After finishing her barbecue, Gu Qingyan picked up a tissue and wiped her fingers one by one. She lowered her eyes to hide her watery gaze, and said in a lazy and wicked tone, "But to come here demanding an explanation after sleeping in Master Du's bed, your skillful methods suggest that Master Du didn't do this."

Shen Yechu's innocent baby face was so shocked it looked like it was about to crack open. She never expected her junior uncle, who was usually so strict in his words and actions, to be so bold.

Xie Shiren, forgetting his lesson, couldn't help but speak up in defense of Shangguan Du, "Gu Qingyan, I must change my brother Du's name. Although my brother Du has a devilishly handsome face, don't overcomplicate things. He only has that woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Tian covered his mouth.

His gaze as he looked across at Shangguandu was sharp as a blade, ready to strike at any moment.

Xie Shiren knew he had done something wrong.

The living room was dead silent.

Gu Qingyan curled her thin lips and chuckled, "Tsk, I didn't expect Master Du to have already slept with someone else?"

Shangguan Du: "..."

This time, Xie Shiren didn't dare to interrupt, and pressed Shangguan Tian's hand tightly to cover his mouth.

Gu Qingyan held her chopsticks, her legs crossed in mid-air, and swung them gently. She said with some regret, "Then I'm sorry, I prefer men who are chaste and self-disciplined. After all, I have a serious case of mysophobia. It's a pity that Master Du is so handsome."

"Mmm..." Xie Shiren's shoulders twitched, and his face turned red.

Shangguan Du glared at him with a sharp look.

Xie Shiren tried his best to restrain himself.

Jiang Yan lowered his head and laughed silently. The big boss was different; he could beat up investors and he could still get angry at the young master.

No one spoke at the table.

Xie Shiren silently poured Gu Qingyan a glass of juice. "Gu Qingyan, why isn't your brother saying anything? His complexion looks a bit off."

Shen Yechu looked at Gu Qingyan.

Junior Martial Aunt has always been unrestrained, and right now she seems to want to sever ties with this gentleman.

Previously, Junior Uncle would simply throw these suitors out the door, but this time he's much gentler.

However, you probably can't find a face as stunning as this one in the entire capital city, one that's on par with Junior Uncle.

Shen Yechu was genuinely curious as to why her junior uncle would refuse someone with such a face.

She glanced at Shangguan Du out of the corner of her eye.

Although her view was limited, it didn't affect her at all; even she couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "What a prodigy!"

The man had deep, aloof eyes, a hint of languor, and dark pupils that conveyed a sense of detachment that kept people at a distance. Yet, an intimidating pressure emanated from him, filling the living room.

There was no emotional fluctuation.

There was always a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

Looking at Shangguan Du's expression, Shen Yechu felt that sense of familiarity resurface.

This was the first time she had met this man, so why did he seem so familiar to her?!

Gu Qingyan ate a piece of meat and said indifferently, "Don't pay attention to him, he'll be fine in a while."

"Younger brother? Isn't he your adopted younger brother?" A male voice suddenly rang out.

"Isn't that nonsense? I'm so handsome, I'm obviously my sister's brother!"

Gu Qingyan's lips curved slightly, and her cold eyes narrowed slightly.

Fu Zhihan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "So they're siblings."

"Of course!" Gu Xun rolled his eyes. He and his sister looked so alike, okay? They were both handsome and beautiful.

Xie Shiren laughed out loud without any politeness, "Your little brother is quite arrogant, huh?"

"Sis, it's all because I'm too handsome. They all misunderstand our relationship." Gu Xun's phoenix eyes curved into crescents.

Gu Qingyan glanced at him sideways.

“It’s no wonder others are like this. This morning he warned me to have some self-awareness and not to dream of pursuing you,” Shangguan Du put the Sichuan pepper chicken into Gu Qingyan’s bowl, picked up a piece of fish and picked out the bones, then sighed, “He also threatened me that if I kept pestering him, he would beat me up and tell me to be careful walking at night.”

Gu Xun almost choked and looked up at Shangguandu in disbelief.

He clearly did not say those words.

Okay, that's what he thought to himself.

Gu Qingyan glared at Gu Xun, who shrank back and said, "Sister, don't listen to this scoundrel's nonsense. I never said anything like that. He's a liar."

Gu Qingyan didn't look at him again.

Gu Xun panicked, "Okay, I didn't say the rest."

Gu Qingyan naturally knew his nature. If he had said those words to Shangguan Du, would Shangguan Tian and the others have let him off the hook?

However, the unspoken understanding between the two has been largely revealed.

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes, seeing it and saying it are two different things.

Shangguan Du suddenly turned the tide and got both of them caught in the crossfire.

Gu Qingyan slowly looked towards Shangguandu, her eyes gradually turning cold.

Shangguan Du smiled gently and openly, enduring the cold light, and handed her the fish meat with the bones removed. "Don't be angry."

Gu Qingyan looked at him without saying a word, but the coldness between her brows dissipated considerably.

Gu Qingyan is a typical example; if you're unhappy with her or provoke her, once she's made up her mind, she's someone who won't listen to reason or force.

But now she's actually falling for Guandu's act of feigning weakness.

Is it because Shangguan Du is good-looking, or because he usually has a very strong aura?

impossible.

Gu Qingyan quickly dismissed the idea.

What kind of men hasn't she seen in those 299 years!

Even though she was said to be difficult to please, she felt that this man was against her sexual orientation in every way.

She completely falls for his act.

Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes and didn't look at him again.

Seeing Gu Qingyan like this, Shangguan Du knew that she had been taken care of, and glanced at Xie Shiren.

Xie Shiren understood immediately, raised his glass, and said, "Let's drink."

……

Jiusen Jue Se.

"Sheng Laosan, have another drink." Gu Mingqi looked at the message on his phone and refilled Sheng Jinheng's glass.

The man on the sofa had a smug look on his face and a faint smile. He sank back into the sofa and looked around. "Xiao Ming, where are Brother Du and the others? Did they go to R Continent?"

"No." Gu Mingqi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

“Look at you,” Sheng Jinheng smiled, “Why are you so panicked? It’s been a year since we last met, and you’ve become distant with your buddy? You can’t even watch your mouth, did you learn that fussy Xie Shiren?”

As he spoke, he pulled a cigarette from the cigarette pack on the table and lit it. The white smoke swirling around him made him look even more roguish.

“Oh, right,” Sheng Jinheng said, as if remembering something, “have you ever met my sister?”

His grandfather found his younger sister from outside, who had been kidnapped and lived away from home since she was a child.

It became quite a sensation in Beijing.

I've heard that she's greedy, loves money, and is so vain that she followed Sheng Xuanyue's example and entered the entertainment industry.

Mentioning this, Gu Mingqi perked up. "Oh, I saw it in the news by chance."

I wanted to ask some other questions, but then I remembered Shanda's instructions.

Don't try to understand your sister based on what others say; that's disrespectful. You have to see for yourself.

Sheng Jinheng suddenly put his arm around Gu Mingqi's shoulder and whistled in a nonchalant manner.

"Tell me the truth, which girl has Brother Du hooked up with?"

Gu Mingqi suddenly realized that this job wasn't something he absolutely had to do.
