”Sorry I'm late.”

An Biliang, who had been waiting for the Gu family to come up with an excuse for Ye Nuo, had a drastic change in expression when he heard this. He turned around and saw Ye Nuo walking gracefully into the living room with a gift in her hand.

”Uncle, Auntie, please forgive me for being late. There were some traffic jams on the way, please forgive me.”

They both said that they wouldn't hit a smiling person even though they didn't like Ye Nuo. However, he could not say anything in the face of Yennefer's gentle and courteous attitude.

”It doesn't matter. Since you're here, then come over and sit.”

Gu Benhen was also surprised by Ye Nuo's sudden appearance, but he didn't show it on his face and gave the seat beside him to her.

Upon seeing this, An Biliang couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart. He had wanted to take that position for himself, but was rejected by Gu Ben Ling.

The reason was that he didn't like people on his left and right while he was eating, but what was going on now? Why could Ye Nuo sit on his chair?

”I didn't expect Miss An to be here too. I'm sorry I didn't bring you a present. I'll make it up next time.”

Ye Nuo's words caused the smile on An Biliang's face to freeze, but he immediately relaxed, ”It's alright, Miss Ye is busy with her work, it's normal for her not to know that I'm staying here.”

”I wonder how many days Miss An intends to stay here?” If I live here for too long, I hope that I can find some time to take care of my uncle and aunt. ”

Ye Nuo's words were exactly the same as Ye Nuo's family's. An Biliang forced out a smile, ”Miss Ye, what are you saying? Taking care of uncle and aunt is my duty. After all, I am considered half their daughter.”

”Is that so?” Ye Nuo didn't say anything more. She glanced at An Biliang, then shifted her gaze to Gu Ben Shen. ”You've been a bit tired recently, but you seem to have lost some weight. You should eat more during the meal.”

Faced with Ye Nuo's sudden concern, Gu Benhen knew why she had done so.

He was still hesitating on whether he should call her today. Now that she had come herself, he was somewhat worried. He thought about how he should explain to her, so why didn't he call her over? Did she misunderstand him? Would he be angry?

Father Gu saw that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he immediately smiled and said, ”Alright, since everyone's here, then let's eat. The food won't taste good when it's cold.”

With father Gu's words, the others didn't dare to say anything and started to eat.

During this time, Gu Benhen would often give food to Ye Nuo and softly remind him, ”This is too spicy, you can't eat it. Don't forget you have a stomach problem, so eat more light food.”

Gu Benhen's gentle actions towards Ye Nuo caught the attention of even Anfey, and he was so angry that he wanted to leave the table immediately.

He had known Gu Benheng for a long time, but he had never seen his gentle side. Even when she was his fiancee, she had still maintained a cold face towards him. She had never seen Gu Ben Shen treat anyone warmly or softly before.

During the meal, Gu Benhen watched Yenno's every move and knew that the main reason she had come to the house was to make her feel sick.

Seeing that she was almost done eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand. ”Father, we're done eating. I'll send her back first. You guys eat slowly.”

Saying this, without waiting for father Gu's reply, he stood up and held Ye Nuo's hand, nodding slightly as a form of farewell to the crowd. Then he left the Gu household with Ye Nuo.

Seeing the two leave without any courtesy, the Gu family did not have any reaction. They didn't even care about the situation. An Bi-Lun was on alert, and a sense of crisis began to rise.
