"Young Mistress, don't blame Mrs Xu for talking too much. Third Young Master has always treated you with care. I watched Third Young Master grow up, and he's not that kind of person. He must have his own difficulties in what he did."

How could Xin Xuanyin not know of Mrs Xu's good intentions? But between her and Gu Yingming, it was indeed not something that could be clearly explained with just a few words.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about Gu Qi's difficulties, but she really couldn't imagine what kind of difficulties a person would have to linger in the flowers.

"Thanks, Mrs Xu. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Yesterday, she had been in a trance, unable to do anything, due to her relationship with Gu Lin.

She must return Ning Yan's gift to him today.

Looking at Xin Nianyin's emaciated back, Mrs Xu could not help but shake her head and sigh. Why did the Third Young Master want her to feel sad for such a good young lady?

Although Gu Jianming hadn't come home that night, he also hadn't gotten a good night's sleep. Xin Nianyin's helpless squatting posture kept popping up in his mind.

That woman had always been strong in front of him. Since when did she have such a side to her?

Due to her relationship with him, Ning Yan had already begun investigating the Gu Clan. Soon, he would find out who sent him the photo of that day.

Gu Chenghui's actions had also become more troublesome because of Ning Yan's interference.

He understood Ning Yan's intentions very well. Logic told him that using Xin Xinyin to restrain Ning Yan was the best method at the moment.

This way, he would be able to achieve his desired goal faster, but damn it, he just didn't want to do it.

Every time he thought of that woman, he would feel an intense reluctance, heartache, and pity.

He could deceive others, but in the end he could not betray his own heart.

The woman who was with him yesterday had long since been tossed somewhere by him.

Early this morning, he had gone back to the Gu household as if he had seen a ghost. He only wanted to see how that woman was doing.

Seeing Gu Bo who hadn't been home for a long time, Mrs Xu was also a little surprised, not having enough time to put down the things in her hands, she hurried to welcome him, smiling as she said, "Third Young Master, you're back."

"Mrs Xu, how many times have you said it? You can just call me Xu, but what about her?"

Gu Qi's voice was faint, but when she asked Xin Nianyin, her eyes were much gentler.

For a smart person like Mrs Xu, it was naturally because she knew who she was referring to.

"The young mistress went out early in the morning. She had been in bad shape for the past few days. She seemed to be sick and had lost a lot of weight."

Mrs Xu seemed to be casually explaining something. In the Gu family, observing one's facial expressions was the most basic. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay in the Gu household for so long.

"Is she sick? Did you call the doctor? "

Gu Qi asked anxiously. He couldn't hide the worry in his voice. He rarely showed his emotions on his face like this.

"That's right. Young madam hasn't had a proper meal these past few days. This morning, I saw that she wasn't in a good mood."

Gu Qi was shocked by Xu Ma's words, and her mind recalled how she had clutched her stomach and crouched down in pain yesterday.

Was this stupid woman unable to even take care of him?

"Understood, Mrs Xu, go back to work."

After saying that, Gu Qi rushed into the master bedroom, which was empty as always.

She didn't bring back a single one of the gifts that filled the room yesterday.

A strange feeling flashed through Gu Qi's heart. He looked at the nightgown Xin Nianyin always wore next to the wardrobe and muttered, "Xin Nianyin, what should I do?"

At the same time, Xin Nianyin was already waiting for Ning Yan in the Ning Mansion.

The reason why she called him yesterday was most likely because of that necklace. Ning Yan didn't need to think to know.

The reason why he didn't pick up the necklace on purpose was because he thought Xin Xinyin would accept it and know his intentions.

Both roses and necklaces mean "unrepentant love."

Just as he felt for her now.

The depth of the Gu family's water was so deep that Xin Nianyin probably didn't know how deep that man was. Even he couldn't see through it.

He really didn't want to see Xin Nianyin hurt. A gentleman had the beauty of adulthood, and if Xin Nianyin was blissful, he would wholeheartedly bless her and then leave her life far behind.

But that was not the case.

To think that Xin Nianyin was waiting for him at the Ning Residence's building so early in the morning. Ning Yan couldn't help but admire this woman's persistence.

She was in such a hurry to draw a clear line between them?

"Ning Yan!"

As soon as she saw Ning Yan's car, she impatiently ran up, afraid that he would run away.

"Yo, honey, you came so early to throw yourself into my arms?"

He definitely would not reject the idea of taking advantage of Xin Nianyin.

As expected, Xin Nianyin was shocked by Ning Yan's' darling '.

"Are you disgusted or not? Are you seeing the wrong person?" Did you forget to take your medicine today? "

As she spoke, she took out the gift box from her bag.

"I've received your necklace out of goodwill. However, this gift is too precious for me to accept."

As she spoke, she prepared to stuff the gift box into Ning Yan's hands.

"Ahh, wait a minute. How can I return a gift that I, Ning Yan, gave?" Furthermore, Gu Qi is such a playboy that you won't have a good time marrying him. Why don't you think about me? "

Ning Yan appeared to be disrespectful to the world. Others only thought that he was a rich young master who was trying to take advantage of a woman from a good family.

However, only he knew how much seriousness there was in those words.

"It's best if Director Ning doesn't make fun of me. With Ning Yan's qualifications, just how many famous ladies in Shanghai would want to make fun of me for the next hundred years? Why would you joke with me?"

Xin Nianyin spoke in a very official tone and did not take Ning Yan's words to heart.

Taking advantage of Ning Yan's panic, she shoved the necklace into his hands.

Ning Yan looked at the necklace in his hand and smiled helplessly. He looked at Xin Xinyin with a profound look, "Didn't Gu Mi say it before? I like married women. Plus, you suit my taste."

"Hehe, Director Ning's tastes are really heavy, so I won't keep you company. I still have to thank you for remembering my birthday. I'm truly grateful, so I'll be leaving first."

Xin Nianyin laughed dryly. Without waiting for Ning Yan to react, she ran away from the Ning Family.

Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xin Nianyin's fleeing figure. This woman was really adorable.

The heavens were too cruel to him. Why didn't they let him know her earlier?

On the other hand, Xin Nianyin, who was busy fleeing for her life, did not have the time to care about Ning Yan's thoughts. She only felt that she had encountered a lunatic.

Previously, she had been like a high and mighty god, making things difficult for her. Now that she was familiar with him, she was like a lunatic. She spoke everything out, and this rich young master was truly making fun of her.

'Darling! 'At the thought of Ning Yan calling out to her, Xin Nianyin couldn't help but shiver.

Xin Xinyin ran as she caressed her chest until she was sure that she had escaped from Ning Yan's sight. Only then did she relax.
