520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"Nian Nian, have you slept well recently?"

Gu Lingyan drank the light nourishing soup calmly, raised his eyes and asked casually.

The corner of Xiang Huanian's eyes twitched, and the hand holding the bowl of rice paused slightly.

But it was only for a moment, Xiang Huanian quickly concealed it and replied with a smile:

"Of course I sleep well. I work so hard typing every day, from day to night, sometimes even until the early morning. I fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed..."

When people are panicking, they always involuntarily want to use other emotions to cover up their own abnormalities.

But who is Gu Lingyan? The subtle uneasiness between Xiang Huanian's eyebrows was almost invisible in Gu Lingyan's eyes, which were like a magnifying glass.

"You..."

Gu Lingyan sighed helplessly, put down the still boiling soup, and picked up Xiang Huanian's slightly cold hand.

"Look, it's all in the news. They've all been arrested, the organization behind them has been uncovered, and the surviving victims are all receiving active treatment. The police are also working hard to help those victims in the field find their families... It's all over. Don't put all the responsibility on yourself..."

Gu Lingyan pulled Xiang Huanian to his side, then carried Xiang Huanian to the hospital bed. He held the soft but somewhat worried little girl in his arms and comforted her softly.

His warm big hands held Xiang Huanian tightly, giving her silent comfort. At the same time, he patted her thin back gently again and again, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

It seemed as if he wanted to coax Xiang Huanian to sleep by all means, all the depressed emotions deep in his heart.

"Mr. Gu..."

Xiang Huanian, hiding in Gu Lingyan's arms, choked with sobs and called out to Gu Lingyan softly.

"Well, I'm here."

Gu Lingyan hugged Xiang Huanian tighter, rubbing his chin against the little girl's hairy head, using his body temperature to warm the sentimental, thoughtful but stubborn girl in his arms.

In fact, she herself also dislikes Xiang Huanian's personality.

No hardship, no suffering.

Whenever Xiang Huanian thought of those women lying on the ground in that village, gradually melting away and turning into bones, he couldn't help but feel waves of regret for them.

They should have been brilliant, but they could only become fertilizer, silently emitting faint miasma in an empty corner day after day.

What good would it do them to seek justice now? The damage had already been done, and some of it had even been buried in the earth and could not be recovered. They could only seek justice for one thing, and could not shake the fundamental justice...

Thinking of this, Xiang Huanian began to fall into the vicious circle of thinking that she unconsciously restricted herself.

"It's not your fault, Nian Nian..."

Sensing the change in the mood of the little girl in his arms, Gu Lingyan lowered his head and leaned close to Xiang Huanian's ear. He whispered in her ear a magnetic and affectionate voice, bewitching Xiang Huanian's mind.

The low and sexy voice, like AMSR, flowed from the irresistible temptation channel, along the slightly boiling blood, all the way into Xiang Huanian's heart.

Xiang Huanian, who had hidden voice control, immediately felt his ears go numb and his waist softened. His hands that were supporting Gu Lingyan's chest lost their strength and fell softly into Gu Lingyan's chest, completely sticking to him.

Feeling the softness gently pressing against his chest, Gu Lingyan froze.

Although, he did it on purpose, he didn't expect the effect to be so good...

Gu Lingyan: "..." His conscience seemed to hurt a little...

But I still feel bad after all.

Gu Lingyan's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of water. Then, he lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing Xiang Huanian in his arms, and whispered:

"Um, Nian Nian, you..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Gu?"

When someone you like or care about calls your name, you will subconsciously respond and react.

The blush on her face was like peach blossoms, and her eyes were watery. Xiang Huanian raised his head and met Gu Lingyan's slightly panicked pupils.

The warmth of the hug, the close distance, both parties can feel each other's breath, their breaths intertwined, the ambiguity is hard to break, the breath of rain on Gu Lingyan's body and the light lemon scent on Xiang Xuannian's body intertwined, bursting out a silent but tangible hormonal color.

A good atmosphere always gives rise to endless courage and impulse in people, which can also be called a hot-headed act.

"Gu Lingyan..."

Xiang Huanian looked at the lips so close to him. The lips were pink but with a hint of paleness. They had a beautiful shape and were slightly parted, as if tempting him to go deeper.

Those lips look so kissable...

The thoughts that were inescapable in Xiang Huanian's mind suddenly disappeared at this moment, leaving only this one thought.

Xiang Huanian thought about Gu Lingyan’s confession to her before... She felt that it was time to respond to him now.

"Ok?"

Hearing his name being called out from Xiang Huanian's mouth again, Gu Lingyan felt relaxed all over, and even the aching wound seemed to be less painful.

He smiled slightly, lowered his eyes, looked back at Xiang Huanian, and stared directly into Xiang Huanian's bright starry eyes. The tenderness in his eyes was almost about to dissipate and condense into tangible love, enveloping Xiang Huanian's whole body, leaving no room for others to interfere.

"Does what you said on the night of the New Year's Eve dinner still count... You said I was Woxi..."

This is the first time I have confessed my love in my lifetime.

Xiang Huanian never knew that putting these four simple words "I like you" together and saying them out loud would be such a difficult thing.

I'm shy and embarrassed to be honest, afraid that the other person might suddenly become sincere, and I'm also worried that the other person's love for me may not be as strong as before...

All kinds of complicated thoughts gathered in Xiang Huanian's brain, like a mess that couldn't find its direction. Then, his speech system became chaotic as well. Xiang Huanian was like a saw-mouthed gourd, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

When he mentioned that night, the night that nearly broke Gu Lingyan's heart, and thought about how he had confessed his feelings and given Xiang Huanian time to think about it, Gu Lingyan's spirits perked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body became excited. He immediately responded:

"certainly……"

"Brother! Little sister! You don't know what I just saw!!!"

At critical moments, there will always be someone who disrupts the situation.

I don’t know whether it was Gu Lingyan’s bad luck or Xiang Huanian’s bad luck.

Gu Shaoyu, with an excited face, went back and forth, as if he wanted to convey some good news to Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan. However, every time, the timing of Gu Shaoyu's intervention was really too bad.
