Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Gu Qingsong's pupils dilated, and he broke out in a sweat.

Over the years, he has had little contact with Liu Bao'er.

The few times they did were all done in secret, and we were very careful each time, so no one should know.

Moreover, although he did have contact with Liu Bao'er, it really wasn't that kind of relationship; this is truly a huge misunderstanding.

Was it Xu Dachuan, who was hostile to him yesterday? Or that new male educated youth surnamed Gao?

I heard that Liu Bao'er has been acting very strangely lately, actively chasing after that male educated youth surnamed Gao. Could it be that Liu Bao'er told him this?

If he finds out who smeared him in front of his wife, he will definitely not let that person off easily! Gu Qingsong thought bitterly.

But the most important thing now is to clear up the misunderstanding and prevent his wife from misunderstanding that he is having affairs.

Gu Qingsong put down the chicken soup in his hand, squatted down in front of Lin An'an, and looked serious.

Lin An'an's expression froze as she watched the man's series of actions.

Could it be that Gu Qingsong really has a crush on Liu Bao'er? Now that she's exposed him, he's simply stopped pretending and is going to confront her, even refusing to give her the chicken soup anymore?

Gu Qingsong, unaware of Lin An'an's thoughts, solemnly stated, "I truly do not like Liu Bao'er."

Listen to this, listen to this, so solemnly saying that you really like Liu... um? You don't like him? Lin An'an came back to her senses.

"There were reasons why I brought food to Liu Bao'er and helped her."

Lin An'an finally calmed down and listened attentively to the explanation from the man in front of her.

Gu Qingsong paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts, and tentatively asked, "You know about my family background, right?"

Lin An'an nodded affirmatively.

After carefully confirming that there was no disgust or contempt in Lin An'an's eyes, Gu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Liu Bao'er helped me before."

“My grandfather passed away many years ago. Before he died, he was very hungry and just wanted to drink some hot porridge. I was too young at the time to earn money to buy food.”

Gu Qingsong paused for a moment, then continued, "I knew the Liu family was well-off, so I secretly sneaked into their house at night."

Hearing this, Lin An'an felt a pang of sympathy. Although she was an orphan, the modern social welfare system was comprehensive, and she had never gone hungry during her childhood.

Gu Qingsong was so young then, and suddenly experienced a family tragedy, falling from grace and into despair. His only remaining family member, his grandfather, also collapsed. How helpless he must have felt.

Lin An'an was tongue-tied and didn't know how to say anything nice, so she couldn't help but squeeze Gu Qingsong's hand.

Gu Qingsong felt the gentle pressure on his hand, and his heart softened instantly. These dark memories seemed to brighten up in an instant.

Gu Qingsong patted Lin An'an's hand and said, "Liu Bao'er happened to get up in the middle of the night and found me, but she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she gave me half a steamed bun."

“I ran home with the steamed buns, but Grandpa was already delirious and couldn’t eat anything. I was worried, so I went to boil water to soak the cold, hard steamed buns so that Grandpa could drink them.”

"But by the time I brought the steamed bun soup back, my grandfather had already passed away."

"Ah..." Lin An'an couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong smiled and, seeing that Lin An'an's eyes were red, comforted her, saying, "It's all in the past. I'm doing fine now."

"Although Grandpa didn't get to eat it in the end, the half-steamed bun that Liu Bao'er gave me was a lifesaver at that time. That's why I would occasionally bring her food after I was able to, and I would also help her when she asked for help."
