Li Muyan's expression was very calm as he spoke, "Father has misunderstood me. I have never thought about it."

Li Xiao lowered his voice and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you really think I don't know? Is that what you've been hiding from me all this time? "

Li Muyan looked at Li Xiao and sighed: "Father..."

"Miss Gu, I want to talk to you." Li Xiao suddenly said.

Li Muyan did not speak, he only looked at Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao laughed and expressed that she could stay here alone. Then, she nodded her head and turned to leave, closing the door behind her.

Li Xiao shook the head of his bed with great effort and sat up. He looked at Gu Qingyao with a warm gaze, as if he was running across the border when he was young.

He was quiet for a long time before speaking, "Actually, I've seen Miss Gu's appearance when she was young. I never thought that in such a blink of an eye, Miss Gu would already be this old."

"Uncle …" Gu Qingyao called out softly, but he did not know how to continue.

Logically speaking, she didn't even know what to call Li Xiao. Li Xiao was supposed to be Gu Yuanshan's friend according to seniority, but Gu Qingyao and her were currently male and female.

Li Xiao obviously did not care about all this, but smiled gently: "Is Miss Gu and Mu Yan lovers now?"

"Right." Gu Qingyao agreed without hesitation.

"After all these years, I have always been in this room, and indeed, I do not know much about the situation outside," Li Xiao calmly said. "Mu Yan will often come here and bring me some news from the outside. This isn't the first time he's mentioned you, but it's the first time he's brought people here together.

Li Xiao looked at Gu Qingyao, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes: "I think, he should have also made his decision."

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will keep this a secret, uncle, please rest assured."

"Miss Gu..." Li Xiao laughed: "Miss Gu's character when she was young was very different from now."

"Uncle probably saw me only ten years ago. At that time, I was too doted on by my family, and I was only a child. Now, I think I'm different from before."

Her eyes were gentle and firm, and Li Xiao was startled for a moment.

"Actually, what I'm worried about is not Miss Gu's problem, but rather, whether or not Li Muyan will let you down. But now, it seems that since he's willing to bring you here, he must have thought of a way for you in the future." Li Xiao looked at Gu Qingyao for a long time before smiling: "I have underestimated you two."

Gu Qingyao never thought that Li Xiao would have such a personality. She was still drowsy, but Li Muyan had already pushed the door open and entered.

"Father."

"What are you so anxious for?" Li Xiao was a little helpless.

Li Muyan looked at Gu Qingyao, and seeing that the two of them were talking happily, he heaved a sigh of relief. He followed Li Xiao and talked about recent events, and seeing that it was getting late, he pulled Gu Qingyao out of the house.

It was only until they had boarded the carriage that Gu Qingyao finally looked at Li Muyan and said, "Thank you for bringing me here."

Gu Qingyao remembered that aside from her hands, Li Xiao had not moved at all and his entire body was covered under the blanket. She was too familiar with this situation.

It was exactly the same as his previous life. Thinking about it, Li Xiao probably hadn't been able to leave this bed for so many years.

Li Muyan was willing to reveal this secret to him, because he knew very well what this meant.

"Don't worry, no matter who asks about this, I will treat it as if it had never happened." Gu Qingyao said with certainty.

Li Muyan looked at Gu Qingyao for a while, then laughed and touched Gu Qingyao's head: "I know."

If not for believing in Gu Qingyao, Li Muyan would never have brought Gu Qingyao here, no matter what.

On the way back, the sky had already turned completely dark. Gu Qingyao was in a daze as she fell asleep on Li Muyan's arm.

Li Muyan smiled, and extended his hand to protect Gu Qingyao, allowing her to lean on his shoulder to sleep more comfortably.

Gu Qingyao was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing.

Gu Yanzhi's voice was very heavy, as if he was suppressing something. "Xiao Yao, where are you right now?"

Gu Qingyao lightly poked Li Muyan, who was beside her, and drew on her palm.

Gu Qingyao understood tacitly: "It's in the Second Ring Road."

"Mm, you go straight home." Gu Yanzhi said: "Someone from my family has arrived."

Someone came from his house?

Who was it?

Before Gu Qingyao could ask, Gu Yanzhi had already put down the phone.

Gu Qingyao held onto her phone with a strange expression, she could only look at Li Muyan: "Father said that someone from his family came."

"Someone's coming?" Li Muyan was also very surprised: "Who is it?"

"I don't know. Father didn't say it directly." Gu Qingyao had a face full of suspicion: "It couldn't be Ling Xiaoman, right? If they came, I presume father's attitude wouldn't be this way."

Li Muyan scratched Gu Qingyao's head: Do you want me to accompany you?

Gu Qingyao thought for a moment, then went over and kissed Li Muyan on the cheek, and laughed: "No need, don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Sure, just let me know if you need anything."

"Right." Gu Qingyao nodded obediently, thought for a bit, and still sent a WeChat to Nian Wanru.

Very quickly, Nian Wanru's response reached her: "Nothing, a distant relative. Xiao Yao will know once he returns."

He could still remember Li Muyan's worry, but Gu Qingyao did not let him drive him directly to his home. Instead, he got off the car not too far away.

However, the moment he returned home, Gu Qingyao was practically startled at the door.

The figure of the person sitting inside was too familiar, so familiar that Gu Qingyao almost felt that she was hallucinating.

It was Mu Han.

For an instant, Gu Qingyao's expression became even darker when she saw Nian Wanru smiling and asking about Mu Han's matters, as if she wasn't really prepared for this person's arrival. Gu Qingyao then quietly walked in.

"Father, I'm back." Her expression was very calm.

Gu Yanzhi laughed: "Xiao Yao, have you met Mu Han before?"

"I did see it a few times." Gu Qingyao didn't know what Gu Yanzhi wanted to do.

Gu Yanzhi then laughed as if nothing had happened to him: "That's good, I just heard that the two of you had met each other a few times before, and it's also convenient to get acquainted with each other. This is the child of my uncle's family, he has been living abroad all these years, hasn't something happened to my uncle's family recently? So he came back to the country, and since no one came to him, I decided to take it over and stay for a while. "

Gu Qingyao's hands and feet were ice-cold.

She suddenly understood what Gu Yanzhi meant.

Gu Yanzhi basically wanted Mu Han to get used to the environment within the country from now on, and prepare for staying in the country in the future, or even taking over the Gu's!

Gu Qingyao looked at Mu Han for a while and suddenly laughed: "Do you not need your dream?"

Mu Han took a deep breath and raised his head.
