Li Muyan felt that he was in a good mood, better than any moment before.

Gu Qingyao had said it countless times and asked it again as a side question. His answer was always that, that ambiguous yet calm sentence — —

"We are in a cooperative relationship."

Even though they were cooperating together, he still worried about them.

Where did such a cooperative relationship exist?

Li Muyan knew he would care about her, care about her every move, care about her feelings and emotions. But in such a relationship, he wanted to see Gu Qingyao's sincerity.

Now, Li Muyan thought he saw it for himself.

Gu Qingyao quickly regained her calm and said: "But it is quite strange. Back then, Yue Jingfeng was not considered to be an influential figure in the school, and it was the same for me then … I don't know why this sort of thing got out. "

Li Muyan slightly nodded his head, "This kind of thing can only be done by acquaintances. Furthermore, since then, we should have been prepared to use this as a bargaining chip at any time."

Gu Qingyao sighed, "This can be considered to be enduring for many years, right?"

Li Muyan frowned: "Indeed, but if there's really someone who's been staring at you like that from the very beginning, then that person will often carry malicious intent for a long time now."

Gu Qingyao went silent.

She probably thought of someone, but she wasn't sure yet.

"You have to be wary of Lin Xiaxue, especially during this period of time." Li Muyan said.

Gu Qingyao was startled: "You also think that she would make a move during this time in America?"

"Her mood isn't right recently. If Yue Jingfeng comes closer to you, she might be dissatisfied." Li Muyan said.

Gu Qingyao subconsciously opened her mouth: "But you're also here."

"Eh?"

"I mean. If you are here, they probably wouldn't dare to do anything to you. " Gu Qingyao laughed.

She had never realized that she would say these words so indifferently.

It was like subconsciously relying on something.

Li Muyan was silent for a long time, and then, she chuckled softly, "Yes, if I'm here, you don't have to worry, she won't easily make a move. As long as you're by my side, I'll definitely be able to protect you."

Gu Qingyao's earlobes suddenly became a little hot.

She grabbed her mobile for a long time before replying, "I know."

It sounded like a mosquito.

Li Muyan let out a low laugh, his smile carrying an air of unspeakable gentleness.

Gu Qingyao was startled yet again, but Li Muyan didn't say anything, he only smiled and said: "Rest early."

"Mm. Alright."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Eh?" Gu Qingyao was stunned.

On the other hand, Li Muyan had already opened his mouth and said, "Come over around ten o'clock. The time is just right, is it okay?"

"Alright, then I'll wait for you at home."

"Good night." Li Muyan's voice was still smiling, Gu Qingyao had a kind of indescribable feeling, she nodded her head and put down the phone, then sat down on the bed.

Not knowing why, Gu Qingyao felt that his usual calmness would disappear completely in front of Li Muyan. He relied on him out of habit, and waited for Li Muyan's arrangements.

Gu Qingyao closed her eyes, as though even her dreams were sweet.

Early morning of the second day. When Gu Qingyao went downstairs, she was already outside. Nian Wanru was rummaging through the things alone, and when she saw that Gu Qingyao had come down, she smiled: "Xiao Yao, bring this along."

"Eh?"

"Your grandfather asked me to bring this to you, it's a pack of common medicine, you didn't go abroad often before, this time you're alone, if there's anything you're not used to, you can use it." Nian Wanru laughed and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Also, before your father leaves today, let me tell you something. For matters like competitions, you must keep a calm mind and not take it to heart.

This was indeed something that Gu Yanzhi would say. Gu Qingyao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry mother, I understand."

"Mm, that's good." Nian Wanru rubbed Gu Qingyao's head, her feelings was indescribably complicated.

It seemed as if Gu Qingyao had grown up overnight and was now completely different from before.

After a while, Li Muyan's car stopped in front of the door, and Gu Qingyao dragged her luggage to open the door. Li Muyan naturally withdrew his hand that was knocking on the door, and smiled: "Looks like you're ready."

Gu Qingyao smiled until her eyes curved in anticipation. "En, I am really looking forward to it. I packed my luggage for the night."

Li Muyan almost could not hold back the smile on his lips as he looked at the Nian Wanru who was not far away with a complicated expression: "Ms. Nian, then we'll take our leave first."

"Alright," Nian Wanru replied, and then subconsciously followed after her for a few steps. "Mr. Li."

Li Muyan naturally pulled on Gu Qingyao's luggage and looked back. Nian Wanru's hands were relaxed yet tight: "Nothing much, Xiao Yao is still young, this is my first time travelling, I have to trouble Mr. Li."

"It's no trouble." Li Muyan's expression was normal as he said indifferently.

Nian Wanru couldn't resist asking, "Xiao Yao, if you have anything to say, contact my family. Just call mother, do you understand?"

"Mom, don't worry." Gu Qingyao smiled and nodded in agreement. Her expression was warm and pretty.

Until he sat in the car with Li Muyan, Gu Qingyao still felt that it was insubstantial.

She turned her head and looked at Li Muyan for a while, and laughed softly: "Actually I had never thought that I would really participate in this competition with Mr. Li. I thought that since Mr. Li was so busy, he would definitely reject me."

"When have I ever refused something you're talking about?" Li Muyan asked with a smile.

Gu Qingyao's heartbeat sped up even more.

But when she thought back carefully, she realised that everything seemed to be as Li Muyan said.

He had never rejected anything. No matter how difficult the task was, as long as he said it, Li Muyan would do it one by one.

He had clearly said before that this was just an exchange of prices, but when he truly walked over, Gu Qingyao realized that she was just joking.

Li Muyan had only taken a single list from him, but he had obtained countless of things from Li Muyan.

Just as Gu Qingyao wanted to speak, her phone rang.

"Miss Gu, where are you?" Mu Tinglan's voice was obviously anxious.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyao asked with a frown.

"Mr. Gu said that there was a problem with your handover and asked you to return to the company as soon as possible, but I saw that there were no problems with the handover and you have already sent it to me, this …" Mu Tinglan was clearly very suspicious as well.

Gu Qingyao said indifferently: "En, no worries, open up my computer, my password is …"

"How much?" Gu Yanzhi immediately took the phone, and said solemnly: "Xiao Yao, if that's not possible, you go back to the company."

"It doesn't matter. I've already prepared them in advance and sorted them out into folders. Actually, I handed them over when I handed them over, but I also made another one for the details. The password is 20201234." Gu Qingyao's voice was incomparably calm.

Gu Yanzhi's face slightly sank, and said with a frown: "I told you to come back, you don't have to look for so many reasons …"

He clicked open the folder and his hands paused slightly.
