upstairs.

Gu Jingyuan took Mu Qianxue to her room. Mu Qianxue was still buried in Gu Jingyuan's arms, holding on to his clothes tightly with both hands.

The chest area of ​​Gu Jingyuan's clothes was already wet with Mu Qianxue's tears...

"Xueer, be good, we are in the room, please raise your head first, okay?" Gu Jingyuan coaxed softly.

Mu Qianxue then raised her head and looked at Gu Jingyuan, her eyes were red from crying.

Gu Jingyuan felt distressed again.

He put Mu Qianxue on the sofa, reached out and gently touched her head, and then sat down next to her.

Mu Qianxue looked at Gu Jingyuan's clothes and said angrily: "Brother Yuan, go change your clothes first..."

"It's okay." Gu Jingyuan said softly.

Mu Qianxue said nothing, only stared at Gu Jingyuan.

After a while, Gu Jingyuan surrendered.

He gently scraped Mu Qianxue's nose and said, "Okay, okay, brother, go change clothes. Then Xue'er will wait here for brother, don't cry secretly, you know?"

"Yes." Mu Qianxue nodded obediently, her little head lowered, obviously in a low mood.

After touching Mu Qianxue's head again, Gu Jingyuan left and went to the room to change clothes.

A minute later, Gu Jingyuan came back after changing his clothes.

Mu Qianxue sat on the sofa, hugging her knees and lowering her head.

Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and glanced at Gu Jingyuan, and said softly: "Brother Yuan changed it so quickly..." Then she lowered her head again.

Gu Jingyuan walked to Mu Qianxue and sat down, touched her head and asked softly: "Xueer, don't you want to see brother so much? As soon as brother comes, you lower your head."

Mu Qianxue looked up at Gu Jingyuan, her tone a little aggrieved: "How can I not, Brother Yuan has wronged someone again..."

Gu Jingyuan gently touched Mu Qianxue's eyes and said distressedly: "My eyes are red from crying..."

Mu Qianxue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word...

At this moment, she felt like there was a mess of ropes tangled together in her heart, which she couldn't sort out or distinguish...

Mu Qianxue was silent for a while and then called out: "Brother Yuan."

"Well, brother is here." Gu Jingyuan said softly.

Mu Qianxue said nothing. After a while, she called again: "Brother Yuan."

"Good boy, brother is here." Gu Jingyuan touched Mu Qianxue's head and replied.

Mu Qianxue's expression looked a little distressed.

She felt that she had a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say...

"If you don't know what you want to say, just stop talking."

Gu Jingyuan gently touched Mu Qianxue's head and said, "Whenever Xue'er wants to say something, just tell her brother that he will always be here."

After a long while, Mu Qianxue nodded slightly.

Gu Jingyuan said again: "Don't think so much, there is a brother for everything."

"Yes." Mu Qianxue nodded again. She looked up at Gu Jingyuan and said, "Thank you, brother Yuan."

Gu Jingyuan pinched Mu Qianxue's face gently: "Brother said, Xue'er doesn't need to say thank you to brother."

Mu Qianxue nodded, looked at Gu Jingyuan, gently twitched the corners of her mouth, and showed a smile.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to go down to eat?" Seeing that Mu Qianxue was in a better mood, Gu Jingyuan asked.

Mu Qianxue nodded first, then shook her head.

Gu Jingyuan understood what she meant and asked again: "Brother, go down and bring the food up. Can we have dinner up there?"

"Okay." Mu Qianxue nodded.

"Wait here for my brother, obediently."

After Gu Jingyuan finished speaking, he stood up and was about to walk to the door when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Mu Qianxue sat up straight in an instant, looking a little embarrassed.

Gu Jingyuan hugged her and patted her back gently: "It's okay, brother, go open the door."

Mu Qianxue nodded and looked at the door nervously.

Gu Jingyuan opened the door, and standing at the door was Zhou Ma and two other servants, both holding meals in their hands.

Mu Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of unnoticeable loss in her heart...

Zhou Ma said respectfully: "Master, we will bring dinner to you and the eldest lady."

"Yeah." Gu Jingyuan turned around and walked back to Mu Qianxue, "Bring it in."

"Yes." Zhou Ma responded, and together with the other two servants, placed the food in front of them, and then said, "Young master and eldest lady eat slowly, we will go down first."

"Yeah." Gu Jingyuan nodded.

After Zhou Ma and the servant left, Gu Jingyuan handed the chopsticks to Mu Qianxue and said, "Let's eat first."

Mu Qianxue nodded and took it, then put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites.

"What's wrong? Can't you eat?" Gu Jingyuan asked.

Mu Qianxue looked at Gu Jingyuan, shook her head gently and said, "I don't want to eat it..."

Gu Jingyuan sighed secretly, took a spoon, picked up Mu Qianxue's bowl of rice, took a spoonful, handed it to Mu Qianxue's mouth, and coaxed softly: "Brother, feed you."

Mu Qianxue pursed her lips slightly and looked at Gu Jingyuan without saying anything.

"Xue'er, be good, be obedient, and eat your food first, okay?" Gu Jingyuan continued to coax, "If you don't eat, you'll be hungry and you'll feel uncomfortable."

Mu Qianxue then opened her mouth and ate the food.

Just like five years ago, Gu Jingyuan fed Mu Qianxue a bowl of rice one spoon at a time.

Then he filled another bowl of soup, and just as he was about to continue feeding Mu Qianxue, he heard her say: "I'll drink it myself. Brother Yuan, hurry up and eat."

"Okay." Gu Jingyuan put the soup on the table, "Then Xue'er drinks it by herself, be careful not to burn it."

"Yeah." Mu Qianxue nodded, picked up the chopsticks and gave Gu Jingyuan a piece of meat, and said, "Brother Yuan, eat this."

Gu Jingyuan chuckled: "Okay, thank you Xue'er."

Mu Qianxue shook her head and sipped the soup in small sips.

After dinner, Zhou’s mother came up to clear away the dishes. Mu Qianxue suddenly asked: “Zhou’s mother, are they... gone?”

Zhou's mother was stunned for two seconds, then reacted and replied: "Miss, not yet."

"Oh." Mu Qianxue said softly and said nothing.

Seeing that she had nothing to ask, Zhou's mother packed her things and left the room. She closed the door gently and Zhou's mother sighed.

The eldest lady...is such a distressed child...

When the eldest lady first came to the Gu family, she was depressed every day. Now she finally feels happy, but...

After Zhou's mother left, Gu Jingyuan touched Mu Qianxue's head and asked, "Xueer, do you want to go down and take a look?"

After hearing this, Mu Qianxue looked up at Gu Jingyuan with a somewhat hesitant look on her face.

"Brother, can I go down with you?" Gu Jingyuan asked softly.

Mu Qianxue still didn't speak.

Gu Jingyuan said again: "Brother knows that Xue'er is not able to accept them yet. How about treating them as guests first? There are guests coming and they are leaving. Should we say goodbye to them?

What? This is how a good and polite baby behaves, right?"

Mu Qianxue nodded.

Gu Jingyuan continued: "How about Xue'er and brother go down to say hello to the guests?"

Mu Qianxue thought for a while before saying, "Okay."

"What a good baby." Gu Jingyuan touched Mu Qianxue's head again and said. Then he stood up and stretched out his hand towards Mu Qianxue.
