Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly, and laughter and cheerful voices filled the Gu residence early in the morning.

Lu Qingyun was awakened by the noise and opened her eyes groggily.

Gu Jinming sat on the opposite balcony, the warm sunlight shining on him, as if gilding him, making him impossible to look away from.

Feeling Lu Qingyun's direct gaze, he turned his head. "Awake?"

Lu Qingyun scratched her hair and lazily hummed in agreement, "What's the situation outside?"

It's quite noisy.

"My uncle and his family came over to visit."

No wonder it's so noisy.

Lu Qingyun threw off the covers and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

After she finished getting ready, Gu Jinming also finished his morning medicine.

Lu Qingyun glanced down at the white porcelain bowl on his table and asked, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

"how?"

Let me check your leg.

Oh, the little money-grubber has finally remembered to treat his leg.

Gu Jinming looked up, his face captivating, his nose straight, his skin porcelain white, his demeanor as aloof as a piece of cold jade.

Heaven is indeed fair; it gave him such a beautiful face but not a healthy body.

"Okay."

The drawn-out ending of the syllable is inexplicably alluring.

Lu Qingyun touched her nose, unwilling to admit that she had almost been bewitched by his good looks. She took a step forward and pushed Gu Jinming toward the hall.

hall.

The distinctive sound of wheels echoed through the hall, and three pairs of eyes swept straight over, landing on Lu Qingyun.

The latter was not intimidated at all. She calmly pushed Gu Jinming in, greeted him one by one, and then sat down on the side.

There wasn't a single flaw in their etiquette.

"Qingqing, how are you feeling? I heard from Ajin that you weren't feeling well yesterday?"

An Qiong took Lu Qingyun's hand and carefully examined her face.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun subconsciously glanced at Gu Jinming.

The latter raised an eyebrow.

"It's ready."

Few people looked at her like that, let alone in such an intimate manner, and she shrank back uncomfortably.

Anqiong noticed her little actions and assumed that she was uncomfortable because she grew up in the countryside and had no one to take care of her.

Thinking of this, Anqiong felt a pang of heartache and secretly vowed to treat the child even better in the future.

"That's good, come and sit down."

She pulled Lu Qingyun to sit next to her, her attitude very intimate.

However, as soon as Lu Qingyun sat down, she felt an extremely resentful gaze directed at her.

She followed the gaze and saw a familiar face walking in through the doorway.

Gu Yan.

"Cousin!"

Gu Yan wore a white dress with a cardigan, and her high heels made her look even slimmer, giving her a fairy-like appearance.

With a light and cheerful tone, Gu Yan jogged over to Gu Jinming's side.

Ok?

Are Gu Yan and Gu Jinming that close?

Lu Qingyun raised her eyebrows curiously.

She wouldn't tell Gu Jinming about the thing that embarrassed her in front of so many people a while ago, would she?

It seems like there's no harm in complaining; staying here, where some things need to be kept secret, would actually be inconvenient for her.

If she really caused him to get a divorce, Lu Qingyun didn't think it was a bad thing.

In that one encounter, Gu Jinming was unaware that Lu Qingyun had already decided to divorce him.

The girl had arrived in front of me; she was youthful and beautiful. The wind from her running lifted the hair on her forehead, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

Gu Jinming didn't even glance at her, only giving a curt "hmm" indifferently.

Gu Yan didn't mind at all. Gu Jinming had always treated her this way for more than ten years, and she had gotten used to it.

The man sitting next to Gu Jian'an had a similar appearance to him. He laughed and said, "Yan'er, girls shouldn't be jumping around all day. Your cousin isn't well, so don't bother him. Come and sit down."

His words were full of protectiveness towards her; he was clearly a doting father.

Gu Yan stuck out her tongue and said "okay" in a soft voice, then squeezed next to Lu Qingyun. "Sister-in-law, I'll sit with you. I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly last time I saw you."

Last time?

Those present sensitively picked up on those two words.

"Last time? So Qingqing and Yan'er have already met?"

Anqiong blinked and asked curiously.

Lu Qingyun subtly moved a little closer to An Qiong, showing no sign of unease or discomfort. She simply hummed in agreement, offering no explanation whatsoever.

After hearing this, Gu Yan felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Her hand, resting on her knees, unconsciously squeezed her skirt until it wrinkled.

“Aunt, I met my sister-in-law at Shengyu Company. She is well-liked and seems to have a good relationship with Young Master Han. I think Young Master Han is quite protective of her.”

"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Xing frowned upon hearing this.

Such words are easily misunderstood, and offending his younger brother would be disastrous.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that my sister-in-law and Han Shao had an ambiguous relationship. I just, I just think they have a pretty good relationship."

Gu Yan covered her mouth, looking as if she had said something wrong.

Lu Qingyun watched this scene and sighed silently in her heart.

Her acting skills are truly impressive; if she were to enter the entertainment industry, she would definitely have a place there.

Anqiong wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, she frowned.

Is this an open and subtle way of saying that my Qingqing is having an ambiguous relationship with another man, and that you don't respect her?

Just as she was about to speak, Old Madam Gu suddenly slammed her cane on the ground, the sound so loud that Lu Qingyun's ears trembled.

Gu Yan shuddered in fright.

Despite the old lady's ever-present smiling face, her family has been in the military for generations, and she herself was a member of the performing arts troupe. She is a woman who has even been on the battlefield and seen flesh and blood.

When she gets angry, it's definitely not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Gu Jinming focused his gaze on Lu Qingyun, who looked over at him strangely.

Gu Jinming immediately smiled at her, his eyes conveying a sense of reassurance.

He originally wanted to speak up for Lu Qingyun, but Old Madam Gu was even faster than him. With a single tap of her stick, the stage was in her hands.

“I know Qingqing better than anyone else. She would never do anything to ruin her reputation. Yan’er, you’re not young anymore. I don’t think you need anyone to teach you what to say and what not to say.”

Madam Gu's face darkened slightly, her sharp eyes fixed on Gu Yan.

Gu Yan had been pampered since childhood and had never been looked at like that before. She was so frightened that she dared not speak.

Yu Weiqi is about the same age as An Qiong and has a rather fiery personality. However, she is extremely afraid of Old Madam Gu and often tries to avoid coming to the main house if possible.

I came here today simply because Gu Xing said he needed Gu Jian'an to take a look at a contract, so I had no choice but to come along and say hello.

Little did she expect that her daughter's unintentional remark would anger Old Madam Gu so much.

She beckoned to Gu Yan, gesturing for her to sit next to her.

Gu Yan no longer dared to sit next to Lu Qingyun and hurriedly ran to Yu Weiqi's side.

Gu Xing hadn't expected that Old Madam Gu would fly into a rage over a country girl.
