It was only a simple movement, but Li Muyan's hands were slightly frozen.

"You …"

"Thank you." Gu Qingyao said softly, with a serious expression.

Li Muyan thought silently. He was just thanking his, why did he shake his hand?

Gu Qingyao seemed to have realized that she had lost control of herself as she gave a light cough, and wanted to release her hand. Li Muyan let out a light laugh, and directly took the initiative to do so, and said: "When you are facing me, you always seem to be very nervous."

Gu Qingyao did not say anything as she realized this.

However, in front of Li Muyan, it was as if all her shrewdness had disappeared. She was like a real child, helpless in front of him.

"Afraid of me?" Li Muyan squinted his eyes.

"Um …" "Maybe it's because..."

Li Muyan raised his eyebrows, and patiently waited for Gu Qingyao's answer.

"You're a little like the former head of high school." Gu Qingyao mustered her courage and said seriously.

… …. Li Muyan really wanted to beat him up.

He did not know what the answer he was looking for was, but the little girl in front of him was still unrepentant as she said, "It's just that it's a little bit fierce, but I also know that it's for my own good, so …"

"When did I ever kill you?" Li Muyan asked.

Gu Qingyao blinked her eyes, "You're still holding onto my hand."

Li Muyan's expression did not look too good as he loosened his grip and stared fixedly at Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao looked at Li Muyan for a while, and laughed depressingly: "I was lying to you, I said before that I thought Mr. Li had a good personality, and I really thought so, you treated me really well."

Hearing Gu Qingyao's words, Li Muyan was slightly stunned.

Gu Qingyao thought for a while, then handed over a document: "That's right, I wanted to fax it to you previously, but I was a little worried, so I brought it over to you personally."

"What is it?"

"I've already confirmed the list of participants for the previous party. There shouldn't be any problems." Gu Qingyao said.

Li Muyan pursed his lips slightly, "Thank you."

"No need." Gu Qingyao said: "You have helped me so much, and only allowed me to do this one thing. I already feel very apologetic in the bottom of my heart."

"The person who took the photo that day found it." Li Muyan said: "It's just a side profile."

Gu Qingyao stared at it for a while, then shook her head: "No impression."

"He's a reporter from the tabloid, Chen Dong," Li Muyan said. "Previously, I seem to be very familiar with the Mr. Gu, but because of the unfavorable news that occurred a few times, the Mr. Gu and this person reached an agreement, so it was not reported."

Gu Qingyao did not speak, only frowning slightly.

Li Muyan said: "What do you want me to do?"

Gu Qingyao was startled. "I... "This photo doesn't have your face on it. It's clear that this Chen Dong doesn't dare to offend you, so I'll take care of this myself."

"If this was done by the Mr. Gu, then you can't handle it yourself." Li Muyan said without hesitation.

Gu Qingyao closed his eyes: "I really hope that he didn't do it."

Li Muyan looked at Gu Qingyao, a hint of weakness flashed past her eyes: "I always felt that Father loved me, but if even this matter was done by Father, I really cannot deceive myself anymore."

This time, Li Muyan took the initiative to extend his hand out, covering Gu Qingyao's hand with it.

His actions were very gentle, and his broad and thick palm covered the back of Gu Qingyao's hand. After that, he turned around and grabbed each and every one of Gu Qingyao's fingers in his palm.

Gu Qingyao held her breath as she looked over, she saw that Li Muyan's expression was extremely serious. "This afternoon's medical examination, tomorrow the DNA results will be out, no matter what the result is, there is nothing to worry about, after all …" In the last four words, Li Muyan seemed to have made up his mind, and only now did he say it: "I will accompany you."

Gu Qingyao was silent for a long time, then smiled: "Thank you."

She knew that Li Muyan wasn't able to keep her company for too long, it was just a cooperative relationship. What Li Muyan had done now, had already moved Gu Qingyao.

She had to convince herself again and again that Li Muyan and the Gu family's past was so tragic and between them … Actually, he didn't even have a paper-thin emotional foundation.

Li Muyan was indeed good, but if it was good like that, it would never belong to him.

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly and carefully removed her hand from Li Muyan's hand. Suddenly, she came in contact with the slightly cold air outside, causing Gu Qingyao's fingers to unconsciously tremble. She smiled and asked: "Is Mr. Li so good to every girl?"

Li Muyan's face slowly turned gloomy: What do you think I am?

Gu Qingyao could feel Li Muyan's hidden anger. She coughed lightly, but still asked seriously: "Then … Why are you so good to me? Mr. Li, you don't need to use this cooperation to lie to me. I know what happened just now wasn't only a cooperation that could be explained, but also … Mr. Li wishes for me to fall for you? "

Her tone was so serious that even her eyes were unmistakably clear.

Li Muyan suddenly felt speechless.

He found himself stuck, trapped by the eighteen-year-old girl's question.

It was as if he was coiled up into a cocoon and could not move at all.

Li Muyan quietly looked at Gu Qingyao for a long time, before speaking in the most ancient tone, "Because I really admire you, you are still very young, but you have a very clear plan for your future path, saying that you like the financial field is not merely saying it, but actually putting it into practice. When your father was cheating, you immediately found the best way to retaliate, and you also have a very high EQ, so you know what to say.

Li Muyan's serious tone made Gu Qingyao flabbergasted.

She had never thought that she would actually be able to hear Li Muyan's heartfelt words, and in the end, she was able to receive them.

Whether he was that good or not, this... this... Mr. Li's mind went blank.

Li Muyan paused, and frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that Gu Qingyao is not satisfied with this answer?

He paused and added dryly, "And you're cute."

With that, Gu Qingyao's face immediately reddened. "Thank you, thank you."

The corner of Li Muyan's lips slightly curved upwards: "Is the reason sufficient?"

"..." It was enough. Gu Qingyao continued to feel that she was about to explode.

"But you've been losing some foreign exchange recently, haven't you? If we're short of funds, I can … "

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qingyao quickly replied: Although I lost my foreign exchange, I did not put all my funds into it. There is already a lot of money, I don't even know how to repay you … …

"Speaking of repayment... It's my birthday next Tuesday. Are you free? "

Li Muyan suddenly asked.

In fact, he regretted it the moment he opened his mouth.

He had never celebrated his birthday, and this day was not really a day worth being happy about. However, when he saw the light that suddenly lit up in the depths of Gu Qingyao's eyes, the corner of Li Muyan's lips slightly curved upwards.

He suddenly felt no regret. Perhaps this birthday had some other meaning.
