C156 (1/2)

She didn't want to make herself sick.

Lu Qinan anxiously walked out, it was already dark outside, and the courtyard looked extremely grand. She saw the two small ones playing nearby from a distance, so she walked to a corner and squatted down.

Returning here after three years, nothing had changed at all. Strange thoughts would often surge in Lu Qinan's mind, especially after seeing Eating and Bao Bao playing around with each other.

His phone rang.

She waited for a while before calming herself before answering.

”Sis, I heard from Sis Huan that brother-in-law already knows how to eat?”

On the other side, Xiao Chen's voice carried some anxiety. Even though they were separated by a great distance, they could do nothing no matter how anxious they were.

Lu Qinan just snorted and raised his hand to cover the cold wind, ”He's not your brother-in-law, we've long ended this.”

She bit her lips, and looked out the door in annoyance. She did not see Gu Zhongshen, so she did not know where he had gone to. It was not early yet, and the guests had gradually arrived. It was bustling with noise and excitement.

Xiao Chen heard that something was wrong, ”Sis, where are you now?”

”Gu’s Yard …”

Lu Qinan saw the old man walk out from the hall, his face was full of smiles, and he was even showing the food to the others in excitement.

She suddenly started to panic as she angrily clenched her fists. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, ”Xiao Chen, can we bring food back as soon as possible? ”I'm afraid that if I stay here any longer, perhaps I really will …”

She was already unable to handle Gu Zhongshen, and adding on the stubborn and tyrannical old man, she was truly afraid that if she were to leave her line of sight, she would not be able to find the little girl when she returned …

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before he heard a voice.

Xiao Chen pressed on his temple and softly explained, ”Sis, don't worry. Since brother-in-law … No, I'm saying that Gu Zhongshen knew about eating since a long time ago, but did not snatch the children away from you.

He lightly paused, a complicated look in his eyes. It was too far away, and many things he had not mentioned three years ago. Three years later, it was even harder for him to speak.

There was only a slight pause. ”Think carefully first, are you determined to take the food with you? ”This will definitely be even more difficult than three years ago …”

Furthermore … If they tried to avoid Gu Zhongshen's search, they probably wouldn't be able to stay in North America any longer. They wouldn't be able to see famous cities in the future.

How was Lu Qinan unclear, but she was currently in a state of panic and was unable to answer for a long while.

Xiao Chen sighed, ”Sis, why don't you ask yourself, do you still love him?”

Love?

Gu Zhongshen?

Lu Qinan suddenly raised her head, and suddenly saw the figure on the balcony on the second floor, the man just so happened to see her, squinted his eyes and walked down, his straight body leaving a long shadow in her line of sight.

Not long after, he hurriedly hurried downstairs. His tall body walked under the light, and the dim light above his head cast a faint shadow over his face. The light and shadow intertwined together, making it difficult to see his emotions, but his footsteps were exceptionally quick.

Xiao Chen urged.

”I really don't want to stay any longer. After two days, I'll go back. Although the Gu family is powerful, there's always a place I can't touch. As long as we're careful in the future, it's not impossible to avoid them.”

”Sis?”

Lu Qinan suddenly froze, the man had already arrived in front of her. His tall body had a strong aura around her entire body, the thick jacket fell down and wrapped around her small body.

Her heart was pounding.

”I, I don't know …”

Quickly hanging up the phone, the little girl slowly raised her eyes and met the pair of eyes that were filled with ink. She was pulled to her feet and forced to stand by his side.

”Who did you call for so long?”

He searched the room, but the phone didn't work, so he didn't want her to hide in this corner.

With his thick eyebrows knitted together, it almost formed a ”Chuan” shape, ”It's not good to stay here, but you have to stand here like an idiot, isn't it cold?”

It was late at night, and the temperature dropped very quickly. In the middle, it was still fine, but the corner she was in was a place that couldn't be reached by the heat. The surroundings were still very dark.

He reprimanded her, and his thick hands helped her to tighten her coat. He accidentally touched her ice-cold skin, and his face darkened again. ”Still not leaving?”

A certain lady ignored him, her gaze still tainted with displeasure as she took the opportunity to brush away his clothes.

Just as she raised her arms, her hands were grabbed along with her clothes. The man used a little bit of effort before he pulled her and her coat into his embrace. The tip of his nose could smell an extremely familiar scent that was floating around him.

Gu Zhongshen directly pressed her into his embrace, and the sound of ”bang bang bang” filled with the rhythm of his heartbeat.

”Grandpa told you not to take it to heart, huh?”

He had just gone to see someone and returned to find her gone. He heard from the steward that the old man had lost his temper, so it was obvious that another unexpected calamity had befallen her.

When Lu Qinan thought about this, he became depressed and struggled.

He didn't want to loosen up, instead, he tightened his grip on her and rubbed his throat for a long time, his voice low and hoarse. ”You gave me my daughter, so even if he wants to rob me, he has to ask me whether I agree.” However, since it's his birthday today, can we not bother with him? ”

How could she want to argue with an old man? Wasn't this old man being excessive?
