legs go weak. She quickly got up and bowed to him, then stood to the side with her head lowered. She was so obedient that she should not have made even the slightest movement.

Gu Yan Nian was deeply afraid that he would accidentally anger him. At that time …

"This King misunderstood you today. It's rare for you to have this kind of filial piety. "Since you've already seen him, you can go back. After a busy day, you're tired too. Have a good rest."

"Thank you, royal father."

Gu Yan Nian didn't say anything else and just waved her away. Although Gu Huayan was full of doubts, she did not dare to linger. She was afraid of what might happen so she could only turn around and walk quickly. When she reached the entrance, she grabbed her skirt and ran like the wind without caring about her image.

She was scared to death. This time, she was really scared to death.

From the moment she had entered the Gu palace until now, this was the first time she had seen Gu Yinian in such a rage.

Just now, for a moment, she had wondered if she would come out alive.

She had never seen Gu Yinian act like this before, and she felt that … He felt as if his whole body had turned ice-cold, as if he could crush himself to death at any moment …

"Huff … huff …" "Whoosh."

After running for a long distance, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She collapsed to the ground and took deep breaths.

Only then did she realize that her back was drenched with sweat.

"Little slut, there will be a day …"

After a long time, she coldly gazed into the distance in the direction of Gu Yinian's study.

It must be that little slut's doing, she must have said something to her father, or else …

She definitely wouldn't let that little bitch off.
