When Liao Fang heard the noise and came out, he could no longer see the two people. He hurriedly knocked on Xie Yuci's door, but got no response, so he took out his cell phone to contact her.

He didn't dare to say anything for a while. If Xie Yuci wanted to go out on his own initiative, and he went to find Xu Zhong first, wouldn't that be equivalent to reporting him?

Well, he still had to report it, but if it was her own idea, he could delay the report later.

When Xie Yuci was grabbed by the wrist by Gu Yandong, he knew that things were bad. Others might need to go through Xu Zhong, but this guy didn't care about Xu Zhong at all.

Between resistance and obedience, Xie Yuci chose to cooperate. The two of them climbed over the stone wall tacitly and then took a taxi to the downtown area.

Gu Yandong took her to a night snack stall he often went to, ordered twenty kilograms of crayfish, and then went to the snack street to search for various snacks. He filled a table with food before sitting down.

Xie Yuci put on gloves and began to peel the shrimps, eating them with relish.

Gu Yandong picked up various snacks, introduced them to her one by one, and fed them to her.

Xie Yuci couldn't eat enough, and he couldn't escape even if he waved his hands. His mouth was stuffed full, and he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Gu Yandong sat opposite her, also a starving man, eating while complaining about the taste of the food there.

Xie Yuci nodded, saying everything without saying anything. Gu Yandong answered the phone in the middle of the call, and after hanging up, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking depressed.

Xie Yuci rarely saw him like this, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did Xu Zhong call you?"

Gu Yandong: “…”

Why would Xu Zhong call him? Xu Zhong would directly send someone to take him back.

"Um... no..." Gu Yandong continued to be emo. Seeing that she didn't seem to want to ask anymore, he whispered, "It's my dad..."

"Your dad, oh..." Xie Yuci nodded and fell silent again.

"Well... my dad asked me to go home and take a look." Gu Yandong's face was full of emo, and there was a hint of grievance between his brows.

Xie Yuci nodded in understanding. It must be very uncomfortable for both of them during this special period when their father wanted to see them but they couldn't go back immediately.

"Is your home far from here?" Xie Yuci asked as they ate.

"It's not far. Our house is just one street away from that gate." Gu Yandong.

"It's quite close. Let's go back and take a look later. After that we'll go back to the military area." Xie Yuci waved his hand. This was not a big problem.

They must go back after coming out for a midnight snack, otherwise Xu Zhong will not be able to protect them.

No, it is also possible that no one can protect Xu Zhong.

"..."

Gu Yandong was so moved that tears filled his eyes. He raised the beer bottle towards her while eating.

Xie Yuci was also a passionate person. He drank two cups with him and ate a lot.

Gu Yandong paid the bill and went out to buy a lot of things at the end.

Because the place was congested, the two did not take a taxi. Instead, they walked to the gate, crossed the square, and came to the street that Gu Yandong mentioned.

The long street is decorated with lights and colors, as if every day is so new and lively, and a faint fragrance wafts from the quaint courtyards.

Xie Yuci looked at the gilded plaque above, then turned to look at Gu Yandong: "Is your family a descendant of royal nobles?"

"No." Gu Yandong shook his head and whispered to her, "The Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago. If they were really royal relatives and nobles, how could they be kept safe there?"

"..."

Two hours ago.

The Gu family’s door was always crowded with people coming to give gifts, and the door was so crowded that it broke down.

Today is Mr. Gu’s birthday. It wasn’t a grand celebration. Only a few close relatives were invited. Somehow the news leaked out, and the other people who were not invited all sent gifts, which made the Gu family very busy.

When Qi Zhen and Shen returned, Mr. Gu was just being invited out from inside and sat down on the dragon and phoenix chair.

When he heard two people coming to celebrate his birthday, he hurriedly stood up, but was helped back down by the people on both sides. He was the birthday boy, so how could he be allowed to greet the guests?

After Qi Zhen and Shen Hui registered the gifts, they walked inside.

Old Master Gu was extremely happy to see the two of them. After a brief greeting, he looked towards the door.

Qi Zhen knew who he was waiting for and his eyes met Shen Hui's.

Shen Hui ignored him.

Qi Zhen's face turned red. He said he couldn't come and just asked someone to send a gift. He was worried that Mr. Gu would ask about Gu Yandong and he didn't know how to explain it.

Shen Hui downplayed it and said that Gu Yandong would go back tonight.

Qi Zhen didn't believe it.

Now there is no one in sight.

Old Master Gu waited for a long time but still didn't see the person he wanted to see. His smiling face could not hide his disappointment, and he was about to retreat to the backyard to rest.

Suddenly someone in front shouted: "The young master is back, the young master is back, master, the young master is back..."

The shout of "Young Master" caused an uproar in the crowd.

They all knew that the 'young master' referred to that ancestor.

Everyone turned around and looked towards the door.

Red lanterns illuminate the entire courtyard. A handsome man and a beautiful woman walk in through the ancient gate. The man is holding a gift box in his hand and looks back to whisper. The woman lowers her eyes to listen, and when she looks up, her beautiful face is so stunning that it makes people's hearts shake.

Old Master Gu was so excited that he stood up from his chair and wanted to walk towards them, but he was afraid of scaring them, so he could only wait there trembling.

After Qi Zhen and Shen Hui congratulated them, someone brought them tea.

Qi Zhen and Shen Hui took the tea from the tray, expressed their thanks, and drank from the cups.

Qi Zhen drank and chatted with Shen Hui about some things.

Hearing the word "young master", he looked up in surprise and saw two figures coming in from the door. The tea that had just reached his mouth choked his throat. He coughed for a long time and finally ran to the side to spit it out.

Shen Hui: “…”

Qi Zhen came back and saw that his eyes had changed. "What's that look in your eyes?"

"Nothing." Shen Hui looked away.

"Hey, why do you look like that? What are you suspicious about?" Qi Zhen became even more depressed.

"..."

Shen Hui ignored him and his eyes fell on the two people coming in from the door.

Qi Zhen wanted to explain that his reaction was simply due to his surprise. How could Xie Yuci appear here...

Instead of...being attracted by beauty.

Thinking of the last time he teased Shen Hui in the car, Qi Zhen felt a surge of regret. He didn't expect the backlash to come so quickly.

Shen Hui was born without emotions, and this was known a long time ago.

How could a maniac without emotions be tempted by beauty?

When Xie Yuci walked in and saw people in the courtyard, the expression on his face changed slowly, and he quietly raised his hand to pinch Gu Yandong's arm.

Gu Yandong let out an exaggerated "Ah!", moved closer to her, and explained in a low voice: "Today is my father's birthday, and I just wanted to come back to see him."

Xie Yuci: "..."

He said he wanted to come back and visit, but he didn't mention it was his father's birthday, and yet it was still this kind of scene.

Xie Yuci always felt that the looks in these people's eyes were indescribably strange and too profound, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in.

Old Master Gu had been looking forward to seeing Gu Yandong, but at this moment, his eyes were all on the woman beside him, but...
