520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"Um... I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I've caused you trouble again."

Xiang Huanian picked her fingers nervously, turned slightly sideways, and apologized to Gu Lingyan who was sitting next to her.

Gu Lingyan: “…”

He knew what was going on.

The vague feeling of dissatisfaction has always lingered in my heart.

There is also that inch, something missing that cannot be felt from Xiang Huanian.

It's her excessive humility.

On the surface, it seems that he will not allow himself to be wronged, and he will handle things well when encountering them, even better than many older people.

But, in fact, inside, it was like... Gu Lingyan didn't know how to say it, it felt as if, when he wasn't paying attention, the little girl curled up... and locked herself up, building a high tower.

She doesn't know how to love herself.

I don’t know how to let down my guard and love others.

She was ignorant and didn't understand, so after vaguely sensing his advances, her first reaction was to escape and feel guilty.

So, now, at this moment, in the cold room, Xiang Huanian was so nervous that he kept pinching his fingers, but he was still looking at his expression and carefully making excuses.

what……

Gu Lingyan really wanted to see what kind of family environment would raise such a good little girl to be like this——

It's clearly not her fault, she should be afraid too, and she should be the one who should be comforted, but instead, she worries about others more than herself... That's not right either.

It's an apology to him.

But, what is it for?

Could it be that she opened the door unintentionally during this unexpected disaster?

Or, do you feel guilty about letting him come to the police station and sit on the bench?

It's impossible that you're feeling embarrassed because you didn't subdue the delivery guy in the first place?

It's... ridiculous. How could a grown man like him "fall" to the point of being protected by a little girl, a little girl whose foot injury hasn't healed yet?

I have to say that from some perspectives, Gu Lingyan's understanding of Xiang Huanian's thoughts was completely correct.

However, even though he felt a little ashamed, the feeling of being protected by Xiang Huanian made Gu Lingyan feel a soft spot in his heart itchy.

Just a little.

Gu Lingyan sighed and thought to himself, the little girl looks weak, but she is quite stubborn.

After she finished speaking, Xiang Huanian lowered her head, waiting for Gu Lingyan to "announce the result" to her. She hadn't received a response for a long time and was already feeling uneasy. Now she heard Gu Lingyan sighing and wondered if she was being disliked.

But the next moment, Xiang Huanian felt a pair of warm big hands, gently and steadily supporting his face.

Then, he slowly pulled himself together and met the other person's equally dark eyes.

There was seriousness and solemnity in his eyes as black as ink.

At such a close distance, Xiang Huanian discovered that Gu Lingyan's eyes, amidst the darkness, faintly revealed a hint of amber transparency, which was very beautiful and gave people the illusion of deep affection.

It was like a spring, so warm that the person being stared at seemed to be drowning in the fantasy he had woven.

It was also like a mirror, completely reflecting my appearance in his eyes, blank and empty.

Realizing the overly ambiguous close distance, Xiang Huanian subconsciously wanted to escape, but the next moment -

Xiang Huanian heard the other party's beautiful red lips utter:

"it's not your fault."

The words are short, but they touch the depths of the soul.

Xiang Huanian's pupils suddenly constricted, as if he didn't believe what he heard... Untie the sticky bonds.

-

That being the case.

Then.

I'll pull you up.

countless times.

Let me tell you - it's not your fault.

-

"Just now at home, I scared you. I should have been the one to open the door."

As Gu Lingyan spoke, he stroked Xiang Huanian's cheek with the tip of his thumb, as if to comfort and coax his beloved child.

"It's my fault."

Listening to the "speculated" accusations coming out of Gu Lingyan's mouth.

Xiang Huanian found it funny but also felt like crying.

There is no one like this.

"Okay, don't always think it's your fault. You'll be easily bullied if you do that."

The deep voice was hoarse from being drunk, yet inexplicably sexy and magnetic.

Warm, gentle, clean and clear, like a mellow cello.

He is also like an tolerant and generous elder.

No one has ever told her this.

Quick.

Xiang Huanian's eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her eyes wide, desperately suppressing her tear glands that were about to become incontinent. With a bit of crying and nasal sound, she tried to respond:

"Ok!"

He nodded slightly, but couldn't help himself.

A hot teardrop, carrying Xiang Huanian's body temperature, fell on Gu Lingyan's palm.

"despair."

The weight of the tears gently hit Gu Lingyan's skin, and also heavily hit Gu Lingyan's heart.

His deep pupils shrank slightly, his heart trembled, and his restless Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Gu Lingyan felt that he was drunk tonight and there was a high probability that he would never wake up.

------

outside.

Sister Yan and Xiao Zheng, who were called out, remained silent as they looked at the surveillance footage extracted from the computer.

The memory card that was removed was from the surveillance camera on the gate.

Therefore, the angle of the lens radiation is mainly based on the outside of the gate.

Only a part of the door can be seen:

At the beginning, a delivery man wearing a bright jacket broke in without permission, holding up his cell phone, and stood in front of Xiang Huanian, pressing him step by step.

Then, Gu Lingyan appeared in the camera, protected Xiang Huanian, and stopped the delivery man.

Later, because the delivery man tried hard to get his phone back, Gu Lingyan and the delivery man moved to a corner where the surveillance camera could not see them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The picture is silent, and when the characters move out of the camera, nothing can be seen.

After a period of silence, figures appeared on the screen again, and two security guards came over after hearing the noise.

Then, Sister Yan and Xiao Zheng only saw Gu Lingyan hand over the unconscious, limp, and staggering delivery man to the security guard with his cooperation.

"The entire incident is recorded here. Nothing else happened afterwards, unless the security guard kidnapped someone."

Sister Yan and Xiao Zheng: "..."

This surveillance is too sensible, right?!

All the necessary causes were captured on camera, and combined with the video on the delivery man's phone, we can basically piece together the entire incident.

And the part that shouldn't have been filmed, the part where Gu Lingyan subdued the delivery man...how come it just happened to be outside the surveillance camera?
